Pastoral Daily Life

Chapter 19: force of nature

    Wang Shuxiu drank some chicken soup in the evening and left, stewed a whole chicken and kept it for Lu Lingxi. Lu Lingxi didn't have much appetite, so he ripped off a little meat, and both chicken legs went into Da Hei's belly. After eating and drinking, Da Hei squinted his eyes contentedly, and strolled to the back courtyard.

    The tomatoes in the yard have only started to bear fruit after only two weeks of planting. Although the tomatoes that are now produced are only the size of glass beads that children play with, and they are still green, but the speed has surprised Lu Lingxi. Normal tomatoes take at least two months and three months from planting to fruiting. Fortunately, Wang Shuxiu didn't care about this, but one day he casually mentioned that the tomatoes in the backyard were growing a little faster, and he didn't say anything else.

    Last time, Yihang helped to find some simple sheds to surround the fence, and now you can't see the inside from the outside. Lu Lingxi felt a little guilty, but fortunately, Wang Shuxiu and Yi Hang were both big-hearted, they only muttered a word or two when they saw it, and they didn't think much about it. I don't know what these tomatoes will look like when they grow up? Can you eat? Is the president weird? The seeds rewarded by the panel are always a little different from ordinary seeds, right?

    After routinely watering the tomatoes, Lu Lingxi sat on the balcony and clicked on the white panel.

    After this period of hard work, the heart of plants on the panel is already 248∕1000 (tier 1). 248 looks a bit too much, but it is still a long way from the 1000 upgrade. Lu Lingxi encouraged himself in his heart, come on. He wondered a little about what kind of functions would come out after the panel was upgraded again. This time is a mental scan, next time?

    Because she had to get up early the next day, Lu Lingxi read a book, took a shower, and went to bed early. Da Hei once again abandoned the backyard nest and stayed on Lu Lingxi's bedside. Lu Lingxi scratched Dahei's chin and acquiesced to Dahei's behavior.

    "If I knew earlier, I wouldn't have to work hard to build a nest for you. It's much more convenient to buy a mattress directly."

    Da Hei came over and stuck out his tongue and licked Lu Lingxi's finger, Lu Lingxi couldn't help laughing, and touched its head, "Sleep."

    Lu Lingxi slept well at night, but Yan Yue had another insomnia. It would be fine if he had been insomnia, Yan Yue was used to it after all. But he slept well a few days ago because of Lu Lingxi's reasons. After two days of good times, he returned to before the liberation, and his whole body suddenly felt bad.

    At two in the morning, Yan Yue sat in front of the computer with a cold face. On the other end of the computer is An Jie, Yan Yue's assistant. An Jie is a classmate of Yan Yue University and has been with Yan Yue for five years after graduation. This time Yan Yue returned to China and deliberately left An Jie abroad to sit in the overseas branch of Hepu Group for him.

    Following Yan for a long time, An Jie can already judge his mood at this moment from Yan's subtle expression. For example, now, despite the screen, An Jie seems to be able to feel the low air pressure that pervades Yan Yue's head. As a qualified assistant, An Jie also knows something about Yan Yue's insomnia. It's not that he hasn't seen Yan Yue working in the middle of the night, but he always felt that Yan Yue was irritable at most, and now he was like a volcano on the verge of eruption.

    After reporting on some recent affairs, An Jie closed the documents in his hand and glanced at Yan Yue with concern, "Boss, when are you coming back?"

    Before returning to China, Yan Yue mentioned that he would stay in the country for about a month, but now it will be a month, but Yan Yue has not returned at all, so An Jie is a little worried .

    Meaning to go back, Yan Yue frowned slightly, thinking of Lu Lingxi for the first time.

    "I have something to do. I'll talk about it when I go back."

    Yan Yue has been staying abroad since graduation, and his development focus is also abroad. Compared with these so-called family members who are in chaos at home, Yan Yue prefers a foreign country without any relatives. In Yan Yue's plan, Yan Shihui will not delegate power to him for at least ten years. During this time, he will fully develop his foreign business and prepare for the future. Yan Yue's life is like a train with a clear goal. He has carefully planned in advance where the destination is and which platforms will stop on the way. The only exception is Lu Lingxi.

    After meeting Lu Lingxi, Yan Yue suddenly wanted to overturn the previous arrangement. His destination was no longer what he planned before. by his side.

    Yan Yue rubbed his forehead with a headache, the teenager will definitely not go abroad with him in a short time, only he stays in the country. As a result, some things have to be discussed in the long run.

    An Jie vaguely saw something from Yan Yue's expression, although the expression on his face remained unchanged, the fire of gossip was burning in his heart. Is the boss in a bad mood at this time because of love? This conclusion is quite frightening, An Jie immediately thought a few words in his heart, absolutely impossible.

    After the two finished talking, An Jie finally remembered that the time in China was two in the morning, and urged Yan Yue to rest earlier. After turning off the video call, Yan Yue still didn't feel sleepy. He picked up the information about Lu Yishui that he had investigated before and read it.

    According to the data, Lu Yishui is very good at gambling. For ten years one after another, he did nothing, just wandered around various poker tables and underground casinos. Over the years, Lu Yishui has won and lost, but basically he has lost more and won less. He owes a lot of money outside, and has been relying on the income of his wife Wang Shuxiu to support his family and repay his debts.

    The most recent one was a month ago, when Lu Yishui lost a small 200,000 at the gambling table. He didn't give up on borrowing loan sharks to turn over the book, but he lost again. After a month, the profit has rolled to more than 400,000 yuan. This amount of money was nothing to Yan Yue, but a gambler like Lu Yishui was a dog-skin plaster, and it couldn't be torn off after sticking it on. What Yan Yue was worried about was not Lu Yishui sticking to him, but Lu Yishui entangled Lu Lingxi and Wang Shuxiu and refused to let go.

    Habitually knocked on the desk, Yan Yue's slender fingers stopped on another name shown in the data, Xiao Feng.

    Xiao Feng is very interesting, he is 40 years old today and is single. He has only been in Fengcheng for more than ten years. He has grown from a small gangster to now. He has two chess and card halls under his command, and also part-time loan sharks. What Lu Yishui owes is Xiao Feng. These are not the focus of Yan Yue's attention, the point is that Xiao Feng's actions are very unexpected. He has an older brother in his hometown in the northwest who contracted a small private coal mine. About a quarter of the workers in the mine owe money to Xiao Feng. These people, Xiao Feng, are covered with food and shelter, and their wages are never deducted and paid on a monthly basis, but every time the wages are paid to their hands, they are covered with heat, and they have to be returned to Xiao Feng's hands soon. When you pay off the money owed to Xiao Feng, you can leave from there. Before leaving, Xiao Feng also sent a travel fee plus half a month's living expenses to ensure that this person would not starve to death on the road.

    Private small coal mine? Yan Yue hooked the corner of his mouth, it was a good place.

    At five in the morning, Lu Lingxi got up. He slept early last night and was in good spirits. After simply cleaning up, Lu Lingxi went out with Da Hei. The time he made with Grandpa Su was six o'clock, and it would be almost the same time to have an early stroll.

    At this time, before Wang Shuxiu came back from the night shift, Lu Lingxi left a note for Wang Shuxiu in the living room. At first, Wang Shuxiu was not optimistic about Lu Lingxi's work. She always felt that the little **** couldn't bear the hardship, and it was estimated that he would quit his job and go home in a few days. But half a month has passed, Lu Lingxi's work is actually enjoyable, and he has bought a lot of books, and he sees it late at night every day.

    Wang Shuxiu was shocked when she cleaned up the house for Lu Lingxi the day before yesterday. There were more than a dozen books in the empty bookcase. Although it's all about growing flowers and farming, Wang Shuxiu doesn't care, don't care about what to read, as long as the little **** knows how to read. She calculated the money for the books, and Lu Lingxi guessed that she had saved the money for the meal. Immediately called and scolded Lu Lingxi, and left another 200 yuan for Lu Lingxi that night.

    Through this incident, Wang Shuxiu gave up, and the little **** probably really doesn't want to go back to school for the first year of high school. Forget it, it's good to learn a craft, but it's really not good. She will take the little **** back to her hometown to farm, and she will never starve to death.

    Wang Shuxiu didn't mention school anymore, but Lu Lingxi was not at ease, and always wanted to find an opportunity to talk to Wang Shuxiu. He also knew that his junior high school education was a bit low, so he thought about saving some money in the future to sign up for a night school and go to an adult university or something. If he majored in horticulture or agriculture, he could apply what he had learned. Of course that's all for the future.

    Lu Lingxi thought wildly, and led Da Hei straight to the steamed bun shop at the entrance of the community.

    Seeing Lu Lingxi coming over, the chubby Tian Jun, the owner of the bun shop, smiled at him, "Oh, Xiaoxi got up so early today."

    "Brother Tian." Lu Lingxi greeted politely.

    "Or two meat buns?" Tian Jun asked while holding the buns.

    Lu Lingxi touched Dahei's head, "Six this time."

    Tian Jun glanced at Da Hei and understood, and said casually, "Hey, this dog can eat it."

    Lu Lingxi smiled shyly and did not speak.

    Looking at Lu Lingxi's distance, Brother Tian shook his head and sighed, Wang Xiaohua had come after all the hardships. It's all in the same community, and everyone knows who's home and what's going on. Wang Xiaohua has a strong temper. A woman supports a home, but Lu Yishui and mud can't support the wall. Even if there is a son, it is impossible to say what Lu Lingxi can be like. Who would have thought that Lu Lingxi walked around after the gate of **** closed and reborn was like a different person. Speaking of it now, everyone said that Lu Lingxi had amnesia, so don't think about the past. There are also a few jokes. It would be nice that one day my little brat also loses his memory.

    Lu Lingxi didn't know Brother Tian's sighs, he was squatting on the side of the road and feeding Da Hei buns. After eating two, Da Hei turned his head away and refused to eat.

     

    Da Hei cupped the bun with his mouth and motioned Lu Lingxi to wrap it up.

    Lu Lingxi looked at its behavior, suddenly remembered what Brother Tian said before, and looked at it dumbfounded, "Is it because of what Brother Tian said?"

    Da Hei whimpered in grievance. Lu Lingxi couldn't help it anymore, he couldn't stop laughing while squatting on the side of the road.

    Da Hei is even more wronged.

    Lu Lingxi quickly touched its head and coaxed: "Brother Tian is joking, boasting that you can eat means you are in good health. I hope that Dahei eats more and grows stronger, so that in the future protect me."

    After coaxing for a long time, Da Hei seemed to accept this reason, licked Lu Lingxi's fingers, and ate the remaining two buns. Lu Lingxi frowned and looked at Da Hei with a funny look. He made up his mind that he must exaggerate and exaggerate Da Hei in the future to protect Da Hei's sensitive little mind.

    After one person and one dog finished eating the buns, they slowly walked to the street corner of the gardening store.

    "Little Lu, here." Su Weizheng seemed to have just arrived, and waved to Lu Lingxi as he walked.

    "Grandpa Su." Lu Lingxi dragged Da Hei and ran to Su Weizheng's side.

    Su Wei was looking at Lu Lingxi with a smile, "Let's go, it's just over the river, we'll be there after a stroll."

    The flower market is not far from the street of the garden store. It is not true to say that it is a flower market. It is more like a communication place for flower lovers. There are indeed all kinds of flowers as Su Weizheng said, most of them are raised by nearby farmers for sale, and a small part of them come from several large flower beds around Fengcheng. Lu Lingxi heard Su Weizheng say that this flower trading market was initially formed by a few flower lovers, but as it became famous, more and more people came, and the scale became larger and larger. Some flower lovers in Fengcheng basically know this place.

    Su Wei is pulling Lu Lingxi to watch with great interest, occasionally commenting. The flowers of this family are well-raised, but the flowers of that family are not prosperous. Lu Lingxi had just finished reading a flower illustrated book, and he mentally scanned it all the way. At least half of the flowers in the flower illustrated book were known.

    The two and the dog were watching the excitement. At the corner, a few people squatted on the ground and didn't know what they were looking for.

    "Let's go, go and see what's going on." Su Weizheng was old-fashioned, so he pulled Lu Lingxi and walked over.

    When I got closer, I found that there were a lot of rotten flowers and plants in the corner of the corner. It is estimated that they were cleared from the surrounding stalls. Several old men who were about the same age as Su Wei were squatting there, picking and choosing with pity on their faces.

    "Look at this, the quality is really good, but unfortunately the roots are all rotten."

     "That one will never survive and will die. If there is a slight chance, those people are reluctant to throw it away."

    "Look at this, this is a rare wild orchid. Who picked it? If you don't know how to pick it, don't touch it. You can see that the root is completely cut off. It's really a waste."

    "This is a bit of a pity, the product is better than the one just now, and the number is definitely more than that."

    The speaking old man stretched out his finger and compared a three-character.

    Lu Lingxi's mind was between 30,000 and 30,000 yuan, Su Wei was watching him listen seriously, and then sighed, "It's a pity, it's a pity to raise it to 300,000 yuan. More than that."

    Lu Lingxi: "…"

    Almost subconsciously, Lu Lingxi released a mental scan, and a white panel appeared.

    Plant Name: Wild Chunlan

    Plant Requirements: None

    Plant Viability: Dead

    Lu Lingxi felt regretful when he saw that he had died, and was about to withdraw his mental scan when a sentence suddenly appeared under the white panel.

     "The plant is dead, do you need a little power of nature to revive it?"

    Lu Lingxi: "…"
