Pastoral Daily Life - Chapter 123

    Lu Lingxi had a meal at Uncle Li’s house at noon, and walked with Yan Yue in the afternoon to go to the Lingshui River to have a look.

    A few years ago, the two discussed to rent a few more acres of land by the Lingshui River and dig a bigger pond. There were a lot of things at that time, and the pond thing was never implemented. This time, the two planned to live in the flower garden for a day, and signed the lease contract by the way. Uncle Li had already contacted them before, the price and the tenure of the leased land had been negotiated, and it was time for them to make a final decision.

    The two of them planned to sign a contract after dinner, but the other party happened to go out to visit relatives today and would not be able to come back until evening. Lu Lingxi thought that he was not in a hurry anyway, so he just went to the river to have a look, and planned how to divert the water easily.

    The two walked slowly, Da Hei quietly following Lu Lingxi’s side. Although it was early spring, it was not cold at all outside, and the sun was shining warmly on the body. Before going out, Yan Yue insisted that Lu Lingxi wear a down jacket, but he himself only wore a woolen jacket. Lu Lingxi protested for a long time before trying to avoid wearing a down jacket. It was too hot to wear. He remembered Uncle Li’s reminder and discussed with Yan Yue whether to find someone to dig a well. Uncle Li was worried that there would be a severe drought in the spring.

    Speaking of which, Mr. Li is not unfounded. The weather has been a little weird since last winter until now. At the beginning of November last year, the temperature in Fengcheng suddenly dropped sharply. There was no heating at that time, and it was freezing even at home. Many people have caught a cold from the cold, and the cold medicines on the market are almost swept away. Later, Fengcheng provided heating ten days in advance, and experienced old farmers said that they encountered a cold winter. Who knew that it was cold for a month in total, and the weather began to warm up again in December. After that, there was no snow for two whole months, and the good weather continued until the Chinese New Year.

      Uncle Li was a little worried, and told Lu Lingxi in private that he was afraid of severe drought depending on the weather. But he can’t say for sure, and he doesn’t know what happened in recent years. God is like the face of a child. For example, in the east of Guangdong, where Uncle Li’s son works, there was a severe drought in the spring last year, and even the water at home was difficult. After a few months of hard work, it started to rain. As a result, the rain could not stop at all, and it turned into a flood. All in all, such an abnormal climate is not a good thing, so Uncle Li thought about digging a well to prepare.

    Lu Lingxi doesn’t know much about this, but he believes in Uncle Li’s judgment. He said that Yan Yue agreed immediately, and Yan Yue had no objection at all, as long as Lu Lingxi was happy.

    “There are also Qiutian flower garden and father’s vegetable greenhouse.” Lu Lingxi added, after thinking about it, he said to Yan Yue: “Why don’t we pay for a well in the village, anyway, together It is also convenient to fight, what if there is a drought?”

    Micro Gardening and Lingshui Village have always cooperated well, and the residents in the village also take good care of Lu Lingxi. Lu Lingxi vaguely regards this place as his second home, and his affection for Lingshui Village is much deeper than that for Zhongjing. He has been thinking about doing something for the village. He doesn’t have much money to dig a well, and it is convenient for the village to stop water in the event of a severe drought.

    After Lu Lingxi finished speaking, she looked at Yan Yue expectantly. Yan Yue laughed lightly and agreed, “Okay.”

    Yan Yue is used to doing things from the perspective of interests, but likes Lu Lingxi’s softness and kindness. He rubbed Lu Lingxi’s hair dotingly and jokingly said, “Xiaoxi is the boss, and Big Brother Yan listens to Xiaoxi.”

    Lu Lingxi glanced at him with a puffed face, and smiled with her eyes bent.

    The two walked all the way to the Lingshui River, and they heard the rushing sound of the river in the distance. This was the first time that Lu Lingxi came here after the Lingshui River was completely purified. Different from the blue water he saw on the panel, the Lingshui River in front of him was clear and transparent. Under the sunlight, it seemed that even the patterns on the pebbles at the bottom of the river could be clearly seen.

    Because of the warm weather, the moist soil by the river has already had tender green grasses. Lu Lingxi squatted by the river and reached out to touch it excitedly, and greeted Yan Yue to come and see together. Last year, when the Lingshui River was the most polluted, except for the mutated bitter grass at the bottom of the river, almost nothing grew on the riverside, and it was extremely bare and ugly. Although the green patch in front of him is not very conspicuous, in Lu Lingxi’s eyes, it looks prettier than anything else.

    “Brother Xiaoxi.”

    Little Stone ran over from the village with Ah Huang from a distance, calling Lu Lingxi’s name as he ran. Lu Lingxi got up with a smile, and the small stone rushed towards his arms like a small cannonball. Yan Yue was worried that Lu Lingxi wouldn’t be able to hold the small stone, so he reached out his hand to stop it lightly, and brought the small stone into his arms. Xiao Shishi pursed his mouth and stretched his voice softly, “Brother Xiaoxi…”

    Lu Lingxi stood beside Yan Yue amusingly and touched Xiao Shishi’s face, “Little Shishi happy new year.”

    Little Shitou immediately became happy, smiling and squinting, “Brother Xiaoxi, Happy New Year.”

    Lu Lingxi took out two red envelopes from Yan Yue’s coat pocket and handed them to Xiao Shishi. He has been receiving red envelopes throughout the New Year, and finally has the opportunity to give them away. “Come on, brother gave it to you.”

    Little Stone blinked and shook his head, “Mom told me not to accept red envelopes from others.”

    Lu Lingxi saw that his little face was serious, and smiled slightly, “It was given by Brother Xiaoxi and Brother Yan, not someone else.”

    Little Stone happily accepted the red envelope and grinned loudly: “Thank you Brother Xiaoxi and Uncle Yan.”

    Yan Yue: “…”

    Lu Lingxi was about to die laughing, the little stone was clearly intentional. He couldn’t help laughing and didn’t look at Yan Yue’s expression, he reached out and squeezed Xiao Shi Shi’s face. “Little bastard.”

    Little Stone hugged Lu Lingxi’s arm in a pleasing manner, and squeezed from Yan Yue’s arms into Lu Lingxi’s arms. With the last lesson, Xiao Shishi has been quite obedient during this time. Every day I either stay at home obediently, or follow Yu Xiaojuan in the flowerbed. On the first day of the first day, Lu Lingxi called him and said that he would come to Lingshui Village in Nian, and Xiao Shishi began to look forward to it. After finally waiting for Lu Lingxi to come over, Xiao Shishi went to the flowerbed to find no one around, but Ah Huang sniffed the smell of Da Hei and searched all the way.

    Lu Lingxi played with Xiao Shi by the river for a while, and it was almost three o’clock. Yan Yue touched Lu Lingxi’s face, although he said it wasn’t too cold outside, but after staying for a long time, his face was still a little cold to the touch. Seeing his movement, Xiao Shitou rolled his eyes, and immediately said obediently, “Brother Xiaoxi, let’s go back.”

    Lu Lingxi also felt that he had been outside for a long time, so he nodded.

    With his back to Lu Lingxi, Xiao Shishi made a face at Yan Yue. Yan Yue’s heart sank, and he rudely reached out and carried the small stone to his side. “Uncle Yan is pulling you.” Yan Yue focused on the word “uncle”. Xiao Shishi wanted to break free, but he couldn’t resist Yan Yue’s strength. He pursed his lips and looked aggrievedly at Lu Lingxi.

    Lu Lingxi was dumbfounded, there was no way to take the two of them. He was about to speak when a dog barked from the far village. Da Hei stopped abruptly, called Lu Lingxi in a low voice, and ran towards the village quickly.

    A Huang closely followed behind Da Hei, Yan Yue frowned slightly, “What’s wrong?”

    Lu Lingxi looked in the direction of the village with a strange expression, and said, “Da Hei said that the dogs in the village were bullied.”

    “What gray cat?” Lu Lingxi was a little dazed.

    Xiao Shishi clenched his hands into fists and explained to Lu Lingxi angrily: “I don’t know when a big gray cat came to the village. That cat is so annoying, it bullies the village. The dog in the village. Ah Huang fought it twice. The big cat ran away every time he couldn’t beat Ah Huang, and when Ah Huang was gone, he came back to bully the dogs in the village.”

    Since Xiao Shi can communicate with Ah Huang, he subconsciously regards himself as being on the side of the dogs in the village. Every time he sees the dogs in the village being bullied, Xiao Shishi has a kind of anger of the same enemy.

    Lu Lingxi and Yan Yue looked at each other, and both felt that this cat was not an ordinary cat, it should have evolved. “Let’s go and see.” Yan Yue said.

    Lu Lingxi nodded.

    The three entered the village and followed the barking of the dog all the way to find it. Soon he saw a big gray cat squatting on the roof proudly, squinting and looking down at Da Hei. Daikuro hunched his back and looked at it vigilantly. A familiar little white dog happily ran around Da Hei, barking provocatively at the gray cat from time to time. The gray cat was too lazy to pay attention to the little white dog, and kept his eyes fixed on the big black. On the contrary, Da Hei was still distracted by the little white dog. Whenever the little white dog left its range, Da Hei would stop the little white dog with one paw. The little white dog seemed to think that Da Hei was playing games with it, sticking out his tongue and licking Da Hei’s face affectionately, and ran more happily.

    The grey cat on the roof heard the footsteps of Lu Lingxi and turned around lazily. When it saw Lu Lingxi clearly, it immediately gave up the confrontation with Da Hei, and rushed to Lu Lingxi, meowing.

    Lu Lingxi met the gray cat’s golden pupils, feeling faintly that he had seen this cat somewhere. Yan Yue reminded: “Last time south of the city.”

    Lu Lingxi was stunned. The last time he and Yan Yue went to the south of the city to see the purification of the soil there, they happened to meet this cat. At that time, the cat was lying on the tree basking in the sun and barked at him a few times. However, the south of the city is a long way from here, and I don’t know how this cat ran so far here?

    The **** saw Lu Lingxi trotting in front of him, and the gray cat glanced at Lu Lingxi again, turned and jumped away.

    “It’s it.” Little Stone said angrily.

    Lu Lingxiu coaxed Xiao Shishi comfortably, feeling that Xiao Shishi was even more angry than Da Hei, as if he had been bullied himself.

    “Wait until we catch it next time and teach it a lesson?”

    Little Stone nodded vigorously, “You must teach him a lesson, and don’t let him bully the dogs in the village.”

    Lu Lingxi agreed with a smile.

    After coaxing the small stone, the two sent the small stone home. On the way back to the flower garden, Lu Lingxi and Yan Yue talked about the cat. He remembered that Xiao Hei was also found in the village last time, and this time he found the cat in the village again. It is estimated that both were attracted by the big willow tree. In a way, animals are much sharper than humans.

    Lu Lingxi thought of this and looked up at the big willow tree not far away. Through the panel as an intermediary, he has a wonderful connection with the big willow tree. Lu Lingxi had a faint feeling that the big willow tree seemed to be evolving again.
