Pastoral Daily Life - Chapter 135

    At 9:00 am, Micro Gardening is open as usual.

    Lu Lingxi habitually finished cleaning the store, put away the odds and ends on the table at the door, and finally put the camellias he brought back from the flower garden on the table.

    Camellia, also known as Datura, is a traditional ornamental flower in China and one of the famous “Ten Famous Flowers”. In recent years, with the popularity of camellia in the international flower market, flower merchants around the world have developed many horticultural varieties in addition to the original species of camellia.

    These camellias raised by Lu Lingxi were given to him by Xue Yongtong, initially to exchange an evolved calla lily from him. He originally thought that it would be good to send the calla lilies directly to Xue Yongtong, but Xue Yongtong insisted on taking camellias in exchange, and specially told him that these camellias were not ordinary camellias, but a rare double-petal variant of camellias.

    Lu Lingxi couldn’t resist the meaning of the other party, and was interested in the mutated camellia, so he didn’t refuse. He had seen double camellias in the botanical book before. Generally speaking, most of the stamens of this kind of camellia are petaled, and the corresponding petals naturally increase, and the common number of petals is around 50 pieces. After the flowers bloom, the color may be red, purple, or ink, as gorgeous as brocade. But the camellia in front of me is actually an elegant light green after mutating, and the petals have reached more than 60 pieces. The large-petaled flowers are clustered together, in the shape of a graceful peony. Elegant.

    He just placed camellias here, and an old customer who lived nearby passed by and saw the camellias from outside the glass. His eyes lit up and he came in immediately.

    “Little boss, are you starting to grow camellias again?”

    The person asked and looked around the table. Residents who live nearby know that the little boss of micro gardening grows well. In addition to some flower varieties that are often sold in the store, occasionally the small boss will raise a few less common flowers. For example, this camellia is not an ordinary camellia at a glance. It is estimated that the little boss raised it on a whim. Look at this color, look at this plant type, it is completely a rare “beauty embryo”.

    The more people come to see it, the more they like it, and they think they are lucky. The little boss saw that he had just opened the door, and even the mist on the leaves had not dried out. This time, no one must have robbed him, but he walked around the neighborhood several times early in the morning.

    “Little boss, how do you sell this flower? We still have a few plants in our store, and I have them all.” The visitor was very proud.

    Lu Lingxi became a little embarrassed, “This flower already has an owner, and the remaining two are also given away.”

    He raised a total of three camellias, one for Zhang Lao, one for Grandpa Su, and the remaining one, Lu Lingxi, wanted to put at home to make Wang Shuxiu look happy.

    After Lu Lingxi finished speaking, the visitor suddenly looked regretful. He remembered that there was no camellia in the micro gardening store yesterday. Since the little boss said that it was a gift, it must be for someone close to him. As a result, it was not easy for him to ask the little boss to give him one, so he left the store reluctantly. The other party hadn’t gone far, and another customer saw this camellia from the glass window and came over. In the morning, no less than seven or eight customers came in for this camellia.

    Lu Lingxi didn’t expect this camellia to be so attractive. While apologizing to these customers, he also thought about introducing this variant of camellia from Xue Yongtong to enrich the variety of flowers in the store.

    He was thinking about this when Wang Shuxiu brought Xiao Hong’s family over with the lunch prepared for him. “Why did Mom come so early?” Lu Lingxi and Zhang Lao had an appointment at 2:00 pm, and it was not even 12:00 noon now.

    Wang Shuxiu handed the thermos bucket in her hand to Lu Lingxi, and said, “Isn’t it that you haven’t eaten yet? Anyway, you have to come in a while, come early to bring you food by the way.”

    Lu Lingxi remembered that Yi Hang said yesterday that Wang Shuxiu was worried that he was losing weight, and bent his eyes, “Have you eaten, mother and uncle?”

    “I’ve eaten it, little bastard, leave us alone, eat now while no one is there.”

    Wang Shuxiu circled around without seeing Yan Yue’s figure, and felt satisfied. She brought a heat preservation bucket on purpose today. If Yan Yue was there, she wouldn’t believe that the better she would be to grab food with Xiao Xi in front of her face. Of course, Yan Yue’s absence is the best. Wang Shuxiu agreed that it was the same thing for Yan Yue to be by Lu Lingxi’s side, but it was just out of sight and out of mind. When she saw the two of them together, she was still heartbroken.

    In addition to the lunch prepared for Lu Lingxi, Wang Shuxiu also brought a box of bones to Da Hei alone. She hadn’t seen Da Hei for a while, and looked at Da Hei very affectionately. Because of the great darkness, Xiao Hong deliberately kept Xiao Wanwan at home, just for fear that the two dogs would make trouble and affect the old doctor’s pulse.

    Xiao Hong is very grateful for Wang Shuxiu’s kindness. He also checked the news of Zhang Lao on the Internet. The other party’s qualifications are deeper than the experts they saw in Zhongjing, and he is a real master of traditional Chinese medicine. He originally wanted a child or not, but he was reluctant to let Xiaoman feel sad about the child. As long as he had the chance, he would accompany Xiaoman to try it.

    Several people waited in the micro gardening shop for a while. When it was almost two o’clock, Mr. Zhang came over by himself. After a few people greeted him, Mr. Zhang sat at the table with a smile, and greeted Zhou Xiaoman to sit across from him, so he would check his pulse first.

    Zhou Xiaoman sat down nervously, Zhang Lao put **** on her wrist, focused slightly, and asked her to switch to the other hand. After he was done, Mr. Zhang didn’t say anything, just asked Xiao Hong to come over and check his pulse. After completing the same procedure, Zhang Lao asked the two of them about their eating habits for a long time, looked at their faces, and finally said that Zhou Xiaoman was fine, but Xiao Hong had a small problem.

    “Really?”

    Xiao Hong and Zhou Xiaoman looked at each other and couldn’t believe it. The two just went to Zhongjing for a check-up not long ago. They said that the husband and wife are all right, but the fate of the child has not arrived. Why does Mr. Zhang say that Xiao Hong has a physical problem? However, on another thought, the previous doctor had never checked it out. Could this be the reason why their husband and wife had not had children for many years. Since Zhang Lao can see it at once, does it mean that Xiao Hong can be cured?

    Before Xiao Hong spoke, Zhou Xiaoman said eagerly, “Is it serious? Can it be cured?”

    Old Zhang smiled lovingly, “It’s not a big deal, I’ll give you a prescription, you can follow the prescription and finish a course of treatment, see the effect first.”

    When he said this, Zhou Xiaoman was relieved and nodded again and again, promising to urge Xiao Hong to take the medicine on time.

    After Zhang Lao finished the prescription, Zhou Xiaoman couldn’t sit still, thinking about getting the medicine. There is a pharmacy not far from this street, Wang Shuxiu simply accompanied Zhou Xiaoman to get the medicine first.

    As soon as they left, Zhang Lao, Xiao Hong, and Lu Lingxi were left in the store. Zhang Lao said to Xiao Hong lightly: “I lied to you just now, your body is actually fine, very good.”

    Xiao Hong&Lu Lingxi: “…”

    Lao Zhang explained with a smile: “I heard Xiaoxi say that you have seen a lot of doctors before you came to see me, and there has always been nothing wrong with the physical examination, but you can’t conceive a child for a long time?”

    Xiao Hong hesitantly nodded.

    Lao Zhang said: “Some couples are like this, and it is also related to your eating habits and the surrounding environment, and your wife is under too much pressure. I think she is depressed, I am afraid it is not two days a day. God’s problem. It will definitely affect the body for a long time, and it will also affect the inability to conceive. The main problem for you now is to relax your heart, especially your wife, so that it is easy to conceive. “

    After Mr. Zhang finished speaking, Xiao Hong immediately understood. Xiaoman has always been in a bad mood because of having a child. Even though she seems to think about it on the surface, she still subconsciously thinks that the lack of a child is her own reason. Xiao Hong also explained Zhou Xiaoman for this, but it is hard to say how much Zhou Xiaoman listened to. Now Zhang Lao puts the blame on him, Xiaoman knows that it’s not her fault, but it’s easier to untie the knot than the doctor said that the two of them are in good health. Xiaoman is in a good mood, maybe he can have a child. Even if he doesn’t have children, that’s the reason for Xiao Hong. At least Xiaoman doesn’t have to blame himself.

    Xiao Hong smiled gratefully, “Thank you, Mr. Zhang.”

    Elder Zhang waved his hand indifferently, “You don’t blame me for lying to you.”

    Although Mr. Zhang did this to understand Zhou Xiaoman’s knot, he also said that Xiao Hong may have been eating greasy recently and got angry. The recipe he prescribed was for fire, Xiao Hong had no problem drinking it for a while, and he also conditioned his body along the way.

    The three of them didn’t say a word, and Wang Shuxiu and the others came back with the medicine. Xiao Hong was afraid of affecting the business of Micro Gardening, so he did not stay in the store much. Before leaving, he had been thinking about how to thank Elder Zhang, and he also knew that Elder Zhang would tell him that on the one hand, it was the doctor’s kindness, and on the other hand, it was also for Xiaoxi’s face. To be honest, if he gave Zhang Lao money now, he would look down on Zhang Lao, but if he didn’t give anything, he would feel a little bit embarrassed.

    Xiao Hong was worried, Lu Lingxi held the light green camellia in front of Zhang Lao, and said with a sullen expression that he wanted to give this camellia to Zhang Lao. Xiao Hong’s eyes suddenly lit up, and he sighed in his heart that Xiaoxi thought carefully.

    Elder Zhang accepted the camellia with a smile. He knew Xiaoxi’s temperament. If he didn’t accept it, the child would definitely think about it. He and Xiaoxi are a little bit of a long-term friendship, and it is an elegant thing to say that the two of them will be friends with flowers.

    Xiao Hong and the others were sent away, and Mr. Zhang asked Lu Lingxi about going to Kunnan. He really wanted Lu Lingxi to go to the Orchid Show, not to mention gaining knowledge, he and a few old friends would rush over from all over China. These old friends of him are not simple, and it can be considered a bit of popularity to speak out one by one. Zhang Laozi thought to introduce Lu Lingxi to his old friends, and also to form a good relationship for the children.

    When Zhang Lao asked, Lu Lingxi nodded quickly. But… he hesitated, “Grandpa Zhang, I have a friend who plans to go with him. I might want to live with him.”

    Lao Zhang laughed, “I like the liveliness when there are lots of people. You don’t need to live separately, your grandfather Zhao has it all.”

    Lu Lingxi smiled embarrassedly, but did not agree immediately. He planned to discuss with Yan Yue about food and accommodation first.
