Pastoral Daily Life - Chapter 136
After being passed by Zhang Laohao that day, Xiao Hong began to drink bitter medicine every day.
Zhou Xiaoman was worried that he was in a bad mood, but took the initiative to comfort Xiao Hong, “If you don’t have children, you won’t have children. It’s also lively. In the future, if you live in Fengcheng, you don’t have to worry about getting old and lonely, you can have children or not.”
Xiao Hong’s face was not obvious after hearing her words, but he was really relieved. He has been thinking about what Zhang Lao said about Xiaoman’s depression these days. This matter can be big or small. It’s okay to think about it, but it will affect his body if he doesn’t think about it. Now no matter what Xiaoman thinks, the reasons for not having children are all on his head, and Xiaoman finally feels less self-blame.
After drinking traditional Chinese medicine for a week, Xiao Hong counted the time to go back to the northwest. This time, there are a lot of things going back, and Xiao Feng has to go back with him. Before leaving, Xiao Feng found an opportunity to chat with Yan Yue, and entrusted Yan Yue with the family and vegetable greenhouses. He wasn’t worried about what happened, but he was afraid that if something happened, he couldn’t come back in time, and there was someone who made up his mind.
As soon as they leave, it will soon be the end of February, Fengcheng ushered in the first spring rain since the beginning of spring.
When it rained, it was the evening, and the fine raindrops fluttered and fell, hooking and weaving into a huge net in the air, covering the entire Fengcheng. Because of the dark sky, all the shops on Weiyuan Street turned on their lights. The scattered lights came out from the glass windows along the street, strung the raindrops outside the house, and dyed the whole street with a strange color.
Lu Lingxi stood at the door of the micro garden and received a few drops of rain. The tentacles felt very cold, but there was not much coolness in the air, but a warm and moist atmosphere. He opened the panel, and what was displayed in front of him was a large white translucent area. On top of these transparent patterns, a layer of light inky blue water stains flows, representing the rain that gathers on the ground. Lu Lingxi remembered that the rain he saw was black at first, but now the black has gradually faded into dark blue. This means that the smog over Fengcheng is much less, and the rain is correspondingly much cleaner.
“Ouch.”
Da Hei, who had been squatting calmly at Lu Lingxi’s feet, turned on the white panel, looked sharply across the street, and let out a warning cry.
Lu Lingxi followed its warning and looked over. Across the street, a silver-gray husky squatted in front of the pet shop, eager to rush over. However, because of the darkness, the Husky tried to move forward a few times, but he didn’t dare to rush over.
“Ouch.”
The Husky wagged his tail sadly at Lu Lingxi, and Lu Lingxi couldn’t help laughing. He remembered that when Da Hei first came back, this husky was completely unafraid of the majesty of Da Hei, and often came to Lu Lingxi, and by the way, he was brave enough to tease Da Hei. After a few times, Da Hei couldn’t bear to teach it a lesson. This Huggies just remembered the power of Da Hei, and no longer dared to tease Da Hei.
Lu Lingxi guessed that the Husky might be so excited because he sensed the breath of the panel. He didn’t care, and continued to lower his head and nod on the white panel. As his fingers moved, the translucent area on the panel continued to expand. From the perspective of the scope of purification, the entire street of micro gardening is included, and the purified area is still infiltrating and extending towards the surrounding area. Seeing this, Lu Lingxi was a little happy. After half a year of hard work, about one-tenth of the entire Fengcheng area has been purified. These purified areas have become invisible circles, trying to include the entire Fengcheng.
He looked a little too absorbed, until Yan Yue stood in front of him and didn’t realize it.
“Xiaoxi.” Yan Yue threw his coat over Lu Lingxi’s body as he spoke, holding his hand and frowning slightly, “Why are your hands so cold?”
Lu Lingxi recovered and put away the panel, only to realize that he had been standing at the door for too long, and his clothes were faintly wet from the rain. He shook his head, “It’s okay, it’s actually not too cold.” Before Yan Yue could speak, Lu Lingxi quickly changed the subject, “Brother Yan, your work is done?”
Yan Yue reluctantly clenched Lu Lingxi’s hand and changed the subject in coordination. “It’s nothing to do with work, I’ll take you home.”
Lu Lingxi glanced at the time, and before she knew it, it was almost six o’clock. Xiao Feng is away these days, and he has to go back early every day to accompany Wang Shuxiu. “Wait for me to clean it up, it will be fine soon.” He said as he moved the few pots of flowers placed at the door back to the store, and Yan Yue rolled up his sleeves and cleaned up with him.
After cleaning the store, the two simply put away some odds and ends. Lu Lingxi turned off the lights, locked the store door, followed Yan Yue and trotted into the car.
Across the street, the husky looked at Lu Lingxi eagerly, and repeated “Ouch”.
Yan Yue opened the window, “What happened to that husky?”
“Maybe a little lonely.”
“It seems to have been at Dong Zhi’s place for almost a month.” Yan Yue said casually.
Lu Lingxi hummed, beckoned to the husky from the window, and explained to Yan Yue: “Its owner has gone abroad, and Brother Dong said that it will take three years to come back from Africa. It is convenient to take it out, so I will ask Brother Dong to find him a master.”
He said this, Da Hei suddenly leaned his head from behind the seat and looked at Lu Lingxi with a gentle gaze. Lu Lingxi smiled slightly, reached out and scratched Da Hei’s chin. He understood what Da Hei meant. Although the owner of this husky was in a special situation, it was still a kind of abandonment to the husky. Da Hei probably thought of himself before he acted like this.
Yan Yue also seemed to feel Dahei’s mood, freeing one hand to touch Dahei’s head. He thought about it and asked, “Does the other party have any requirements for the adopter?”
“Brother Yan?” Lu Lingxi was a little surprised.
Yan Yue chuckled, “Ye Kang has always wanted to raise a dog, he will come to Fengcheng in a few days, just to find something to do for him.”
“…Brother Ye.” Lu Lingxi pondered and thought that Ye Kang was quite reliable. At least Ye Kang is rich, so he shouldn’t abandon this husky again.
“I’ll ask Brother Dong tomorrow.”
“Good.”
Yan Yue thought of Ye Kang as an inadvertent idea, but thinking about it carefully, Ye Kang and Husky are also a good match. Ye Kang has been looking forward to taking the dog to go racing at night. In addition to the calm temperament of Da Hei, only the “lively” temperament of Husky is willing to cooperate with him.
Twenty minutes later, Yan Yue drove Lu Lingxi to the door. During this time, he picked up Lu Lingxi in the morning and evening, and from time to time he had to circle in front of Wang Shuxiu. Wang Shuxiu has been able to say hello to Yan Yue from the beginning of the default, and her attitude has become more and more softened.
“Brother Yan, I’ll go back first.” Lu Lingxi took out the key from his body and whispered to Yan Yue.
Yan Yue nodded with a smile, went out from Unit 3 and turned into Unit 2. Before he could open the door, Xiao Feng called. Yan Yue was a little surprised, thinking that Xiao Feng had something to do, and only when he picked up did he realize that Xiao Feng was looking for him for Lu Yishui.
This time Xiao Feng followed Xiao Hong back to the northwest, and the two spent half a month vigorously disposing of their respective properties. It’s time to change hands, it’s time to sell and sell, except for keeping two houses so that they can go back to worship their ancestors in the future, the rest are basically dealt with. The most troublesome among them is the coal mine owned by Xiao Hong. It’s not that no one is interested in this coal mine, but there are too many people who are interested, Xiao Hong had to screen for a long time.
Different from other industries, Xiao Hong has real feelings for this coal mine. He demanded that the party who took over must properly place the workers inside, especially to see prisoner Lu Yishui. Now that Wang Shuxiu is pregnant with a child, not to mention Xiao Feng, Xiao Hong can’t let Lu Yishui come back to torment Wang Shuxiu. In this way, the change of hands of the coal mine will not be transferred to whom the money is given.
In short, Xiao Feng called Yan Yue just to say that Lu Yishui had settled down and let Lu Yishui continue to dig coal in the northwest, and Xiao Feng did not want the salary he earned from digging coal. All of them were saved for Lu Yishui. When Lu Yishui gets old and can’t move anymore, he will use the money to give him the old age. After all, Lu Yishui was also Lu Lingxi’s biological father, so Xiao Feng had to look at Lu Lingxi’s face to save him a way out.
Yan Yue was noncommittal about Xiao Feng’s arrangement, as long as Lu Yishui did not appear in front of Lu Lingxi anyway.
Xiao Feng said to Yan Yue, and then to Wang Shuxiu. Wang Shuxiu is now at ease, and mentioning that Lu Yishui is not as disgusting as before. She sighed on the phone and said nothing. That’s fine, Lu Yishui also has a serious job, he keeps the money he earns, and he doesn’t have to drag Lu Lingxi down when he eats and drinks. Wang Shuxiu finally instructed Xiao Feng to hide this matter from Lu Lingxi first, lest the little **** feel uncomfortable. This is also what Yan Yue means.
Lu Lingxi didn’t know that her mother and Yan Yue unexpectedly agreed on the matter of Lu Yishui. After taking a bath for Da Hei, he habitually held Da Hei and read a book.
The rain outside the window has been pattering from afternoon to evening. Lu Lingxi read the book, and made another phone call with Yan Yue, and the rain hadn’t stopped when he was getting ready to go to bed. He lay by the window and watched for a while. Although the rain kept falling, there was no water in the courtyard of the community because of the low rainfall. The rainwater that falls on the ground quickly penetrates into the ground, is absorbed by the hibernating roots and stored.
After a good night’s sleep, Lu Lingxi didn’t feel when the rain stopped. He slept in a daze until seven o’clock, opened the curtains, and the morning light of spring shone into the room through the window, the golden light and shadow floated in the air, and the room was warm and very comfortable.
Lu Lingxi looked out the window unconsciously, widening his eyes suddenly. In front of Building No. 3, several willow trees planted in the community pulled out their green shoots overnight. The morning breeze blows, the graceful branches dance in the air, and the colors of spring dangle. He washed up quickly, opened the balcony door and ran out. On the ground in the backyard, tufts of grass emerged from the ground. The golden morning light, the clear dew, and the tender grass are intertwined, making people feel better for no reason.
Not only the backyard of the community, but Yan Yue took Lu Lingxi to the store in the morning. Looking over, the willow trees along the street were all sprouting. On both sides of the street, in the crevices of the stones, there is visible green everywhere, and occasionally there are pink flowers swaying in the wind. The whole city swept away the heaviness of winter, revealing a kind of fresh vitality.
