Pastoral Daily Life - Chapter 158
Because of the discovery of Copaiba gum tree, Lu Lingxi and his party stayed in Kunnan for half a month. By the time they finished watching the orchid exhibition and were preparing to return to Fengcheng, it was already the end of May and the beginning of June. In addition to the four people who came, there was also one more Wang Chaoliang and one old Min.
In the past two weeks, Wang Chaoliang has conducted repeated research and experiments on the “tree oil” found in the rainforest. He finally determined that the sap from the Copaiba gum tree, which Lu Lingxi called it, could completely replace the existence of diesel oil. It did not require any processing and was simple and convenient to produce. In addition, the sap does not contain sulfides, and burning will not form acid rain to pollute the atmosphere. And they are very safe, they won’t explode, and even if they leak, they won’t cause big damage to the ecology. More importantly, this tree can not only restore the ecological environment, but also uninterrupted oil production after planting, it is a rare renewable resource.
Wang Dynasty Liang sorted out the report and received the attention of the botanical garden before it was published. Before they left Kunnan, the Botanical Garden had redeployed people to the rainforest frontier workstation, intending to transplant a Copaiba gum tree to the Botanical Garden for further research.
These follow-up Lu Lingxi were handed over to Yan Yue and Wang Chaoliang, and now he is all thinking about going home. Before coming to Kunnan, Lu Lingxi was looking forward to the first time out to play, but after staying outside for a long time, he missed Wang Shuxiu and Da Hei more, and the familiar micro-gardening.
On the plane, Mr. Min sighed to Mr. Zhang in a low voice: “Originally, I came to Kunnan this time just to meet old friends, how can I expect such a big harvest. New energy, if Fengcheng plans to plan Well, gradually reduce the dependence on coal and steel, and the environment can be greatly changed after the economic structure is adjusted.”
Hearing Mr. Min’s sigh, Mr. Zhang laughed, the economic structure of Fengcheng needs to be adjusted, but the environment… He laughed: “Old man Min, you haven’t returned to Fengcheng for several years. Bar?”
Elder Min was not happy, “How many years, I haven’t come back for two years.”
“That’s it.” Mr. Zhang thought about the changes in Fengcheng this year, and said with a smile: “Then you can take a good look at it later, the environment of Fengcheng is not what you think. That’s it.”
“What?”
Elder Zhang smiled and stopped talking, deliberately trying to make a fool of himself.
Old Min glared at him angrily, but his appetite was hanged.
In other words, after taking a nap, Fengcheng arrived. Min Laochu didn’t feel anything when he got off the plane, and when he left the airport hall, he was stunned. As far as I can see, except for the parking lot in the middle and the clearly planned traffic lanes around, all other places are covered with green grass, like a carpet covering the entire periphery of the airport. He glanced at the glass outer wall behind him, the surrounding street lamp posts, the railings responsible for the take-off and landing of vehicles…Everywhere he could see, it was covered with green vines, with small purple flowers, the breeze blowing, and the fragrance of the flowers was overwhelming. .
“What’s going on?” Old Min looked at everyone in surprise.
Old Zhang was also a little surprised, the surrounding environment was obviously different from before he left. But he quickly reacted and said proudly: “That’s what you saw. How is it? Isn’t it worse than Kunnan?”
Old Min was a little incredulous, so he deliberately looked up at the top of his head. The blue sky was clear and clear, and the white clouds drifted past. It turned out to be a rare sunny day in Fengcheng in his impression.
Before Old Min finished wondering, An Jie had already driven the car in front of them. Yan Yue had mentioned to Mr. Zhang beforehand that he would arrange someone to pick him up. When the time comes, I will send Mr. Zhang back first, and he and Xiaoxi will return last. Sitting in the car, Elder Min was still thinking about the changes in Fengcheng. At first he thought that everything he saw was the arrangement of the airport staff, but when he got out of the airport, he realized that not only the inside of the airport, but the entire Fengcheng seemed to be different from what he remembered.
In my impression, there are all kinds of small machining factories along the road from the airport to the city. In the past, every time he passed this section, what he saw when he looked up was the haze, and what he smelled was the pungent smell of tar. There is a car passing by on the road, and it is full of dust. The whole section of the road cannot be opened at all, otherwise the car will have to be washed. But it has only been two years, not to mention the smog has disappeared, and all kinds of green plants have grown on both sides of the road. Through the green plants, you can still see the mechanical processing factory inside, but the iron gate in the past has become a sea of vines, full of purple flowers he saw at the airport.
Yan Yue opened the car window, and the road was clean without a trace of dust. The faint fragrance of flowers floated in, making people feel calm for no reason. Old Min had an illusion that the entire Fengcheng seemed to be enveloped in the fragrance of green flowers, and the more he went to the city, the more obvious this feeling became.
He was surprised all the way, and everyone smiled when they saw it.
Yan Yue asked Lu Lingxi in a low voice while no one was paying attention, “The scope of soil purification is already so large?”
Lu Lingxi nodded and said in a low voice, “The climate is getting warmer, it seems that the soil purification speed is faster than in winter, and now there are green plants everywhere, the purification speed will be accelerated accordingly. “
In fact, when they left Fengcheng at the end of April, the surrounding environment had not changed so much. When the spring flowers bloom in May, it is originally the season for plant growth. With the effect of purifying the soil, the green plants in Fengcheng are like a collective growth accelerator.
Half an hour later, An Jie parked his car at the gate of the community where Mr. Zhang lived. Today happened to be Saturday, and a lot of people gathered at the gate of the community. It seemed that the owners of the property were organizing the community to weed collectively. Mr. Min had seen many similar scenes along the way, and he was too lazy to be surprised. “How do you deal with these grasses?” Elder Min asked casually.
Old Zhang said with a smile: “When it is delivered to the cattle farm in the western suburbs, a car will come to collect it. A cart of grass only sells for ten yuan, which is much cheaper than buying feed for them.”
Old Min: “…”
The three got out of the car here, and after a while, Lu Lingxi saw the outer wall of the community through the car window. Just like what they saw in the urban area, the outer wall of the community was full of purple flowers, and there were long vines from the outer wall to the nearest building, forming a purple flower gallery at the door. Lu Lingxi has heard Wang Shuxiu talk about this on the phone. This flower gallery seems to have become a famous “spot” nearby, and many married people go to the gate of the community to take wedding photos. The flower gallery serves as the background. Wang Shuxiu and Xiao Feng also took a few pictures in fashion. It is said that when Lu Lingxi comes back, they will drag him along to take a family photo.
Lu Lingxi turned back after reading the flower gallery and listened to Yan Yue say: “Go home and take a bath and sleep first, I’ll see you at night.”
Because she didn’t know Wang Shuxiu’s attitude towards him yet, Yan Yue worried that she would not see Lu Lingxi when she came back, so she quickly ordered. Although Wang Shuxiu seemed to agree before leaving, Yan Yue couldn’t help but beat the drums in her heart.
Lu Lingxi nodded earnestly and reminded in a low voice, “Don’t forget the gift you bought for your mother when you come over.”
Yan Yue laughed lightly, lowered her head and kissed Lu Lingxi on the face, “I know.”
Lu Lingxi was a little embarrassed when An Jie saw it, she pushed Yan Yue away and was about to say something when a dog barked outside the car, and Da Hei had already run out of the corridor excitedly, with two front paws slammed on the car window. Behind Da Hei, Xiao Wanwan also followed his example to the car window.
“Da Hei, Xiao Wan.”
Lu Lingxi was so happy that she pushed open the door and got out of the car, hugging Da Hei tightly and refusing to let go. Xiao Wanyuan rubbed over excitedly, his round body squeezed hard, trying to squeeze into Lu Lingxi’s arms like a big black. Lu Lingxi was amused by Xiao Wanyuan’s actions, and stretched out his arms to embrace him as well. “I miss you, Da Hei.” He looked at Da Hei and whispered.
The corners of Lu Lingxi’s mouth curled up, “I know.”
He and Da Hei reunited after a long absence and seemed to have endless things to say. Wang Shuxiu heard the movement and came out and gave Lu Lingxi an angry look, “I won’t go home when I get to the door.”
“Mom.” Lu Lingxi leaned over and took Wang Shuxiu’s arm to please. Wang Shuxiu laughed. She took Lu Lingxi and turned around and was about to go back to the house. After thinking of something, she turned around and said, “Yan Yue, come with him, Xiaoxi and his uncle are also there, and the family will have a meal together.”
Yan Yue: “…”
Happiness came so suddenly, Rao Shi Yan Yue was stunned for a moment. Lu Lingxi reacted directly and immediately looked at Wang Shuxiu. Wang Shuxiu slapped him casually, “I don’t know your mother anymore.”
Lu Lingxi hurriedly shook his head and smiled with his eyes bent.
Yan Yue was about to follow, thinking that An Jie was still there, and An Jie was ready to leave. He waved his hand with Yan Yue through the car window, and said in a low voice, “Come on, boss, I’ll go first, remember to make the red envelope a little thicker at the end of the year.”
Yan Yue: “…”
As Wang Shuxiu said, this meal was the first time for Yan Yue to eat as Lu Lingxi’s family. Seeing him come in, everyone’s reaction was normal. Yan Yue breathed a sigh of relief, which meant that Xiaoxi’s family accepted his existence.
“Go wash your hands and prepare to eat.” Wang Shuxiu urged.
Lu Lingxi went to wash her hands obediently, and called Yan Yue to come along. The two were huddled in the small bathroom, Lu Lingxi rubbed the hand sanitizer and wiped it on Yan Yue’s hand, Yan Yue watched as the corners of his lips slowly curved. Lu Lingxi washed his hands, and while Yan Yue was washing his hands, he stood up and kissed him, Yan Yue’s eyes lit up, as if a flame was ignited. He was about to kiss back when Wang Shuxiu coughed at the door. Lu Lingxi’s body froze suddenly, the tips of her ears turned red when Wang Shuxiu saw him kiss Yanyue just now. Yan Yue laughed silently.
The two of them washed their hands and immediately followed to eat. Lu Lingxi talked about the interesting stories of Kunnan and his party, focusing on the Copaiba gum tree. Yan Yue added a few words occasionally, and the two cooperated very well. Xiao Hong was very interested in hearing about the trees that could produce oil. He just finished all the affairs of his hometown in the northwest, and he has nothing to do in his spare time. It seems that planting trees is also a good way out. Of course, this matter also depends on what Lu Lingxi and Yan Yue mean, and Xiao Hong also has such an idea.
He mentioned it here, Yan Yue and Lu Lingxi looked at each other and readily agreed. It happened that there were more and more micro-gardening things, and he and Xiaoxi couldn’t be busy at all. With Xiao Hong’s help, he can relax a little.
“Okay.” Xiao Hong patted Yan Yue’s shoulder vigorously and said with a smile, “We will plant trees well in the future, regardless of whether we can make money or not, it is to improve the environment.” Xiao Hong I feel that his mining in the past was more or less damaging to the environment, but now planting trees can be considered to make up for it, so please feel at ease.
Xiao Hong patted so hard, Yan Yue calmly carried it down. Although Xiao Hong looked really happy, it was hard to guarantee that it was not intentional. Maybe it’s just to give Xiao Feng a slap in the face. He acted as if nothing had happened, a strange flash flashed in Xiao Hong’s eyes, and Xiao Feng smiled helplessly when he saw it.
The family finished the meal happily. Zhou Xiaoman and Xiao Hong took the initiative to clean up the tableware. Lu Lingxi wanted to help, but Wang Shuxiu stopped him, “Xiao Xi, your father and I have something to tell you.”
Yan Yue knew what Wang Shuxiu was going to say as soon as he heard it, he looked at Lu Lingxi worriedly, and sat beside Lu Lingxi without moving. Although he felt that Wang Shuxiu didn’t necessarily want him to be present at this time, he knew more than Wang Shuxiu, and he knew that what Wang Shuxiu wanted to say was not just a simple matter of life experience for Lu Lingxi, I’m afraid…
Yan Yue stretched out his hand to hold Lu Lingxi under the cover of the dining table, Lu Lingxi faintly felt that something was wrong, he looked at Wang Shuxiu and Yan Yue, and whispered, “What’s wrong?”
Wang Shuxiu saw Yan Yue’s small movements in her eyes, but didn’t stop her, she just calmed down and said slowly: “Lu Yishui… A relative from your father’s side has come over and wants you to recognize your ancestors. Return to the ancestry. Of course, your mother and I will definitely disagree.”
She said it directly and made her attitude clear. Xiao Feng looked at her helplessly.
Yan Yue didn’t expect Wang Shuxiu to be so straightforward, rather surprised, but Lu Lingxi didn’t feel anything, just asked subconsciously, “Who is it?”
Wang Shuxiu said reluctantly, “Lu Hengchuan, a member of the Zhongjing Lu Group, is your grandfather.”
Simple words fell into my ears, but it was like a thunderbolt from the clear sky, and Lu Lingxi’s face instantly turned white.
