Pastoral Daily Life

Wang Shuxiu didn't take Lu Lingxi's work to support her. She also hoped that Lu Lingxi would go back to school.She has struggled in the society for many years, and has suffered a lot of grievances because of her lack of culture, so she hopes that Lu Lingxi will not follow the old path of her and Lu Yishui.Lu Lingxi doesn't feel it now when she is young, but when she gets old, she will know the suffering of being uneducated.

After simply putting away the things, Wang Shuxiu started to cook.Although Brother Feng and his gang moved away the refrigerator, the other kitchen utensils were basically left alone.Wang Shuxiu rummaged and looked, there were still some vegetables and meat left, enough for her and Lu Lingxi to eat two meals.

"Are you hungry? I'll cook right away, you go back to the room and lie down for a while." Wang Shuxiu worried that Lu Lingxi had just been discharged from the hospital, and her body couldn't take it after all the tossing, so she drove him to rest.

Lu Lingxi was fine, but he wanted to stay and help, but he had never been in the kitchen since he was a child, knowing that staying would be in the way, so Lu Lingxi obediently withdrew and continued to tidy up the house.

This house is not big, it is a small family with two bedrooms.Because it is an old house type, the two bedrooms are quite large, but the living room is compressed to a small size.And because the two bedrooms are facing south, the north-south is transparent, and the living room, which is squeezed in the middle, has no windows and looks a little dark.

Wang Shuxiu had already tidied up briefly before, except for the lack of home appliances, the house was actually not very messy, and Lu Lingxi focused on his "own" house.The original owner of this body seemed to be an avid heavy metal fan, and the whole room was decorated in a very dark and gloomy style.The walls were covered with various weird posters that Lu Lingxi didn't recognize, and the clothes in the closet were the same as what Yi Hang and the others wore last time, either full of skeletons or tattered.

Before eating, Lu Lingxi tore off all the posters on the wall, packed and sealed the original owner's CDs, and divided the clothes in the closet into two piles according to what he could wear and what he couldn't wear.Lu Lingxi didn't intend to throw away these things from the original owner, but wanted to keep them as a souvenir.He knew that this kind of thinking was ridiculous, but he always felt that he occupied the original owner's body, even if the people around were used to his appearance and forgot what the original owner was like, he shouldn't forget.

When Wang Shuxiu called him to eat, Lu Lingxi had already packed everything.The whole room was clean and tidy, and he packed up the extra things and piled them in the corner.The mother and son's lunch was very simple. Wang Shuxiu fried a fried pork with garlic sprouts, fried a tomato and an egg, and served it with steamed soft glutinous rice. Although it didn't look rich, it aroused Lu Lingxi's appetite.

After eating two bowls in a row, Lu Lingxi stopped.Wang Shuxiu kept holding meat for him and told him, "Eat more." Seeing that Lu Lingxi had almost eaten, Wang Shuxiu mentioned what Sister Tian said before. "Mom will leave some money for you. You go to sleep first in the afternoon. When you wake up, go to Yihang and ask him to take you outside. If there is a bookstore, buy a few high school books, and we will enroll in a study class in a few days , Make up for the past, don’t know anything when the school starts.” Wang Shuxiu made a final decision, apparently already decided on this matter.

Lu Lingxi was silent for a few seconds, then said, "I don't want to go to school, I want to go out to work."

"Little bastard, you still want to turn the world upside down!" Wang Shuxiu slapped her chopsticks, her brows stood upright, "I have the final say on this matter."

She showed enough momentum, but Lu Lingxi still refused to let go, "I don't want to go to school, I want to work."

"Little bastard, you..." Wang Shuxiu habitually wanted to slap Lu Lingxi on the head, but she met Lu Lingxi's eyes after slapping her for a long time. "There is no need to discuss this matter, we must go to school." Wang Shuxiu said bitterly.

Lu Lingxi didn't speak any more, but his expression showed his persistence.

Wang Shuxiu couldn't figure it out, why Lu Lingxi had lost her memory and couldn't remember anything, and she still rejected the school so much.Sending Lu Lingxi to take a nap, Wang Shuxiu put away the bowls and chopsticks, and sat alone in the room to count her savings.

Wang Shuxiu and Lu Yishui have not saved much money at all for so many years.Although her salary is quite high, Lu Yishui is lazy and addicted to gambling, plus Lu Lingxi used to spend a lot of money, all her money was spent on father and son.This time Lu Lingxi had an accident and spent a lot of money. The money was originally saved for Lu Lingxi's future marriage, and it was almost enough to spend once in the hospital.There is still a little left, and Wang Shuxiu plans to give it all to Sister Tian, ​​but she doesn't know if it will be enough.Although Sister Tian only said that Brother Li knows people and can help run around the school without mentioning money, but finding someone to do things these days doesn't cost money.The school is not run by Sister Tian and her family, and Sister Tian has to find favors when she finds someone.Sister Tian had good intentions, but Wang Shuxiu couldn't put on a big face and really didn't spend a penny.

After all the calculations, she was still short of money, so Wang Shuxiu patted the bed bitterly, blaming that old bastard.Thinking of Lu Yishui owed a sum of money outside, Wang Shuxiu became very angry.If he hadn't been addicted to gambling and lost money all the time, no matter where she hid the money, he would be able to find it and steal it. She wouldn't even be unable to get Lu Lingxi's school money.

It's not that Wang Shuxiu hasn't thought about divorcing Lu Yishui these years and leaving this mess.But every time she mentioned it, Lu Yishui would push Lu Lingxi to make a fuss.Don't look at Lu Lingxi's usual look of contempt for Lu Yishui, when it comes to divorce, he is definitely on Lu Yishui's side.After a few times, Wang Shuxiu stopped mentioning it.She has only such a son, and she will bear it for Lu Lingxi.

This time... Wang Shuxiu sighed, let's talk about Lu Lingxi's tone in a few days.Anyway, no matter whether she leaves or not, she will not pay a penny for Lu Yishui.Thinking of this, Wang Shuxiu quickly found out the real estate certificate of the house.Last time she forced Lu Yishui to change the name of the house to Lu Lingxi's, just because she was afraid that Lu Yishui would get angry and attack the house.Later, she also told Lu Lingxi a few words, don't be tricked by that old bastard Lu Yishui to sell the house.

Across a wall, Lu Lingxi couldn't sleep and was thinking about Lu Yishui.He couldn't understand why Wang Shuxiu didn't get a divorce?Including the time in the hospital before, although he only met Lu Yishui twice, he had a very bad impression of Lu Yishui.Gambling, beating his wife, any of these are unacceptable to Lu Lingxi's upbringing.Lu Yishui has both, so why doesn't Wang Shuxiu leave him?According to Lu Lingxi's understanding, all people who are tainted with gambling will end up bankrupt.Is it because Wang Shuxiu and Lu Yishui have a good relationship?Lu Lingxi couldn't figure it out.Turning over, he thought of the money Lu Yishui owed again.How will Lu Yishui pay it back?Will Wang Shuxiu pay him back?

Thinking about these questions randomly, Lu Lingxi fell asleep vaguely.When he woke up, Wang Shuxiu was about to pack up and go out.

"So early?" Lu Lingxi was surprised.

"I have something to go to your Aunt Lin's house. Oh, you don't remember who your Aunt Lin is. I will have dinner with your Aunt Lin in a few days." The Aunt Lin that Wang Shuxiu said was her colleague Lin Mei who worked with her. , These days, she has been a substitute for her.Wang Shuxiu thought about where to hide the house book all afternoon, but she didn't think it was particularly safe.After much deliberation, he simply told Lin Mei to leave the house book at their house for a few days.

After leaving the key and money for Lu Lingxi, Wang Shuxiu said "Yi Hang will come later" and hurried away.Lu Lingxi put away the keys, found the tomato seeds that were rewarded for the panel upgrade last time, and went to the small garden outside the balcony.

It is said that the small garden is actually a small open space brought by the residents on the first floor, surrounded by a fence outside, and other people cannot enter.Wang Shuxiu didn't have the time to take care of these things before, the small garden was overgrown with weeds and looked messy.When Lu Lingxi was in the hospital, he still thought about where to plant these tomatoes after he was discharged from the hospital, and this small open space was prepared for him.

When Yi Hang came over in the afternoon, he saw Lu Lingxi squatting on the ground under the scorching sun and pulling weeds little by little.He had already cleared half of the small space in their backyard.Through the fence, Yi Hang called out to Lu Lingxi, "Sir, what are you doing?"

Seeing Yi Hang, Lu Lingxi patted the dirt on his hands and walked over. "I want to grow some tomatoes here."

Yi Hang: "..."

Speaking of it, he really didn't understand.A person with amnesia can change so much.It's okay that Lu Lingxi's personality has changed, but her hobbies have also changed, and she likes farming.Yi Hang watched with a headache as Lu Lingxi pulled out half of the grass, didn't bother to go around to the front, and directly climbed over the fence and turned over.

"Hurry up, I'm done with you, and your mother asked me to take you to the street."

The two worked together, and it took half an hour to clean up the remaining weeds.Yi Hang wiped his sweat, and urged Lu Lingxi to change clothes and go out.

Lu Lingxi looked at him hesitantly, "Are you going out like this?"

Yi Hang was puzzled: "What's wrong?"

Lu Lingxi hesitated for a few seconds, then said in a low voice, "Don't you think it's strange?"

Yi Hang's outfit was similar to that when he went to see Lu Lingxi in the hospital that day, with a big black skull T-shirt, ripped jeans, and colorful hair on his face, just like the person on the poster that Lu Lingxi had packed up before walking out.

Yi Hang's eyes fell on Lu Lingxi's light blue T-shirt and white shorts. Thinking about the image of the two walking together, it's like a gangster kidnapping a good student. It really doesn't match well.He scratched his hair helplessly, took a shower at Lu Lingxi's house, casually put on a pink T-shirt that Wang Shuxiu bought for Lu Lingxi at some point, and wore the jeans he had before, with a clean face. He looked at Lu Lingxi bitterly.

"Is that all right?"

Lu Lingxi nodded.

When the two went out, the neighbors around took a look.They met Lu Lingxi in the morning, who is the young man next to Lu Lingxi?

Yi Hang's father was playing poker in a small shed outside the community. When he looked up and saw Yi Hang, he was so surprised that he forgot to play all the cards in his hand.

"Old horse, look quickly, is that my little boy?"

The old horse glanced nonchalantly, "Isn't that the son of Wang Xiaohua's family? Are you delusional?"

Yi Hang's father looked at it again and again, a little suspicious that he was really delusional.

Yi Hang took Lu Lingxi to the side of the road waiting for the bus, pulled his clothes uncomfortably, and asked, "Where do you want to go?"

"Bookstore, I want to buy a book."

"Isn't it?" Yi Hang exaggeratedly called out, "What your mother said is true, third child, you really want to go back to freshman year of high school, you're too old."

Lu Lingxi was amused by his reaction and laughed, "No, I'm going to buy a book on how to grow tomatoes. I also think it's a bit too old to go back to school and want to find a job."

"Work?" Yi Hang became interested, and looked at Lu Lingxi with a strange smile, "I know that there is a job that is suitable for you now. Do you remember my cousin? She is the cousin who studied gardening. She couldn't find it after graduation. Worker opened her own gardening shop. She is pregnant now, and she is looking for someone to help her look after the shop. I think you have the energy to pull weeds in the afternoon, so it’s absolutely fine to show her the shop.”

"Are you serious?" Lu Lingxi said seriously.

"Fuck! Third, you are serious!" Yi Hang blinked, completely speechless.Could it be that Lu Lingxi couldn't hear that he was teasing him.Doesn't it feel boring for a big man to play with flowers and plants every day?

Lu Lingxi nodded, of course he was serious.

Yi Hang: "..."

Ten minutes later, Yi Hang couldn't bear Lu Lingxi's insistence, and took him to the gardening shop run by his cousin.Yi Hang's cousin is Du Lin, a very cheerful girl.Her shop is not big, about ten square meters, and the name of the shop is Wei Gardening.

As soon as Lu Lingxi entered the store, her mood improved for no reason.Although Du Lin's shop is small, it is neatly organized inside.There are several shelves on the wall at different heights, filled with lush green plants of various colors.In the center of the store is a round booth, several pots of camellias and begonias are blooming, the bowl-sized flowers are rich in color, dotted in the center of the emerald green leaves, very eye-catching.On the left side of the wall are all kinds of flowers that are in bloom, and it can be said that a hundred flowers are in full bloom.

"Welcome, you need..." Du Lin was stunned in the middle of greeting.

Yi Hang burst out laughing, "Cousin."

"Yi Hang." Du Lin looked at Lu Lingxi hesitantly, and said hesitantly, "Lu Lingxi?"

Lu Lingxi nodded.Du Lin couldn't believe her eyes, "So you looked like this after you washed your face." She couldn't help joking, "I would have gotten married later if I had known."

Lu Lingxi: "..."

Du Lin laughed, and greeted the two of them to sit down on the rattan chair as soon as they entered the store. "Why are you here, what's the matter?"

Yi Hang poked Lu Lingxi and motioned: "The third child wants to find a job, cousin, aren't you recruiting?"

After listening to Yi Hang's words, Du Lin looked at Lu Lingxi carefully.To be honest, she had met Lu Lingxi several times before, and her impression of Lu Lingxi was very general.The main reason is that Lu Lingxi and the others are too non-mainstream, and Du Lin really can't stand their aesthetic appearance.This meeting, Lu Lingxi gave her a completely different feeling from before.how to say?Lu Lingxi in front of her made her feel very comfortable, not because Lu Lingxi was good-looking, but because Lu Lingxi had a kind of temperament that made people feel peaceful.

But these can only prove that Lu Lingxi is easy to be liked by others, and it does not mean that he is qualified for the job.Although micro gardening is small, it is Du Lin's painstaking effort.Every plant and flower in it was cultivated by Du Lin herself.Not to mention that she has worked hard to gain a firm foothold in this street, and she is a little famous, but only said that she likes these flowers and plants, and she doesn't want to find someone who doesn't understand to spoil them.

Although Lu Lingxi has no social experience, she also knows that this is not the way to find a job.He thought for a while and said seriously: "Sister Du Lin, I like this job very much. You can test me to see if I can meet the requirements of this job."

Du Lin thought about it again, that's okay.She motioned Lu Lingxi to look towards the corner, "Do you know that potted flower? Can you see what's wrong with it?"

Lu Lingxi followed Du Lin's line of sight. In the small white porcelain pot in the corner, more than a dozen small flowers with strange shapes gathered together. The yellow corolla was in the shape of a slipper, a bit like an ancient purse.There are small red spots all over the corolla, which is very fresh and interesting, but it looks not very energetic and a little sluggish.

Lu Lingxi had never seen this kind of flower before, and he performed a mental scan almost immediately.

Botanical name: Calpeaceae

Plant Needs: Root Rot

Plant viability: medium

Lu Lingxi glanced at Du Lin with a guilty conscience, and said softly, "Is it cattail flower?"

Du Lin was slightly taken aback, she didn't expect Lu Lingxi to know her.The origin of cattail flowers is Mexico and Peru, and it has not been cultivated in Huaguo for a long time, that is, it has only been seen in the market in recent years.Du Lin also wanted to plant a cattail flower because the flower language of cattail flower is wealth.

"Can you see what's wrong?" Du Lin asked.

Lu Lingxi walked up to the cattail flower, touched the soil of the flower pot, looked around carefully, and said hesitantly, "Maybe it's because I watered too much, and the root system is a bit rotten."

A hint of surprise flashed in Du Lin's eyes, and she deliberately asked, "Are you sure?"

Lu Lingxi glanced at the white panel and nodded.

Du Lin laughed, "Okay, it's over, when will you be able to go to work?"

As Du Lin's voice fell, Lu Lingxi's tense mood finally relaxed.Yi Hang stared at Lu Lingxi dumbfounded, "Third brother can do it, I didn't even know you understood this."

Lu Lingxi smiled guiltyly, thinking about going to the bookstore to buy a few more books.Du Lin was about to ask Lu Lingxi to sign a contract when a customer hurried in at the door, "Boss, take a look at my flowers."
