Pastoral Daily Life

Chapter 24 Thoughts

"Brother Yan?" Lu Lingxi smiled at Yan Yue when he saw him coming in, and his eyes fell on the geranium in Yan Yue's hand. "Is there anything wrong with this geranium?"

Since Yan Yue bought this pot of geraniums from Weiyuanyi three days ago, he has appeared in front of Lu Lingxi with the geraniums in his arms from time to time.

"How often does this geranium need watering?"

"Should I put it by the bedside or by the window at night?"

"I watered a little too much last night. The geranium's roots won't rot, right?"

Lu Lingxi didn't think anything else, and only regarded Yan Yue as a new gardening enthusiast.He sometimes met customers like Yan Yue in the store, because he just started growing flowers, so he inevitably cared too much.There are also customers who even record the number of leaves dropped by the flowers in a day, and nervously go to the store to ask if there is something wrong with the flowers.Lu Lingxi is also a novice in growing flowers. His only advantage is the white panel.In order not to show his timidity, during this period of time, he has made up a lot of relevant knowledge. The process of explaining customers' doubts is actually a process of consolidating his review.

The first time Lu Lingxi saw Yan Yue coming in, the first thing Lu Lingxi saw was the geranium in Yan Yue's hand.Accustomed to Yan Yue's nervousness about it, Lu Lingxi didn't need to ask to know that it must be about geraniums again.He looked at Yan Yue and couldn't help thinking that the other party must be a gentle person.Yan Yue would rescue Dahei who was injured on a rainy night, would be nervous about a pot of geraniums he had just planted, and would give money to Lu Yishui, whom he had never met before. Although he looked cold on the outside, he was not what he showed inside.

Lu Lingxi looked at Geranium, but Yan Yue's eyes fell on his face.Yan Yue didn't answer Lu Lingxi's question immediately.Normally, no matter what Lu Lingxi said to him, he would seriously respond to it. As long as he could get close to the boy with an excuse, repeating these seemingly stupid questions would not be any obstacle to him at all.But today is different, realizing that the young man has something on his mind, Yan Yue can't calm down.He looked at the boy's smiling face, and couldn't help but wonder what the boy was thinking before he came?Have you encountered any problems?Or about Lu Yishui?Is the smile on the young man's face really happy?

Yan Yue thought too much, his face sank unconsciously.Lu Lingxi looked up at him and blinked puzzledly.

Noticing Lu Lingxi's gaze, Yan Yue came back to his senses and said casually: "Didn't sleep well last night? See if you are very energetic?"

Although he really wanted to ask the young man directly if he had something on his mind, he was worried that the young man would find it strange if he asked directly, so he had to mention it on the sidelines.

Lu Lingxi froze for a moment, then rolled her eyes and shook her head, "It's okay."

He blocked the possibility of Yan Yue's further questioning with one sentence, Yan Yue's eyes darkened, his heart scratched even more, he just wanted to know what happened to Lu Lingxi.

Lu Lingxi didn't know what Yan Yue was thinking, so she focused on the geranium again.He lowered his head and looked at the geranium leaves earnestly. Yan Yue stood beside him, staring at the boy's fair neck with burning eyes, and finally couldn't help asking, "Did you encounter any problems?"

Lu Lingxi glanced at Yan Yue in surprise, but still shook her head to express that she was fine.I don't know why he has a feeling, as if he wants to say that he is short of money, Yan Yue will definitely lend it to him.But it was precisely because of this that he was unwilling to mention the matter of micro gardening in front of Yan Yue.He already owes Yan Yue [-] yuan, and he can't just rely on Yan Yue's money just because Yan Yue is a good person.

Lu Lingxi refused to say anything, Yan Yue was a little anxious, but he couldn't show it yet, and almost suffered internal injuries in his heart.Until he left, he didn't ask what problem the boy encountered.

Sitting back in the car, Yan Yue's expression sank, a little ugly.He was not angry with Lu Lingxi, but realized that Lu Lingxi still treated him like a stranger, and at least he was just a familiar stranger in Lu Lingxi's eyes.The teenager didn't classify him as a person who could talk about his thoughts, and this cognition made him a little frustrated.

Yan Yue tapped the steering wheel habitually and made a phone call.Last time when investigating Lu Yishui, Ye Kang's third brother, Ye Cheng, heard that Yan Yue was in Fengcheng, so he specially left a phone number for him, and asked him to give him direct instructions if he had anything to do.Seeing Yan Yue grow up, Ye Cheng sympathized with his situation and always treated him like a younger brother.In the past, Yan Yue had been abroad and refused to return to China, and Ye Cheng himself was busy fighting for his future, so the two of them didn't have much contact.Now that Yan Yue has returned to China, Ye Cheng is willing to help Yan Yue wherever he can.

Yan Yue hung up the phone and lowered his eyes. He knew that this kind of behavior was inappropriate, and the boy would be angry if he found out.But thinking of the boy's preoccupation, he couldn't control his behavior. He just wanted to know what happened to the boy?

By the time Lu Lingxi got off work, she had already figured out the micro gardening.Du Lin has good intentions, and he also likes micro-gardening, but for him now, it is unrealistic to spend 20 yuan all at once.He didn't want to touch Wang Shuxiu's savings, he hoped that she could keep some money for her, and he didn't want Wang Shuxiu to go out and borrow money humbly for him.Anyway, he is still young, if Du Lin transfers the gardening shop to someone else, he can keep it and do it well.If he can't stay, he will find another related job, work hard for a few years to save some money, and try to open his own gardening shop.Besides, he still has a white panel, as long as he works hard, it will definitely not be bad in the future.

Lu Lingxi took Dahei and ran all the way home, Wang Shuxiu just had a rest and didn't go out, so it was rare for mother and son to get together for dinner.

"Go, wash your hands quickly."

Wang Shuxiu counted the time and waited for Lu Lingxi to arrive home before cooking.At this time, the eggs and tomatoes she scrambled have just come out of the pan, and a sweet and sour aroma can be smelled from a long distance.The tomatoes in this dish are picked by Wang Shuxiu from the backyard.Originally, Lu Lingxi said that she wanted to grow tomatoes, but she only thought that Lu Lingxi was playing around, but she didn't expect that the little bastard would actually grow them, and the taste was quite good.In just a few days, Wang Shuxiu watched the tomatoes in the backyard grow from the size of a thumb to the size of two fists.

Hearing Wang Shuxiu's order, Lu Lingxi obediently agreed.He squatted on the ground and wiped Dahei's paws first, then went to wash his hands and helped Wang Shuxiu set the bowl.

The dinner for the mother and son was not complicated. Wang Shuxiu scrambled an egg and tomato, bought half a roast chicken, mixed a cold dish, and cooked some white porridge.A simple home-cooked meal, but made by Wang Shuxiu makes people mouth watering.Especially her scrambled eggs and tomatoes are very sweet and sour.Lu Lingxi drank three bowls of porridge with the tomatoes in one go.

"The tomatoes grown in the backyard are really good. Next time you meet someone who gave you seeds, remember to thank them."

While serving porridge for Lu Lingxi, Wang Shuxiu mentioned something.She saw that the tomatoes were almost red that day, so she washed one and ate it.Unexpectedly, tomatoes tasted sandy and sweet, juicy and refreshing in the mouth. After eating, I couldn't help but eat another one. The taste of tomatoes remained in my mouth until I went to work.Later, as long as she was at home, she would wash and eat tomatoes when she had nothing to do, and even cook with all kinds of tomatoes.

Yesterday when she went to work, she deliberately picked a few tomatoes to eat at night, but when she took them out, she was robbed of them all.After eating, colleagues asked Wang Shuxiu where she bought them. These tomatoes tasted really good, so they ate them as fruits.Wang Shuxiu proudly showed off for a long time that her son planted it with his own hands. Unsurprisingly, she was envied by her colleagues, who all praised her for having a good son.Thinking of this, Wang Shuxiu felt that since the little bastard lost his memory, life has become more comfortable, and it is much more enjoyable than before.

Lu Lingxi took the bowl from Wang Shuxiu, smiled and said nothing.

Wang Shuxiu glanced at him and suddenly thought of something, and said casually: "The old bastard lost again in gambling, this time he owes a lot, and Xiao Feng sent him to the northwest to dig coal."

Lu Lingxi: "...is it all right?"

Wang Shuxiu snorted, "What's the matter, the old bastard has nothing to do with us, and the divorce certificate is not for white-collar workers. Besides, I heard that Xiao Feng's hometown mine is quite formal, with insurance and everything, and good food Drink and control them, just do some work and not die of exhaustion."

Last time when Lu Yishui owed money, he yelled that Brother Feng would send him to dig coal and drive him to death.He has been raised by Wang Shuxiu for so many years, and he has become a habit of eating and being lazy. Perhaps in his eyes, mining coal is really worse than death.Lu Lingxi actually didn't understand Lu Yishui's psychology. Is gambling so interesting?He likes to gamble so much that he would rather abandon his wife and children, and be abducted everywhere?Lu Lingxi didn't know what to say, she lowered her head and said nothing.

When Wang Shuxiu was full, she left the dining table and cleaned up the kitchen. Lu Lingxi secretly took the uneaten chicken legs to Dahei.Dahei glanced at the kitchen cleverly, biting the chicken leg and ran to the backyard.

Yi Hang came in over the wall and saw Dahei eating a chicken leg. While picking a tomato and biting it, he shouted to Lu Lingxi: "Your dog, third son, lives a good life. He eats chicken legs every day."

Lu Lingxi: "..."

Hearing this, Wang Shuxiu poked her head out of the kitchen and glared at Lu Lingxi. She smirked at Lu Lingxi's embarrassing expression, and signaled, "If you don't want to eat chicken, you can give it to Dahei. You little bastard is still playing tricks on me and your mother." .”

Lu Lingxi showed a big smile to Wang Shuxiu flatteringly, Wang Shuxiu had nothing to do with him, she glared at him and went back to clean up the kitchen.

When he finished eating and wanted to clean up the dishes, Wang Shuxiu stopped him, "I'll come, you and Yi Hang go play." She felt sorry for Lu Lingxi.Yi Hang is older than Lu Lingxi, and he has nothing to do but hang out every day.Lu Lingxi has been working for more than half a month, and she still has to come back to read at night, and I heard that she often reads in the middle of the night.When the little bastard was fooling around with Yi Hang before, she felt that the little bastard was not up to date, but now that the little bastard was up to date, she began to feel sorry for the little bastard again.

Wang Shuxiu drove them out of the kitchen, and Lu Lingxi sat on the steps with her long legs hanging down to watch Dahei eat chicken.Yi Hang washed another tomato, and asked vaguely, "Did my cousin look for you? What's the matter with micro gardening?"

"I found it. Sister Du wants me to take over the store, but I have no money."

Yi Hang felt a little pity, "How much?"

"Two million."

Yi Hang touched his pockets, he only had a few hundred dollars on him, and he was too embarrassed to ask Lu Lingxi to make up for it. "You didn't tell your aunt...my sister?"

Lu Lingxi couldn't help laughing when Yi Hang changed his words halfway.

"My mother doesn't have much money anymore. It's not easy for her to save some money, and she has to save it for some urgent matters. Don't tell my mother about this."

"I know." Yi Hang grabbed Lu Lingxi's neck, squeezed beside him and said casually, "If only there was a way to get money quickly."

Lu Lingxi thought of the Chunlan plant, and planned to go to the flower market tomorrow.
