Pastoral Daily Life

The earth kang in the countryside is a completely novel experience for Lu Lingxi.

Sitting on the edge of the kang, he kicked the bottom curiously. The gray bricks were tightly packed, and there was no sound when he kicked up.Da Hei curled up on the bed of the kang as if at home, which happened to separate him and Yan Yue from the left to the right.

"Is it really possible to light a fire under here?" Lu Lingxi took off her shoes and got on the kang, patted the hard edge of the kang, and asked Yan Yue curiously through the big black.

It was also the first time for Yan Yue to sleep on the kang, he smiled slightly, "We can try it when it's cold, and we'll see if it works."

Lu Lingxi didn't understand the hidden meaning of this sentence, and agreed with sparkling eyes.He was really tired today, and fell asleep shortly after turning off the lights.The night in the suburbs is very quiet, there is no friction of passing vehicles on the road, and no noise from roadside food stalls, only the occasional accompaniment of the sound of insects, accompanied by the clear moonlight spreading inside the house, weaving a peaceful dream.

Yan Yue thought that he would not be able to fall asleep, but unexpectedly he closed his eyes to the sound of insects and woke up to dawn.He didn't have insomnia or nightmares, and there seemed to be a fragrance of grass and trees surrounding him throughout the night, so that even Dahei's snoring was ignored by him.

Yan Yue woke up around six o'clock.He was used to insomnia in the past, and he has always been self-disciplined, and he rarely sleeps past six o'clock.As soon as he opened his eyes, Yan Yue was in a trance for a moment, surrounded by a completely unfamiliar environment, but it unexpectedly gave him a sense of peace of mind.As soon as there was movement on his side, Dahei opened his eyes and straightened up to look over.Yan Yue sat up, looked at Dahei who was squatting for a while, stretched out his hand in a good mood and scratched Dahei's chin like Lu Lingxi did, and smiled softly: "Don't make noise, be careful to wake up Xiaoxi."

I don't know if Dahei understood this sentence, and curled up on the kang head again.

Lu Lingxi was sleeping soundly across the big black, the boy's sleeping face was pure and quiet, his skin was white and almost transparent, the faint morning light shone through the window on the boy's face, as if it was smudged with a layer of golden halo, making him There is no trace of blasphemy in life.Last night, the two of them stayed in too hastily, and they didn't bring any change of clothes.When going to bed at night, Lu Lingxi only took off her shorts, and slept together wearing a T-shirt as pajamas.One night later, the T-shirt had already been rolled up to his chest, revealing his white and tender belly, which rose and fell gently with his breathing.

Yan Yue's eyes were slowly stained with a smile, and his eyes turned around Lu Lingxi's round belly button, looking all the way down.Going over the underwear with the big yellow duck printed on it, the boy's long legs were exposed generously, and the bed sheet that was originally covered had already been kicked under his feet.

The desire to get close to and touch the boy was clamoring crazily, Yan Yue leaned over with dim eyesight and gently pulled out the sheet to cover the boy's body, also covering the exposed part of the boy.

Speaking of which, although Lu Lingxi is not as tall as him, the ratio is just right.Yan Yue himself has 186, Lu Lingxi is half a head lower than him, so it should be about 178 anyway.But Lu Lingxi is only 18, so she should continue to grow taller.

While Yan Yue was thinking wildly about various ideas to distract him from his desire to be close to the boy, he quickly got dressed, opened the door and went out.He remembered that Lu Lingxi said last night that the green plants that were repotted had to be watered again this morning.In order to prevent the young man from getting too tired, and to find something to distract himself, Yan Yue simply washed up, then found the plastic pot in the flower garden and started watering.

When Uncle Li came over to call the two of them to eat, he saw Yan Yue bending over and inserting a bamboo stick into the flower pot to see if the soil below was completely soaked.The old man suddenly laughed, thinking that the young man Yan Yue was very smart.Although I don't know much about how to take care of these flowers and plants, but I know how to find a way, and I can find a way.It's just that this method is a bit stupid, unlike Xiaoxi's doll, who only needs to know at a glance whether the water is enough.

But it's no wonder that Yan Yue's appearance doesn't look like someone playing with these things, but rather like the white-collar workers he saw on TV.The old man walked over with a smile, "Where's Xiaoxi?"

Yan Yue turned his head and saw Uncle Li greeted him politely, "Xiaoxi is still sleeping."

Uncle Li showed distressed expression, "Oh, but I was exhausted yesterday, let the little one sleep for a while. I'll warm up the food for you, remember to eat later."

Yan Yue was about to nod his head in agreement, when Lu Lingxi rubbed his eyes and opened the door and came out. "Brother Yan?"

"Are you awake?" Yan Yue put down the kettle and walked over.

It was only after Lu Lingxi went out that she fully woke up. Seeing Uncle Li's embarrassed smile, "Are you here?"

Uncle Li likes Lu Lingxi very much, and the little doll is so white and tender that it is rare to see. "Hurry up and wash your face. We have cooked porridge and steamed sweet potatoes at home. It won't taste good when it gets cold."

"En." Lu Lingxi rolled his eyes, he was too tired from work last night, and now he was really hungry, so he was no longer polite.

Uncle Li's breakfast is very delicious.The thick white porridge is paired with refreshing and delicious side dishes. The emerald green color seems to be watered out, and it looks appetizing.There are also steamed soft sweet potatoes, just out of the pot, there is a scent of sweetness.Lu Lingxi had never seen such directly steamed sweet potatoes before. He also ate sweet potatoes when he was in Lu's house, but they were already processed sweet potato cakes, which had lost the original taste of sweet potatoes.

Uncle Li broke off half of the sweet potato and handed it to Lu Lingxi. The sweet potato just out of the pot was still a little hot, and sniffing it at such a close distance, the sweet smell penetrated into his nose one after another.Lu Lingxi blew on the sweet potato twice, wanting to eat it but fearing it would be hot.His embarrassment fell into Yan Yue's eyes, Yan Yue was both funny and helpless, he just looked at Lu Lingxi anxiously without saying a word.

Uncle Li was very happy to see that Lu Lingxi liked to eat sweet potatoes, so he ordered his family to decorate sweet potatoes for Lu Lingxi to take home to eat.Their sweet potatoes are all grown by themselves, without any pesticides, absolutely natural.When Lu Lingxi heard his own planting, he also wanted to grow some sweet potatoes in the backyard, but this year was too late, and he had to wait until next year.

After eating, the two returned to the small courtyard to pack up and prepare to go back to the city.Lu Lingxi scanned it, and found that all the green plants that had been repotted had been watered, and all of them were well watered.There was neither the situation that the soil surface was just wet and the bottom layer was still dry, nor did the water drip everywhere.

He looked at Yan Yue in surprise, Yan Yue didn't understand what he meant, "What's wrong?"

The corners of Lu Lingxi's mouth turned up, and he praised vigorously: "Brother Yan, you are really good, and the watering of these potted plants is just right."

This was the second time that Lu Lingxi praised him, Yan Yue couldn't laugh or cry, it seemed that he was really talented in tending these flowers and plants.However, Yan Yue raised the corners of his mouth and looked at Lu Lingxi, "Xiaoxi is even better, she can tell the watering situation just by looking at it."

He intended to praise Lu Lingxi, but he didn't expect that this sentence hit Lu Lingxi's guilty conscience.Lu Lingxi secretly took a look at Yan Yue, and was relieved to make sure that Yan Yue didn't have any strange expressions on his face.

There was a little traffic on the way back, just in time for the morning rush hour for work.Lu Lingxi had been raised at home before. Although she has a job now, this is the first time she has faced the rush of early morning commuters intuitively.The two were stuck on the highway entering the city, with cars in front and behind.Yan Yue comforted him and said, "There is a toll booth ahead, it will be better after passing the toll booth."

Lu Lingxi nodded, he was not in a hurry, how could he be one of the small bosses of Micro Gardening, and his partner was sitting next to him, Yan Yue would never accuse him of being lazy and not working.

After saying that, he couldn't help but laugh.

Speaking of which, when Lu Lingxi first met Yan Yue, Yan Yue rarely smiled.He would think that Yan Yue was cold-tempered because he always saw Yan Yue's expressionless face.But now that the two of them are getting acquainted, Lu Lingxi finds that Yan Yue can actually laugh too, not the kind of smile with the corners of his mouth curled up and no smile in his eyes, but a real smile.

"Brother Yan, you should smile more, so that you will be in a good mood every day." Lu Lingxi said seriously.

Yan Yue looked at him with a smile and nodded.

The vehicle in front began to squirm slowly, and just as Yan Yue was about to catch up, the traffic stopped again.In normal times, Yan Yue must have been irritable at this time, but because Lu Lingxi was sitting next to him, even traffic jams seemed to be something tolerable and even somewhat enjoyable.

While the two were talking, Yan Yue's cell phone rang beside him, and the caller was An Jie.Yan Yue glanced at Lu Lingxi and answered the phone.

"Hey, what's wrong?"

An Jie's tone was a bit heavy, and there was a sense of aggrieved Yan Yue in it. "There is news from the headquarters that the chairman seems to intend to send Yan Hai abroad."

The name Yan Hai made Yan Yue's eyes darken.Half a month ago, Professor Susan's office was stolen.Then, just as Yan Yue expected, news spread in Zhongjing's company headquarters that he had actually been seeing a doctor abroad for so many years, and even refused to return to China after graduation because of his illness.According to rumors, he saw a psychiatrist and became a psychiatrist, and everyone seemed certain that he was a psychopath.

Yan Yue didn't come forward to explain this matter, as if he didn't know anything.Soon, Yan Shihui called him back to Zhongjing.Both father and son knew exactly what was going on.It's just that in Yan Shihui's eyes, whether it's mental illness or mental illness, Yan Yue really has a problem.He euphemistically said that Yan Yue should not have too much pressure, and that his health is more important.After hearing Yan Shihui's hint, Yan Yue understood Yan Shihui's hint, gave up his overseas position knowingly and wisely, and handed over the specific work matters within a week.This is also the reason why he has been busy recently and did not appear in front of Lu Lingxi.

Yan Yue's retreat was only the first step, and he was waiting for his father's subsequent reaction.For Hope Group, the overseas market is very important, Yan Shihui must put someone he can trust, and this person can see his true attitude towards Yan Yue.

Yan Hai!

There was a sneer at the corner of Yan Yue's mouth, and his voice was cold, "Since the board of directors has made a decision, let him go. You hand over the affairs over there and return to China as soon as possible."

An Jie agreed, "What about the negotiation with NT Group?"

Yan Yue wrote lightly: "Stop the negotiation. Re-contact NT people in the name of Dezhi Investment. Send me the relevant information by email, and I will give them a call."

"it is good!"

The cooperation with NT is the key overseas project of Hope Group this year. Yan Yue started contact with the other party two years ago, and the two sides have been talking intermittently for nearly two years.Some time ago, it seemed that there was going to be a breakthrough, but Yin Qinglan clamored for Yan Yue to return to China, and Yan Yue was handed over to An Jie for the follow-up.An Jie had persuaded Yan Yue before to contact NT in the name of Dezhi Investment and win this project.After thinking about it, Yan Yue rejected An Jie's proposal. He didn't think about returning to China at the time. It made no difference to him whether Hepu or Dezhi won the project.But now everything is going to be different.

The two talked a few more words before Yan Yue hung up the phone.After putting away the phone, he realized that Lu Lingxi was by his side.Yan Yue felt a little regretful, more annoyed.He was not on guard against Lu Lingxi, and he made no secret of his calculations against He Pu on the phone.I don't know what Lu Lingxi will think of him after hearing this?The young man has a pure heart, and he has just stepped into the society and has never been exposed to these things. Will he be considered a bad person?Coupled with a bunch of bad things in his family, Yan Yue became a little uneasy, and turned to look at Lu Lingxi.

Lu Lingxi's expression was a little surprised, but also a little bit clear.Yan Yue wanted to explain, but didn't know how to speak.

Lu Lingxi smiled shyly, looked away through the car window and looked outside.

He didn't mean to listen to Yan Yue talking on the phone, but it was hard not to hear them sitting together.He had never asked about Yan Yue's identity before, and because of Dahei, he had already determined that Yan Yue was a good person. As for Yan Yue's identity and background, it was not important to him at all.Through this period of getting along, he thought that Yan Yue was what he saw.But this phone call made him realize that the gentle Yan Yue he saw, who loved animals and flowers, was just one side of it, and there were many other sides that he didn't see.

What Yan Yue mentioned on the phone reminded him of the Lu family in the past.Several uncles fought back and forth for the family property. Whenever they get together during Chinese New Year, the atmosphere in the Lu family mansion will be very strange.Lu Lingxi actually didn't understand, what's the point of such a life?

He pretended to be unintentional and took a sneak peek at Yan Yue, feeling even more confused in his heart.
