Pastoral Daily Life

The next day, Yan Yue and Lu Lingxi had breakfast at Uncle Li's house.

While the two were still asleep, Uncle Li came to the flower garden and started watering the green plants.Lu Lingxi got up in embarrassment, and saw that it was only six o'clock.Uncle Li looked at Lu Lingxi with a smile on his face, "Let's go to sleep. I don't feel much when I'm old, and you're still growing, baby."

I slept a little late last night, and Lu Lingxi is still sleepy.But in front of Uncle Li, he was too embarrassed to go back to sleep.Yan Yue followed closely, and the two of them simply helped Uncle Li to do the work together.

At around seven o'clock, Aunt Li came over to invite them to have dinner.Yesterday, knowing that Lu Lingxi and Yan Yue had come, Aunt Li found out the noodles on purpose.Get up early in the morning and pour water and noodles, and push a basket of oatmeal rolls.This end was steamed with oatmeal rolls, and Aunt Li soaked some sun-dried mushrooms, chopped them and fried them with diced meat, and made a stew of diced mushrooms.When steaming the oatmeal rolls, Aunt Li also steamed some potatoes separately, let them cool, peeled and mashed them, and mixed them with chili, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar to make a cold dish.Now that these are all done, just wait for them to eat.

Yan Yue and Lu Lingxi did not refuse, and followed Uncle Li back home.As soon as the two of them sat down at the dinner table, Aunt Li brought up the steaming steamer.As Aunt Li opened the cage, a strange fragrance filled the nostrils.Lu Lingxi had never heard of oat noodle rolls before. He looked inside the cage curiously, and saw rows of small rolls crowded together, a bit like the honeycomb briquettes he had seen in books.

Aunt Li’s oat noodle rolls are very beautiful. Each one is as long as a finger. It is as thin as a willow leaf at the entrance of the village. endless.Lu Lingxi couldn't resist eating two bowls, and almost couldn't put down the bowl.

Uncle Li was very happy to see that he was able to eat, and he was still persuading him, "Little baby, eat more. Your aunt is in good health recently, her arms are strong, and the noodles that come out are stronger than her usual cooking."

Lu Lingxi smiled and nodded, but didn't move his chopsticks. He really couldn't eat anymore.But Lu Lingxi listened to Uncle Li's words, and asked concerned: "Auntie's leg doesn't hurt recently, right?"

"It doesn't hurt." Uncle Li was even happier when he said this. "It's been almost a month. Your aunt hasn't been hurt once, even the last time it rained, nothing happened."

Aunt Li interjected when she heard this, "It's all the tree god's blessing."

Uncle Li looked at her helplessly, "What does this have to do with that big willow tree?"

"Of course it's related." The old couple chattered in front of the guests.Lu Lingxi and Yan Yue looked at each other and laughed at the same time.Even if Uncle Li and Aunt Li were bickering, Lu Lingxi could feel the strong affection between them.Will he and Big Brother Yan be like this when they get old?

Uncle Li couldn't say no to Aunt Li, so he had no choice but to put his flag down and changed the subject, mentioning yesterday's village meeting.Speaking of it, it still has something to do with the big willow tree at the entrance of the village.During this period of time, as the news of the big willow tree's resurrection spread in the surrounding villages, more and more old men and women came to burn some paper and kowtow under the big willow tree when they had nothing to do.The village chief didn't know what he was thinking, but on the surface he had to say that this was a feudal superstition, so that people in the village would not go out and spread it.After talking about the big willow tree, the village head focused on the river behind the village.

There is a river behind Lingshui Village, which is called Lingshui River.Speaking of which, the name of Lingshui Village still comes from the river.The upper reaches of the Lingshui River is a reservoir, where Fengcheng's waterworks are built.Because of this, the water quality of the Lingshui River used to be pretty good, and you could often touch a snail in the river, catch a small fish or something.But since a plastic processing factory was built in Songjiazhuang upstream of Lingshui Village, the water quality of Lingshui River has become worse and worse. Now the water flowing is dark brown and smells like a bad smell.

Last time the village head saw a few children in the village playing in the river, and after giving them a lesson, he made this a key point during the meeting and proposed that the children are strictly prohibited from playing in the river, so that the adults in the family can watch it. .Children are ignorant, if something happens after drinking some river water, who will be to blame.

Uncle Li sighed, a little sentimental, "The water in that river used to be so clear, and your aunt often went to wash clothes in the river, and after washing, spread it on the stones by the river, and it would be dry in half an hour. Don’t talk about washing clothes now, I can’t stand the smell even close to it.”

In the past, the feelings of the villagers were not obvious, but with the improvement of the environment in the village, it is really refreshing to take a breath.In contrast, the villagers couldn't bear the smell of Lingshui River even more.As far as Uncle Li knew, the village head had gone to Songjiazhuang twice to find him, but it didn't work at all.

"It's all about black conscience to make money." Uncle Li said angrily.

Lu Lingxi had never seen what the Lingshui River looked like before, but thinking about what he saw last time, he seemed to empathize with Uncle Li's anger.

On the way back, Lu Lingxi clicked on the white panel, and the entire Lingshui Village was displayed on the panel.He focused on the Lingshui River, and sure enough, the expansion of the purified soil was hindered by the Lingshui River.It seemed that there was an invisible barrier in front of him, and the expansion of the soil stopped.Lu Lingxi could see clearly that the expansion of the soil did not really stop, but that the Lingshui River flowed day by day, and the toxic substances were deposited at the bottom of the river one after another. The purification speed of the soil was not as fast as the pollution speed. Yes stopped.

Lu Lingxi frowned, and told Yan Yue about this phenomenon.The joy of coming to the village yesterday also disappeared with the pollution of Lingshui River.Yan Yue saw it, rubbed Lu Lingxi's hair, and said nothing.Only one day later, Yan Yue offered to go back to the flower garden at night.

"Go back to the flower garden? Didn't you already go back the day before yesterday?" Lu Lingxi was puzzled. While packing up her things and preparing to close the door, she thought about Wang Lian who was raised at home.The seeds of Wang Lian generally need to be heated at a room temperature of 25-28 degrees to germinate, and they can germinate basically after a week.Lu Lingxi has successfully germinated the Wang Lian seeds that Xue Yongtong gave him, and now the second young leaf has grown.At this time, clear water is not enough for Wang Lian, and it needs to be moved to a petri dish filled with silt.He planned to go back to transplant in the evening.

Yan Yue saw that he was absent-minded, so he didn't care, but said mysteriously: "Xiaoxi will know when he's gone."

Lu Lingxi tried to figure out what to see on Yan Yue's face, but after a while she reluctantly chose to give up.He talked to Wang Shuxiu, asked Wang Shuxiu to help him change the water for Wang Lian at night, and followed Yan Yue to the flower garden.

When the two arrived, Uncle Li and Yu Xiaojuan were still in the flower garden.Seeing Lu Lingxi coming over, Uncle Li laughed. "Is the little baby going to the pond? This is the first time the old man has seen such a big leaf. I heard that it is called Wang Lian, but it is really rare."

Wang Lian... Lu Lingxi suddenly looked at Yan Yue with surprise in his eyes.Yan Yue looked at him dotingly, smiled and said nothing.

Lu Lingxi couldn't help but said, "Brother Yan, did you ask Uncle Xue for the Wang Lian?"

Yan Yue nodded, spread his hands deliberately, pretending to be regretful, and said, "I wanted to surprise Xiaoxi, but Master Li told me all about it, so there is no surprise."

Uncle Li laughed as he listened.

Lu Lingxi looked at Yan Yue with crooked eyebrows, the smile on his face could not be stopped.He thought of something again, and asked repeatedly, "Brother Yan, why did you tell Uncle Xue? Is it that Wang Lian? But how did you recognize which Wang Lian belonged to?"

Seeing Lu Lingxi's joyful look, Yan Yue felt extremely happy.While he was pulling the boy to the pond, he explained the ins and outs of the incident in a non-essential way. "Xue Yongtong owed me a favor, and this Wang Lian is his favor. As for whether it is the Wang Lian, you have to see for yourself, Xiaoxi. But didn't you talk about vitality last time? You picked this Wang Lian. The lotus is the best among all Wang Lian, so there should be no problem." Of course, the premise is that Xue Yongtong didn't miss it, or deliberately lied to him.

Lu Lingxi nodded, and quickly said: "It doesn't matter if it's not the first-level peak Wang Lian, as long as we cultivate it carefully, it will definitely evolve." He is very confident about this, and with the help of the panel, evolution is not a problem at all.

Because of being too excited, Lu Lingxi trotted all the way for a distance of more than ten minutes, and ran over in a few minutes.Yan Yue saw that he couldn't stop panting, and felt a little distressed, "Wang Lian can't run away in the pond, what's the hurry!"

Lu Lingxi didn't care about talking to Yan Yue, and all her attention was on the huge green jade plate in the middle of the pond.The mental scan was sent out, and Wang Lian's state emerged in his mind.The name of Wang Lian, the first class, made Lu Lingxi's eyes light up. She turned around and tiptoed quickly kissed Yan Yue's lips, and said excitedly, "Thank you, Brother Yan."

He took the rare initiative to make Yan Yue's eyes darken, and pulled Lu Lingxi to say something in a low voice.Lu Lingxi immediately thought of what happened the afternoon before yesterday, her eyes wandered, and she hesitated and nodded embarrassedly.Seeing that he agreed, Yan Yue raised the corners of his mouth in satisfaction.From Lu Lingxi's reaction, it can be judged that this Wang Lian should be the first-level peak Wang Lian. "Do you want to choose to evolve?"

Lu Lingxi forced her attention away from agreeing to Yan Yue, and nodded. "To evolve, let's come over at night."

"it is good."

Because of thinking about this matter in her heart, Lu Lingxi couldn't even eat dinner to her heart, and she didn't want to eat after two bites.Yan Yue pinched his face, and said with a straight face: "Too thin, you have to finish eating two buns." On the way the two came to the flower garden, Yan Yue made a detour to a well-known bun shop in Fengcheng to pack it. There are two baskets of steamed stuffed buns in various flavors, enough for two people and one dog to eat until tomorrow morning.

With such a straight face, Yan Yue felt like a strict parent.In Lu Lingxi's growth history, this kind of parental image is actually missing.Subconsciously, he sat up straight, glanced at Yan Yue secretly, and obediently ate the buns.Yan Yue eased his expression, turned around and warmed up a pack of milk for Lu Lingxi.Lu Lingxi blinked, and while Yan Yue was not paying attention, quickly broke off a small half of the bun and threw it to Dahei.Dahei swallowed it in one gulp with a quick reaction, and tacitly destroyed Lu Lingxi's body and traces, eliminating the tail.

Listening to the movement behind him, Yan Yue glanced suspiciously at Lu Lingxi and Dahei.Lu Lingxi smiled flatteringly at him with his eyes bent, Yan Yuena had no choice but to turn one eye and close the other.

It wasn't until it was dark that Yan Yue led Lu Lingxi to the pond.Dahei trotted beside the two of them, hiccupping from time to time.At noon, Grandma Wang sent four chicken legs to the store, and Dahei ate three by himself, which was a bit too much for him.In the end, in addition to his normal appetite, he helped Lu Lingxi solve a steamed stuffed bun at night, which was obviously enough.

Yan Yue glanced at it coolly.Should!I want you to help Xiaoxi fool around!

Dahei whimpered softly, hiccupped in the middle of the whimper, and immediately ran away shyly, embarrassed to follow the two of them.

Lu Lingxi: "..."
