Pastoral Daily Life

Lu Lingxi and Yan Yue took Dahei to the flower garden again.Although Uncle Li said on the phone that nothing was wrong, Lu Lingxi was still a little worried and wanted to find out what was going on.

Hearing that Lu Lingxi was coming at night, Uncle Li was very heart-warming. After finishing his work on the flower garden, he hurried back and asked Aunt Li to cook more for Lu Lingxi and Yan Yue.As soon as Lu Lingxi and Yan Yue entered the village, they were blocked by Uncle Li at the door.

"The meal is ready, and I'll be waiting for you."

Lu Lingxi was a little embarrassed, and wanted to trouble Uncle Li again.Uncle Li didn't think it was troublesome.People are afraid of loneliness when they are old.He and Aunt Li's children are away from home, and they can come back to see each other during the Chinese New Year during the year, and they are too busy to even make a phone call.Although Uncle Li understands them, life outside is not easy, but sometimes he really misses children.Fortunately, there used to be Du Lin, who came to the flower garden from time to time, and Uncle Li also regarded Du Lin as his own daughter in his heart.Now that Du Lin has returned to her hometown, and the flower garden has been handed over to Lu Lingxi, Uncle Li is even happier.The child is good-looking and obedient, in his eyes Lu Lingxi is almost the same as his grandson, he wished that Lu Lingxi would come to the flower garden every day.

When they returned home, Aunt Li smiled at Lu Lingxi from afar.She remembered that Lu Lingxi liked to eat oatmeal rolls, so she took another basket in the afternoon.This time it is not a stewed mushroom meat stew, but a pot of mutton stewed, which makes it more flavorful.

"Xiaoxi, eat more." Aunt Li lovingly poured a big bowl for Lu Lingxi, feeling distressed: "Look at the baby's skinny."

Lu Lingxi smiled shyly, took the bowl and at the same time took a peek at Yan Yue, knowing that Yan Yue must have heard it, and probably will force him to eat again when he goes back.In fact, he doesn't think he's skinny at all. Last time, Yi Hang joked that the flesh on his face was about to squeeze.He didn't understand why everyone thought he was thin, as if he didn't eat well every day.

Uncle Li also nodded, and echoed: "It's a little thin, it would be better to be fatter."

Lu Lingxi stopped talking and started to eat with her head buried.

Yan Yue smiled softly, gave Lu Lingxi a loving look, and helped him take another piece of food with chopsticks.

After several people had almost eaten, Uncle Li began to talk about the afternoon's affairs.It's nothing to say, but the director of the Songjiazhuang Plastic Factory encouraged a few children working in the village to come to Lingshui Village to ask for an explanation.These stunned youths didn't even look at the slightly older people in the village who refused to show up, and ran over after being teased.As a result, Xu San saw it as soon as he arrived at the flower garden.

When Uncle Li said this, he gave Yan Yue a meaningful look.Regarding Xu San, Uncle Li felt strange at first, why Xu San was still wandering around the flower garden every day after being beaten, could it be that he was waiting for revenge?But he watched it for a few days and saw that something was wrong. Xu San didn't seem like he was going to do something bad, but rather nervous.There was something wrong in the flower garden, and he reacted faster than anyone else.Uncle Li thought about it in his heart and understood a little bit, so he didn't care about Xu San's affairs anymore.

When Xu San showed up like this today, he immediately alarmed Uncle Li.Uncle Li thought that those stunned youths were coming to the flower garden to make trouble, but when the loudspeaker greeted them, half of the village blocked them.As a result, after the two parties had a dialogue, they found out that they were from Songjiazhuang to seek an explanation.Now everyone in Lingshui Village was blown away.Dare to feel that Songjiazhuang drains waste water into the Lingshui River every day, so that they can't stand the smell and have to walk all the way around the river. The other party is still confident and doesn't feel guilty at all?

Speaking of this passage, Uncle Li couldn't help laughing.Lu Lingxi had never seen people in the village quarreling, especially the women in the village, it was really fierce.A group of old ladies headed by Aunt Li taught those stunned youths a lesson for two hours. From their grandparents to the present, they have been taught one by one like grandchildren.As long as their attitude is not good, the men in the village will go up.Regardless of the age of the left-behind villagers in Lingshui Village, they were all born to do farm work, especially recently, they are all in good health, so it is absolutely no problem to scare those little bastards.

In the end, it was Song Wancai who rushed over to make an apology to settle the matter.

Lu Lingxi also laughed when he heard it. Although he didn't experience it personally, but hearing Uncle Li's tone, he thought that those people must have gone back in disgrace in the end.No one in the village suffers, so he can rest assured.

Uncle Li didn't forget to praise Xu San at the end, "As the old saying goes, if a prodigal son turns back, he won't get money. Xu San doesn't know if it is considered a prodigal son, but he performed well today, so he didn't embarrass Lingshui Village."

He said these words specifically for Yan Yue to hear.The old man is soft-hearted, Xu San is no longer a thing, he was the one who watched him grow up.In the past, he hated iron but not steel, but now seeing that Xu San's posture has improved, he hastened to give him a hand.No matter what Yan Yue did, it was a good thing for Xu San. Uncle Li thought that Yan Yue could spend more time, so that Xu San would not go back to his old ways.

Yan Yue heard Uncle Li's meaning, smiled and said nothing, actually a little surprised in his heart.Xu San didn't pay much attention to this bastard at all, but he didn't expect the other party to be very concerned.It's good to use someone like this, Yan Yue thinks he needs to talk to Xu San again.

After they finished their meal, they helped Aunt Li clean up, and Uncle Li drove Lu Lingxi back to rest. "It's cold, go back to sleep early."

It is already the end of October, and the temperature is indeed a bit low.Lu Lingxi agreed and Yan Yue went out with Dahei.The two were about to go back to the flower garden when the big black nose sniffed and suddenly called out in the direction of the Lingshui River.

Lu Lingxi frowned, as if something was going on over the Lingshui River.Yan Yue made a decisive decision, "Let's go and have a look."

"it is good."

The two of them didn't go back to the flower garden, and turned directly to Lingshui River with Dahei.At this time in October, the sky is already completely dark, but the moon is good tonight, and the moonlight spreads like water, so don't worry about not being able to see the road clearly.Yan Yue led Lu Lingxi and walked slowly, Lu Lingxi thought of something, and said with a trace of regret: "I should have gone back to the flower garden to get a small bucket just now, and I can bring a bucket of water back by the way."

Yan Yue's eyes were full of smiles, and he nodded in agreement, "Xiaoxi is right, but we didn't plan well."

The more Mingmingyan agrees with him, but Lu Lingxi just feels that something is wrong.He glanced at Yan Yue suspiciously, Yan Yue couldn't hold back a loud laugh, and stretched out his hand to stroke his hair pamperingly.

Lu Lingxi slightly turned her head away, Yan Yue didn't care, and quickly moved over to pinch his chin and kissed him, coaxing: "Xiaoxi is right."

Lu Lingxi: "..."

Yan Yue laughed even louder.

The two strolled all the way to the Lingshui River.Under the night, the "Black Water River" in the daytime is still flowing slowly.Lu Lingxi looked at it for a long time but didn't see anything, and looked at Dahei hesitantly.Dahei yelled in a low voice, biting Yan Yue's trouser leg and dragging him forward.Yan Yue followed him a few steps, walked to the river and leaned over to take a closer look, frowning tightly.

"What's wrong?" Seeing his reaction, Lu Lingxi moved forward.

Yan Yue quickly stopped him, the smell by the river was really unpleasant.He whispered: "The upstream is probably still discharging waste water." Meeting the young man's puzzled eyes, Yan Yue explained: "This is a common old trick. Once these small factories encounter inspection reports and the like, they will be shut down during the day. Pretend to stop working, and wait until night to continue working. No one else can catch it."

"Then what should we do?" Lu Lingxi was a little anxious.He could imagine that if he reported it again, the other party would definitely not admit it.Besides, even if he reported it, people from the Environmental Protection Bureau would not come to check it in the middle of the night.

Yan Yue looked down, and rubbed Lu Lingxi's hair comfortingly, "Don't worry, I'll find a way." His voice was calm and firm, with a soothing force, Lu Lingxi was relieved.

For Yan Yue, whether it is economic development or environmental protection, he himself doesn't care much about these things. It is entirely because of Lu Lingxi that he cares about Lingshui River.In his opinion, with Ye Cheng's order and Lu Lingxi's report, that plastic factory was enough to close down. He didn't expect the other party to be so courageous and dare to commit crimes against the wind.Several thoughts turned in Yan Yue's mind, thinking about how to solve this matter.It's just that before he could speak, Dahei had already yelled at the village.

Yan Yue had heard Dahei's various calls, but this was the first time that he called "Aww", it was a bit like howling a wolf.As Dahei's cry came out, the whole village immediately boiled.One after another, the barking of dogs sounded from everywhere, as if they were responding to Dahei's call.Some wild dogs joined in the fun on the other side of the river, and howled together.

Dahei glanced across the river calmly, then raised his head and let out another groan.Then it trotted to Lu Lingxi's side, rubbed on Lu Lingxi's leg affectionately, and whimpered softly, as if it was talking about something.After speaking, it took a look at Lu Lingxi, and ran along the Lingshui River towards Songjiazhuang upstream.

Lu Lingxi guessed what Dahei meant, and felt a little incredulous.While he was still in a daze, he saw dogs running out of the village one after another, chasing after Dahei.Even a group of wild dogs on the other side of the river did not fall behind, and followed Dahei closely.

In the rural areas of Huaguo, basically every household is willing to keep a dog to guard the door.In the past, most people kept native dogs. Later, as everyone became rich, they started to keep pet dogs like the people in the city.Lu Lingxi watched a few pugs rushing out of the village, waving their short legs vigorously and chasing after the big dogs in front.

Yan Yue: "..."

This time it was him who was not calm.

Lu Lingxi didn't know what to say, so she realized after a while, "Brother Yan, do we want to go and have a look?"

Yan Yue looked a little helpless, but he was very confident in Dahei. "Don't worry, Dahei knows how to measure, and nothing will happen."

"But Dahei..." Lu Lingxi was a little worried about Dahei.

Yan Yue laughed and said affirmatively: "Dahei will be fine, Xiaoxi has forgotten how powerful Dahei is."

Lu Lingxi thought for a while, and reluctantly let go of her heart.

Seeing that he was still worried, Yan Yue explained patiently: "Dahei and the others are out to make trouble, and no one knows what's going on with the lights in the dark. If we follow, we will definitely be seen by the people over there. Songjiazhuang has already suspected that it is Ling. The people in the water village have reported it, and if they see us making trouble, it will be troublesome."

This explanation convinced Lu Lingxi, he looked at Yan Yue hesitantly, "Brother Yan, shall we wait for Dahei here?"

Yan Yue didn't answer immediately, but first touched Lu Lingxi's face, the wind was a little cold, he said decisively: "Go back, Dahei knows the way."

Lu Lingxi nodded obediently.

The two walked back to the village slowly, and the whole village became chaotic.Someone recognized Lu Lingxi and Yan Yue, and greeted them loudly: "Are you also here to find a dog?"

Lu Lingxi nodded with a guilty conscience.

The other party looked puzzled, and asked Jiachang: "I don't know what's going on, the dogs in the house are all running out like crazy, and if you don't pay attention, you can't see them. You have to go out of the dog hole after closing the door, and stop everything. Can't stop." After he finished speaking, he tried to comfort Lu Lingxi, "Don't worry, little baby, I've seen your dog before, if I see it, I'll catch it for you."

"..." Lu Lingxi: "I'm in trouble."

After the other party said a few words, they wandered around to find the dog.Lu Lingxi followed Yan Yue back slowly, and within two steps, she heard a puppy scratching the door frantically in a yard by the side of the road.

The man's voice came out: "If it wants to go out, you can let it go out, our dog knows the way and can't lose it."

The woman retorted loudly: "What nonsense are you talking about? Didn't you hear people outside yelling that the dogs ran away? They are all big dogs. Our dog is only four months old. What if we don't come back?"

Lu Lingxi looked at Yan Yue with some embarrassment, Yan Yue held back a smile and led Lu Lingxi to take two quick steps, comforting in a low voice: "It's okay, those dogs will probably be back in a while."

Having said that, Lu Lingxi thought of those short-legged pugs for some reason, and couldn't help worrying about them while laughing.Don't run over and run back without the strength, right?
