Pastoral Daily Life

    The person who came was a middle-aged man, with a slightly fat body and a little bald hair. Maybe he was running in a hurry, and his bare forehead was covered in sweat.

    Du Lin obviously knew each other and quickly greeted her, "Brother Cheng, what's the matter?"

    The chubby man known as Brother Cheng didn't care to wipe the sweat on his head, and hurriedly pulled Du Lin to look at the cuckoo he was holding in his arms, "Do you remember the pot I bought last time? Rhododendron?"

    Du Lin nodded. The full name of the Rhododendron in Cheng Ge’s arms is Belgian Rhododendron. It is a hybrid cultivar. Because the flowers are large and gorgeous, the flowers are beautiful in shape, and can bloom all year round, they are very popular in the flower market. . Belgian rhododendrons are divided into different varieties according to different flower colors. The pot that Cheng brother bought is a racehorse. Racehorses generally have white flowers with bright pink edges and occasional red spots smudged inward from the edges, which looks very nice.

    "What happened to this pot of horse racing?" Du Lin asked.

    Brother Cheng carefully put the flower on the table and said eagerly: "I don't know what's going on, but the leaves and flowers are falling off badly. Look, it's only been blooming for a few days. It's almost gone." Brother Cheng has been on a business trip this week, and he was fine before the business trip. When he came back today, no, where did the flowers go? The family couldn't tell why, so Brother Cheng came to look for Du Lin with flowers in a hurry.

    Du Lin listened to Brother Cheng's words, and twisted the soil again, and she probably had a spectrum in her heart. There are only a few reasons why the Belgian azaleas are falling. She turned her head and waved to Lu Lingxi, "Xiaoxi, come and have a look and tell me what the reason is."

    As early as when Brother Cheng came in, Lu Lingxi had already seen the flowers in his arms. After listening to Du Lin's words, Lu Lingxi walked over quickly, and Yi Hang also followed. The rhododendron in front of me is actually blooming well, but the flowers are a little less, and there is a feeling that the flowering period is about to pass. On the white panel, the three-dimensional azalea rotates in a circle, and there is no problem from the root system to the flower plant. Lu Lingxi glanced at the needs of plants, looked at Brother Cheng and asked carefully, "Did your family put this pot of flowers together with the fruit plate?"

    Brother Cheng looked at Lu Lingxi in surprise, "Little brother, how do you know? This pot of flowers is blooming so well, the old lady put it on the coffee table, and there are several fruit bowls next to it, saying it is a lining look good."

    As soon as Brother Cheng finished speaking, Du Lin laughed helplessly. "Didn't I tell you? Rhododendrons cannot be placed with the fruit tray when they are in bloom. Ripe fruits will emit ethylene, which will stimulate the leaves of the azaleas and end the flowering period early."

    "Oh, I forgot." Brother Cheng patted his head and exclaimed.

    "So there's nothing else to do?" Brother Cheng looked at Lu Lingxi cautiously.

    Lu Lingxi shook his head, the panel showed that there was no other problem with this pot of cuckoo.

    Brother Cheng was relieved, patted Lu Lingxi on the shoulder vigorously, and praised: "You are good."

    Lu Lingxi smiled shyly, Du Lin was more satisfied when she saw Lu Lingxi, she didn't expect Lu Lingxi to be so knowledgeable. When signing the contract, Du Lin took the initiative to skip the probationary period, and the salary was also very kind.

    "Xiaoxi, is it okay to go to work tomorrow?"

    Lu Lingxi hesitated for a few seconds, then nodded affirmatively.

     "That's good, you come to us tomorrow to take over. I'm afraid I won't be able to come often during this time, so I'll leave it to you in the store. If you don't understand anything, call me."

    "Um, good."

    The handover time for the next day was set. Lu Lingxi thought that she would go to the bookstore to buy books, so she didn't stay in the store. Yi Hang was amazed by Lu Lingxi's performance along the way, and poked Lu Lingxi from time to time, "Hey, when did you do this, third child? Why didn't I know that you still know flowers and plants?"

    Lu Lingxi was a little guilty about this question, but just smiled and said nothing.

    Easy Hang poked several times and couldn't get an answer, and soon turned his attention. "Hey, have you thought about it, what do you do with the salary?"

    Lu Lingxi was stunned for a moment, and the figure of Wang Shuxiu flashed in his mind, wondering what Wang Shuxiu likes? Jewelry, jewelry, or clothing?

    "What do you think?"

    "I want to buy a gift for my mom with my salary."

    Yi Hang scratched his hair and grabbed Lu Lingxi, "Okay, the third child is sensible, brother, I finally feel relieved."

    Lu Lingxi: "…"

    The distance from Micro Gardening to the bookstore is not far. Yi Hang remembered Lu Lingxi's memory loss, and he had to point to Lu Lingxi several times at every intersection. In his words, this was called memory enhancement. The area where they are active belongs to the center of Fengcheng, and the location is very prosperous. It was off-duty time, and the crowd was very lively.

    Yihang pulls Lu Lingxi to stand on the side of the road waiting for the red light, and suddenly points to a car in front and exclaims.

    "Fuck, look at that car, the latest Jaguar."

    Lu Lingxi was taken aback by Yi Hang's reaction, and followed his fingers to see a small black car parked on the side of the road, also waiting for the red light with them.

    Yi Hang drooled at this car enviously, Lu Lingxi saw the license plate number at a glance, this car came from Zhongjing.

    In the Jaguar, Yan Yue held the steering wheel expressionlessly, tapping his slender index finger rhythmically, revealing a hint of patience. On the co-pilot beside him, the silver-white mobile phone lay there, and the screen showed that it was talking.

    "Ayue, are you listening to me?"

     "Why is Xiaoya your sister, how can you be so indifferent to her? I heard from the housekeeper that you refuse to even see her. Do you know how sad Xiaoya is?"

    "This time, when you return to China, Xiaoya is happy to see you. What's the result?"

    "Ayue, are you still angry with your mother? Are you still unwilling to forgive your mother?"

    "It was your father who let me down first, can't I pursue my own happiness?"

    The female voice in the phone loops over and over again, and a few words keep going around. Yan Yue resisted the urge to throw the phone out of the window and waited for the mother on the other side of the phone to hang up. As the red light turned green and the traffic flowed, the impatience in Yan Yue's eyes dissipated slightly. He casually glanced out the window and drove away from the intersection.

    Lu Lingxi's attention did not stop on Jaguar, his mind was on how to mention work with Wang Shuxiu tomorrow.

    "Go, green light."

    I don't know who shouted, Lu Lingxi returned to his senses, glanced at the big-character signboard of the bookstore across the road, and temporarily suppressed his worries.

    Lu Lingxi bought a lot of books in the bookstore, most of which are about flower planting and agricultural planting. Yi Hang bored behind Lu Lingxi, wondering what these books were good for.

    In the evening, Lu Lingxi read with great interest a book on common crop planting management methods. There was a special chapter on tomato planting and management. According to the book, the normal planting of tomatoes is divided into spring and summer. Spring planting will wait until next year. Lu Lingxi can't wait, but summer planting is the right time. In addition to the time of sowing, the book also focuses on the treatment of the seeds. Ordinary seeds need to be disinfected before planting. Lu Lingxi looked at the seeds in his hands. He didn't know how to judge the quality of seeds, but these seeds were rewarded by the last upgrade panel, so they should be fine. He decided to skip the disinfection process.

    After carefully studying how to sow for a long time, Lu Lingxi took a water pipe from the kitchen and poured the ground in the backyard seriously. In the afternoon, when he and Yi Hang were weeding, they had already turned over the ground. According to the book, Lu Lingxi scatters the seeds evenly, and then carefully covers them with a layer of nutrient soil.

    After finishing everything, Lu Lingxi quickly took a shower, and sat on the balcony with his long legs dangling, watching the fruits of his labor with satisfaction. Not sure when these seeds will germinate? When is the result? Will the resulting tomatoes taste good? He imagined that the small buds would grow up day by day, and the green fruits would bear, and then grow bigger and redder day by day, adorning the plants heavily, and couldn't help but smile.

    The first night after leaving the hospital, Lu Lingxi lost sleep. He turned around excitedly and couldn't fall asleep. All he thought about were big, red tomatoes. He couldn't wait to open his eyes and all the tomatoes in the backyard would grow the next day.

    That night, Yan Yue was also suffering from insomnia.

    Different from Lu Lingxi's inability to fall asleep because of excitement, Yan Yue's insomnia has become a habit. At two in the morning, Yan Yue pushed open the window, leaned against the window and lit a cigarette. He couldn't remember how many times in the past he couldn't sleep at night and waited for dawn from the middle of the night alone. Ye Kang said that his insomnia was a kind of mental illness, and he had to adjust it himself. On the surface, Yan Yue was noncommittal about Ye Kang's conclusion, but subconsciously he agreed with Ye Kang's words, otherwise he wouldn't have left Ye Kang, a half-hearted psychiatrist, tossing around for a few years.

    Yan Yue still remembers his first insomnia when he was six years old. That day, his parents moved away from Yan's house one after another, leaving only him, the housekeeper and a few helpers in the huge home. Although the parents had separated due to bad relationship before, the so-called family living together was only a formality, but that night, facing the empty house, Yan Yue still had a feeling that he was completely abandoned by his parents. All night, Yan Yue didn't sleep, but sat in the living room with a pillow until dawn, startling the housekeeper who got up early.

    From that day on, Yan Yue couldn't sleep more and more at night. He was used to wandering around the Yan family's mansion alone at night, and when he was tired from wandering, he would go back to his room to sleep. This continued for several years until he grew up and learned to control his behavior.

    The whole Yan family only knew about his insomnia. At first, the housekeeper was worried that he was afraid of the dark, so at night, he turned on all the lights in the Yan family that could be turned on. Later, when the housekeeper knew that he was insomnia, he wanted to turn off all the lights that could be turned off when it got dark. Over the years, the servants of the Yan family have become accustomed to sleeping as soon as it gets dark. Even in the years he stayed abroad, this habit of the Yan family's mansion has not changed.
