Pastoral Daily Life

    The number of potted plants ordered by Brother Han is quite large. Apart from some small potted plants placed on desks and window sills, some are to be placed in corridors and corners of the office. The latter, Lu Lingxi, helped Brother Han to select more than 30 large-leaf radish and fortune trees. These green plants are usually not placed in the store because they take up too much space. If necessary, they must be prepared in the flowerbed.

    Lu Lingxi plans to go to the flower garden after closing the store, and change these green plants into pots in advance, as well as the green plants in the micro gardening store, all need to be replaced in pots.

    After earnestly keeping the accounts, Lu Lingxi found out the apron with the happy print that Du Lin had prepared for him and put it on her body. He was wearing shorts today, and the apron fell just over the edge of the shorts. From the front, the boy was wearing an apron, which unexpectedly matched the naive sheep printed on it. A smile appeared in Yan Yue's eyes, and he asked, "What do you want to do?"

    Lu Lingxi took out a few pots from under the cash register, pointed it to him, and explained, "The green plants ordered by Brother Han need to be in the same pot, and the pots must be changed before delivery."

    The green plants in the micro gardening store are all uniform plastic pots, except for a few pots of particularly prosperous begonias that are matched with porcelain pots. Because the plastic pots are cheap, the store will give them free as a top-up when the general customer consumes them. However, most customers do not like plastic pots and will buy other flower pots, which is another main income of micro-gardening besides green plants. Brother Han's list cost a lot of money for more than 100 pots.

    Lu Lingxi was about to move the spider plant hanging on top of her head, but Yan Yue stopped him in time, "I'll come."

    Lu Lingxi blinked, compared the heights of the two, and obediently stepped aside. Due to the small scale of micro-gardening, Du Lin thought of a lot of methods in order to make reasonable use of the space, one of which was the ceiling. Many hanging and climbing plants were hung above her head.

    Lu Lingxi usually needs to step on a small stool for watering and caring, but Yan Yue only needs to stand on tiptoe and stretch out his arms, and he can easily pick off the spider plants that he can't reach.

    "What else do you need?" Yan Yue placed the Chlorophytum in the corner of the wall according to Lu Lingxi's command, and looked at Lu Lingxi with the corner of her mouth slightly hooked.

    Lu Lingxi looked at his height with envy, and pointed to a few potted plants, all of which needed to be taken down and replaced.

    Yan Yue rolled up his sleeves to get it, "Wait." Lu Lingxi suddenly thought of something and stopped him.

    Yan Yue was a little puzzled, Lu Lingxi had turned around and found another apron from behind the cashier and handed it to him. Generally, in order to keep the clothes from getting dirty when working in the store, one has to wear an apron, not to mention Yan Yue's shirt and trousers at this time. At first glance, he looks like a well-dressed elite. It really doesn't look like a gardening store. Lu Lingxi thought it would be better to put an apron on Yan Yue.

    Yan Yue looked at the gray wolf handed over, and quickly laughed, frowning slightly, "I wear it?"

    Lu Lingxi also felt that this apron was not suitable for Yan Yue, but there was no other suitable, so she smiled embarrassedly and explained, "It's not good to get your clothes dirty."

    The young man looked at him with bright eyes, his eyelashes fluttered like butterfly wings, and the pear vortex at the corner of his mouth was looming. Now Yan Yue finally understood what a "beauty plan" was. At this time, let's not say that he is wearing this funny apron in front of the boy. He is willing to let him wear it and walk around the street.

    Yan Yue quickly took it over, holding the thin apron strap around his neck, then turned around inadvertently and stood in front of Lu Lingxi, as if casually said: "Xiaoxi help me tie the back belt."

    "Well." Lu Lingxi didn't think otherwise, and naturally reached out from Yan Yue's back to the front and pulled the apron's strap. For a moment, Yan Yue felt that the young man seemed to be hugging him. Even though there was a thin layer of shirt, the heat of the skin contact made him shudder uncontrollably. This kind of feeling is too wonderful, Yan Yue only felt that his mind went blank for a moment, his heartbeat seemed to be stagnant, and a strong electric current flew through his whole body.

    Lu Lingxi fastened the belt and took a step back, softly said: "Okay."

    Yan Yue turned around almost holding her breath, struggling to squeeze a casual smile towards Lu Lingxi. Before contacting Lu Lingxi, he never knew that a hug that was not considered a hug would affect him so much. Lu Lingxi had already left, but the heat in his waist not only did not subside, but instead had the illusion of spreading to his whole body. He remembered the longing to touch Lu Lingxi the first time he saw Lu Lingxi, and he couldn't help but approach the boy again and again. This morbid longing seemed to have reached its peak at this moment. The contact with Lu Lingxi was like a poppy, once tasted the sweetness, he couldn't help but want more.

    "Brother Yan will give you gloves." Lu Lingxi didn't know Yan Yue's reaction, so he bent down and found another pair of gloves.

    Yan Yue took a deep breath, restrained all his thoughts, and tried his best to use a stable tone: "Okay."

    With the help of Yan Yue, the green plants that needed to be changed were quickly taken down. Lu Lingxi carefully piled them in the corner, then vacated a nearby seat, spread a large plastic sheet on the ground, and sat aside with a small stool.

    The repotting of green plants needs to be extra careful. One careless step may cut off the roots of the plants in the soil. Lu Lingxi has the help of the panel, so don't worry about this. He carefully held a pot of Chlorophytum, his mental scan spread out, and the distribution of plant roots was clearly seen. Avoiding the place where the root system is developed, Lu Lingxi took a small shovel and inserted it along the edge of the pot, shoveled the surrounding soil loose, and then carefully held the Chlorophytum and turned the plastic pot upside down and tapped the bottom of the pot.

    When Lu Lingxi was doing these things, he looked very serious, his eyes focused on the bowl in his hand, as if he was facing a living object. Yan Yue was fascinated, dragged another small stool and sat beside Lu Lingxi. The stool was a little short, and it was actually uncomfortable for him to sit with long arms and legs, but the seriousness of the young man resisted the discomfort. After the spider plant in the plastic pot fell out, Yan Yue handed over a pottery pot at the right time.

    Lu Lingxi was stunned for a moment, then looked up at Yan Yue and raised the corner of his mouth. After changing the pot of the spider plant in his hand, he patted the soil on his gloves and said to Yan Yue, "Brother Yan, if you are bored, you can go for a walk around, or take Da Hei to the opposite side to find Brother Dong, don't worry about me."

    Da Hei, who was lying quietly beside Lu Lingxi's leg, heard his name and let out a low cry, his hairy head rubbed against Lu Lingxi's calf, as if he was dissatisfied with his need to rush Go out on your own.

    Lu Lingxi patted Da Hei's head affectionately and smiled slightly.

    Yan Yue's eyes were hot, he shook his head and said seriously: "Tell me how to do it, I'll do it with you."

    Lu Lingxi rolled his eyes, "Okay." To his surprise, Yan Yue was very smart, he learned how to do it almost immediately, and he did it well. He looked at Yan Yue in surprise, "Brother Yan, you are amazing!"

    The surprise and admiration in the eyes of the young man did not hide, Yan Yue couldn't help but bask in some subtle satisfaction, when would he want to change a pot of Chlorophytum smoothly? feel proud. Being looked at by the young man like this, driven by some subtle sense of satisfaction, the drier Yan became more and more diligent.

    The two of them worked together, and the speed of changing pots was a little faster, and even then they were busy until Micro Gardening closed at seven o'clock. Lu Lingxi called Wang Shuxiu and said that he was going to a flower garden in the suburbs. Wang Shuxiu caught Lu Lingxi on the phone and asked for a long time.

    "Are you going alone?" "How long?" "What if I can't get a taxi when I come back at night?"

    Lu Lingxi patiently explained to Wang Shuxiu that he did not go alone but with Yan Yue. As for coming back at night, it's not a problem for Yan Yue to have a car. Lu Lingxi originally planned to go with Yi Hang, but he just mentioned a sentence in the afternoon, and Yan Yue said that he would go. Originally, micro-gardening was his and Lu Lingxi's business, so why bother others?

    Lu Lingxi thought about it. Although Yi Hang is not someone else, but a part-time job he is looking for. Because the flowerbed is in the suburbs, he needs to visit often, and the flowers in the flowerbed need a car to be brought to the store or similar to this delivery. Yi Hang's family has a golden cup that his father has eliminated. When Lu Lingxi went to deliver tomatoes to Yi Hang last time, he agreed to go to Yi Hang directly when he needed a car. Every time I use the car, I will write it down, and the payment will be settled at the end of the month. Yan Yue also knew this. Since Yan Yue insisted on going this time, he also saved the time to find Yi Hang. And this time I went to repot the green plants. The better the face, the more skilled he was, and he was much more useful than Yi Hang.

    Before going to the garden, the two had to find a place to eat.

    "I'm not familiar with this area, what would you like to eat, Xiaoxi?" Yan Yue asked.

    Lu Lingxi glanced around hesitantly, and said shyly, "Brother Yan, do you want to eat beef noodles? I invite you to eat noodles."

    This street is close to some old communities. There are basically small restaurants nearby, and there is no particularly decent place to eat. Lu Lingxi didn't care, he was worried that Yan Yue was not used to it, so he thought about beef noodles. There is a beef noodle restaurant just behind the street. Don't look at the face, but his noodles are very delicious. Especially the stewed beef inside is soft and rotten, which has a kind of melt-in-your-mouth meaning.

    Yan Yue is not picky when it comes to food, he wanted to say that he invited him to dinner, but looking at the expectant eyes of the boy, he said nothing but nodded.

    As soon as the two passed by, the noodle seller greeted Lu Lingxi with a smile, "Xiaoxi, come to eat noodles?"

    Lu Lingxi nodded with a shy smile, pulled Yan Yue and sat down.

    "Two bowls of beef noodles?" The aunt asked Lu Lingxi with a smile.

    Lu Lingxi hummed and added, "An extra bowl of beef."

    A bowl of beef noodles in the store costs ten yuan. There are noodles and meat. Some customers like to eat the taste of beef. An extra bowl of beef is 20 yuan.

    Two bowls of beef noodles were quickly brought up. The hot noodles were dotted with several pieces of beef. The green chopped green onions were evenly sprinkled around, and there was a faint fragrance wafting around. Lu Lingxi pushed a small bowl of beef that was added separately in front of Yan Yue. "Brother Yan, you add it to the noodles, it's really delicious."

    The boy looked at him seriously, as if he was afraid that he would not believe it. Yan Yue's heart instantly softened into a pool of water, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, "Eat together."

    After the two finished eating the noodles, they bought some food for Da Hei nearby. After seeing that it was getting late, they drove to the flower garden without further delay. At this time, I had basically avoided the evening rush hour after get off work, and the journey went smoothly. It only took 40 minutes to get out of the city.

    Lu Lingxi called Uncle Li on the phone and told Uncle Li that they were coming. I was afraid that Uncle Li would be in trouble when he heard the movement here and thought it was a thief. Unexpectedly, when they arrived, they found that Uncle Li was waiting for them in the flowerbed, and even packed out the pots they needed in advance, and cleaned them all carefully.

    Lu Lingxi was a little embarrassed, and felt that he was tossing Uncle Li so late.

    Uncle Li smiled honestly, "Linzi can only come here at this time in the evening. I have to wait for get off work over there. I'm used to it. The little baby is fine, the village has nothing to do at night, so I just found something to pass the time."

    Lu Lingxi rolled her eyes and thanked him politely.

    The previous steps were omitted, and several people were busy starting to change the basin. The green dill and the fortune tree cultivated by micro-gardening grow well, and each is half a person tall. Coupled with the soil that wraps the root system, one person can't lift it at all, and it takes two people to change the pot smoothly.

    Lu Lingxi thought it was simple beforehand, thinking that it was similar to the mode of changing pots for small potted plants. It wasn't that easy until he got it right. Even though he and Yan Yue knew the steps, they still made mistakes frequently.

    After finally changing half of the pots, Lu Lingxi was really tired, so he found a stone and sat down, wiping his sweat and saying to Yan Yue, "Brother Yan, let's take a break."

    Yan Yue's physical strength is much better than that of Lu Lingxi. He is not too tired, but it hurts to see Lu Lingxi like this. "Let's do it tomorrow." Yan Yue suggested.

    Lu Lingxi thought for a while and shook his head, "Forget it, it's all done after I come today, it's just a little too late."

    It's almost 11 o'clock, Uncle Li was persuaded by Lu Lingxi to go back to rest. Why would it be early in the morning after all the basins have been replaced, is Lu Lingxi hesitant to rush back to the city? The things in the small courtyard are quite complete, and the occupants are completely fine. Du Lin lived here occasionally for a day at that time. She took Lu Lingxi to see it when she was handed over last time. Everything in the house was quite new. When she left, Du Lin left all of it with Lu Lingxi.

    Seeing Lu Lingxi's hesitation, Yan Yue's eyes darkened, and he tried his best to calmly say, "If it's too late, just rest here for a night."

    Lu Lingxi thought about it and agreed.

    The two rested for a while, and then replaced all the flowerpots at the back. After a simple wash, Lu Lingxi found a clean sheet from the cabinet to make the bed. Because Du Lin had lived there once in a while before, only one room that could live in the courtyard was cleaned up, and the rest were full of clutter.

    Yan Yue's heart thumped, even though he knew it was just a simple sleep, but as long as he thought of the boy lying beside him, the clamor in his heart could not be suppressed. . After washing his face with cold water, Yan Yue pushed open the door as calmly as possible. He thought about all kinds of scenarios, but he forgot the existence of Da Hei.

    On the earthen kang built in the countryside, the teenager sat on the side with a smile, lying in the middle with a black face, separating him and the teenager.

    Yan Yue: "…"
