Pastoral Daily Life

     Tukang in the countryside was a completely novel experience for Lu Lingxi.

    He sat on the edge of the kang and kicked the bottom curiously. Da Hei curled up on the kang head like he was at home, just right and left to separate him and Yan Yue.

    "Can a fire really be made under this?" Lu Lingxi took off his shoes and got on the kang, patted the hard edge of the kang, and asked Yan Yue curiously across the dark.

    Yan Yue also slept on the kang for the first time. He smiled and said, "We can try it when it's cold, and we'll know if we can."

    Lu Lingxi didn't hear the latent meaning of this sentence, and agreed with bright eyes. He was really tired today and fell asleep not long after turning off the lights. The night in the suburbs is very quiet, without the friction of passing vehicles on the road, nor the noise of the roadside food stalls, only the occasional accompaniment of insects, accompanied by the clear moonlight spreading into the house, weaving a peaceful dream.

    Yan Yue thought that he would not be able to sleep, but he did not expect to close his eyes and wake up to dawn amid the sound of insects. There was no insomnia or nightmares, and the fragrance of grass and trees seemed to surround him all night, so much so that he ignored Da Hei's snoring.

    At six o'clock, Yan Yue woke up. He used to be used to insomnia, and he was always self-disciplined, rarely sleeping 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 unexpectedly made him feel at ease. As soon as there was movement on his side, Da Hei opened his eyes and straightened up to look over. Yan Yue sat up and stared at the squatting Da Hei for a long while. In a good mood, he stretched out his hand and scratched Da Hei's chin like Lu Lingxi did. He smiled softly: "Don't make a noise, be careful to wake Xiao Xi up."

      A layer of golden halo, so that there is no trace of blasphemy in life. The two stayed too hastily last night, and they didn't bring any change of clothes. When going to bed at night, Lu Lingxi only took off his shorts and slept together in a T-shirt as pajamas. As the night passed, the t-shirt had already been rolled to his chest by him, revealing his tender belly, which rose and fell gently with his breathing.

    Yan Yue's eyes slowly got a smile. Beyond the underwear with the big yellow duck printed on it, the long legs of the young man were exposed, and the sheets that were originally covered had already been kicked under his feet.

    The idea of ​​​​desiring to be close to the boy and touch the boy is frantically shouting, Yan Yue leaned over with obscure eyes and gently pulled out the sheet to cover the boy's body, and also covered the boy's exposed body part.

    Although Lu Lingxi is not as tall as him, the ratio is just right. Yan Yue himself has 186, and Lu Lingxi is half his head lower than him, so it should be around 178. However, Lu Lingxi is only 18 and should continue to grow taller.

    Yan Yue quickly put on his clothes and pushed open the door while thinking about various thoughts to distract him from his desire to be close to the boy. He remembered that Lu Lingxi had said last night that the repotted green plants had to be re-watered this morning. In order to prevent the teenager from getting too tired, he was also looking for something to distract himself. After a simple wash, Yan Yue found the plastic pot in the flowerbed and started watering.

    When Uncle Li came over and called for the two to eat, he saw Yan Yue bent over and inserted bamboo sticks in the flowerpot to see if the soil below was all soaked. The old man laughed all of a sudden, 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 think of a way, I can also think of a way. It's just that this method is a bit stupid. It's not like Xiaoxi's doll. It only needs a glance to know if there is enough water.

    But it's no wonder that Yan Yue doesn't look like someone who is playing with these things, and looks a lot like the white-collar workers he sees on TV. The old man walked over with a smile, "Where's Xiaoxi?"

    Yan Yue looked back and saw Uncle Li greet him politely, "Xiaoxi is still sleeping."

    Uncle Li showed a distressed look on his face, "Oh, but I was exhausted yesterday, so let the baby sleep for a while. I'll warm the rice for you, remember to eat it later."

    Yan Yue was about to nod and agree when Lu Lingxi rubbed his eyes and pushed the door out. "Brother Yan?"

    "Awake?" Yan Yue put down the kettle and walked over.

    Lu Lingxi was completely awake when she walked out the door, and saw Uncle Li smiling embarrassedly, "Are you here?"

    Uncle Li likes Lu Lingxi, and the little doll is so cute when she looks white and tender. "Go wash your face quickly. I boiled porridge and steamed sweet potatoes at home. It won't taste good when it's cold."

    "Yeah." Lu Lingxi rolled his eyes, he was too tired from work last night, he is really hungry now, so he is not polite.

    Uncle Li's breakfast is very delicious. The thick white porridge is paired with refreshing and delicious side dishes. There are also steamed soft sweet potatoes, and there is a sweet smell that permeates the pan as soon as they are brought out of the pot. Lu Lingxi had never seen such directly steamed sweet potatoes before. He also ate sweet potatoes when he was in the Lu family, but they were already processed sweet potato cakes, which had lost the original taste of sweet potatoes.

    Uncle Li broke half of the sweet potatoes and handed them to Lu Lingxi. The sweet potatoes that had just come out of the pot were still a little hot, and when he sniffed them at such a close distance, the sweetness pierced his nose one after another. Lu Lingxi blew two bites at the sweet potato, wanting to eat it but also afraid of being hot. His embarrassed look fell into Yan Yue's eyes, Yan Yue was both funny and helpless, and he didn't say anything, just watching Lu Lingxi worry alone.

    Uncle Li was very happy to see that Lu Lingxi likes to eat sweet potatoes, and immediately ordered his family to decorate sweet potatoes and let Lu Lingxi take them back to eat. Their sweet potatoes are all grown by themselves, without any pesticides, and they are absolutely natural. Lu Lingxi heard a move in his own grower's heart. He also wanted to grow some sweet potatoes in the backyard, but this year is too late, so he can only wait for next year.

    After eating, the two returned to the small courtyard to clean up and prepare to go back to the city. Lu Lingxi scanned it again, and all the green plants that had been repotted had been watered, and they were all well watered. There was no such thing as a dry under the surface layer of the freshly wet soil, nor was it dripping all over the place with too much water.

    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 were upturned, and he praised vigorously: "Brother Yan, you are really amazing, and the watering of these potted plants is just right."

    This is the second time that Lu Lingxi has complimented him, Yan Yue is a little bit dumbfounded, it seems that he is really talented in serving these flowers and plants. However, Yan Yue hooked the corner of his mouth and looked at Lu Lingxi, "Xiaoxi is more powerful, you can know the watering situation at a glance."

    He only meant to praise Lu Lingxi, but he didn't expect this sentence to hit Lu Lingxi's guilty conscience. Lu Lingxi glanced at Yan Yue secretly, making sure that there was no strange expression on Yan Yue's face, and then he was relieved.

    The way back was slightly congested, just in time for the morning rush hour for work. Lu Lingxi had been raised at home before, but now he has a job, but this is the first time he has intuitively faced the crowd of people who get up early for work. The two were stuck on the highway into the city, with cars in front and back. Yan Yue comforted him and said, "There is a toll booth in front. It's better to pass the toll booth."

    Lu Lingxi nodded, he is not in a hurry, how can he say that he is also one of the small bosses of micro gardening now, and his partner is sitting next to him, Yan Yue will never accuse him of being lazy Don't work.

    When he said this, the more Yan Yan couldn't help laughing.

    When Lu Lingxi first met Yan Yue, Yan Yue rarely laughed. He would feel that Yan Yue was cold-hearted because he always saw Yan Yue's expressionless face. But now that the two were familiar with each other, Lu Lingxi found that Yan Yue actually laughed, not the kind of smile that raised the corners of his mouth, but a real smile.

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

    Yan Yue glanced at him with a smile and nodded.

    The vehicle in front began to creep slowly, and just as Yan Yue was about to catch up, the traffic stopped again. In normal times, Yan Yue must have been in a grumpy mood at this time, but because Lu Lingxi was sitting beside him, it seemed that even the traffic jam had become something tolerable and even somewhat enjoyable.

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

    "Hey, what's the matter?"

    An Jie's tone was a little heavy, and it also meant that Yan Yue felt wronged. "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 dim. Half a month ago, Professor Susan's office was stolen. Then, just as Yan Yue had expected, a news spread in the company headquarters in Zhongjing that he had been seeing a doctor for so many years abroad, and even he refused to return to China after graduation because his illness had not healed. According to rumors, he saw a psychiatrist and became a psychiatrist, and everyone seemed to be convinced that he was a psychopath.

    Yan Yue did not come forward to explain this matter, he seemed to know nothing. Soon, Yan Shihui called him back to Zhongjing. Both father and son actually knew exactly what was going on. It's just that in Yan Shihui's eyes, whether it is mental illness or mental illness, Yan Yue really has a problem. He euphemistically expressed that Yan Yue should not have too much pressure, and that his health is more important. Yan Yue understood Yan Shihui's suggestion, gave up his overseas position knowingly and wisely, and spent a week handing over the specific work matters. This is also the reason why he has been busy recently and has not appeared in front of Lu Lingxi.

    Yan Yue's concession is only the first step, he is waiting for his father's follow-up reaction. For Hope Group, the overseas market is very important. Yan Shihui must put a person he can trust, and this candidate can see his true attitude towards Yan Yue.

    Yan Hai!

    A sneer flashed across 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 N.T Group?"

    Yan Yue wrote lightly: "Stop the negotiation. Re-contact the people of N.T in the name of Dezhi Investment. You send me the relevant information and I will give them a call."

    "Good!"

      Some time ago, it seemed that a breakthrough was about to occur, but Yin Qinglan was clamoring for Yan Yue to return to China, and the follow-up follow-up Yan Yue was handed over to An Jie. Anjie had persuaded Yan Yue before to contact N.T in the name of Dezhi Investment and win the project. Yan Yue rejected An Jie's proposal after considering it. 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 everything will be different now.

    The two said 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 is more regretful, but more annoyed. He was unprepared for Lu Lingxi, and he made no secret of his calculations on Hepu on the phone. I wonder what Lu Lingxi will think of him after hearing this? The young man's heart is pure, and he has just stepped into the society and has never been exposed to these at all. Will he think he is 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, and there was a little bit of understanding. Yan Yue wanted to explain, but didn't know how to speak.

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

    He didn't mean to listen to Yan Yue talking on the phone, but it was hard not to hear the two of them sitting together. He had never asked Yan Yue's identity before, because of the blackness, he had already decided in his heart 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 time, he thought that Yan Yue was what he saw. But this phone call made him realize that the gentle-hearted Yan Yue who likes small animals and flowers and plants he saw was only one aspect of it, and there were many other aspects that he had not seen.

    The things Yan Yue mentioned on the phone reminded him of the Lu family in the past. Several uncles fought over the family property, and the atmosphere of the Lu family's mansion would be very strange when they got together during the Chinese New Year. Lu Lingxi actually didn't understand, what's the point of such a life?

    He pretended to sneak a glance at Yan Yue, and he was even more confused.
