Pastoral Daily Life

Chapter 32: Have a meal

    Yan Yue is coming to eat at home, and Wang Shuxiu is very cautious about this. Although she said that Lu Lingxi was careful to be deceived and helped to count the money, how could a mother really hope that her son would meet bad people. Since Yan Yue is Lu Lingxi's partner, Wang Shuxiu wanted to make a good impression on Yan Yue, and let Yan Yue help take care of Lu Lingxi.

    After sleeping, Wang Shuxiu first called her colleague Lin Mei to discuss the shift. Lin Mei and Wang Shuxiu have known each other for almost ten years, and their relationship has always been good. I heard that she was going to change shifts and agreed. After a few casual chats, Lin Mei's topic turned to Wang Shuxiu's job change.

    Lin Mei is a few years younger than Wang Shuxiu. Although she does not look younger than Wang Shuxiu, she is not much different. She just reported her resignation to KTV last week. In her words, she is old and can't stand staying up late for a long time. Lin Mei knew Wang Shuxiu's situation very well. It was the old **** Lu Yishui who had dragged her down before, and Wang Shuxiu had to fight her life to support her family. Now that Wang Shuxiu and Lu Yishui are divorced, and Lu Lingxi is sensible, Lin Mei persuades Wang Shuxiu not to fight like this. Isn't the money earned from a broken body a cheap hospital? Besides, she and Lu Lingxi met so early in the morning and every night for a while. Lu Lingxi had just been discharged from the hospital, so Wang Shuxiu didn't want her son?

    Lin Mei has mentioned this topic several times. Wang Shuxiu was a little moved by what she said, but what can Wang Shuxiu do after resigning? She is old and has no culture, so what can she do?

    When Wang Shuxiu said this, Lin Mei smiled and said, "What's the worry about this? If you really quit your job, go set up a stall to sell your tomatoes, and keep the fire going."

    Lin Mei has eaten tomatoes brought to her by Wang Shuxiu several times, and I really miss the taste. Last time, Wang Shuxiu brought her a bottle of tomato sauce, which shocked Lin Mei's family. Lin Mei's youngest son even clamored to live in Aunt Wang's house and eat tomato sauce every day, which Lin Mei told Wang Shuxiu as a joke.

    Lin Mei said this, Wang Shuxiu looked at the backyard subconsciously. I don't know how the little **** planted it. The tomatoes grew one after another, and at a glance, the fruit was hanging heavily. But if you really want to say that these are no problem for them to eat at ordinary times, if you want to sell it, it is definitely not enough.

    Wang Shuxiu laughed first. She was really turned around by Lin Mei, and she really wanted to sell tomatoes.

    Talked to Lin Mei again, Wang Shuxiu checked that it was getting late, and hurriedly changed into her usual clothes, pulling the cart to the vegetable market. After buying a chicken, some spare ribs, and a bunch of vegetables, Wang Shuxiu was hesitating at the seafood stall whether to buy some fresh prawns when she heard a muffled groan behind her. As soon as she turned around, Brother Feng stood behind her, twisting the arm of a small man. The purse in her pocket was in the hand of the small man.

    Because of Lu Yishui gambling, Wang Shuxiu and Feng brother are also familiar. After the initial stunned, Wang Shuxiu quickly realized what happened. Nodding hurriedly towards Brother Feng, Wang Shuxiu withdrew her wallet and smashed it on the head of the little man.

    Brother Feng: “…”

    "Look at what you are doing with your hands and feet. You can still make money every day by picking up rubbish. If you don't learn well and learn to steal money, you dare to steal from the old lady, and you are not nearby. Find out who I, Wang Shuxiu, are."

    Wang Shu was so ruthless that she smashed and scolded. The movement on her side quickly attracted the attention of the people around her, and when I heard that the thief was caught, a circle of people came up. A few who found that they had lost their wallets even pushed to the front and pulled the little man to rummage through their wallets.

    The little man was tightly grasped by Brother Feng, unable to struggle, he could only lower his head and shout: "Don't fight, I won't dare to steal again."

     Brother Feng didn't speak, he just kept looking at Wang Shuxiu. Don't look at how bad the little one is, how powerful Wang Shuxiu can be, even if she looks amazing, it's actually a bluff. Brother Feng had heard of Wang Shuxiu being pungent before, and he had seen it once when he and Lu Yishui went to the house to pull something. But this time Wang Shuxiu was far beyond his expectations. Brother Feng thought of Lu Yishui who was thrown to the northwest for coal mining, and when he looked at Wang Shuxiu again, a smile appeared in his eyes.

    Seeing that Wang Shuxiu was almost out of breath, Brother Feng stopped her. "Okay, there's the police station in front of you, send him there."

    "Yes, yes, you have to send it to the police station." While agreeing with Brother Feng's proposal, an old aunt did not forget to catch the little one. People like them who often come to the vegetable market hate thieves the most.

    Wang Shuxiu put away her wallet and smiled at Brother Feng, "Thank you for this time. Next time you go to sing, I will ask the supervisor to give you a 20% discount."

    Brother Feng was noncommittal to her words, glanced at the cart on the ground, "Don't go to work today?"

    Wang Shuxiu nodded, Brother Feng gave her a thoughtful look, twisted the little man and pushed the crowd away.

    When Lu Lingxi and Yan Yue got home in the evening, Wang Shuxiu was almost cooked. Seeing Yan Yue's first glance, Wang Shuxiu couldn't help muttering in her heart. She has worked in KTV for many years, and her eyes are very sharp. Just looking at Yan Yue standing there doesn't look like someone who wants to raise 100,000 yuan to open a gardening shop with a little bastard. The little **** has amnesia and doesn't understand anything, but Wang Shuxiu finds it strange.

    It's just the first time for Yan Yue and Lu Lingxi's guest, so Wang Shuxiu is not good at not giving face. After a polite greeting from Tong Yanyue, Wang Shuxiu instructed Lu Lingxi to accompany Yanyue in the living room, and she went to cook the remaining two dishes.

    "Oh." Lu Lingxi replied obediently, and greeted Yan Yue: "Brother Yan, sit down."

    Yan Yue smiled politely with Wang Shuxiu, and sat down with the commander of Lu Lingxi. On this side just now, not only Wang Shuxiu was surprised, but Yan Yue was also very surprised. On the way back, Yan Yue had already taken a lot of words from Lu Lingxi's mouth. He thought he had a general understanding of the boy's mother, but only after meeting, he realized that his understanding might need to be re-evaluated. Thinking of the other party's scrutiny just now, Yan Yue smiled bitterly in his heart. He also knew that he didn't look like someone who would partner with Lu Lingxi to open a store, but he really couldn't find any other chance to be reasonably tied with Lu Lingxi.

    Yan Yue himself understood Wang Shuxiu's vigilance. It can be seen that Wang Shuxiu and Lu Lingxi have a very good relationship, and they are instinctual protection for the teenager. If Lu Lingxi was raised by his side, good-looking, well-behaved and sensible, he would probably worry like Wang Shuxiu whether those who approached the teenager had ulterior motives.

    The thought flashed, and Yan Yue's heart moved. If he really lives with the teenager... Every day he gets up with the teenager, goes to micro-gardening, waters and changes pots together, and takes Da Hei for a walk together after get off work. Just imagining this kind of life makes him uncontrollable. .

     

    The Lu family's house is not big, the living room is especially small, a wooden table with four chairs occupies almost one-third of the place. Lu Lingxi took Yan Yue to sit down, and said to him like a treasure: "Brother Yan, sit down first, and I'll go pick some tomatoes for you to eat."

    Yan Yue nodded with a smile and put the fruit he brought on the table. When he wanted to buy fruit before, Lu Lingxi resolutely refused to let him, or he joked that the first time he came to the door empty-handed was not good-looking, Lu Lingxi reluctantly agreed with him to buy some. At that time, the teenager told him seriously that the fruit was not delicious, and the tomatoes he grew were much better than the ones bought outside. Yan Yue still remembered the expression on the face of the owner of the fruit shop when he heard this sentence when he passed by them, his smile became stiff.

    When Lu Lingxi said picking tomatoes, Da Hei's ears swished up. When Lu Lingxi opened the screen door on the balcony, Da Hei rushed out like an arrow.

    "Da Hei, you have already eaten today's share in the morning." Lu Lingxi pulled Da Hei and tried to reason with it. Dahei likes to eat tomatoes grown in the backyard. If he doesn't care, he can eat up all the tomatoes in the backyard in one day, and Dahei knows how to pick and eat the ripe ones. Lu Lingxi was worried that he would eat too much and eat badly, so he had to limit the amount he could eat every day.

    As soon as he opened his mouth, Da Hei crouched down in a dejected manner, wagging his tail quickly towards Lu Lingxi. Lu Lingxi's small face remained unmoved, Da Hei narrowed his eyes, straightened his back legs and put his two front claws together, and wooed Lu Lingxi with a whisper.

    Lu Lingxi: "…"

    The puppies in Brother Dong's pet shop often do this action, grabbing Brother Dong's legs and begging him for food. It looks cute. I don't know when Da Hei learned it. But the problem is that there are puppies around Brother Dong, and he straightens up to Brother Dong's thigh at most. On the other hand, Da Hei's body was slender, and when he straightened up, he was about to catch up with Lu Ling Xi Gao. Lu Lingxi lowered his head slightly and met Da Hei's furry face, he silently looked at Da Hei and compromised, "Eat another."

    The **** immediately put down his front paws and squatted on the ground, and rubbed against Lu Lingxi's calf affectionately. Lu Lingxi touched its head and couldn't help it.

    Because it was about to eat soon, Lu Lingxi only picked a few tomatoes and planned to let Yan Yue taste it first. If Yan Yue liked it, he would bring more for Yan Yue when he left.

    He went to the kitchen to wash the tomatoes, Wang Shuxiu looked rather uncomfortable. It wasn't that she was reluctant to bear these tomatoes, but she felt that the little bastard's attitude towards Yan Yue was too warm. When it was time to eat, Wang Shuxiu's feeling became even more obvious.

    Two drumsticks, Lu Lingxi gave Wang Shuxiu one first, and Yan Yue another, and said seriously, "Brother Yan, eat it, my mother's stewed chicken is delicious."

    For a plate of braised pork in tomato sauce, Lu Lingxi took a spoonful for Yan Yue and recommended: "My mother's best tomato sauce, it's very delicious."

    The steamed glutinous rice ribs are cooked, Lu Lingxi first picked one piece for Wang Shuxiu, and then picked another piece for Yan Yue, and said proudly with his eyes bent: "The ribs are also super delicious, Yi Hang finished it last time. Almost couldn't move."

    The little **** described only delicious food. Although he was praising himself, Wang Shuxiu still felt that the little bastard's attitude towards Yan Yue made her uncomfortable.

    The same thing has different feelings, if Wang Shuxiu is uncomfortable, Yan Yue needs to desperately suppress her inner happiness, and try to put on a calm look, in case she accidentally loses her temper and is seen by Wang Shuxiu what comes out.

     Halfway through the meal, Wang Shuxiu asked casually, "How did Mr. Yan meet Xiaoxi?"

    Yan Yue put down his chopsticks and looked calm, "Because Da Hei knew him."

    "Da Hei?" Wang Shuxiu only knew that Da Hei used to be a stray dog, but was adopted by Lu Lingxi.

    Lu Lingxi added: "When it was raining in Dahei, I didn't pay attention to being hit by a car. It was Brother Yan who saw Dahei and sent him to Brother Dong. Brother Yan likes Dahei very much and often When I go to see Da Hei, I know Big Brother Yan."

    After Lu Lingxi finished speaking, Wang Shuxiu's heart was less guarded, so it sounds like Yan Yue is pretty good, so she shouldn't deceive the little bastard. Da Hei, who was squatting on Lu Ling's west leg and eating bibimbap with tomato braised pork, hummed twice when he heard this. Wang Shuxiu laughed and scolded, "Da Hei, what are you messing with?"

    Lu Lingxi always felt that Da Hei was smart and affirmed: "Da Hei must have heard us talking about it."

    Wang Shuxiu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said casually: "Okay, Da Hei is the smartest, the little **** eats quickly, the ribs will be cold."

    She used to call Lu Lingxi the little bastard, so she called out in front of Yan Yue. Both mother and son didn't care, Yan Yue was stunned for a while, looking at Wang Shuxiu and then at Lu Lingxi, his eyes slowly got a smile.

    "Little bastard." He repeated these three words in his mind. Although the name was vulgar, it was unusually intimate. This is the warmth that Yan Yue has never felt before, and he understands a little why Lu Lingxi will be proud when he talks about Wang Shuxiu.

    After the three of them finished their meal, Wang Shuxiu quickly packed up. Lu Lingxi wanted to help, but was kicked out of the kitchen by Wang Shuxiu. "Just a few bowls, don't make a mess."

    Lu Lingxi couldn't beat Wang Shuxiu, so he washed the fruits that Yan Yue brought before and brought them out.

    Yan Yue jokingly said with the corners of his mouth hooked: "I've eaten the tomatoes you planted, and these fruits can't be eaten anymore."

    He didn't say this to please Lu Lingxi, but after he tasted the tomatoes, he really felt that the taste was quite good. Sweet and sour, the mouth is lubricated, no wonder the boy gave it to him like a treasure at first.

    Lu Lingxi rolled her eyes: "Brother Yan, you like to eat, I'll pick some more for you when I leave."

    He did what he said, and immediately dragged Yan Yue to the backyard. As soon as he got to the balcony, a strange color flashed in Yan Yue's eyes. He had not been able to see clearly in the living room before, but when he went to the balcony, he saw that the tomatoes were full of bright red and plump, adorned heavily on the green plants. I don't know if it was Yan Yue's illusion, but he just felt that standing here was not at all sultry in the summer evening, just like staying in micro-gardening.

    "Brother Yan, sit here and wait for me."

    There is a chair under the steps of the balcony, Lu Lingxian Dun Yan Yue sat down and waited for him. It's fine for him to step on flip-flops to the ground, but Yan Yue's leather shoes are not suitable to go in. Yan Yue nodded with a smile, noting that there was a book on the chair. He picked it up and took a look at the "Compendium of Common Flower Cultivation". When he opened it, the blank margins were filled with notes made by the teenager, with neat and dense handwriting. Yan Yue remembered the compliments the customers in the store had given to the boy, and he didn't know how much effort the boy had put in where they couldn't see it.

    Yan Yue was not very interested in the content of the book, and focused on the teenager's notes. He stretched out his fingers and rubbed the writing on it, imagining the scene when the young man was writing these things seriously, and the corners of his mouth turned up unconsciously.

    In the center of the book is a piece of white paper, which is some precautions marked by Lu Lingxi. It can be seen that the teenager wrote it down casually, and there is still half of the unfinished black in the bottom corner. Although there are only a few strokes, it vividly outlines the appearance of Da Hei stealing tomatoes.

    Yan Yue's smile deepened, he folded the piece of paper and quietly put it into his pocket. He thought with some regret, if only the portrait below was not Dahei but himself.
