Pastoral Daily Life

Lu Lingxi and Yan Yue went to the flower garden again in the evening, and signed a land lease contract with Yu Xiaojuan. According to the law, the arable land in the rural areas of Huaguo has a 30-year contract period. During the contract period, the contractor has the right to transfer the land management contract right. Yu Xiaojuan's land was just divided the year before, and it will expire in 28 years. Lu Lingxi and Yan Yue discussed it and signed a five-year contract.

Because farming is not profitable now, most of these places are usually deserted, and it would be good to have someone rent it, and the rent is not very expensive. Calculated at 1,000 yuan a year for one mu of land, the total cost is less than 40,000 yuan. To Yan Yue, the money was nothing at all, but to Lu Lingxi, 40,000 yuan was equivalent to his three-month profit. This is just the premise of the investment. In the later stage, I have to buy seeds and plan flower beds. Winter is coming, and I have to build a greenhouse. Lu Lingxi calculated the money on the card, and once again deeply realized a problem, spending money is much faster than making money.

After finishing the lease contract, Lu Lingxi thought about asking Uncle Li to find another person. The size of the flowerbed has been doubled, and it is definitely not enough to rely on Uncle Li alone. And Uncle Li is also getting older, even if he says it's fine, Lu Lingxi doesn't worry.

After listening to Lu Lingxi's words, Uncle Li hesitated for a few seconds and asked tentatively, "What do you think of Yu Xiaojuan?"

Lu Lingxi was stunned for a moment, then looked at Yan Yue subconsciously. It is his own business to be soft-hearted and sympathetic to Xiaojuan, but micro-gardening is a common business between him and Yan Yue. It depends on Yan Yue's intention whether it is suitable to hire someone or not.

Receiving Lu Lingxi's gaze, Yan Yue nodded slightly. He had met Yu Xiaojuan before, and he had a good impression of Xiaojuan. The work of the garden is not heavy, on the contrary, it requires patience and meticulousness. Compared with finding someone who doesn't know the root cause, Yu Xiaojuan's having Uncle Li as bailout reassures them even more. Moreover, compared with the pure good-heartedness of the young man, Yan Yue looked more realistic.

Different from Wang Shuxiu's pungency, Yu Xiaojuan has a kind of submissive forbearance. She has no culture, and she is cautious towards them, and she is a little overwhelmed, but it can be seen from her attitude towards Uncle Li that she knows how to be grateful. At this time, hiring her to work in the garden is not only a help to her situation, but also a kind of identity recognition. Compared with people who come to work in the flower garden just for money, Yu Xiaojuan will be more attentive to the flower garden, or more dedicated to her work, thanks to her gratitude. Things are going well in the flowerbed, and Lu Lingxi can worry less in the future.

Yan Yue nodded, and Lu Lingxi immediately nodded to Uncle Li. Uncle Li looked at Lu Lingxi with a smile, "Little baby has a good heart, and a good person must be rewarded."

Yu Xiaojuan did not leave after signing the lease contract, and has been helping Grandma Li cook next door. In fact, she is not yet thirty this year, with long eyebrows and beautiful eyes, but the hardships and hardships of life make her look older than Wang Shuxiu. Hearing that Uncle Li said that Lu Lingxi's flower garden was going to hire someone and asked her to sign the contract, Yu Xiaojuan was stunned, and then her eyes turned slightly red.

She is stupid and can't say anything nice, so she stammered for a long time, "Uncle, I really didn't take the cell phone of the hotel guests, I must work hard in the flowerbed."

Uncle Li smiled and nodded.

That night, Lu Lingxi did not live in the flower garden, but rushed back to Fengcheng overnight. Yan Yue drove him all the way back to the community. The more we walked into the community, the more lush the weeds on the ground. Even the flower beds in the community that no one took care of on weekdays, the flowers inside were blooming exceptionally well.

Yan Yue glanced out the window, not only the weeds on the ground, but also many vegetables, fruits and vegetables grown in the small courtyard on the first floor looked good. Under the dim street lights, looking at the dilapidated community during the day, there is a feeling of an ecological garden.

This feeling becomes more and more obvious as it goes to the third building. The community where Lu Lingxi lives is nearly 30 years old. After decades of wind and rain, most of the walls of the residential buildings have peeled off, black spots are mottled, and occasionally moss is overgrown. ugly. However, I don't know what happened recently in Building No. 3 and the two adjacent buildings. Weeping tigers began to grow on the walls, and they climbed to the height of the third floor in a few days, just covering the peeling walls outside. Look. Looks a lot cleaner.

Standing downstairs in the community on a summer night, with cool breeze and green shade, the sweltering heat of the summer is almost swept away.

"It's here." Yan Yue retracted his gaze, parked the car steadily in front of the building, and said to Lu Lingxi in the co-pilot.

Lu Lingxi rolled his eyes, and while unfastening his seat belt, he urged, "Brother Yan, don't leave yet, I'll go pick some tomatoes for you to eat."

Lu Lingxi's tomatoes are already well-known in the community. From time to time, neighbors who have a good relationship with Wang Shuxiu come to the door and want to buy some to eat. During this period of time, Wang Shuxiu was looking for a house, and while she had nothing to do, she boiled tomato sauce and sold it at the steamed bun shop. The income was not bad, which strengthened her determination to open a small restaurant.

After listening to Lu Lingxi's words, Yan Yue smiled and said indulgently, "Okay."

The young man's mind is clean and beautiful. He doesn't seem to understand the world, and getting along with people is entirely out of his own heart. If you treat him well, he will be a little overwhelmed, and then give back hard. For example, tomatoes, which may not be worth a few dollars in the eyes of others, but these tomatoes are all grown by teenagers. In his eyes, these tomatoes are very good. He has no other complicated ideas. He simply shares what he thinks is good and repays the kindness of others. Dong Qi, Ye Kang, Uncle Li and even several old customers of Micro Gardening have all eaten tomatoes brought by Lu Lingxi. Of course, Yan Yue eats the most.

Lu Lingxi's figure quickly disappeared in the corridor, and Da Hei calmly followed behind him. Yan Yue looked at his back almost greedily, unable to satisfy this short-lived relationship in his heart. He wanted to spend more time with the boy, Yan Yue's eyes swept across the wall next to Lu Lingxi, and he tapped the steering wheel with his fingers to generate an idea.

Yan Yue was gone, and Lu Lingxi took Da Hei back to the house. Wang Shuxiu is cleaning canning bottles in the kitchen, these are used for tomato sauce.

Lu Lingxi wiped Da Hei's claws, washed his hands, and went to the kitchen to help. Wang Shuxiu asked a few questions about the flower garden, and sighed when Lu Lingxi mentioned Yu Xiaojuan. It is more difficult for women to live in the world than for men. I heard a lot of news that men have left, and women have worked hard to support their mother-in-law and children. Few women have left, and men have worked hard to take care of their mother-in-law. Most of them found another woman not long after, and simply left the child to the stepmother to raise. As for the ex-wife's mother-in-law, it would be conscientious to take a look at the New Year's Eve.

"It's not easy for everyone, it's a help if you can help." Wang Shuxiu said.

Lu Lingxi nodded obediently.

Wang Shuxiu hesitated and mentioned one thing. Brother Feng heard that she was looking for a house and contacted her specifically. Speaking of the house next to the chess and card room he opened, it just happened to be rented out. The door and face were all the right size and the price was not expensive, so she could have a look when she had time.

Wang Shuxiu had no problem with the house, but she was a little unhappy when she heard that it was next to the chess and card room. Brother Feng said it with good intentions. Listening to what Brother Feng said, the small restaurant has a fixed customer base. The people in the chess and card room happened to be eating in her small restaurant. Wang Shuxiu felt a little nervous in her heart. Lu Yishui had been hanging around in the chess and card room day and night without going home. She was ruthless and thought that it would be good for Lu Yishui to starve to death outside. The family members of those who came to the chess and card room might have the same thoughts as her. She now opens the restaurant next to the chess and card room, which makes it even more convenient for them not to go home, isn't it waiting to be stabbed in the spine?

But Wang Shuxiu asked someone to inquire, and the house Feng said was really suitable. The price is also very fair, and the location is good, not counting the chess and card room, and there are many passengers around. She was a little worried that if she missed this house for a while, she would not find other suitable houses. What should she do? You can't just sit back and eat. Besides, watching the little **** go out early and come back late every day, although she doesn't say it, she also knows that it is not easy to make money outside. The little **** wants to expand the size of the flowerbed recently, doesn't it all need money? You can't owe Yan Yue's favor all the time, that's not a good thing. She just thought that making some money earlier could help the little bastard.

Wang Shuxiu and Lu Lingxi said they also wanted to hear what Lu Lingxi meant, but Lu Lingxi was not as complicated as Wang Shuxiu thought, so she simply said, "Mum doesn't like it there.

Lu Lingxi has only met Brother Feng twice, but because of Lu Yishui gambling, his impression of Brother Feng is actually a little bad. Although Lu Yishui's gambling is his own business, and Wang Shuxiu is also grateful that Brother Feng did not implicate his family when he collected the gambling debts, Lu Lingxi still thinks that it would be better if Brother Feng didn't open a chess and card room.

"What if there is no other suitable house in the future?" Wang Shuxiu was a little worried.

"I can support my mother, and we can always sell tomato sauce." Lu Lingxi is very optimistic.

"Yes." Wang Shuxiu shook her hand, not wanting to owe Brother Feng's favor, let alone the house.

The two washed the cans and put them upside down on the cutting board one by one, waiting for the water inside to dry. Wang Shuxiu hurried Lu Lingxi to rest, "Stop reading, go to bed early, it's not too short of a while."

Lu Lingxi nodded, quickly finished the shower, and lay on the bed obediently. After thinking about it, he sent a text message to Yan Yue, "Brother Yan, are you home? I'm going to bed, good night."

Yan Yue looked at the text message with soft eyes, "Good night."

The next morning, Lu Lingxi was awakened by the sound of birds chirping outside. During this time, as the weeds in the community grew wildly, more and more birds gathered nearby. Grass means bugs, and bugs means food. At first, Lu Lingxi only saw sparrows, but gradually there were more and more species of birds outside, and magpies and swallows began to appear.

Lu Lingxi stretched and got out of bed, woke up early in the morning, and squatted beside the bed to guard Lu Lingxi.

Lu Lingxi rolled her eyes, every morning when she opened her eyes and saw Da Hei, she would feel in a good mood. He smiled and scratched Dahei's chin, and heard Wang Shuxiu and the neighbors talking outside.

"Xiaohua, this is a vegetable grown by our family. It has grown very well these days. Let's eat some tomatoes in your house."

"This vegetable is a little big, don't you use medicine at home?"

"Wang Xiaohua, don't look down on others, our family's dishes are all for themselves to eat, and they look good because I serve them well. Whoever is crazy will take medicine."

"Okay, wait for me to pick some tomatoes."

Lu Lingxi frowned uncomfortably, shook Dahei's paw, and whispered, "Dahei, do you think the changes in the community have something to do with the white panel?"

Da Hei looked at him quietly and let out a low cry.

Lu Lingxi became apprehensive, "You think so too? But..." He hesitated: "This is actually a good change, right?"

Da Hei came over, stuck out his tongue and licked Lu Lingxi's chin, and let out a low cry.

Lu Lingxi was a little relieved, "That's good, then I can rest assured."

Da Hei called out again, as if responding to Lu Lingxi's words.
