Pastoral Daily Life

Yan Yue and Lu Lingxi had breakfast at Uncle Li's house the next day.

The two were still asleep, and Uncle Li came to the flowerbed to start watering the green plants. Lu Lingxi got up a little embarrassed to see that it was only six o'clock. Uncle Li saw Lu Lingxi's face full of smiles, "Let's go to sleep. I don't have much sleep when I'm old. You are still growing, little baby."

I slept a little late last night, and Lu Lingxi is still sleepy. But in front of Uncle Li, he was embarrassed to go back to sleep again. Yan Yue followed closely, and the two of them simply helped Uncle Li to work together.

At more than seven o'clock, Aunt Li came over to greet them for dinner. Knowing that Lu Lingxi and Yan Yue had come over yesterday, Aunt Li deliberately found the noodles. I got up early in the morning, poured water and mixed noodles, and pushed a basket of noodle rolls. This one was steamed with noodle rolls, and Aunt Li soaked some sun-dried mushrooms, chopped them up and fried them with diced meat, and made a portion of diced mushrooms. When steaming the noodle rolls, Aunt Li also steamed some potatoes separately, cooled them, peeled them, and smashed them, and mixed them with chili peppers, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar to make a cold dish. Now that these are done, they are waiting for them to eat.

Yan Yue and Lu Lingxi did not refuse and went home with Uncle Li. As soon as the two sat down at the dinner table, Aunt Li brought up the hot basket. As Aunt Li opened the cage, a strange fragrance hit her nostrils. Lu Lingxi had never heard of noodle rolls before, he looked into the cage with some curiosity, and saw rows of small rolls crowded side by side, a bit like the briquettes he had seen in books.

The noodle roll nests pushed by Aunt Li are very beautiful, each with a finger-length, as thin as a willow leaf at the entrance of the village, light yellow in color, pour a spoonful of mushroom meat diced brine, mix Together, a bite is simply unforgettable. Lu Lingxi couldn't help eating two bowls, and he almost couldn't put it down.

Uncle Li was very happy to see that he could eat, and was still persuading him, "Little baby eat more. Your aunt, she has been in good health recently, her arms are strong, and her face is stronger than she usually does. delicious."

Lu Lingxi smiled and nodded, but he didn't move his chopsticks, he really couldn't eat it. But Lu Lingxi listened to Uncle Li's words and said with concern, "Auntie hasn't had any pain in her legs recently?"

"No pain." Uncle Li was even happier when he said this. "It's been almost a month. Your aunt has never been in pain, even the last time it rained, nothing happened."

Aunt Li inserted a sentence here, "It's all blessed by the tree god."

Uncle Li looked at her helplessly, "What does this have to do with that big willow tree?"

"Of course it has something to do with it." The old couple chatted in front of the guests. Lu Lingxi and Yan Yue looked at each other and laughed at the same time. Even if Uncle Li and Aunt Li were bickering, Lu Lingxi could feel the strong feeling between the two. Will he and Big Brother Yan be like this when they get old?

Uncle Li couldn’t say anything about Aunt Li, so he could only resign helplessly, and changed the topic to take advantage of the situation and mentioned the meeting in the village yesterday. It still has something to do with the big willow tree at the entrance of the village. During this period of time, as the news of the dead and resurrection of the big willow tree spread in the surrounding villages, more and more old men and women came to burn some paper and kowtow under the big willow tree when they had nothing to do. I don't know what the village chief is thinking, but on the surface, it has to be said that this is a feudal superstition, so that people in the village should not go out to spread it. After talking about the big willow tree, the village chief focused on the river behind the village.

There is a river behind Lingshui Village, which is called Lingshui River. Speaking of which, the name of Lingshui Village came from the river. The upper reaches of the Lingshui River is a reservoir, and Fengcheng's waterworks was built there. For this reason, the water quality of Lingshui River used to be quite good, and I could often touch a snail in the river and catch a small fish or something. But since a plastic processing factory was built in Songjiazhuang, upstream of Lingshui Village, the water quality of Lingshui River has been getting worse and worse. Now the water flowing is dark brown and smells like a stench.

The last time the village chief saw several children in the village playing in the river, and after teaching them a lesson, he took this as the key point and put it up during the meeting, and it is strictly forbidden for children to play in the river, Let the adults in the family watch it. Children are ignorant, and if something happens to drinking some river water, who's to blame.

Uncle Li sighed, feeling a little sad, "The water in that river used to be so clear, your aunt used to go to the river to wash clothes, and after washing, put on a stone on the riverside. It'll be dry in half an hour. Don't talk about laundry now, you can't stand the smell even if you get close."

In the past, the villagers did not feel it clearly, but with the improvement of the environment in the village, it is really refreshing to take a breath. In contrast, the villagers could not stand the smell of Lingshui River. As far as Uncle Li knew, the village chief had already gone to Songjiazhuang twice to find it, but it didn't work at all.

"It's all making money by hacking my conscience." Uncle Li said angrily.

Lu Lingxi had never seen what the Lingshui River looked like before, but when he thought about what he saw last time, he seemed to feel the anger towards Uncle Li.

On the way back, Lu Lingxi clicked on the white panel, and the entire Lingshui Village was displayed on the panel. His attention was on the Lingshui River, and sure enough, the expansion of the purified soil was hindered by the Lingshui River. There seemed to be an invisible barrier in front of him, and the expansion of the soil stopped. Lu Lingxi could see clearly that the expansion of the soil did not really stop, but that the Lingshui River was flowing daily, and the toxic substances were deposited on the bottom of the river. The soil purification speed was not as fast as the pollution speed. is stopped.

Lu Lingxi frowned and told Yan Yue about this phenomenon. The joy of coming to the village yesterday disappeared with the pollution of the Lingshui River. Yan Yue saw it in his eyes, rubbed Lu Lingxi's hair, and said nothing. It was just a day later that Yan Yue offered to make the two of them go back to the garden at night.

"Go back to the flower garden? Didn't you already go back the day before yesterday?" Lu Lingxi was puzzled. The seeds of Wanglian are generally heated to germinate at room temperature of 25-28 degrees, and they can germinate after a week. Lu Lingxi has successfully sprouted the Wanglian seeds that Xue Yongtong gave him, and now a second young leaf has grown. At this time, clear water is not enough for Wang Lian, and it needs to be moved to a petri dish filled with silt. He plans to go back for a transplant at night.

Yan Yue saw his absent-mindedness and didn't care, but said mysteriously: "Xiaoxi will know when he goes."

Lu Lingxi tried to figure out what to see on Yan Yue's face, but after a while, he reluctantly chose to give up. He talked to Wang Shuxiu, supported Wang Shuxiu to help him change the water for Wang Lian at night, and followed Yan Yue to the flower garden.

Uncle Li and Yu Xiaojuan were still in the garden when they arrived. Seeing Lu Lingxi coming, Uncle Li laughed. "Is the little baby going to the pond? This is the first time the old man has seen such a big leaf. I heard that it is called Wang Lian, but it is really rare."

Wang Lian... Lu Lingxi suddenly looked at Yan Yue with surprise. Yan Yue looked at him dotingly, smiling without saying a word.

Lu Lingxi couldn't help but said, "Brother Yan, did you ask Uncle Xue to pass the Wanglian?"

Yan Yue nodded, deliberately spread his hands, and pretended to regret: "I wanted to give Xiaoxi a surprise, but Uncle Li said it, and there are no surprises."

Uncle Li laughed while listening.

Lu Lingxi looked at Yan Yue with frowning eyes, and the smile on her face couldn't stop. He thought of something again and asked in a loud voice, "Brother Yan, how did you tell Uncle Xue? Is it that Wanglian? But how do you recognize which Wanglian it is?"

Yan Yue was very happy when he saw Lu Lingxi's happy look. While pulling the boy to the pond, he explained the ins and outs of this incident while avoiding the important. "Xue Yongtong owes me a favor, and this Wanglian is a favor he repaid. As for whether it is the Wanglian, Xiaoxi needs to see for yourself. But didn't you say something about vitality last time? I picked this Wanglian. Lotus is the best of all Wanglian, so there should be no problem." Of course, the premise is that Xue Yongtong didn't miss out, or deliberately lied to him.

Lu Lingxi nodded and said quickly: "It doesn't matter if it's not the first-level peak Wanglian, as long as we nurture it carefully, it will definitely evolve." Auxiliary, evolution is not a problem at all.

Because of being too excited, Lu Lingxi trotted all the way for more than ten minutes, and ran over in a few minutes. Seeing him gasping for breath, Yan Yue felt a little distressed, "Wang Lian is in the pond and can't run, what's the hurry!"

Lu Lingxi didn't pay attention to Yan Yue, and all his attention was on the huge jade plate in the middle of the pond. The mental scan came out, and Wang Lian's state emerged in his mind. The name of the first-level Wang Lian made Lu Lingxi's eyes light up. She turned around and tiptoed and kissed Yan Yue's lips quickly, and said excitedly, "Thank you, Big Brother Yan."

His rare initiative made Yan Yue's eyes darken, and he pulled Lu Lingxi to say something in a low voice. Lu Lingxi immediately thought of what happened in the afternoon of the day before yesterday, his eyes wandered, hesitatingly nodded, embarrassed. Seeing his agreement, Yan Yue raised the corners of his mouth in satisfaction. From Lu Lingxi's reaction, it can be judged that this Wanglian should be the first-level peak Wanglian. "Do you want to choose evolution?"

Lu Lingxi forced his attention to withdraw from his promise to Yan Yue and nodded. "To evolve, let's come over at night."

"Good."

Because of this matter in her heart, Lu Lingxi couldn't even eat dinner, so she didn't want to eat after two bites. Yan Yue squeezed his face and said with a stern face, "Too thin, you have to eat two buns." On their way to the flower garden, Yan Yue deliberately went to a well-known bun shop in Fengcheng to pack up There are two baskets of buns in various flavors, enough for two people and one dog to eat until tomorrow morning.

Yan Yue's face is so stern, he has the feeling of a strict parent. In fact, Lu Lingxi's growth has been lacking in this kind of parental image. He subconsciously sat up straight, glanced at Yan Yue secretly, and ate the bun obediently. Yan Yue softened her expression and turned around to warm up a pack of milk for Lu Lingxi. Lu Lingxi blinked, and while Yan Yue was not paying attention, he quickly broke off a small half of the bun and threw it to Da Hei. Da Hei swallowed it very quickly, and tacitly dismantled Lu Lingxi's corpse and removed his tail.

Yan Yue glanced suspiciously at Lu Lingxi and Da Hei after listening to the movement behind him. Lu Lingxi bent his eyes at him and smiled, but Yan Yue had no choice but to turn one eye away.

It was not until it got dark that Yan Yue led Lu Lingxi to the pond. Da Hei trot beside the two of them, hiccups from time to time. At noon, Grandma Wang sent four chicken legs to the store, and Da Hei ate three of them by himself, and he ate a bit more. As a result, he helped Lu Lingxi solve another bun in the evening, in addition to his normal appetite, obviously holding on.

Yan Yue gave it a cool look. Should! Let you help Xiaoxi fool together!

Da Hei whimpered lowly, and then rushed to hiccup halfway through the whimper, and immediately ran to the side with embarrassed brows, embarrassed to follow the two of them.

Lu Lingxi: "…"
