Pastoral Daily Life

    It was almost 9:30 when Lu Lingxi and Yan Yue arrived at the micro gardening street. When the two went out, they felt that they had plenty of time, but after a heavy rain, a lot of water accumulated on the road, and the two had to detour and avoid pedestrians on the road, which delayed the time.

    The drainage facilities in Fengcheng were built decades ago. Usually, it is easy to accumulate water when the rain is a little heavy. This time, it caught up with the heavy rain that has been hard to see in several years, and the accumulation was a mess. Many buses were forced to change their routes.

    Wang Shuxiu was trapped in the unit in the morning. She called Lu Lingxi early in the morning to say that she could not go home for the time being, and she had to wait for the water outside to recede. Hearing that Lu Lingxi said that Yan Yue was also trapped in the rain last night, Wang Shuxiu specially told him that there was no food at home, so don't neglect the guests. Yan Yue asked if she wanted to drive to pick up Wang Shuxiu, but Wang Shuxiu politely refused.

    Stopping all the way, the red light came on at the corner, Yan Yue stopped the car. The noise of pedestrians on the sidewalk spread into the car. Although there was stagnant water everywhere, the heavy rain brought a long-lost coolness to the sultry Fengcheng, and everyone said it was more happy. The air outside is not bad. Although it is not as good as Lu Lingxi's backyard, it is refreshing and comfortable. It is not as wet and greasy as it was a few days ago and it is difficult to breathe. Yan Yue kept the window open all the way to blow air, only to feel that the dust floating in the air was washed clean by this heavy rain, and even the sky seemed to be a little blue.

    He mentioned it to Lu Lingxi, Lu Lingxi didn't speak, just looked at the water outside with some anxiety. Today's air is indeed much better than usual, but Lu Lingxi knows that this is all temporary. The heavy rain just deposited the floating dust in the air to the ground, and together with the water that cannot be drained out, the entire Fengcheng is polluted.

    "What's wrong?" Yan Yue noticed that he was in a bad mood.

    Lu Lingxi shook his head, "I just think the environment is polluted too much, even the rain is black."

    Yan Yue did not expect this to be what he was worried about, so he comforted: "The environment is a bit bad now, but the country has also realized the importance of environmental protection, and has been spending money on governance, and it will definitely be in the future. Getting better and better."

    Lu Lingxi hummed and reluctantly accepted Yan Yue's comfort.

    Yan Yue's eyes were filled with a faint smile, and Lu Lingxi's expression was extraordinarily soft. He found that Lu Lingxi was serious, not casually mentioning that the outside environment was not good, but was really worried. To be honest, he never understood how Wang Shuxiu's pungent personality could have brought up such an innocent, kind, crystal-clear existence as a teenager.

    "Okay." He couldn't help reaching out and rubbing the boy's hair, and said, "When the micro-gardening makes money, we can expand the size of the flowerbed and have a variety of flowers and plants. I bought it like this. With more people, it can be considered to improve the environment, don't you think?" This comforting sentence is more effective than the empty comforting sentence before, Lu Lingxi nodded earnestly, thinking about the expansion of the flowerbed that Yan Yue said.

    The green light came on, and the two turned into the street of Micro Gardening. From a distance, the two of them saw a lot of people gathered on the opposite side of Micro Gardening. When they got close, Lu Lingxi recognized that several of the people inside were shopkeepers nearby. Brother Dong was also there, so he didn't know what they were talking about together.

    Lu Lingxi looked over there curiously, Yan Yue stopped the car and signaled, "I'll open the door, Xiaoxi, go and see what happened?"

    "Okay!" Lu Lingxi agreed obediently, and led Da Hei to trot across the road. Yan Yue hooked the corners of his mouth, only at this time could he see that Lu Lingxi was only eighteen years old and still a teenager who had not grown up.

    As soon as Dong Zhi turned around, he saw Lu Lingxi trotting over, and hurriedly waved to him.

    Lu Lingxi stopped in front of Dong Zhi, the people around in front were a little crowded, and he couldn't see what was going on inside. "What's wrong?" he asked curiously.

    Dong Zhi shook his head and sighed: "Grandma Wang was hit by a car yesterday. Her family is looking for witnesses. Grandma Wang Xiaoxi, do you remember?"

    Of course Lu Lingxi remembers that yesterday, Grandma Wang said she wanted to introduce a girlfriend to Yan Yue. His heart tightened, "Grandma Wang, she..."

    Dong Zhi saw Lu Lingxi's expression and knew that he wanted to go wrong, and quickly added: "Grandma Wang is not life-threatening, but her leg is broken, and the long time in the rain is a bit cold. I don't know which wicked person hit me, so I stopped to take a look, turned around and ran away." He said this, and looked at Da Hei, who was squatting beside Lu Lingxi's legs. I met Yan Yue. Lu Lingxi also thought of it, soothed Da Hei and asked with concern, "Didn't Grandma Wang see the car that hit her?"

    Dong Zhi shook his head, "I heard it was a black Audi, but I don't know anything else. It rained too much yesterday, and the roadside cameras were broken, so nothing was captured."

    Lu Lingxi is very sensitive to black Audis. Wasn't the car that reacted violently yesterday the black Audi? Just as this thought flashed by, Da Hei, who had been quiet all along, seemed to smell something, and his expression became a little restless.

    "What's wrong with Da Hei?" Brother Dong was a little strange.

    Lu Lingxi got in touch with what happened yesterday, and looked at Da Hei with some hesitation, "Did you smell something, Da Hei?"

     Da Hei lowered his head and sniffed around, looking a little strange, but not as violent as yesterday. Lu Lingxi told Dong Zhi what happened last night. It was a black Audi.

    Dong Zhi is a little incredible, how long has it been since Da Hei was hit, Da Hei still remembers. "Look at Da Hei's reaction, could it be the same car?"

    Lu Lingxi also suspected this, but Da Hei's reaction didn't seem as intense as yesterday. He squatted in front of Da Hei and said solemnly, "Da Hei, do you know this smell? Is it the same person who hit you?"

    Da Hei hesitated, and seemed to be unsure.

     Brother Dong patted Lu Lingxi, "Yesterday it rained too much, what smell was washed away long ago."

    Lu Lingxi nodded and said nothing. When he led Da Hei back to Micro Gardening, the people on the side of the road also dispersed. Yan Yue was a little curious, "What happened? Why did it take so long?"

    Lu Lingxi told Yan Yue that Grandma Wang was hit, and emphasized the abnormality of Da Hei at that time. However, as Brother Dong said, it rained too much, and there was too little smell left, and Da Hei himself was not sure.

    Yan Yue saw that his mood was affected, and reassured: "Don't worry, this kind of case is not difficult, it should be solved soon. When the police catch the perpetrator, we will take the big black. Check it out and see if it's the same person."

    "That's fine too?"

    "Of course!" Yan Yue affirmed.

    It's just that no matter whether it is Grandma Wang's family or Yan Yue, no one would have thought that half a month has passed, and there is no clue in this ordinary traffic accident. The police investigated the neighborhood for several days, and even went to the micro gardening to ask about the situation. The day Grandma Wang was hit, Lu Lingxi had already left work, so naturally she didn't see anything. However, he deliberately mentioned Da Hei's reaction to the police, as well as Da Hei's previous collision. He wondered if it was the same person?

    The police laughed and didn't take Lu Lingxi's words seriously. No matter how smart a dog is, they can't believe that they can remember the smell of the person who bumped it for so long. Seeing that Lu Lingxi and Da Hei asked seriously, the two police officers felt that Lu Lingxi was still a child, and this dog was just a conditioned response to training.

    When Grandma Wang was just hit, the nearby shopkeeper often mentioned this incident. Now half a month has passed, and there has been no clue, so everyone mentioned it less. That's why Da Hei was fine and ran to the place where Grandma Wang was hit and smelled it. Lu Lingxi didn't care about it, and let Da Hei go by himself.

    At the end of the month, Lu Lingxi took Yan Yue to settle the account. It has been a month since he took over Micro Gardening. With the word of mouth from old customers, the business in the store is getting better and better, and there are more and more repeat customers. Everyone said that Lu Lingxi was good at taking care of flowers and plants. The flowers and plants bought from Micro Gardening were very vigorous and very easy to support. In particular, I don't know if it's everyone's illusion. I always feel that I'm in a good mood when I see these flowers and plants, and it's very comfortable to stay together.

    The word of mouth of Micro Gardening is slowly spreading. Lu Lingxi is soft and easy to talk, and the environment inside is very good. Many customers just want to come in and make fun of him. As long as they're into micro-gardening, they'll more or less have to buy something when they go. After this month, Lu Lingxi did the math, and he and Yan Yue made a net profit of 20,000 yuan, excluding labor.

    Lu Lingxi was a little excited. If they continue to develop like this, they will soon be able to expand the size of the flowerbed. At that time, as long as the sales can keep up with the profit, the profit will definitely be higher, and he will be able to pay off the money owed to Yan Yue earlier. After finishing the account, Lu Lingxi began to prepare the matter of opening an online store that Yan Yue had casually mentioned before.

    Because of the special living environment in the previous life, although Lu Lingxi usually used the computer and learned about the outside world through the computer, he did not have a deep understanding of the Internet. The governess that the Lu family hired for him wouldn't talk about it either. He knows that you can buy things online, but he can't imagine that you can buy anything online, as long as you have money.

    Since Yan Yue set up a computer in the store, Lu Lingxi has been researching the matter of opening a store online. What he was most worried about was any damage to the flowers during transportation, but other problems were nothing to him.

    "Do you really want to open an online store?" Yan Yue confirmed.

    Lu Lingxi nodded and said excitedly: "I have studied it, it is very simple, not complicated at all, as long as you register on Taobao, you can open a store." He also found it on Taobao. I met a lot of colleagues and saw a variety of planted flowers, which is more than what I saw in the flower market.

    When Lu Lingxi talked about this, her eyes were bright and Yan Yue saw it. Although she was reluctant that Lu Lingxi was too tired, she was even more reluctant to attack his enthusiasm, so she could only nod her head.

    Lu Lingxi rolled her eyes, "Brother Yan, do you agree? Don't worry, I'll do it well and get our micro-gardening reputation out as soon as possible."

    Yan Yue hooked the corner of his mouth and supported: "Okay."

    With the support of Yan Yue, Lu Lingxi was very motivated, but before he could finish the online store, Brother Han, whom he hadn't seen for a few days, brought him another big order. And the owner of this list, Lu Lingxi, also knows Li Weisheng who he just met half a month ago.
