Pastoral Daily Life

Chapter 42: hostility

    Qiu Tian Gardening is the largest gardening store in Fengcheng. It has a large number of flower beds and nurseries in the suburbs of Fengcheng. The owner of Qiu Tian Gardening is called Qiu Tian. After so many years of operation, he has cooperated well with some municipal units in Fengcheng, and has always been a fixed supplier of these units. Li Weisheng's unit is one of them.

    Three days ago, Li Weisheng suddenly contacted Qiu Tian Gardening to return all the potted plants they just sent. The reason Li Weisheng gave was that these potted plants looked uninspiring and the leaders didn't like them. This move is tantamount to hitting Qiu Tian Gardening in the face.

      What leader doesn't like, maybe which competitor is playing tricks on his back. Thinking of this, he went everywhere to find out what was going on, and finally let him find out, but the result was beyond his expectations. It was true that someone stole his business, but the other party was not the competitors he thought, but a small gardening shop with only a few acres of flower beds.

     Qiu Tian wanted to trouble the gardening shop, but was stopped by his son Qiu Jun. Regardless of the small scale of micro-gardening, it would be bad to be able to catch up with Li Weisheng if there is something behind the other party's back to make a big fuss. At this time, Li Weisheng came over again and ordered a new batch from them, which can be regarded as protecting the face of Qiu Tian Gardening. During the conversation between the two parties, Li Weisheng maintained a lot of micro-gardening, and Qiu Tian pondered what he said, how he thought that Li Weisheng had something to do with micro-gardening. Although Li Weisheng was nothing, he couldn't stand his logistics and running outside all the year round. He knew a lot of people, and Qiu Tian had to give Li Weisheng face.

    It's just that this loss can't be taken in vain, Qiu Tian sent Li Weisheng away, and went to the garden to pick out the potted plants that Brother Li wanted for a long time. He thought about it, didn't that kid from Micro Gardening not know that the sky is high and the earth is rich, and robbed him of his business because of his connections? He slapped him in the face with the potted plant to let the kid understand why Qiu Tian Gardening was the boss of Fengcheng Gardening Store.

    When delivering the goods today, Qiu Tian specially dispatched his son Qiu Jun to express his importance to this business.

    Li Weisheng thought that the two met by chance, but it was not at all, Qiu Jun was waiting for Lu Lingxi on purpose. Seeing Lu Lingxi and the others driving a small broken gold cup, Qiu Jun sneered immediately, not knowing whether to live or die.

    Since the two meet, it is also important to receive the goods first. Li Weisheng thought for a while. Although he was working with Lu Lingxi for the first time, he was confident in the potted plants sent by Micro Horticulture. Thinking like this, Li Weisheng said to Lu Lingxi, "Xiaoxi, wait a moment, I will collect the potted plants here."

    "Okay." Lu Lingxi nodded, he was in no hurry, and wanted to see how the other party's potted plants were doing. He has been micro-gardening for more than two months, that is to say, he went to the flower market, and he has not seriously seen anything grown by other gardening shops.

    Li Weisheng greeted him, Qiu Jun glanced at Lu Lingxi proudly, in his eyes Li Weisheng told them to unload the goods first to show that he was still close to them. He was provocative, but Lu Lingxi was ignorant, completely ignorant of the private undercurrents. Brother Li shook his head helplessly in his eyes. It seemed that he had to go and say hello to Qiu Tian Gardening, not to cause trouble for the children.

    Qiu Jun instructed the other workers in the car to remove the potted plants inside, and said a little proudly to Brother Li: "Brother Li, what do you think?"

    As a graduate of Huaguo Agricultural University, Qiu Jun is not a sham, but has real materials. This time, he and his dad picked the potted plants together. Both the plant type and the color of the leaves are excellent, and they are definitely the best ones in the garden.

    In fact, when Brother Li returned those green plants, Qiu Jun himself knew that Brother Li was right. Qiu Tian's horticultural business is getting bigger and bigger, which is different from the past with only a few acres of flower beds, and he can have the energy to take care of it all. They are hiring workers now. There are too many people and they are not in their own business. It is inevitable that they will be careless at work, and some green plants are indeed not well maintained. This is also due to the strong relationship between Qiu Tian Gardening and these units. Besides, ordinary people can't see the good or the bad, and no one said in the past until Brother Li returned all the potted plants for this reason.

    Before this delivery, Qiu Jun watered and fertilized the selected potted plants, and almost cleaned the leaves. He wants to make sure that these big leaf green dills and fortune trees are full of vitality when they are delivered to Brother Li, and they are pleasing to look at.

     Pots of fortune trees and big-leaf radishes were placed on the ground, Brother Li looked over and nodded. This time, it seems that Qiu Tian is really attentive. The things he sent are good, and he seems to be a lot more energetic. He instructed the logistics staff to move all these in and turned to Lu Lingxi.

    "Xiaoxi, let's unload."

    Lu Lingxi nodded obediently. As soon as he opened the car door, Qiu Jun's eyes jumped. Although the potted plants hadn't been moved out of the car, they were a loser in terms of visual height. After the logistics staff helped move all these potted plants down, the eyes of everyone could not be taken away.

    China has a long history of ornamental plants, and has always paid attention to "watching its leaves and appreciating its shape". This time, Qiu Jun and his father carefully selected them for a long time. The big-leaf radish and the fortune tree that were selected were both emerald green in color and beautiful in shape. As soon as the potted plants of Weiwei Gardening were moved out, Qiu Jun knew that they lost. In terms of leaf color, the two are similar, both are green and green, but micro gardening is more shiny. Those who are not knowledgeable generally can't see it, and the focus is on the plant types of the two.

    The green radish of micro gardening has long branches and drooping, swaying posture, while the fortune tree is square, stable and majestic. Obviously they are just two ordinary green plants, but at a glance you can see the different charms of each other. What is even more rare is that these potted plants are all full of vitality and vigor.

     Qiu Jun's face darkened immediately. Obviously the same green dill, the micro-horticulturist looks like a charming and graceful beauty, and their family is the little girl behind the beauty who is playing with a fan. The same fortune tree, the micro-horticulturist looks at the imposing general, and their family is the servant who leads the horse to the general. Just looking at their family is fine, but if the two families are placed together like this, anyone who is not blind can see what is going on.

    Qiu Jun was a little anxious right away. Wouldn't this kind of comparison match their potted plants even more? He didn't care what else to say, and hurriedly pulled Brother Li to the side to discuss whether he could bring back this batch of green plants, and they would bring another batch over.

    Brother Li also understood his concerns, and he agreed directly without embarrassment. This is really hard to see, but the gap between them is immediately apparent.

    As soon as Li Weisheng agreed, Qiu Jun immediately greeted the workers to remove all the potted plants that had been moved in before, and gave Lu Lingxi a dark face before leaving. Lu Lingxi was being grabbed by Brother Li to speak. He didn't notice Qiu Jun's hostility, but Yi Hang saw it and glared back fiercely.

    Leaving Li Weisheng's place, Qiu Jun has been dark-faced and upset. He came here today with the purpose of slapping his face, but in the end it was himself who was beaten. I don't know how the potted plants of micro gardening are cultivated. If I can learn his skills... Qiu Jun narrowed his eyes and made a plan in his heart. As he was thinking about it, the phone suddenly rang. Qiu Jun frowned, picked it up and took a look, immediately changed his expression and said with a smile, "Lu Shao."

    The person on the other side of the phone was obviously not in a good mood, and without waiting for Qiu Jun to say anything, he scolded directly.

    "Do you not want to do gardening in Qiu Tian? The saplings you sold to my dad last time were planted and died a few days ago. The inspection will be done soon, this is the year's The key projects, the new mayor is watching, what do you think?"

    "Dead?" Qiu Jun couldn't believe it, "Lu Shao, the gardeners have seen those saplings when they were planted, and they said that they were basically transplanted alive, and it was over. How long did it take to die?"

    "You TMD think I lied to you, you can find a roadside to see if you live or die, tell me, and then tell me what you plan to do?"

    The person on the other side of the phone hung up the phone, and Qiu Jun's face became cloudy for a while. The person who called him was Lu Hongxin, the son of the director of Fengcheng City Management. As an important municipal greening project in Fengcheng this year, the main unit responsible for approval is the Urban Greening Office under the Urban Management Bureau. Lu Hongxin made a name for himself here and handled a lot of projects by relying on his father. Among them, relying on his personal friendship with Lu Hongxin, Qiu Tian Gardening has basically won most of the projects, and the two parties have always been working happily.

    Thinking of this, Qiu Jun snorted. If those willow saplings died, TMD would be covetted to death by Lu Hongxin and his son. When he bought the seedlings at that time, he said that the seedlings were not very good. Compared with 5 cm seedlings and 2 cm seedlings, 5 cm seedlings are definitely easier to survive. Although the price is a little more expensive, it will definitely save you worry and effort in the follow-up. As a result, the two grandsons reported the price of 5 cm seedlings, but they approved the money to buy 2 cm seedlings, and they made half of the money when they changed hands. When taking the money, he has nothing to do with him. If something goes wrong, he will come to him. What a grandson!

    Although Qiu Jun scolded him like this, he knew in his heart that something had really happened, and Qiu Tianyuan couldn't run away, so he still had to go and see. However, Lu Hongxin, the grandson, couldn't be contacted a few days ago. It was as if the world had evaporated. He disappeared for half a month before popping up again. I don't know where I went some time ago, don't get into trouble and escape.

    With wild guessing in his heart, Qiu Jun glanced out the window. This is where municipal offices are concentrated. The roadside greenery is very well done, and what Yiyi sees is basically more than ten years old. old tree. Even knowing that Lu Hongxin had given him ten courage, he did not dare to plant those small saplings like mop poles here. It is estimated that Fengcheng is the most broken place and the most planted.

    Not long after Qiu Jun left, Lu Lingxi left here after moving the potted plants. He didn't deliver all of them in one trip, and he had to make several trips.

    Easy Hang drove out of Brother Li's unit and turned into a small alley instead of going back the same way. "I remember there's a short cut here, and it's half as long as the way we came."

    Lu Lingxi has no requirements for the distance, the only requirement is that Yihang can drive more steadily. Although Da Hei is not here today, he can't stand the bumps of the gold cup anymore.

    Yi Hang smiled and stepped on the accelerator. Lu Lingxi quickly fastened his seat belt and gave Yi Hang a speechless look. The two turned left and right, and Lu Lingxi could only see that the houses on both sides were getting more and more broken, and there were fewer and fewer high-rise buildings. Yi Hang introduced to him, "This is the south side of Fengcheng, and you probably don't remember it. It turns out that this side is very prosperous, and the underground is full of coal, and there is Fengluan Coal Mine Group. The coal in the back ground is all mined. It was empty, and Fengluan Coal Mine Group also moved out. Some developers wanted to develop this place, but they dug up the foundation and saw that the bottom was empty, and there was no way to build a building. After the news spread, no one came to develop this area. , the result is more and more broken. Don't look at our community broken, it is much stronger than this one. "

    Lu Lingxi listened to Yi Hang's introduction and looked out the window, suddenly stunned, "Hey, isn't that the car that Qiu Tian gardening just now?"

    "Where?"

    Yi Hang curiously glanced in the direction Lu Lingxi indicated, and sure enough, he saw the white van parked not far to the left. The door of the truck was open, and the man I had seen before seemed to be Qiu Jun, who was squatting on the side of the road and studying a willow sapling.

    Yi Hang glanced at Lu Lingxi subconsciously, wondering why they all had this problem. Last time, the third child got off the car and carried back a willow sapling, and Qiu Jun seemed to be planning to carry that willow sapling back.

    "Thirdest, what happened to that tree?" Yi Hang didn't understand, and was a little curious about what Qiu Jun was looking at.

    Lu Lingxi put out a mental scan, and frowned slightly as the white panel floated out. "That tree is dying." Not only that tree, but the two trees next to it were dying too. "

    Yi Hang didn't care much about this, "That's a matter of the Forestry Bureau, and it has nothing to do with us." He had already left Qiu Jun behind him very quickly, Lu Lingxi retracted his mental scan, His expression was a little sullen, and he didn't speak any more.

    It can be seen from the white panel that these saplings are not the same as the sapling planted in his backyard. Not because of lack of water, but because of soil hardening due to severe acidification of the soil, the root system of the saplings is already weak, which makes it more difficult to stretch and cannot absorb the nutrients in the soil at all. He remembered the rainstorm half a month ago. If it came so many times, he didn't know how the environment would deteriorate.

    After four trips to the flowerbed, Lu Lingxi and Yihang finally delivered all the potted plants Li brother needed. Brother Li happily settled the money for them, and Lu Lingxi took the money and decided to discuss with Yan Yue about expanding the scale of the flower garden. Just like what Yan Yue said last time, he can't do anything else, he can grow some flowers and plants. In this way, more people buy, and the environment can be improved a little bit.

    When he returned to Micro Gardening, Lu Lingxi saw Ye Kang again. Since Ye Kang came to Fengcheng, he stayed in Micro Gardening every day when he had nothing to do. Some old customers saw Ye Kang and thought that Lu Lingxi had hired another employee. Lu Lingxi is polite to Ye Kang, but Yan Yue often assigns Ye Kang to help the guests move potted plants and carry fertilizer, which is not polite at all.

    "I'm back." Seeing Lu Lingxi entering the door, Yan Yue greeted with curved lips.

    Lu Lingxi smiled and nodded at the two of them, Da Hei had already run up to Lu Lingxi and rubbed his leg intimately. Lu Lingxi rubbed Da Hei's head with crooked eyebrows. He actually wanted to take Da Hei to the flowerbed to let the wind out, but Da Hei saw that Yi Hang was driving and refused to get in the car.

    "Where is Yihang?"

    "He sent me to the intersection and went back."

    Yan Yue hooked the corner of his mouth, expressing his satisfaction with this answer. Because Yi Hang and Lu Lingxi grew up together, Yan Yue was very wary of their closeness. If it wasn't for the fact that it was easy to find Yihang to deliver to Micro Gardening at the beginning, Yan Yue would not have given the two of them a chance to return to the garden to be alone.

    Ye Kang looked at Yan Yue abusively, Yan Yue's possessiveness towards Lu Lingxi was unexpectedly strong. He watched Yan Yue endure calmly, and wanted to know the limit of Yan Yue's endurance. Noticing Ye Kang's gossip, Yan Yue glanced at him lightly. Ye Kang immediately looked serious, but his eyes were completely different. Speaking of which, he really doesn't know that his good brother still has the potential to be perverted. Thinking of this, Lu Lingxi, who was targeted by the pervert, could only silently sympathize with the other party.

    The ins and outs between the two Lu Lingxi didn't notice at all, he kept the accounts for today and mentioned to Yan Yue that he wanted to expand the size of the flowerbed.

    Yan Yue never refused Lu Lingxi's request.

    Lu Lingxi was a little embarrassed, "Then this month's dividends can't be given to you, Big Brother Yan, and we have to wait until next month."

    Yan Yue couldn't help but reached out and rubbed Lu Lingxi's hair, and said with a smile, "The bigger the flower garden is, the more you will earn in the future. Big Brother Yan will still pay for it."

    Lu Lingxi has recently become accustomed to Yan Yue doing this to him. He feels like he likes to touch the dark, which is a sign of intimacy. Yan Yue's hand was a little reluctant to leave, so he lightly patted Lu Lingxi's shoulder and said casually, "Why did you suddenly think of expanding the size of the flowerbed?"

    "It didn't come to my mind, I always have this plan." Lu Lingxi explained seriously, and casually mentioned what happened today. He said it casually, but Yan Yue and Ye Kang looked at each other, their eyes slightly dark.

    What Yan Yue cares about is Qiu Tian Gardening's hostility towards Lu Lingxi. What Ye Kang paid more attention to was that Lu Lingxi mentioned that the planted saplings were about to die.

    He said casually, "Are there many dead saplings?"

    Lu Lingxi looked at Ye Kang in surprise and nodded.

    Ye Kang exchanged glances with Yan Yue, and abducted Micro Gardening under the pretext of smoking. He had to call his third brother to remind him. The Fengcheng municipal greening project was proposed by the newly appointed mayor of Fengcheng. Ye Cheng, the secretary of the mayor, has been staring at this matter. Ye Kang does not want his third brother to be fooled by others. people.

    As soon as Ye Kang went out, Yan Yue calmly asked a few questions about Qiu Tian's gardening. He found that Lu Lingxi didn't realize Qiu Tian Gardening's hostility to him at all, but instead praised the other party's good cultivation of green plants in a serious manner, and he wanted to learn from the other party.

    Yan Yue listened to his description, and the originally obscure eyes slowly smudged into a faint smile. That's good, he would rather the young man be innocent all his life, and he would just stop the wind and rain outside for him.
