Pastoral Daily Life

Chapter 43: Xiao Feng

    After get off work, Lu Lingxi and Yan Yue went to the flower garden to find Uncle Li.

    As soon as Ye Kang heard that they were going to the flower garden, he followed him into the car. The last time I went to the flower garden to change the pots, Uncle Li specially entertained them for a dinner. In order to give them a taste, Grandma Li steamed a basket of corn nests and mixed a pot of spinach grown in her yard. The sweet wowotou and refreshing spinach made Ye Kang full of praise, and when he left, he shamelessly took away two wowotou.

    In Ye Kang's eyes, going to the flower garden = Uncle Li = a delicious dinner, especially if you don't have to work tonight, so a fool won't go.

    Yan Yue glanced at Ye Kang with some disgust. He also wanted to find something to do at night and not come back, and stayed in a small courtyard with Lu Lingxi like last time. He endured one more big black, but what happened to one more Ye Kang?

    Ye Kang pretended not to understand Yan Yue's eyes, and sat in the co-pilot cheeky.

    Yan Yue tapped the steering wheel and said in a low voice, "Didn't you and third brother Ye have an appointment to have dinner together at night? Why don't you go?"

     Hearing Yan Yue's warning, Ye Kang deliberately made a look of surprise, "I forgot to tell you that the third brother has something to do at night, let me solve it myself." Kang turned to look at Lu Lingxi in the back of the car, with a gentle and amiable smile, "Xiaoxi doesn't mind if I go with you? I miss Grandma Li's craftsmanship a bit."

    Lu Lingxi shook his head, he really liked Ye Kang, not only because it was easy to get along with Ye Kang, but also because Ye Kang was a friend of Brother Yan.

    Pull the banner of Lu Lingxi, Ye Kang rubbed the dinner at Uncle Li's house with satisfaction.

    I heard that they were coming, Grandma Li got ready early. Last time, Lu Lingxi casually mentioned that he likes to eat potatoes. Grandma Li specially made potato cakes tonight. The potatoes that have just been plucked out of the ground are plump and fresh, peeled and shredded, add some cornmeal and white flour, stir together, hold the palm-sized cake, and fry it in oil until golden on both sides. A bite of the potato is crispy and the cornmeal is soft and delicious.

    In addition to potato cakes, Grandma Li also boiled a pot of millet porridge. The yellow millet grains were boiled and soft, and a spoonful of it was full of rich rice fragrance in the nose. The steamed eggplant in the cage was torn into strips by Grandma Li, patted two cloves of garlic, added some vinegar and some chili and mixed it, until the three of them were eaten with round belly.

    Uncle Li looked at them with a smile. The food that was eaten at night was basically grown by the people in the village. Unlike the ones bought in the market, the ones grown at home do not have any medicines or fertilizers. Although the harvests are not as good as those from outside, the taste is much stronger than those from outside.

     

    Lu Lingxi couldn't eat any more, and sat on the chair rubbing his stomach. He used to do this to show that he was hungry, but today he really had enough to eat. Yan Yue was by Lu Lingxi's side. Seeing his movements, he couldn't help but stretch out his hand and put it on the boy's stomach. He whispered, "Have you eaten yet?"

    When Yan Yue noticed his small movements, Lu Lingxi nodded embarrassedly. He was embarrassed to patronize, but he didn't notice that Yan Yue's actions were too intimate.

    Across the thin T-shirt, Yan Yue touched the bulging belly under his hand, what flashed in his mind was the tender belly that was exposed when the teenager fell asleep last time. He slowed down and gently rubbed his hands, with a faint smile on the corners of his lips, and asked, "Are you still holding on?"

    An ordinary question, Lu Lingxi inexplicably felt a little hot at the tip of her ear. He shook his head quickly, indicating that he couldn't stand it anymore.

    Yan Yue was disappointed, he let go of his hand reluctantly, and his face was still serious. Ye Kang sat opposite him and couldn't look directly at Yan Yue anymore. He was now worried that Yan Yue would have split personality if he continued like this.

    After dinner, Lu Lingxi and Uncle Li mentioned that they want to expand the size of the flowerbed. Uncle Li was very happy. When he was with Du Lin before, the business of the gardening shop was good, but when Lu Lingxi took over, the business went up to the next level. Because he regards Lu Lingxi as his doll, the better the business of the gardening shop, the happier the old man will be, and the more energetic he will be at work. Glancing at the moonlight outside, the old man simply greeted a few people and went to the field to take a look.

    The flowerbed of micro gardening is next to the road and covers an area of ​​only a few acres. Behind the flowerbed is the village. If you want to expand the scale, you can only move in the left and right directions. Uncle Li patiently introduced the situation on both sides to Lu Lingxi. He is an old man in the village, and he is of high rank. Speaking of these, he is quite familiar.

    In the end, Mr. Li sighed. The few acres of land in the north belonged to the widow Yu in the village. Her man left early, leaving behind an old and sick mother-in-law and a son who was just walking, all pointing to her to live. She can't make much money from farming, and she has no culture, so she can only go to the city to wash dishes for restaurants day and night, life is hard.

    Lu Lingxi thought of Wang Shuxiu after listening to Uncle Li, and immediately decided: "Then the flower garden will be expanded, and the few acres of land in the north will be rented."

    Uncle Li touched Lu Lingxi's head and sighed, "The little baby has a good heart and will be rewarded."

    An old man and a young man walked in front, Yan Yue and Ye Kang followed slowly. Frogs and insects chirped non-stop in the ground, and the gentle moonlight shone down. Even without street lights, the surroundings could be clearly seen.

    Ye Kang closed his eyes intoxicated, and said leisurely, "How long have we been so leisurely?"

    Yan Yue didn't speak, his eyes kept falling on Lu Lingxi in front.

    Ye Kang glanced at him and said meaningfully: "As a psychiatrist, I have to warn you, people are social animals, you can't keep a person in captivity and prevent him from touching the people around him. Friends and this society. The consequences of this are devastating and immoral."

    Yan Yue heard what he meant, and said slowly: "Do I look like a pervert?"

    Ye Kang nodded playfully, "It's not like, but you are acting like a pervert in front of Xiaoxi. Brother, you must hold back, I don't want to see your name on social news ." Ye Kang patted Yan Yue earnestly.

    “…go away!”

    Ye Kang laughed.

    After a few people finished reading the land, Lu Lingxi specifically mentioned to Yan Yue that he wanted to rent the few acres of land on the left. In Yan Yue's eyes, there is absolutely no difference between left and right, as long as Lu Lingxi is happy. Speaking of that Lu Lingxi was a little sleepy at the back, he ran to the flowerbed several times in the morning, but he never rested, and he ate too much at night, and the whole person was a little lazy and not very energetic. Uncle Li asked them if they wanted to live here, but Yan Yue declined. The flower garden is a bit far from the city, and it is too inconvenient to drive there in the morning. It's better to go straight back in the evening when there is no traffic jam, and you can take a shower. If only he and Lu Lingxi stayed, and there was an extra Yekang bulb, it would be meaningless to stay.

    On the way back, Ye Kang drove, Yan Yue directly caught Da Hei to the co-pilot, and he and Lu Lingxi sat in the back. After walking for a while, Lu Lingxi was so sleepy that he closed his eyes and fell asleep little by little. Yan Yue looked distressed, and gently stretched out his arms to embrace him, pressing the boy into his arms. Lu Lingxi called out "Big Brother Yan" in a daze, rubbed like a puppy, changed to a comfortable position, and fell asleep holding Yan Yue's arm.

    Ye Kang glanced at the two of them in the rearview mirror and smiled slightly. He was so bored that he had nothing to do, and he couldn't talk to Yan Yue for fear of waking Lu Lingxi.

    Da Hei squatted in the co-pilot, wearing sunglasses, and the probe was blowing outside, looking very imposing. A car caught up with them on the side of the road, and the child in the back seat exclaimed: "Look at the dog wearing sunglasses." Da Hei turned his head following the voice, and looked at the curious child, who suddenly wow He burst into tears, yelling, "It, it, it's looking at me."

    As soon as Ye Kang stepped on the accelerator and overtook it, he almost died of laughter. He decided to go back to Zhongjing to raise a dog immediately, and bring it out at night to frighten the little kid with a hair dryer. It was so interesting.

    Relying on the navigation, Ye Kang drove all the way to the downstairs of Lu Lingxi's house. Yan Yue glanced out and frowned, "There is someone at home."

    Ye Kang immediately reacted, the lights of Lu Lingxi's house were on. It stands to reason that there are only him and his mother in Lu Lingxi's family. Lu Lingxi's mother heard that she has to go to work at night, so there should be no one at home at this time. Ye Kang and Yan Yue looked at each other, "I'll take a look."

    Yan Yue nodded, very assured of Ye Kang's skill. Da Hei quickly jumped down while Ye Kang closed the door, and followed Ye Kang quietly. Ye Kang was a little surprised and praised in a low voice, "Good dog."

    Yan Yue watched Ye Kang enter the corridor, his expression darkened. He actually wondered if Lu Yishui had come back, but he felt it was unlikely. If Xiao Feng didn't even have the ability to watch people, he wouldn't dare to send all the gamblers to the coal mine.

    He looked down at Lu Lingxi, the young man was fast asleep, and looked innocent like an angel. He was reluctant to wake the boy, but he couldn't keep sitting in the car like this, he could only pat the boy in his arms gently and coaxedly, "Xiaoxi, you're home."

    Lu Lingxi reached out and rubbed his eyes, rubbed unconsciously in Yan Yue's arms, and said vaguely, "Is it dawn?"

    Yan Yue laughed lightly, his chest vibrated, he supported Lu Lingxi with one hand, and patted his back gently with the other, "It's dawn."

    "Oh!" Lu Lingxi hadn't woken up yet, but she was dumbfounded.

    Yan Yue was about to say something when the **** in the corridor suddenly called out and heard Wang Shuxiu scream: "Big black, let go."

    This time Lu Lingxi was completely sober, "What's wrong?"

    Yan Yue shook his head, "It's okay, let's go take a look."

    At the door of 101, Ye Kang looked a little embarrassed, and Da Hei squatted on the ground and bared his teeth fiercely at the man opposite him. Wang Shuxiu didn't know whether to laugh or cry with the **** guard behind her, and looked at the man opposite apologetically, "Brother Feng, are you alright?"

    Under the dim light, Xiao Feng stood there, looking inconspicuous, but he had an aura that made Ye Kang even jealous. Hearing Wang Shuxiu's words, he shook his head indifferently, "It's okay. The little guy protects the master, he is a good dog." When he spoke, he squinted slightly and looked at Da Hei with interest. It looks like an ordinary local dog, but Da Hei's reaction and ruthlessness are really incomparable to some specialized fighting dogs. His eyes fell on his legs, and his pants were torn with a long slit. This was because he hid in time, otherwise it would not be pants but calves.

    When Lu Lingxi came in, he saw a scene of confrontation between several people. He was confused, "Mom, what's wrong with Dahei?"

    Wang Shuxiu waved her hand, "It's okay, Brother Feng sent me back, but Da Hei mistook it for a thief and almost bit Brother Feng."

    Lu Lingxi was impressed with Brother Feng, and looked at him politely, "Brother Feng, are you alright?"

    Xiao Feng calmly glanced at Yan Yue, who was next to Lu Lingxi, and nodded slightly, "It's okay, I'll go first about changing pants." He said simply, Turn around and leave.

    At this point, Yan Yue and Ye Kang couldn't stay, so they said goodbye and left.

    Getting into the car, Ye Kang teased: "Does Xiaoxi have an extra father?" .

    Yan Yue glared at him speechlessly, and affirmed: "Impossible."

    Ye Kang was a little curious, "Why? It's so late that lonely men and widows are not ordinary friends, right? If I say that Xiaoxi has multiple fathers, that man is not easy to see, what is there? It can also support Xiaoxi."

    Yan Yue said lightly: "Xiaoxi's biological father is a gambler, he is a bad gambler, and he has cheated Xiaoxi for his whole life. The man just now opened a casino, you think Xiaoxi's mother will like it. he?"

    It really won't work, but Ye Kang is even more curious, "How do you know?"

    "He did one thing for me." Yan Yue wrote lightly: "Xiaoxi's gambler father, Shetao, was sent to the northwest to dig coal, and you don't have to think about coming back in your lifetime."

    Ye Kang: “…”
