At nine o'clock in the morning, Micro Gardening opened as usual.

Lu Lingxi cleaned the store as usual, put away the miscellaneous items on the table at the door, and finally placed the camellia flowers he brought back from the flower garden on the table.

Camellia, also known as Datura, is a traditional ornamental flower in China and one of the famous "Top Ten Famous Flowers". In recent years, as camellia has become popular in the international flower market, flower dealers around the world have developed many horticultural varieties in addition to the original species of camellia, which has developed to more than 5,000 species.

The camellias that Lu Lingxi raised were given to him by Xue Yongtong, originally in exchange for an evolved calla lily from him. He originally thought that he could just give the calla lily to Xue Yongtong, but Xue Yongtong insisted on exchanging it for the camellias, and specifically told him that these camellias were not ordinary camellias, but rare double-petaled mutants.

Lu Lingxi couldn't resist the other party's opinion, and he was interested in the mutant camellia, so he didn't refuse. He had seen double-petal camellia in the plant atlas before. Generally speaking, most of the stamens of this kind of camellia are petalized, and the corresponding petals naturally increase, and the general number of petals is around 50. After the flowers bloom, the colors are red, purple, or black, and they are gorgeous like brocade. It can be said that the flowers are colorful and deep, and they are as beautiful as the morning glow. But the flowers of the mutant camellia in front of him are actually light green, and the petals have reached more than 60 pieces. The large petals are clustered together, forming a graceful peony shape, and the fragrance of the flowers is lingering and long, which is particularly elegant.

He had just put out the camellia flowers when an old customer who lived nearby passed by and saw the camellia flowers through the glass. His eyes suddenly lit up and he came in immediately.

"Young boss, are you growing camellias again?"

The visitor asked as he looked around the table. Residents living nearby all knew that the owner of Micro Gardening was good at growing flowers. In addition to the flower varieties that were often sold in the store, the owner would occasionally grow a few less common flowers. For example, this camellia, you can tell at a glance that it is not an ordinary camellia, probably because the owner grew it on a whim. Look at the color of the flower, look at the shape of the plant, it is a rare "beauty embryo".

The visitor liked it more and more, and felt lucky. The young owner had just opened the shop, and the mist on the leaves had not yet dried. No one must have competed with him for the goods, so he walked around the area several times early in the morning.

"Young boss, how much is this flower? We still have a few in our store. I'll buy them all." The visitor was very generous.

Lu Lingxi felt a little embarrassed, "This flower has already been taken, and the remaining two have also been given away."

He has a total of three camellia plants, one for Old Zhang, one for Grandpa Su, and the remaining one Lu Lingxi wants to put at home so that Wang Shuxiu will be happy to see it.

After Lu Lingxi finished speaking, the visitor immediately looked regretful. He remembered that the camel was not available in the Micro Gardening Store yesterday. Since the boss said he was giving it away, it must be for someone close to him. In this case, he couldn't ask the boss to give him one, so he had to leave the store reluctantly. Before the other party had gone far, another customer saw the camellia through the glass window and came over. In the morning, no less than seven or eight groups of customers came in for this camellia.

Lu Lingxi didn't expect that this camellia was so charming. While apologizing to these customers, he also thought about whether he should introduce a mutant species of this camellia from Xue Yongtong to enrich the variety of flowers in the store.

He was just thinking about this when Wang Shuxiu and Xiao Hong's family came over with lunch prepared for him. "Why are you here so early, Mom?" Lu Lingxi and Zhang Lao had agreed to meet at 2pm, and it was not even 12pm yet.

Wang Shuxiu handed the thermos bucket in her hand to Lu Lingxi and said, "You haven't eaten yet, right? You have to come soon anyway, so I came early to bring you food."

Lu Lingxi remembered that Yi Hang said yesterday that Wang Shuxiu was worried that he had lost weight, so he curled his eyes and asked, "Mom and uncle, have you eaten yet?"

"We've already eaten, you little bastard, leave us alone, and eat now while no one is around."

Wang Shuxiu walked around but didn't see Yan Yue, and she felt satisfied. She brought a thermos bucket with her on purpose today. If Yan Yue was here, she didn't believe that Yan Yue would have the nerve to snatch food from Xiaoxi in front of her. Of course, it would be best if Yan Yue wasn't here. Wang Shuxiu admitted that Yan Yue was with Lu Lingxi, but she just didn't mind it. When she really saw the two of them together, she still felt upset.

In addition to the lunch prepared for Lu Lingxi, Wang Shuxiu also brought a box of bones for Dahei. She hadn't seen Dahei for a while, and Dahei was very affectionate. Because Dahei was there, Xiao Hong deliberately left Xiao Baiwan at home, just in case the two dogs quarreled and affected the old Chinese doctor's pulse diagnosis.

Xiao Hong was very grateful for Wang Shuxiu's kindness. He also checked the Internet for information about Mr. Zhang. His qualifications were higher than those of the experts they had seen in Zhongjing. He was a real master of traditional Chinese medicine. He didn't mind having a child, but he couldn't bear to see Xiaoman feel sad about having a child. As long as there was a chance, he was willing to accompany Xiaoman to give it a try.

Several people waited in the micro-gardening store for a while. When it was almost two o'clock, Mr. Zhang came over alone. After several people greeted him, Mr. Zhang sat down at the table with a smile and asked Zhou Xiaoman to sit opposite him so that he could feel her pulse first.

Zhou Xiaoman sat down nervously. Elder Zhang stretched out two fingers and placed them on her wrist. He focused his attention for a moment and asked her to switch to the other hand. After the operation, Elder Zhang said nothing but asked Xiao Hong to come over and take her pulse. After the same procedure, Elder Zhang asked the two about their eating habits for a long time, looked at their complexions, and finally said that Zhou Xiaoman was fine, but Xiao Hong had a minor problem.

"real?"

Xiao Hong and Zhou Xiaoman looked at each other, a little bit unbelieving. They had just gone to Zhongjing for a checkup not long ago, and they were told that the couple were fine, but they just hadn't had a child yet. How could Mr. Zhang say that there was something wrong with Xiao Hong's body? However, if you think about it from another perspective, the previous doctors hadn't found out, so could this be the reason why they hadn't had children for many years? Since Mr. Zhang saw it right away, did that mean he could cure Xiao Hong?

Before Xiao Hong could speak, Zhou Xiaoman asked anxiously, "Is it serious? Can it be cured?"

Elder Zhang smiled lovingly, "It's no big deal. I'll prescribe a prescription for you. You can take the medicine according to the prescription and drink it for a course of treatment. Let's see the effect first."

After he said this, Zhou Xiaoman immediately felt relieved and nodded repeatedly, promising to urge Xiao Hong to take the medicine on time.

After Zhang Lao finished writing the prescription, Zhou Xiaoman couldn't sit still anymore, thinking about getting the medicine. There was a pharmacy not far from this street, so Wang Shuxiu simply accompanied Zhou Xiaoman to get the medicine first.

After they left, only Mr. Zhang, Xiao Hong and Lu Lingxi were left in the store. Mr. Zhang said to Xiao Hong casually, "I just lied to you. You are actually fine. You are in great shape."

Xiao Hong & Lu Lingxi: "..."

Elder Zhang smiled and explained, "I heard from Xiaoxi that you had seen many doctors before you came to see me, and all the physical examinations showed nothing wrong, but you just couldn't get pregnant?"

Xiao Hong nodded hesitantly.

Zhang said, "Some couples are like this. It's also related to your eating habits and the environment around you. Also, your wife is under too much pressure. I think she's been depressed, and it's probably not a one- or two-day problem. If it continues like this for a long time, it will definitely affect her health. To be more mysterious, it will also affect her inability to get pregnant. Now your most important problem is to open your mind, especially your wife, so that it will be easier for her to get pregnant."

After Mr. Zhang finished speaking, Xiao Hong understood immediately. Xiaoman has been feeling bad about having children. Although she seems to have let it go on the surface, she still subconsciously feels that it is her own fault that she does not have children. Xiao Hong also tried to persuade Zhou Xiaoman about this, but it is hard to say how much Zhou Xiaoman listened to him. Now that Mr. Zhang has put the blame on him, Xiaoman knows that it is not her fault, which makes it easier for her to untie the knot than if the doctor said that both of them are in good health. Xiaoman is in a better mood, and maybe she can really have a child. Even if there is no child, it is also his, Xiao Hong's fault, and Xiaoman at least does not have to blame herself anymore.

Xiao Hong smiled gratefully, "Thank you, Mr. Zhang."

Mr. Zhang waved his hand nonchalantly, "Just as long as you don't blame me for lying to you."

Although Zhang Lao did this to help Zhou Xiaoman resolve her worries, he also said that Xiao Hong might have eaten too much greasy food recently and had a sore throat. The prescription he prescribed was for cooling down the heat, and Xiao Hong had no problems drinking it for a while, and it also helped him get better.

The three of them didn't say much, and Wang Shuxiu and the others came back with the medicine. Xiao Hong didn't stay in the store for long because he was afraid of affecting the business of Micro Gardening. Before leaving, he kept thinking about how to thank Mr. Zhang. He also knew that Mr. Zhang was willing to tell him these things on the one hand because of his kindness as a doctor, and on the other hand because of Xiaoxi's face. To be honest, if he gave money to Mr. Zhang now, it would be looking down on him, but if he didn't give him anything, he would feel a little guilty.

Xiao Hong was worried when Lu Lingxi brought the light green camellia to Mr. Zhang and said with a shy look that he wanted to give it to Mr. Zhang. Xiao Hong's eyes lit up immediately and he was impressed by Xiaoxi's thoughtfulness.

Mr. Zhang accepted the camellia with a smile. He knew Xiaoxi's personality. If he didn't accept it, the child would definitely remember it. He and Xiaoxi were friends regardless of age difference. It was a graceful thing for them to make friends through flowers.

After seeing off Xiao Hong and the others, Mr. Zhang asked about Lu Lingxi's visit to Kunnan. He really wanted Lu Lingxi to go to the orchid exhibition to broaden his horizons. He also had several old friends who would come from all over China. These old friends of his were not simple people, and they would be well-known if they were known to others. Mr. Zhang privately wanted to introduce Lu Lingxi to his old friends, so that the child would have a good relationship.

When Mr. Zhang asked, Lu Lingxi nodded quickly. However... he was a little hesitant, "Grandpa Zhang, I have a friend who is also planning to go with me, and I may have to live with him."

Old Zhang laughed. "It's more lively when there are more people. I like lively places. We don't have to live separately. Your Grandpa Zhao has taken care of everything."

Lu Lingxi smiled embarrassedly and did not agree immediately. He planned to discuss food and accommodation with Yan Yue first.
