After having his pulse checked by Master Zhang that day, Xiao Hong began to drink bitter medicine every day.

Zhou Xiaoman was worried that he would feel bad, so she took the initiative to comfort Xiao Hong, "It's okay if you don't have children. I was wrong before. When Xiaohua has a child and Xiaoxi is added, our family will be lively. You can settle down in Fengcheng in the future, and you don't have to worry about being lonely when you are old. It doesn't matter if you have children or not."

Xiao Hong didn't show it on his face after hearing her words, but he was relieved in his heart. He kept thinking about what Zhang Lao said about Xiao Man's depression these days. This matter could be big or small. If you think about it, it's fine. If you don't think about it, it will affect your health. Now no matter what Xiao Man thinks, the reason for not having a child is all on him. Xiao Man finally feels less guilty.

After taking Chinese medicine for a week, Xiao Hong calculated that it was time to go back to the northwest. There was a lot to do this time, so Xiao Feng had to go with him. Before leaving, Xiao Feng found an opportunity to chat with Yan Yue and entrusted all the matters at home and in the vegetable greenhouse to Yan Yue. He was not worried about anything going wrong, but he was afraid that if something happened, he would not be able to get back in time, so he had someone to make the decision.

After they left, it was soon the end of February and Fengcheng welcomed the first spring rain.

It was evening when it rained. Fine raindrops fluttered down and formed a huge net in the air, covering the entire Fengcheng. Because it was dark, all the shops on the Micro Gardening Street turned on their lights. The scattered lights shone through the glass windows along the street, stringing together the raindrops outside, and dyeing the entire street with a layer of bizarre colors.

Lu Lingxi stood at the door of Micro Gardening and caught a few drops of rain. The touch felt very cold, but there was not much coolness in the air. Instead, there was a warm and moist atmosphere. He clicked on the panel and showed a large white translucent area in front of him. On these transparent patterns, there was a layer of light dark blue water stains, representing the rainwater gathered on the ground. Lu Lingxi remembered that the rainwater he saw was black at the beginning, but now it has gradually faded from black to dark blue. This means that the haze over Fengcheng has decreased a lot, and the rainwater is correspondingly much cleaner.

“Ouch.”

Dahei, who had been squatting calmly at Lu Lingxi's feet, looked sharply in the direction across the street and shouted a warning after Lu Lingxi clicked on the white panel.

Lu Lingxi followed its warning and looked over. Across the street, a silver-gray husky was squatting at the door of the pet store, looking eager to rush over. However, because of Dahei, the husky took a few tentative steps forward, but did not dare to really rush over.

“Ouch.”

The husky wagged its tail at Lu Lingxi in a sad tone, and Lu Lingxi couldn't help but laugh. He remembered that when Dahei had just come back, this husky was not afraid of Dahei's majesty at all, and often came to Lu Lingxi and flirted with Dahei. After a few times, Dahei couldn't stand it anymore and gave it a good lesson. The husky remembered how powerful Dahei was and didn't dare to flirt with Dahei anymore.

Lu Lingxi guessed that the Husky might be so excited because he sensed the breath of the panel. He didn't care and continued to lower his head and tap on the white panel. As his finger moved, the translucent area on the panel continued to expand. Judging from the scope of purification, the entire street of Micro Gardening was included, and the purified area was still penetrating and extending to the surrounding area. Seeing this, Lu Lingxi was a little happy. After half a year of hard work, about one-tenth of the area of ​​the entire Fengcheng urban area has been purified. These purified areas faintly formed a circle, trying to include the entire Fengcheng.

He was so absorbed in watching that he didn't notice until Yan Yue stood in front of him.

"Xiao Xi." Yan Yue put the coat in his hand on Lu Lingxi while speaking, holding his hand and frowning slightly, "Why are your hands so cold?"

Lu Lingxi came back to his senses and put away the panel, only to find that he had been standing at the door for too long, and his clothes were slightly wet by the rain. He shook his head, "It's okay, it's not too cold." Before Yan Yue could speak, Lu Lingxi quickly changed the subject, "Brother Yan, have you finished your work?"

Yan Yue reluctantly held Lu Lingxi's hand tightly and changed the subject. "There's nothing to do at work. I'll take you home."

Lu Lingxi glanced at the time and realized that it was almost six o'clock. Xiao Feng was away these days, so he had to go back early every day to accompany Wang Shuxiu. "Wait for me to clean up, it will be done soon." He said as he moved the pots of flowers at the door back to the store. Yan Yue rolled up his sleeves and cleaned up with him.

After they cleaned the store and put some miscellaneous items in order, Lu Lingxi turned off the lights, locked the store door, and jogged to the car with Yan Yue.

Across the street, the Husky looked at Lu Lingxi eagerly and howled continuously.

Yan Yue opened the window and asked, "What happened to the Husky?"

“Maybe I’m a little lonely.”

"It seems like it has been staying with Dong Zhi for almost a month." Yan Yue said casually.

Lu Lingxi hummed, waved at the husky from the window, and explained to Yan Yue: "Its owner went abroad. Brother Dong said that he went to Africa and would not be back for three years. It was inconvenient for the other party to take it out, so he asked Brother Dong to find another owner for it."

When he said this, Dahei suddenly leaned over from behind the car seat and looked at Lu Lingxi gently. Lu Lingxi smiled slightly and reached out to scratch Dahei's chin. He understood what Dahei meant. Although the owner of this Husky was in a special situation, it was still abandoned by the Husky. Dahei probably thought of himself, so he made such a move.

Yan Yue seemed to sense Dahei's mood and touched Dahei's head with one hand. He thought for a moment and asked, "Does the other party have any requirements for the adopter?"

"Brother Yan?" Lu Lingxi was a little surprised.

Yan Yue chuckled, "Ye Kang has always wanted to have a dog. He will come to Fengcheng in a few days, so it's a good opportunity to find him something to do."

"...Brother Ye." Lu Lingxi thought about it and felt that Ye Kang was reliable. At least Ye Kang had money and would not abandon the Husky again.

"I'll ask Brother Dong tomorrow."

"good."

Yan Yue's thought of Ye Kang was completely an inadvertent thought, but after thinking about it carefully, Ye Kang and Husky are a good match. Ye Kang has always been looking forward to taking his dog to race at night. In addition to Dahei's calm temperament, only Husky's "lively" temperament is willing to cooperate with him.

Twenty minutes later, Yan Yue drove Lu Lingxi to the door. During this period, he picked up Lu Lingxi in the morning and evening, and from time to time he would circle in front of Wang Shuxiu. Wang Shuxiu's attitude has become softer and softer, from the initial tacit acceptance to the occasional greeting to Yan Yue.

"Brother Yan, I'm going back first." Lu Lingxi took out the key from his pocket and whispered to Yan Yue.

Yan Yue smiled and nodded, then walked out of Unit 3 and turned into Unit 2. Before he could open the door, Xiao Feng called. Yan Yue was a little surprised, thinking that Xiao Feng had something to say, but when he picked up the phone, he realized that Xiao Feng was looking for him because of Lu Yishui.

This time, Xiao Feng followed Xiao Hong back to the northwest. The two spent half a month vigorously disposing of their respective properties. They sold off what needed to be sold off, and except for keeping two houses for their convenience in the future to worship their ancestors, they had basically dealt with everything else. The most troublesome one was the coal mine under Xiao Hong's name. It was not that no one was interested in the coal mine, but there were too many people interested, and Xiao Hong had to screen them for a long time.

Unlike other industries, Xiao Hong has real feelings for this coal mine. He requires the party that takes over to properly place the workers inside, especially to keep a close eye on Lu Yishui. Now Wang Shuxiu is pregnant, Xiao Hong cannot let Lu Yishui come back to trouble Wang Shuxiu, not to mention Xiao Feng. In this way, the transfer of the coal mine is not a matter of who pays more.

In short, Xiao Feng called Yan Yue just to tell him that he had settled everything for Lu Yishui, and that he would continue to dig coal in the northwest. Xiao Feng did not want the salary he earned from digging coal, and saved it all for Lu Yishui. When Lu Yishui got old and could no longer work, he would use the money to support him in his old age. After all, Lu Yishui was Lu Lingxi's biological father, so Xiao Feng had to give him a chance to survive for Lu Lingxi's sake.

Yan Yue did not comment on Xiao Feng's arrangement. As long as Lu Yishui did not appear in front of Lu Lingxi, it would be fine.

After Xiao Feng told Yan Yue, he told Wang Shuxiu. Wang Shuxiu is now living a comfortable life, and she is not as disgusted with Lu Yishui as before. She sighed on the phone and said nothing. This is good, Lu Yishui has a proper job, he can keep the money he earns, and he doesn't have to drag Lu Lingxi down. Wang Shuxiu finally told Xiao Feng to keep this matter secret from Lu Lingxi, so that the little bastard won't feel uncomfortable. This is also what Yan Yue meant.

Lu Lingxi didn't know that his mother and Yan Yue unexpectedly agreed on Lu Yishui's matter. After giving Dahei a bath, he habitually hugged Dahei and read a book.

The rain outside the window has been drizzling, from the afternoon to the evening. Lu Lingxi read a book, talked to Yan Yue on the phone, and the rain had not stopped when he was getting ready for bed. He leaned against the window and watched for a while. Although the rain continued to fall, there was no water accumulation in the courtyard of the community because the rainfall was not heavy. The rain that fell on the ground quickly penetrated into the ground, and was absorbed and stored by the hibernating roots underground.

Lu Lingxi had a good sleep that night and didn't even notice when the rain stopped. He slept in a daze until seven o'clock, opened the curtains, and the spring morning light shone into the house through the window. The golden light and shadow floated in the air, and the house was warm and comfortable.

Lu Lingxi looked out the window unconsciously, and suddenly his eyes widened. In front of Building No. 3, several willow trees planted in the community sprouted tender green branches overnight. The morning breeze blew, and the graceful branches danced lightly in the air, and the colors of spring swayed. He quickly washed up, opened the balcony door and ran out. On the ground in the backyard, clumps of grass emerged from the ground. The golden morning light, the clear dew, and the tender grass, all intertwined together, made people feel better for no reason.

Not only in the backyard of the community, but also in the morning when Yan Yue picked up Lu Lingxi to go to the store, the willow trees along the street had sprouted new buds. On both sides of the street, in the cracks between the stones, there was green everywhere, and occasionally pink flowers swaying in the wind. The whole city swept away the heaviness of winter and exuded a fresh vitality.
