Pastoral Daily Life

Lu Lingxi died.

As a child born by his parents through precise genetic matching, for eighteen years of his life, he lived entirely for his brother, who had leukaemia. He was his brother’s sha...

Chapter 45 Soil

When Lu Lingxi followed Grandpa Li into the house, Grandpa Li was telling him about the little rascal who had been caught. The little rascal's name was Xu San. He had been lazy and thieving since he was a child. Other young people in the village went to the city to work because they thought farming was not profitable. Xu San also disliked farming and paid attention to other things. Every day, he would go to the east and west to touch people. He had a pair of sneaky eyes and caused a lot of trouble.

The village had looked for him several times, and some people had called the police to arrest him. But Xu San was a scoundrel. Not only did he refuse to admit what he had done, but he was also plotting to do something behind the scenes. The families who had called the police to arrest him before were left in a state of panic by him. After several times, the villagers had no choice but to guard against him. He saw that he could not take advantage of the village, so he went somewhere. Unexpectedly, he came back again these days and even set his sights on the flower garden.

"When the husband of Widow Yu died, Xu San often went to trouble Widow Yu's family, bullying them because they had no husband. He would take anything he liked when he entered the house. Later, several neighbors couldn't stand it anymore, so they asked Old Man Xu, who was senior to him, to come out and coax and threaten him to stop him."

At this point, Uncle Li said to Lu Lingxi earnestly, "Don't be soft-hearted with people like this. If you let him go once, he won't appreciate your kindness. He will only think that you are easy to bully and take advantage of, and will cause trouble for you endlessly."

The old man said this because he saw the difference between Lu Lingxi and Yan Yue. He has lived a lifetime and although he may not have become a shrewd person, at least he has seen a lot of the ways of the world. Lu Lingxi, this little kid, looks kind-hearted and probably doesn't understand the evil of human nature. Yan Yue is just the opposite of him. The old man knew Yan Yue was not easy to get along with the first time he saw him. He was not someone who would suffer any loss.

Just now, Yan Yue asked Lu Lingxi to come back first, and the old man guessed that Yan Yue probably didn't want the little kid to see something. According to Grandpa Li, you should deal with evil people like Yan Yue, he hates you more than he hates you, but he is worried that the little kid won't understand, so he wants to give the little kid a shot of prevention first. Don't let the two of them have misunderstandings because of Xu San's matter.

Uncle Li was so kind that Lu Lingxi nodded obediently. In fact, he believed Yan Yue even without Uncle Li telling him. Besides, Xu San was a bad guy, so it was right for Brother Yan to teach him a lesson. As the old man and the young boy were talking, Yan Yue pushed the door open and walked in, and Xu San followed behind like a bullied young wife.

Uncle Li quickly glanced at Xu San, and he began to wonder. Xu San was still the same as before, not as bruised and battered as he thought. Maybe he was wrong about Yan Yue.

As soon as this thought flashed through Uncle Li's mind, Xu San rushed forward. Seeing that he was about to pounce on Lu Lingxi, Yan Yue snorted softly. This sound was like thunder in the clear sky to Xu San, and his body immediately froze in a funny posture. He shivered and peeked at Yan Yue, then turned around and pounced on Uncle Li, hugged Uncle Li's legs and shouted.

"Uncle, I was wrong. I really know I was wrong. I won't dare to target the flower garden again. I am a bastard." Xu San slapped himself and said to Uncle Li, "Uncle, don't worry. I will take care of the safety of the flower garden. Anyone who dares to target the flower garden will be against me, Xu San."

Uncle Li: “…”

The old man believed it now, he didn't think of Yan Yue. He didn't know what Yan Yue had done. It was summer now, he didn't see any injuries on Xu San's body. The old man was puzzled, Xu San was still hugging him to show his loyalty. Uncle Li didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Okay, the matter of the flower garden is not your fault, Xu San, just stay away from the flower garden."

When Grandpa Li said this, Xu San's first reaction was to secretly look at Yan Yue's expression. Yan Yue just glanced at him lightly, and Xu San immediately understood, and hurriedly promised again that he would get out of the way as far as possible in the future, and would never appear in the flower garden to bother the old man.

"Okay, okay." Uncle Li was annoyed by Xu San's pestering, so he sent Xu San away and turned to ask Yan Yue what was going on.

Yan Yue said casually that Xu San saw that the flower garden had been doing well recently and wanted to take over the flower garden because he was jealous. There shouldn't be any problems after this time. After he said this, Uncle Li was relieved and invited the two to his house for dinner.

"You must be hungry, let's go for a walk. Tonight we're having mixed dumplings. I guess people in the city don't eat this much anymore."

As Uncle Li left, Lu Lingxi approached Yan Yue with some curiosity, wanting to ask what Yan Yue had done. According to Uncle Li's description, Xu San was a complete rogue, so how could he admit what he had done so quickly.

Facing the boy's curious eyes, Yan Yue said seriously: "I didn't do anything, I just explained the reason to him."

Lu Lingxi: “…”

With a smile in his eyes, Yan Yue reached out and rubbed Lu Lingxi's hair, coaxing: "Don't worry about Xu San, let's go eat first. We will stay here tonight to add some popularity to the flower garden."

"good."

Lu Lingxi did not ask any more questions, but Xu San, who left the flower garden, was gritting his teeth in hatred. They were from the same village, and Xu San's house was not far from Uncle Li's. He was now stripping naked and standing in front of the mirror, looking for wounds on his body.

Dark, too dark!

Xu San had never seen anyone more vicious than Yan Yue. He walked around in front of the mirror for nearly a dozen times, but he didn't see any redness or swelling on his body. He looked exactly the same as usual, but he was in so much pain inside that he could hardly stand. Xu San trembled as he supported the table and slowly moved to the kang. He cursed Yan Yue to death in his heart, but he was also really afraid of Yan Yue. He had never seen a person like Yan Yue before. He didn't even blink when he attacked, and he wouldn't let him scream. If he dared to scream, he would be even more ruthless. And the dog was squatting on the side with a fierce look in his eyes. If he dared to run, it would bite him with its teeth bared. How did he provoke these two killers?

After Xu San finished scolding Yan Yue, he scolded Qiu Jun. It was that bastard Qiu Jun who asked him to find a way to get close to the flower garden to see if he could steal some technology. That bastard didn't explain clearly. He had met Du Lin several times before and thought it was his former employer, but the flower garden changed. Let's not talk about anything else. Just look at the car that Yan Yue drove. Can he afford to offend? He really agreed to it because he was blinded by money. He was waiting for Qiu Jun to suffer a loss at the hands of Yan Yue, so that Qiu Jun could also taste what he was feeling now.

Xu San cursed in his heart, but he still had to put on his clothes and go to guard the flower garden for Yan Yue. He was not joking when he told Uncle Li that the safety of the flower garden would be entrusted to him in the future. If he dared to cause any trouble to the flower garden, Yan Yue would find trouble with him. He could neither afford to provoke nor hide, so he could only obey.

After solving Xu San's problem, Lu Lingxi went into the flower garden after dinner. Like Uncle Li, he believed that Xu San wanted to take over the flower garden because he was jealous of the money it made. Since Yan Yue said it was okay, Lu Lingxi stopped thinking about it and focused his attention on the flower garden.

Since the last time he connected to the backyard through the white panel, Lu Lingxi discovered that the panel had one more function. It was no longer just about seeing the condition of the plants, but also about the condition of the land where the plants grew. Of course, the range he could see was still limited to three meters, just like the mental scan.

As he saw, a small area of ​​the flower garden appeared on the white panel, and the color of the soil was light brown. Lu Lingxi initially thought that all soils were the same color, but the difference in the color of the soil in the backyard and the flower garden made him realize his mistake. He checked online and found that normally the color of the soil would be different depending on the regional environment, but the panel display did not depend on the regional environment, but on the degree of soil pollution.

For example, the soil in the backyard has been purified by natural forces, so it appears transparent and light on the panel. As the soil becomes more polluted, the color on the panel becomes darker. Compared to the dark brown soil in Fengcheng City, the pollution in the flower garden is obviously much lighter.

Lu Lingxi squatted beside the flowerbed, holding the soil in his hand and studying it for a long time. The less polluted the soil, the better the plants grow on it, and the better the corresponding environment will be. Repeated cycles will form a good ecological environment, just like his backyard. It would be great if the flowerbed could be purified like the backyard someday.

The thought flashed through Lu Lingxi's mind, and he clapped his hands and stood up, walking around the flowerbed to the willow sapling that had been transplanted a few days ago. The backyard was too small, so there was no way to plant the willow sapling in the backyard before. As soon as the willow sapling was grown, Lu Lingxi and Yi Hang transplanted it to the flowerbed.

After not seeing it for a few days, the leaves on the willow sapling seemed to have grown a little bigger, and the branches were swaying, looking very energetic. Looking at the sapling, Lu Lingxi couldn't help but think of the saplings he had seen in South City last time. He wondered how they were doing.

Kew Gardening

Qiu Jun, with a gloomy face, directed the workers to transplant all the 5-centimeter willow seedlings growing in the nursery, and prepared to go to several places in the city overnight to replace the seedlings that might be investigated by the higher-ups. When Lv Hongxin approached him a few days ago, he was still thinking about saving as much as possible and trying to save costs. But today he suddenly received news that the higher-ups wanted to check the results of this greening project in advance, and he could no longer wait for him to slowly find a way to save those saplings.

Qiu Jun calculated that Qiutian Gardening would inevitably bleed a lot of money. He would have to spend all the money he earned from this project on this trip, and this was still an optimistic estimate. If something went wrong and the city expanded the scope of the inspection, they would lose money on this project.

Qiu Jun was very upset. A worker came over and asked him what to do with the transplanted seedlings.

Qiu Jun waved his hand and said, "Pick them out and bring back the ones that can be saved. If they can't be saved, just find a random place to throw them away along the way."

With his words, the workers felt relieved. That night, they picked and chose, breaking off dozens of saplings and throwing them on the road. When passing a village, the workers on the truck threw down the last few saplings.

"It's a good deal for them. Let's see who will pick it up and use it as firewood tomorrow morning."
