The person who came was a middle-aged man, slightly fat and quite bald. Perhaps because he ran too fast, his bald forehead was covered with sweat.
Du Lin obviously knew the other person and quickly went over to greet him, "Brother Cheng, what's wrong?"
The slightly plump man called Brother Cheng didn't bother to wipe the sweat off his head, and hurriedly pulled Du Lin to look at the azalea in his arms, "Do you still remember the pot of azalea I bought last time?"
Du Lin nodded. The full name of the azalea in Cheng Ge's arms is Belgian azalea. It is a hybrid cultivar. Because of its large and bright flowers, beautiful flower shape, and the ability to bloom all year round, it is very popular in the flower market. Belgian azalea is divided into different varieties according to the color of the flowers. The pot that Cheng Ge bought is a racehorse. The flowers of the racehorse are generally white, with bright pink edges, and occasionally red spots that smudge from the edges to the inside, which looks very beautiful.
"What's wrong with this pot of racehorse?" Du Lin asked.
Brother Cheng carefully placed the flowers on the table and said anxiously, "I don't know what's going on. The leaves and flowers are falling off so badly. Look, they've only been blooming for a few days and they're almost gone." Brother Cheng has been on a business trip this week. Everything was fine before he left, but when he came back today, something was wrong. Where did the flowers go? His family couldn't explain it, so Brother Cheng came to Du Lin anxiously, holding the flowers.
Du Lin listened to Brother Cheng's words, and then she kneaded the soil again, and she had a rough idea in her mind. There were only a few reasons why the Belgian azalea flowers fell. She turned around and waved at Lu Lingxi, "Xiao Xi, come and take a look. Tell me what the reason is."
As early as when Brother Cheng came in, Lu Lingxi had already seen the flowers in his arms. After hearing what Du Lin said, Lu Lingxi quickly walked over, and Yi Hang followed. The azalea in front of him was actually blooming quite well, but there were a few flowers, and it felt like the flowering period was about to end. On the white panel, the three-dimensional azalea rotated in a circle, and there was no problem from the root system to the flower plant. Lu Lingxi glanced at the needs of the plant, looked at Brother Cheng carefully and asked: "Did your family put this pot of flowers together with the fruit plate?"
Brother Cheng looked at Lu Lingxi in surprise, "Little brother, how did you know? This pot of flowers bloomed so beautifully that the old lady placed it on the coffee table and stacked several fruit plates next to it, saying that it would look good."
As soon as Brother Cheng finished speaking, Du Lin laughed helplessly. "Didn't I tell you that you can't put azalea flowers together with fruit bowls when they are in bloom? The ripe fruits will emit ethylene, which will stimulate the azalea to shed its leaves and end its flowering period early."
"Oh, I forgot." Brother Cheng slapped his head and exclaimed.
"So there's nothing else?" Brother Cheng looked at Lu Lingxi carefully.
Lu Lingxi shook his head. The panel showed that there was no other problem with the azalea.
Brother Cheng was relieved, patted Lu Lingxi's shoulder vigorously, and praised: "Not bad, young man."
Lu Lingxi smiled shyly, and Du Lin became more satisfied with Lu Lingxi. She didn't expect Lu Lingxi to be so knowledgeable. When signing the contract, Du Lin took the initiative to skip the probation period and gave a very generous salary.
"Xiao Xi, is there any problem with going to work tomorrow?"
Lu Lingxi hesitated for a few seconds and nodded affirmatively.
"That's good. Come over tomorrow and we'll take over. I'm afraid I won't be able to come here often during this period, so I'll leave the store to you. If you have any questions, just call me."
"Yeah, okay."
After setting the time for the handover the next day, Lu Lingxi didn't stay in the store for long because he still had to go to the bookstore to buy books. Yi Hang was amazed at Lu Lingxi's performance along the way, and poked Lu Lingxi from time to time, "Hey, third brother, when did you do all this? How come I didn't know you knew about flowers and plants?"
Lu Lingxi felt a little guilty about this question and just smiled without saying anything.
Yi Hang poked several times but couldn't get an answer, so he quickly changed his focus. "Hey, have you ever thought about what you're going to do after you get paid?"
Lu Lingxi was stunned for a moment, and Wang Shuxiu's figure flashed in his mind. He wondered what Wang Shuxiu liked? Jewelry, accessories, or clothes?
"What are you thinking about?"
"I want to buy my mother a gift after I get my salary."
Yi Hang scratched his hair and clung to Lu Lingxi, "Okay, the third child has grown up. I am finally relieved."
Lu Lingxi: “…”
The distance from Micro Garden to the bookstore was not far, so the two of them did not take the bus, but walked all the way there. Yi Hang remembered that Lu Lingxi had lost his memory, so he would point out the intersection to Lu Lingxi several times at every intersection. In his words, this was called strengthening memory. The area where they were active was in the center of Fengcheng, and the area was very prosperous. It was the time to get off work, and the crowd was bustling and lively.
Yi Hang was standing on the side of the road with Lu Lingxi, waiting for the red light. Suddenly, he pointed at a car in front of him and exclaimed.
"Fuck, look at that car, the latest model from Jaguar."
Lu Lingxi was startled by Yi Hang's reaction. He looked in the direction his finger pointed and saw a small black car parked on the side of the road, also waiting for the red light with them.
Yi Hang was drooling at the car with envy. Lu Lingxi saw the license plate number at a glance and knew that the car came from Zhongjing.
Inside the Jaguar, Yan Yue held the steering wheel expressionlessly, his slender index finger tapping rhythmically, revealing a hint of patience. On the passenger seat beside him, a silver-white cell phone lay there, and the screen showed that it was in a call.
"Ayue, are you listening to me?"
"Xiao Ya is your sister after all, how can you be so cold to her? I heard from the housekeeper that you refused to even see her, do you know how sad Xiao Ya is?"
"This time when you returned to China, Xiaoya went to see you happily, but what was the result?"
"Ayue, are you still angry with mom? Are you still unwilling to forgive mom?"
"It was your father who wronged me first. Can't I pursue my own happiness?"
The female voice on the phone kept repeating the same words over and over again. Yan Yue suppressed the urge to throw the phone out the window and waited for his mother on the other end of the phone to hang up. As the red light turned green and the traffic flowed, the impatience in Yan Yue's eyes faded slightly. He glanced out the window nonchalantly and drove away from the intersection.
Lu Lingxi did not pay much attention to the Jaguar. His mind was on how to talk to Wang Shuxiu about going to work tomorrow.
"Hurry up, the light is green."
Someone shouted, and Lu Lingxi came back to his senses. He glanced at the large sign of the bookstore across the street and temporarily suppressed his worries.
Lu Lingxi bought a lot of books in the bookstore, most of which were about flower planting and agricultural planting. Yi Hang followed Lu Lingxi boredly, wondering what was so interesting about these books.
That night, Lu Lingxi read a book about common crop planting and management methods with great interest. There was a special chapter about tomato planting and management. According to the book, normal tomato sowing is divided into spring sowing and summer sowing. Spring sowing has to wait until next year, and Lu Lingxi can't wait. Summer sowing is just the right time. In addition to the sowing time, the book also emphasizes the treatment of seeds. Ordinary seeds need to be disinfected before sowing. Lu Lingxi looked at the seeds in his hand. He didn't know how to judge the quality of seeds, but these seeds were rewards from the last upgrade panel, so they should be good. He decided to skip the disinfection process.
After studying how to sow seeds carefully for a long time, Lu Lingxi connected a water pipe from the kitchen and carefully watered the backyard soil until it was soaked. He and Yi Hang had already turned the soil over when they were weeding in the afternoon. Lu Lingxi followed the instructions in the book, evenly spread the seeds, and then carefully covered them with a layer of nutrient soil.
After finishing everything, Lu Lingxi took a quick shower, swung his long legs and sat on the balcony, looking at the fruits of his labor with satisfaction. When will these seeds sprout? When will they bear fruit? Will the tomatoes be delicious? He imagined the small sprouts growing day by day, the green fruits bearing fruit, and then getting bigger and redder day by day, hanging heavily on the plants, and couldn't help but smile slightly.
The first night after leaving the hospital, Lu Lingxi suffered from insomnia. He tossed and turned in excitement and couldn't fall asleep. All he could think about were the big, red tomatoes. He wished that when he opened his eyes the next day, all the tomatoes in the backyard would have grown.
That night, Yan Yue also suffered from insomnia.
Unlike Lu Lingxi who couldn't sleep because of excitement, Yan Yue's insomnia has become a habit. At two o'clock in the morning, Yan Yue opened the window, leaned against the window and lit a cigarette. He couldn't remember how many times he couldn't sleep at night and waited for dawn alone from late at night. Ye Kang said that his insomnia is a psychological disease and he must adjust himself. Yan Yue didn't comment on Ye Kang's conclusion on the surface, but subconsciously he agreed with Ye Kang's words, otherwise he wouldn't have let Ye Kang, a half-baked psychologist, torment him for several years.
Yan Yue still remembers that the first time he suffered from insomnia was when he was six years old. That day, his parents moved out of the Yan family one after another, and only he, the housekeeper, and several maids were left in the huge house. Although his parents had separated because of their bad relationship before, and the so-called family living together was just a formality, but that night, facing the empty house, Yan Yue still felt that he was completely abandoned by his parents. Yan Yue did not sleep all night, but sat in the living room with a pillow in his arms until dawn, which scared the housekeeper who got up early.
From that day on, Yan Yue had trouble sleeping more and more at night. He got used to wandering around the Yan family mansion alone at night, and when he got tired of wandering, he would go back to his room to sleep. This situation continued for several years until he grew up and began to learn to control his behavior.
The only person in the Yan family who knew about his insomnia was the housekeeper. At first, the housekeeper was worried that he was afraid of the dark, so he turned on all the lights in the Yan family at night. Later, when the housekeeper knew that he had insomnia, he wanted to turn off all the lights when it got dark. Over the years, the servants of the Yan family got used to going to bed as soon as it got dark. Even during the years he stayed abroad, this habit of the Yan family mansion did not change.
