When Yan Yue came to pick up Lu Lingxi in the evening, he kept thinking about what Ye Kang said. "The Lu family is now like a balloon with air leaking everywhere. They will fall down on their own without any outsiders doing anything."
Yan Yue understood what he meant. When Lu Lingxi was alive, the relationship in the Lu family was distorted, but it maintained a delicate balance. When Lu Lingxi died, the balance was broken, and all the ugliness hidden under the bright appearance was exposed. Mother Lu's partiality, father Lu's indifference, and Lu Weian's selfishness were all exposed to the public. No matter what they do now, no matter what they explain, the first thing people think of when they see them is the dead Lu Lingxi. This is why Lu Weian has a hard time in social occasions and is ostracized in the Lu family. In order to change this situation, Lu Weian even took the first step by marrying Yin Ya.
Although this matter was partly due to Yan Yue's calculations, the selfishness shown by Lu Weian in this matter still made Yan Yue feel sorry for Lu Lingxi. He didn't know what Lu Lingxi would think after hearing this, but he always tried to avoid mentioning the news of the Zhongjing Lu family in front of Lu Lingxi. If possible, Yan Yue hoped to completely isolate the Lu family from Lu Lingxi's life and never have any involvement again.
"Brother Yan." Lu Lingxi saw Yan Yue waving at him through the car window.
Yan Yue came back to his senses and smiled slightly with the corners of his lips curled up. At the entrance of Micro Garden, a half-man-tall Husky was clinging to Lu Lingxi's legs and wagging its tail. He recognized this dog, as someone had fostered it in the pet shop opposite. Perhaps because Dahei had been away for the past few days, the cats and dogs raised by Dong Zhi ran to Micro Garden whenever they had the chance. This Husky ran the most frequently, and even ate a lot of the bones that Grandma Wang prepared for Dahei.
It was obvious that Lu Lingxi also liked this Husky. She was used to Dahei's understanding and calmness, and all the dogs around her were well behaved by Dahei. It was rare to see a dog lying on the ground with its belly up and rolling around to act cute towards Lu Lingxi, just to chew on an extra bone.
Yan Yue had just parked the car and opened the door when Lu Lingxi came to meet him. The Husky habitually wanted to follow him, looked up at Yan Yue's expression, and huddled aside with its tail between its legs. Dong Zhi saw this in Micro Gardening and laughed. While greeting the Husky, he teased Yan Yue, "The owner of this Husky said that it is crazy about people and doesn't know how to read people's expressions. We should really take a picture of what happened just now and show it to its owner."
Yan Yue chuckled and shook Xiao Hei in his hand, "It's probably Xiao Hei that it's afraid of."
Dong Zhi also smiled when he saw Xiao Hei biting Yan Yue's sleeve. He glanced at the time and knew that Yan Yue was here to pick up Lu Lingxi, so he didn't stay in Weiyuan for long. He said a few words and then dragged the reluctant Husky back home.
As soon as Dong Zhi left, Yan Yue stopped hiding her feelings and went over to ruffle Lu Lingxi's hair affectionately, "Pack up and let's go home."
As they were talking, Xiao Hei followed Yan Yue's hand and climbed onto Lu Lingxi's shoulder, biting Lu Lingxi's sweater and curling around it. Lu Lingxi raised his hand and touched Xiao Hei, and felt that without Da Hei, even Xiao Hei felt a lot less energetic. He remembered something, "Brother Yan, are you busy tomorrow? Brother Fang is going to take us to see Da Hei and bring him back."
"Is he done with that?" Yan Yue asked.
Lu Lingxi nodded with amusement as he thought of something. "The stray dog's training is almost done. Originally, Brother Fang said he wanted to keep Dahei for a few more days, but Dahei and Xiaohui had a fierce fight. Xiaohui always suffered a loss and turned around to bully Brother Fang. Brother Fang said he couldn't stand it anymore."
Yan Yue imagined the scene that Lu Lingxi described and couldn't help but laugh.
It was less than six o'clock when the two of them packed up and went home, and Yan Yue specially sent Lu Lingxi to the door of his house. He used to avoid suspicion and rarely came over when Wang Shuxiu was at home, but now that his status was different, he came over openly.
It was Xiao Feng who opened the door. He couldn't help but laugh when he saw Yan Yue. In the morning, Yan Yue took Lu Lingxi away, and Xiao Hua was stunned for a long time. Now that Yan Yue sent Lu Lingxi back, Xiao Hua must be feeling uncomfortable again.
"Do you want to come in?" Xiao Feng asked casually.
Yan Yue smiled and shook his head. Some things cannot be rushed and need to be done step by step. He waved at Lu Lingxi, who looked at him reluctantly and went into the house obediently.
In the living room, Wang Shuxiu was listening to the noise at the door. When she saw Lu Lingxi coming in, she immediately turned her head to look at the TV, with a stern face and no words. Lu Lingxi curled her eyes, knowing that Wang Shuxiu was always hard on the outside but soft on the inside, so she approached her in a flattering way, "Mom, I'm back."
Wang Shuxiu wanted to keep a blank expression, but seeing Lu Lingxi's smile, she couldn't help but soften her attitude. She reached out and poked Lu Lingxi with a finger and said, "Are you hungry? The meal is almost ready. Just wait for your dad to cook some vegetables."
Although Lu Lingxi was not very hungry, he still nodded in agreement. When he nodded, Wang Shuxiu's attention was immediately diverted. She thought that she had not been to the small restaurant these days after the New Year, and she didn't know whether Yan Yue went to the small restaurant to bring lunch for Lu Lingxi at noon. Could it be that the little bastard just ate outside at noon every day? She grabbed Lu Lingxi and felt that Lu Lingxi had lost weight again in the past few days. She was immediately distressed and immediately pushed the responsibility to Yan Yue, thinking that Yan Yue did not take good care of Lu Lingxi.
"There is a cake in the refrigerator that your uncle brought. Eat some first to fill your stomach."
"Uncle and the others came over during the day?"
Wang Shuxiu hummed and said, "After the 15th, your uncle will go back to the northwest and come to see your father for something."
She said it in a simple sentence. In fact, Xiao Hong came to discuss with Xiao Feng about transferring the coal mine in his hometown in the northwest. Xiao Feng would probably have to go back with him. Originally, Xiao Feng hoped that Xiao Hong could come to Fengcheng to join him. Xiao Hong was not short of money anyway. If he was willing to work in a vegetable greenhouse together, that would be the best. If he was not willing, he could rest or do something else. He said it several times, but Xiao Hong could not make up his mind. When the news of Wang Shuxiu's pregnancy came out, Xiao Hong was fine. Zhou Xiaoman was the first to express her desire to stay in Fengcheng. After all, she was the child's aunt. Wang Shuxiu would definitely not be able to take care of the child alone. She could help by staying.
Zhou Xiaoman's wishes have always been the direction of Xiao Hong's actions. Since his wife wanted to stay here, Xiao Hong officially put settling in Fengcheng on the agenda.
Wang Shuxiu recalled something at this point and asked Lu Lingxi, "Do you know the old Chinese doctor who treated me last time, Xiaoxi?"
Lu Lingxi nodded.
Wang Shuxiu hesitated for a moment, then pulled Lu Lingxi and said, "Xiaoxi, can you find that old Chinese doctor and ask him to help your aunt as well?"
Speaking of which, Zhou Xiaoman and Xiao Hong have been seeing a lot of Chinese and Western doctors for the past few years. No matter how they check, they are told that they are fine and it is just not their destiny. After hearing this, they have given up hope for the past few years. This time Wang Shuxiu is pregnant, Zhou Xiaoman is even happier than Wang Shuxiu herself. Every time she comes, she brings a lot of things. Now Xiao Feng and Wang Shuxiu's room is full of clothes and toys prepared by Zhou Xiaoman for the unborn child. Wang Shuxiu calculated that after the child is born, she will not need to buy clothes before the child is two years old.
Although Zhou Xiaoman said nothing, Wang Shuxiu could still see the envy and sadness in her eyes. She couldn't help much with this matter, so she thought about asking the old Chinese doctor for help. She had inquired privately, and the old Chinese doctor who took her pulse last time was the retired director of Fengcheng Chinese Medicine Hospital, with a lot of experience, the kind that most people can't find even if they have connections.
After she finished speaking, Lu Lingxi felt that there should be no problem. In the morning, Mr. Zhang also asked about Wang Shuxiu's health and asked if he could take her pulse again sometime. He felt that Mr. Zhang was so enthusiastic that he would definitely not refuse to help his aunt. Besides, he had a secret weapon, the mutant camellia in the flower garden, which he could use to "bribe" Mr. Zhang, who would definitely like it.
As Lu Lingxi was talking, he called Mr. Zhang. Mr. Zhang thought that Lu Lingxi was talking about going to Kunnan, so he picked up the phone excitedly and asked Lu Lingxi if she had decided to go to the Kunnan Flower Show with him.
Lu Lingxi felt a little embarrassed as he had not yet made a decision about the Kunnan Flower Show.
Hearing that Lu Lingxi wanted him to help take the pulse of his family, Zhang Lao agreed immediately. It was not a big deal and would be done in a short while. The two of them made an appointment at the Micro Gardening. Zhang Lao liked the environment of Micro Gardening and would stroll over when he had nothing to do.
After hanging up the phone, Wang Shuxiu was also very happy. She first said goodbye to Zhou Xiaoman, and then asked Lu Ling about the Xikunnan Flower Exhibition.
Lu Lingxi briefly explained, and Wang Shuxiu immediately made the decision, "Go, you must go. This is a good opportunity, you can go out and broaden your horizons, and by the way, you can stay there for a few more days and go around Kunnan. I heard that the scenery there is nice, and you little bastard should relax after working hard for a year."
"But mom is pregnant..." Lu Lingxi hesitated and said, "I want to be with mom."
Wang Shuxiu gave him a glare and said, "Your father is here, so it's no use for you to accompany him."
Xiao Feng was just serving the food after cooking it when he heard this and asked, "What's wrong?"
Wang Shuxiu smiled and told the story about the Kunnan Flower Show, and Xiao Feng also laughed as he listened.
"Go ahead, Xiaoxi. Go out and have fun. You don't have to worry about me at home."
They both supported Lu Lingxi to go to the Kunnan Flower Show, and Lu Lingxi thought about it and didn't insist. Xiao Feng heard that the flower show was in early May, so he wanted to settle the matter in the northwest with Xiao Hong before April, so that Xiaohua would not be left alone at home when Lu Lingxi and he were both gone. Especially in the northwest, there was also a Lu Yishui, and if the coal mine was transferred, Lu Yishui's stay or departure would also be a problem. If it were normal times, he would not be afraid, but now that Xiaohua was pregnant, he had to be cautious and not give Lu Yishui the opportunity to bother Xiaohua.
Xiao Feng was thinking in his mind, looking at Wang Shuxiu and then at Lu Lingxi, and felt that he should talk to Yan Yue about this matter.
