Before Micro Gardening closed, the police sent Dahei back.
After checking that Dahei was unharmed, Lu Lingxi politely thanked the policeman who came to his door. The policeman praised Dahei again and again in front of Lu Lingxi, and Lu Lingxi was so happy that he took out a bag of grapes for the policeman to take home. The policeman was happy when he saw it, and thought that since Fang Tuai could borrow the dog from here, he must be someone he knew, so he didn't refuse.
Not long after the police left, Lu Lingxi and Yan Yue packed up and took Dahei to Xiaohua Home Cooking Restaurant.
Xiaohua Home Cooking Restaurant has been open for a while and has firmly established itself near the community. Everyone knows that the home cooking there is delicious, the proprietress is honest, and the food is clean and safe. Every day from noon to night, the business is booming. Some people even come from other places to eat here and give it a thumbs up after eating.
A few days ago, Xiao Feng discussed with Wang Shuxiu that after they got married, they would expand the restaurant and hire a few more people. Wang Shuxiu would not have to work so hard and could just be a boss. Wang Shuxiu didn't say anything, but she was happy. Her current life was like a dream. Half a year ago, she never thought that she would live so comfortably one day.
When Lu Lingxi and Yan Yue came over, there were still quite a few people in the restaurant. They rolled up their sleeves and wanted to help, but were stopped by Wang Shuxiu. Business was good during this period, and the restaurant had just hired two waiters. There were enough people in the kitchen, and they didn't need to make trouble. "Go upstairs and wait for dinner. I stewed a chicken for you. It's cold and you need to replenish yourself. I stewed it at noon, and you can cook some vegetables later." Wang Shuxiu said as she went to cook, and then she drove Yi Hang upstairs so that the three of them could eat together.
"Third brother, Brother Yan."
Yi Hang brought a bowl of grapes, said hello and went to squeeze in with Lu Lingxi. He was used to being close to Lu Lingxi and completely ignored Yan Yue's sullen face. Yan Yue felt jealous. Lu Lingxi and Yi Hang looked like they were the same age. Every time at this time, Yan Yue would think that he was a little old. Yi Hang didn't care what Yan Yue thought. He pulled Lu Lingxi and started to bite his ear. more than the matter of Zheng Tan and Bai Wei.
It is said that Zheng Tan is living a good life. He likes cars, so learning to repair cars is also a hobby. Bai Wei is a little pitiful. He has been learning cooking for a few months, but he is still practicing cutting radishes. Bai Wei said that his father enrolled him in the "Gold Medal Chef" class, which takes two years to complete, and he has to cut radishes for half a year.
After Lu Lingxi "lost his memory", Zheng Tan and Bai Wei said that he became a lot more depressed. In addition, they were far away from each other, so they just called and sent text messages to ask about Lu Lingxi's health. They usually chatted with Yi Hang about such trivial matters in life, and Yi Hang would pass them on to Lu Lingxi as gossip.
Sure enough, Lu Lingxi was a little surprised to hear Bai Wei was still cutting radishes, "You want to cut radishes for half a year?"
Yi Hang nodded, with a hint of sympathy, "Old Three, how about letting Old Four come back and work with your mother? It's much better than learning to be a top chef there."
There is definitely no problem for Bai Wei to come to the restaurant, but... Lu Lingxi asked worriedly: "Will Uncle Bai agree?"
Yi Hang sneered, "Old Third, you are stupid. This matter must be done without authorization. Have you forgotten what we did in the past?"
Lu Lingxi: “…”
"Oh, you really forgot." Yi Hang came to his senses and sighed, "Old Two told me last time that it would be great if Old Three could remember the past."
Speaking of this, Lu Lingxi fell silent. Every time at this time, he didn't know how to face Yi Hang. Seeing that he didn't say anything, Yi Hang felt a little regretful and secretly cursed himself for bringing up something that was not relevant. "Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. know that?"
Lu Lingxi: “…”
He didn't know, but Xiao Feng knew.
When Hu Zi was delivering grapes to the store in the afternoon, Gao Yongliang happened to come over. Gao Yongliang's attitude was casual, as if he was just passing by and visiting, which was indeed the case. The last time they met, Gao Yongliang had a good impression of Wang Shuxiu. Maybe people have preconceived ideas. He met Lu Lingxi first, and subconsciously felt that the mother who could raise a child like Lu Lingxi must be good. When he met Wang Shuxiu, although the other party was different from the gentleness he imagined, Wang Shuxiu's unique cheerfulness and brightness left a deep impression on him.
Today, he was just passing by the neighborhood by accident, and suddenly he thought of going to Xiaohua Home Cooking Restaurant. As a man who has lived abroad for many years and has good habits, Gao Yongliang naturally would not come empty-handed, but brought his recently developed perfume. Who would have thought that he would be seen by Hu Zi.
虎子气的厉害，峰哥都要和小花老板娘结婚了，这老白脸还敢来挖峰哥的墙角。他转身就把这件事告诉了肖峰，义愤填膺地在电话里问：“要不要我和二飞揍他一顿？”
Xiao Feng found it funny and cursed, "Come back now and stop causing trouble for me."
"Boss?"
"That's fine. He likes Xiaohua because he has good taste. It's fine if Xiaohua doesn't like him."
After Xiao Feng said this, Hu Zi came to his senses. The boss lady of Xiaohua fell in love with Brother Feng, so why should Brother Feng be? If he had to be, it would be that old white-faced man. Hu Zi let it go, but Xiao Feng was thinking about what Hu Zi said about Gao Yongliang bringing gifts to Wang Shuxiu. Speaking of angry angry of which, he had known Wang Shuxiu for so long, but he had never given her any gifts. He hadn't thought of this either, and thought that it would be fine to give all his wealth to Wang Shuxiu and let her spend it, without any so-called romantic sentiment.
He thought about it, handed over the vegetable greenhouse to Ding Er, drove all the way back to the city, found a gold shop and picked out a bracelet for Wang Shuxiu. Considering that Wang Shuxiu was busy with kitchen work every day, Xiao Feng did not pick out jadeite or anything like that, for fear that Xiaohua would be reluctant to wear it and would bump it and make the bracelet a sacrifice.
As soon as Xiao Feng arrived at the restaurant, Yi Hang saw him from the upstairs window. "Look, Third Brother, Brother Feng is here."
Lu Lingxi was teasing Dahei with Yan Yue. Hearing what was said, he looked out the window and saw that it was indeed Xiao Feng coming over.
Yi Hang winked at Lu Lingxi, "Brother Feng must have brought a gift for Sister Xiaohua? What do you think Brother Feng will give her?"
Lu Lingxi glared at Yi Hang speechlessly. How could he know?
Yan Yue was originally touching Dahei's head with a nonchalant look on his face, but when he heard Yi Hang's question, he became interested. The three people and the dog were bored and squeezed downstairs, and saw that Wang Shuxiu had a beautifully carved bracelet on her wrist. Seeing the three of them coming down, Xiao Feng guessed something in his mind and couldn't help but smile faintly. When he smiled, Wang Shuxiu felt embarrassed for some reason, glared at a few people angrily, and couldn't help laughing.
Lin Mei soon found out about this. The next day, when no one was in the store, she teased Wang Shuxiu. "Come on, let me see your bracelet. Xiao Feng is a very honest person. He is not afraid that your hand will be too heavy."
The two were sitting in a corner of the kitchen picking vegetables. Wang Shuxiu immediately rolled her eyes at Lin Mei. Lin Mei was so happy that she pushed Wang Shuxiu and said, "Hey, seriously, Gao Yongliang is not really interested in you, is he?"
"How is that possible?" Wang Shuxiu kept working while chatting with Lin Mei: "We are not the same kind of people at all."
She said it straightforwardly, and Lin Mei also put away her joking thoughts and sighed. They are really not the same kind of people. Apart from other things, Gao Yongliang and Xiaohua have completely different life levels and experiences. Even if they are attracted to each other for a while, they can't live together without a common language. Even if Brother Feng doesn't sound as good as others who come back from abroad, life is about being real, not looking good for others.
Lin Mei thought about it and laughed, "The old saying is right, it has to be a match made in heaven."
Wang Shuxiu thought about it and nodded.
That night, Yan Yue and Lu Lingxi went to the flower garden again. Uncle Li knew they were coming early in the morning and arranged for them to have dinner at his house in the evening. Lu Lingxi didn't refuse on the phone, so he had to agree. When he got out of the car with Dahei, a thumb-sized black head slowly emerged from under a withered yellow leaf on the big willow tree at the entrance of the village. The little black snake that had escaped from the North Suburbs Market moved out from under the leaves little by little. The little black snake raised half of its body, and its golden eyes looked curiously in the direction of the courtyard. It felt vaguely that there seemed to be something attracting it over there, which was more attractive to it than the tree it had found with great difficulty. After waiting for a while, it shook its tail and prepared to swim over to take a look.
Just as the little black snake swam underground along the tree trunk, Lu Lingxi and Yan Yue led Dahei out of the yard. The direction of the two people and the dog was the big willow tree. Halfway through the walk, Dahei, who had been trotting in front, suddenly stopped and blocked the two people, baring his teeth and growling threateningly. Lu Lingxi and Yan Yue were stunned and looked cautiously in the direction of the big willow tree. Winter nights get dark early, and Yan Yue shone a flashlight around but saw nothing.
Dahei arched his back in a defensive posture. Lu Lingxi could see Dahei's vigilance, but he didn't know what Dahei was wary of.
Under the willow tree, the little black snake looked at the big black snake hesitantly, remembering the smell of the big black snake. It turned around hesitantly, and climbed back to the top of the tree along the original path, shrinking back under the withered yellow leaf before, just sticking its head out to look down secretly.
Dahei slowly relaxed his vigilance and called out to Lu Lingxi in a low voice. Lu Lingxi understood what it meant, looked at the big willow tree with some doubt, and signaled Yan Yue and the others to go first.
"What's wrong?" Yan Yue asked.
Lu Lingxi whispered, "It seems that there is something on the tree that Dahei is very afraid of."
Yan Yue thought, "Could it be a snake?"
Only snakes can hide in the darkness. Other animals would have been discovered by the flashlight. But why are there snakes here?
Lu Lingxi shook his head. He had no idea what was going on.
The two of them took Dahei away from the big willow tree and turned into Uncle Li's yard. Uncle Li was very happy to see them coming, and hurriedly asked them to wash their hands and prepare for dinner. Tonight, Aunt Li prepared hot pot.
Several people were sweating while eating, and the aroma in the house spread out and drifted to the entrance of the village. On the willow tree, the little black snake poked its head out from under the leaves again, looking longingly at the yard of Uncle Li's house, and drooling unconsciously.
It was already eight o'clock in the evening when they finished their meal. Uncle Li had already lit the kang for them when Lu Lingxi and the others came. It should be burning brightly at this time. Uncle Li told Yan Yue to remember to add some charcoal when he returned. He had already settled everything in the outer room.
Yan Yue nodded, found a hat for Lu Lingxi to wear, and wrapped a scarf around him. The two walked out of Uncle Li's yard hand in hand. This time when they passed the big willow tree, Dahei was not as alert as when they came. Yan Yue frowned slightly, "It seems that the thing on the tree has left."
Lu Lingxi breathed a relief. It was the first time he saw Dahei being sigh so afraid of something. The two returned to the courtyard and were about to enter the house when Dahei, who had been quiet all the way, suddenly shouted, hunched his back and growled at the door with suppressed anger.
Yan Yue blocked Lu Lingxi's way and gently pushed the door open. Under the light, a small black snake as thick as a finger kept crawling towards the house and stared at them blankly. Perhaps started by their movements, the tip of the small black snake's thin tail swung on the ground, and Lu Lingxi didn't know why he thought of the big black snake shaking its tail.
"Hiss." The little black snake hissed.
Yan Yue frowned slightly, he felt that he seemed to understand what the little black snake was saying. Before Yan Yue could react, the little black snake glanced at the two people, seeing that they did not seem to be prepared to stop it, and continued to crawl slowly towards the inner room.
Dahei was a little irritable when he saw the little black snake enter the house. Lu Lingxi touched Dahei's head soothingly, wondering why Dahei was afraid of this little black snake. Dahei rubbed Lu Lingxi's palm and followed him in with his back hunched. Inside the house, the little black snake was trying hard to climb up the kang along the edge of the kang. "snap", the little black snake fell straight down. After circling around in a daze, the little black snake continued to struggle towards its destination crookedly. This time, just like the last time, the little black snake also climbed halfway and fell to the ground again.
Lu Lingxi & Yan Yue: "..."
After three times in a row, Lian Dahei's face showed a humane expression of not being able to bear to look at it.
The little black snake stupidly circled on the ground, turned towards Lu Lingxi, and hissed.
Yan Yue frowned, took a step forward, grabbed the little black snake's tail and threw it on the kang. The little black snake seemed very comfortable, and moved to the head of the kang little by little. It might have intended to just circle around happily, but it ended up tying itself into an unsolvable knot.
“…”
The little black snake was left on the kang in a knot. Yan Yue used his notebook to search the Internet for a long time but could not find out what kind of snake it was. The only thing that was certain was that it was a non-venomous snake.
After Lu Lingxi washed his face, he saw the little black snake still trying to untie the knot on its body, but it was untying the wrong direction every time. Dahei squatted on the side and watched it. His original vigilance had long gone, and he returned to his previous calmness.
He couldn't help but laugh, and turned to ask Yan Yue, "Are you going to leave it here tonight?"
Yan Yue lowered his head and kissed Lu Lingxi on the head, then said thoughtfully, "I'll find a box to keep it in. It looks like it can untie the knot before tomorrow morning." After he finished speaking, he looked at the little black snake thoughtfully. This little black snake must not be an ordinary snake, as it can make the big black snake react so strongly. But seeing the little black snake anxiously unable to untie the knot, Yan Yue got a headache. No matter how powerful its species was, what good would it be if it was so stupid?
What made Yan Yue even more headache was that he seemed to really understand what the little black snake meant.
He and Lu Lingxi had discussed the evolution of animals and humans. The few examples of "evolution" that had appeared so far seemed to be exchanges between humans and animals. But this kind of communication was one-to-one, and they were not sure whether one-to-many would occur.
But if it was really a one-on-one, did he evolve just to listen to a stupid snake shouting and spinning in circles feeling dizzy?
