Yan Yue and his party stayed in Lingshui Village until evening, and had dinner at Uncle Li's house before returning to Fengcheng.
Although Uncle Li didn't know where Old Min came from, he was very welcoming to him because he was a guest brought by Lu Lingxi. At dinner, Aunt Li steamed two baskets of oatmeal rolls, boiled a pot of mutton stew, and ordered Yan Yue to climb the wall to pick a few tender loofahs and stir-fry some loofah slices. The tomatoes and cucumbers in the yard were also edible, mixed with kale picked from the flower garden, it was a delicious cold dish.
Old Min praised the food highly and was very envious of Uncle Li's small courtyard. Not to mention that the food grown by oneself is safe to eat, the original taste alone is much better than the vegetables grown in the market. Although he has been in politics for many years, his hometown is in the countryside of Fengcheng. When he was a child, he did a lot of farm work. He was very knowledgeable when talking to Old Min about the vegetables grown in the courtyard. The two of them got along better and better, and Old Min took the opportunity to ask about his doubts along the way.
Since the beginning of spring this year, there has been little rain in northern China. Many places are suffering from severe drought, and even spring planting is difficult. He noticed that Fengcheng had not seen any rain for nearly two months, but surprisingly, there was no sign of drought in Fengcheng, and all the plants in the fields were full of vitality. When he was in the city a few days ago, Mr. Min felt strange, but considering that the sanitation workers would water the plants regularly, he didn't think much about it. But today, when he left the city and went all the way to Lingshui Village, Mr. Min looked at the situation around him and felt a little confused.
Uncle Li himself actually found it strange. It is true that there is drought this year, as can be seen from the water level of Lingshui River which is a few centimeters lower than in previous years. However, there is no shortage of water in the fields this year. When the soil was turned over during spring sowing some time ago, it was wet, so there was no need to water the fields.
The villagers firmly believed that it was the blessing of the tree god. The evidence was that when Yan Yue paid for someone to dig a well, he accidentally dug a tree root several meters in diameter. The worker who was digging the well accidentally scratched the tree root, and clear water flowed out. This incident caused quite a stir in the village, and the workers buried the half-formed well overnight and dug a new well in another place.
"Tree God?"
Uncle Li’s story was too mysterious, and Old Min had a strange expression on his face.
Uncle Li laughed and said frankly: "The villagers don't understand science. When they encounter something they don't understand, they like to blame it on these weird things."
Old Min followed with a smile, but he remembered the word "Tree God" in his heart. Clear water flowed out from the broken tree roots. Not to mention the villagers of Lingshui Village, even Old Min had never heard of it before.
The two chatted loudly, and everyone in the room could hear it clearly. Lu Lingxi winked at Yan Yue, and Yan Yue smiled knowingly. The tacit understanding entangled the two like a stream of water, and Ye Kang, who was sitting next to them, felt inexplicably as if he was being rejected by something.
Not long after dinner, everyone prepared to return to Fengcheng. Before leaving, Lu Lingxi went to the flower garden and moved a few pots of evolved daylilies, asking Elder Min to bring them to Elder Zhang and Elder Zhao. Three pots of daylilies were just enough for each of them.
Daylilies are also known as forget-me-nots. Lu Lingxi picked a common variety of daylilies, "Sunshine Song". Lu Lingxi transplanted this variety because of its name. After blooming, "Sunshine Song" is golden in color, with petals in full bloom, just like the sun composing a song of life. Mr. Min liked it very much at first sight. Perhaps because of his age, he now likes this brightly colored, vibrant plant more and more.
"Grandpa Min will shamelessly take advantage of Old Man Zhang for once and accept this pot of daylilies." Old Min held the flowerpot in his arms lovingly and said with a smile.
Lu Lingxi curled his eyes and followed Yan Yue into the car.
This time, Mr. Min brought back not only daylilies but also samples of bamboo. The next day, he called Yan Yue and said that a friend of his wanted to meet Yan Yue and Zheng Xinhe to talk about bamboo. Anyone who could be called a friend by Mr. Min must not be an ordinary person. Yan Yue was fine, but Zheng Xinhe became excited after knowing Mr. Min's background.
During the time when Yan Yue and Lu Lingxi were away, Zheng Xinhe took Zhu Gang to many science and technology exhibitions. Zhu Gang's technology is novel, the raw materials are environmentally friendly, and the cost is low, which attracted a lot of attention at various exhibitions. But just like the problems that new things usually face, although everyone knows that Zhu Gang is a good thing, no one is willing to be the first to try it. Although Zheng Xinhe is not discouraged, he occasionally has a flame of anxiety in his heart. Now that Yan Yue knows Mr. Min, Zheng Xinhe secretly vows to seize this opportunity to promote Zhu Gang.
Not to mention Zheng Xinhe's eagerness, Yan Yue also attached great importance to this meeting. He and Zheng Xinhe had the same idea. As a new thing to replace steel, bamboo steel must first be recognized by the official authority in order to be recognized by the public. This kind of recognition is not just about winning a few medals at a science and technology exhibition, but getting official orders, which means that the other party truly recognizes the existence of the product.
Yan Yue checked the files on his computer one last time, and when he closed it, he realized it was almost ten o'clock. He pushed the door open and saw Lu Lingxi sitting on the carpet holding Dahei, watching the video they shot in Kunnan. Xiaohei excitedly swung his tail and hissed, twisting his upper body back and forth.
In the video, the little monkey held two red fruits and handed them to Lu Lingxi's mouth. Lu Lingxi smiled at the camera with curved eyebrows, took the fruits from the little monkey's hand, took a bite, then frowned, and was so sour that he couldn't even speak.
Squeak.
The little monkey hurriedly knocked the fruit out of Lu Lingxi's hand, climbed up the tree and rushed towards another monkey. The fruit it gave to Lu Lingxi was picked by this monkey.
Yan Yue heard Fang Lei's laughter in the video, and Lu Lingxi's voice calling "little monkey". He walked over and sat behind Lu Lingxi, hugged Lu Lingxi from behind, "Do you miss little monkey?"
Lu Lingxi leaned in Yan Yue's arms and hummed softly.
When they left, the little monkey made a fuss for a long time. Perhaps it felt that Lu Lingxi would not return for a short time after leaving this time, so the little monkey hugged Lu Lingxi's neck and refused to let go. It was only after the leading big monkey jumped down the tree and touched the little monkey's head and coaxed it for a long time that the little monkey let go of its claws with grievance. Lu Lingxi promised the little monkey that he would return to Kunnan Rainforest to see it when he had time. The little monkey seemed to understand what he said and squeaked several times.
Yan Yue thought of the scene at that time and raised the corners of his lips slightly, "We can go again next year."
"Woof woof." Dahei started barking.
Lu Lingxi touched Dahei with amusement and assured: "Don't worry, I will definitely bring Dahei with me next time."
Big Black leaned against Lu Lingxi contentedly, and Little Black also came over, dragging the biscuit box with him. The family of four sat on the ground, and the squeaking sound of the little monkey came out of the video again. The time slowly pointed to eleven o'clock, and Yan Yue carried Lu Lingxi back to the room. This time when she came back from Kunnan, Wang Shuxiu tacitly agreed that Lu Lingxi would move in next door and live with Yan Yue. Lu Lingxi's bedroom was vacated and prepared to be decorated as a baby room.
"Brother Yan, I will have a younger brother in three months." Lu Lingxi couldn't sleep for a moment, and said excitedly while hugging Yan Yue.
Yan Yue lowered her head and kissed him, "I know, go to sleep."
"I can't sleep." Lu Lingxi said softly.
Yan Yue's eyes dimmed, and he leaned over and kissed Lu Lingxi. "Then don't sleep yet."
Lu Lingxi: “…”
Early the next morning, Yan Yue first sent Lu Lingxi to Weiyuan Garden, and then drove to meet Zheng Xinhe to meet Mr. Min's friends.
"Come on, Brother Yan." Lu Lingxi brought Dahei to cheer Yan Yue up. Dahei waved his paw in support.
Yan Yue smiled and waved to Lu Lingxi, then drove away from Micro Gardening. When he was about to turn out of the street of Micro Gardening, Yan Yue seemed to see a familiar figure in his peripheral vision. He slowed down and looked over. Several passers-by hurried by. Yan Yue looked around but didn't see anything, and frowned slightly.
“Huff, huff, huff.”
In the alley beside the street, Lu Yishui felt his heart that was about to jump out of his throat for a long time before he calmed down. "Bah, bad luck, I saw Yan Yue as soon as I arrived." He spat on the ground and cursed fiercely.
Lu Yishui couldn't explain why he ran away when he saw Yan Yue. It was simply a subconscious action. In fact, Yan Yue had never done anything to him. On the contrary, he had lent him 400,000 yuan. But Lu Yishui was subconsciously afraid of Yan Yue. Compared with Xiao Feng and his brothers beating him up, Yan Yue's silent and unprovoked trick made him shudder when he thought about it. Of course, now he found a reason. Yan Yue, the bastard, actually had his eyes on Lu Lingxi.
Lu Yishui spat on the ground again with hatred, "Why should I be afraid of him? I am rich now. I am not the Lu Yishui of the past. I am from the Lu family. When old man Lu dies, I can at least inherit a few hundred million." He repeated this sentence several times in his mind, shook his newly bought T-shirt, and walked towards Micro Gardening with his head held high. He did not forget what old man Lu said to him, that the premise for him to be recognized as a member of the Lu family was that Lu Lingxi agreed to recognize his ancestors. Lu Yishui felt that this was not a problem at all. Lu Lingxi was not stupid. Only a fool would push away such a rich relative of the Lu family.
"Welcome light..."
In the micro gardening, Lu Lingxi put down the kettle and hadn't finished saying a word when Dahei, who had been lying quietly on the ground, suddenly jumped up, rushed straight to the door, bared his teeth and whispered a warning.
"Don't come over here, you dead dog." Lu Yishui screamed, and couldn't help but think of the last time he was bitten by Dahei.
Lu Lingxi suddenly opened his eyes wide, realizing that the person in front of him was Lu Yishui. He had only met Lu Yishui a few times, and that was a year ago. At that time, Lu Yishui was down and out, with messy hair covering half of his face, and he didn't have a deep impression of Lu Yishui. Now Lu Yishui has obviously taken good care of himself and is well dressed. Lu Lingxi vaguely found the shadow of his father in his previous life on his face.
"You little bastard, I'm your dad." Lu Yishui jumped at the door and shouted at Lu Lingxi.
Lu Lingxi frowned. He didn't have any feelings for Lu Yishui, unlike Wang Shuxiu. In addition, he had already accepted Xiao Feng as his father, so he couldn't even call Lu Yishui "Dad".
Lu Lingxi didn't say anything, and Lu Yishui got anxious. "Come here, you little bastard. Come here and get rid of the dog first. I have something to talk to you about."
As soon as he said something was wrong, Lu Lingxi immediately responded, "Did the Zhongjing Lu family find you?"
"What Zhongjing Lu family? That's your grandfather's family. Bah, you're wrong, that's our family, we are members of the Lu family, and from now on, father and son will be rich. Rich, do you understand what it means to be rich, little bastard? You can open as many shabby flower shops like this as you want." Lu Yishui described the bright prospects to Lu Lingxi with saliva flying, while trying to take a few steps into the store.
Dahei immediately growled.
Lu Yishui shrank back, pointed at Lu Lingxi and shouted: "You little bastard, you are an unfilial son, you..."
Lu Lingxi interrupted him, "I won't recognize the Lu family."
"What? Are you stupid, you little bastard? Do you know how much money the Lu family has? If we recognize her, we'll be rich men, no better than you guarding this shabby flower shop. Tell me, is it Wang Xiaohua who won't let you recognize her? Wait, I'll go find her."
"You are not allowed to look for my mother." Lu Lingxi shouted immediately. Wang Shuxiu is now almost 7 months pregnant. What if Lu Yishui makes her angry and upset?
"You little bastard..." Lu Yishui shouted fiercely.
Lu Lingxi bit her lip and said to Dahei, "Dahei, go ahead."
Hearing this command, Dahei immediately pounced towards Lu Yishui. Lu Yishui found that Lu Lingxi was serious, so he turned around and ran away. Unfortunately, he was not as fast as Dahei, and was easily knocked to the ground by Dahei, pressed under him, and pressed one claw on the back of Lu Yishui's head.
"Little...little...little..." Lu Yishui was so scared that he couldn't speak clearly.
Lu Lingxi hadn't thought about how to deal with Lu Yishui. After all, he was the father of this body. He knew that Dahei would not hurt Lu Yishui, and at most would scare him. "Dahei, come back." Lu Lingxi looked at Lu Yishui coldly and said seriously, "I will say it again that I will not recognize the Lu family, and you don't have to go look for your mother."
"Little rabbit..." Lu Yishui turned over and started to curse. Dahei immediately arched his back and made a gesture to pounce on him. Lu Yishui swallowed the word "bastard" stiffly, shrank his head and dared not speak again.
Lu Lingxi turned around and went back to Micro Gardening without looking at him. He thought about it and found Xiao Feng's phone number. He must tell Xiao Feng about this first. After the call was connected, there was a little noise on the other end, "Dad?"
"Is it Xiaoxi?" Xiao Feng's voice on the phone sounded very happy, "Xiaoxi, you are going to have another brother or sister."
Lu Lingxi was stunned for a moment, and heard Xiao Hong's loud laughter on the other end of the phone, "Aunt is pregnant?"
"Yes." Xiao Feng smiled and said, "Your uncle is very happy."
Lu Lingxi was also very happy. Xiao Feng remembered that Lu Lingxi had come to him, "What's the matter, Xiaoxi?"
Lu Lingxi felt that it was a bit disappointing to say that Lu Yishui was back at this time, but he was worried that Lu Yishui would really go to find Wang Shuxiu, so he said it anyway. "Dad... is back."
Xiao Feng reacted very quickly and immediately realized who Lu Lingxi was referring to as "father". "He went to see you?"
Lu Lingxi hummed, "He said he wanted to go find his mother, I was worried..."
"It's okay. I'm with your mother."
Lu Lingxi was relieved. After hanging up the phone, Lu Lingxi couldn't understand why the Lu family had to take him back. In the past, the Lu family didn't care about this body, so why did they have to take him back now? Was it because his brother... Lu Weian's health was in trouble again, so he was needed?
The more Lu Lingxi thought about it, the more he felt that this was possible. He squatted in front of Dahei, touched Dahei and whispered, "I want to be selfish this time."
Without any preface or postscript, Dahei couldn't understand what Lu Lingxi meant. He called softly and licked Lu Lingxi's finger gently with his tongue. Lu Lingxi smiled with his eyes curved.
"I know. I will always be with Dahei and Brother Yan."
