As a heavy industrial city, Fengcheng has many polluted rivers, but Lingshui River is not one of them. However, the poisoning incident in Songjiazhuang was too serious, so the higher authorities had to make Lingshui River the first priority for governance. Yan Yue received news that the funds for the governance of Lingshui River had been approved, and now it depends on when the Environmental Protection Bureau will start the external bidding.
"It should be at the beginning of the year." Yan Yue analyzed to Lu Lingxi, "Now the river is still frozen and it is impossible to control it. When we wait until the bidding is completed at the beginning of the year, the ice will melt in spring and the timing will be right. What do you think? Are you sure?" He asked with a smile.
Lu Lingxi motioned Yan Yue to look at the windowsill, where there was a pot of aquatic spider plant. The water in it was pumped back from the lower reaches of the Lingshui River, and the toxic cyanide had been purified. He raised his chin with a proud look on his face, and Yan Yue's smile deepened. He continued, "The scale of this treatment is not large, and many companies may not be interested. When the time comes, let Third Brother Ye say hello, and it will not be a problem to get the project. As long as the effect of the bitter grass is outstanding, and we hire someone to promote it, our reputation will be spread."
Micro Gardening Technology Company is now well-known in the industry. The launch of the new spider plant has won a good reputation for micro gardening. If Vallisneria can also be a great success, the position of micro gardening will be further consolidated. In the future, if there are similar pollution control tenders, they can compete for it.
After listening to Yan Yue's plan, Lu Lingxi thought about it and decided that he would have to continue planting aquatic crops in the pond next year. The evolution of Vallisneria only targets cyanide. Other water source problems include excessive heavy metals, eutrophication of water bodies, and deposition of toxic organic matter. Vallisneria cannot solve all problems.
When he said this to Yan Yue, Yan Yue had an idea, "How about we contract a few more acres of land and dig a bigger pond?"
Lu Lingxi's eyes lit up, and he thought this was a good idea. "We can dig beside the Lingshui River, so it will be easier to divert water when the time comes."
The two of them planned excitedly for a long time, and Lu Lingxi became more and more excited as he talked. He simply suggested: "How about we find a time to call Uncle Xiao and the others to go to the flower garden together? We can also catch fish in the pond to eat."
Lu Lingxi raised a lot of fish in the small pond in the flower garden, some big and some small. At first, Lu Lingxi was worried that the Victoria amazonica could not survive the winter outdoors, so he thought of moving it into the greenhouse. Who would have thought that the Victoria amazonica, which had evolved to level 2, was not afraid of the cold winter at all and had been growing well in the pond. And because of its existence, the pond was basically not frozen, with only a thin layer of ice near the edge. This did not affect their fishing.
After he finished speaking, he looked at Yan Yue eagerly, and Yan Yue nodded with a smile. In the past, every time Lu Lingxi went out with Xiao Hong and the others, Yan Yue was alone at home. If they went to the flower garden this time, Yan Yue, as half the owner, could barely be counted as a member of the family.
"Then let's go on Monday. There won't be many people in the store."
"good."
Lu Lingxi's proposal to go to the flower garden was quickly approved by everyone. Wang Shuxiu had never been to the flower garden before. She joked with Zhou Xiaoman that this time she was just taking advantage of Zhou Xiaoman and the others. Wang Shuxiu and Zhou Xiaoman had been getting along very well during this period of time. Zhou Xiaoman was gentle and Wang Shuxiu was aggressive. The two of them unexpectedly complemented each other.
As the two got to know each other, Zhou Xiaoman began to share some of her worries with Wang Shuxiu. She and Xiao Hong were good in every way except that they had no children.
"It would be great if I had a child as obedient as Xiaoxi." Zhou Xiaoman said enviously.
"Don't worry, there will definitely be one. I heard from the little bastard that there is a hundred-year-old willow tree in Lingshui Village. The locals call it a tree god and it is very powerful. Let's worship the tree god this time, maybe we can find it."
Zhou Xiaoman didn't believe in these things before, but because she hadn't had a child in recent years, she began to pray to the gods. After hearing about the tree god, she nodded immediately. "Okay, let's go and worship."
The two of them discussed it and Monday arrived quickly.
Early in the morning, Xiao Hong drove Zhou Xiaoman to Hongfu Community. As he parked the car, he said to Zhou Xiaoman, "Afeng said that the environment of this community is very good. Although the houses are shabby, they are full of flowers and plants in summer, making it like a park. If you like it, we can buy a house here, live here in the summer, and go back to the northwest in the winter."
Zhou Xiaoman was moved. Although the northwest is her hometown, the mining and gold panning in recent years have caused serious environmental damage. In addition, it was dry in summer, and the dust was everywhere when she went out. A doctor had said before that her inability to conceive was probably related to the surrounding environment. The doctor also gave an example that there are many infertile people now, and they just can't conceive even though there is nothing wrong with their bodies. Why is this? First, the environment is not good, and the haze and dust have an impact. Another reason is that the food is not good, such as gutter oil, vegetables ripened by chemical fertilizers, etc. These may not seem like a big deal at the moment, but they will become a big problem over the years.
Thinking of this, Zhou Xiaoman nodded. "Let's ask around first to see if anyone has a house for sale."
The two got out of the car and went into the house. Lu Lingxi and the others had also packed up. Wang Shuxiu invited Xiao Hong and Zhou Xiaoman to sit down and have some breakfast. She had specially baked pancakes and cooked a pot of porridge in the morning. This was the first time Xiao Hong met Yan Yue. He heard that Yan Yue was the neighbor next door and also a partner of Lu Lingxi's gardening shop. Xiao Hong smiled very heartily at Yan Yue, and said that he was a big nephew who depended on Yan Yue to take care of him.
Yan Yue smiled politely. Xiao Hong's figure was really as tall and strong as Lu Lingxi said. Thinking of the 10,000 yuan red envelope, he felt that it was something that someone with Xiao Hong's personality could do.
In front of everyone, Xiao Hong was very enthusiastic towards Yan Yue. Behind everyone's back, Xiao Hong calmly pulled Xiao Feng to ask what was going on with Yan Yue? This young man looked not simple, and he did not look like someone who needed to open a gardening store with Lu Lingxi. Even if Wang Shuxiu did not see anything, he did not believe that Xiao Feng would be wrong. Why did he not remind Wang Shuxiu to let Xiaoxi stay away from this person?
Xiao Feng smiled bitterly and roughly explained the whole story. Because these things involved Lu Yishui, Xiao Feng was afraid that Xiao Hong would misunderstand, so he had never mentioned it before. Now that Xiao Hong asked, he did not hide it anymore. When he finished, Xiao Hong reacted. It turned out that Lu Yishui in the mine was Wang Shuxiu's ex-husband and Lu Lingxi's father. He stared at Xiao Feng with a strange expression, turned around and laughed heartily again.
Since Xiao Feng said that Yan Yue and Lu Lingxi had an unusual relationship, he would not get involved. But Yan Yue was quite evil, just like when he was young.
After they finished breakfast and went out, they saw Xiao Baiwan sticking his head out of the car window waiting for them. Xiao Hong was proud, "With our Baiwan here, there is no need to lock the car wherever we go." As soon as he opened the door, Xiao Baiwan rushed out and shouted to Dahei.
Dahei followed Lu Lingxi and completely ignored Xiao Baiwan's provocation. Instead, Xiaohei, who was hanging on Dahei's head, stretched his body hard and spit at Xiao Baiwan.
“Sizzle.”
Xiao Baiwan growled in dissatisfaction.
"Meow."
A white kitten fell from the sky and stepped on Xiao Baiwan's head without any hesitation. Then it waved its two paws and jumped in front of Dahei.
Everyone: "..."
Xiao Baiwan was furious, baring his teeth and ready to pounce on the kitten. Dahei reacted quickly and stood in front of the kitten. The two dogs faced each other again.
"Xiao Baiwan, come back." Xiao Hong shouted.
Xiao Baiwan felt a little aggrieved, but he still obediently retreated slowly.
Lu Lingxi breathed a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that the two dogs would fight. Although he didn't think Dahei would lose, he was also worried that Dahei would get hurt.
"Let's go, Dahei, get in the car."
Lu Lingxi waved to the kitten, and the kitten leaped into the air and slapped Xiao Hei to the ground with one paw. Then, it jumped to the first-floor window with satisfaction, looked down at Da Hei, and said triumphantly, "Meow."
Lu Lingxi: “…”
Until he got in the car, Lu Lingxi still found the situation funny when he thought about it. The kitten upstairs had an inexplicable possessiveness towards Dahei. He felt that if it were a human, he would think that only it could bully Dahei, and only it could step on him whenever it wanted, and no one else could bully Dahei.
Lu Lingxi touched Dahei's head, and Xiaohei slowly wrapped around his hand. He gently poked Xiaohei with a finger, and couldn't help laughing as he watched Xiaohei fall all over the place. Although Xiaohei seemed to be useless, even the kitten upstairs could slap it away with one paw, Lu Lingxi felt that Xiaohei would not be useless if he could make Dahei so afraid of him before. However... I have to feed Xiaohei less in the future, as he has gained weight in just a few days.
Yan Yue and he were in sync, "We need to give Xiao Hei less food in the future. Look at his teeth, they are almost falling out from all the candy he's been eating these past few days."
As a snake with a sweet tooth, Xiao Hei immediately hissed in protest towards Yan Yue after hearing what Yan Yue said.
Lu Lingxi held back his laughter, picked up Xiao Hei and skillfully tied a knot around it, thus diverting Xiao Hei's attention from the sweets.
It was still early when they arrived at the flower garden. Uncle Li was very happy to see so many people coming, and tried his best to invite them to his house for lunch, but Lu Lingxi declined. He usually troubled Uncle Li enough, and it would be too embarrassing to bring people to trouble Uncle Li again this time.
"Xiaoxi, you are just being polite to me." Uncle Li complained.
Lu Lingxi curled his eyes and said nothing.
"Oh, right." Uncle Li thought of something and pulled Lu Lingxi to whisper about Fang Lei. He didn't know who Fang Lei was, but he knew that someone had been appearing suspiciously near the flower garden recently and often talked to Xiao Shitou. Uncle Li suspected that someone was plotting against the flower garden again, and was also targeting Xiao Shitou.
In addition, Uncle Li also suspected Xu San. This person's behavior was very obvious, but Xu San didn't tell him anything. It was only when Lao Gou noticed something was wrong that he reminded him.
"Hmph! If Xu San dares to do his old bad habits again, I'll let Old Xu break his legs." Uncle Li said angrily.
The old man had a bad temper, so Lu Lingxi tried to calm him down. He wasn't actually worried about someone trying to get the flower garden. Little Shitou was under strict control by Yu Xiaojuan and never went into the flower garden. Even if the other party wanted to ask him, they wouldn't be able to get anything out of him. Besides, Little Shitou was very clever, so it was hard to tell who would be the one to coax.
But according to the old man, the other party came to Xiao Shitou several times, which was a bit strange. Lu Lingxi was worried that Xiao Shitou might have let it slip and the other party might have been thinking about Ah Huang? But it might also be that he was overthinking. Who would believe what Xiao Shitou said?
