Pastoral Daily Life

Chapter 11 Insomnia

The person who came was a middle-aged man, with a slightly fat body and a little bald hair. Maybe he ran in a hurry, and his bare forehead was covered with sweat.

Du Lin obviously knew each other, and quickly greeted her, "Brother Cheng, what's the matter?"

The chubby man called Brother Cheng didn't care to wipe the sweat off his head, and hurriedly pulled Du Lin to look at the cuckoo in his arms, "Do you still remember the cuckoo I bought last time?"

Du Lin nodded. The full name of the Rhododendron in Brother Cheng's arms is Belgian Rhododendron. It is a hybrid cultivar. It is very popular in the flower market because of its large and showy flowers, beautiful shape, and can bloom all year round.Belgian Rhododendrons are divided into different varieties according to different flower colors. The pot Cheng Ge bought is a racehorse.The flowers of racehorse are generally white, and the edges of the flowers are bright pink, with occasional red spots smudged inward from the edges, which looks very beautiful.

"What's wrong with this racehorse?" Du Lin asked.

Brother Cheng carefully placed the flowers on the table, and said eagerly, "I don't know what's going on, but the leaves and flowers are falling off badly. Look, it's only bloomed for a few days, and it's about to fall off." Brother Cheng I've been on a business trip this week, and I was fine before the trip, but I came back today, no, where did Huadu go?The family couldn't tell why, so Brother Cheng came to Du Lin with flowers in his arms as soon as he was anxious.

After listening to Brother Cheng's words, Du Lin twirled the soil again, and she probably had a score in her heart.There are several reasons why the Belgian rhododendrons fell. She turned her head and waved to Lu Lingxi, "Xiaoxi, come and have a look and tell me the reason."

As early as when Brother Cheng came in, Lu Lingxi had already looked at the flowers in his arms.After hearing Du Lin's words, Lu Lingxi walked over quickly, and Yi Hang followed.The rhododendrons in front of me are actually blooming quite well, but the flowers are a bit sparse, and there is a feeling that the flowering period is about to pass.On the white panel, the three-dimensional rhododendrons rotate in a circle, and there is no problem from the root system to the flower plant.Lu Lingxi glanced at the needs of the plants, looked at Brother Cheng and asked carefully: "Did your family put this potted flower and fruit plate together?"

Brother Cheng looked at Lu Lingxi in surprise, "Little brother, how do you know? This potted flower blooms so well that the old lady put it on the tea table, and there are several fruit plates piled up next to it, saying that it looks nice."

As soon as Brother Cheng finished speaking, Du Lin laughed helplessly. "Didn't I tell you that the rhododendrons should not be placed in fruit bowls when they are in bloom? Ripe fruits emit ethylene, which stimulates the azaleas to drop leaves and end flowering early."

"Oh, I forgot." Brother Cheng slapped his head and exclaimed.

"So there's nothing else to say?" Brother Cheng looked at Lu Lingxi carefully.

Lu Lingxi shook her head, the panel showed that there was no other problem with this pot of Rhododendron.

Brother Cheng was relieved, he patted Lu Lingxi on the shoulder vigorously, and praised: "The young man is not bad."

Lu Lingxi smiled shyly, and Du Lin became more satisfied when she saw Lu Lingxi. She didn't expect Lu Lingxi to be so knowledgeable.When signing the contract, Du Lin voluntarily skipped the probationary period, and the salary was generous.

"Xiaoxi, is it okay to go to work tomorrow?"

Lu Lingxi hesitated for a few seconds, then nodded affirmatively.

"That's good. You come to us tomorrow to take over. I'm afraid I won't be able to come here often during this time. I'll leave the store to you. If you don't understand anything, call me."

"okay."

After setting the handover time for the next day, Lu Lingxi thought about going to the bookstore to buy books, so she didn't stay longer in the store.Yi Hang was amazed at Lu Lingxi's performance along the way, poking Lu Lingxi from time to time, "Hey, third child, when did you do this? Why didn't I know that you also know flowers and plants?"

Lu Lingxi felt a little guilty about this question, but just smiled and said nothing.

Yi Hang poked a few times but couldn't get an answer, so he quickly shifted his attention. "Hey, have you ever thought about it, what do you want to do after you get paid?"

Lu Lingxi froze for a moment, and the figure of Wang Shuxiu flashed in his mind, wondering what Wang Shuxiu likes?Jewelry, jewelry, or clothing?

"What do you think?"

"I want to buy a gift for my mother after paying my salary."

Yi Hang scratched his hair, and hugged Lu Lingxi, "Okay, the third child is sensible, brother, I am finally at ease."

Lu Lingxi: "..."

The distance from Micro Gardening to the bookstore is not far, and the two of them walked there without taking a bus.Yi Hang remembered Lu Lingxi's amnesia, and he would point it out to Lu Lingxi several times at every intersection. In his words, this is called strengthening memory.The area where they were active belonged to the center of Fengcheng, and the location was very prosperous.It was the off-duty time, and the crowd was very lively.

Yi Hang pulled Lu Lingxi to stand on the side of the road waiting for a red light, and suddenly pointed at a car in front of him and exclaimed.

"Holy shit, look at that car, the latest Jaguar."

Lu Lingxi was taken aback by Yi Hang's reaction, and followed his fingers to see a small black car parked on the side of the road, waiting for the red light with them.

Yi Hang drooled enviously at the car, and Lu Lingxi saw the license plate number at a glance, and the car came from Zhongjing.

Inside the Jaguar, Yan Yue held the steering wheel expressionlessly, and tapped rhythmically with his slender index finger, revealing a hint of patience.On the co-pilot next to him, a silver-white mobile phone was lying there, and the screen showed that it was in a call.

"Ayue, are you listening to me?"

"Why is Xiaoya your sister? How can you be so indifferent to her? I heard from the steward that you wouldn't even see her. Do you know how sad Xiaoya is?"

"This time when you return to China, Xiao Ya happily went to see you, what happened?"

"A Yue, are you still angry with your mother? Are you still unwilling to forgive your mother?"

"Back then, your father was the one who sorry for me first. Could it be that I can't pursue my own happiness?"

The female voice on the phone repeated itself, and a few words kept going around.Yan Yue resisted the urge to throw the phone out of the window, waiting for the mother on the other side to hang up.As the red light turned to green and the traffic surged, the impatience in Yan Yue's eyes slightly dissipated.He glanced out the window casually, and drove away from the intersection.

Lu Lingxi's attention did not stay on Jaguar, his mind was on how to get to work with Wang Shuxiu tomorrow.

"Come on, the green light is on."

I don't know who yelled, Lu Lingxi came back to his senses, glanced at the large signboard of the bookstore across the road from a distance, and put his mind down for the time being.

Lu Lingxi bought a lot of books in the bookstore, most of them were about flower planting and agricultural planting.Yi Hang followed Lu Lingxi boredly, not knowing what these books were good for.

That night, Lu Lingxi read with gusto a book about common crop planting management methods, and there was a chapter dedicated to tomato planting and management.According to the book, the normal sowing of tomatoes is divided into spring sowing and summer sowing. Spring sowing will have to wait until next year. Lu Lingxi can't wait any longer, but summer sowing is just right.In addition to the time of sowing, the book also focuses on 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 whether the seeds were good or bad, but these seeds were rewarded from the upgrade panel last time, so they shouldn't be bad.He decided to skip the sterilization process.

After carefully studying how to sow seeds for a long time, Lu Lingxi took a water pipe from the kitchen and carefully watered the ground in the backyard until it was soaked.When he and Yi Hang pulled weeds in the afternoon, they had already turned over the ground.According to the book, Lu Lingxi spread the seeds evenly, and then carefully covered them with a layer of nutritious soil.

After finishing everything, Lu Lingxi quickly took a shower, dangling his long legs and sitting on the balcony, looking at the fruits of his labor with satisfaction.Any idea when these seeds germinate?When is the result?Will the tomatoes come out tasty?He imagined that the small buds would grow up day by day, and the green fruits would bear fruit, and then they would become bigger and redder every day, and would be heavily attached to the plants, so he couldn't help but smile slightly.

On the first night after leaving the hospital, Lu Lingxi suffered from insomnia.He was so excited that he tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep. All he could think about were big, red tomatoes. He couldn't wait for the tomatoes in the backyard to grow when he opened his eyes the next day.

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 pushed open 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 was a kind of mental illness, and he had to adjust it by himself.On the surface, Yan Yue was noncommittal to Ye Kang's conclusion, but subconsciously he agreed with Ye Kang's words, otherwise he wouldn't have let Ye Kang, a half-hearted psychiatrist, toss about for several years.

Yan Yue still remembers the first time he suffered from insomnia when he was six years old.That day, his parents moved away from Yan's house one after another, and only he, the housekeeper, and a few helpers were left in the huge family.Even though his parents had separated because of a bad relationship, and the so-called family living together was just a formality, but that night, facing the empty house, Yan Yue still had a feeling that he was completely abandoned by his parents.The whole night, Yan Yue didn't sleep, but sat in the living room with his pillow in his arms until dawn, which surprised the housekeeper who got up early.

From that day on, Yan Yue couldn't sleep more and more at night.He is used to wandering around Yan's mansion alone at night, when he is tired from wandering, and when he will go back to his room to sleep.This went on for several years until he got older and learned to control his behavior.

Only the housekeeper knew about his insomnia in the entire Yan family.At first, the housekeeper was worried that he was afraid of the dark, so he turned on all the lights in Yan's house that could be turned on at night. Later, when the housekeeper knew that he was insomnia, he wanted to turn off all the lights that could be turned off when it got dark.Over the past few years, the servants of the Yan family have gotten used to going to bed as soon as it gets dark.Even during the years he stayed abroad, this habit of the Yan family mansion has not changed.
