Pastoral Daily Life

Lu Lingxi and Yan Yue went to the flower garden again at night, and signed a land lease contract with Yu Xiaojuan.According to the law, the cultivated land in the rural areas of Huaguo has a 30-year contract period. During the contract period, the contractor has the right to transfer the land management contract right.Yu Xiaojuan's family's land was allocated just the year before last, and it will expire in 28 years.Lu Lingxi discussed with Yan Yue and signed a five-year contract.

Because farming does not make money now, most of these lands are usually abandoned, and it would be nice if someone can rent them out. The rent is not very expensive.Calculated on the basis of 1000 yuan per mu of land a year, the cost of all the miscellaneous things is less than 4 yuan.To Yan Yue, the money was nothing at all, but to Lu Lingxi, 4 yuan was equivalent to his three-month profit.This is only the premise investment. In the later stage, we need to buy seeds and plan flower gardens. Winter is coming, and we have to build a greenhouse.Lu Lingxi calculated the money on the card, and once again deeply realized a problem, spending money is much faster than making money.

After finishing the land lease contract, Lu Lingxi thought about asking Mr. Li to find another person.The size of the flower garden has doubled, and Uncle Li alone will definitely not be able to do it.Moreover, Uncle Li is also getting old, even if he said that there is no problem, Lu Lingxi is not at ease.

After hearing Lu Lingxi's words, Uncle Li hesitated for a few seconds, and asked tentatively, "What do you think of Yu Xiaojuan?"

Lu Lingxi froze for a moment, then subconsciously looked at Yan Yue.It's his own business to feel soft and sympathetic to Xiaojuan, but micro gardening is a joint business between him and Yan Yue, whether it's suitable for him to hire depends on what Yan Yue wants.

Received Lu Lingxi's gaze, Yan Yue nodded slightly.He had met Yu Xiaojuan before, and he had a good impression of Xiaojuan.The work of a flower garden is not heavy, on the contrary, it requires patience and meticulousness.Compared with finding someone who doesn't know the background, Yu Xiaojuan has Uncle Li as a guarantee, which makes them feel more at ease.And compared to the simple kindness of the young man, Yan Yue looked more practical.

Different from Wang Shuxiu's pungentness, Yu Xiaojuan has a submissive forbearance in her body.She has no culture, and she is cautious and at a loss when facing them, but from her attitude towards Uncle Li, it can be seen that she knows how to be grateful.Hiring her to work in the flower garden at this time is not only a help to her situation, but also a kind of identity recognition.Compared with those who only come to work in the flower garden for money, Yu Xiaojuan will be more concerned about the flower garden with gratitude, or more dedicated to her work.Things are going well in the flower garden, and Lu Lingxi will be able to worry less in the future.

Yan Yue nodded, and Lu Lingxi immediately nodded to Uncle Li.Uncle Li looked at Lu Lingxi with a smile, "Little baby has a kind heart, and good people must be rewarded with good rewards."

Yu Xiaojuan didn't leave after signing the land lease contract, and kept helping Grandma Li cook next door.In fact, she is not yet thirty this year, and she has beautiful features, but the hardships of life make her look older than Wang Shuxiu.Hearing that Uncle Li said that Lu Lingxi's flower garden wanted to hire someone, and called her to sign the contract, Yu Xiaojuan was stunned for a moment, and then her eyes turned slightly red.

She is stupid and can't say anything good, so she held back for a long time and said, "Master, I really didn't take the mobile phones of the hotel guests, I must work hard in the flower garden."

Uncle Li nodded with a smile.

That night, Lu Lingxi didn't stay at the flower garden, but rushed back to Fengcheng overnight.Yan Yue drove him all the way back to the community.The more we walked into the community, the more lush the weeds on the ground, and even the flower beds in the community where no one took care of them usually bloomed exceptionally well.

Yan Yue glanced out the window, not only the weeds on the ground, but also many vegetables and fruits grown in the courtyard on the first floor looked good.Under the dim streetlights, the dilapidated neighborhood looks like an ecological garden during the day.

This feeling becomes more obvious as you go to the third building.The community where Lu Lingxi lives is nearly 30 years old. After decades of wind and rain, most of the walls of the residential buildings have peeled off, with black spots and mottled spots, and occasionally covered with moss. ugly.However, for some unknown reason, creepers began to grow on the walls of Building No. [-] and the two adjacent buildings, and within a few days, they climbed to the height of the third floor, just covering the peeling walls outside. It looks a lot cleaner.

Standing downstairs in the community on a summer night, the cool breeze blows, the shade is everywhere, and the sweltering heat of the hot summer is almost swept away.

"Here we are." Yan Yue withdrew his gaze, parked the car in front of the building steadily, and said to Lu Lingxi who was on the co-pilot.

Lu Lingxi rolled her eyes, and while unfastening her seat belt, she urged: "Brother Yan, don't go, I'll pick some tomatoes for you to eat."

Lu Lingxi's tomatoes are already well-known in the community, and from time to time, neighbors who have a good relationship with Wang Shuxiu will come to the door and want to buy some to eat back.During this period of time, Wang Shuxiu was looking for a house, and at the same time, she boiled tomato sauce and sold it in the bun shop. The income was not bad, which strengthened her determination to open a small restaurant.

After hearing Lu Lingxi's words, Yan Yue smiled and said indulgently, "Okay."

The boy's heart is clean and beautiful, he doesn't seem to know much about the world, and getting along with people is completely out of his heart.If you treat him well, he will be a little overwhelmed, and then give back vigorously.For example, tomatoes may not be worth much in the eyes of others, but these tomatoes are grown by teenagers themselves.In his eyes, these tomatoes are very good. He has no other complicated ideas, but simply shares what he thinks is good, and repays the kindness of others.Dong Qi, Ye Kang, Uncle Li and even a few regular customers of Wei Gardening have eaten the tomatoes brought by Lu Lingxi.Of course, Yan Yue eats the most among them.

Lu Lingxi's figure quickly disappeared in the corridor, and Dahei calmly followed behind him.Yan Yue looked at his back almost greedily, feeling that he could no longer satisfy this short time together.He wanted to spend more time with the young man, Yan Yue glanced across the wall to Lu Lingxi's next door, tapped the steering wheel with his fingers and came up with an idea.

After seeing off Yan Yue, Lu Lingxi took Dahei back to the house.Wang Shuxiu is cleaning canning jars in the kitchen, which are used to hold tomato sauce.

Lu Lingxi finished wiping Dahei's paws, washed her hands, and went to help in the kitchen.Wang Shuxiu asked a few questions about the flower garden, and when Lu Lingxi mentioned Yu Xiaojuan, she sighed.It is much more difficult for women to live in the world than men.I heard a lot of news about men leaving and women working hard to support their mother-in-law and children, and few women leaving and men working hard to take care of their mother-in-law.Most of them find another woman not long after, and simply leave the child to the stepmother to raise. As for the ex-wife's mother-in-law, it is considered conscientious to visit her on New Year's Day.

"It's not easy for everyone, and it's great if you can help." Wang Shuxiu said.

Lu Lingxi nodded obediently.

Wang Shuxiu hesitated for a moment and mentioned one thing.Brother Feng heard that she was looking for a house and contacted her specifically.Speaking of the house next door to the chess and card room he opened, it happened to be rented out, the size of the front door was suitable, and the price was not expensive, so she could take a look at it when she had time.

Wang Shuxiu had no problem with the house, but when she heard that it was next door to the chess and card room, she was a little unhappy.Brother Feng said it with good intentions, and according to Brother Feng's meaning, the small restaurant has a fixed customer group, and the people in the chess and card room happen to eat in her small restaurant.Wang Shuxiu felt a little nervous. Back then, Lu Yishui stayed in the chess and card room day and night and didn't go home. She was so angry that she thought that one day Lu Yishui would starve to death outside.The family members of those people who came to the chess and card room might have the same thoughts as her.Now that she opened the restaurant next to the chess and card room, it is even more convenient for them not to go home, isn't it waiting to be stabbed in the back?

But Wang Shuxiu asked someone to inquire, and the house that Brother Feng mentioned is really suitable.The price is also very reasonable, and the location is good, not counting the chess and card room, and there are many tourists around.She was a little worried that if she missed this house, she would not be able to meet other suitable houses for a while, what should she do?You can't just sit and eat.Besides, seeing the hard work of the little bastard going out early and returning late every day, although she didn't say anything, she knew that it was not easy to make money outside.The little bastard wants to expand the size of the flower garden recently, doesn't it all need money?You can't always owe Yan Yue's favor, that's outrageous.She just wanted to make some money earlier and help the little bastard.

Wang Shuxiu and Lu Lingxi said they also wanted to hear what Lu Lingxi meant, but Lu Lingxi was not as complicated as Wang Shuxiu thought, so she simply said: "It's fine if Mom doesn't like it.

Lu Lingxi only met Brother Feng twice, but because of Lu Yishui's gambling, he actually had a bad impression of Brother Feng.Although Lu Yishui's gambling is his own business, and Wang Shuxiu is also grateful that Brother Feng did not implicate his family when collecting gambling debts, but Lu Lingxi still thinks it would be good if Brother Feng didn't open a chess and card room.

"What if there is no other suitable house in the future?" Wang Shuxiu was a little worried.

"I can support my mother, and we can always sell tomato sauce." Lu Lingxi was very optimistic.

"That's right." Wang Shuxiu waved her hands, not wanting to owe Brother Feng any favors, so forget about the house.

After the two washed the canning jars, they turned them upside down on the cutting board one by one, waiting for the water inside to dry up.Wang Shuxiu rushed Lu Lingxi to rest, "Stop reading, go to bed early, it's not too late."

Lu Lingxi nodded, took a quick shower, and obediently lay down on the bed.After thinking about it, he sent Yan Yue a text message, "Brother Yan, are you home yet? I'm going to sleep, good night."

Yan Yue looked at the text message with soft eyes, "Good night."

The next morning, Lu Lingxi was woken up by the sound of birds chirping outside.During this period of time, as the weeds in the community grew wildly, more and more birds gathered nearby.Grass means bugs, and bugs means food.At first Lu Lingxi only saw sparrows, but gradually there were more and more bird species outside, including magpies and swallows.

Lu Lingxi stretched and got up from the bed, Dahei woke up early, squatting beside the bed to guard Lu Lingxi.

Lu Lingxi bent her eyes, and every morning when she opened her eyes and saw Dahei, she would feel in a good mood.He smiled and scratched Dahei's chin, and heard Wang Shuxiu and his neighbors talking outside.

"Xiaohua, this is a vegetable grown by our family. It has grown very well these days. Let me exchange some tomatoes from your family."

"This vegetable grows a bit big, your family didn't spray medicine?"

"Wang Xiaohua, don't look down on people. Our food is all for ourselves. I look good because I take care of it. Whoever is crazy can spray medicine."

"That's fine, wait for me to pick some tomatoes."

Lu Lingxi frowned uncomfortably, shook Dahei's paw, and whispered, "Dahei, do you think the changes in the community are related to the white panel?"

Dahei looked at him quietly and let out a low cry.

Lu Lingxi became anxious, "You think so too? But..." He hesitated, "This is actually a good change, right?"

Dahei came over, stuck out his tongue and licked Lu Lingxi's chin, and let out a low cry.

Lu Lingxi felt relieved, "That's good, so I can feel relieved."

Dahei yelled again, as if to echo Lu Lingxi's words.
