Pastoral Daily Life

Fang Lei was led by Xiao Hui to the big willow tree.

He was used to getting up early to exercise and was going to go out and run around the village. As a result, as soon as he went out, Xiao Hui, who had been following him last night, rushed in the direction of the big willow tree like an arrow. Fang Lei chased after him subconsciously, and immediately realized that something was wrong.

It didn't rain last night, but the land around the big willow tree was slightly smelly of mud. The wet ground was densely covered with tender green grass, and it was soft to step on. The closer you get to the big willow tree, the more refreshing you can smell. Fang Lei took a deep breath, only to feel comfortable and indescribably refreshed. He just raised his eyebrows slightly and thought of micro gardening. Fang Lei has been to Micro Gardening quite a few times, and every time he goes to Micro Gardening, he will have a similar feeling. As if there is something in the air that can cleanse the mind, the whole person exudes a sense of relaxation from the inside out.

At the moment when he was in a trance, Xiao Hui quickly climbed up the tree, squinting and lying on the branch with a look of enjoyment.

Fang Lei stared at Xiao Hui's performance thoughtfully, squatting on the ground and twisting the soil. The moist soil had a coolness, not like the water just poured in the morning. Lu Lingxi's name flashed in his mind, and the policeman's intuition told him that the strangeness around the big willow tree had nothing to do with Lu Lingxi.

"Big Brother Fang?" The footsteps from behind interrupted Fang Lei's thoughts. He turned around abruptly and saw Yan Yue and Lu Lingxi appearing behind him.

Inexplicably, Fang Lei's suspicions were confirmed, as if Lu Lingxi's appearance was the answer. He smiled slightly and asked nonchalantly, "Xiao Xi, why did you get up so early?"

"Can't sleep, go out for a walk." Yan Yue returned to this question for Lu Lingxi. He took a deep look at Fang Lei, stepped forward and said casually, "How about you? Why do you get up so early?"

Fang Lei shrugged and gestured to Xiao Hui on the tree, "Xiao Hui was so noisy that he didn't let him sleep, so he came out for a walk."

Just as he finished speaking, the little ash on the tree felt unhappy. Leaping gently towards Fang Lei was a claw, Fang Lei swiftly avoided Xiao Hui's attack, with a bitter smile on his face. Lu Lingxi burst into laughter, and the tense atmosphere surrounding the three of them suddenly disappeared.

Fang Lei stepped on the grass under his feet and sighed: "This spring is early enough, it seems that the weather is not bad."

He originally wanted to draw out the dampness on the ground, but Lu Lingxi shook his head and said seriously: "The weather may not be good, I'm afraid there will be a severe drought."

Fang Lei was taken aback, "How come?"

Lu Lingxi took out Uncle Li's rhetoric, there will be a severe drought after the warm winter. This is the experience of the old farmers in the field for many years. Although it is not necessarily accurate every time, most of them are similar. And what Lu Lingxi didn't say was that the evolution of the big willow tree was too sudden this time, and the evolved water storage function made him faintly aware of something. The evolution of plants is not without rules, but adapts to changes in the environment through natural selection. He always felt that the evolution of the willow tree was to prepare for drought, otherwise he couldn't think of any use for the water storage function.

Fang Lei laughed when he heard Lu Lingxi's remarks. Although he grew up in Fengcheng, he remembered that there was such a statement in nature textbooks before. But now it is different from before. There are reservoirs to regulate water use, so even if there is a severe drought, it should not be a big problem.

"Not necessarily." Yan Yue was not as optimistic as Fang Lei, and mentioned last year's severe drought in the southwest. The topic of the three quickly shifted to the drought. Lu Lingxi talked about wanting to drill a few wells in Lingshui Village. Fang Lei tried several times to turn the topic back to the strangeness of the soil, but every time Yan Yue kept calm. turned back. Fang Lei couldn't find a chance after holding it for a long time, so he had to hold it in his throat.

Lu Lingxi didn't feel Fang Lei's depression at all, and was still seriously discussing with Yan Yue where to dig a well in the village. Fang Lei smiled helplessly and forcibly suppressed the curiosity in his heart. No matter what happened last night, no matter what happened to the big willow tree, he believed that Lu Lingxi, who was preparing to dig a well ahead of time because he was worried that the severe drought would affect the villagers' draught, was always the Xiaoxi he knew. There is no need to get to the bottom of some questions, and the other party will naturally say if they want to.

The three looked around the big willow tree for a while, Fang Lei followed Yan Yue and Lu Lingxi back to the small courtyard. Xiao Hui squatted lazily on Fang Lei's shoulder, as if he had already identified this place. Uncle Li was waiting for the three of them in the flower garden early in the morning. When he saw them coming back together, he immediately greeted them to eat. Lu Lingxi plans to return to Fengcheng after dinner. There is nothing to do in Lingshui Village, and it is time to open the door for Micro Gardening after the new year.

Uncle Li was a little reluctant to Lu Lingxi, "Xiaoxi would be better if she stayed a few more days."

Lu Lingxi also wanted to stay in the garden for a few more days, but Wang Shuxiu was pregnant, and he was still thinking about his family.

During dinner, Mr. Li said that he met Mr. Xu who was walking birds by the river in the morning, and the other party found that the water level of Lingshui River seemed to be much lower. Lu Lingxi bowed his head in a guilty conscience. Uncle Li also enthusiastically discussed with them whether the upstream reservoir closed last night and restricted water.

However, Uncle Li mentioned another thing, the spring sowing is about to begin, and the upstream reservoir is expected to open the gate to release water. At this time of year, many fish flow through the gate into the Lingshui River. In the past, when the Lingshui River was not very polluted, many people in their village went to the river to fish. Since the plastic factory was built last year, no one has fished it, and they dare not eat it. Those fish floated on the river with their stomachs turned upside down as soon as they entered the river. This year, the pollution of Lingshui River has been controlled, and it must be lively when the water is released. Uncle Li wanted Lu Lingxi and the others to come together and play together.

This suggestion was immediately responded by Fang Lei, especially Xiao Hui, when she heard the fish's eyes light up, she meowed twice as she pulled Fang Lei's clothes. Although Fang Lei didn't understand it, he guessed what Xiaohui meant. He took the opportunity to touch Xiaohui's head, but it was rare that he didn't scratch his paw.

When returning home, Xiao Hui looked at Lu Lingxi and Fang Lei hesitantly. Although it has been following Fang Lei all day, Lu Lingxi is more attracted to it in terms of attraction. But just when Xiao Hui wanted to jump into Yan Yue's car, Da Hei suddenly rushed out and shouted at Xiao Hui in warning.

This is the first time that Da Hei has shown obvious rejection to the animals that appear around Lu Lingxi. Its meaning is obvious. If you want to play with Lu Lingxi for a few days, you can play with Lu Lingxi for a few days. There is absolutely no way for Lingxi to go home.

Fang Lei looked at this scene, and his heart sank, and he waved at Da Hei. The main purpose of his visit this time was to borrow Da Hei for a few days, and he happened to take Da Hei with him today. As for the grievances between Da Hei and Xiao Hui, Fang Lei didn't think it was anything.

He greeted him with enthusiasm, Da Hei squatted at Lu Lingxi's feet and was completely unmoved, just waiting for Lu Lingxi's instructions. Lu Lingxi was actually reluctant to leave Da Hei for a few days, but thinking about what he had promised Fang Lei before, he had to squat down and hug Da Hei and kiss her, so that he could obey Fang Lei's words.

Da Hei reluctantly licked the saliva on Lu Lingxi's face and jumped into Fang Lei's car. Xiao Hui immediately froze. He guessed that he couldn't beat Da Hei. He turned around and screamed at Fang Lei. He opened his front paws left and right and gave Fang Lei several slaps.

Fang Lei: "…"

Lu Lingxi wanted to die of laughter, but he couldn't really laugh out of concern for Fang Lei's face, so his stomach hurt. Yan Yue hooked the corners of his mouth rather unscrupulously, and one could imagine Fang Lei's future days. However, Xiao Hui is really powerful. If Fang Lei has developed a tacit understanding with Xiao Hui in the process of feeding Xiao Hui, even if he can't communicate, Yan Yue feels that Xiao Hui is enough to help Fang Lei in the process of handling the case.

Fang Lei was sent away, Yan Yue and Lu Lingxi also returned to Fengcheng. Instead of going home, the two went directly to micro-gardening.

When it was time for micro gardening, Lu Lingxi received a call from Wang Chaoliang. "Xiao Xi, are you coming over today? When does Micro Gardening open?"

"Uncle Wang? Brother Yan and I are on our way to Micro Gardening, and we'll be there soon."

"Okay, I'll wait for you at the door of Micro Gardening, we'll talk later."

Wang Dynasty Liang took half a month off during the Chinese New Year, and will be traveling again in a few days. He is now a Distinguished Fellow at Micro Horticultural Technology. Although his official position is a researcher at the Fengcheng Institute of Botany, the institute does not object to researchers like Wang Chaoliang working in similar technology companies outside. After all, the Institute of Botany belongs to the Qingshui Yamen, and there is usually no external oil and water. The staff inside are all earning dead wages, and they are very poor. This kind of part-time work outside is regarded by the Institute as a means of supporting their families by default, and generally the companies they work for are also partners of the Institute.

Wang Chaoliang used to be a bit stubborn and didn't like this kind of cooperation. He has always felt that the part-time researchers in the institute put the cart before the horse, and it is difficult to determine the source of detailed results in this cooperation model. Generally, similar part-time researchers have research results, and they will be converted into market interests by their named cooperative companies. This is also the default unspoken rule.

The spider plant that Wang Chaoliang studied last time came from micro-horticulture, and he gave Lu Lingxi the right to the new plant variety without a second thought. Although some colleagues joked afterward if he was also hanging up at Micro Gardening, Wang Chaoliang knew that he had no intention of taking a part-time job outside. Yan Yue could see what he meant and didn't say anything, but when he came to Lu Lingxi one time, he deliberately took out two samples of mutated Rubus spp. and an evolved variant of Rubus spp. Wang Chaoliang's eyes lit up at that time, he knew it was Yan Yue's "trap", but he still couldn't resist this temptation. After a few days of itching, he took the initiative to find Yan Yue, put forward the intention of cooperation, and became a special researcher of Micro Horticulture. Through his connection, Micro Horticulture became a natural partner of Fengcheng Institute of Botany.

Of course, Lu Lingxi didn't know these private twists and turns, and neither Wang Chaoliang nor Yan Yue planned to tell him this. Lu Lingxi was quite happy that Wang Chaoliang could join Micro Horticulture, and he didn't take it seriously as a partner of the Plant Institute. On the contrary, after Wang Chaoliang joined micro-horticulture, he was very concerned about the interests of micro-horticulture out of responsibility. Any suitable project here also has micro-gardening in mind.

Yan Yue thought that Chao Liang was a good person, and through these little things, he recognized Chao Liang. The reason why he hopes to cooperate with Wang Chaoliang is for the right to a new variety of Rubus spp. after the evolution. Huaguo's application for new plant variety rights is relatively convenient, but it requires a request for new plant variety rights, instructions and photos. Neither the request letter nor the photo is a problem, but the instruction manual must be issued by a professional.

Considering that Su Lang's research is progressing very smoothly, and sooner or later, they will meet Hepu one day, Yan Yue naturally has to plan ahead and control the raw materials in his own hands. For this reason, a professional researcher who can be trusted is very necessary.

Wang Dynasty Liang also learned about Yan Yue's intentions after he joined Micro Gardening. He was not interested at all in the interests behind these, and all his mind was on the research of Rubescens.

Lu Lingxi hung up the phone, Yan Yue had already seen Wang Chaoliang from a distance. He stood alone at the door of Micro Gardening, holding a large thermos cup in his hand. Yan Yue parked the car on the side of the road, and Lu Lingxi greeted Wang Chao Liang with frowning eyes.

Wang Dynasty Liang looked at Lu Lingxi and smiled affectionately, and habitually began to look for Da Hei behind him.

"Da Hei didn't come today?" Wang Chao Liang was a little surprised. Generally, Da Hei always follows Lu Lingxi closely and will never leave Lu Lingxi's sight.

"Da Hei has been raised at a friend's house these days, and it will take a few days to come back." Lu Lingxi explained.

Wang Dynasty Liang shook his head with a smile, shook the thermos cup in his hand regretfully, and said, "Your grandma Wang also made a pot of bone soup for Da Hei, it seems that Da Hei is Can't drink."

Lu Lingxi was a little embarrassed. Grandma Wang often gave Da Hei some food, and she was more interested in Da Hei than him. Thinking about Grandma Wang's age, he wanted to ask Wang Chaoliang to persuade Grandma Wang not to have to work so hard in the future. Wang Chaoliang saw what Lu Lingxi meant and laughed.

"Xiaoxi, don't be embarrassed, your grandma Wang has nothing to do at home every day, and there is a **** that makes her think about it, which is also a kind of emotional sustenance."

The time they were talking, Yan Yue had already opened the store. Wang Chaoliang followed the two into the store and talked about the purpose of his visit this time. In a few days, Wang Chaoliang will go to Kunnan, where there is the largest virgin rainforest in the northern hemisphere, and next to the rainforest is the largest Kunnan Botanical Garden in China, where Wang Chaoliang's destination is. This time I went to Wang Chaoliang for exchange and study, and I had to stay there for half a year. He intends to bring the research on Rubescens over there. His own research on Rubescens has also come to an end, and there are still some materials that need to be sorted out before the application for new plant variety rights can be published.

"Kunnan?"

Lu Lingxi was a little yearning. He had seen the introduction of the Kunnan virgin rainforest on TV. The average annual temperature in Kunnan is about 20 degrees, making it a paradise for plants. According to rough statistics, there are more than 20,000 kinds of plants found in the Kunnan primitive rainforest, and there are many undiscovered plants in the inaccessible places in the depths of the rainforest. The entire rainforest is a large plant base, providing a natural gene treasure house for the development of plant research in China.

Yan Yue heard Lu Lingxi's desire and moved. A few years ago, Ye Kang told him that he should take Lu Lingxi to go out for a walk. The place he thought was going to be Kunnan. "Do you want to visit Xiaoxi? We can find time to stay for a few days." Yan Yue looked at Lu Lingxi and said softly.

Lu Lingxi's eyes lit up when he heard the words, but then he thought that Micro Gardening was still open, and Wang Shuxiu was pregnant again... He nodded obediently and said, "I want to go, but I can't live without people here. "

Wang Chaoliang interjected: "Xiaoxi is worried that there is no one in the store? You can temporarily find a part-time job to help you watch for a few days. If you go, I happen to be in Kunnan and can show you a good tour. Visit the botanical garden. Usually only a part of the botanical garden in Kunnan is open to the public, and some plants are invisible to tourists.”

The temptation of plants is very great, Lu Lingxi frowned tangled, "But my mother is pregnant, I want to be by my mother's side."

Wang Dynasty Liang was a little surprised, "Xiaoxi has a younger brother?"

Lu Lingxi nodded happily, and said seriously, "Sister, I like both."

Wang Dynasty Liang laughed, thinking that Lu Lingxi was only 19 years old after all, and he still looked like a child. He himself thought that Yan Yue's proposal was a good one. Taking advantage of his convenience in Kunnan Botanical Garden, he could take Lu Lingxi for a walk. But Lu Lingxi wanted to stay by Wang Shuxiu's side, so he couldn't say anything else.

The three chatted for a while, Wang Chaoliang saw that it was almost ten o'clock, and there were more customers in the store, so they didn't stay any longer. Lu Lingxi was busy receiving guests, and Yan Yue sent the dynasty to show micro gardening. Wang Chaoliang remembered one thing before leaving, and confirmed with Yan Yue, "Are you sure that you are only applying for the new plant variety rights of the No.

The so-called No. 1 Rubescens refers to a variant of Rubescens, and No. 2 is a variant of Rubescens that was evolved by Lu Lingxi. For the convenience of distinguishing, Wang Chaoliang directly numbered the two samples, which he also used to call No. 1 and No. 2.

Yan Yue raised his eyebrows and nodded.

Wang Chaoliang felt strange, since he studied it, why not apply for both? Yan Yue's giving up the new plant variety rights of No. 1 Rubescens also means giving up the related benefits brought by No. 1. However, although he didn't get along with Yan Yue for a long time, he knew that people like Yan Yue always had a purpose in doing things and would not give up their interests in vain. Yan Yue didn't say anything, he didn't bother to ask any more, waved his hand and left Micro Gardening.

Send Wang Chaoliang away, Yan Yue looked at Zhongjing's direction and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, evoking a mocking smile. Wang Chaoliang had good intentions, but if he also applied for the new plant variety rights of the mutant Rubus spp., wouldn't Hepu's research be in trouble now? It is a good thing for Hepu. They were able to switch research directions early, and the losses were only a drop in the bucket. What he wanted was far more than that. Wouldn't it be more interesting to push it lightly when Hepu thought he was successful?
