Pastoral Daily Life

The next morning, Lu Lingxi woke up at five oclock. The moment he moved, Dahei immediately opened his eyes, shook his fur and came over. Lu Lingxi smiled and stretched out his hand to touch Dahei, got up and washed up lightly. Dahei followed Lu Lingxi wherever he went without the need to call him.

After simply packing a few things, Lu Lingxi gently opened the door, and Dahei jumped out with a whoosh, squatting in the corridor and waiting for Lu Lingxi. Lu Lingxi had already told Wang Shuxiu about going to the flower market yesterday, but he still left a note and posted it in a conspicuous place in the living room. After going to the flower market with Su Weizheng once, Lu Lingxi took Dahei to the market himself once, even though he knew in his heart that “picking up” needed luck and he could not always come across the best spring orchids. Besides, without the power of nature, it was not certain whether the plant could be saved even if it was encountered; but under the huge financial pressure, he could not help but hold on to a little hope.

“Am I getting greedy?” Lu Lingxi whispered to Dahei.

Dahei whimpered twice quietly, as if to refute Lu Lingxis words. Lu Lingxi puffed out a laugh and scratched Daheis chin with a smile.

It was still early in the morning and the road was empty, so Lu Lingxi didnt put a muzzle on Dahei. Dahei trotted a few steps excitedly, turned his head and barked twice at Lu Lingxi. Lu Lingxi understood what Dahei meant; he was asking to run with him. He looked at Dahei helplessly; Dahei ran back to Lu Lingxis side in a flash, gently bit his pant leg and dragged him forward.

Lu Lingxi: “……”

Because of his poor health in the past, Lu Lingxi actually liked to be quiet and not to move much, but Dahei didnt understand Lu Lingxis psychology. Every time he was having fun, he had to drag Lu Lingxi along. Lu Lingxi stroked Daheis head speechlessly and was forced by Dahei to trot all the way to the flower market.

The two of them went straight to the corner of the flower market where the half-dead flowers and plants were discarded, and carefully examined them.

Lu Lingxi soon found a few calla lilies that were not yet dead. The panel showed that these calla lilies had started to rot from the petioles (the stalk that joins a leaf to a stem), which seemed to be caused by improper fertilisation. He planned to take them back and try to see if they could be saved, so that they could be kept at home to add some atmosphere.

Dahei, who had been quiet, suddenly straightened up and gave a low bark. Lu Lingxi turned around and when he saw who was behind him, surprise flashed in his eyes.

“Grandpa Zhang, Grandpa Zhao.”
