Pastoral Daily Life

Tiger arrived at Tiny Garden quite quickly, not long after Lu Lingxi hung up the phone.

When a large basket of grapes was brought out of the car, Elder Sus eyes immediately lit up, “Nice grapes.”

Tiger didnt know who the old man was, but seeing Lu Lingxis familiar attitude with him, he grinned brightly, showing his white teeth. “Thats right, the products produced by our Yongchun vegetable greenhouse are definitely guaranteed high-quality products.”

Lu Lingxi was so amused by his words that his eyes curved with laughter. He invited Tiger and Erfei to sit down and rest. Then he went to the pet shop across the street to deliver some grapes and by the way washed a few clusters for everyone to eat. Soon Lu Lingxi came back with Dong Zhi in tow. Dong Zhi was still holding a few washed grapes in his hand, and as soon as he entered the shop he praised, “How did you grow these grapes, theyre so sweet?!”

Tiger immediately repeated the sentence he had just said, and Dong Zhi laughed. The two of them had met last time at the entrance of Tiny Garden and were not strangers, so they soon started chatting.

Lu Lingxi had washed two big bowls full of grapes, and the men ate them while chatting until finishing them clean in a while.

The grapes were really “delicious and extra sweet” as Tiger had commented. Some time ago, grapes were on sale, and Lu Lingxi also bought them several times. Who knows if it was because he had a dubious taste, but he always felt that most of the grapes tasted like water, or else they were very sour, and few of them could be described as delicious. But the grapes brought by Tiger were different. The soft flesh of the grapes with the sweet juice was so fragrant and tasty that it made you want to take another bite.

He heard from Tiger that the grapes grown were yielding quite a lot and that they would not be able to eat them all just by themselves. Brother Feng was planning to bring a few baskets to the wholesale market tonight to see how they would sell. Dong Zhi was very supportive, “What wholesale market, put them in the front street and theyll be snapped up in less than half an hour.” Everyone laughed. Lu Lingxi reminded Tiger to collect the grape seeds for seeding. Tiger laughed and said, “I know. At first the workers in the greenhouse saw that we were using seeds and privately said that we were amateurs, but now no one is saying that anymore and they are starting to ask where we bought the seeds.”

As soon as he said this, Elder Su became interested and found a small plastic bag to put some of the seeds they had spat out and said he would go back and plant them. Tiger sat for a while and then left, not staying in the shop much longer. Elder Su was about to leave as well. Lu Lingxi gave him a big bag of grapes, and the old man wasnt hypocritical and happily accepted it.

In a short while, Lu Lingxi had given away half of the basket of grapes that Tiger had brought to him, and several small shops around the area had received his grapes. Lu Lingxi washed a few clusters for Yan Yue to eat when he returned, and packed the rest in a bag to take home tonight.

While he was busy tidying up, he picked a large cluster of washed grapes and placed it in front of Dahei. Lu Lingxi couldnt feed Dahei while everyone was there just now. Now he was the only one left in the shop, so it didnt matter. Lu Lingxi stroked Daheis head and instructed, “Remember to spit out the seeds.”

Dahei gave a low bark and obeyed.

When Fang Lei found his way to Tiny Garden, what he saw was Dahei eating the grapes while spitting out the seeds. He stood in the doorway, looking at Dahei with a smile in his eyes and felt an unabashed fondness for him.
