start with a pet store

Chapter 956 Master Song Yixing

He did what he said. He smiled and said to Ji Ling, "You've been back for a few days, but you haven't had a good rest. How about we take a day off today and go out for some fun?"

"Okay, okay, but are you okay? The store..." Ji Ling didn't want to pour cold water on her. She was just a teenage girl, so why didn't she want to go out and play? It was also because of her conditions. If it were a child from another family, many of them would still be in their parents' arms, thinking about where to go and play every day. They didn't have to be like her, earning their own living expenses every day.

However, the only thing that made her lucky was that she met Lu Jingxing, an outstanding boy who only had eyes for her.

"There are only two minor operations today. Xiao Liu can do it. I will arrange it..." Lu Jingxing said after taking a mouthful of porridge.

"Okay, okay, where are we going? How about taking Xiaochen and Xiaoxi with us?" Ji Ling tilted her head and looked at Lu Jingxing.

"Hmm? It's not impossible..." Lu Jingxing thought for a moment and said, "Then let's go for a picnic and bring the barbecue grill."

"Yes, yes, this is fine..." Ji Ling said happily.

Lu Jingxing scratched her nose and said, "Naughty, come on, let's go pick them up after breakfast. It just so happens that Black Tiger and General have been brought out too, so we can go together. They were still nagging about wanting to play with Black Tiger and General a few days ago."

“Hmm…” Ji Ling took a few mouthfuls of porridge, looking contented.

The two of them quickly finished their breakfast, packed up, and went out with Hei Hu and the general.

The two drove directly to the downstairs of my aunt's house. Ji Ling smiled and said, "How about we go up together to pick them up and ask my aunt if they are going."

"Haha, then it will become a small dinner party." Lu Jingxing said with a smile.

“It’s more fun when there are more people…” Ji Ling stuck out her tongue.

"Okay, let's go..." He turned around and said to Heihu who was sitting in the back seat: "Heihu, you wait here for us, we will be down soon..."

"Woof...Okay..." Black Tiger and the general looked up at the same time and called out a moderately loud cry.

Lu Jingxing got out of the car with a smile, and they went upstairs together.

When the doorbell rang, Lu Chen ran to open the door: "Who is it?"

Then he saw Lu Jingxing and Ji Lingze outside the door and was very surprised: "Brother, Sister Lingzi, why are you here... Aunt, brother and others are here."

The aunt followed with Xiaobao in one hand and a set of clothes in the other: "Hey? Why are you here at this time?"

Lu Jingxing touched Lu Xi's head and said, "We just decided to go out and have some fun, so we came to pick you up."

"Okay, okay, where are we going..." Lu Chen and Lu Xi jumped up with joy when they heard it.

"Let's go to the suburbs and have a picnic..." Ji Ling said with a smile.

The two of them had just put up the barbecue grill before going out, but it was a spur of the moment decision and they hadn't prepared any food yet, so they had to go to the supermarket later.

"Oh, oh, sure, I love picnics the most..." Lu Chen clapped his hands and laughed, then asked naively: "Brother, what is a picnic?"

“Hahahaha…” His question caused everyone to laugh: “You don’t even know what a picnic is for, and you still have the nerve to say that you love picnics the most, you really are…”

Lu Chen scratched his head awkwardly and chuckled, "Anyway, as long as my brother takes me out to play, I'll like it. I don't care what the cooking is."

"That's the truth. Xiaojing, you take the two siblings with you. Your uncle and I are going to a colleague's wedding later. I just told grandma to come over to accompany Xiaochen and Xiaoxi and cook for them. This way, grandma won't have to come." Ji Ling had already taken Xiaobao from his aunt, who was changing Xiaobao's clothes as she spoke.

"Is that so? Okay then, I'll take them both with me. Where's my uncle?" Lu Jingxing asked when he didn't see his uncle.

"He went to your grandma's house. Grandma said the drain was blocked and asked him to go check it out. He should be back soon."

Xiaobao was really a bit naughty, twisting and turning in Ji Ling's arms. Even though his aunt was very skilled, it took her a long time to help him change his clothes. Meanwhile, Xiaobao's little butt was slapped more than once.

Lu Jingxing thought for a moment and said, "In the future, if this happens, you can tell me that I will take care of Xiaochen and Xiaoxi, and let grandma cook for them. It's too hard. Didn't I say that we have a small canteen now? It's easy to add them two."

"I know. I thought that we would go back after dinner anyway. I also asked them, and they said that they knew you might be busy, so just prepare to do your homework at home." The aunt smiled as she looked at Ji Ling who was sitting on the floor playing with Xiaochen, Xiaoxi and Xiaobao, and said to Lu Jingxing.

Lu Jingxing nodded: "Anyway, next time something like this happens, don't be embarrassed, just tell me."

"I see. I may not be polite to you." My aunt laughed.

"I'm just afraid that you'll be too polite..." Lu Jingxing took out a wad of money from his wallet without counting it. There were probably more than two thousand yuan. Now is the Internet age, and cash is really rare. This was the cash he received in the store a while ago. He had kept it in his wallet for a long time and had never spent it.

"When you go to drink, you should give cash in a red envelope. I happen to have some here. Take it." As he said this, he put the money directly into my aunt's pocket.

"No, no, you give so much every month. We have money. We can go out and get it later. Besides, many things can be paid by scanning codes now..." My aunt turned away and refused to accept it.

"Aunt, look, you just said you wouldn't be polite to me. I said, I just happen to have some, and it's not a lot, take it..." Lu Jingxing said somewhat firmly.

"You kid..." Seeing Lu Jingxing's stern face, the aunt had to accept the money honestly. She knew Lu Jingxing. Since he had taken out the money, he would definitely not take it back. Even if she didn't take the money now, he might still stuff it in a corner before leaving, and then call her after he left.

So, she stopped worrying about it and just accepted it.

"That's right. Let's set off first. We also need to buy some food to take with us." Lu Jingxing turned his anger into a smile.

"Okay, Xiaobao, come here. Your brothers are about to go out. Mommy will hold you..." The aunt smiled and picked up Xiaobao, who was having fun with his brothers.

"No, don't..." Xiaobao pushed his mother's hand away and hugged Ji Ling tightly. His two little legs wrapped around Ji Ling's waist tightly, holding her tightly.

"Be good, Xiaobao. Your brothers are going out. Let's go out and play later..." The aunt tried to reason with Xiaobao.

"Don't..." Xiaobao tried hard to express his feelings with the limited words he had.

When the aunt pushed him again, Xiaobao suddenly burst into tears. She was afraid that Ji Ling would be caught off guard: "No, I want my sister..."

"Aunt, aunt, how about, let us take Xiaobao with us, we can go to the supermarket to buy food ourselves, and then make barbecue, I think we can take good care of him." Seeing Xiaobao holding him like this, Ji Ling couldn't bear to let go of the little guy.

"He's being naughty. If he makes a scene, you guys will have a hard time getting out to play, and you bring a little kid like this with you..." The aunt looked at her son with an expression that said, "You're not my mother, this is my mother." She didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"We are here. We play with my brother every day. He won't make trouble. I will make milk for him." Lu Xi pulled her aunt and tilted her head to look at her.

"Let us take him, bring his daily necessities, and you can think of it as a day off. We will take good care of him." Lu Jingxing also agreed with Ji Ling's suggestion. Usually, Xiaobao was taken care of by his aunt. It turned out that his aunt had not had a day off for more than a year. He thought it was a good decision to let them take care of the little guy for a day.

"This..." Auntie hesitated: "You finally got a day off..."

"It's okay, we take him out to play, isn't it also a way to rest? Don't worry, it's really okay..." Lu Jingxing said again.

"I've prepared all his things, let's go..." At this time, Lu Chen, who had just disappeared, came to the group pushing Xiaobao's stroller.

His action left everyone stunned.

"Haha, Xiaochen, you brought so many things..." The aunt looked at the materials prepared in the cart with some surprise. From small things like water bottles to large things like quilts, everything was available. Not to mention playing for a day, even staying overnight would probably be no problem.

"So, auntie, don't worry, we can definitely take good care of Xiaobao." Lu Chen vowed.

Seeing everyone saying this and Xiaobao's expression, my aunt also began to soften her stance towards their proposal.

Xiao Bao looked at his mother with tears in his eyes. This little guy was very smart and seemed to have seen through his mother's thoughts. He turned around and said in a baby voice: "Mom, go play with sister..."

Everyone stared at Xiaobao with surprise.

"Wow, Xiaobao, why are you talking so much..." Lu Xi was the first to react.

Xiaobao looked at the few people with pride and smugness on his face.

"Aunt, just let Xiaobao go with us..." Lu Xi shook her aunt's hand and acted coquettishly.

Seeing that everyone was looking at her sincerely, the aunt nodded: "Okay..."

"Yeah...Xiaobao, are you happy? You can go with us." Lu Xi jumped up, hugged Xiaobao and kissed him.

Xiaobao also laughed and danced.

Seeing that everyone was so happy, my aunt also started laughing.

Then, she picked out a few items from the cart that Lu Chen had cleaned up, prepared milk powder and other things, and brought a kettle of boiled hot water before handing Xiaobao over to them.

I watched them get into the car together.

The space in the car was fully utilized. Three children were in the back seat, two dogs were lying on the back seat, and the trunk was occupied by picnic utensils.

Lu Jingxing fastened his seat belt, turned on the navigation, and looked at the distance.

It is about five kilometers from here, which is not far, otherwise it would be difficult to transport the birds.

But the only drawback is that the location is a bit remote, basically an undeveloped area, and there are only factories around it. There is no other way, it is not easy to acquire this piece of land.

This is the most headache-inducing point for Lu Jingxing. If a forest area is built around an industrial park, the pollution and noise will cause people a headache.

So he also wanted to see what Song Yixing was doing.

When we arrived at the gate, a blue fence that looked like a construction site blocked the car.

Ji Ling looked ahead, then at Lu Jingxing: "Are you sure there's a place for a picnic here? Isn't this a construction site?"

Lu Jingxing narrowed his eyes. He had been here before. The environment of this place was actually similar to that of a park. There was a place for picnics, and there was even a natural lawn beside the small river in the middle. However, the construction site-like arrangement of this place made Lu Jingxing a little confused.

He looked carefully and found that the door was not locked.
"Wait in the car for a moment, I'll go open the door." Lu Jingxing got out of the car.

He pushed the door, and sure enough, it opened. Looking inside, he saw a dense forest and could faintly hear the sound of water.

There were just a few more large trucks that ruined the view, a tree-moving truck and an excavator.

Lu Jingxing didn't think much about it, went back to drive and entered the woods.

After all, the picnic is just a cover, and the purpose is to thoroughly investigate the situation.

Following the road all the way to the entrance, Lu Jingxing quickly recognized some new trees. Banyan trees and camphor trees originally only accounted for a small part, but now they have become the majority.

This is not surprising. Banyan trees have always been known as bird paradise. As an evergreen tree all year round, its lush branches and aerial roots are good nesting places for birds, and its fruits provide a rich source of food for birds. Birds can also spread its fruits, which is a win-win situation.

Although the camphor tree does not have that kind of fruit, its characteristics as an evergreen tree are no different from those of the banyan tree.

More importantly, these two types of trees have strong sound insulation effects, which can minimize the impact of nearby factories.

Lu Jingxing nodded, acknowledging Song Yixing's business capabilities.

Continuing to walk inside, Lu Jingxing already saw the stream.

The stream had not changed much from last time. The little guys were very happy to see the water. They waded in the shallow water. Black Tiger and General watched them closely to prevent them from getting into any safety problems.

Lu Jingxing stood on the shore. There was something different around the stream. Lu Jingxing noticed the changes made by Song Yixing. He loaded blackberries on the edge of the stream. Blackberries are one of the favorite foods of birds. At the same time, raspberry fruits are also a valuable economic crop.

The water is very clear and there are many fish in it. It’s a pity that there are no wetlands in this area, so it can’t attract birds that like to eat fish, otherwise these fish would have a place to go.

"Should we dig an artificial pond to raise fish? Fish can also be profitable. Or maybe we can cultivate some rare fish like the rescue station does..." Lu Jingxing pondered.

"Brother Lu, come here, there are a lot of flowers here." Ji Ling called him happily.

Lu Jingxing followed. With Heihu and the general by his younger brother and sister's side, he was not that worried.

Lu Jingxing took a closer look and found that it was an Aster flower. This flower species came from abroad and belonged to the genus Aster in the Asteraceae family. It could attract butterflies and other things. Looking at the soil on the ground, Lu Jingxing guessed that these were also flowers cultivated by Song Yixing. He couldn't help but admire this man even more. He was able to plant suitable plants according to local conditions. This ability could not be provided by knowledge in books alone. His theoretical foundation must be quite solid.

"It seems that Song Yixing is indeed a master." Lu Jingxing said to himself.
