When he woke up early in the morning, Lin Zeng hadn't washed his face yet, and he saw the little mantis break into the room and shake a bunch of things on the bed.

"Mr. Lin Zeng, I'm so sleepy!" Miss Lanny's sharp mouthparts, one by one, played a yawning motion, looking so vivid.

“……”

Lin Zeng silently looked at the red, red, blue and blue things on the bed, not knowing what to say.

"Mr. Lin Zeng, this morning, I want two fried pork steaks, thank you. Miss Lannie said excitedly as she rubbed her two big knife feet against each other.

“…… Ok no problem. Lin Zeng guessed that this Miss Lanny, who had just returned from a long trip, was afraid that she was working overtime all night last night to collect the water attribute crystal source body and longevity fruit.

Looking at her dangling inverted triangular head, Lin Zeng couldn't help but say, "Lanny, you don't have to finish things at night at once, it's too tiring." I'm not in a hurry, I do things one by one and take my time. ”

Miss Lanny stared at Lin Zeng in surprise with big compound eyes, and after listening to what he said, she immediately raised her voice and said loudly: "You're not in a hurry, I'm in a hurry!!"

"Huh?" Lin Zeng was a little confused.

"Oops," said Miss Lannie, who suddenly began to shake her beautiful blue petal wings, "Mr. Lin Zeng, I forgot to mention that I am going to apply for a week's vacation. ”

"......" Lin Zeng always felt that this young lady was going to magnify the bomb behind. "What is the reason?"

"Uh, maternity leave?" Miss Lannie said, remembering what she had seen in the magazine, and said uncertainly.

"!!" Lin Zeng glared, and suddenly he was in a trance, and couldn't help but look at Miss Mantis's white-purple soft belly.

Miss Mantis has been on a business trip for less than two weeks, what happened?

Our little orchid, which bastard arched it?

Lin Zeng couldn't help patting his head, thinking of crying without tears.

Miss Lannie didn't care how much of the bomb she had dropped in the space of a few seconds had hit her breeder, she felt that she had found the right excuse and ran happily to the diner, waiting for a hearty breakfast, and going back to take care of the stolen mantis eggs.

For a whole day, Jiang Hua felt that Lin Zeng was not in a state of mind.

He walked and touched tables and chairs, looked into the distance inexplicably while eating, and talked to himself from time to time, said strange things, asked strange questions, and looked up ways to breed praying mantis larvae on the Internet.

"What should I do if an employee suddenly takes maternity leave?"

"Will the female praying mantis really eat her husband?"

"Do you think it's more appropriate to give a few days of maternity leave to mothers? ”

“……”

——

——

The common praying mantis, which dies after laying eggs.

After the egg masses are overwintered, as the weather warms up, at the right temperature, small mantis mantis will hatch.

However, this is in a natural environment.

If the eggs are insects in an artificial environment, the hatching environment can be adjusted by the facility equipment, and the mantis larvae can hatch even in winter.

The mantis eggs stolen by Miss Lannie came to a special pet store that specializes in selling and hatching rare mantises.

The hapless pet shop owner, the mantis eggs that are about to hatch, are targeted by Miss Lannie, who steals them out of the incubator and happily carries them home, ready to be a mother.

The store owner should have called the police when the mantis eggs worth tens of thousands of dollars were missing, but the banknotes neatly stacked next to the incubator did not make the pet store owner lose money, but there was a small surplus.

Miss Lanny was not short of money at all.

The income from the plant gym has basically not been used much, except for anonymous donations to the Mind Dancer Rehabilitation Center in Beijing City to provide recovery funds for autistic patients.

Miss Lannie is a thief who is a thief, but she is a thief who throws money after stealing.

Miss Lannie finished eating the pan-fried tenderloin that Lin had prepared for her, and immediately flew back to her orchid house to check the mantis eggs that were about to hatch.

Miss Lanny, who had already applied to Lin Zeng for so-called "maternity leave", had already focused most of her attention on these mantis eggs. She happily decorated her orchid house, flapped her orchid-like wings, and happily prepared for the birth of these praying mantis cubs.

At the top of Beacon Hill, far from the city, a group of small mantis is about to be born.

At the lavender farm not far away, Jiang Hua and Lin Zeng were discussing the issue of a thousand workers pulling out the bed of milk and fruit.

"Three people contacted me through my teacher, a wealthy businessman from Wenhai City, who custom-made furniture for his daughter's wedding, and he was one of my regular customers. A very popular actress Dahua, she will hold a wedding in three months, I don't know where I saw the photo of the circle of friends shared by my teacher, and asked someone to ask the price of this thousand-worker stepping bed. There is also a boss of a tech company who is purely a collector and is not short of money. ”

Jiang Hua held his cheeks with one hand and grabbed the fried soybeans in his hand with the other, and bit the "Karakala" sounded.

In front of her was the two-size-sized thousand-step bed, which told Lin Zeng about how the bed had recently made waves in the collecting world.

Before the two milk fruit carved thousands of workers pull out the bed, before they grow up, many details can only be seen with a magnifying glass, but after the Jiang painting makes it grow, those exquisite and abnormal carvings exude charming charm under the naked eye.

It is no wonder that there are a large number of local tyrants who are not bad for money, and they have inquired one after another, eager to take them home for collection.

"What about you?" Lin Zeng preferred the fried rice crisp on the table, and he raised his eyes to look into Jiang Hua's eyes. Her gaze was as calm as a still lake, as if she was not a fortune that could be sold for millions at any time, but just a child's toy car. "Do you want to sell it to them?"

Lin Zeng felt that after living with Jiang Hua for a long time, there was a tacit understanding that she understood her mind before hearing the answer. When he asked, he seemed to have a premonition of her answer.

"Well, I don't really want to sell this one. Jiang Hua told Lin Zeng his thoughts, and sure enough, he expected it.

"After all, it is my most satisfying work so far, and it is also the first 1,000-work bed that has been successfully completed without mistakes. At that time, when I finished all the carvings, I felt a strong sense of accomplishment when I saw the joy and completeness of it, and I thought that I would still be able to remember it vividly when I looked at it in a hundred years. ”

Jiang Hua picked up a fried soybean and put it in his mouth, the corners of his mouth were raised, and his eyes narrowed slightly, I don't know if he was recalling the delicious taste of the small snacks fried with topaz soybeans, or recalling the state of mind when he completed this work.

"So, even though the price they offered was exciting, I still didn't want to sell the 1,000-worker bed. I'm going to keep it forever, and when I'm too old to walk, sit in a rocking chair and savor the joy of that time. ”

Jiang Hua seemed to think of the picture of the twilight of the sunset in his mouth, and smiled even more happily.

"Well, don't forget me, I'm sure I'm sitting in another rocking chair too. Lin Zeng said solemnly.
