The noise grew closer, mixed with the gurgling of suitcase wheels and the noisy voices of people.

When Shen Qiqi and Lu Qing walked to the entrance of the village, they saw a group of young people who were dressed simply but could not hide their youthfulness walking towards them.

They were carrying large and small bags, with a hint of curiosity and confusion on their faces. These were the educated youth who went to the countryside.

"So many educated youth..." Lu Qing murmured, frowning.

Shen Qiqi also had a solemn expression. The atmosphere in the Lu family suddenly became tense, and the air seemed to freeze.

The leader was a tall male educated youth who wore glasses and looked gentle. He was Captain Zhao Zhiqing.

He looked around, his eyes revealing a determination to not give up.

"Hello fellow villagers, we are here to support rural development..."

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by the onlookers.

The villagers looked at these educated youth as if they were exotic animals. There was a sense of oppression in the air, like the calm before a storm.

"Is there enough food for so many people?" Aunt Wang shouted at the top of her voice, breaking the brief silence.

She stood at the entrance of the village with her hands on her hips like a door god. Her serious expression and high-pitched voice instantly ignited the anxiety in the hearts of the villagers.

"There's only so much land here. If there's not enough food to go around, what will we do?"

Captain Zhao Zhiqing's face flushed red, and anger surged in his heart.

"Auntie, what you said is wrong. We are here to..."

"Are you here to steal our jobs?" another villager replied sarcastically.

"We can also work and contribute to the village!" Captain Zhao Zhiqing's voice also rose eight degrees, and the atmosphere was tense.

Aunt Wang sneered, "Contribution? You city kids, with your delicate skin and flesh, what kind of work can you do?"

Captain Zhao Zhiqing took a deep breath and tried hard to suppress the anger in his heart.

He was about to open his mouth to refute, but was interrupted by Shen Qiqi...

"Aunties, fellow villagers, please stop talking!" Shen Qiqi's crisp voice was like a clear mountain spring, instantly extinguishing the powder keg that was about to explode.

"It's so hot, let the educated youth settle down first, have some water and rest their feet. We can discuss anything later." Shen Qiqi said, giving Captain Zhao a soothing look, then turned to Village Chief Sun, "Village Chief, do you think we should arrange for the educated youth to stay first?"

Village Chief Sun nodded quickly as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw: "Yes, yes, Qiqi is right! Let's all disperse and let the educated youth stay first. We can deal with other things later." He looked at Shen Qiqi gratefully. This girl is really smart. If it weren't for her, today's situation would be really difficult to deal with.

Although the villagers were still dissatisfied, since the village chief had spoken, they didn't say anything more and dispersed.

The tense atmosphere in the air gradually dissipated, replaced by a whisper.

Shen Qiqi did not arrange accommodation according to the previous average distribution method, but took a different approach.

She took out a notebook she had prepared in advance, which recorded in detail the situation of each household and the specialties of the educated youth.

"The Zhang family is in need of a strong laborer, and Li Zhiqing is a good farmhand. Aunt Liu has many children and needs help taking care of them, and Wang Zhiqing and Sun Zhiqing are both very skilled..."

Shen Qiqi arranged everything in an orderly manner, and the villagers' originally puzzled eyes gradually turned into surprise, and even some admiration.

These three daughters-in-law are really capable!

"Captain Zhao, you studied medicine. I see that the village clinic is short of staff. You..." Shen Qiqi turned to look at Captain Zhao Zhiqing.

Captain Zhao Zhiqing looked at Shen Qiqi, "

Captain Zhao Zhiqing looked at Shen Qiqi with unconcealed admiration in his eyes.

This woman is not simple!

The tense situation just now was resolved by her in just a few words. The accommodation arrangement was even more amazing. It was simply a model of "allocation according to needs". This operation was simply 666!

He stepped forward and said sincerely, "Comrade Shen, your arrangement is so reasonable and thoughtful! On behalf of all the educated youth, thank you!"

His sincere eyes were like a spring breeze, blowing away the haze in everyone's hearts, and the originally tense atmosphere instantly eased a lot.

The villagers looked at each other, as if reflecting on whether they had gone a little too far.

Shen Qiqi smiled slightly, and the little man in her heart put his hands on his hips and raised his head proudly.

Humph, you think this little situation can stump her?

She has seen a lot of storms!

It seems that living in this village in the 1970s was not that difficult!

A feeling of ease and joy spread among the crowd like small bubbles.

Lu Qing looked at Shen Qiqi from the side, his eyes full of undisguised love and pride.

My own wife is so outstanding and shining!

That confidence and courage made him unable to stop.

He walked silently to Shen Qiqi's side, stretched out his hand, and gently held her hand. The warm touch made Shen Qiqi's heart surge with warmth.

Their eyes met, and without words, they already understood each other's feelings.

The warm atmosphere spread between the two of them like ripples.

"Well... let's do this for now, everyone go home, we can talk about it tomorrow if there is anything!" Shen Qiqi clapped her hands and said crisply, with a hint of ease and playfulness in her tone.

"Okay! We'll do as you say!" The villagers responded one after another, and their tone became much softer, no longer as hostile as before.

Just as everyone was about to disperse, Captain Zhao Zhiqing suddenly said, "Comrade Shen, you haven't arranged where I should stay yet?"

Hearing this, Shen Qiqi slowly closed the notebook, turned her head, and looked at Captain Zhao Zhiqing, her tone carrying a hint of mystery: "Captain Zhao, don't be anxious...you..."
