The letter contained only a thin piece of paper with a few crooked words written on it: "Be careful of Old Lady Lu."

Shen Qiqi and Lu Qing exchanged glances, both understanding the meaning of the letter.

Old Mrs. Lu is not a pushover and will definitely find ways to stop them.

However, they are not easily frightened!

"When the enemy comes, we will fight them; when the water comes, we will block it with earth." Shen Qiqi shrugged, looking relaxed, "Let's get down to business first!"

As soon as she said it, Shen Qiqi immediately ran to the village committee and started to organize the information.

She was like a gust of wind, flipping through various documents and reports, and was busy all the time.

Lu Qing also came to help. The two of them worked together in perfect harmony and with great efficiency. The air was filled with a positive atmosphere, as if pink bubbles were floating in the air.

When Mrs. Lu heard the news, she could no longer sit still.

Like an old-fashioned gramophone, she spread Shen Qiqi's "crimes" everywhere in the village, such clichés as "There are three unfilial acts, and the worst is to have no descendants" and "Ruining the village morals", which made people's ears callused.

"This Shen Qiqi is so restless! She can't live a good life, but she has to make trouble!" Mrs. Lu spitted everywhere, wishing she could eat Shen Qiqi alive.

However, Shen Qiqi didn't take her seriously at all.

She was like turning on the do not disturb mode, completely blocking out Mrs. Lu's noise and focusing on the preparations. This attitude of ignoring made Mrs. Lu more crazy than confronting her head-on.

"Hmph, let's see how long you can be so proud!" Old Mrs. Lu stamped her feet in anger, but there was nothing she could do.

As the inspection day drew closer, Shen Qiqi's preparations entered the final sprint stage.

She had a thorough understanding of the village's situation, and her reform plans became increasingly refined.

"Qiqi, you've worked hard." Lu Qing looked at her with concern and handed her a cup of hot water.

Shen Qiqi took the water cup and smiled sweetly: "For our future, this little bit of hardship is nothing!"

At this moment, there was a commotion at the entrance of the village...

The sound of tractors rumbling from far away broke the tranquility of the small mountain village.

Immediately afterwards, a shiny jeep appeared at the entrance of the village, and several people in cadre uniforms jumped out of the car. They were government officials from the town who came to inspect!

The villagers were in an uproar, and they gathered around, looking at these rare guests curiously.

Shen Qiqi took a deep breath, calmed her excitement, stepped forward, and introduced herself and her plan for village rule reform to the officials in a calm and generous manner.

"Hello, leaders! I'm Shen Qiqi. Our village is preparing to carry out some reforms and we hope to get support from the government!" She pointed to a hand-drawn chart behind her and spoke eloquently, from the analysis of the current situation to the reform measures, and then to the future vision, with clear logic and clear organization.

She skillfully incorporated the government's policies and guidelines into her own plan and explained them with some easy-to-understand examples, which made the officials nod their heads frequently.

"The concept of 'distribution according to work, more work, more pay' is very good. It is in line with the current policy direction and can also stimulate the enthusiasm of villagers!" said an official with appreciation.

Shen Qiqi struck while the iron was hot and added, "We also plan to develop some specialty industries, such as growing medicinal herbs, raising poultry, etc., to give villagers more sources of income. By then, our village will become a well-known 'rich village'!" She winked playfully, causing the surrounding villagers to laugh.

The officials were infected by her enthusiasm and confidence and expressed their approval.

"Comrade Xiao Shen, your idea is very innovative and feasible. We will take your proposal back and study it carefully, and strive to provide some support!"

Hearing this, Shen Qiqi almost jumped up with excitement, thinking in her heart: Yes!

Done!

She quickly thanked the officials, a proud smile on her face.

The surrounding villagers saw this scene and looked at Shen Qiqi.

Lu Qing, standing in the crowd, always followed Shen Qiqi with his eyes full of love and pride.

He quietly walked to Shen Qiqi, took her hand, and squeezed it gently, silently conveying his support and encouragement.

Shen Qiqi held his hand back, and they smiled at each other, an electric current of happiness flowing between them.

This scene happened to be seen by several villagers, who all showed envy and whispered: "Qiqi and Lu Qing are really a perfect match!"

At this time, Uncle Wang walked out from the crowd with a hint of hesitation on his face...

"Qiqi..." Uncle Wang rubbed his calloused hands, his face full of confusion. He held it in for a long time as if he was constipated before he spoke: "Qiqi, this reform... It's not that I don't support it, it's just... it's..." He hesitated for a long time and couldn't make any sense.

Shen Qiqi saw through his thoughts at a glance, walked forward, took his arm affectionately, and said softly: "Uncle Wang, I know you are doing this for the good of the village and are worried that the reform will bring some negative effects. But don't worry, I have considered all possible problems, and the government also supports us. If we work together, we will definitely make the village a better place!"

Uncle Wang looked at Shen Qiqi's sincere eyes and listened to her clear explanation, and the doubts in his heart gradually dissipated.

He sighed deeply and patted the back of Shen Qiqi's hand, "Okay, Qiqi girl, I believe you! As long as it's good for the village, I support it!"

When the surrounding villagers heard what Uncle Wang said, they all applauded and their faces were filled with gratified smiles.

With the support of Uncle Wang, Shen Qiqi's confidence increased. Based on the suggestions of government officials and feedback from villagers, she revised and improved the reform plan overnight.
