"The ancestral hall collapsed?!" Shen Qiqi and Lu Qing looked at each other and ran towards the village entrance.

This ancestral hall is the largest building in the village. If it collapses, it will be a huge deal!

When I ran to the village entrance, I saw a group of villagers gathered in front of the ancestral hall, pointing and talking.

Amidst the flying dust, the once magnificent ancestral hall had collapsed in half, revealing the dilapidated beams and pillars inside.

"This...what should we do?" An old man beat his chest and stamped his feet, tears streaming down his face. "This is the ancestral foundation of our village!"

Shen Qiqi didn't have time to think about it, squeezed into the crowd, and carefully checked the situation in the ancestral hall.

The collapsed part was mainly concentrated in the hall, but fortunately there were no casualties.

She breathed a sigh of relief, but suddenly an idea flashed in her mind: Isn't this a ready-made venue?

!

Although it's a bit run-down, the space is large enough and can be used after a little tidying up!

While excited, Shen Qiqi was a little hesitant.

After all, it is an ancestral hall. Wouldn’t it be inappropriate to use it to hold activities?

She told Lu Qing about her idea, and Lu Qing thought it was feasible. Now they could only try it out.

"I'll go discuss it with the village chief!" Lu Qing said and went to find the village chief.

Shen Qiqi began to run between the two villages to coordinate various matters.

She was spinning like a top, arranging the venue, arranging the event process, and communicating with the villagers of the two villages...

Fatigue was like an invisible net, wrapping her tightly.

"Qiqi, drink some water and take a rest." Lu Qing handed her a bowl of water and looked at her with concern.

Shen Qiqi took the water, gulped down a few sips, and felt a little stronger.

"No, I have to arrange these things quickly." She wiped the sweat from her forehead and got back to work.

As the day of the exchange activity draws closer, the venue has been almost set up.

However, just one day before the event, an accident happened.

The village square that we had agreed to borrow was suddenly told to be used to dry grain and could not be used!

Shen Qiqi suddenly felt like she was struck by thunder. What should she do?

She was anxious, her brows were furrowed, and she was running around like an ant on a hot pan.

"Calm down, Qiqi, there must be other ways." Lu Qing held her hand tightly, trying to calm her down.

The calm aura emanating from him gradually infected Shen Qiqi.

Shen Qiqi took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.

She looked up at the sky, her eyes sweeping across the distant mountains, and suddenly, she thought of something...

"Lu Qing..." She turned her head suddenly and looked at Lu Qing, "Perhaps... we still have one last choice..."

Shen Qiqi's eyes were surprisingly bright, like two shining stars.

"Lu Qing! We also have our village square and the cultural square of the neighboring village! If we use both squares together, the space will be larger and we can showcase different characteristics!"

Lu Qing was stunned, then slapped his thigh, "Yeah! Why didn't I think of it! Qiqi, you are so smart!" He hugged Shen Qiqi excitedly and gave her a loud kiss on the forehead.

Shen Qiqi's cheeks flushed slightly, but her heart felt as sweet as if she had eaten honey.

She gently pushed Lu Qing away, "Hurry, let's go tell everyone!

"

The two of them trotted back to the village and told the anxiously waiting villagers about their idea.

The originally gloomy atmosphere was instantly broken, and a wave of excitement swept across the entire village.

"What a great idea! Using both squares together would be even better than using the ancestral hall!"

"Qiqi is such a treasure! She always comes up with good ideas!"

"That's great! The event doesn't have to be canceled! I have to hurry back and prepare my signature dish!"

The villagers rushed to tell each other, their joy was beyond words.

The news quickly spread to neighboring villages and received the same enthusiastic response.

In the squares of the two villages, the villagers worked together to begin setting up the venue.

Colorful flags are flying, gongs and drums are beating, and the scene is very lively.

Shen Qiqi and Lu Qing also joined in, the two of them working in perfect harmony, one hanging ribbons and the other moving tables, their busy figures intertwined.

Lu Qing looked up at Shen Qiqi from time to time, his eyes full of love and admiration.

The sunlight shining on her sweaty forehead made her look radiant and full of energy.

Shen Qiqi felt Lu Qing's gaze, her heart warmed, and a happy smile unconsciously appeared on the corner of her mouth.

She quickened her movements, as if she had endless energy.

As night falls, the two squares are brightly lit, radiating an unprecedented brilliance.

Everything is ready, just waiting for the official start of the event tomorrow.

Shen Qiqi and Lu Qing stood in the center of the square, looking at everything in front of them, their hearts filled with anticipation and joy.

Lu Qing held Shen Qiqi's hand tightly and said affectionately: "Qiqi, thank you..."

Shen Qiqi held his hand back and was about to speak when suddenly a loud noise came from the distance...

The noise grew closer, mingled with harsh arguments.

Shen Qiqi and Lu Qing looked at each other, their hearts tightened, and they quickly walked towards the source of the sound.

At the edge of the square, several villagers were surrounding Uncle Zhao and Aunt Qian, both of them were flushed and spitting.

Uncle Zhao pointed at Aunt Qian's nose and roared, "Who in your village wants to cooperate with you? Get out of here and stop getting in the way!"

Aunt Qian wasn't to be outdone. She put her hands on her hips and yelled at the top of her lungs, "Who's afraid of who?! With your village being so poor, we don't even bother to cooperate with you!"

"Tsk, these two old stubborn people are making trouble again." Lu Qing said in a low voice, with a hint of helplessness in his tone.

Shen Qiqi frowned. She hated this kind of unreasonable people the most.
