Shen Qiqi stood in the middle of the renovated vegetable garden, clutching a few plump seeds in her hands, as if clutching her dreams.

The freshly turned soil exudes a damp scent, mixed with morning dew, and gleams with tiny rays of light in the sunlight.

She took a deep breath and scanned the scene before her: the originally messy vegetable patch had now been planned into several neat plots, with winding paths in between, looking quite presentable.

"Qiqi, don't worry, I think your idea is great!" Lu Qing stood beside her, his broad hands gently resting on her shoulders, giving silent support.

He looked at his wife, his eyes full of trust and encouragement, as if to say: Go ahead and do it, I'm behind you.

"Hmph, I think this is another nonsense. You have messed up the vegetable garden!" Old Mrs. Lu stood aside, her hands on her hips, her brows furrowed like the Chinese character "川", a walking "I don't understand" emoticon.

She looked at the leeks and green onions that had been growing luxuriantly with heartache, but now only a bare patch of land remained. Her heart felt like a bottle of five flavors had been overturned, with all kinds of tastes, sweet, sour, bitter, spicy and salty.

"That's right, it doesn't look good at all!" Lu Qing's son also agreed, his little mouth pouting so high that you could hang an oil bottle on it.

He used to love catching grasshoppers in the vegetable garden, but now the grasshoppers have nowhere to go and his happiness is gone too!

Shen Qiqi looked at the two "old stubborn" and "little stubborn" in front of her and smiled helplessly.

She patiently explained, "Mom, this is called scientific planting! Look, I planted different vegetables separately so they wouldn't compete with each other for nutrients. Also, I left paths so we can water and fertilize them more easily. How great!"

She squatted down again and said to her son, "Honey, when these vegetables grow up, they will be more lush and beautiful than before! Then there will be more little bugs, okay?"

"Really?" A hint of curiosity flashed in the little guy's eyes.

"Of course it's true! I promise!" Shen Qiqi raised three fingers and said confidently.

Her eyes were sincere and her tone was firm, as if she had her own background music, emitting a confident glow.

Mrs. Lu and her son were still skeptical, but seeing Shen Qiqi's confident look, they didn't know what to say.

The air suddenly became quiet, with only the rustling of vegetable leaves in the breeze.

Shen Qiqi took a deep breath and was about to sow the seeds when Old Lady Lu suddenly spoke...

"Qiqi," Old Mrs. Lu was hesitant to speak, her eyes wandering, "I... I suddenly remembered..." "Qiqi," Old Mrs. Lu was hesitant to speak, her eyes wandering, "I... I suddenly remembered that there is soup stewing on the stove, I have to go back and check the heat!" After saying that, she fled from the vegetable garden.

Lu Qing's son was left behind, looking at his mother's leaving back, and then looking at Shen Qiqi. In the end, the temptation of the grasshopper overcame everything, "I'll go see if the soup is ready!" With a step of his short legs, he ran faster than a rabbit.

Shen Qiqi was left alone, disheveled in the wind.

She shook her head helplessly. These two mother and son are really mother and son. They even run away in the same way!

He had an expression that said "you're messing around" just now, but now he's running away faster than anyone else. It's such a shame he didn't go to act.

Shen Qiqi walked to the corner of the vegetable garden alone, feeling a little overwhelmed.

Although she knew that the old lady and her son had sharp tongues but soft hearts, their lack of understanding still made her sad.

She lowered her head and looked at the seeds covered with dirt in her hands. She felt just like her mood at the moment, gray and without a trace of brilliance.

Lu Qing looked at Shen Qiqi's lonely back, and his heart felt like being pricked by a needle.

He strode over to her and gently put his arm around her shoulders. "Qiqi, don't be sad. They're just not used to it. I believe you can succeed!"

Shen Qiqi raised her head and looked at Lu Qing's gentle eyes, feeling warm in her heart.

She sniffed and tried to force a smile, "Yeah, I believe it!"

The two came to the divided area, and Shen Qiqi began to sow seeds.

She skillfully dug out small holes, carefully placed the seeds in them, and then gently covered them with soil.

Lu Qing was also helping, and the two of them cooperated tacitly, as if they were performing a sacred ritual.

"Qiqi, I often played in the vegetable garden when I was a child," Lu Qing recalled while sowing seeds. "Back then, my favorite thing was..."

While Lu Qing was sowing seeds, he told Shen Qiqi interesting stories about his childhood in the vegetable garden.

His eyes were full of tenderness, as if those memories were the most precious treasures in the world.

"At that time, I was like a little mud monkey, running around in the garden, and even trampled on several vegetable seedlings that grandpa had just planted." Lu Qing had a smile on his face, and his voice was full of nostalgia.

Shen Qiqi listened with sparkling eyes, and laughed out loud from time to time. Happiness was like the fragrance of the soil in the vegetable garden, faintly spreading around the two of them.

The sowing work was completed smoothly in this warm atmosphere.

As the days passed, Shen Qiqi carefully took care of the vegetable garden every day.

Finally, the new seeds lived up to expectations and soon several of them sprouted.

The tender green sprouts broke through the soil, like little heads looking at the world curiously.

When Shen Qiqi came to water the plants early in the morning and saw this scene, her eyes widened with excitement.

Her face was filled with irrepressible joy, and her smile was brighter than the morning sunshine.

Lu Qing also saw it, and his eyes were full of surprise.

"Qiqi, look, how well they are growing!" His voice was filled with excitement.

This excited atmosphere spread quickly in the family like a gust of wind.
