Shen Qiqi and Lu Qing stood at the door of Uncle Wang's house, the atmosphere was as heavy as solidified paste.

Uncle Wang's low adobe house cast a long shadow in the afterglow of the setting sun, as if foreshadowing the direction of events to come.

Shen Qiqi frowned, her fingers tapping her trouser legs unconsciously, again and again, like a rhythmic war drum, beating on Lu Qing's heart.

Lu Qing looked at her thinking seriously, and a ripple appeared in his heart.

He knew that Qiqi was planning another big move.

This girl has a lot of clever ideas and can always come up with some unexpected methods, making people love and hate her.

"Ahem..." Shen Qiqi cleared her throat, breaking the eerie silence.

"Old Wang, are you at home?" She shouted at the top of her voice. Her voice was clear, but with a barely perceptible hint of teasing.

There was a "grunting" sound coming from inside the house, like an old smoker puffing on tobacco vigorously.

Then, Uncle Wang's wrinkled old face appeared at the door, like a withered chrysanthemum, full of impatience.

"What are you doing? You two little bastards are here again, what are you up to again?"

His voice was rough, like sandpaper scratching against glass, harsh and unpleasant.

Those turbid eyes, like two dusty beads, stared at Shen Qiqi and Lu Qing intently, full of hostility.

"Oh, Uncle Wang, what you said is just because we care about you!" Shen Qiqi greeted him with a smile on her face, as if she didn't hear Uncle Wang's harsh words.

"Look how lively the village is now! Everyone is so happy. Why are you bored at home all by yourself?"

"Hmph! Lively? I think it's just nonsense! A bunch of idlers!" Uncle Wang snorted heavily and spat a mouthful of thick phlegm on the ground, splashing a small dust flower.

Shen Qiqi and Lu Qing looked at each other. This old stubborn man really wouldn't budge!

"Uncle Wang, please don't say that. Times are progressing, and we can't always stick to the old ways!" Lu Qing stepped forward and tried to persuade Uncle Wang.

"Progress? I think it's regression! Back then..." Uncle Wang was about to start his long speech when Shen Qiqi suddenly interrupted him.

"Uncle Wang, if you think that our cultural and entertainment activities are not good, then tell me, what is the good way?" Shen Qiqi narrowed her eyes, with a hint of provocation in her tone.

Lu Qing looked at Shen Qiqi's expression of "Just say it, I'll continue", and secretly said in his heart that something was wrong.

This girl is causing trouble again!

"I..." Uncle Wang was speechless when Shen Qiqi asked him this.

He opened his mouth, but no words came out for a long time.

"Uncle Wang, you can't... explain it clearly, right?" Shen Qiqi raised a sly smile at the corner of her mouth, and a gleam of light flashed in her eyes.

"Who... who said I can't say it!" Uncle Wang's face turned red, and he roared angrily like a cat whose tail was stepped on.

Shen Qiqi and Lu Qing exchanged a look. This game had just begun...

"Then tell me..." Shen Qiqi dragged out the last word, staring at Uncle Wang with burning eyes.

Uncle Wang was speechless after being scolded by Shen Qiqi, and his old face turned red like a purple eggplant.

The villagers who were watching the excitement around began to whisper, and the few people who originally supported Shen Qiqi in organizing cultural and entertainment activities also looked hesitant, and the atmosphere was a little subtle for a while.

"Qiqi, forget it..." someone in the crowd whispered, "Uncle Wang is old, don't bother with him."

Shen Qiqi's heart sank, and a feeling of powerlessness surged in her heart.

She took a deep breath and tried to suppress the disappointment in her heart.

Do I really have to give up?

Lu Qing noticed Shen Qiqi's mood change, gently held her hand, and gave her an encouraging look.

"Don't lose heart, we'll think of another way."

Shen Qiqi forced a smile, but it was uglier than crying.

"I know, but..." She paused, looked around, and saw many numb and indifferent faces, feeling mixed emotions.

She did not continue to argue with Uncle Wang, but turned to look at the wavering villagers.

"I know everyone is a little resistant to new things, it's normal." Shen Qiqi paused, her tone becoming firm, "But seeing is believing. Why don't we go to the neighboring village and see how they carry out cultural and entertainment activities? After seeing it, it won't be too late for everyone to make a decision."

When these words were spoken, everyone was shocked.

Neighboring village?

That is a famous "advanced village". Their cultural and entertainment activities are very popular. I heard that even county leaders have visited it.

Uncle Wang snorted coldly, "Go ahead. Do you think I'm afraid of you? Don't let them outshine you and bring shame to our village!"

Several other conservative villagers also nodded.

Lu Qing looked at Shen Qiqi with admiration in his eyes. This girl always managed to win by surprise.

The corners of Shen Qiqi's mouth rose slightly, revealing a confident smile.

"Then it's settled. We'll set off tomorrow morning!"

The next morning, the group set off for the neighboring village in a mighty procession.

Along the way, the conservative villagers were silent, with confusion written all over their faces.

"When you get to the neighboring village, you must take a good look around and don't just stand there stupidly." Uncle Wang said sarcastically.

Shen Qiqi ignored his sarcasm and just quickened her pace silently, as if she couldn't wait to see the entertainment spectacle in the neighboring village.
