However, the good times did not last long, and the villagers began to riot.

Some villagers who were instigated by Big Brother Lu expressed doubts about Shen Qiqi's plan. They whispered and discussed in low voices: "This little girl really doesn't know her place. Can the fruit trees be kept alive by her fancy methods?" "The old way is the kingly way. Young people, don't fool around!" These words pierced Shen Qiqi's heart like needles. She felt a prick of pain, but she did not back down.

Seeing this, Brother Lu showed a smug smile on his face. He said provocatively, "Look, everyone disagrees with your method. Do you still insist?"

Shen Qiqi took a deep breath, calmed herself, and answered firmly: "Brother, practice is the only criterion for testing truth. If my method doesn't work, I am willing to bear all the consequences. But if your method goes wrong, you will also be responsible!" Her words were loud and clear, as if announcing her determination to everyone.

Everyone was shocked by her aura and fell silent, and the tension in the air rose again.

At this moment, Shen Qiqi suddenly turned around, pointed to a small area in the orchard, and said, "Brother Lu, let's do an experiment with this patch of fruit trees. We'll use your old method on half of them and my new method on the other half. After a month, we'll see whose method is more effective!"

Lu Qing held Shen Qiqi's hand tightly and said firmly: "Qiqi, I support you. No matter what the result is, I will stand by your side."

Shen Qiqi glanced at Lu Qing gratefully, her heart filled with strength.

She raised her eyes, looked directly into Brother Lu's eyes, and said with a confident smile, "Brother, let's wait and see the results."

Brother Lu was shocked by her calm and firm attitude. He was at a loss for a moment and could only stand there in a daze.

The villagers also held their breath, quietly waiting for the results of the experiment.

Shen Qiqi turned around and walked towards the designated fruit tree, silently repeating in her heart: I must succeed, for our common future.

She began to carefully follow her plan and carry out meticulous maintenance. Every drop of water and every grain of fertilizer was poured with her hard work and hope.

Everything around seemed to be quiet, with only the rustling sound of the wind blowing through the fruit trees, as if accompanying this silent contest.

Shen Qiqi rolled up her sleeves and began to work swiftly. She first carefully loosened the soil around the pine cone tree to ensure that the roots could breathe.

Then, she mixed her special fertilizer with well water and evenly watered the soil.

That fertilizer was not manure water, but a "nutrient solution" that she had prepared after a long period of research. It was rich in various trace elements, which was the favorite of fruit trees.

While she was busy, she did not forget to observe the condition of the fruit trees.

The sunlight shone on her face, reflecting her focused and serious expression, making her look like a female general on the battlefield, commanding her soldiers.

Sure enough, not long after, the fruit trees that Shen Qiqi had carefully cared for began to show new vitality.

The leaves that were originally a little wilted became emerald green, like little babies who had drunk enough water and were full of energy.

The branches of the fruit trees have also become more upright, as if showing off their health to everyone.

When the villagers saw this scene, their eyes widened and they exclaimed in amazement.

They whispered to each other and talked about it. Their original suspicion of Shen Qiqi gradually turned into admiration.

"Oh my, this Qiqi girl is really good at it!"

"Yes, yes, look at these fruit trees, they are growing so vigorously!"

"It seems we have misunderstood her before. Her method is really powerful!"

Even Brother Lu, who had been opposing it, opened his eyes wide, unable to believe what he saw.

He scratched his head, his eyes full of confusion and puzzlement, as if saying: This is impossible!

This is absolutely impossible!

Shen Qiqi looked at the expressions on the villagers' faces, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a confident smile.

She held her head high and chest out, like a proud white swan, accepting the baptism of everyone's gaze.

She knew that she had successfully proved herself with her strength.

For a moment, an atmosphere of excitement spread throughout the village, and villagers ran around to tell each other and vying to watch this magical scene.

Their admiration for Shen Qiqi is like the endless torrent of a river.

Although the fruit tree maintenance is on the right track, Shen Qiqi knows in her heart that this is only the first step in a long journey.

The weather is unpredictable and no one knows what will happen tomorrow.

She looked up at the sky. The sunlight was particularly glaring today, but she had a vague feeling that a storm might be brewing...

Lu Qing walked to Shen Qiqi and said softly: "Qiqi, do you feel that today's weather..."

Shen Qiqi interrupted Lu Qing. She looked into the distance, her eyes becoming deep and solemn: "Yeah, I always feel like..."
