Before he could finish, Shen Qiqi jumped up excitedly, hugged Lu Qing's arm, and cheered: "Lu Qing, that's great! We have hope!" Her joy was like sunshine, instantly dispelling all the previous haze.
Lu Qing looked at her like a child, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised. He gently touched Shen Qiqi's head and said softly, "Slow down, don't fall."
Only then did Shen Qiqi realize that she was too excited. Her cheeks flushed slightly, and she lowered her head embarrassedly, not daring to look into Lu Qing's eyes.
The old farmer looked at the pink bubbles between the two and laughed, "Young people, what a sweet relationship! But if you want to find fruit tree seedlings, you'd better hurry..."
Before the old farmer finished speaking, Shen Qiqi couldn't wait to ask: "Uncle, what do you say, what should we do now?"
The old farmer smiled mysteriously and pointed outside the village: "If you want to know the secret of the fruit tree seedlings, go to Old Man Wang's house at the village entrance tomorrow morning..."
Following the old farmer's instructions, Shen Qiqi and Lu Qing arrived at Old Man Wang's house at the entrance of the village early the next morning.
Old Man Wang is a well-known "fruit tree expert". It is said that all the fruit trees that have passed through his care will survive.
Old Man Wang’s house is not big, but the yard is full of various fruit trees, and the air is filled with tempting fruit fragrance.
Shen Qiqi took a deep breath and felt refreshed.
After explaining the purpose of our visit, Old Man Wang stroked his beard and said with a smile, "You've come at the right time. I've just cultivated a batch of new varieties of fruit tree seedlings. I guarantee they're of good quality and reasonably priced."
When Shen Qiqi heard this, her eyes lit up and she quickly asked, "What varieties are there?"
Old Man Wang led them to the backyard and pointed to a patch of lush green saplings. He said, "Here we have apples, pears, peaches, apricots... all kinds of them. Take your pick."
Shen Qiqi and Lu Qing carefully selected each sapling, and each sapling was full of vitality and vigor, as if foreshadowing a good harvest in the future.
"How much are these seedlings going to cost?" Shen Qiqi asked impatiently.
"It's not expensive. It's much cheaper than the Chen Ba Pi in town." Old Man Wang said with a smile, "If you buy more, I can give you a discount."
Shen Qiqi and Lu Qing smiled at each other, their hearts filled with joy. This price is simply too good!
The two men carefully selected and bought a large number of fruit tree seedlings, filling up an entire car.
Looking at these hopeful saplings, their hearts were filled with joy and anticipation.
On the way back, the sun was shining, the breeze was blowing, and everything seemed so beautiful.
Shen Qiqi hummed a little tune, feeling happy.
"Lu Qing, we succeeded!" Shen Qiqi hugged Lu Qing's arm excitedly, her tone full of pride.
Lu Qing couldn't help but smile, patted the back of her hand gently, and said softly: "Yes, we succeeded."
The two were immersed in joy, but they didn't notice that there was a piece of land in front of them, with no grass growing and it was so desolate that it was frightening.
“Wait, Lu Qing, look…” Shen Qiqi pointed at the land, a hint of uneasiness in her tone.
Lu Qing followed her gaze and his expression became serious.
