Lu Qing came forward and carefully observed the "results" of Shen Qiqi's research.
"Will this...will this thing work?" he asked uncertainly.
Shen Qiqi smiled mysteriously and did not answer directly. Instead, she put a handful of "fertilizer" into a flowerpot filled with soil and buried a seed in it.
"Just wait and see." Shen Qiqi's mouth corners slightly raised,
Shen Qiqi, like an "old Chinese medicine practitioner", observes the seeds in the flowerpots every day.
On the first day, nothing happened. On the second day, still nothing happened. On the third day…
Still no movement!
Lu Qing was so anxious that he almost jumped up and down, and he wanted to dig out the seeds to see if they were "asleep".
Shen Qiqi was very calm, humming a little tune while watering the seeds. She looked as if she was raising some "rare treasure".
Finally, on the morning of the fourth day, a miracle happened!
A tender green sprout emerged from the flowerpot, like a shy little girl, looking around the world curiously.
Shen Qiqi was so excited that she almost jumped up, hugged Lu Qing, and kissed him hard on the face.
"It's done! It's done! Lu Qing, did you see it? It's sprouted!" Shen Qiqi was as excited as a "nouveau riche" who won the lottery, and she couldn't wait to tell the world.
Lu Qing was also very excited. Looking at the tender green sprout, he felt happier than if he had won a five million dollar prize.
He hugged Shen Qiqi tightly and whispered in her ear: "Qiqi, you are so great! I knew you could do it!"
Shen Qiqi leaned in Lu Qing's arms, a happy smile on her face.
At this moment, she felt like a "queen who conquered the world", extremely proud and proud.
Next, Shen Qiqi began mass production of her "unique secret recipe" fertilizer.
She and Lu Qing worked like two "hard-working little bees" in the back mountain for several days and finally produced enough fertilizer.
They spread the fertilizer evenly on the orchard soil and then carefully planted the fruit tree seedlings.
Watching the fruit tree saplings swaying gently in the breeze, Shen Qiqi and Lu Qing's hearts were filled with hope.
"Qiqi, do you think these fruit tree seedlings will be able to bear fruit next year?" Lu Qing looked at Shen Qiqi.
Shen Qiqi smiled mysteriously, pointed at the setting sun in the distance and said, "Just wait and see..."
Time flies like an arrow, whoosh whoosh it goes by.
In the blink of an eye, spring has arrived, all things are revived, and the scene is full of vitality.
In the Lu family's orchard, the fruit tree seedlings seemed to be full of vigor, growing rapidly, with lush green branches and leaves, which made people feel happy just by looking at them.
Shen Qiqi and Lu Qing looked at these thriving fruit tree seedlings, and their hearts were filled with joy!
They would come to the orchard for a stroll from time to time, just like looking at their own children, with love in their eyes.
Shen Qiqi also watered and fertilized the fruit tree seedlings from time to time. She was so attentive that she was even more considerate than taking care of her own son.
"Qiqi, look how well these fruit tree seedlings are growing!" Lu Qing said excitedly, pointing at the lush green leaves. "They will definitely produce a lot of fruit next year!"
"Of course!" Shen Qiqi patted her chest confidently, "Don't you even look at who planted it!"
The two stood in the orchard, looking at the thriving fruit tree seedlings, as if they had already seen the scene of abundant fruits next year.
Their faces were filled with happy smiles, like two nouveau riche who had won a five million dollar prize and couldn't wait to tell the world.
That day, Shen Qiqi and Lu Qing came to the orchard for inspection again.
While admiring the growth of the fruit saplings, they looked forward to a better life in the future.
"Lu Qing, how much fruit can we harvest next year?" Shen Qiqi asked while touching the leaves of the fruit tree.
"Of course, it will pile up like a mountain!" Lu Qing patted his chest and promised, "When the time comes, we will..."
Suddenly, Lu Qing stopped, his eyes fell on a leaf, and his brows furrowed.
"Qiqi, come and take a look!" Lu Qing pointed at the leaf, his tone a little nervous, "There seems to be something wrong with this leaf."
Shen Qiqi hurried forward and observed the leaf carefully.
I saw some small black spots on the leaves, as if they had been bitten by some insects.
"This..." Shen Qiqi's heart skipped a beat, and an ominous premonition came to her mind.
"Could it be a disease or pest?" Lu Qing's tone was filled with a hint of worry.
Shen Qiqi didn't say anything. She reached out and touched the leaf. It felt a little rough, not as smooth as normal leaves.
"Qiqi, what should we do?" Lu Qing looked at Shen Qiqi.
Shen Qiqi took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down.
She knew that now was not the time to panic and that a solution must be found as soon as possible.
"Let's go!" Shen Qiqi took Lu Qing's hand and said firmly, "Let's go ask the elderly in the village and see if they have any solutions."
