At this moment, Shen Qiqi suddenly looked up into the distance, revealing a meaningful smile. She whispered to Lu Qing, "Brother Qing, look, it's getting late, everyone must be hungry." After saying that, she turned and walked back into the house, leaving behind a group of villagers looking at each other in confusion, lost in thought...
As soon as Shen Qiqi said this, it was like a magic needle that stabilized the sea, instantly stabilizing the hearts of all the villagers present.
They looked at each other, and the fierce expressions on their faces gradually disappeared, replaced by a sense of confusion and curiosity.
Shen Qiqi smiled slightly, like a spring breeze blowing across the earth, with a hint of cunning and confidence.
"If you really want to plant fruit trees, I can teach you some basics," Shen Qiqi said sincerely, her eyes shone with a hint of shrewdness. "But, as for the fruit tree seedlings, you still have to find them yourself." She paused deliberately, giving the villagers enough room for imagination, and added, "After all, it's more meaningful to plant the seedlings you've worked so hard to find, right?"
This statement was flawless. It neither directly rejected the villagers nor cleverly stifled their desire to get something for free.
The villagers looked at each other and had to admit that Shen Qiqi was not simple. She was indeed a woman who could live a prosperous life.
"Of course," Shen Qiqi added, her tone tinged with playfulness, "I can also provide you with some tips for selecting seedlings. After all, no one wants to work so hard only to end up with nothing." She paused, her eyebrows raised slightly, "But, well, there's no such thing as a free lunch in this world. Learning technology requires some sincerity, don't you agree?"
The villagers were speechless after hearing what Shen Qiqi said, but they also felt that she was right, and their little calculations began to clatter in their hearts.
Some people began to reflect on their previous behavior and felt that they had indeed gone too far.
After all, why should they be given the things that the couple worked so hard to grow for free?
Lu Qing stood beside Shen Qiqi, watching her talk freely and deftly resolve the crisis, his heart filled with love and admiration.
His Qiqi is not only smart, but also so kind that he loves her to the core.
He quietly held Shen Qiqi's hand, conveying gentle emotions with the warmth of his palm. Their eyes met, silently expressing their love for each other.
When the surrounding villagers saw how loving the couple was, they all showed envious expressions, as if the air had become sweet, and the originally tense atmosphere became relaxed and pleasant.
Shen Qiqi felt Lu Qing's tenderness, the corners of her mouth rose slightly, and the smile in the corners of her eyes deepened.
She turned and smiled at the villagers, "Okay, since everyone has no objection, let's just go home first. We can talk about it tomorrow." As she spoke, she took Lu Qing's hand and prepared to go back to the house.
Seeing this, the villagers nodded one after another, gratitude welling up in their hearts. The atmosphere, which had been tense just now, instantly became harmonious, and everyone had a smile on their face.
Lu Qing and Shen Qiqi held hands and slowly walked towards home under the afterglow of the setting sun.
At this moment, Shen Qiqi suddenly stopped and turned to look at the crowd.
After the villagers dispersed, the Lu family orchard returned to its former tranquility, with only the rustling of leaves in the breeze and a few birds singing in the distance.
Shen Qiqi and Lu Qing stood in the middle of the orchard, smiled at each other, and their hearts were filled with relief.
"Qiqi, you were so clever today!" Lu Qing couldn't help but praise, his eyes full of admiration. "You fooled those villagers away with just a few words. You're definitely my idol!"
Shen Qiqi raised her eyebrows proudly, "Of course, don't you see who I am! To deal with these minions, just sprinkle some water~"
She winked playfully, her tone full of confidence.
Lu Qing looked at her lively appearance and his heart was filled with love.
He put his arm around Shen Qiqi's shoulders and whispered in her ear, "Qiqi, you are really my lucky star!"
Shen Qiqi leaned in Lu Qing's arms, feeling his warm embrace, and a sweet smile unconsciously appeared on the corner of her mouth.
The two hugged each other quietly, enjoying this moment of tranquility and beauty.
The sunlight shines through the gaps in the leaves, casting mottled shadows and making the orchard look particularly beautiful.
The fruit saplings swayed gently in the breeze, as if singing for their happiness.
However, Shen Qiqi knew that this was only the first step in a long journey.
The road to fruit tree cultivation is still long and full of unknown challenges.
She looked up at the sky, a hint of determination flashing in her eyes, "Brother Qing, we still have a lot to do!"
Lu Qing also raised his head, his eyes full of fighting spirit, "Well, let's work together to build our own paradise!"
Just then, the sound of hurried footsteps in the distance broke the tranquility of the orchard.
A villager ran over panting, his face full of anxiety.
"Qiqi! Lu Qing! It's bad!..." He said breathlessly, with a hint of panic in his voice, "I heard... I heard..."
Shen Qiqi and Lu Qing felt nervous, having a premonition that something bad was about to happen.
They hurriedly asked, "What's wrong? What happened?"
The villager finally breathed a sigh of relief and pointed to the sky, saying, "I heard...it's going to rain heavily!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a gust of wind blew past, picking up the fallen leaves on the ground and making them fly in the air.
The sky suddenly darkened, and dark clouds gathered, as if foreshadowing the coming of a storm...
