The villagers and educated youth continued to discuss tomorrow's plans lively. Shen Qiqi and Lu Qing smiled at each other and stood quietly aside, enjoying this rare moment of tranquility and harmony.
As the night deepens, the lights in the village gradually light up, and the warm light shines on everyone's face, as if foreshadowing a beautiful tomorrow.
"Qiqi, let's go to the orchard together tomorrow. I have a new idea." Lu Qing said softly, with anticipation in his eyes.
Shen Qiqi nodded, her heart filled with warmth and hope.
The next morning, the sun shone on the earth and the air was filled with the fragrance of earth.
The villagers and educated youth gathered at the village entrance early and started their respective work according to the arrangements made the day before.
In the fields, hoes are waving, laughter is heard, and it is a busy scene.
Aunt Wang and Zhao Zhiqing miraculously formed a team. They chatted while working, and the atmosphere was unexpectedly harmonious.
"Captain Zhao, you wield the hoe quite well!" Aunt Wang said with a smile, a hint of sarcasm in her tone.
Zhao Zhiqing scratched his head sheepishly. "Auntie Wang, you're too kind. I'm just learning and applying it right now."
"Oh, very good, young people learn quickly!" Aunt Wang patted Zhao Zhiqing's shoulder happily, as if the estrangement of many years had disappeared at this moment.

"Qiqi, look how well this apple tree is growing. It will surely produce a lot of fruit next year." Lu Qing pointed to a lush apple tree in front of him, his tone full of joy.
Shen Qiqi nodded, her eyes full of anticipation: "Yes, then we can eat fresh apples."
In the evening, after finishing their work, the villagers and educated youth returned to the village one after another, their faces filled with satisfied smiles.
This time the distribution of labor went surprisingly smoothly. It not only improved efficiency, but also enhanced the relationship between the villagers and the educated youth. Everyone praised Shen Qiqi's "distribution according to work" plan.
Shen Qiqi and Lu Qing smiled at each other, a feeling of pride rising in their hearts, and a relaxed atmosphere spread in the village.
"Qiqi, I think we can still do it..." Lu Qing suddenly spoke, but before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by a burst of noise.
"What's the point of learning to read and write? It's better to do more work!"
"That's right, our ancestors have lived this way for generations, and we've never seen anyone starve to death!"
Shen Qiqi and Lu Qing looked at each other, and a sense of foreboding arose in their hearts.
It seems that new challenges are coming.
