"Qiqi, I have an idea!" Lu Qing suddenly spoke, his eyes gleaming with excitement, "We can..."
He leaned close to Shen Qiqi's ear and whispered a few words.
Shen Qiqi's eyes widened, and finally she couldn't help but exclaimed: "Lu Qing, you are such a genius!"
"Hehe, just average, third in the world." Lu Qing scratched his head and smiled embarrassedly.
"Shh! Someone's coming!" Shen Qiqi suddenly made a gesture to keep quiet.
In the distance, a figure was walking towards them...
The person who came was Lu Ersao. She had a hypocritical smile on her face and said in a sarcastic tone, "Hey, Third Sister-in-law, what are you doing? You're so secretive. Are you up to something again?"
Shen Qiqi and Lu Qing looked at each other and understood.
This Second Sister-in-law Lu must be here to inquire about the news again.
"Second sister-in-law, what tricks can we pull? It's all for the sake of the village's fruit trees!" Shen Qiqi replied with a smile, a hint of subtle sarcasm in her tone.
Mrs. Lu smiled awkwardly, said nothing more, and turned away.
But she was secretly thinking in her heart that she must find out what Shen Qiqi and Lu Qing were up to.
In the following days, the villagers and educated youth worked together and began to conduct fruit tree grafting experiments according to Shen Qiqi and Lu Qing's plan.
Lu Qing's "genius" idea is to combine modern science and technology with soil improvement and fertilization while grafting.
This idea was affirmed by a friend from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences, and under her guidance, they successfully improved the soil and increased the survival rate of fruit trees.
A few months later, the apple trees in the experimental field produced large, red fruits that smelled fragrant and made people salivate.
"It's done! It's done! Our fruit trees are really alive!" The villagers cheered and ran around to tell each other. The whole village was immersed in joy.
The news spread to the town, county, and even the city, attracting many experts and leaders to visit and learn.
Lujia Village’s fruit tree planting experience has become a model for promotion across the country.
As a result, Shen Qiqi and Lu Qing became heroes in the village and were respected and loved by everyone.
“Qiqi, you are so amazing!” Lu Qing hugged Shen Qiqi tightly and said excitedly.
"Hehe, this is all thanks to everyone!" Shen Qiqi smiled modestly, but felt happy in her heart.
Just when everyone was immersed in the joy of the harvest, something happened that cast a shadow over this hopeful village.
The old accountant in the village suddenly fell ill with a high fever and a persistent cough.
The village barefoot doctor was helpless and could only watch the old accountant's condition become more and more serious.
"No, we have to send the old accountant to the town hospital quickly!" Village Chief Sun said anxiously.
"But it's already dark, and the mountain road is difficult to walk on..."
"Yes, and the hospital in town isn't in good condition. What if..."
The villagers were talking among themselves, their faces full of worry.
Shen Qiqi looked at this scene, her heart suddenly skipped a beat, and an ominous premonition came to her mind.
"Lu Qing..." She pulled Lu Qing's sleeve and said in a heavy tone, "I feel like something is wrong..."
