Everyone turned around and saw the village chief walking towards them with his hands behind his back and a gloomy face...
As soon as the village chief arrived, the scene suddenly became much quieter.
His sharp eyes swept across the crowd, finally landing on Shen Qiqi and Old Li's wife.
"What's going on?"
The old lady exaggerated the story and of course, in her mouth, Shen Qiqi became an unforgivable sinner and the culprit who caused her old man to be injured.
Shen Qiqi was not in a hurry. She waited until the old lady finished speaking before she spoke slowly and explained the whole story clearly, emphasizing that Old Li was injured accidentally and it had nothing to do with others.
After listening to this, the village chief pondered for a moment and looked at Old Li's wife. "I've understood what happened to Old Li's family. Everyone is sad that Old Li was injured, but we can't put all the blame on Qiqi. Qiqi organized mutual aid for the good of everyone. She can't be blamed for this."
The old lady wanted to say something, but was stopped by the village chief with a look.
He turned to Shen Qiqi and said, "Qiqi, this incident was an accident, and it also sounded a wake-up call for everyone. When you organize activities in the future, you must pay attention to safety."
"Village chief, don't worry. I'm already considering improving the way we help each other and adding some safety measures to prevent similar things from happening again." Shen Qiqi immediately responded.
Lu Qing has been standing beside Shen Qiqi, silently giving her strength.
Feeling his warm gaze, Shen Qiqi felt a surge of warmth in her heart, and her original anxiety dissipated a lot.
The unspoken tacit understanding between the two of them was like an electric current, transmitted in the air. The surrounding villagers looked at Lu Qing and then at Shen Qiqi, with a hint of envy in their eyes.
The spectators also expressed their agreement and praised Shen Qiqi's sense of responsibility.
Seeing that the situation was hopeless, the old lady had no choice but to shut up in disappointment.
Shen Qiqi struck while the iron was hot and immediately called a meeting of the villagers to re-establish the rules of mutual assistance, increase safety measures, and clarify the division of responsibilities.
The villagers expressed satisfaction with the new rules and an atmosphere of trust was re-established.
Seeing everyone actively participating in the discussion, Shen Qiqi breathed a sigh of relief, and a feeling of relief spread in her heart.
Everything seemed to be back on track. However, in the dead of night, a dark figure quietly slipped into the Lu family...
The villagers were enthusiastic and the mutual aid activities were going on in full swing, it was so lively!
You help me hoe the fields and I help you harvest the vegetables. The whole village is like a large "friendly and mutual aid group" filled with laughter.
Shen Qiqi looked at everyone's enthusiastic faces and felt so happy in her heart. She felt like a successful "leader", leading the team to victory!
Lu Qing has become a "capable man", moving wherever he is needed, carrying bricks and cement, and is proficient in everything. He is simply a human crane!
The girls in the village couldn't help blushing and their hearts beat fast when they saw the lines of his muscles. They all exclaimed, "Qiqi really found a treasure!"
As the sun sets, the golden afterglow spreads across the earth. The villagers who have worked all day return home one after another, with satisfied smiles on their faces.
Shen Qiqi and Lu Qing also packed up their tools and prepared to go home for dinner.
The two walked side by side on the country road, the evening breeze blowing gently, bringing with it the fragrance of rice flowers.
"I'm really exhausted today!" Shen Qiqi stretched and stuck out her tongue playfully.
"That's right, I feel like I'm about to fall apart!" Lu Qing smiled and ruffled her hair, "But seeing everyone so happy, it's all worth it!"
Shen Qiqi looked up at Lu Qing, her eyes gleaming with happiness: "Well! Let's work together to make our lives better and better!"
Lu Qing smiled gently and held her hand gently.
The two smiled at each other, and everything was said without words.
When I got home, Mother Lu had already prepared dinner. The fragrant braised pork was mouth-watering.
The family sat together, eating hot meals and chatting about today's interesting things. The atmosphere was warm and harmonious.
After dinner, Shen Qiqi and Lu Qing sat in the yard to enjoy the cool breeze, looking at the starry sky and enjoying the rare tranquility.
"Let's go to the mountains to pick wild fruits tomorrow!" Shen Qiqi suggested.
"Okay!" Lu Qing agreed readily. "I heard the wild strawberries on the mountain are ripe, big and sweet!"
The two of them looked forward to a better tomorrow, their faces filled with happy smiles.
However, at this moment, a sneaky figure appeared at the entrance of the village...
The next morning, Shen Qiqi and Lu Qing got up early and prepared to go up the mountain to pick wild fruits.
However, as soon as I reached the entrance of the village, I heard several villagers whispering.
"I heard..." a villager lowered his voice, "the mutual aid activities will affect the village's harvest!"
"Is this true?" another villager said in surprise. "How is this possible?"
"I don't know either, but someone said so..."
Shen Qiqi and Lu Qing looked at each other, and an ominous premonition rose in their hearts...
