"You must be Lu Qing and Shen Qiqi, right? I've been waiting for you for a long time!" The man put down his book, pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose, and showed a kind smile. That smile made him look like an insurance salesman no matter how you looked at it.
"Uh, who are you?" Shen Qiqi blinked her big eyes, and the curious baby mode instantly came online.
"I'm from the town's Agricultural Science Station. My last name is Wu. I've come here to give you some 'treasures'." Station Officer Wu smiled and pulled out a few packets of seeds from his old briefcase. "These are newly cultivated, high-quality varieties. The yield is absolutely amazing."
When Shen Qiqi heard the word "good seeds", her eyes lit up, as if she had seen a gold bar. She couldn't wait to take the seeds. Her hands felt heavy, and her heart felt heavy too.
Looking at his wife's excitement, Lu Qing couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth. This little money-loving girl was so adorable.
"Stationmaster Wu, how do we plant these new seeds? Is there anything special we should pay attention to?" Shen Qiqi's face was full of curiosity, as if she was back in elementary school.
Station Officer Wu cleared his throat and began to explain incessantly, from the depth of sowing to the techniques of fertilizing. He spoke clearly and logically. Shen Qiqi listened with great interest, as if the door to a new world had been opened.
Lu Qing was silently taking note of the key points, afraid of missing a single word.
After some conversation, Shen Qiqi learned that this new seed not only has a high yield, but also has strong resistance to diseases and pests. It is simply a "fighter" in the farmland!
The hope in her heart grew like weeds, and she couldn't wait to go to the field and try it out.
The next day, Shen Qiqi couldn't wait to drag Lu Qing to the village entrance and found Uncle Zhou basking in the sun.
"Uncle Zhou, let me tell you, I got some new seeds, they're amazing!" Shen Qiqi excitedly shared her new discovery, but Uncle Zhou didn't even raise his eyelids.
"New seeds? Humph, I've been farming my whole life, I've seen it all." Grandpa Zhou crossed his arms, a look of "are you kidding me?" "You little girl, what do you know about farming? Stop messing around, just farm peacefully, that's the right way!"
Looking at Uncle Zhou's stubborn attitude, Shen Qiqi suddenly felt as if she was talking to a stubborn stone.
She took a deep breath and patiently explained, "Uncle Zhou, this new seed is really different. The yield will definitely be high. Just listen to me and give it a try!"
Uncle Zhou continued to shake his head, muttering things like "nonsense" and "unreliable". His conservative aura was almost overflowing from the screen.
Lu Qing looked at Shen Qiqi's eyes that refused to give up, and felt both proud and distressed.
He knew that his Qiqi would never give up easily on something she had decided on.
"No, I have to go see how powerful this new seed is!" Shen Qiqi said firmly, turning around and walking towards the fields in the village.
Lu Qing hurried to catch up, and the two of them stretched out in the rising sun.
Shen Qiqi plunged into the field, looking so serious as if she was looking for treasure.
She squatted down, grabbed a handful of soil with her hands, put it under her nose and smelled it, then she twisted up the soil and carefully observed the texture of the soil.
Lu Qing stood on the edge of the field and couldn't help laughing when he saw his wife like this.
"Qiqi, are you looking for treasure?" Lu Qing joked.
Shen Qiqi raised her head and winked playfully: "Maybe we can really find a treasure!" As she said that, she lowered her head to study it again.
Suddenly, her eyes lit up, as if she had discovered something extraordinary.
"Lu Qing, come and see!" Shen Qiqi waved at Lu Qing excitedly.
Lu Qing walked over and saw that Shen Qiqi was holding a black object in her hand, which gave off a faint smell of decay.
"What's this?"
"This is wood ash! It can improve soil fertility!" Shen Qiqi explained, her face filled with the joy of discovering a new world.
She squeezed the wood ash in her hand, feeling its delicate touch, and a strong premonition surged in her heart - this thing was the key to increasing her grain production!
Lu Qing looked at Shen Qiqi's sparkling eyes, his heart full of admiration.
"Qiqi, you are amazing! You can even notice such subtle things!" He praised generously, his tone full of pampering.
Shen Qiqi raised her chin proudly, a bright smile on her face.
"Of course, don't you see who I am?"
The two of them stayed in the fields for a while, and Shen Qiqi suddenly remembered the seed station.
"Oops, I almost forgot something! We need to go to the seed station and ask for new seeds!"
"Come on, I'll go with you." Lu Qing looked at Shen Qiqi tenderly, his eyes full of love.
The two walked hand in hand along the country road.
The sun shines on them, making them feel warm, and the breeze brings the fragrance of flowers.
Shen Qiqi looked up at Lu Qing from time to time, and the corners of her mouth rose unconsciously.
Lu Qing also lowered his head to look at Shen Qiqi, his eyes so gentle that they could drip water.
"Lu Qing, do you think we can succeed?" Shen Qiqi leaned on Lu Qing's shoulder and asked softly.
"Of course! I'm here!" Lu Qing's tone was firm, giving Shen Qiqi a full sense of security.
Shen Qiqi's heart was filled with happiness, as if she owned the whole world.
When we arrived at the seed station, Station Officer Wu was sitting at the table, holding a book in his hand and reading it with great interest.
Hearing footsteps, he raised his head, pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose, and said expressionlessly: "Are you here to buy new seeds?"
"Yes, Station Master Wu! We want to buy some new seeds to try." Shen Qiqi said excitedly, as if looking forward to an adventure.
