Shen Qiqi looked closely and saw that a large group of uncles and aunts from the village came in, holding pots and pans in their hands, as if they were going to "start a fight".
"What are you doing?" Lu Qing was also confused. He held Shen Qiqi's hand tightly, his eyes full of confusion.
"Auntie, what are you doing?" Shen Qiqi tried hard to force a smile, but she was complaining madly in her heart: Are we going to come for "collective retirement"?
"Qiqi, your family is going on a trip, why don't you take us with you? We can't let your family have such a good thing all by itself!" An old lady with a very loud voice, holding a chipped enamel bowl in her hand, shouted with full energy.
"Yes, yes, my family also has an old house, and I also want to open a B&B!" Another old man came up, holding a tattered abacus in his hand, which made Shen Qiqi's eyes twitch.
It turned out that the villagers had heard that the Lu family was going to develop a tourism project, so they all came to "recommend themselves".
Shen Qiqi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. The speed at which news spread was comparable to the speed of light!
Shen Qiqi's eyes rolled and a plan came to her mind.
She cleared her throat and raised her voice like a seasoned salesperson: "Dear uncles and aunts, I can see your enthusiasm. This tourism project is definitely more interesting if everyone participates together! So, let me first tell you about the specific plan. If everyone thinks it's feasible, we can do it together!"
In the next few days, Shen Qiqi was very busy, planning and designing, running through the formalities, and comforting the "crying" villagers in the village.
Fortunately, with the help of Director Liu from the County Civil Affairs Bureau, everything went smoothly.
A few months later, the Lu family courtyard was completely renovated. The once dilapidated house was transformed into an antique homestay. The yard was full of flowers and green plants, full of vitality.
The old people sat in the yard, basking in the sun, chatting about family matters, with happy smiles on their faces.
Mrs. Lu was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling. She praised everyone she met: "My daughter-in-law is really a capable person!"
The Lu family’s satisfaction with retirement arrangements has skyrocketed, reaching over 90%.
Shen Qiqi stood in the middle of the yard, looking at everything in front of her, her heart filled with a sense of accomplishment.
She felt like a "winner in life" who led her family to the road to happiness.
Lu Qing walked to Shen Qiqi and held her hand tightly. He whispered, "Qiqi, you are really my treasure girl!"
Shen Qiqi felt Lu Qing's deep affection, and her heart was warm.
She looked up at Lu Qing, and their eyes met in the air. There was no need for words, as their feelings had already been conveyed to each other.
At this moment, a clear child's voice suddenly came from the yard: "Mom, Dad, I'm hungry!"
Shen Qiqi turned her head, a puzzled expression on her face: "This voice, it's not right..."
The Lu family courtyard has become a sea of joy at this moment!
The old people laughed so hard that the wrinkles on their faces were stretched out like blooming chrysanthemums.
Old Mrs. Lu even hugged Shen Qiqi and affectionately called her "good daughter-in-law". She was so happy and smiling, as if she had picked up a big ingot.
The eldest and second uncles also changed their usual sad expressions and happily boasted to others: "Look, our family doesn't have to worry about providing for the elderly now!"
The children were playing in the yard, their clear laughter as sweet as wind chimes, adding infinite vitality to this warm home.
Lu Qing also had a proud smile on his face. He walked to Shen Qiqi and whispered in her ear: "Qiqi, you are really my lucky star. With you around, our family is not afraid of anything!"
Shen Qiqi looked at the happy scene in front of her, and her heart was filled with emotion.
She is like a "group darling", surrounded by everyone, feeling the love and recognition from her family. This sense of satisfaction of being needed is simply too great!
In the evening, the afterglow of the setting sun shines on the yard, giving everything a golden glow.
Everyone sat together, eating a sumptuous dinner, chatting about family matters, and bursting into laughter from time to time.
The air is filled with the aroma of food and the strong smell of happiness.
While eating, Shen Qiqi looked around and found that her own courtyard was particularly beautiful in the sunset, with a unique charm.
She suddenly felt that the village’s natural scenery and cultural heritage were definitely a treasure, and it would be a waste if it was not developed!
Her heart moved, and a bold idea came to her mind.
She secretly wondered how to turn this village into a popular tourist destination and lead the villagers to prosperity.
"What's wrong, Qiqi? What are you thinking about? Your eyebrows are almost twisted into a knot." Lu Qing noticed Shen Qiqi's abnormality and asked with concern.
Shen Qiqi raised her head, her eyes gleaming with excitement: "Hubby, I have an idea, we can..."
Before she finished speaking, a childish voice suddenly rang out, interrupting her thoughts: "Mom, I don't want to play with my brother, he's too stupid!"
Shen Qiqi frowned and looked towards the source of the sound, only to see a small figure standing there with a pout and a look of grievance.
She was stunned for a moment. Why did this voice sound wrong?
