Shen Qiqi raised her head, her eyes sparkling with excitement: "Hubby, I have an idea, we can..." Before she finished her words, a childish voice suddenly rang out, interrupting her train of thought: "Mom, I don't want to play with my brother, he's too stupid!" Shen Qiqi frowned and looked at the source of the voice, only to see a small figure standing there with a pouting mouth and a look of grievance.
She was stunned for a moment. Why did this voice sound wrong?
Lu Qing was also stunned for a moment, then she coaxed the child: "Xiaobao, stop making trouble, Mommy has something important to discuss with you." Xiaobao grumbled a few words in dissatisfaction, but still sat back in the chair obediently and continued to fiddle with his little toys.
After dinner, Shen Qiqi did not rest immediately. She brought Lu Qing to the yard and said excitedly: "Qing, I want to build our village into a tourist destination so that the villagers can live a good life!" Her eyes were full of determination and expectation.
Lu Qing was moved after hearing this: "Qiqi, this sounds like a good idea, but you know, the villagers are relatively conservative and it takes time for them to accept new things." Shen Qiqi smiled, with a sly glint in her eyes: "That's why I have to start by changing their mindset!"
The next morning, Shen Qiqi started to get busy.
She posted many other pictures of successful rural tourism development cases around the village. Each picture showed the beautiful natural scenery and the happy smiles of the villagers.
She posted it seriously, and her focused expression showed her determination.
An atmosphere of curiosity gradually spread in the village, and villagers gathered in groups of three or four, talking about it.
"Look, what is this?" "It looks like some photos of tourist attractions." "Can our village become like this?" Everyone was talking about these beautiful pictures.
However, discordant voices also emerged.
After seeing these pictures, Villager Liu still had that disdainful expression on his face.
He walked over and tore up the picture angrily in front of Shen Qiqi: "You little girl, don't try to do anything here! Our village should be peaceful and quiet. These fancy things of yours will only harm everyone!"
Shen Qiqi felt a surge of anger, and anger was written all over her face.
She took a deep breath, calmed down, and decided to prove it to these people with her actions.
She stood aside, her eyes firm as she said, "Uncle Liu, I understand your concerns, but I believe that as long as we work together, we can definitely change this village and make it a better place!"
Villager Liu snorted and turned away, but Shen Qiqi did not give up.
She looked at the photo in her hand and became more determined.
She knew that this was just the beginning and there would be many difficulties to overcome.
She walked a few steps to the door of the village chief's house, took a deep breath, and knocked gently...
The door creaked open, and Village Chief Sun poked his head out, looking at Shen Qiqi with a questioning look on his face: "Qiqi, what's the matter with you looking for me so early?" Shen Qiqi smiled and said, "Village Chief, I have a plan, and I'd like you to listen to it." Her words were full of confidence and expectation, as if she had already seen hope for the future.
After listening to Shen Qiqi's grand blueprint, Village Chief Sun frowned so hard that he could kill a fly. He took a puff of his pipe, and in the smoke, his tone was full of unquestionable rejection: "Qiqi, your idea is good, but how can it be so easy to develop tourism? If you lose money, who will be responsible? I, an old man, can't afford this risk." He waved his hand with an expression that said, "Forget it," as if Shen Qiqi's plan was a fantasy.
Shen Qiqi looked at Village Chief Sun with an expression that said "stop it, kid," and the little flame in her heart was instantly extinguished. She took a deep breath, trying to suppress the emotions churning in her chest, but a stiff smile appeared at the corner of her mouth. She felt like a rookie who had been ruthlessly hit by reality. The ambition she had just had instantly shrunk into a pitiful puddle. She sighed, turned and left, her back full of "baby's heart is bitter" written all over her.
The oppressive atmosphere was like an invisible net, tightly wrapping Shen Qiqi, making her feel suffocated.
But she is not the kind of soft persimmon who gives up easily!
After returning home, she began to carefully prepare a speech on the "benefits of rural tourism development". She knew that it was useless to just talk, and she had to come up with practical results to make these old stubborn people understand!
The next day, in the village committee compound, Shen Qiqi stood on a makeshift podium, took a deep breath, cleared her throat, and began her "passionate speech."
She used vivid examples to describe in detail the huge economic benefits that tourism development can bring to the village. Her passionate words were like a shot of adrenaline, injected into the hearts of the villagers present.
"My fellow villagers, think about it. When tourists come, our agricultural products can be sold at a good price, our houses can be turned into B&Bs, and our descendants will have the opportunity to leave the mountains and live a better life!" Her voice was sonorous and powerful, and every word struck the hearts of the villagers.
At first, the villagers were skeptical and puzzled, but as Shen Qiqi's speech progressed, many people's eyes began to sparkle with anticipation and longing.
Even a few old ladies began to murmur, "It seems... it's not impossible?" "Yes, what this little girl said makes sense." Although Villager Liu still had a cold face, his clenched fists revealed that he was wavering in his heart.
Shen Qiqi was sitting on the podium, her eyes firm as she slowly looked around at the people below, a barely perceptible smile on her lips.
She was about to continue her in-depth analysis when a harsh voice suddenly interrupted her, "What you said sounds good, but if you lose money at that time, who will be responsible?..." Shen Qiqi looked in the direction of the voice and saw that it was Uncle Lu.
