Shen Qiqi quietly approached, pricked up her ears and listened, only then did she realize that the tourists were complaining about the newly built pavilion.
"This pavilion doesn't look as sturdy as my doghouse!" an old lady wearing a sun hat said with disgust.
"That's right. It sways so much when the wind blows that I don't dare sit on it." Another tourist echoed.
Shen Qiqi's heart skipped a beat and she felt half disappointed.
She walked quickly to the pavilion and examined it carefully.
With a gentle push, the pavilion began to shake violently, and the wood of the pillars looked a little thin.
A chill ran up from the soles of my feet. This pavilion was built by the villagers at great expense!
Shen Qiqi frowned, took out her phone, took a few photos, and recorded the questions in a small notebook.
She walked around the pavilion several times, like a detective, not missing any details.
Sweat dripped down her temples, but she didn't notice it at all. Her eyes were only focused on the various problems in the pavilion.
The air around her seemed to freeze, with only the sound of her quickly flipping through the notebook and the rustling sound of the pen tip rubbing against the paper.
"Qiqi, what's wrong?" Lu Qing saw that her face looked strange and walked over.
Shen Qiqi briefly explained the situation, and Lu Qing's expression became solemn.
"This is no small matter. We need to resolve it quickly." Lu Qing pondered for a moment, "I'll go discuss it with the village chief first."
After finding Village Chief Sun and explaining the situation, Village Chief Sun frowned and waved his hands repeatedly.
"Qiqi, this pavilion has just been built, and now we need to renovate it. This will cost a lot of money! The village's funds are already tight..."
"But village chief, the safety of this pavilion cannot be ignored! If something happens, who will be responsible?" Shen Qiqi said anxiously.
"I know, I know," Village Chief Sun rubbed his hands, "but where is the money going to come from?"
Shen Qiqi was speechless for a moment, as if a big stone was blocking her heart.
Seeing that the tourism project had just started but encountered funding difficulties, she felt extremely helpless.
"How about... I think of a solution myself first?" Shen Qiqi bit her lip, her eyes falling on the children playing in the distance. An idea flashed through her mind...
Shen Qiqi rolled up her sleeves, revealing her slender yet powerful arms.
She is not some delicate young lady, so she can do some work without any problem!
"It's just building a pavilion. I can do it myself!" She said in a firm tone, as if she contained infinite energy.
The sun was blazing brightly in the sky, and Shen Qiqi's figure looked particularly thin in the sunlight.
She held a hammer in one hand and a nail in the other, hammering clumsily, her clothes soaked with sweat and glistening in the sun.
She stopped from time to time, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and then continued to work hard.
The surrounding villagers were stunned. They didn't expect that this seemingly weak woman had such perseverance.
"Oh, Qiqi, this job is no joke. You're a girl..." an aunt said with concern.
Shen Qiqi raised her head and smiled brightly: "It's okay, auntie, I can handle it!"
Lu Qing stood in the distance, watching Shen Qiqi's busy figure, feeling mixed emotions.
He wanted to persuade her not to work so hard, but seeing her determined eyes, he knew that it was useless for him to say anything.
He sighed silently, turned and walked towards the village committee.
"Village chief, please think about this pavilion matter again." Lu Qing's tone was calm, but with unquestionable firmness.
Village Chief Sun raised his head and looked at Lu Qing in surprise: "Lu Qing, this...this money..."
"I'll figure out the money issue." Lu Qing interrupted Village Chief Sun. "Qiqi has already invested so much in the village's tourism project. We can't let her shoulder the burden alone."
The atmosphere in the village committee froze instantly, and everyone looked at Lu Qing in surprise, as if they were meeting him for the first time.
Village Chief Sun was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "Lu Qing, you have changed."
Lu Qing didn't say anything, but just looked at Village Chief Sun quietly.
He knew that his change was for Chen Qiqi and for the village he loved deeply.
"Knock knock knock..." The sound of knocking on the door broke the silence.
"Who is it?" Village Chief Sun asked impatiently.
"It's me." A strange voice came from outside the door, "I want to talk to you about donating supplies..."
Shen Qiqi's mind suddenly lit up, and she immediately took out her cell phone and started contacting some charitable organizations she had known before.
It’s true, there are actually several organizations interested in rural tourism support projects!
On the other end of the phone, the head of the charity organization readily agreed to donate a batch of wood and paint, enough to renovate the pavilion and even have some left over!
Shen Qiqi hung up the phone, spun around in excitement, and almost jumped up.
"It's done! It's done!" She said to Lu Qing excitedly, her eyes shining like stars in the night sky.
The surrounding villagers also gathered around, and when they heard the good news, they all smiled happily.
The aunt who felt sorry for Shen Qiqi before excitedly held her hand: "Qiqi, you are really the lucky star of our village!"
Shen Qiqi smiled embarrassedly, but felt happy in her heart.
She quickly finalized the donation details with the charity organization and arranged the time and place to receive the supplies.
The efficiency was so high that even Village Chief Sun couldn't help but give a thumbs up: "Qiqi's efficiency is amazing!"
New wood and paint were soon delivered to the village, and Shen Qiqi and Lu Qing led the villagers to start renovating the pavilion.
The two of them cooperated well, one handed the tools while the other worked, and they smiled at each other from time to time. A sweet atmosphere filled the air.
