Lu Qing looked at the renewed glow on Shen Qiqi's face, his eyes filled with tenderness and approval. He whispered in her ear, "You are very smart."
Lu Qing whispered in her ear, "You are very smart." The gentle voice, full of praise, flowed into Shen Qiqi's heart like a warm current.
A warm atmosphere permeated between the two of them, and the air seemed to be filled with pink bubbles.
Shen Qiqi felt warm in her heart and looked at Lu Qing gratefully. This man is really getting better and better!
A thought suddenly flashed through Shen Qiqi's mind, as fast as surfing the 5G network.
Her eyes lit up and a plan came to her mind!
Instead of asking them one by one, why not let them brainstorm with each other?
This group of elderly people might be able to unleash amazing energy with the added bonus of their collective memories!
"Everyone!" Shen Qiqi cleared her throat and raised her voice, instantly attracting everyone's attention. "Why don't we talk about the past and brainstorm!"
As soon as this suggestion was made, the old people became interested.
Sharing memories with each other?
This is a fresh way to play!
An atmosphere of curiosity sizzled among the crowd like an electric current.
"Oh, that's a good idea! Let's all think about it together, maybe we can come up with something!" An old lady wearing reading glasses said excitedly, her tone as if she had discovered a new world.
"That's right! I have a bad memory, but Old Zhang has a good memory. He must know it!" Another old man said, pointing to a white-haired old man next to him.
When Old Zhang heard this, he straightened his back and said proudly, "That's right! Back then..."
For a moment, the activity center was as lively as a boiling pot. The old people opened their mouths and started chatting. All kinds of old stories and gossips came out like beans.
Shen Qiqi and Lu Qing exchanged a glance, each seeing surprise and anticipation in the other's eyes. It worked!
"Wait," an old lady suddenly raised her hand with a serious expression, "I seem to... remember something..." The activity center instantly switched to a "large-scale reminiscence scene", and the memory gates of the elderly were completely opened, and all kinds of "old stories" and "prehistoric stories" emerged one after another.
Things like "Zhang's kid stealing chickens and dogs", "Li's wife's bloody gossip", and even old embarrassing stories like "Uncle Wang wet the bed when he was a child" were dug up. It was simply a large-scale "social death" scene.
Shen Qiqi was grinning from ear to ear as she frantically took notes, her hand speed so fast that it seemed like she had special effects, for fear of missing any key information.
She felt like an archaeologist, digging for treasures in the dust of history. This feeling was simply too great!
"Oh, I remember now. The village once held a 'martial arts competition to win a bride'!" An old man slapped his thigh excitedly, his voice cracking.
"What? A martial arts competition to win a bride? So exciting?" Shen Qiqi almost threw the pen away. This amount of information was too much!
"That's right, the scene was full of loud gongs and drums, firecrackers, and a sea of people!" Another old lady described it vividly, as if she had returned to those passionate years.
The old people became more and more excited as they talked, and the atmosphere became more and more lively, comparable to a large-scale disco scene.
Shen Qiqi felt as if she was in a huge information vortex, surrounded by all kinds of strange and interesting stories. She felt that her brain capacity was almost not enough.
"Wait, I seem to have remembered something important!" An old man who usually doesn't talk much suddenly raised his hand, attracting everyone's attention.
"Old Wang, what did you think of now? Tell us quickly!" Everyone urged impatiently.
Old Wang cleared his throat and said slowly, "Back then, there was a mysterious disappearance in the village. It caused quite a stir at the time and was quite scary..."
"Mysterious disappearance case?!" Shen Qiqi felt like she had eaten the "king of melons", each melon more explosive than the last!
Shen Qiqi quickly recorded this precious information. She felt that she was one step closer to her goal of compiling the village history.
She looked at the smiles on the faces of the elderly and felt a sense of accomplishment in her heart.
These old people are simply a treasure!
However, after the joy, Shen Qiqi quickly realized a problem.
With this information, someone still needs to organize it and turn it into text.
Anyone in the village who can write and calculate can count on their fingers. What should we do?
"Lu Qing, what do you think... should we..." Shen Qiqi looked at Lu Qing and was about to express her thoughts.
"Let's go, let's go to the school first." Lu Qing raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and took the first step, leaving only a meaningful word in the air.
