As night falls, the stars blink like naughty children.
The villagers gathered again in the courtyard of Shen Qiqi's house.
The dim light illuminates faces that are either curious or puzzled.
She stood in the middle of the yard, her clear eyes sweeping over everyone, with a barely perceptible smile on the corner of her mouth, a manifestation of confidence.
Today, she is still the most beautiful girl in the audience!
"I, Shen Qiqi, am so moved that I almost cry that everyone can come here today!" She clasped her hands together and bowed slightly to the people around her. This move made the villagers a little confused. What was this Shen family's daughter-in-law up to?
Among the crowd, the figures of Old Farmer Zhou and Uncle Lu stood out.
The two of them were like two door gods, their expressions were not very good, and they were obviously very unhappy with Shen Qiqi's "strange thing".
Old farmer Zhou put his hands behind his back, his eyes were wide open, and his beard was almost curled up, as if saying, "Let's see what you can say today!" Uncle Lu coughed from time to time, as if to remind everyone that he strongly disagreed.
Shen Qiqi saw it all and knew what was going on.
She cleared her throat and was about to start her "speech" when old farmer Zhou jumped out impatiently.
"Shen's wife, your ecological agriculture sounds fancy, but can it really work?" The old farmer Zhou's voice was loud, like a gong, making people's ears buzz.
The furrows in his wrinkles seem to speak of his dedication to traditional agriculture.
Uncle Lu also chimed in, "That's right, we've been farming all our lives, isn't it still like this? Don't make a fuss about it!" His tone was filled with deep doubt. Obviously, he felt that Shen Qiqi was "making trouble."
"Grandpa Zhou, Second Uncle, I understand what you are saying. Our traditional agriculture is indeed stable." Shen Qiqi was not in a hurry. Like an old cadre, she put her hands behind her back and said slowly, "But, we also have to think about it. Everything needs to be upgraded, right? Just like mobile phones, who still uses big brothers? Now everyone has smartphones!" Her metaphor made everyone laugh and made everyone feel that what she said was not unreasonable.
"Humph! You girl, you only know how to talk nonsense!" Old farmer Zhou was obviously choked by Shen Qiqi's "sophistry". His face flushed red. He felt that he had been abandoned by the times.
"Wrong logic? Grandpa, I'm telling you the truth!" Shen Qiqi's mouth curled up slightly, "If we fall into a pit, we can't just lie there, right? We have to think about how to jump over it, right?"
There was a determined light in her eyes
As soon as Shen Qiqi finished speaking, Villager Liu couldn't help but ask, "But what if...what if it fails?"
Shen Qiqi looked at Villager Liu, then looked at the people around him, and said slowly: "What if I said that this thing would definitely succeed?"
Everyone looked at each other and no one spoke for a while.
As for Shen Qiqi, she just smiled meaningfully, leaving a huge suspense.
Shen Qiqi's confident "it will definitely work" did not ignite the enthusiasm of the villagers as expected. Instead, it was like a small stone thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples before quickly returning to calm.
The influence of Mr. Zhou and Uncle Lu cannot be underestimated. Their doubts spread rapidly among the crowd like a virus.
"This...will this work?" a villager muttered softly, his tone full of uncertainty.
"What if it's just like what Uncle Er said, and everything goes awry? What should we do then?" Another villager echoed, his face full of worry.
The villagers who were originally eager to try now look like eggplants hit by frost, wilted.
Anxiety covered Shen Qiqi's face like a veil. She felt like a punctured balloon, slowly losing air.
The air around seemed to be frozen, so oppressive that it made people breathless.
A warm big hand gently wrapped around Shen Qiqi's hand.
She turned around and saw that it was Lu Qing.
His eyes were firm and he gave her an encouraging smile, as if to say, "Don't be afraid, I'm here." This silent comfort flowed into Shen Qiqi's heart like a warm current, gradually calming her originally flustered heart.
Taking a deep breath, Shen Qiqi's eyes rolled and a plan came to mind.
She raised the corner of her mouth, revealing a sly smile, and said loudly, "Since Grandpa Zhou and Second Uncle are so worried, why not... have you two personally supervise my experimental field!"
"What?!" Old farmer Zhou widened his eyes, as if he had heard something incredible.
"Let me... supervise you?" Uncle Lu was also stunned, pointing at his nose with an expression of disbelief.
The villagers were in an uproar, whispering and talking to each other.
"What's this Shen family's daughter-in-law up to?"
"Letting Old Farmer Zhou and Uncle Lu supervise? What are they trying to do?"
"It's going to be a good show!"
A feeling of surprise spread among the crowd like ripples, and an atmosphere of surprise permeated the air.
Old Farmer Zhou and Uncle Lu looked at each other, not knowing how to respond for a moment...
"What do you two think?" Shen Qiqi looked at them with a smile, her eyes full of provocation.
Old Farmer Zhou and Uncle Lu looked at each other, obviously a little caught off guard by Shen Qiqi's proposal.
The villagers' curiosity reached its peak and they began to talk about it. A subtle tension filled the air.
The smile on Shen Qiqi's lips became more and more obvious, and her eyes rolled, as if she had already made up her mind.
"You two, if you don't believe it, then just let the facts speak for themselves!" Shen Qiqi said casually, as if this was just a small suggestion rather than a major decision.
