Shen Qiqi took a deep breath. Instead of wasting words, it would be better to prove everything with actions!
She turned to look at Lu Qing, her eyes as firm as a sword drawn from its sheath, as if to say, "Today, I have decided on this vegetable garden. Even Jesus cannot stop me!"
Lu Qing looked at his wife's exploding little universe, and a doting smile unconsciously appeared on the corner of his mouth.
His wife is just so cool, once she makes up her mind, nothing can change her mind!
He held Shen Qiqi's hand tightly, as if giving her silent support. The atmosphere between the couple instantly changed from tense to sweet and tender, and the air was filled with pink bubbles.
However, this heartwarming scene didn't last more than three seconds before it was broken by Mrs. Lu's nagging.
"Oh my goodness, have you two conspired to piss me off to death? You have a nice vegetable garden but you insist on messing with it. I think you are just bored!" The old lady put her hands on her hips, like a hen with its feathers standing on end. Her eyes seemed to want to eat Shen Qiqi alive.
The room was instantly filled with the smell of gunpowder again.
Shen Qiqi ignored the old lady's nagging and walked out with Lu Qing.
The two came to the seed shop in the town. The shop was not big, but it was crowded with villagers who came to buy seeds.
Shen Qiqi squeezed into the crowd and saw at a glance that behind the counter, a fat boss with a smile like Maitreya Buddha was busy weighing seeds for customers.
"Boss, I want some new varieties of rapeseed, such as that kind..." Before Shen Qiqi finished speaking, she was interrupted by Boss Wu.
"Hey, girl, I don't have the new variety you want. Now the old varieties are selling well. Look, these cabbage and radish are all top-notch!" Boss Wu said as he pointed at several packets of seeds on the counter with his greasy fingers.
Shen Qiqi looked at the seeds with simple packaging and nothing new, and her brows frowned unconsciously. Was this boss trying to trick her?
She looked around and saw that the seeds other customers were buying were also these outdated varieties.
"Then are there any other better ones? For example, ones with high yield and good taste?" Shen Qiqi asked unwillingly.
Boss Wu's eyes rolled, and he immediately put on the face of a profiteer. "Oh, girl, you have a good eye! I actually have it here, but it's a little expensive." He fished under the counter and pulled out a beautifully packaged bag of seeds with a bunch of fancy designs printed on them. "This is a new variety from the city. I guarantee the vegetables you grow will taste ten times better than others!"
Shen Qiqi looked at the packaging and felt that it looked familiar. She picked it up and took a closer look. Isn't this the fake foreign brand she saw at the market last time?
This Boss Wu really dares to fool people!
Her eyes were stern, and her tone was full of doubt, "Boss, this seed, can't it be fake?"
Boss Wu felt a little guilty when he saw Shen Qiqi's eyes. His eyes flickered and he said with a smile: "Miss, what you said is true. I run my business with integrity!"
The surrounding customers also looked at them curiously, and the atmosphere became subtle.
Shen Qiqi did not continue to ask, but put the seed down and looked at Boss Wu meaningfully, "Since there is no, forget it." She left this sentence, pulled Lu Qing and turned away, leaving Boss Wu wiping the sweat from his forehead.
Walking out of the seed shop, Shen Qiqi sighed slightly. It seemed that the first step of transforming the vegetable garden had encountered difficulties.
She walked aimlessly on the street with her head down...
Shen Qiqi walked down the street with her head drooping, looking like an eggplant hit by frost.
The surrounding noise seemed to be blocked out by a thin film. She could not hear anything and her mind was full of those fake seeds with fancy packaging.
The bustling streets also became blurred and gray in her eyes, just like her mood at the moment.
"Alas, these days, I can't even buy reliable seeds. It seems the road to transforming this vegetable garden is long and difficult!" Shen Qiqi couldn't help but mutter in a low voice, her tone full of frustration.
Suddenly, a warm big hand gently rubbed her hair, and a familiar fresh breath instantly surrounded her.
Shen Qiqi raised her head and saw Lu Qing looking at her with a distressed expression, his eyes full of doting.
"What's wrong, Qiqi? What did that old liar say again?"
Shen Qiqi pouted and told Lu Qing all about the bad things that happened in the seed store just now.
After hearing this, Lu Qing couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Just such a small matter, has our Qiqi been stumped? Don't worry, I'm here for you!"
Shen Qiqi rolled her eyes at him. "That's easy to say, but where are you going to find good seeds? You can't just conjure them up with magic, right?"
Lu Qing smiled mysteriously, leaned close to her ear, and whispered, "The hermit has a clever plan!"
Before Shen Qiqi could react, Lu Qing pulled her, turned around, and walked out of the town.
"Hey, where are we going?" Shen Qiqi was confused. This didn't seem right. Shouldn't we try our luck at another seed store?
Lu Qing did not answer, but just quickened his pace, with the smile on his lips growing more and more intense.
They walked for a long time and came to a rugged mountain road. Shen Qiqi looked at this place where there was no village in front and no shop behind, and her heart became even more confused.
"Lu Qing, what are you up to? Where are we going?" Shen Qiqi couldn't help but ask.
"Go to the neighboring village." Lu Qing's tone was calm, as if he was just visiting the next door.
"Neighboring village? Why go to the neighboring village?" Shen Qiqi was even more confused.
"Hehe, you'll know when you get there." Lu Qing kept it a secret and quickened his pace, leaving Shen Qiqi in a mess.
