"Li Ergou, Wang Tiezhu, and Zhao Xiaosan! Come out here!" Shen Qiqi stood in the yard and roared with such force that the sparrows on the trees fluttered away.
After a while, three strong young men ran out, holding their own tools: Li Ergou held a homemade woodworking plane, Wang Tiezhu held a pair of rusty pliers, and Zhao Xiaosan held a bundle of hemp rope. The three looked at Shen Qiqi curiously, wondering what she was up to.
Shen Qiqi didn't waste any words and directly spread the blueprint in front of them, "Everyone, do you want to try something exciting? Come build farm tools with me, and we will be the coolest guys in the village in the future!"
The eyes of several young people suddenly lit up, and they gathered around the drawings and started discussing them in great detail, as if they had discovered a new world.
Everyone was talking at once, all kinds of wonderful ideas collided with each other, and the whole yard suddenly became as lively as a small market.
As soon as they said it, Shen Qiqi and the three young people took action immediately.
Some are responsible for finding wood, some are responsible for polishing, and some are responsible for assembling. The scene is in full swing, like a vibrant "small factory".
The sound of hammers, the friction of wood, and people's laughter are intertwined to form a beautiful "labor symphony".
When Zhang the blacksmith heard the noise, he also walked over curiously.
When he saw several young people surrounding Shen Qiqi, carefully making tools according to the drawings, his face suddenly became a little embarrassed, his old face turned red, and he even forgot to smoke the dry tobacco in his hand.
He felt like an "old antique" abandoned by the times, so embarrassed that he could even dig out a three-bedroom apartment with his toes.
Lu Qing looked at Shen Qiqi who was busy and enthusiastic, with a happy smile on his face. From time to time, he handed her a kettle and helped her wipe the sweat from her forehead.
His eyes were full of love, so gentle that they could squeeze water out of them.
Shen Qiqi would occasionally return Lu Qing's gentle glances. The young couple was so affectionate with each other that the air was filled with sweetness, making others envious.
After an afternoon of hard work, all kinds of strange-shaped tools took shape, each of them full of the flavor of "black technology".
As night fell, everyone, tired after a day of work, packed up and prepared to go home.
Shen Qiqi looked at the tools in front of her with a satisfied smile on her face. She picked up one of them and said to Lu Qing, "Dangdangdang! How about it? Isn't it cool? Tomorrow, I'm going to surprise the whole family!"
The next morning, the sun shone on the Lu family courtyard, and the air was filled with the fragrance of earth.
Shen Qiqi couldn't wait to move the newly made farm tools to the yard and show them to her family like a treasure.
"Ding ding ding ding! Fellow villagers, please open your eyes wide, the time to witness a miracle has arrived!" Shen Qiqi shouted exaggeratedly, like a street performer.
Mrs. Lu was initially skeptical, but when she saw these bizarre things, she couldn't help but complain, "Qiqi, what are these? I'm afraid they're not for scratching an itch, are they?"
Lu Qing immediately stood up to support his wife. "Mom, don't underestimate these tools. They're all high-tech!" He picked up a peculiarly shaped "small hoe" and demonstrated it skillfully in the yard. "Look, this thing is very efficient at loosening the soil. It's much easier to use than an ordinary hoe!"
Other family members also gathered around and looked at these new farm tools curiously.
The eldest brother of the Lu family picked up a tool that looked like a rake and exclaimed in amazement: "This thing must be the best for raking the ground!"
The second sister-in-law of the Lu family couldn't help but try it out and said excitedly, "Qiqi, your little shovel is so easy to use! It's so convenient for digging holes and planting vegetables!"
Seeing that the family members were full of praise for the new tools, Shen Qiqi raised her chin proudly, and the little abacus in her heart was clacking: Humph, old lady, you have nothing to say now!
"Qiqi, these tools look really good." Mrs. Lu's attitude took a 180-degree turn. "With these tools, our vegetable garden will definitely have a good harvest!"
For a moment, an atmosphere of excitement spread throughout the Lu family courtyard.
Everyone was imagining the scene of a good harvest, as if they had already seen the fruits and vegetables filling up the granaries.
"With these tools, our vegetable garden will definitely be transformed!"
"When the time comes, let's wait for delicious food and spicy drinks!"
"Well, even if we have good tools, we still have to guard against those pests..." Lu Qing suddenly said.
Shen Qiqi's smile froze instantly, and her eyes became deeper...
She slowly walked over to the sack filled with seeds, touched it with her hand, and murmured, "Yes, I have the tools and seeds, but these pests..."
