As night falls, the moonlight is like water, covering the fields with a veil.
Shen Qiqi and Lu Qing stood in the newly reclaimed specialty agricultural fields, looking at the crops that were growing poorly in front of them, their brows furrowed.
This land, which was once the place where they placed their hopes, is now like an eggplant hit by frost - wilted.
"What should we do? This thing looks like it's malnourished." Shen Qiqi squatted down and picked up a wilted seedling, her tone full of anxiety.
Lu Qing also squatted beside her and reached out to touch the leaves. They felt rough and lacked moisture.
"It seems that the technical difficulties are more difficult than we thought." He sighed, his tone heavy.
There was a tense atmosphere in the field, and the chirping of crickets seemed particularly anxious.
A night breeze blew by, bringing with it a faint smell of earth, mixed with a hint of corruption.
Shen Qiqi sniffed, "This smell is wrong!" She looked around vigilantly, "Is he sick?"
The two did not dare to delay and quickly invited Old Wang, the so-called "agricultural expert" in the village, to come over.
Old Wang was wearing a straw hat, with his hands behind his back, pacing in square steps, looking like a master.
He walked around the field several times, occasionally plucking a leaf and smelling it, then finally shook his head and said, "Well, this is a case of 'lack of mind' disease."
Shen Qiqi and Lu Qing looked at each other in bewilderment. What kind of disease was this? They had never heard of it.
Old Wang cleared his throat and continued, "To cure this disease, you have to use my exclusive secret 'resurrection' fertilizer." As he spoke, he took out a dirty little cloth bag from behind him and shook it mysteriously.
Shen Qiqi's eyelids kept twitching, and she always felt that Old Wang was unreliable.
But there is no other way at the moment, we can only try our best.
Old Wang asked for an exorbitant price.
Shen Qiqi paid the money with a painful feeling, cursing in her heart: This old guy is simply taking advantage of the situation!
However, after using Lao Wang's "exclusive secret fertilizer", the crops not only did not improve, but became even more sluggish.
This time, Shen Qiqi was completely furious!
She angrily went to find Old Wang, but the old man had already slipped away.
"This old liar!" Shen Qiqi stamped her feet in anger, "I'm really pissed off!"
Lu Qing smiled helplessly and gently put his arm around her shoulders. "Don't be angry, Qiqi. Let's think of another way."
"What else can I do?" Shen Qiqi said with a dejected look, "Now the money has been spent, and the crops are almost gone..."
Suddenly, Lu Qing's eyes became stern. He pointed at the faintly visible lights in the distance and said in a low voice, "Qiqi, look..."
In the distance, a few dim lights flickered like ghost lights. Those were the fields of the next village.
Lu Qing pointed over there, his tone uncertain: "Look, it seems that they are growing the same crops as us over there."
Shen Qiqi looked in the direction of his finger and saw that the fields in the distance were also lush green, forming a sharp contrast with the wilted crops in her own field.
Her heart tightened, and an ominous premonition came over her. "Shit! This can't be..."
Lu Qing nodded heavily, confirming her suspicions. "It seems they've also started growing our specialty agricultural products."
"What should I do?" Shen Qiqi felt a sense of powerlessness, as if her home was raided while playing a game, and her heart sank.
With a new batch of similar agricultural products competing at low prices on the market, their village’s specialty agricultural products will definitely be unsalable. Doesn’t this mean that all the initial investment has been wasted?
"Don't panic, Qiqi." Lu Qing held her hand tightly, giving her strength, "We will definitely find a way out!"
But at this moment, Shen Qiqi's mood was like riding a roller coaster, falling from the peak of anticipation to the bottom of the valley in an instant, and the feeling of depression almost made her breathless.
She took a deep breath, tried to calm herself down, and thought to herself: Am I really going to be defeated by this backward technology from the 1970s?
no!
She wants to be the "money-making queen" and she can't give up!
She began to spend day and night in the fields, studying the characteristics of the soil and trying various planting methods.
She is covered in dust and dirt every day, like a little mud monkey, but there is an unyielding light in her eyes.
Lu Qing saw it all and felt pain in his heart, but he could only support her silently and accompany her in her "messing around".
Finally, after countless failures, Shen Qiqi was pleasantly surprised to find that her improved planting techniques miraculously brought the crops back to life!
Those originally wilted seedlings, as if they had been injected with chicken blood, quickly grew upwards, their leaves shining green and full of vitality.
"I did it! I did it! Lu Qing, I succeeded!" Shen Qiqi jumped up excitedly, hugged Lu Qing, and her face was filled with a bright smile.
Lu Qing also hugged her excitedly and kissed her on the forehead, his eyes full of pride and love.
Looking at the vibrant crops in front of her, Shen Qiqi's heart was filled with a sense of accomplishment and pride.
She seemed to see a golden future full of hope.
Not long after, their village's specialty agricultural products had a bumper harvest. Those crops that were wilted before are now big and strong, giving people the feeling of "getting rich overnight".
When the villagers saw this scene, they admired Shen Qiqi even more and regarded her as a "living fairy".
As the days passed, their lives began to improve and the village economy began to develop slowly.
