They began to reflect, to introspect, and to realize their recent laziness and loss.
"Qiqi is right, we can't forget our roots!" A villager who was once addicted to gambling stood up and said sincerely, "I will never gamble again. I will work hard and contribute to the village!"
His words resonated with other villagers who had been gambling and expressed their desire to mend their ways.
Seeing this scene, Shen Qiqi showed a surprised smile on her face, and a gratified atmosphere surged in her heart.
Lu Qing also smiled with relief.
After the event, the villagers dispersed, but a fire was lit in their hearts, a fire of hope for the future.
Those villagers who were once addicted to entertainment have also found their direction in life again.
Lu Qing and Shen Qiqi watched the village return to its normal atmosphere. They hugged each other and smiled. A warm feeling flowed in their hearts, and a warm atmosphere filled the village.
"Qiqi," Lu Qing suddenly said, "You said..."
The village is alive again!
The loud speakers no longer blared the sounds of mahjong, but were replaced by the labor chants of "one, two, hey, hey, hey." There was a blaring of gongs and drums, firecrackers, waving red flags, and a sea of people...
Ahem, it’s a bit exaggerated, but the bustling scene really makes people’s blood boil.
In the early morning, the golden sunlight shines on the fields, and the air is filled with the fragrance of soil and a hint of farm manure...
Unique atmosphere.
The villagers carried hoes and pushed carts, chatting and laughing as they walked towards the fields.
If you didn’t know what was going on, you would think that the crew was filming a period drama!
"Lao Zhang, your kid has become hardworking now. I saw him squatting in the corner picking his feet a few days ago!"
"That's right. My wife doesn't play mahjong anymore. She learns to grow vegetables from Qiqi every day. She says she wants to build a small green organic vegetable garden so that she can eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks in the future!"
Shen Qiqi and Lu Qing walked on the ridge of the field, listening to the villagers' discussions, with gratified smiles on their faces.
"Qiqi, you are so amazing!" Lu Qing looked at the vibrant scene in front of him and exclaimed sincerely.
Shen Qiqi raised her eyebrows proudly: "Of course, don't you see who I am! I am Niu Hulu Qiqi!"
Suddenly, the village chief ran over breathlessly, shouting from a distance: "Qiqi! Lu Qing! Something big has happened!"
Shen Qiqi and Lu Qing looked at each other, their hearts skipped a beat, and an ominous premonition arose spontaneously.
"What's wrong, Village Chief? Did you... lose your shoes while running?" Shen Qiqi looked at the Village Chief with one bare foot and the other wearing socks, and couldn't help but teasing him.
The village chief didn't care about his image. He grabbed Shen Qiqi's hand and said anxiously: "There is a new policy from above. It is necessary to adjust the industrial structure of our village! It is said that..."
Before the village chief could finish his words, he was interrupted by a burst of urgent bicycle bells.
The postman came rushing over on his bicycle, holding a document in his hand, and shouted: "Village Chief! Urgent notice! Express delivery!"
Lu Qing took the document and his expression instantly became serious.
Shen Qiqi also realized the seriousness of the matter and put away her joking thoughts.
"What's wrong?" Shen Qiqi asked nervously.
Lu Qing took a deep breath and said slowly, "The higher-ups want us to..." He paused, his eyes fixed on the document, his brows furrowed, "They want us to change the crops..."
"What to change to?" Shen Qiqi's heart was in her throat.
Lu Qing's lips moved, but he didn't say anything in the end. He just handed the document to Shen Qiqi.
Shen Qiqi took the document, glanced through it quickly, and her expression became solemn.
"This..." Shen Qiqi raised her head in disbelief and looked at Lu Qing, "How is this possible..."
Lu Qing didn't say anything, but just held Shen Qiqi's hand tightly.
As night fell, the dim light in the village committee office shone on Shen Qiqi and Lu Qing's faces. Their expressions were extremely serious.
The new policy document lay quietly on the table, like a huge rock weighing on their hearts.
"This..." Shen Qiqi broke the silence, "What should I do..."
