The Age of Rebirth: Winning since the educated youth went to the countryside

"Ziwen, I want to go to the mushroom cultivation base later."

During breakfast, Chen Shiying spoke.

She was still very worried after not going to the mushroom growing base for two days.

"Okay, I'll go with you." Zhou Ziwen nodded. He also wanted to go to the mushroom cultivation base to check out the situation.

After all, his current prestige is mainly due to his mushroom cultivation base.

The mushroom cultivation base can bring benefits to the production team and make the villagers rich.

Tangible benefits are the fundamental reason why the villagers support him.

After finishing their breakfast and clearing away the dishes, they headed to the mushroom growing base together.

Along the way, the rain was still falling. Although it was not heavy, the ground was still muddy.

There were not many people at the mushroom growing base. When they arrived at their destination, only a few team members on duty were still busy.

Seeing Zhou Ziwen and Chen Shiying coming over, the team members greeted them one after another.

"Dayou, how are the mushrooms at the base? Is there any problem?"

Zhou Ziwen asked.

"Team leader, deputy team leader, you are here. There is no big problem with the mushrooms, but the continuous rain has made the humidity in the greenhouse a bit high. We have been paying attention to ventilation these two days." Wang Dayou replied hurriedly.

Chen Shiying nodded. She was very familiar with the growth environment of mushrooms. High humidity was beneficial to the growth of mushrooms, but it was also necessary to prevent the occurrence of diseases caused by excessive humidity.

"Ziwen, let's take a look first and check if there are any signs of disease." Chen Shiying said.

Zhou Ziwen nodded and went to the various planting workshops of the mushroom base with Chen Shiying to inspect.

The temperature in the workshop is higher than outside, and the air is filled with the unique fresh scent of mushrooms.

They carefully examined the growth of the mushrooms and found that most of them were growing well, with full caps and strong stems, and no obvious signs of disease were found.

Chen Shiying was careful and she still found some slight mold spots. She immediately instructed the team members to clean them up and strengthen ventilation measures.

"If these molds are not dealt with, they will spread quickly and affect the quality of the mushrooms," Chen Shiying said to the team members.

"Okay, we will pay attention." Wang Da nodded. The Mushroom Group is usually managed by Chen Shiying, and Zhou Ziwen has basically gotten rid of it.

With Zhou Ziwen backing her up and often giving her special treatment, she was the best at mushroom cultivation technology, apart from Zhou Ziwen.

The members of the Mushroom Group also believed in her.

Zhou Ziwen and Chen Shiying took a tour of the workshop and were relieved after confirming that the mushrooms were growing well.

After taking a tour around the mushroom cultivation base, just as Zhou Ziwen was about to go to the health center, the production team's broadcast suddenly sounded.

Wu Dagang's voice came from inside.

"Attention, leaders of all production teams. Attention, leaders of all production teams. There is an emergency that needs your immediate attention. Please go to the village committee meeting room immediately after hearing the broadcast to hold an emergency meeting. I repeat, please go to the village committee meeting room immediately after hearing the broadcast to hold an emergency meeting..."

……

After hearing the broadcast, Zhou Ziwen and Chen Shiying looked at each other and saw the confusion in each other's eyes.

They didn't know what had happened, but it must be something serious since Wu Dagang could call an emergency meeting via the radio.

"Shiying, let's go to the village committee first to see what's going on." Zhou Ziwen said.

He is the leader of the Mushroom Group and Chen Shiying is the deputy leader of the Mushroom Group.

He won’t say anything. Although Chen Shiying is a deputy team leader, she is also a team leader. Don’t treat a team leader as a cadre.

Chen Shiying nodded, and the two of them immediately left the mushroom cultivation base and walked quickly towards the village committee in the drizzle.

Along the way, they saw leaders of other production teams and some village representatives also rushing to the village committee.

Everyone's expression was a little serious. Apparently, everyone realized that they were suddenly called to a meeting because there must be something important.

When they arrived at the village committee meeting room, Zhou Ziwen and Chen Shiying found that there were already quite a few people sitting inside.

Seeing that almost everyone was present, Wu Dagang cleared his throat and began to explain the reason for the emergency meeting.

"Everyone, we have called you here today because we have received a notice from our superiors to discuss collective labor."

Hearing this, the expressions of the people present became more serious.

Collective labor matters can be big or small, but if they require an emergency meeting to discuss them, it means that the task may be heavy or time is tight.

Among the people present, perhaps only Zhou Ziwen and Chen Shiying knew little about collective labor, but they, the villagers, were familiar with it.

Generally speaking, the collective labor tasks issued by the commune must be carried out conscientiously by the production teams below.

This kind of collective labor generally involves large-scale labor such as digging ditches and building dams.

This kind of collective labor usually lasts for a long time, ranging from one or two months to three to five months.

There was a burst of low murmurs in the conference room, and everyone was guessing the specific content of this collective labor.

Finally, someone couldn't help but ask, "Secretary Wu, what exactly is this collective labor for? What do we need to prepare?"

Wu Dagang looked at everyone and knew that this question could not be avoided, so he answered directly:

"This time our mission is to repair the dam. There is something you may not know. Just yesterday, the dam upstream of our village showed signs of collapse due to the impact of heavy rain. If it is not repaired in time, once the flood comes, our entire village will be submerged."

"So the commune urgently issued this task, requiring our village and several surrounding villages to participate in repairing the dam, and time is very tight, and repairs must be carried out immediately to prevent floods.

The conference room suddenly exploded, and everyone realized the seriousness of the matter.

"Secretary Wu, are you talking about the Tongxin Dam in Huangtu Village?"

"Yes, it's the Tongxin Dam near Huangtu Village." Wu Dagang nodded seriously.

"This dam is related to the safety of several of our villages. Once the flood breaks, the consequences will be disastrous."

"How is this possible? I remember the Tongxin Dam was quite strong."

"Yeah! I went there a few days ago!"

"The rainstorm was too powerful, especially the heavy rain the night before yesterday. The dam was under tremendous pressure for a long time and part of the foundation was washed away, so there were signs of collapse." Wu Dagang explained helplessly.

Everyone fell silent. This news made them feel breathless.

If the dam really collapsed, none of the villages downstream would be able to escape.

This feeling that their life safety is threatened makes them feel unprecedented tension and anxiety.
