Siheyuan: I am the God of Cooking, and all the birds are crying with envy!

The charity dinner came to a successful conclusion. The bright lights and warm applause gradually faded away, but He Yuzhu hurried back to the company with a deeper sense of mission.

His steps are firm and powerful, and every step seems to be based on the responsibility of society.

As soon as I stepped into the office, the assistant came in hurriedly, holding a stack of documents in his hands, and said anxiously:

"Mr. He, this is a letter of help from several impoverished areas. The situation is not optimistic and is very critical."

Upon hearing this, He Yuzhu quickly took the letter and read through it with sharp eyes.

Lines of text were like heavy hammers, hitting his heart again and again. His brows furrowed tighter and tighter, and his expression became more and more solemn.

After reading the last letter, he said without hesitation:

"Notify the team. We will set out for Qingyan County early tomorrow morning. The disaster-stricken area there is the hardest hit, and the people there are eagerly awaiting our help."

The next morning, at daybreak, He Yuzhu led the team on the journey to Qingyan County.

The vehicle sped along the winding mountain road, shaking all the way.

Outside the window, the mountains are rolling, but they cannot hide the barrenness of this land.

The road was bumpy, the wheels often fell into potholes, and the car body shook violently, as if telling the inconvenience of transportation and the difficulty of development in this area.

After a long and arduous drive of several hours, they finally arrived in Qingyan County.

The scene in the county town makes people feel chilly. The streets are deserted and there are very few pedestrians. Everyone's face is filled with fatigue and helplessness.

Most of the shops were closed, and the few that were open were doing very poorly.

He Yuzhu and his group went straight to the county government, where the county magistrate Zhao Gang was already waiting at the door.

The moment he saw He Yuzhu, Zhao Gang quickly stepped forward and held He Yuzhu's hands tightly with both hands, his excitement was beyond words:

"Mr. He, you are finally here! Your arrival is like bringing the dawn of hope to our Qingyan County.

Our county has suffered a severe drought that occurs once in a century. The crops have been almost completely destroyed and the people are in dire straits. It is really difficult!"

He Yuzhu looked at Zhao Gang's anxious and haggard face, his eyes revealing firmness and determination, and said in a steady and powerful tone:

"County Magistrate Zhao, please don't worry. Now that I'm here, I will never let you down. I will definitely go all out and come up with practical solutions to help you overcome this difficulty.

Let’s first go to the worst-hit villages for a field visit to understand the specific situation.”

Under the guidance of Zhao Gang, He Yuzhu and his party came to Hongxing Village.

As soon as we entered the village, people of all ages gathered around us from all directions, their eyes full of anticipation, as if they had seen a ray of light in the darkness.

An old lady with gray hair and wrinkles on her face walked up to He Yuzhu with trembling steps, stretched out her dry hand to hold him, and said in a trembling voice:

"My child, you must save us. This drought has destroyed all the crops we depend on for survival. Our ancestors have relied on farming for a living, but now we have no way to make a living. I really don't know what to do."

He Yuzhu gently held the old lady's hand, as if comforting his loved one, and said softly:

“Grandma, don’t worry, I’m here to solve the problem.

If we work together, we will surely overcome difficulties and make life better.”

Afterwards, He Yuzhu and the villagers sat under the old locust tree in the village and began to discuss countermeasures.

Uncle Li, a villager, sighed deeply, frowned, and said helplessly:

"Mr. He, we have tried every possible way to find water. We have dug wells in every place we can think of. However, the drought is so severe that the groundwater level has dropped sharply. Most of the wells we dug are dry and there is no water at all."

He Yuzhu pondered for a moment, raised his head with a determined look, and said: "I have an idea. We can invite a professional water conservancy team to conduct a comprehensive and detailed survey of the geology here, and maybe we can find other usable water sources.

At the same time, I will invest in purchasing a batch of specially bred drought-resistant crop seeds and distribute them to everyone for free.

As long as the water problem is solved, everyone can sow seeds in time and strive for a good harvest in the following season."

After hearing this, the villagers nodded in agreement.

At this time, the young villager Xiao Wang scratched his head, looked worried, and asked cautiously:

"Mr. He, the cost of building this water conservancy project and purchasing seeds must be a lot of money. How can ordinary people like us afford such a large sum of money?"

After hearing this, He Yuzhu smiled gently and said earnestly, "You don't have to worry about the cost at all.

As an entrepreneur, I have the responsibility and obligation to contribute to society.

These investments are what I should do without asking for anything in return.

I just hope that everyone can unite as one, work hand in hand, and overcome the current difficulties together.

As long as we work together, there is nothing we cannot overcome.”

In the following days, He Yuzhu's team took quick action.

Professional water conservancy experts carried heavy equipment and shuttled through every corner of Hongxing Village, conducting detailed and in-depth surveys of the surrounding geology.

After several days of unremitting efforts, exciting news finally came - they discovered an underground river.

After learning the news, He Yuzhu immediately organized a construction team and raced against time to carry out excavation and pipe laying work.

At the construction site, machines are roaring and workers are busy shuttling around under the scorching sun.

He Yuzhu arrived at the construction site and happened to meet Uncle Li who was helping to move materials.

Uncle Li wiped the beads of sweat off his face and asked anxiously, "Mr. He, do you think this project can be completed on time?

We are all eagerly looking forward to having water to irrigate the crops soon. If there is any delay, there will be no hope for this season."

He Yuzhu looked at the bustling construction site and said confidently:

“Uncle Li, don’t worry, our construction team is top-notch in the industry and has rich experience.

They are already working overtime and will definitely allow clean water to flow into our farmland in the shortest possible time."

After more than half a month of hard work, the water conservancy project was finally completed successfully.

As clear water flowed through the pipes into the long-dried farmland, the villagers cheered and many people were so excited that they burst into tears.

He Yuzhu stood aside, watching this scene, a gratified smile appeared on his face, and a sense of accomplishment arose in his heart.

Immediately afterwards, He Yuzhu organized the villagers to receive drought-resistant seeds in an orderly manner, and invited agricultural experts to provide planting training for everyone.

At the training site, agricultural experts held carefully prepared materials and explained the key points of planting in detail.

Aunt Zhang, a villager, listened very carefully, but still had some doubts. She couldn't help but stand up and ask, "Expert, do you think these drought-resistant seeds can really thrive in such a dry land like ours?

We have never planted this kind of seeds before, so we are really unsure."

The expert patiently explained: "Aunt Zhang, don't worry.

These seeds are bred by scientific researchers after years of research and repeated experiments, and have strong drought resistance.

As long as everyone strictly follows the methods I teach and does a good job of field management, we will definitely have a good harvest this year."

Thanks to the joint efforts of He Yuzhu and the villagers, tender green seedlings gradually emerged in the farmlands of Hongxing Village.

Looking at these seedlings full of vitality and hope, the villagers are full of longing for their future life.

However, things never go as planned, and a sudden storm hit Red Star Village without warning.

The wind was howling and the rain was pouring down, as if it was going to swallow up the entire village.

After the storm, the farmland was in a mess. Many seedlings were ruthlessly blown down and lay in the mud.

The villagers looked at the severely damaged crops and their hopes were instantly shattered. Feelings of sadness and despair spread among the crowd.

After He Yuzhu learned the news, he rushed to the farmland as soon as possible.

Looking at the lost expressions of the villagers, he felt very heavy in his heart, but he knew that he had to cheer up and boost everyone's morale at this moment.

He said loudly: "Fellow villagers, don't lose heart! Although this storm has caused us considerable losses, we must not be defeated by difficulties.

We must believe that there are always more solutions than problems. As long as we work together, we will be able to make up for the losses and restore the vitality of farmland.”

At this time, County Magistrate Zhao also rushed to the scene. He immediately said: "Mr. He is absolutely right! Our government will never sit idly by and will fully support everyone.

We will immediately organize personnel, calculate the losses as soon as possible, and apply for subsidies from higher authorities to help everyone overcome the difficulties.”

With the encouragement of He Yuzhu and County Magistrate Zhao, the villagers rekindled their fighting spirit and picked up tools and joined He Yuzhu in the farmland restoration work.

During the restoration process, the villagers expressed their gratitude as they worked, saying that thanks to He Yuzhu's encouragement and support, they had the courage to face the difficulties again.

After several days of hard work, the farmland has basically returned to its original state.

In the following days, He Yuzhu and agricultural experts kept a close eye on the growth of crops, regularly visited the fields, and provided timely technical guidance and assistance to the villagers.

They carefully checked the growth conditions of each crop and patiently answered various questions raised by the villagers to ensure that the crops could thrive.

As time went by, Hongxing Village finally ushered in the harvest season.

The golden crops sparkled brightly in the sun. When the breeze blew, the wheat waves rolled like a golden ocean.

The villagers' faces are filled with happy smiles, which is the result of their hard work and joint efforts.

At the celebration of the harvest, the village chief's voice trembled with excitement: "Mr. He, you are the great benefactor of our Red Star Village! If it weren't for you, we really don't know how we would have survived this disaster.

Today, we not only have a harvest of grain, but more importantly, we have regained hope and confidence in life.

This kindness will be remembered by all of us in the village."

He Yuzhu looked at the villagers with joy on their faces, and said sincerely: "This is the result of everyone's joint efforts.

In the face of difficulties, everyone did not retreat, but worked together and moved forward courageously.

I just did what I could.

Seeing everyone living a good life makes me happy from the bottom of my heart.”

After returning from Hongxing Village, He Yuzhu did not stop his charitable activities.

He knew very well that in this vast land, there were many places like Red Star Village, where countless people were facing various difficulties and were in urgent need of help.

So, he resolutely set up a special charity foundation within the company to integrate more resources and increase support for poor areas.

One day, He Yuzhu was busy handling affairs in the office when the phone suddenly rang.

He picked up the phone, and a strange and gentle voice came from the other end of the phone: "Excuse me, is this Mr. He Yuzhu? I am Lin Fang, the director of Sunshine Orphanage.
