Siheyuan: I am protecting Shazhu, who dares to object?

The development of Cui Gu Village is like the crops growing vigorously in spring, becoming more and more prosperous.

Handicrafts and agricultural products have gained a firm foothold in the market, and the art propaganda team has spread the village's good reputation further and further. However, Village Chief Petrov and Technician Zhang know that if the village wants to continue to make progress, they must always remain vigilant, constantly seek new development opportunities, and stick to their original intention of making the village better and better.

On this day, a group of people were sitting under the old locust tree in the village, discussing something enthusiastically.

Village chief Petrov and technician Zhang also walked over, wanting to hear everyone's ideas.

"Village head, technician Zhang, you are here!"

An elderly man greeted them, "We were just talking about this. Our village's agricultural products are selling well, and our handicrafts are also popular. But if we want to increase the output, I feel that the fertility of our land is a bit insufficient."

Village chief Petrov frowned and looked at technician Zhang: "Technician Zhang, what the old man said is indeed true. We have been using farmyard manure before. Although it is green and environmentally friendly, its fertility is limited. This cannot be continued in the long run."

Technician Zhang squatted down, grabbed a handful of soil and twisted it in his hands, and said, "Village head, uncle, I have thought about this too. We have to find a way to improve the fertility of the soil. Traditional farmyard manure alone is really not enough. I heard that there is a kind of chemical fertilizer in the city now, which is quite fertile, but I don't know if it is suitable for the land in our village, and we also have to consider the cost issue."

"Fertilizer? Is that stuff reliable? We can't use it carelessly. What if we damage the soil?"

An old lady said with a worried look on her face.

"Auntie, you are right."

Technician Zhang patiently explained, "So we can't use it rashly. We have to do a test field first to see how it works. I plan to select a few plots of land with different soil types, use different amounts of fertilizers, and record the growth of crops. If it works well and doesn't damage the soil, we can promote it on a large scale."

"Where do we get the fertilizer? And we need someone to take care of this experimental field."

asked the village chief, Petrov.

"Village chief, I'm thinking of sending a few young men to the county supply and marketing cooperative to inquire about fertilizers and see if we can buy some. As for the experimental fields, I see that Erzhuzi and Tiedan in the village are very dedicated in farming, so it's appropriate for them to be in charge."

Technician Zhang suggested.

Therefore, Erzhuzi, Tiedan and several other young people took on the responsibility of the experimental field. They followed Technician Zhang to the county supply and marketing cooperative, and after a lot of persuasion, they finally bought back several bags of different types of fertilizers.

After returning to the village, technician Zhang led everyone to the experimental field. While demonstrating, he reminded them: "Don't apply too much fertilizer. You have to follow the amount I taught you. Mark each fertilizer on different plots. Check the changes in the crops every day. For example, the color of the leaves and the height of the plants must be recorded in detail in the notebook."

Erzhuzi scratched his head and said with a smile, "Technician Zhang, don't worry, I will keep an eye on it and make sure I don't slack off."

As the days passed, everyone gathered at the experimental field every day, watching the changes in the crops and discussing them from time to time.

"Look, the corn seedlings that have been fertilized with chemical fertilizers are growing stronger than the ones next to them that have only been fertilized with farmyard manure. Their leaves are green and lush, and they are pleasing to the eye."

Tiedan shouted excitedly.

"Yes, but we still have to wait and see how the harvest turns out. We can't be too happy just because it's growing well now."

Erzhuzi said steadily.

Finally, the harvest season arrived and all the crops in the experimental fields were harvested. After weighing and comparing, the yield of the fields that had used chemical fertilizers was significantly higher.

Everyone sat together, looking at the statistical data, their faces filled with joy.

"Technician Zhang, this fertilizer is really useful. I think we can buy more and use it on all the land in the village."

Village chief Petrov said happily.

"Village chief, don't be in a hurry."

Technician Zhang waved his hand and said, "Although the yield has increased, we still have to look at the quality of the grain and its impact on the soil. We have to think long-term and not just focus on the yield at the moment."

After careful testing and observation, it was found that the rational use of chemical fertilizers did not cause any adverse effects on the soil, and the quality of grain was also maintained well.

Now, the village began to gradually promote the use of chemical fertilizers, the output increased rapidly, and the villagers became more motivated.

But as production increased, new problems emerged.

Although the road leading to the outside of the village was previously paved with cement, there are now more and more transport vehicles, and cracks have appeared in some places on the road, and there are more potholes.

Village chief Petrov anxiously found technician Zhang and said, "Technician Zhang, there is a problem with the road again. It is not smooth to transport our agricultural products. We must find a way to repair it as soon as possible."

Technician Zhang went to the road to check it out and said, "Village head, the quality of this road was good when it was first built, but they didn't consider that our village would develop so fast and the transportation volume would be so large. This time, we have to reinforce the roadbed and make the road surface thicker."

"That will require a lot of materials. Do we have enough funds in our village? And can our own people do this technology?"

Village chief Petrov asked worriedly.

"As for funding, we can apply for some subsidies from the township, and everyone can chip in. As for technology, I think we can organize a few young people who learned skills during the previous road construction, and then invite road construction masters from the county to give us some guidance. It should be no problem."

Technician Zhang said thoughtfully.

The village bell rang again, calling the villagers to a meeting to discuss road construction.

"Fellow villagers, our road is broken again, but it is the lifeline of our village. Only when the road is repaired can our agricultural products be transported out smoothly and exchanged for money to improve our lives. This time, we have to work together to repair the road."

The village chief Petrov spoke loudly from the stage.

"Village Chief, we'll do whatever you say!"

The villagers below responded one after another.

The young people were responsible for carrying the materials for road construction, the women boiled water and cooked for everyone, and the elderly helped to watch the tools to prevent them from being lost.

During the road construction process, a young man accidentally got his foot hit by a stone, and everyone gathered around him.

"How are you? Does it hurt? Quick, carry him to the village clinic."

Technician Zhang shouted anxiously.

"It's okay, Technician Zhang, it's just a little scrape, it's nothing serious, I can still continue working."

The young man said through gritted teeth.

"That won't work. If you're injured, you need to treat it properly to avoid leaving any root cause. Repairing the road doesn't cost you any more time."

An old lady advised.

With everyone's concern, the injured young man was sent to the health center, while others continued to work enthusiastically.

After a period of hard work, the road was finally repaired. It is stronger and wider than before, and transport vehicles can run steadily on it.

Cui Gu Village has crossed another hurdle in its development. Everyone is looking at the repaired road, their hearts full of longing for the future.
