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

As Cui Gu Village became more and more famous, people from surrounding villages became envious of its development.

That day, the head of a neighboring village came to Cuigu Village with several village cadres, hoping to learn from Village Head Petrov and Technician Zhang.

When the head of the neighboring village saw Petrov, he shook his hand tightly and said, "Head Petrov, your village is so developed that it makes us jealous. We are still worried about how to make everyone live a good life. You must teach us some experience."

Village chief Petrov warmly invited them to sit down and said with a smile: "Haha, it doesn't matter whether we have experience or not. It's all the result of everyone's joint efforts. Our village has seized some opportunities, constantly tried new things, and let the villagers participate."

Technician Zhang added: "Yes, we first worked hard on the deep processing of agricultural products and made wine, then developed rural tourism, set up sketching bases and folk culture festivals, and gradually we have what we have now."

A village official from a neighboring village asked in confusion: "When you first started doing this, were the villagers willing to cooperate? We were afraid that the villagers would not be active and it would be difficult to carry out our work."

Village chief Petrov nodded and said, "In the beginning, some villagers did not quite understand. But we explained the benefits and prospects clearly to them, and let them see the tangible benefits. Gradually, they were willing to participate. Just like when we were making wine, we sent a few young people to learn the technology and then made good wine. When everyone tasted it, they all thought it was good and actively participated."

The head of the neighboring village listened thoughtfully and said: "Well, that makes sense. We have a lot of young people in our village, and we need to mobilize them. Also, you must have spent a lot of money on infrastructure construction for tourism. Where did the money come from?"

Technician Zhang replied: "We applied for some subsidies from the township, and the rest was raised by the villagers themselves. Everyone knows that this is for the good of the village, and they are all willing to contribute money and effort. In addition, we don't start a big project all at once, but start with a little bit, and continue to invest when there is profit."

When everyone was chatting enthusiastically, an old man from the village came in and said to the village chief Petrov: "Village chief, our village is developing well now, but I am still a little worried. The young people in our village are busy with wine making, tourism, and handicrafts. Who will farm the land? We must not forget our roots."

Village chief Petrov said quickly, "Uncle, you are right. This is indeed a problem. We are also considering it. We cannot allow fewer and fewer people to farm. We plan to set up an agricultural cooperative to concentrate the land and use modern planting techniques and equipment to improve efficiency. This will not only not delay farming, but also allow young people to have more energy to develop other industries."

Technician Zhang continued, "Yes, we can also invite some agricultural experts to train everyone and teach them how to farm scientifically to improve yield and quality."

The people in the neighboring village all nodded in praise. The head of the neighboring village said, "You are so thoughtful. We should also make some careful plans when we return to our village."

After seeing off the people from the neighboring village, Village Chief Petrov and Technician Zhang began to discuss the specific details of establishing an agricultural cooperative.

They gathered the village's farming experts and some experienced elderly people to discuss the cooperative's charter and management methods.

A skilled farmer said: "Village head, I think the cooperative needs a good leader who understands technology and can manage."

Another old man said: "Yes, it has to be fair and just, and not let everyone suffer."

Village chief Petrov said: "Everyone is right. We will select someone that everyone trusts as the president. And we will formulate detailed rules and regulations to ensure that the operation of the cooperative is transparent and fair."

"We can also cooperate with some agricultural enterprises and ask them to provide us with technical support and sales channels, so that our agricultural products can be sold better," said technician Zhang.

After some discussion, the preparatory work for the agricultural cooperative went smoothly.

The young people in the village also responded positively, saying that they would help the cooperative in their spare time and not let the land go to waste.

With everyone's joint efforts, the agricultural cooperative was finally established.

The cooperative introduced some new planting techniques and agricultural machinery to improve production efficiency.

At the same time, they also planted some new varieties of crops, such as colored corn, mini pumpkins, etc., which attracted many tourists to visit and buy.

When visiting an agricultural cooperative, a tourist asked curiously: "What is the difference between your colored corn and ordinary corn?"

A member of the cooperative said with a smile: "This colored corn is not only beautiful, but also more nutritious and tastes better."

The tourist tasted the cooked colorful corn and praised it highly, saying, "Oh, it's really good. I must buy some to bring back for my family to try."

With the development of the agricultural cooperative, Cui Gu Village's economy has become more diversified and villagers' income has further increased.

Village chief Petrov and technician Zhang were filled with satisfaction and pride as they watched the village getting better and better.
