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

The successful creation of the "Cuishan Folk Culture Tourism Zone" has made Cuigu Village and the surrounding villages immersed in joy and busyness.

There are endless tourists coming to visit every day, and every corner of the village is filled with laughter.

But as the number of tourists continues to increase, new problems have gradually emerged.

On that day, Village Chief Petrov and Technician Zhang were standing at the entrance of the village, watching the tourist buses driving in, but their faces no longer had the ease they used to have.

Village chief Petrov frowned and said, "Technician Zhang, the increasing number of tourists is a good thing, but our village's reception capacity is a bit behind. Many tourists complained that accommodation is tight and they have to queue up for a long time to eat."

Technician Zhang also looked worried. He squatted down, picked up a branch and scratched it on the ground, saying, "Village chief, I've been thinking about this too. The number of existing reception households in our village is indeed limited. I thought it would be enough to develop slowly, but I didn't expect that the number of tourists would be so large. I think we should encourage more villagers to vacate their empty houses and convert them into guest rooms, but I don't know if everyone is willing to do so."

As they were talking, they walked towards the village and happened to meet Aunt Liu from the village.

Aunt Liu greeted them warmly: "Village head, Technician Zhang, what are you discussing? You look so worried."

Village chief Petrov told Aunt Liu about the situation. Aunt Liu immediately said, "Oh, this is a good thing. We should seize the opportunity to make the village better and better, right? I still have a few empty rooms. I am willing to clean them up and let tourists stay. I just don't know how to renovate them."

Technician Zhang smiled and said, "Aunt Liu, you are so conscious! Don't worry about the renovation. We will invite knowledgeable people to guide everyone and ensure that it is clean and comfortable to meet the requirements of tourists."

Afterwards, Village Chief Petrov convened a meeting of all villagers and shared the idea of ​​expanding the accommodation capacity with everyone, which immediately became lively.

An old man stood up and said, "Village head, if we renovate our house to accommodate tourists, where will our family live? Besides, it will cost money to renovate the house, and we don't have that much money."

Village chief Petrov hastily explained, "Uncle, don't worry. We can take our time with this renovation and make use of the empty houses that are not occupied for the time being. As for the money, we can apply for a subsidy from the township, or we can all pool our money together. Once we have some income, we can quickly get our money back. And with more tourists, we can sell agricultural products, handicrafts, etc., and our income will increase a lot."

Technician Zhang also continued, "Yes, think about it, everyone. Our village is now so well developed, all thanks to everyone's concerted efforts. This is also a new opportunity. If we improve the accommodation conditions and make the tourists satisfied, more people will come in the future, and our lives will be more prosperous."

After hearing what they said, the villagers began to discuss the matter one by one, and slowly, more and more people expressed their willingness to support this matter.

The village immediately took action and invited a construction master from the county to guide everyone in the house renovation.

The masters built several guest room samples of different styles with wooden boards on the open space in the village, showing the villagers how to layout and decorate them to make them more comfortable and beautiful.

The villagers gathered around the model house, looking at it and asking various questions.

"Master, how big should this window be? We need to ensure that the room is bright and safe."

"How can we place the bed to make it look more comfortable? We have to make sure the tourists feel comfortable."

The construction masters patiently answered the questions one by one, and the villagers took notes carefully.

Aunt Liu's house was the first to be renovated. She put all the old things in the house aside, and together with several other women, she took brooms and rags and cleaned the empty rooms thoroughly.

Several young people in the village followed the construction master to learn how to build walls and install doors and windows, and they worked enthusiastically.

"Erzhuzi, you have to stack the bricks neatly when you build the wall, otherwise it won't be solid."

The master gave instructions on the side.

"Don't worry, Master. I'm watching carefully. I won't be careless."

Erzhuzi wiped the sweat from his forehead and answered with a smile.

With everyone's joint efforts, the several guest rooms in Aunt Liu's house were quickly renovated. They were clean and tidy, and exuded a strong country style.

When other villagers saw how well their Aunt Liu’s house was renovated, they also sped up the renovation of their own homes.

But at this moment, another problem arose.

As the number of tourists increased, water supply in the village became tight.

In the past, the old well in the village was barely enough for the villagers' daily use, but now it seems unable to meet the dual needs of tourists and villagers.

Village chief Petrov found technician Zhang anxiously and said, "Technician Zhang, what should we do if there is not enough water? It will be terrible if tourists can't even use water."

Technician Zhang thought for a while and said, "Village head, I think we need to find a way to dig a few more wells to increase the water source. In addition, we need to emphasize water conservation to the villagers and formulate some rules for water use."

Therefore, the village organized several old and young people who were familiar with well-drilling techniques and began to look for a suitable location to dig a well.

Relying on their years of experience, the elders selected locations in several corners of the village, and then everyone started digging wells.

Digging a well is not an easy job. We dug down one shovel at a time. The soil was wet and heavy, but no one complained of being tired.

"Tiedan, if you're tired, come up and rest for a while. Don't force yourself to keep going."

An old man shouted to Tiedan who was working underground.

"It's okay, uncle. I can still do it. If we can dig a well soon, our village won't have to worry about water."

Tiedan responded without stopping his hands.

After several days of hard work, several new wells were finally dug, and clear well water gushed out, solving the water shortage problem in the village.

With the improvement of accommodation conditions and the resolution of water problems, Cuigu Village's tourism reception capacity has been greatly enhanced, tourists' satisfaction has become increasingly higher, and the reputation of the "Cuishan Folk Culture Tourism Area" has spread further and further.
