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

As soon as the New Year’s bell rang, Cui Gu Village was enveloped in a lively and festive atmosphere.

Every household was decorated with lights and colorful lanterns. Children were running and laughing in the streets, holding candies tightly in their hands. The adults gathered together to talk about the changes in the village in the past year and their plans for the new year.

Wang Dashan stood at the gate of his yard, looking at the scene in front of him, his heart full of emotion.

In the past year, Cui Gu Village has experienced many ups and downs, but has also gained a lot of hope.

"Dashan, what are you doing? Come into the house, the dumplings are almost ready."

His wife Xiulan's voice came from inside the house, with a hint of anger.

Wang Dashan came back to his senses and replied with a smile: "I'm coming, I'll be in right away."

As you walk into the house, the aroma of steaming dumplings hits you. The whole family sits around the table, warm and happy.

"Dad, this year's New Year's Day is really lively. The village is full of people."

My son Xiaohu said excitedly, his eyes sparkling.

Wang Dashan touched Xiaohu's head and said with a smile: "Yes, this is the result of everyone's joint efforts. Our village is getting better and better, and the days to come will be more and more prosperous."

"Dashan, what new plans does our village have for the new year?"

Father Wang put down his chopsticks and asked with concern.

Wang Dashan pondered for a moment and said, "Dad, I'm thinking about it. Several industries in our village have started to develop, but we still have to find ways to expand the scale and improve efficiency. I was thinking, can we do something about the deep processing of agricultural products?"

"Deep processing of agricultural products? How do we do it?"

Old Man Wang was a little confused.

Wang Dashan patiently explained: "For example, we can process the vegetables and fruits in the village into canned food, preserved fruit, etc. This will not only extend the shelf life, but also increase the added value and sell them at a good price."

Xiulan nodded in agreement: "This idea sounds good, but I don't know how much it will cost. Can our village afford it?"

Wang Dashan frowned and said, "This is indeed a problem. Purchasing equipment and building a processing plant requires a lot of money. However, there are always more solutions than problems. I plan to go to the county bank first to see if I can apply for a loan."

The family chatted for a while, and Wang Dashan gradually came up with a plan in his mind.

After eating dumplings, he said goodbye to his family and came to the village committee.

At this time, several village cadres have gathered in the village committee and are discussing work arrangements for the new year.

"Dashan, you came at the right time. We were just discussing this. In the new year, we need to plan our tourism projects more carefully to attract more tourists."

Aunt Liu, who is in charge of tourism, said.

Wang Dashan nodded and said, "Aunt Liu is right. We can't relax in the field of tourism. We can develop some new tourism projects, such as farming experience and folk culture exhibitions, so that tourists can have a deeper understanding of our village."

“Also, we need to find ways to improve the quality and build brands for our traditional handicrafts.”

Uncle Li also put forward his own suggestions.

Wang Dashan agreed: "Uncle Li is right. Brand is very important. We can hire a professional designer to design packaging for our products and give them a resounding name to increase product recognition."

Everyone was talking to each other, and the discussion was lively.

Before he knew it, the sky gradually darkened. Wang Dashan looked at everyone's energetic faces and his heart was filled with confidence.

He believes that as long as everyone works together, the future of Cui Gu Village will be even better.

Early the next morning, Wang Dashan set out for the county town.

He first went to the county bank and found Chief Zhang of the Credit Department.

"Hello, Section Chief Zhang! I am Wang Dashan, the Party Secretary of Cuigu Village. I am here today to consult about loans."

Wang Dashan said politely.

Section Chief Zhang smiled and asked him to sit down. He said, "Hello, Secretary Wang. Please tell me more about the loan. What do you plan to use the loan for?"

Wang Dashan told Section Chief Zhang in detail about the village's development plan and ideas for deep processing of agricultural products.

After listening to this, Section Chief Zhang nodded and said, "Secretary Wang, your village's development ideas are very good. Supporting the development of rural industries is also the responsibility of our bank. However, loans require collateral. Does your village have any assets that can be mortgaged?"

Wang Dashan frowned slightly and said, "Chief Zhang, our village's main assets are land and some infrastructure. Can these be mortgaged?"

Section Chief Zhang thought for a moment and said, "The land is collectively owned and cannot be mortgaged. As for infrastructure, it depends on the specific situation. How about this, you go back and prepare some materials, including the village's financial statements and project plans, and we will study them."

Although Wang Dashan was a little disappointed, he still thanked Section Chief Zhang for his advice.

After leaving the bank, he went to the county agricultural bureau, hoping to get some policy support.

At the Agriculture Bureau, Wang Dashan met Deputy Director Li, who was in charge of rural industrial development.

After listening to his report, Deputy Director Li fully affirmed the development of Cuigu Village and expressed his support in terms of policies and technology.

"Secretary Wang, your village's green agriculture and traditional handicraft industries are very distinctive, and deep processing of agricultural products is also a good direction. Our bureau has some support projects for rural industrial development. You can go back and prepare the application materials. If you meet the requirements, you can get a certain amount of financial subsidies."

Deputy Director Li said.

Wang Dashan was overjoyed after hearing this and quickly thanked him: "Thank you so much, Deputy Director Li! This is really great news for our village. We will prepare the materials as soon as possible and try to apply for support funds."

After coming out of the Agricultural Bureau, Wang Dashan felt particularly happy.

Although there is no sign of the loan yet, the support from the Agriculture Bureau has given him hope.

He decided to go back to the village first and prepare the application materials with everyone.

After returning to the village, Wang Dashan told everyone about his experience in the county town.

After hearing this, the villagers were greatly encouraged and expressed their full support for the application.

With everyone's joint efforts, the application materials were quickly prepared.

Wang Dashan went to the county town again and submitted the materials to the Agricultural Bureau.

In the following days, Wang Dashan continued to work hard for the development of the village while waiting for the review results from the Agriculture Bureau.

He organized villagers to upgrade and renovate tourism projects, built some new homestays and farm stays, and improved accommodation and dining conditions for tourists.

At the same time, he also invited professional designers to design exquisite packaging for traditional handicrafts and registered the brand of "Cui Gu Handicraft Workshop".

Time passed day by day, and finally, Wang Dashan received a notice from the Agricultural Bureau that Cuigu Village's application materials had passed the review and successfully obtained a sum of support funds.

When the news came, the whole village was in an uproar.

The villagers cheered and told each other the news.

"Dashan, that's great! With this funding, our village will have a solution for the deep processing of agricultural products."

Uncle Li said excitedly.

Wang Dashan also smiled and said, "Yes, this is the result of everyone's joint efforts. Next, we can start building the processing plant."

Under the leadership of Wang Dashan, the villagers began to enthusiastically prepare for the construction of the processing plant.

They selected a factory site, contacted a construction team, and purchased building materials.

Everything is going on in an orderly manner.

However, just as the construction of the processing plant was about to start, new problems arose.

Some villagers in the village raised objections to the construction location of the processing plant. They were worried that the processing plant would pollute the environment and affect their lives.

"Dashan, this processing plant cannot be built near our home. When the machines start to run, not only will it be noisy, but we also don't know if it will cause any pollution."

A villager said worriedly.

Other villagers also echoed.

Wang Dashan patiently explained: "Fellow villagers, I understand your concerns. However, we have carefully considered the site we chose. It is a certain distance away from the village and will not have much impact on everyone's lives. Moreover, when we build the processing plant, we will use the most advanced environmental protection equipment to ensure that there will be no pollution to the environment."

However, the villagers were still skeptical, and for a moment, it was difficult for everyone to reach a consensus.

Wang Dashan was caught in a dilemma. If this problem could not be properly solved, the construction of the processing plant would not be able to proceed smoothly.

After returning to the village committee, Wang Dashan sat alone at his desk, thinking for a long time.

He knew that if he wanted the villagers to support the construction of the processing plant, he must make them truly understand the benefits of the processing plant and eliminate their concerns.

Therefore, Wang Dashan decided to organize a village meeting and invite environmental experts to explain environmental protection knowledge and the environmental protection measures of the processing plant.

At the conference, environmental experts introduced in detail the process flow and environmental protection technology of deep processing of agricultural products, and explained to the villagers in plain language why the processing plant would not cause pollution to the environment.

"Fellow villagers, you see, this processing plant uses advanced sewage treatment equipment. The wastewater generated during the production process can meet the discharge standards after treatment and will not pollute our rivers and soil. Moreover, the noise of the machines will be controlled by sound insulation facilities and will not affect everyone's life."

The environmental expert pointed at the drawings and explained patiently.

After listening to the expert's explanation, the villagers' doubts gradually disappeared.

A villager stood up and said, "Dashan, after listening to the experts, we feel more at ease. We support the construction of the processing plant and hope it can be completed as soon as possible so that our lives in the village can be better."

Other villagers also expressed their agreement.

Seeing the change in the villagers' attitude, Wang Dashan finally felt relieved.

He said gratefully: "Thank you for your support! With your trust, we will definitely be able to build the processing plant and take our village's industry to a higher level."

With the support of the villagers, the construction of the processing plant was finally officially started.

The construction team worked day and night, and the roar of machines echoed in the village.

Wang Dashan visits the construction site every day to check the progress and solve problems encountered in a timely manner.

He knew that this processing plant carried the hopes of the villagers, and he had to go all out to ensure the smooth completion of the project.

As the days passed, the outline of the processing plant gradually emerged.

Looking at the factory building rising from the ground, Wang Dashan's heart was full of anticipation.

He believes that in the near future, this processing plant will become a new engine for the economic development of Cuigu Village, leading the villagers to a more prosperous life.
