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

Under the leadership of Wang Dashan, all undertakings in Cuigu Village are booming, but Wang Dashan knows well that the road to development will not always be smooth.

That morning, before the mist had completely dissipated, Wang Dashan had already patrolled the village.

He passed by the newly built cultural square, looked at the fitness equipment and stage on the square, imagined the lively scene here in the future, and a gratified smile appeared on his face.

But soon, his expression became serious again, because he knew that there was still a lot of work waiting for him to do.

When I got home, Xiulan had already prepared breakfast.

"Dashan, come and have dinner. I see you went out again so early in the morning."

Xiulan said with heartache.

Wang Dashan sat down at the table and said to Xiulan while eating, "Our village is developing well now, but we can't relax. Yesterday, the cooperative enterprise contacted me again and said that the market demand for our agricultural products is still increasing. We have to find a way to expand production."

Xiulan nodded. "Yes, but expanding production is not an easy task. We have to worry about manpower, capital, and technology."

"I know, so I have to discuss this with everyone."

After Wang Dashan finished his breakfast in a hurry, he walked towards the village committee.

In the village committee, the village cadres have all arrived.

Wang Dashan told everyone about the requirements of the cooperative enterprise and his own ideas.

"Expanding production is a good thing, but we don't have enough manpower."

Uncle Zhao said with a frown.

"Why don't we mobilize the young people in the village to come back and help? Now that the village is developing well, maybe we can attract them to come back."

Teacher Liu suggested.

Xiao Li also continued: "I think it's feasible. I can contact some classmates who are working outside and tell them about the changes in the village."

Wang Dashan thought for a while and said, "This is a solution, but manpower alone is not enough. We need to introduce some new equipment to improve production efficiency. But buying equipment requires a lot of money, so we have to think of a solution."

Everyone was discussing the topic, and suddenly, Wang Dashan remembered a county leader whom he had met at a previous agricultural product fair.

"I have an idea. Director Li, whom I met at the trade fair before, has always been concerned about the development of our village. Maybe he can help us get some support funds."

"That's great, Secretary Wang, please contact them right away."

Uncle Zhao said excitedly.

After the meeting, Wang Dashan immediately called Director Li and explained the village’s situation and needs in detail.

Director Li said that he would report the matter to his superiors and try to give a reply as soon as possible.

In the next few days, while waiting for news from the county, Wang Dashan and the villagers prepared to expand production.

He inspected the farmland with the growers and planned how to expand the planting area; he also went to the processing plant to discuss with the workers how to optimize the production process.

On this day, Wang Dashan was busy in the processing plant when Xiao Li hurried in.

"Secretary Wang, there's news from the county!"

Wang Dashan immediately stopped what he was doing and said, "How's it going, Xiao Li? Tell me now."

"Director Li said that the higher authorities attach great importance to the development of our village and decided to give us some support funds to purchase equipment and technical training."

Xiao Li said excitedly.

Wang Dashan patted Xiao Li's shoulder happily and said, "Great! This is really timely relief. Let's quickly tell everyone the good news."

When the villagers heard the news, they cheered.

Everyone became more motivated and expressed their willingness to contribute to the development of the village.

In the process of purchasing equipment, Wang Dashan encountered new problems.

There are many types of equipment on the market, with varying quality and prices, making it difficult to choose.

Wang Dashan decided to go and investigate in person.

He took Xiao Li and a technical expert from the village and set off for the county town.

Along the way, they discussed the pros and cons of various devices.

When they arrived in the county town, they first went to an agricultural machinery sales company.

The salesperson enthusiastically introduced various equipment to them.

"This seed drill is the latest model, highly efficient, and easy to operate. It is very suitable for use in your rural areas."

The salesperson pointed to a machine and said.

Wang Dashan observed the machine carefully and asked about various parameters and prices.

"This machine looks good, but the price is a bit high. Can you give me a discount?"

The salesperson smiled and said, "This is already our lowest price, but since you are a rural cooperative, we can give you some accessories."

Wang Dashan and Xiao Li looked at each other and continued to bargain with the salesperson.

After some effort, I finally got a more reasonable price.

Next, they visited several companies and compared different brands and models of equipment.

During the inspection, Wang Dashan also consulted other farmers who had purchased the equipment to understand the actual use of the equipment.

After several days of investigation, Wang Dashan finally selected a batch of equipment suitable for use in the village.

When signing the purchase contract, Wang Dashan said to the salesperson seriously: "We buy these equipment to develop rural production. You must ensure the quality of the equipment and after-sales service."

The salesperson nodded quickly, "Don't worry, we will definitely guarantee the quality and solve any problems in a timely manner."

After the equipment was purchased, a new challenge arose - how to enable the villagers to master the operation of these new equipment.

Wang Dashan invited technical personnel from the equipment manufacturer to provide training for the villagers.

At the training site, technicians explained in detail the operation methods and precautions of the equipment.

The villagers gathered around, listening attentively and asking questions from time to time.

"Master, what if this machine breaks down?"

a villager asked.

The technician patiently replied: "There is a fault indicator light on the machine. Once a problem occurs, the indicator light will light up. You can refer to the manual to find the cause of the fault, or contact our after-sales service directly."

Wang Dashan was also studying seriously. He listened and took notes.

He knew that only if he mastered these technologies first could he better lead the villagers to use these equipment.

During the training process, Wang Dashan found that some older villagers had poor comprehension and found it difficult to learn.

He took the initiative to walk over to them and taught them how to operate it step by step.

"Uncle Li, look, this button is the start button. Press it and the machine will start working."

Wang Dashan said patiently.

Uncle Li tried to press the button, and the machine started. He laughed happily, "Dashan, thanks to you, otherwise I really wouldn't be able to learn this thing."

After several days of training, most villagers have mastered the operation of the new equipment.

Watching the villagers operating the machines skillfully, Wang Dashan felt filled with a sense of accomplishment.

However, just when everyone thought everything was moving in the right direction, a sudden outbreak of pests and diseases attacked the village's farmland.

Large tracts of crops turned yellow and withered, and the villagers were anxious as they watched the crops they had worked so hard to grow suffer the consequences.

After Wang Dashan learned the news, he rushed to the farmland as soon as possible.

He looked at the damaged crops with a frown.

"Don't panic, I will contact agricultural experts right away to see if there is any solution."

Wang Dashan immediately called the agricultural experts he had invited earlier and described the symptoms of the crops in detail.

Experts said they would arrive as soon as possible.

While waiting for experts, Wang Dashan organized the villagers to save themselves.

He led everyone to clean up the diseased plants to prevent the further spread of pests and diseases.

"Everyone should clean up these diseased plants and destroy them in a centralized manner. We must not allow pests and diseases to spread to other farmlands."

Wang Dashan was directing everyone while working.

The villagers took action one after another. Although they were full of worries, under the leadership of Wang Dashan, everyone carried out the self-rescue work in an orderly manner.

Soon, agricultural experts arrived.

He carefully examined the affected crops and then prescribed a treatment plan.

"This is a common pest and disease. It can be controlled as long as the medicine is used in time. I will give you a prescription. You can buy the medicine according to this and then spray it as soon as possible."

Wang Dashan took the prescription and quickly arranged for Xiao Li to go to the county town to buy medicine.

With everyone's joint efforts, pests and diseases were finally brought under control, and crops gradually recovered.

After this test of pests and diseases, Wang Dashan realized that the risks of agricultural production cannot be ignored.

He decided to strengthen agricultural technology training in the village to improve the villagers' ability to deal with natural disasters and pests and diseases.
