Chapter 689 The Hard Work Is Gone
The villagers work in the factory during the day and gather together for classes at night, creating a strong learning atmosphere.
In this process, Qi Tongwei deeply realized that the development of the village is not achieved overnight, and the balance of interests is not once and for all. Every new stage of development will breed new contradictions and problems, which requires him to always maintain a keen insight, accurately grasp the interests of all parties, and carefully maintain the hard-earned cooperative relationship.
Once, the village was hit by a sudden rainstorm, and some newly built roads collapsed, which blocked the transportation of raw materials to the factory and forced production to be suspended. The villagers looked at the destroyed roads and flooded farmland, and their mood became depressed again. Some even began to complain: "Has this factory destroyed the feng shui of our village? Why do bad things happen one after another?" The company was also anxious. On the one hand, it had to bear the losses caused by the shutdown, and on the other hand, it had to face the risk of default due to delayed order delivery.
Qi Tongwei rushed to the scene as soon as possible and organized villagers and employees to rescue and relieve the disaster. He carried sandbags, waded through muddy water, and shouted to everyone: "Don't panic! We will work together and we will definitely get through this." With his encouragement, everyone took quick action to clean up the mud on the road and repair drainage facilities. After several days and nights of hard work, the village finally resumed normal operation.
After the disaster, Qi Tongwei realized that the village's ability to resist risks needed to be improved. He began to plan to establish an emergency warning mechanism covering meteorological disasters, production accidents and other aspects. At the same time, he encouraged enterprises and villagers to jointly invest in the establishment of a risk fund to compensate for losses and restore and rebuild in case of emergencies. This move was initially questioned. The villagers were worried that their hard-earned money would be wasted, and the enterprises also felt that their operating costs had increased. However, Qi Tongwei repeatedly explained the pros and cons, and finally made everyone realize its long-term significance.
As time went by, under Qi Tongwei's careful care, the integration between the village and the factory became better and better. The villagers' income grew steadily and their quality of life improved significantly. The company also took root in the local area, gaining a good reputation and stable benefits. The village gradually became a model for rural revitalization in the surrounding areas, attracting visitors from all over the world to learn from it.
Looking back on the difficult journey, Qi Tongwei was filled with emotion. From the initial tension to the harmonious coexistence today, every step was full of challenges and difficulties. He understood that only by always adhering to the promises made to the villagers and accurately balancing the interests of all parties can the village continue to move forward on the road of development and stride towards a more prosperous future. In the process, he himself has grown into a true leader in the hearts of the villagers, writing a magnificent chapter of rural revitalization with his actions.
Qi Tongwei often stayed awake all night. He repeatedly weighed the pros and cons and thought about the future direction of the village.
At the same time, there were also differences in concepts between the young people and the older generation in the village. Most of the young people were eager to seize this opportunity to work in the new factory, get in touch with the outside world, and learn new skills; while the older generation was more attached to the land and reluctant to leave the familiar farming life. This difference gradually evolved into conflicts within the family, and quarrels could be heard from time to time in the village.
Qi Tongwei realized that to resolve these contradictions, it is necessary not only to solve practical problems but also to start from the ideological level. He visited every household, talked with young people about their ideals and the future, encouraged them to bravely pursue a new lifestyle, and promised to strive for better training opportunities and career development space for them; he talked with the older generation about the past poverty and backwardness of the village and the necessity of future development, so that they understood that land transfer does not mean losing everything, but creating wealth for the village and future generations in another way.
After long and difficult negotiations and coordination, Qi Tongwei finally reached an agreement with the company that was relatively satisfactory to the villagers. The land was reasonably compensated, the villagers not only received a considerable amount of land acquisition money, but also had priority employment in the new factory, and the company promised to provide long-term support for the village's infrastructure construction and education.
After solving the land problem, Qi Tongwei did not stop. He saw that although the education in the village had improved to a certain extent, there was still a big gap compared with the city. In order to allow the children to receive a better education, he ran around and strived for the opportunity to pair up with the village primary school in the city. Backbone teachers from the city regularly go to the village to teach, bringing advanced teaching concepts and methods; village teachers also have the opportunity to go to urban schools for further study and improve their professional level.
The learning environment for children is getting better and better, and the cultural atmosphere in the village is becoming increasingly strong. Facilities such as libraries and cultural activity rooms are constantly improving, and various cultural activities and knowledge lectures are held in the village. The villagers' mental outlook has been completely renewed, and they have begun to realize that life is not only about material abundance, but also about spiritual pursuits.
But just as the village was booming, a sudden natural disaster hit the surrounding area. Although the village was relatively lightly affected, it also faced some challenges. Some farmland was flooded, crops were damaged, and some infrastructure needed to be repaired. Qi Tongwei immediately organized the villagers to carry out self-rescue. He took the lead, jumped into the mud and water to dredge the river, and led the young people to repair roads and bridges.
In the mud and water, Qi Tongwei's figure was resolute and courageous. He waved a shovel and shoveled up mud. Beads of sweat rolled down his forehead and flowed down his cheeks mixed with mud and water. Inspired by him, the villagers joined the self-rescue team. Young people carried sandbags and ran between the embankment and the river. Women formed a logistics team to boil water, cook and prepare supplies for everyone. At that moment, the whole village worked together to resist the natural disaster.
After several days and nights of hard work, the emergency situation in the village was initially alleviated. The water in the farmland gradually receded, and although the roads and bridges were still somewhat damaged, they were barely passable. However, just when everyone thought the crisis was about to pass, they found that the follow-up effects of the disaster were quietly growing.
As farmland was flooded, soil fertility was greatly damaged. Large areas of crops that were about to be harvested fell and rotted. The villagers looked at the mess in their fields with sorrow. Planting in spring and harvesting in autumn are their hope and livelihood throughout the year. Now facing reduced production or even no harvest, anxiety and helplessness spread among the people. Uncle Wang squatted by the field, stroking the fallen rice ears with trembling hands, tears streaming down his face: "What can I do? A year's hard work is gone. How can I live in the future..."
