Chapter 703: Serious Competition

Qi Tongwei suppressed his inner grief, knowing that he had to be the backbone of the group at this moment. He quickly organized young and middle-aged laborers to drain water and rescue wheat, comfort women and children, and stabilize everyone's emotions.

After the rain stopped, Qi Tongwei immediately contacted the agricultural insurance company to seek compensation, and reported the situation to the relevant government departments to seek technical support and disaster relief supplies. At the same time, he encouraged everyone to cheer up: "Fellow villagers, we have come a long way and have seen all kinds of storms. This is just a temporary setback. As long as we don't give up, we will definitely get through it!"

With the help of all parties, the village slowly recovered. The villagers regained their confidence, sowed again in the fields, and took better care of each wheat seedling. The processing plant also worked overtime to make up for the losses. After this disaster, the village became more united, and everyone knew that on the way back to destiny, as long as they worked together, there would be no difficulties that could not be overcome.

As time goes by, the village not only thrives in agricultural product processing, but also expands eco-tourism projects. They use the surrounding mountain and water resources to develop hiking routes and camping bases, where tourists can experience farming and enjoy the beauty of nature. Qi Tongwei looks at the increasingly prosperous village with a look of satisfaction in his eyes.

Once upon a time, they struggled in the mud and shed countless sweat and tears for the sake of survival and development; now, with their wisdom and courage, they have overcome numerous difficulties and made the village shine brightly.

Now, they have worked together to create a smooth road, and the village is like a rising star, shining brightly.

As the village's agricultural product processing industry flourishes, eco-tourism projects are also in full swing. Tourists come from all directions, strolling along the field paths, breathing the air with the fragrance of soil, and experiencing the fun of sowing and harvesting; at night, they set up tents at the camping base, fall asleep to the chirping of insects and birds, and are gently awakened by the first ray of sunshine in the morning, enjoying the gifts of nature.

However, the road to success is never smooth, and undercurrents surge beneath the calm. After the village became famous, some unscrupulous businessmen came up with crooked ideas. A group of outsiders attempted to purchase the village's brand usage rights at a low price, and sold inferior agricultural products outside under the banner of the village to make huge profits. They found Qi Tongwei and hypocritically extended an olive branch: "Village Chief Qi, your village has developed so well, and everyone is exhausted. Why don't you sell the brand to us, and you can sit back and enjoy the fruits of your labor and make a lot of money easily."

Qi Tongwei saw through their conspiracy at a glance and refused righteously: "Our brand was nurtured by our fellow villagers with countless sweat and hard work, how can we sell it to you to destroy it!" Seeing that soft tactics didn't work, the group began to use hard tactics and spread rumors everywhere, saying that the village's agricultural product processing was unhygienic and that the tourism projects had safety hazards, in an attempt to discredit the village and deter tourists and customers.

For a time, the reputation of the village was hit, orders decreased, and the number of tourists also declined. The villagers were worried and gathered together to discuss: "What should we do? Are the results we worked so hard for going to be destroyed by these bad guys?" Qi Tongwei looked at everyone's anxious expressions and said calmly: "Fellow villagers, don't panic! They think that a few rumors can defeat us, which is simply a dream. We are upright and have nothing to fear. As long as we can show evidence and let everyone see our sincerity and efforts, the rumors will fall apart on their own."

Therefore, Qi Tongwei led the villagers to take action. They invited professional institutions to inspect the agricultural product processing workshop, recorded the whole process, and published the inspection report and video on the Internet; for tourism projects, they strengthened safety management, added signboards and protective facilities, and invited tourists to supervise on site. At the same time, the villagers spontaneously formed a propaganda team to go to surrounding cities to tell the development history of the village, show the quality of agricultural products and the characteristics of tourism projects.

With everyone's joint efforts, the truth gradually came to light, and tourists and customers began to return. This incident made the village more united, and everyone knew that in this ever-changing "jianghu", only by adhering to morality and protecting their homes with sincerity and hard work can they gain a firm foothold.

As time goes by, the village continues to move forward. They cooperate with scientific research institutions to develop more high-quality agricultural derivatives; tourism projects are also constantly upgraded, and a folk culture display area has been added, where tourists can enjoy ancient farming skills performances and make traditional handicrafts by themselves. Qi Tongwei watched the village move towards glory step by step, with tears in his eyes.

The sweat and tears of the past have turned into the laughter and joy of today; the confusion and struggle of the past have forged the firm confidence of today.

In order to sell grain, Qi Tongwei led the villagers to the market before dawn, pulling carts and carrying sacks. The road was bumpy, the grain was scattered, and people looked down on them. When planting, they did not know the technology, applied too much fertilizer and burned the seedlings, and used the wrong pesticides and destroyed the land. Everyone was full of bitterness, looking at the wilted crops, tears welled up in their eyes.

But they refused to accept their fate. Qi Tongwei went to study and invited experts to improve the soil and optimize planting. During the harvest season, the warehouse was full of grain, but they encountered sales difficulties. The buyers lowered the price, and the villagers were anxious and argued fiercely. Qi Tongwei gritted his teeth and looked for another way out. He plunged into the world of e-commerce and did everything himself, from registering a store to taking product photos.

Later, floods destroyed their hopes, mature wheat fell down, and the processing plant stopped working. But the people were not defeated, and they supported each other to rebuild their homes. After overcoming the difficulties, the deep processing of agricultural products has improved, and eco-tourism has also flourished.

The village is like the rivers and lakes, with stormy waves as well as chivalrous spirit.

This land is like a world full of friendship and challenges. They have come this far, going through countless storms, and every step is filled with the villagers' persistent pursuit of a better life.

Back then, after the village was ravaged by the rainstorm, everyone was heartbroken, but they did not lose heart. In the days of re-sowing, the villagers seemed to be carrying the dream of rebirth, carrying hoes to the fields before dawn every day. Grandpa Zhang is over 70 years old and could have enjoyed his old age at home, but he insisted on working with the young people. His rough hands carefully held the wheat seeds, as if holding the hope of the whole village, and he kept saying: "This wheat grain is our lifeblood, we must take good care of it." The young people are even more motivated. Zhao Gang shuttled through the fields every day, carefully checking the growth of the wheat seedlings. Once he found signs of diseases and insect pests, he immediately ran back to the village to consult experts, and then came back to treat them without stopping. That seriousness seemed to be guarding the most precious treasure.
