Chapter 713 Breathless
Today, Xiake Village has completely gotten rid of poverty and is on the road to prosperity. A spacious and bright school has been newly built in the village. Children are happily learning knowledge and pursuing their dreams in the neat classrooms. On the flat square, the elderly are strolling leisurely, chatting about family matters, with happy smiles on their faces. Looking back, those quarrels for petty gains, the despair in the face of setbacks, and the hardships in preparing projects have become history. The seemingly insurmountable disputes and difficulties have all come to an end with everyone's joint efforts.
Today's villagers have deeply understood the power of unity and cooperation, adherence to beliefs, and the courage to innovate. They are no longer the group that was short-sighted and calculative for a little benefit, but a big family with a common goal, mutual support, and courage to move forward. The sufferings in the past, like the stone that sharpens the sword, have made them stronger and more mature, and have become the source of motivation for them to move forward. Looking to the future, the road of Xiake Village will surely become wider and wider. They will rely on their wisdom and sweat to create a more brilliant tomorrow, making the name of Xiake Village a shining pearl on the road of rural revitalization, shining with the light of tenacity and hope, telling a series of legendary stories about struggle, growth and unity, and inspiring generations of Xiake Village people to climb to higher peaks, to pursue their happiness and glory, to realize those dreams that were once out of reach, to make this land always full of vitality and vitality, to become a paradise that people yearn for, to move forward steadily in the tide of the times, and to leave a unique and profound mark belonging to Xiake Village.
In the past, poverty was like a rope that tightly wrapped around every villager in Xiake Village. At that time, everyone guarded a few acres of thin land and planted traditional crops. They were exhausted all year round, but the harvest was barely enough to make a living. In order to make more money when selling grain, neighbors often argued over the price difference of a few cents, and family ties and friendships became shaky in the face of interests.
Qi Tongwei, a young man in the village, felt bad when he saw how everyone was living. He thought that he couldn't stay poor forever and had to find a way to change his life. So he asked around and heard that people outside liked to eat healthy, unpolluted food, so he thought of starting from this aspect. He took a few brave villagers and traveled all over the country, and finally introduced a high-quality wheat variety.
When they first started planting, no one knew how to grow wheat, and the yield was low. But Qi Tongwei didn't give up. He went to the city to consult agricultural experts, and brought them to the village for on-site guidance. Gradually, the villagers mastered the skills of planting, and the wheat yield gradually increased, and the quality became better and better.
With good grain, you have to be able to sell it. Qi Tongwei looked at the simple processing equipment in the village and knew that it was not enough. He took the lead in raising money, bought new processing machines, and improved the processing technology. The flour in the village used to be coarse and black, but now the processed flour is white and fine, and tastes good.
In order to make the product more attractive, Qi Tongwei also hired someone to design a new package. The package was printed with the scenery and stories of the Knight Village, which looked very unique. After the product was ready, Qi Tongwei took everyone to participate in the trade fair.
The trade fair was full of exquisite goods and eloquent salesmen. Qi Tongwei stood in front of his stall, speaking in a thick local accent and introducing the flour in a simple and unpretentious manner: "Our flour is made from wheat grown by ourselves, without adding any messy things. We eat it every day to ensure our health." As he spoke, he let everyone taste the steamed buns and cakes made with his own flour.
His simple and honest appearance and down-to-earth words touched many people. After tasting it, everyone thought it tasted really good and placed orders to buy it. In this way, the agricultural products of Xiake Village gradually became famous and the sales volume was getting better and better.
As the village developed, new problems also emerged. Several farmhouses were opened in the village. At the beginning, the business was good, but over time, in order to attract customers, some villagers started to have evil intentions. Some secretly lowered the price of meals, and some used inferior ingredients as good ones. As a result, although there were more customers, the reputation of the restaurants became worse and worse, and the village's tourism industry fell into trouble.
After Qi Tongwei found out, he immediately called a meeting of the villagers. At the meeting, everyone argued fiercely, and everyone thought they were right. Qi Tongwei listened for a long time, then stood up and said, "Think about it, we have worked hard to develop the village, and we can't ruin our reputation for the sake of this little bit of immediate benefit. We must unite and improve our quality and service, so that we can last long."
Under Qi Tongwei's persuasion, the villagers realized their mistakes, and jointly formulated rules to ensure the quality of food and fair prices. They also pooled money to repair the roads and attractions in the village, improving the tourists' experience. Slowly, the tourism industry in Xiake Village has recovered, and more and more tourists are coming here.
Today, Xiake Village has become prosperous. A brand new school has been built in the village, and children can bid farewell to the dim and dilapidated classrooms and study in spacious and bright classrooms with complete desks and chairs. The large square in the village has also been built flat and neatly, and the elderly can stroll leisurely in the square every day, chatting about family matters and basking in the sun.
Looking back, those days of quarreling over small interests and struggling in poverty were full of hardships, but it was these experiences that made the villagers understand the importance of unity and struggle. Now, everyone no longer worries about disputes over interests, and they all work together to think about how to make the village better.
All the hardships in the past have become the driving force for progress, pushing the Xiake Village forward. The road ahead is getting wider and wider under the feet of the villagers. Everyone believes that as long as they maintain this unity and hard work, the future of Xiake Village will definitely be better. The regrets and hardships in the past will become unforgettable memories in the long river of history, inspiring generations of Xiake Village people to keep forging ahead.
Night fell over the village of knights, and the drizzle fell on the bluestone road, splashing layers of mist, like a layer of gauze, adding a bit of tranquility and peace to this village that had experienced many vicissitudes. The old locust tree at the head of the village stood quietly in the wind and rain, its branches and leaves rustling, as if whispering stories of the past.
Looking back, it was a period of hardship and struggle. Poverty followed like a shadow, like a heavy mountain, pressing down on every villager and making it difficult for them to breathe.
