Chapter 884 Scars of Time
There are more traces of time on his face, but his eyes are still full of firm belief in the future of Xiangyang Village.
It is another golden autumn, and Xiangyang Village has ushered in the harvest season. The golden wheat waves are undulating in the breeze, the orchards are full of fruits, and the vegetables in the farmland are lush and green.
The villagers are all filled with happy smiles, all of which are inseparable from Qi Tongwei's efforts and dedication over the years. He has grown from a young man who led the villagers to start a business to the mainstay of the village's development. The years have left traces on his face, but his firm belief in the future of Xiangyang Village has never changed.
However, there are always unexpected events. A sudden rainstorm broke the tranquility and peace of the village. For several days and nights, the rain poured down, the river water rose rapidly, overflowed the embankment, and rushed towards Xiangyang Village. Wherever the flood went, houses were washed away, crops were submerged, and the lives and property of the villagers were seriously threatened.
Qi Tongwei quickly organized a flood relief team as soon as he learned about the flood. He stood at the entrance of the village and shouted loudly and firmly: "Fellow villagers, the flood is coming, but as long as we are united, no difficulties can defeat us! Everyone listen to my command and move the elderly and children to a safe place first!" At his call, the young and middle-aged people in the village responded one after another. They rushed to the worst-hit areas regardless of their own safety.
Qi Tongwei personally led a team to search for trapped people from house to house. They waded through waist-deep floodwaters and moved forward with difficulty. At each house, Qi Tongwei shouted loudly: "Is anyone there? Come out quickly, the flood is dangerous!" In a house that was about to be washed away by the flood, they found an elderly man with limited mobility. Qi Tongwei carried the elderly man on his back without hesitation, and with the help of his teammates, he safely transferred the elderly man to the resettlement site.
At the resettlement site, Qi Tongwei was busy organizing volunteers to distribute food and drinking water to the affected people. He looked at the frightened villagers and comforted them: "Don't be afraid, the government is already trying to find a solution, and relief supplies will arrive soon. We must believe that difficulties are only temporary, and we will definitely be able to rebuild our homes!"
However, the flood was getting more and more intense, and the rescue work encountered many difficulties. The roads were washed away, the rescue materials could not be delivered in time, and the communication was interrupted, and they lost contact with the outside world. Faced with this series of difficulties, Qi Tongwei did not back down at all. Relying on his familiarity with the terrain around the village for many years, he led the villagers to find other feasible rescue channels.
While searching for a passage, Qi Tongwei accidentally discovered a farm surrounded by floods. The farm raised many livestock that villagers depended on for survival. If these livestock were washed away by the flood, it would cause huge economic losses to the villagers. Qi Tongwei was extremely anxious and immediately organized people to carry out rescue. However, the flood was turbulent and rescue was extremely difficult.
Just when everyone felt desperate, Qi Tongwei suddenly thought of a solution. He asked everyone to find some wood and ropes in the village and make a simple raft. Then, he led a few brave villagers and drove the raft to the farm. In the flood, the raft was in danger of being overturned at any time, but Qi Tongwei was not afraid. He held the rope of the raft tightly and directed everyone to move forward. After some hard work, they finally successfully reached the farm and transferred all the livestock to a safe area.
As time went by, the flood still showed no signs of receding. Qi Tongwei knew that this was not a solution and he had to get in touch with the outside world as soon as possible to get more rescue forces. So he decided to venture out to find a communication signal. He took a satellite phone and walked alone to a higher place. Along the way, he overcame many difficulties and was knocked down by the flood countless times, but he never gave up.
Finally, on the top of a mountain, Qi Tongwei found a weak communication signal. He immediately called the government's rescue phone number and reported the disaster situation in Xiangyang Village. After the government learned the news, it quickly dispatched a large number of rescue teams and supplies to Xiangyang Village.
With the help of the rescue team, Xiangyang Village's flood control and disaster relief work has achieved a phased victory. The flood gradually receded, and the villagers began to rebuild their homes. Qi Tongwei immediately devoted himself to the reconstruction work. He organized the villagers to clean up the silt, repair houses, and replant crops. Under his leadership, the reconstruction work of Xiangyang Village proceeded in an orderly manner.
In this battle against floods and disaster relief, Qi Tongwei fully demonstrated his leadership and heroic qualities. He tied his own interests closely to those of the village and the villagers, and rushed to the front regardless of his personal safety. His behavior was unanimously praised and respected by the villagers, and also made everyone more confident in the future of Xiangyang Village.
However, there are also some doubts behind this. Some people think that Qi Tongwei works so hard for his own reputation and interests, and is just putting on a show. Faced with these doubts, Qi Tongwei just smiled faintly: "I don't care what others say, I only know that everything I do is for Xiangyang Village and for the villagers here. As long as the village can get better and the villagers can live a happy life, no matter how much I pay, it is worth it."
As time goes by, Xiangyang Village gradually regains its former vitality. Newly built houses are neatly arranged, roads are wide and flat, and crops are growing vigorously. The faces of the villagers are filled with happy smiles again. And Qi Tongwei is still silently contributing his strength to the development of the village. He knows that the road ahead is still long, and there will be more difficulties and challenges waiting for them, but as long as everyone is united, nothing can stop Xiangyang Village from moving forward.
On a quiet night, Qi Tongwei came to the river at the entrance of the village alone. Looking at the sparkling river water, his thoughts drifted back to the thrilling flood relief. He knew that life was like the river water, with calm times and turbulent times. In the face of difficulties and challenges, only by firming up your faith and moving forward courageously can you write your own glorious chapter.
The moonlight shone on him, lengthening his figure.

Since the completion of flood control, disaster relief and post-disaster reconstruction work, Xiangyang Village has gradually recovered under the leadership of Qi Tongwei, but doubts have always followed.
