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

Chapter 403: Perseverance in the Storm

While Cuigu Village was vigorously promoting the construction of an agricultural product processing plant and the development of agricultural product tourist souvenirs, a sudden storm broke the tranquility of the village.

It was a sultry afternoon, the sky was suddenly covered with dark clouds and strong winds blew.

Wang Dashan was discussing some details of the processing plant with the construction team leader Lao Zhang at the construction site. The strong wind blew some of the simple sheds on the construction site to the point of being shaken.

"Oh no, this storm is coming too fast!"

Wang Dashan looked solemn, and immediately shouted, "Everyone, stop what you are doing and reinforce these temporary facilities first, so as not to let the storm destroy them!"

Lao Zhang also responded quickly and directed the construction workers to take action.

Some of them went to find ropes, while others helped carry heavy objects to hold down the corners of the shed.

Wang Dashan personally climbed up a higher makeshift shed and pulled the rope tight. The howling wind made it almost impossible for him to stand.

"Secretary Wang, please come down quickly, it's too dangerous!"

The workers below shouted anxiously.

"It's okay, I'll tie this last part and then go down!"

Wang Dashan gritted his teeth and completed the reinforcement work with great difficulty in the strong wind.

Bean-sized raindrops poured down with the strong wind, and the entire construction site was in chaos.

While Wang Dashan was organizing everyone to evacuate to a safe area, he was still worried about the situation in other parts of the village.

"Lao Zhang, you guys take shelter here first, I have to go to the village to take a look!"

Wang Dashan wiped the rain off his face, turned around and rushed into the rain.

He ran in the mud, one step deep and one step shallow, and first arrived at the village school.

The school building looked a little flimsy in the wind and rain, and rain kept seeping in from the cracks in the roof.

"Teacher Liu! Teacher Liu!"

Wang Dashan shouted loudly.

Teacher Liu ran out of the classroom, saw Wang Dashan, and said anxiously: "Secretary Wang, it's raining too hard, it seems the roof can't hold up!"

Wang Dashan looked up at the roof, anxious.

He immediately said to Teacher Liu, "Quick, organize the children to go to a relatively safe classroom. I will find some tools to repair the roof."

As he said this, he ran to the village warehouse in the wind and rain to find some tarpaulin and tools.

When he returned to school again, he was soaked and shivering with cold.

"Secretary Wang, please take a rest first. You are so cold."

Teacher Liu said with concern.

"No, if the roof is not repaired, the children will be in danger."

As Wang Dashan said this, he climbed onto the roof.

In the wind and rain, he struggled to cover the leaking area with tarpaulin and fixed it with tools.

Every movement seemed so difficult, but he did not flinch at all.

After some effort, the roof stopped leaking temporarily.

Wang Dashan came down from the roof and just walked into the classroom when he heard a child shouting, "Secretary Wang, you are so nice!"

Wang Dashan smiled tiredly, touched the child's head and said, "It's good that the children are all okay. Don't be afraid, everything will be fine after the rain stops."

After leaving school, Wang Dashan rushed to the homes of several elderly widows and widowers in the village.

He saw that the yard of Grandma Li's house was full of water and the door was rattling due to the strong wind.

"Grandma Li, don't be afraid, I'm here!"

Wang Dashan rushed into the house, helped Grandma Li to the inner room, and then went out to check the situation.

He found that the drainage pipe in the yard was clogged with debris, so he cleared the pipe with his hands, regardless of the stench of sewage.

"Dashan, you are such a good kid. In such a heavy rain, you still think of us old ladies."

Grandma Li said with emotion in the house.

"Grandma Li, this is what I should do. Don't worry, it will be fine in a moment."

Wang Dashan said as he cleaned.

By the time he finished cleaning the pipe, the rain had finally subsided.

Wang Dashan dragged his tired body back to the village committee, where the village cadres were already waiting for him.

"Secretary Wang, you are finally back. We were so worried about you."

Xiao Li came forward and his eyes turned red when he saw Wang Dashan’s miserable appearance.

"I'm fine. How's everyone? Is the rest of the village badly affected?"

Wang Dashan didn't care about himself and asked quickly.

Uncle Zhao sighed and said: "Some farmland was flooded, some roads in the village were washed away, and several villagers' houses were slightly damaged."

Wang Dashan frowned and said, "Don't worry, let's quickly count the damage and then find a solution."

Therefore, the village cadres split into several groups and began to conduct a detailed statistics of the disaster situation in the village.

Wang Dashan sat in the village committee office, thinking about countermeasures.

He knew that this storm had brought considerable obstacles to the development of Cui Valley Village, but he would never give up easily.

In the evening, the statistical results came out.

Looking at the report in his hand, Wang Dashan felt very heavy.

The affected area of ​​farmland is quite large, which means that the supply of raw materials to agricultural product processing plants may be affected; the destroyed roads have affected the traffic in the village and will also have an impact on rural tourism; and the villagers’ houses have been damaged and need to be repaired as soon as possible.

"Comrades, although we have encountered difficulties, this is only temporary. We must act as soon as possible to resume production and rebuild our homes."

Wang Dashan looked at everyone and said firmly.

"Secretary Wang, we listen to you and will do whatever you say!"

Everyone expressed their opinions.

"First, we need to organize villagers to clear the accumulated water in the farmland and save as many crops as possible. At the same time, we need to contact the agricultural department to see if there are any remedial measures. Secondly, we need to arrange personnel to repair the damaged houses as soon as possible so that the villagers will not be left homeless. Finally, the road repair work cannot be delayed, as it is related to the external transportation and tourism development of our village."

Wang Dashan arranged the work in an orderly manner.

"Secretary Wang, what about the construction of agricultural product processing plants and the development of tourist souvenirs?"

Teacher Liu asked.

"We cannot stop these two tasks. We must continue to push forward while overcoming difficulties. I believe that as long as we unite as one, there is no difficulty that cannot be overcome."

Wang Dashan said with a firm look.

After the meeting, Wang Dashan came to the construction site of the agricultural products processing plant.

Although the storm has passed, the scene is still in a mess.

The workers of the construction team were cleaning the site. When they saw Wang Dashan coming, they all gathered around him.

"Secretary Wang, this storm has ruined several days of our work."

A worker said frustratedly.

"Don't be discouraged, this is only temporary. Let's work together to make up for the lost time."

Wang Dashan encouraged, "Everyone is tired after a day's work. Go back and rest first. We will start again tomorrow."

After leaving the construction site, Wang Dashan went to several farmhouses in the village.

He saw the bosses were busy cleaning up items soaked by rain, their faces full of worry.

"Boss Wang, what's the situation?"

Wang Dashan walked into a farm house and asked.

"Secretary Wang, the rain came too suddenly. Many ingredients have been soaked and spoiled. Our business will definitely be affected in the next few days."

Boss Wang said helplessly.

"Don't worry, we'll find a solution together. First, you can take a count of the damage and see how much money is needed to replenish the food. The village will find a way to help everyone solve it."

Wang Dashan comforted.

After leaving the farm house, Wang Dashan walked around the village. Looking at the village ravaged by the storm, he secretly made up his mind to lead the villagers through this difficult time and bring new life to Cui Gu Village.

When I got home, it was already late at night.

After a simple wash, Wang Dashan lay on the bed, but he couldn't fall asleep.

He was thinking about the various difficulties in the village and the future development, and before he knew it, daybreak had arrived.

It was a new day and Wang Dashan threw himself into his work with full energy again.

He organized the villagers to form several mutual aid groups to work together to clean up farmland, repair houses, and repair roads.

Under his leadership, the restoration work of Cuigu Village is proceeding in an orderly manner...
