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

Chapter 389: Working Together to Create a New Scroll

Under the leadership of Wang Dashan, Cui Gu Village has overcome difficulties time and time again and all undertakings have moved forward steadily.

But Wang Dashan always kept a clear head. He knew very well that the development of the village was like rowing against the current, and if he did not move forward, he would fall behind.

On a sunny afternoon, Wang Dashan gathered the young people in the village to the cultural room, intending to discuss with them the future development direction of the village.

In the cultural room, everyone sat together and the atmosphere was lively.

Wang Dashan cleared his throat, looked at every young person present, and said earnestly: "Children, the achievements of Cuigu Village today are inseparable from everyone's efforts. But we can't be satisfied with this, we have to think about how to go next. The world outside is changing with each passing day, and we have to keep up with the pace of the times."

Young Xiao Li spoke first. He fiddled with a pen in his hand, with a look of enthusiasm in his eyes: "Uncle Dashan, I think we can use the Internet to promote our village's tourism resources and handicrafts more widely. Nowadays, people in the city love to surf the Internet. If we take more beautiful photos and videos and put them online, it will definitely attract more people."

Wang Dashan nodded slightly, with an approving look in his eyes: "Xiao Li, your idea is good. But there are not many people in our village who understand the Internet, so we need to strengthen our study in this area. I heard that there are Internet training classes in the county, and we can send people to learn."

At this time, Xiaoyan, who had been sitting in the corner, said softly: "Uncle Dashan, I think we can also explore the historical and cultural stories of the village and integrate them into tourism projects. When tourists come here, they can not only see the scenery and do handicrafts, but also learn about the past of our village, which will enrich the tourism experience."

Wang Dashan's eyes lit up and he said excitedly, "Xiaoyan, this is a great idea! Our village has a long history and there must be many interesting stories. We can organize some elderly people to tell these stories and compile them into a book, which we can give to tourists when they come."

The discussion lasted for a long time, with everyone contributing and coming up with many new ideas.

Wang Dashan listened carefully and took notes in his notebook from time to time.

After the meeting, Wang Dashan formulated a detailed development plan based on everyone’s suggestions.

First, he selected several young people with a solid foundation, including Xiao Li, to go to the county to attend Internet training courses.

These young people embarked on their learning journey with great anticipation. In the training classes, they eagerly learned Internet knowledge, not missing out on any knowledge point from website construction to social media operation.

Xiao Li encountered many difficulties in the learning process, such as writing website codes, which always gave him a headache.

But he did not give up. He returned to the dormitory at night and continued to study it over and over again.

He called Wang Dashan, his voice filled with distress: "Uncle Dashan, this code is too difficult. I feel like my brain is not enough."

Wang Dashan encouraged him on the other end of the phone: "Xiao Li, don't worry, learn slowly. If you encounter something you don't understand, ask the teacher, and you can communicate with each other more. The Internet is an important tool for the future development of our village, so you must learn it well."

With Wang Dashan's encouragement, Xiao Li and his companions persevered. After a month of hard study, they finally mastered basic Internet skills and returned to Cuigu Village with confidence.

At the same time, Xiaoyan and a few friends began to go from village to village, visit the elderly in the village, and collect historical and cultural stories.

They came to Uncle Zhang's house. Uncle Zhang was over 80 years old and in good spirits.

Xiaoyan sat next to Uncle Zhang and said with a smile: "Uncle Zhang, please tell us about the past of our village."

Uncle Zhang narrowed his eyes and fell into memories: "At that time, our village was poor and everyone made a living by farming. One year there was a drought and the crops were almost dying. Everyone worked together to carry water from a distant river to irrigate the fields to preserve the harvest. Another time, a wandering craftsman came to the village and taught everyone how to weave bamboo baskets. This is how we got the bamboo weaving craft we have today."

Xiaoyan and her friends recorded these stories carefully. Although these stories are simple, they are full of the tenacious spirit of the people of Cui Gu Village.

After a period of hard work, they compiled a thick collection of stories from Cui Gu Village.

While the young people were busy studying and collecting stories, Wang Dashan was also busy.

Together with the village cadres, he further improved the village's tourism facilities.

They set up detailed signboards at the main scenic spots in the village, which not only provide introductions to the attractions, but also a brief summary of the village’s historical and cultural stories.

Wang Dashan also contacted some cultural experts and invited them to Cui Gu Village to provide guidance on how to better integrate historical culture into tourism projects.

After arriving at Cui Gu Village, the experts were full of praise for the village’s natural scenery and cultural heritage.

An expert said: "Secretary Wang, your village is rich in resources. You should make full use of these advantages. For example, you can set up some interactive links in the tourist route to let tourists experience the living scenes of the villagers in person."

After listening to this, Wang Dashan was deeply inspired.

After discussing with the village cadres, he decided to build a simulated traditional farming scene on a vacant lot in the village so that tourists can experience farming activities such as plowing and sowing.

At the same time, some historical and cultural display areas have been added to the village’s handicraft production sites to showcase the tools and works of past craftsmen.

After everything was ready, Cui Gu Village ushered in a new tourist peak season.

On this day, the entrance to the village was full of cars, and a group of tourists walked into the village under the guidance of a tour guide.

Xiao Li and his companions had already fully promoted this peak tourist season on the Internet, attracting many tourists.

The tourists first came to the simulated farming scene. They picked up the farm tools curiously and tried to plow the land under the guidance of the farmer.

A little boy said excitedly: "Mom and Dad, I have never done this before, it's so fun!"

Next, the tourists came to the handicraft production site.

Xiaoyan stood in the historical and cultural exhibition area, enthusiastically explaining to tourists the development history of Cuigu Village's handicrafts.

The tourists listened with great interest and exclaimed in admiration from time to time.

During the tour, tourists also received the "Cui Gu Village Story Collection". While touring, they read the stories of the village, as if they had traveled through time and space and returned to the past.

During this peak tourist season, the number of tourists received by Cuigu Village has increased significantly compared with previous years, and tourism revenue has also increased significantly.

The villagers' faces were filled with joyful smiles. They knew that all this was inseparable from Wang Dashan's leadership and everyone's joint efforts.

However, Wang Dashan was not dazzled by his current achievements.

He knew that various problems would be encountered during the development process.

For example, with the increase in the number of tourists, the village's environmental sanitation and service quality face new challenges.

Wang Dashan called the villagers to a meeting again. He said with a serious expression: "Fellow villagers, our village is becoming more and more popular, but this has also brought us new problems. We must keep the village clean and tidy to leave a good impression on tourists. Also, when serving tourists, everyone should be warm and thoughtful, not perfunctory."

A villager said: "There are too many tourists in the mountains, and there is too much garbage. Our cleaning staff are a bit overwhelmed."

Wang Dashan thought for a moment and said, "Let's mobilize the volunteers in the village to form an environmental protection team to help clean up the garbage every day. In addition, we will train the service staff to improve their service level."

Under the organization of Wang Dashan, an environmental protection group was quickly established.

Young people in the village signed up to participate. Every day, they patrolled the village with garbage bags and tools to clean up the garbage.

At the same time, the training of service staff is also proceeding in an orderly manner. Everyone is learning how to communicate with tourists and how to deal with tourists' problems.

After a period of hard work, the environmental sanitation of Cui Gu Village has been significantly improved, and the quality of service has also been greatly improved.

Tourists’ opinions on Cui Gu Village are getting better and better. After leaving, many tourists share their travel experiences online, providing free publicity for Cui Gu Village.
