In spring, when everything comes back to life, I believe that if we unite as one and, with the nourishment of the rain, our project will flourish and be truly inspiring.
Therefore, today's groundbreaking ceremony will not be deterred by the rain; on the contrary, we are delighted by the prospect of rain and filled with boundless enthusiasm. Today, I will stand here with you all, starting from this very land, to build our new home in Meilin Village.
Li Xiuyuan's words were powerful and stirring up the emotions of everyone present. The spring rain, which was originally a bit chilly, felt warmer after Li Xiuyuan spoke. They took a deep breath of the early spring air and felt the vitality.
"The day of Chujiu, I believe, will be etched in the history of our Meilin Village. The transformation of our Meilin Village begins on this day. Now, I announce..."
Li Xiuyuan's voice rose a few decibels, and through the sound system, it seemed to resonate directly in everyone's hearts.
"The groundbreaking ceremony for the new rural construction project in Meilin Village is officially underway!"
As Li Xiuyuan finished speaking, applause and firecrackers erupted at the scene.
The sounds of various construction machines starting up mingled with applause and firecrackers, instantly bringing the scene to life and dispelling the previous subdued atmosphere of oppression.
"Start construction."
"Start construction."
"Start construction."
I don't know who shouted first, but it was three times in a row, deafening and soaring into the sky.
The entire Blackwater River embankment became a huge construction site. Three dredgers began working, with the cutter head slowly extending into the underwater silt. Then, the slurry was transported through pipes to a silt solidification center hundreds of meters away.
Several excavators have also begun dredging operations in suitable sections of the river...
The workers each performed their duties. Li Xiuyuan, of course, did not directly join the work on site with his tools; there was no need for that, as he was not a professional. Instead, he directed the work from the site.
We can communicate anytime. This is a huge project involving hundreds of people and so much construction machinery. Whether Zhou Jianzhong can coordinate it is a question, and whether he can make decisions when problems arise is also a question.
The rain was still falling, but it didn't get heavier. The atmosphere was very lively, and no one felt cold or anything like that.
Amidst a cacophony of voices, around 10 p.m., Li Xiuyuan instructed Zhou Jianzhong to prepare some ginger soup on-site. After all, it was raining, and while passion was one thing, physical health was another.
Zhou Jianzhong immediately made arrangements. After the ginger soup was prepared, everyone took turns drinking it. The construction site was never idle. Zhou Jianzhong also brought a pot to Li Xiuyuan and others. Li Xiuyuan also took it and drank it to warm his body.
By noon, the rain finally stopped. The place to eat was at the village committee office. In this village, only one meal a day is provided for working. After all, there are hundreds of people working here, and the wages are not small. If two meals were provided, it would increase the expenses considerably.
Zhou Jianzhong said he had cooked at home and asked Li Xiuyuan to come over, but Li Xiuyuan insisted on eating from the communal pot. Wang Yonghua did not leave in the morning and was eating from the communal pot with Li Xiuyuan. He remembered what Li Xiuyuan had said the night before last, asking him to bring some things to improve the meals on the project site.
