Siheyuan: I am different He Yuzhu

The tractor convoy of Dadi Fengshou Farm, led by the personnel arranged by the Ministry of Agriculture and Reclamation, marched towards Changji. He Yuzhu set off for Changji in an off-road vehicle to receive the supplies prepared by the Ministry of Agriculture and Reclamation. Without the supplies, so many people would not be able to survive in the wilderness in this terrible weather.

He Yuzhu drove the off-road vehicle under the guidance of the guide arranged by the Ministry of Agriculture and Reclamation who was sitting in the passenger seat. In less than an hour, they arrived at the material station in Changji where their farm supplies were stored.

After Wang Daoshu, the person in charge of the material station, exchanged a few pleasantries with He Yuzhu, he began to introduce to He Yuzhu: "Director He, our warehouse has stored a total of 1000 tons of coal, 100 barrels of diesel, and kilograms of grain prepared by the Ministry of Agriculture and Reclamation for your farm..."

After Wang Daoshu introduced the situation of the farm supplies, he continued, "Director He, what do you think we should do with these supplies?"

"Stationmaster Wang, we are new here and don't even know where the farm is. We have no place to store these supplies even if we take them back. So I think we should store them in your warehouse first. After we build the warehouse, we can take them away. Is that okay with you?"

"No problem, but it's hard for you to come all the way here every time."

"Thank you very much, Stationmaster Wang." He Yuzhu said sincerely. He knew very well that these supplies were vital to the farm.

"Stationmaster Wang, our farm's truck is currently occupied. Can you arrange for a truck from the station to deliver the goods to me? We can then arrange our own people to come and pick them up in the future." He Yuzhu then made his request.

"Okay, I'll arrange for someone to load it and send it over with your off-road vehicle later." Stationmaster Wang agreed readily.

He Yuzhu thanked Stationmaster Wang again, and then waited patiently. Time passed by, and finally, half an hour later, Stationmaster Wang came to He Yuzhu.

"Director He, this time we will load a total of 30 tons of coal and 5.4 kilograms of grain for you. Everything has been loaded into the truck and you can get ready to set off," said Stationmaster Wang.

Hearing this news, He Yuzhu was delighted and quickly stood up to thank Stationmaster Wang. Although these supplies were only enough for a few days, they were enough to comfort the farm workers. Next, they headed to the banks of the Santun River, where their farm was located.

After saying goodbye to Stationmaster Wang, He Yuzhu drove the off-road vehicle towards Santun River. Although there was no highway in the direction of Santun River, the dirt road was very flat due to the lack of rain in the Western Region Province, but the dust was a bit heavy after the off-road vehicle passed by.

Under the command of Wang, the guide arranged by the Ministry of Agriculture and Reclamation, He Yuzhu drove the off-road vehicle across the vast wilderness, raising dust all the way. Before long, they arrived at the bank of the Santun River. He Yuzhu parked the off-road vehicle steadily on the shore, and then walked towards the river with firm steps.

He stared at the frozen river in front of him, and an inexplicable excitement surged in his heart. This land was full of unknowns and challenges, but also contained infinite possibilities. He couldn't help but think about the future and imagine how he would lead the farm workers to create a prosperous scene here.

He Yuzhu turned around and asked Secretary Wang beside him: "Secretary Wang, I want to know if this river will flood in spring and summer? Should we stay away from the river when planning and building the camp? After all, safety comes first!"

Secretary Wang quickly took out the detailed hydrological data of the Santun River from the backpack behind him, and after carefully reading it, he replied: "Director He, according to the past hydrological records of the Santun River, every spring and summer, the ice and snow on the mountain at the source of the Santun River begin to melt, and a large amount of snow water gathers into a torrent, which may cause floods. So I strongly recommend that you try to avoid areas close to the river whether you are reclaiming farmland or building a camp to ensure the safety of people and property. Of course, if you need more accurate information, you can observe the scouring marks on both sides of the river, which can provide clues about the flood level and flow. In this way, you can make better decisions and formulate corresponding preventive measures."

He Yuzhu nodded slightly, expressing his understanding and gratitude for Wang's professional advice. He knew that in this unfamiliar and uncertain environment, he had to rely on scientific knowledge and experience to ensure everyone's safety and work progress. Next, he decided to study the characteristics of Santun River carefully with other cadres on the farm in order to make wise plans and decisions.

He Yuzhu stood in the river and looked eastward. He found a relatively high area about 500 meters away from the river. He decided to build the camp there and reclaim the land along the east bank of Santun River. Then He Yuzhu took out a shovel from the trunk of the SUV and walked towards the land. A cadre and two security guards in the SUV also picked up shovels and followed behind He Yuzhu.

He Yuzhu came to a plot of land with higher terrain, picked up a shovel and dug a few times. The ground was very loose after the cold winter and it was easy to dig. Then he said to the security guard beside him: "Xiao Liu, go talk to the truck driver at the material station and ask them to drive the truck to this place and unload the materials here. Xiao Yuan, take the bucket in the trunk of the off-road vehicle and go to the river to see if you can break the ice and get some water. Be careful when going to the water."

After saying that, He Yuzhu felt uneasy, so he said to Zhang Zili beside him: "Chief Zhang, please go to the river with Xiao Yuan to get some water."

After the three people left, He Yuzhu picked up a shovel and continued to dig the soil. He wanted to dig a few smokeless stoves on the ground before the subsequent farm workers came, so that when the workers arrived, they could start eating directly in the canteen.

As a result, He Yuzhu had not dug for a few times when the truck driver of the material station drove to He Yuzhu. So he had to put down the shovel in his hand and instruct the driver to park the truck in the designated area.

After the drivers parked the trucks, He Yuzhu took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and gave each of the six truck drivers a cigarette. He said politely, "I'm sorry to bother you to wait for a while. The rest of our farm hasn't arrived yet. There are only four of us here. We will start unloading the coal and grain from the trucks. If the unloading is slow, please bear with us."

A driver who looked to be in his 40s said, "It's hard to expect the four of you to unload these six trucks. Let's wait for your main force to arrive. How long will it take for your main force to arrive?"

He Yuzhu raised his wrist to check the time on his watch, calculated silently, and said, "According to the time, we should be there in about 1 to 2 hours. It's not appropriate to keep you waiting for such a long time. Let's unload the coal first and let the coal trucks go back. The grain needs to be spread on the ground, so we can only unload it after our farm's large group arrives."

He Yuzhu then asked the driver to start the truck, then opened the tailgate at the rear of the car, and had the driver slam on the brakes while backing up, using inertia to unload 30 tons of coal onto the ground, but it was a little messy.

The three drivers saw that the coal on the truck had been unloaded, then greeted the drivers of the other three trucks and drove away. He Yuzhu took Xiao Liu to dig a smokeless stove on the ground, and the three drivers who stayed stood aside and watched with great interest. He Yuzhu learned how to dig a smokeless stove on the ground from a soldier on the short video platform before he traveled through time.

He Yuzhu had just finished digging a big pit when Zhang Zili and Xiao Yuan came back with a bucket of water each. Seeing that the two had successfully obtained water, he smiled and nodded at them and continued to dig a smokeless stove.

Just after the three coal truck drivers had been gone for a little over half an hour, most of the Dadi Fengshou Farm’s followers appeared in the distance. Zhang Zili pointed to the long convoy in the distance and said, “Deputy Director He, a large group of our farm workers is here.”

He Yuzhu, who was lying on the ground digging a hole, stood up, glanced at the convoy in the distance, and said with a smile: "It seems that they took a shortcut, otherwise they wouldn't be so fast."

As the convoy got closer, the noisy sounds of the convoy began to be heard. He Yuzhu put down the shovel in his hand and walked to the three drivers. He smiled and said, "It seems that the three masters don't have to wait that long. Our farm's main force has arrived."

About 10 minutes later, there was a roar of engines in the distance. He Yuzhu and others turned around and saw a tractor convoy consisting of more than a dozen tractors slowly driving towards the high ground where they were. This tractor convoy was the support team from Dadi Fengshou Farm.

When the convoy arrived at the plateau, it immediately caused a cheer. He Yuzhu and others came forward and greeted the cadres following the convoy.

"Deputy Director He, we are here!" Fan Zagen and Li Deping hurriedly jumped off the tractor and ran to He Yuzhu and said.

"Chief Fan, you came at the right time! Did you have a smooth journey?" He Yuzhu asked with a smile.

"Very smoothly! We had a smooth journey without encountering any trouble." Fan Zagen replied with a smile.

"That's good! Chief Fan, next I'll trouble you to organize the workers to set up the tents; Chief Zhang, you lead a group of workers to unload the food from the truck. Remember to lay a few wooden boards on the ground when unloading to prevent the food from being damaged. Others will act according to the plan we made in Sijiu City." He Yuzhu gave the order decisively.

Following his order, everyone at the Great Harvest Farm quickly took action. The cooks first unloaded the cooking utensils from the tractor trailer and prepared to start cooking; while the workers in charge of setting up the tents unloaded the tents from the truck and began to assemble them skillfully... The whole scene was in order, everyone was doing their job, busy but not chaotic.

When the truck from the supply station left, the chefs at Dadi Fengshou Farm had already dug a smokeless stove and set up a pot to boil water. He Yuzhu was constantly patrolling around the camp.
