Li Peijian, a villager from Xinxu Village, Beiliu City, Guangxi — —
Skillfully planting autumn and winter vegetables should be sold in season.
Our reporter Li zong
At 6 o’clock in the morning, in the cold wind, Li Peijian, a villager from Xinxu Village, Xinxu Town, Beiliu City, Guangxi, went out early and came to his contracted autumn and winter vegetable planting base to take care of the vegetable greenhouse. Although it is the twelfth month of winter, the shed is full of lush eyes. "This batch of cucumbers will be harvested in another month. It rains and cools down these days, which is the time when cucumbers are most prone to pests and diseases. You have to keep an eye on it." Li Peijian said.
"This season, I planted cucumbers, bitter melons, loofahs, etc., which are mainly sold to Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, making a seasonal difference. After all picking and selling, I can probably earn a net income of 200,000 yuan." Li Peijian said that in the past, growing 7 mu of vegetables at home could earn about 40 thousand yuan a year. In 2020, his family joined the Lvfengyuan Vegetable Planting Professional Cooperative in Beiliu City, and contracted dozens of acres of autumn and winter vegetable planting. The cooperative provided seeds and technical support, and sold them.
In 2021, because it was just starting, the planting technology was not very exquisite. The output of autumn and winter vegetables planted by Li Peijian’s family did not meet expectations, but the net income still reached 150,000 yuan. "Standardized autumn and winter vegetables are very popular in the market. I have to work harder. As long as I work hard, I am not afraid of not making money. Last year, I added a two-story new house to the old house. This year, the car was also bought. " Li Peijian’s face is full of smiles.
Get up at 6 o’clock every day, busy in the field until dark, but Li Peijian doesn’t feel hard. "It will be very busy from now until the first month. After the first month, it can be picked and sold." Li Peijian said, "We have to ask the villagers for help then!"
It is understood that there are currently more than 1,000 professional cooperatives and family farms in Beiliu City, of which more than 100 professional cooperatives are engaged in fruit and vegetable cultivation. Li Peijian’s cooperative has a planting base of 1,550 mu, covering an area of 2,400 mu, and its sales revenue in 2021 is nearly 15 million yuan. After two years of planting experience accumulation, Li Peijian still wants to have greater development. He said, "It has to be scaled up again this year!"
Zhang Yongjiu, a villager from Maoshan Village, Dunhua City, Jilin Province — —
Live in a new house and have a comfortable year.
Our reporter Liu Yiqing
When I walked into Maoshan Village, Jiangyuan Town, Dunhua City, Jilin Province, I met 71-year-old Zhang Yongjiu, who had just returned from the market. The old man put the chickens, ducks and other new year’s goods he bought into the vat in the yard, and then covered it with a thick layer of snow. This is the natural "refrigerator" in Northeast China.
In the ice and snow, Zhang Yongjiu’s new house is particularly eye-catching. The orange walls are matched with the red roof, and the chimneys are bursting with white smoke, showing a beautiful rural scene. Into the house, one room and one living room, although small, are clean and tidy, with green plants and pink flowers blooming just right on the windowsill. The reporter was stuffed with melon seeds by the old man, sat on the kang together and listened to him talk about the past.
Twenty-four years ago, Zhang Yongjiu moved into Maoshan Village and has been living in an adobe house. The external wall made of yellow mud gradually peeled off with the wind and the sun, and the beams gradually aged. The most unbearable thing is the cold. The old house has no heating facilities and can only be heated by the fire kang. It’s warm in the bed when I just sleep, and when the firewood in the kang stove is burned out, it will be frozen and awakened.
Last autumn, considering that Zhang Yongjiu’s old house was in disrepair for a long time, the village invited a third-party organization to identify it as a D-class dangerous house, which met the reconstruction conditions. The town government helped him apply for 48,000 yuan for renovation of dangerous houses, and went through formalities, demolition of old houses and construction of new houses … … During the whole process, village cadres helped Zhang Yongjiu run before and after, and he also temporarily moved to a relative’s house to stay. In October of that year, Zhang Yongjiu’s new house was rebuilt on the original site.
Asked what else was needed, Zhang Yongjiu waved his hand with satisfaction: "Nothing is lacking! You see how bright our house is, and it will be bright when you look at it. " The once dilapidated wooden window has now become a shiny plastic-steel window. Now, looking out on the windowsill has become the old man’s favorite thing to do. The village also installed geothermal heating using clean energy for him. "There is no need to burn kang in the future. The room is warm from morning till night. This year is definitely a comfortable year."
Xu Jingbin, a villager from Xuguanzhuang Village, Qingdao City, Shandong Province — —
Life has changed when you work in a public welfare post.
Our reporter Li Rui
At dawn, 62-year-old Xu Jingbin put on labor gloves, a cleaning vest, got on a tricycle and hurried towards the village square. "The children have a winter vacation, and they all love to play here. We have to clean it up first." When the car stopped, Lao Xu took out the bamboo broom from the car hopper and "rustled" and "rustled", sweeping it from the outer ring of the square to the middle … …
Lao Xu is a villager in Xuguanzhuang Village, West Coast New District, Qingdao City, Shandong Province. He was originally a poor household with a file. He didn’t go out to work because he had to take care of his sick wife. Apart from the three acres of land at home, they have no other source of income and live in poverty.
In recent years, according to the actual situation of each village, the West Coast New District has set up poverty alleviation public welfare posts such as sanitation and cleaning, highway maintenance and forest management and protection. Xu Jingbin is a diligent person, and the small yard at home is always clean. In 2017, the village helped him to apply for a public welfare post, so that he could give full play to his "specialty" and become a cleaner, and he could receive a monthly post allowance from 800 yuan.
In his spare time, Xu Jingbin also relies on bricklayers’ skills to do odd jobs in eight neighboring villages. In recent years, with the help of the village, Xu Jingbin got rid of poverty, saved a sum of money and planted tea trees. Last year, he sold the first new leaves to the village cooperative and earned more than 3,000 yuan.
"Now I have learned to send short videos and bask in my new life." Xu Jingbin took out his mobile phone and said with a smile, "Look, since June last year, more than 20 articles have been sent, and there are almost 800 likes!" He thought about planting more tea trees this year. "When the living conditions are better, I will give up the public welfare post of cleaning staff to people who need it more than me."
Qu Bo, Party Secretary and Director of the People’s Social Security Bureau of the West Coast New District, introduced that by the end of last year, the West Coast New District had opened 472 rural poverty alleviation public welfare posts and distributed post subsidies of 9.57 million yuan. "In the future, we will continue to accurately open public welfare posts, improve the stability and long-term effectiveness of income increase, and give full play to the role of bottom guarantee."
Qi Xiaojing, a villager from peace village, Xing ‘an League, Inner Mongolia — —
Live broadcast brings agricultural goods to enrich one person.
Our reporter Ding Zhijun.
"I want 10 sets of farm-flavored gift packages." "Our unit has ordered 65 sets!" … … As the New Year approaches, Qi Xiaojing, a villager from Ping ‘an Village, Horqin Town, in Xing ‘an League, Inner Mongolia, a poverty-stricken area in the past, is selling agricultural goods online, and his business is getting more and more hot. Today, she is the head of the local talent incubation center in the town.
"We repackaged sticky bean bags, stupid chickens, frozen tofu, vermicelli, etc., and launched a farmer’s flavor gift package, which was sold through the e-commerce platform." Qi Xiaojing told reporters, "The idea of this gift package was come up with my sisters in the village. Don’t underestimate these farm-flavored products, which are always popular. In the winter of these years, each of the sisters can earn about 10,000 yuan, which is happy. "
Qi Xiaojing was once a poor college student from the countryside. After graduation, she chose to return to the countryside for development. In 2014, she founded the "Spreading Wing Planting Professional Cooperative", mainly engaged in the planting and picking of strawberries and melons, and began to try online operation and live delivery. Since then, the business has become more and more prosperous.
"I’m too busy these days." Qi Xiaojing said, "Our village is only a dozen kilometers away from Wulanhaote City. When the citizens eat, we will send it. The products are fresh and assured, and the demand is not small."
"Now, there are more and more customers in Shenyang and Dalian. Our products are becoming more and more abundant, with more than 100 varieties. " Qi Xiaojing introduced that in the past, the cost of promoting to foreign markets was relatively high, and the products were not easy to keep fresh. Now, we have established our own delivery channels and solved the problem.
At the end of last year, Qi Xiaojing came up with a new idea: she wanted to set up a tomato commune and turn it into a rural tourism destination combining leisure agriculture with research and labor practice, which would not only drive more villagers to get rich and increase their income, but also attract more talents to return to their hometowns for development. "It will be completed in June this year," Qi Xiaojing said happily. "You must visit again then!"
Wang Zhijun, a citizen of Chichong Village, Xianning City, Hubei Province — —
Rooted village primary school cares for Shanliwa
Our reporter Fan Haotian
"Teacher Wang is coming, sit down quickly, haven’t you had breakfast? I’ll cook noodles for you. " Early in the morning, Shen Shuxiang’s grandmother, a primary school student, was about to go out and fish in the net. She met Wang Qijun, who was visiting her home, and called him in. "Don’t bother. Today, I came here mainly to remind you of the safety issues in winter vacation, and also to see Shu Xiang’s study … …”
Wang Zhijun, 45, is a teacher at Chichong Primary School in Qingshan Town, Chongyang County, Xianning City, Hubei Province. Shen Shuxiang’s parents are working outside the home. Wang Zhijun visits home several times a year to help Shen Shuxiang with his homework and buy him clothes and stationery.
In 1995, Wang Zhijun became a rural teacher after graduating from a secondary normal school. For more than 20 years, he has been a teacher, a nurse and a ferryman, taking care of the children in the village wholeheartedly.
Over the years, Wang Zhijun has experienced the changes in Chichong Primary School. The school is located on an island surrounded by mountains on one side and water on three sides. In the past, children had to climb mountains and row boats when they went to school. Today, the road is built to the school gate, and three bridges are built around it. The school teaching building has changed from an adobe house to a two-story building, with multi-functional classrooms, electronic equipment and a new canteen and pumping toilet & HELIP; … Through the "joint school network teaching" system in the county, children can also listen to the distance teaching of school teachers in the city.
According to Wang Xiuli, deputy director of the Education Bureau of Chongyang County, since 2014, Chongyang County has continuously invested 309 million yuan to promote the improvement of school conditions in rural schools; In the past two years, a total of 283 compulsory education teachers and 60 kindergarten teachers have been recruited, and all of them have been arranged to teach in rural schools and kindergartens.
"In the past, people in the village wanted to send their children to school outside, and now our students have returned." Wang Zhijun said with a smile. Last year, two college graduates came to the school. Liao Chongfeng, 25, was a student of Wang Zhijun. After graduating from college, he took the initiative to take over the teacher’s baton … …
