Children want to go to school, the elderly have to take medicine, go out to work for a year and often can't make ends meet, in 2015 Xiao Qingsong, a villager in Jinmi Village, Zaoshui County, was put on the hat of a poor household, but after receiving a call from a support cadre to him in 2018, his life quietly changed, he took off his hat and became a small boss, and also became the leader of the village's wealth. Last year, it won the "Endeavor Award" for poverty alleviation in Shaanxi, and this year was rated as the "Good Man of Shangluo" in the third quarter self-improvement inspirational category.
From poor households to bosses
Planting fungus made a difference in his life
Located in the hinterland of Qinling Mountains, Jinmi Village was once a well-known poor village in Zaoshui County, with a poverty incidence rate of 21.85%, inconvenient transportation, insufficient arable land, and villagers had to go out to find a livelihood. Xiao Qingsong is no exception.
According to Xiao Qingsong, he has done a lot of work, going to dig coal, go to the mine, and work on the construction site, but the money he earns all year round is only enough for the New Year's flower, basically not much.
Xiao Qingsong, who was working at the construction site in October 2018, received a call from a Baofu cadre asking him to return to the water to plant fungus, but he refused without even thinking about it. "I haven't planted it, I've planted it, I've planted it, it's eaten by the sky." We have no money and no technology, why do we develop? "Later, under the circumstance that the Baofu cadres repeatedly persuaded and explained the policies, he was moved -- because the Baofu cadres said that they did not need him to invest money, and that it was a modern greenhouse, and the technology was also taught." Just do it. As long as you can bear hardships, are you still afraid that you can't do it? He made up his mind.
According to Xiao Qingsong, Jinmi Village adopts the method of "borrowing sheds to return ears and borrowing bags to return ears", that is, the village collective economic organization signs a loan contract with the enterprise, the peasant household signs an agreement with the village collective economic organization, and the village collective economic organization provides greenhouses and fungus bags free of charge. After the end of each season's fungus picking, farmers will hand over the finished ear to the unified sale, and the village collective economic organization will return the sales funds to the poor people after deducting the cost of borrowing bags, and poor households can participate in the development of the fungus industry without funds and enjoy the benefits brought by the industry. In the first year, he contracted two greenhouses, and earned more than 30,000 yuan in one stubble alone. Now he has more energy and confidence. Subsequently, he went out many times to study and train, planted fungus in strict accordance with the methods he learned, and often gave guidance to others in the village to encourage everyone to try more.
Recalling the scene when General Secretary Xi Jinping came to Jinmi Village to inspect on April 20, 2020, Xiao Qingsong still remembers it vividly. He said: "General Secretary Xi's words are very inspiring, and I am more determined to develop the industry well and live a good life through my own hands." Seeing that the village is becoming more and more beautiful and there are more and more tourists, Xiao Qingsong seized the business opportunity to use the spare money in his hand to open a farm, hired a chef and 5 waiters from the local area, mainly doing farm dishes, and the business is doing well. In addition, he also co-operated a marketing center specializing in the sale of fungus, and the business was not bad. In addition to taking care of his own fungus and business, he and his wife are also the public welfare workers in the village, and their lives are getting better and better, and the more relaxed they are. Now that he has taken the driver's license, he is preparing to add another car this year to take his family on a trip.
"I didn't expect to be honored, I made these achievements, and I made money at home in a down-to-earth manner, which is inseparable from the party's good policies." Next, I will continue to grow fungus, continue to learn, and help more people increase their income and become rich. Xiao Qingsong said with a smile.

His family hurt him and the village committee praised him
Since planting the fungus, Xiao Qingsong has been like taking care of children, often entering the shed to patrol the "ear" before dawn, when to do what, he does not relax for a moment, when he eats and lives in the shed, sometimes only eats one meal a day. His wife, He Xiaoyan, saw the pain in her eyes.
"The body is the cost, everything else is secondary. He is the pillar of the family, I hope he can take good care of his body, our family is safe, healthy and healthy life. He Xiaoyan told reporters that Xiao Qingsong won this honor, she and her children are very proud, as the backing of the family, they will always support Xiao Qingsong's decision.
Speaking of Xiao Qingsong's personality, Li Zhengsen, secretary of the party branch of Jinmi Village, summed it up with four words: "dedication". "Although he is not a party member, he has a certain dedication, there are more things in the countryside, no matter who has a family affair, he rushes to the front, very positive, is a very good person." Li Zhengsen told reporters, "Xiao Qingsong is now a member of the village committee and often gives suggestions and suggestions for the development of the village. In addition, he also honors his parents and helps his neighbors, which are worth learning. ”
