The alarm clock rang, and Ma Guanqin rubbed his eyes and got up from the bed.

A cold wind blew in through the asbestos tile cracks in the roof, and she hurried to pick up the down jacket on the quilt and put it on.

Ma Guanqin's family is in the elephant trunk village of Tobuka Town, Dongchuan District, Kunming City, Yunnan Province, which is surrounded by mountains and the Jinsha River flows through the village. Ma Guanqin's father was crippled and could only do simple housework. The mother was in poor health and unable to work. While working in a factory, my brother accidentally broke three fingers by a machine. Ma Guanqin was distressed by his parents and brother, and after graduating from agricultural school, he returned to his hometown and took his parents and brother with him to work.

Ma Guanqin landed on a chicken farm. When I first entered the farm, a large number of chickens died, and the cause of the disease could not be found. Ma Guanqin studied veterinary medicine at agricultural school, and she dissected several dead chickens and found the cause. Because of her diligence and excellent performance, the owner of the chicken farm promoted her to a management position.

After working for a few years, Ma Guanqin resigned, taking the money saved from part-time work, and she wanted to run a chicken farm herself.

After renting the venue, there is little left of savings. Unable to afford anyone, she took her parents and brother to level the grounds, build roads, build houses, and build chicken coops. After five months, Ma Guanqin lost eight kilograms.

After a few years of hard work, the chicken farm finally improved a little.

But life made a joke with her again. After getting married, she gave birth to a daughter, and when she was eight months old, she was diagnosed with hydrocephalus, and Ma Guanqin ran all over the major hospitals with her daughter, but her illness was not cured, and she still owed a foreign debt.

When he was most desperate, Ma Guanqin cried loudly in the hospital.

But she has a stubborn personality and does not believe that she will be poor for the rest of her life. She sold the family's house, land, and other things that could be sold, and with the money, she ran a chicken farm and went around treating her daughter.

On this day, it is agreed that at 8 o'clock in the morning, the chickens will be brought to the farmer's market. From the chicken farm to the farmer's market, there are fourteen or five kilometers.

Ma Guanqin opened the door, and a cold wind wrapped in snowflakes swept in, and the snow on the ground was more than a foot thick.

A hundred chickens out of the pen were packed in an iron cage the night before. She loaded the iron cage into an electric tricycle, tied it up, and set off.

It was just after dawn, and the electric car jolted a little and drove up the road from the sidewalk of the chicken farm.

The wind swept the snowflakes flying in the sky, and Ma Guanqin pulled up his down jacket hat, covered his head, and drove forward against the wind and snow.

The car is a second-hand car bought, the strength is not good, a section of uphill road in front, when it does not rain or snow, it is a bit difficult to run, and now it is loaded, the weather is not good, Ma Guanqin is a little worried.

She changed into a gear and slowly climbed up, not climbing far, and the car did stop.

Ma Guanqin tried several times, but the car still couldn't move.

The snow under the wheels was rolled up and the car began to slide slowly. Ma Guanqin stepped on the brakes, there was no use at all, the car slid faster and faster, she saw the opportunity, and suddenly jumped out of the car.

The car was still sliding, and the chicken coop on the car was tilted backwards, and it looked like it was about to break the rope and fall down.

Ma Guanqin ran to the back of the car and pressed his thin shoulders against the carriage.

The car pushed her down more than ten meters, and finally slowly stopped.

Ma Guanqin stood on the highway and looked around, and there was not a car in front of him, and no one in the back. She really wanted to go back, and this business was not done. But she immediately denied this idea, no matter how difficult it was, she could not lose credibility.

Ma Guanqin untied the rope, carried a chicken coop on his shoulder, and climbed up step by step.

The snow was so deep that she struggled to walk and her feet froze.

After the ten cages were carried up one by one, Ma Guanqin sat on the snow and gasped for breath.

The unloaded car also became obedient, and Ma Guanqin re-lit the car, drove uphill, and then reinstalled the chicken coops one by one, and delivered the chickens to the farmers' market on time.

Ma Guanqin came out of the farmer's market on a tricycle, and Pu Chaolin of Xinjie Village ran up and stopped her.

Pu Chaolin began raising chickens with the help of Ma Guanqin. Ma Guanqin has wandered outside and understands a truth, it is not good for a person to develop well, and it is good to bring up a place. Therefore, she not only raises her own chickens, but also brings the villagers to raise chickens together, helping everyone free of charge.

"My chicken is sick a lot, can you help me see it?" Pu Chaolin said anxiously to Ma Guanqin.

"Okay! Go now! ”

Coming to Pu Chaolin's chicken farm, Ma Guanqin was a little strange after careful inspection, and she had not seen the symptoms of Pu Chaolin's chickens. Ma Guanqin thought about it, asked Pu Chaolin to bring the examination materials, and the two rushed to Kunming together to find her teacher when she was in agricultural school.

Through the test, the teacher found out the cause of the disease and helped them dispense the medicine.

The situation in Puchaolin's chicken farm has stabilized. He specially came to the door to thank Ma Guanqin, and Ma Guanqin just smiled.

Pu Chaolin told Ma Guanqin that he wanted to raise deheated chickens, but he had not yet deheated the cage, and Ma Guanqin immediately divided the iron cages in his greenhouse into several for him.

Ma Guanqin sent Pu Chaolin out of the house, and just happened to meet a villager from the same village who came to look for her.

In recent years, driven by Ma Guanqin, the villagers of more than a dozen surrounding villages have relied on raising chickens, and the economic situation has greatly improved. This villager also wanted to learn to raise chickens, but he had bullied the Ma Guanqin family in the past, so he was always embarrassed to come to Ma Guanqin, so he bought a thousand chickens to raise for himself. However, in less than half a month, he died of illness, and he could not find the cause, so he had no choice but to find Ma Guanqin.

Ma Guanqin did not bother, followed him to his home, and helped him find out the reason for the poor chicken breeding.

The villager wanted to try it, but he ran out of money.

Ma Guanqin did not hesitate and directly lent him five hundred chicks.

Later, Ma Guanqin went to the villager's home every three or five minutes to take a look and provide him with technical guidance. As a result, the survival rate of these five hundred chickens reached 99 percent.

In recent years, with the help of Ma Guanqin, there have been 70 or 80 professional chicken farming households in the surrounding area. There are also eight large households with an annual output of more than 20,000, and the annual income is estimated to be more than 200,000 yuan.

Raising chickens has become a rich industry in this mountain village.

Before dawn, Ma Guanqin carried a large backpack and rode out the door on a motorcycle. She was going to the village of Taro Taro Tang in Awang Town, one hundred and fifty kilometers away, to vaccinate more than 2,500 chickens there.

This is a poverty alleviation project of the Provincial Women's Federation, and Taro Toutang Village is located in a remote mountainous area and was once a state-level poor village. More than 2,500 chickens were distributed to poor households, each with dozens, raised and sold, which is not a small income for poor households in mountainous areas.

Zhu Jinlian, then chairman of the District Women's Federation, approached Ma Guanqin and asked her to vaccinate the chickens.

"Not a penny!" Zhu Jinlian said.

"It doesn't matter!" Ma Guanqin promised to be very cheerful.

On the hillside of Taro TouTang Village, Ma Guanqin entered the village along the curved gravel mountain road and found the first family according to the list Zhu Jinlian gave her.

The family was not prepared, and the chickens were kept in the yard, and they had to be caught one by one.

Ma Guanqin went up to help catch them together.

The first family was busy, it was already 11 o'clock in the afternoon, she got on a motorcycle and came to the second home.

There are four groups of villagers in Taro TouTang Village, and the farmers live scatteredly. When the group was done, she was going to ride a motorcycle to another group.

When the third group was finished, Ma Guanqin was too tired to stand up.

At two o'clock in the middle of the night, when it was finally completed, Ma Guanqin breathed a long sigh of relief, covered his tired waist and tried to stand up, but suddenly he was dizzy and fell to the ground.

The head of the household were two elderly people in their seventies who helped Ma Guanqin to the bed to rest and stayed by the bedside.

The roof of the tile was filled with wisps of light, and Ma Guanqin woke up, and she looked at the two old men apologetically: "I'm sorry!" Sorry! I'm in trouble for you! ”

"Girl, Don't say that! You're tired of doing things for us! ”

Ma Guanqin had low blood sugar and rode home on a motorcycle, still sweating and pale.

"Girl! What a pain you are! ”

Her mother sent her to a health center. But before the doctor could hang up the potion for her, she fell asleep.

After several years of struggle, Ma Guanqin's chicken farm has developed, and she has paid off her debts and savings.

What is even more gratifying is that my daughter insisted on taking Chinese medicine for several years, and her illness miraculously improved.

His own life has improved, but he can see that some villagers are still living a hard life, and Ma Guanqin's heart is not a taste.

Ma Guanqin is not very old, but she has been in the party for seven years, and she cannot forget her oath to join the party and "fight for communism for life." Ma Guanqin feels that starting from the current actual situation, using her own strengths to help more villagers get rich as soon as possible and live a good life, this is her goal.

A farm cart pulled the chicken, Ma Guanqin sat in the passenger seat, and the car went to the village of Zhenkou and stopped at the side of the road.

The farmers who were waiting here greeted them.

Ma Guanqin asked a few farmers to carry the chickens off the cart for a few cages, and then read the list and began to send out chickens.

There are thirteen villages in Tongdu Subdistrict Office, all of which are in the alpine mountains at an altitude of about 4,000 meters, all of which were once state-level poor villages. Ma Guanqin actively raised funds and distributed nearly 70,000 chickens to poor households in these thirteen villages and Taro Tau Tau Tong Village in Ngawang Town.

The chickens will go down, and in a few days she will come to inspect to see how the survival rate of the chickens is.

Ma Guanqin has good skills and experience, and at a glance you can know whether the chicken is cold or not. Chicken feces, she looked at it, she knew if it was enteritis.

When the chickens fell ill, she distributed medicine for free and guided the farmers to treat them. In those months, she often ran late at night on the mountain with a flashlight.

After returning from Hoguchi Village, it was already 8 p.m. As soon as Ma Guanqin entered the house, he saw her husband sitting on the sofa in a huff.

"What's wrong with you?" Ma Guanqin asked with concern.

The husband's face was angry: "Ma Guanqin, do you still want this family?" You empty the family's money out and be a good person, I don't care, but you always have to take care of this family! ”

Ma Guanqin hurriedly lost a smile: "I'm sorry! I am sorry! ”

My daughter is in the second grade of elementary school, sitting at the small dining table doing homework, when she saw Ma Guanqin come back, she ran over and hugged her legs: "Mom, I'm hungry!" ”

Ma Guanqin's tears immediately flowed down.

"I'm sorry! Baby, it's Mom's fault, Mommy cooks for you right away! ”

Ma Guanqin went into the kitchen, opened the refrigerator, opened the cupboard, and there was nothing to eat.

She rushed out and bought a handful of noodles back.

The pine forest that Ma Guanqin rented was expired and needed to find a new venue. The owner of the site believes that Ma Guanqin has money and asks for five years' rent to be paid at once.

Ma Guanqin calculated, the site rent is nearly 100,000 yuan, building a chicken coop, buying equipment, but also asking for money.

Ma Guanqin ran home, took the card, went to the bank to check, and there were only more than two thousand yuan left on the card.

What to do? Thinking about it, she got on a motorcycle and ran to the town government to find a good friend to borrow money.

The friend laughed and said, "Don't you tease me, you are such a big chicken farm, you still ask me to borrow money?" ”

Ma Guanqin looked shy and did not know how to explain.

Liu Zhongliang, then secretary of the party committee of Tobuka Town, just happened to pass by the door, saw this situation, and said to Ma Guanqin: "Ma Guanqin, you come to my office." ”

Ma Guanqin has done a lot for the villagers in recent years, and the town leaders know it. The town party committee held a meeting and was ready to recruit her into the team of poverty alleviation and industrial development, leading some poor households that had not yet become rich to raise chickens.

After Secretary Liu learned of Ma Guanqin's current difficulties, he told her that after the town's research, he planned to give her industrial support, and she would lead poor households to engage in breeding and drive more people out of poverty.

Hearing these words, Ma Guanqin's eyes immediately became wet. Over the years, whenever she had difficulties, the grass-roots party organizations and the town party committee always gave her a lot of help.

Seven

Ma Guanqin came to Wulong Town with a few employees, set up tables on the grounds outside the farmers' market, and began to recycle the chickens.

In recent years, she has built twelve help bases in poor villages in surrounding townships. At the beginning of the year they send chickens to the villagers, and at the end of the year they bring cash to recycle, whether chickens or eggs, their recycling prices are higher than the market price.

Farmers received a notice a few days ago that they had transported a cage of chickens here early to wait.

There were too many people, and Ma Guanqin called the Wulong town government and invited several people to help.

After the redemption, the villagers can immediately receive the next year's chickens. The place where the chicks are distributed is just as crowded with people...

After completing this work, Ma Guanqin suddenly received a call from the Provincial Women's Federation recommending her to study at Tsinghua University for short-term training.

As soon as the study was over, Ma Guanqin rushed home on the same day. Although she ran all the way, she still put down her luggage and ran to the chicken farm.

After studying business administration for three months, Ma Guanqin had some new ideas for the development of her career, and she wanted to have a meeting after dinner to share her learning experience with the staff as soon as possible.

With the support of the party's policies, Ma Guanqin's chicken farm has developed greater. Her "Camellia Native Chicken" and "Camellia Native Egg" have signed long-term contracts with merchants and sold them to many major cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Nanjing, and Guangzhou. The poor households that have entered the shares have received considerable dividends every year, and now, one by one, they have long been lifted out of poverty.

This year, the government also invested 9.5 million yuan in Ma Guanqin's Shanghai-Dian assistance fund, which will be developed under the forest in more than ten villages in the town...

In a conference room at the chicken farm, a wall on the front is covered with various awards and honorary certificates that Ma Guanqin has won over the years.

Ma Guanqin walked into the conference room. Just when the employees finished eating in the downstairs canteen, they all came up. Several female employees joked around Ma Guanqin, saying that she went around Beijing and came back beautiful.

Ma Guanqin was amused by the words of the big guys, and she smiled and said, "Pretty or not, I don't know, anyway, I learned a lot." I feel that the more I learn, the more enlightened I am, and the good ideas come out one after another. Our chicken farm will definitely get better and better, and when the time comes, all of you will go out to study, and when you come back, one by one, you must give me a beautiful section! ”

Behind this happy and harmonious scene is the story of a woman who does not recognize her fate and struggles hard...
