Revitalize the industry to enhance the vitality of development
Whether peasants are rich or not, the key lies in the industry. While doing a good job in infrastructure construction, Bailonghu Village has developed characteristic industries according to local conditions, actively explored and strengthened the village collective economy, and let the villagers' pockets bulge.
Picking mushrooms, packing, loading... Recently, the reporter saw in the Chongqing Shurong Mushroom Planting Professional Cooperative that several mushroom farmers are busy in an orderly manner.
"Our cooperative planting base covers an area of 20 acres, has 22 production sheds, has an annual output of 300,000 bales of shiitake mushrooms, and an annual output value of about 2 million yuan." Zhang Shurong, the head of the cooperative, told reporters that she relied on growing edible mushrooms and her family's life was getting better and better.
The vigorous development of the edible mushroom industry has also created jobs for the surrounding masses. Villager Zhu Zhengfang works in the cooperative in his spare time, picking mushrooms and cleaning mushroom sheds, earning nearly 3,000 yuan a month. "It's nice that you don't have to go out to work!" She said that working at the doorstep of the family, there is an income, can take care of the family, and the family has also lived a good life of harmony and beauty.
"The village collective economy is the fundamental guarantee for the common prosperity of the villagers." Zhu Yuhua, secretary of the party branch of Bailonghu Village, said that it is difficult for villagers to fundamentally achieve the goal of getting rich first and getting rich later by doing things alone. At present, there are 10 large households cultivating and planting in Bailonghu Village, mainly based on flower seedlings, tea, edible mushrooms, kiwifruit planting and clearwater fish farming, with an annual output value of about 7 million yuan. In 2021, the per capita net income of the village exceeded 20,000 yuan.
Bailonghu Village is rich in water resources, and Tangjiagou Reservoir, as the "life project" of Wansheng Economic Development Zone, is located in the center of the village, with a water storage capacity of 12 million cubic meters. In order to further develop the village-level collective economy, in 2021, the village set up Chongqing Nenghu Labor Service Co., Ltd., making full use of the abundant water resources in its territory, building a new ecological fish breeding base of 20 acres, which can generate 50,000 yuan per year for the collective through leasing. In addition, the village also uses the funds of the reservoir support project to invest in the new Bailonghu Ecological Agricultural Park, which can generate 50,000 yuan per year for the collective; the introduction of Changteng Construction Waste Disposal Co., Ltd. can generate 200,000 yuan per year for the collective economy.

Beautiful environment to dress up the external "face value"
In the deep winter, walking into Bailonghu Village, looking around, both sides of the road are clean and tidy, and the front and back of the house are lined with trees. As long as the weather is good, the open space and pavilion next to the village convenience service center will be lively, the women will dance a dynamic square dance, the children will chase and play, and the old people will sit around and pull home... It's not busy.
It is unimaginable that the village environment here was once dirty and chaotic, and sanitation facilities were lacking. "In the past, the village was full of garbage piles, and flies flew around in the summer. Now there are garbage bins in the village, cleaners regularly clean up the garbage, and the village environment is kept clean and tidy at all times. Speaking of his current life, villager Li Zhengrong feels very satisfied.
The change of the environment of Bailonghu Village has benefited from the normalization of the improvement of the human settlement environment.
Since the launch of this work, village cadres and party member representatives have taken action one after another, through various forms of propaganda such as bulletin board announcements, loudspeaker broadcasts, WeChat group propaganda, and household mobilization, to actively guide villagers to carry forward the spirit of ownership, take the initiative to participate in the work of improving the living environment, and effectively make the "appearance" of the village beautiful.
At the same time, the village has established 8 garbage collection stations, added 1 garbage removal truck, and concentrated more than 260 garbage cans to achieve the coverage of the whole village; establish a long-term cleaning mechanism, and complete the cleaning team to be responsible for the daily removal and transportation of garbage, so that Nissan Nissin ... Today's Bailonghu Village, the public garbage cans on the side of the road are "missing", and the village living environment is cleaner.
"The environment is clean, the roads are hardened to the home, and the village has also built cultural squares, libraries and other entertainment and leisure places for villagers to carry out activities, living in this environment, many urban people have begun to envy our rural life, which makes people feel particularly comfortable." Villager Xia Yu said.
Tree fresh air enhances the inner temperament
"Abide by discipline and law, carry forward healthy trends; unite and love, and live in harmony with the neighbors; break old rules and customs, and oppose extravagance and waste..." In Bailonghu Village, the catchy village rules and regulations involve social order, village customs and folk customs, neighborhood relations, etc., which are easy to understand, rich in content and grounded, and form a good atmosphere.
"Beauty is not only in the environment, but also in the human heart." In recent years, the village has set its sights on improving the civilized quality of the villagers, with the goal of creating a new trend of civilization and harmony in the countryside, vigorously practicing the core values of socialism, and solidly promoting the construction of rural civilization. We should carry out the system of making village affairs public, strictly implement the "one matter and one discussion" for major matters; rectify the old customs and bad customs and unhealthy customs such as "tombs of living people" and "wine without incidents" in rural areas; advocate new marriages, small weddings, and simple funerals; and carry out appraisal activities for "the most beautiful families," "the most beautiful courtyards," and "the most beautiful mothers-in-law."
