At 10:00 a.m. on January 26, snowflakes flew from Shangye Natural Village in Ningzhuang Village, Baimiao Township, Wuxian County, and Zhang Huimin, a poverty-alleviated household, carried a chunlian under his armpits and Zhang Mining, the first secretary of the village, carried a large piece of pork into the house; her husband Lin Shunling followed close behind, holding a small piece in both hands. "Our 4 families exchanged money to buy a pig, which was much cheaper than going to the supermarket, and the family shared 85 pounds." Let's stew noodles with pork at noon, don't go. Lin Shunling said enthusiastically.
Ningzhuang Village is located in a hilly area, drought and little water, is a typical harvest, was once a provincial-level poor village, 43 of the 213 villagers in the village are poor households in Lika, Zhang Huimin is also one of them. Zhang Huimin is 51 years old and Lin Shunling is 57 years old, they have two daughters, the eldest has a family, and the second daughter is in the third year of undergraduate at Hubei Institute of Technology. Twenty years ago, Lin Shunling, who was less than 40 years old, suffered from a herniated waist disc due to overwork, could not go out to work, and had two daughters and parents to support. In 2013, his family was identified as a poor household.
The hat of the poor household is not good, and Zhang Huimin, who "loves face", has transferred 10 acres of land, planning to let the soil "produce" gold. "Because of the lack of water, we only plant one season a year, but the rent is lower." Zhang Huimin said that thanks to the party's good policy of poverty alleviation, she used a small guarantee loan to buy agricultural machinery and agricultural tools, and through intensive farming, her life had improved that year. In 2015 and 2016, she expanded the scale of circulation year after year, and at the same time led to the employment of more than a dozen people, and at the end of 2017, she was honorably lifted out of poverty, and her daughter also won a scholarship in high school, which made her overjoyed and full of confidence in the future.
Opportunity always favors those who are prepared. In the early winter of 2019, the village's support unit, Pingmei Shenma Group Cord Fabric Company, invested about 2.3 million yuan to build the starch production line of Zhongxin Yijia Qinshu Industry Co., Ltd., and packaged and purchased the sweet potatoes planted in the village. Because of his diligence and liso, Zhang Huimin was selected by the company: starch bagging, packaging vermicelli, a minimum of 60 yuan a day, about 3 months a year, and a salary of more than 6,000 yuan. Since that year, Zhang Huimin has become the backbone of the company. Now, Lin Shunling has also become a stevedorer in the company, and her salary is higher than her. In 2020, when the "two committees" of the village were replaced, Zhang Huimin was elected as a member of the village committee and the chairman of the village women's federation, with a monthly salary of 1190 yuan.
"In 2021, sweet potatoes sold for 24,000 yuan, tobacco leaves sold for 56,000 yuan, and a calf sold for 14,000 yuan, and the family bought a new refrigerator." Following the direction of Zhang Huimin's finger, the reporter saw a double-door refrigerator with a volume of 503 liters, and the refrigerator was full of apples, oranges, dumplings, eggs, etc.
"This year, we are going to plant 30 acres of tobacco, 20 acres of sweet potatoes and peanuts, and start seedlings after the Spring Festival." The party's policy is so good, we have to work together to the future! At the end of the interview, Zhang Huimin said with a smile. (Zhang Hongyu)
