With the strong spring breeze, the north and south of the river enter the spring ploughing season in turn. Lo and behold, the plough turned over the dirt that had been sleeping for a winter; and lo and behold, the seeds were sown into the ridges of hope. The new year began with a lot of busyness.

Spring ploughing is inseparable from the field. Firmly hold Chinese your own rice bowl, firmly hold the red line of 1.8 billion mu of cultivated land, and firmly hold the goal of building 100 million mu of high-standard farmland a year, please start from spring ploughing;

Spring ploughing is inseparable from planting. There are thousands of acres of fertile land, and good seeds are the foundation. Let every acre of farmland sow high-quality seeds, let the dream of cooling under the grass come true in the sound of grass seedlings pulling joints, and let the granaries in the world be full of warehouses, please start from spring plowing;

Spring ploughing is inseparable from technology. Think of that year, "nine nine plus one nine, ploughing cattle everywhere", now, soil, fertilizer, water, seeds, sowing what kind of agricultural science and technology? Scientific planning, scientific management, please start with spring ploughing;

Spring ploughing is inseparable from people. Achieving food security is inseparable from high-quality people. The quality of people and the deeds of people will eventually determine whether we can ensure that grain production will be stable at more than 1.3 trillion catties in 2022, and whether we can be entrenched in the defensive war of food security. Play the role of a good person, please start with spring plowing!

The plan of the year is spring. In the footsteps of spring, guangming daily reporters went into the countryside and stepped onto the ridges of fields to report on the people who were fighting for food security in the front line of spring ploughing. Starting today, we have launched the column "Spring Ploughing Season at the Grassroots Level, We Are in Action" to present to the vast number of readers what frontline reporters have seen, heard, thought and felt.

In early spring, Wang Xiaomiao Village woke up.

A red sun leaped out and was held up by a field of turquoise wheat.

Putting on his coat, Liu Rui went out. Liu, who is more than 60 years old, is an old master who has been planting land for decades, and the first thing he does every day is to go to the field and turn around.

"There is no need to water at the moment, the moisture is very good. In a few days, it's time to turn the soil and prepare for spring sowing! Old Liu rubbed a handful of loess with his hand and said happily.

"Abandoned houses become fertile fields, and farmers' hearts are sweet." Liu Yunrong, secretary of the Wang Xiaomiao Village Branch in Zhangquan Township, Yancheng County, Henan Province, took over the stubble, in the past, here were idle and dilapidated houses and some abandoned homesteads, which were "like a village outside, and entering the village is not a village; the old houses have no lights at night, and the wasteland is overgrown."

As the saying goes, "It is better to give up an inch of gold than to give up an inch of land." The ground was deserted, and everyone was in pain. "Our croppers are the most desolate, and even crops are planted in front of and behind the houses. In the past two years, when I saw the wasteland full of weeds, my heart hurt. ”

The village held a meeting of villagers' representatives: to carry out the rectification of the hollow village and remove the ruins and walls.

To move the old house, everyone pinches a handful of sweat. Why? Villagers have inseparable feelings for the old house, and even if they don't live, they will not easily quit.

Sure enough, I ran into trouble in the early stage.

"It's a good thing to clean up hollow villages, but it's not okay to demolish my old house!" Rural cadres ran to Liu Ruicai's house four or five times, which is two words: "Do not demolish." ”

"I'll tear it down first!" Liu Yunrong invited an excavator and demolished his own abandoned house three times five divided by two.

The Party members demolished first, and the masses had nothing to say.

Wang Xiaomiao Village cleared out more than 300 abandoned houses in 10 days, and more than 40 acres of wasteland became fertile land.

"It is said that it is an old house, but it is actually an adobe dangerous house of only 60 square meters, 30 years old, with cracks in the corners of the walls, wind in winter, and rain leakage in summer." When Liu Yunrong talked about this matter, he seemed a little embarrassed.

Liu Yunrong introduced that Wang Xiaomiao Village, which once had more than 380 people, is a typical "hollow village", and most of the young people in the village have gone to the city to work.

Before the "Hollow Village" renovation, there were only 8 families living in the village, and most of them were left-behind elderly people, living in 20th-century adobe houses. Many old houses are dilapidated and overgrown, and there is a danger of collapsing at any time on rainy days.

Driven by the party branch, the villagers moved out one after another. Rubble was cleared, irrigation channels were built, and fertility was enhanced with organic fertilizers developed by provincial experts.

After the "hollow village" was rectified, the living environment of the villagers was greatly improved.

The bricks and tiles demolished from the old houses in the village were not only not thrown away, but also used by waste, paved into forest paths, and built a small amusement park, and the old trees and large trees in front of and behind the old houses were also preserved. "Kept the memory, kept the nostalgia." The townspeople were full of praise.

After the "hollow village" was rectified, the income of the villagers also increased greatly.

"Two days ago, a mass meeting was held in the village, and the township said that it would continue to develop characteristic planting in our village and transfer a lot of land. After the transfer of the newly added arable land, our farmers not only have more pockets, but also can continue to work on this land to earn money, which is really good. Liu Ruicai said.
