Mao Zhicheng and Jiang Hua are villagers of Baiyan Village, Jiuxi Town, Taoyuan County. A family of four, the daughter is married, the son is studying at Jishou University. In 2000, he bought more than 70 mu of mountainous land in the village and planted more than 10 varieties of fruit tree seedlings, with an annual income of more than 400,000 yuan at the highest. In order to make the barren mountains green, in 2014, more than 300 acres of barren mountains were contracted to plant fruit trees and carry out ecological breeding. Today, they live in a two-storey villa of more than 300 square meters. Home a pickup truck for commuting and production.

【Dream Story】

"From tomorrow onwards, be a happy person, feed horses, chop wood, and travel the world; From tomorrow, caring for grain and vegetables, I have a house, facing the sea, and spring blossoms. This is a dream woven by the famous poet Haizi, which was interpreted into reality by Mao Zhicheng and Jiang Hua.

On September 19, the morning light dew, Taoyuan County Jiuxi Town Baiyan Village Shenjia Mountain, clouds and mist lingering, the village houses from time to time, like an ink painting. The reporter walked into the Baiyan Bay Ecological Park, and the fruit trees were lush and lush, and the shatin grapefruit and rock sugar orange were bent and the fruit aroma was overflowing. All the way to the top, the wonders of the sea of clouds come into view, which is refreshing.

With a "creak", the door of the hilltop hut opened. The 51-year-old Mao Zhicheng hummed a small song and began a day's work. He picked up a dustpan of corn and walked toward the forest behind the house. "Grunt..." After a few cries, I saw more than 100 pheasants, flapping their wings from the branches of the trees.

After feeding the chickens, Mao Zhicheng pulled a handful of sweet potato vines in the vegetable garden and went straight to the pigsty. The organic food with dew on the leaves is the appetizer of more than 20 Taoyuan black pigs in his family. For a time, the pig cubs were noisy, and the chickens and birds in the forest were chirping, converging into a pleasant morning song.

"Brother Mao, the soybeans are soaked, come and push the tofu!" Hearing the call of his wife Jiang Hua, Mao Zhicheng quickly cleaned up the grinding disc, installed the grinding rod, and as the grinding roller creaked, the milky soy milk continued to overflow, and the two mouths pushed and milled, and one person added materials, is this scene not exactly the portrayal of the modern version of "Tianxian Match"?

In the small talk, the reporter learned that the two people came all the way, which can be described as starting from scratch, which is not easy. Jin Yin, secretary of the party committee of Jiuxi Town, introduced that Baiyan Village is named after the rocks of the mountain and is the only mountain village in Jiuxi Town. For a long time, villagers have mostly chosen to go out to work in order to make a living. What remains is the patron who eats the mountain.

In 1998, Mao Zhicheng backed a tree in the local forest farm, and only earned 10 yuan a day of exhaustion. In order to share her husband's worries, Jiang Hua learned the art of fruit tree grafting and seedling breeding. She recalled: "Grafting a seedling, only 2 cents, I had to graft 600 on the first day, my hands were all sharpened by scissors out of blood bubbles, but when I saw the 12 yuan I earned, my heart was like drinking honey." ”

With his ingenuity and hard-working, Jiang Hua quickly became an expert in fruit seedling grafting, up to 2,000 seedlings a day. The next year, she packed her bags and went south to the north, helping fruit farmers graft seedlings, and her footprints spread throughout Changsha, Yueyang, Changde and other places. When I went out, I earned money, but I also got a lot of anger.

"Better to do it yourself!" When his own ideas and ideas came out, her husband Mao Zhicheng immediately responded: "You have the final say!" In 2000, they bought more than 70 acres of mountainous land and began planting and operating seedlings. "When I went up the mountain to open up the wilderness, the lover was pregnant with Liujia, holding up a big belly, either busy on the mountain or busy at home, and didn't do anything less. When I washed her feet at night, I looked at a pair of swollen feet and was so distressed that I shed tears. Mao Zhicheng recalled.

At that time, I bought it together, as well as the two-storey old wooden house where the former Jiuxi Commune Zhiqing lived when he was laid down. In order to facilitate the management of the nursery, the couple has lived in this old house for more than 10 years. Jiang Hua humorously described the life scene at that time: "People are sleeping downstairs, and rats are dancing on the floor. ”

It is under such harsh conditions that the two sons get up early before the birds, return to the sun at night, rely on the integrity of the operation, the seedling management is getting bigger and bigger, and the annual income gradually doubles, reaching more than 400,000 yuan at the highest time.

At the bottom of the mountain, the reporter saw that Mao Zhicheng was next to the newly built villa of the old house where he used to live, and the interior decoration was exquisite and very high-grade. Jiang Hua said unabashedly: "Originally, it was not too late to rebuild the new house a few years later, but it could not withstand the persuasion of relatives and friends." Seeing that the villagers were living in spacious and comfortable new houses, we simply built villas like the people in the city. To facilitate travel and production, a pickup truck was also purchased. ”

The green water and green mountains are the golden mountains and silver mountains. In October 2014, Mao Zhicheng and his wife invested all their savings to contract more than 300 acres of barren mountains in shenjia dashan to develop ecological breeding and breeding industry. Although the current annual income is less than 70,000 yuan, it is not a dream to have an annual income of more than one million yuan after all the fruit trees have been fully productive in 3 years.

In Mao Zhicheng's villa, when the reporter asked them about their well-off dreams, Jiang Hua took over the stubble: "Don't hide from you, our two sons are 'in the same bed and different dreams'." As soon as the words fell, it caused everyone to laugh.

Jiang Hua added with a red face: "My family's mouth dreams of buying a high-end car next year and enjoying it." When you are older, buy a caravan, and the family walks around to appreciate the great rivers and mountains of the motherland. On the contrary, I just want to take care of this 'flower and fruit mountain', invite the sisters in the village in my spare time, smell the melon and fruit fragrance on the top of this mountain, taste the original dishes, and recall the past of my childhood. My understanding is that the 'Chinese Dream' is composed of countless small dreams, as long as it is happy and beautiful, it is the 'Chinese Dream'!"

【Dream Realization Speech】

"If you have a dream, you have to do it"

The mountains block the dreams of many people, but they are also the places where some people realize their dreams. Mao Zhicheng and Jiang Hua are among them. From survival to life, the couple firmly believes that "ideas determine the way out", relying on hard work and hard work, step by step out of the well-off road.

How big the heart is, how wide the stage is. Agricultural production is an industry with large inputs, long cycles and slow results. The development of ecological agriculture requires perseverance and perseverance.

"When people live in the world, they can't go away in vain." Jiang Hua's idea was simple and simple. She said that everyone has to have a dream, and each stage of the dream may also be different. "The key is persistence, and if you have a dream, you have to do it!" We must not be afraid of suffering, not afraid of tiredness, and strive to achieve it!"

Mao Zhicheng and Jiang Hua's dream of being well-off is a microcosm of the countless dreamers in the yuanli land. These people, under the guidance of the rural revitalization strategy, rely on diligent hands to depict a happy new life. (Lu Rongbing finishing)
