"Lao Yang, you are more active than me today" At 11:10 a.m. on March 29, the old man Yan Zhi from Yanba Village, Yushu Township, Hui County, Longnan City, appeared on time in the Happy Canteen. Before I had time to sit down, I "greeted" with the dining friends who arrived first.
Yan Zhi is 76 years old this year, his children are working in other places, his wife passed away early, he is the only one in the family most of the time, and the old man is usually very lonely and rarely interacts with the masses. Since the opening of the "Happy Canteen" in the village, the women volunteers often bring him delicious meals and chat with him for a while. In Yanba Village, there are more than 20 left-behind elderly people who often come here to enjoy the taste of happiness just like Lao Yan.
In order to give full play to the strong role of the women's federation organization, mobilize the enthusiasm of rural women and families to participate in rural governance and spiritual civilization construction, and gather the strength of women to actively participate in the overall situation of rural revitalization, the Longnan Women's Federation and women's federation organizations at all levels rely on the new era of civilization practice to efficiently connect and strengthen the integration of the "happy canteen" and the women's volunteer service station, the women's home beauty points supermarket, and the "Hehe House". Caring service actions such as bathing, haircuts, laundry, etc., as well as rich spiritual and cultural services. In order to solve the problem of the management and operation of the "Happy Canteen", the Women's Federation organized and set up women volunteers to participate in the work of restaurant service, dish supply, food supervision, and food delivery, which not only reduced the pressure on the operation of the "Happy Canteen", but also allowed women in each village to dedicate their love.
Ren Runxia, a villager from Yangtianba Village, Sanheba Town, Kang County, went to the Happy Canteen as a "mother gang" to work as a cook. She told reporters that the dishes are made according to the taste of the elderly, less oily and less spicy, and the price is cheap. For the elderly, empty nesters and other service users, 5 yuan per day is enough. The "Happy Canteen" not only solves the problem of "difficulty in cooking and eating" for the elderly, helps their children solve their worries, but also allows left-behind women to find more social value here, and the happiness of the masses produces a "multiplier effect", respecting the old and loving the young, and the atmosphere of good-neighborliness and friendship is awe-inspiring.
Small canteen, big livelihood. Meal service is a 'key little thing' that the masses are concerned about, and it is also a practical matter related to the livelihood of thousands of households. Since the opening of the Happy Canteen, the Women's Federation has given full play to its linkage advantages, carefully organized and vigorously promoted, and insisted on using the services of women volunteers and the temperature of meals to warm the happiness of the people in the village. Up to now, Longnan City has built 100 "happy canteens", set up 100 "happy canteen" mother posts, and participated in 1,486 women's volunteer services.
