On April 25th, I walked into Yaoshide Village, Baiying Town, Tangyin County, with spacious rural roads and green pastoral scenery, full of vitality.
In the production workshop of Meizhen Coarse Cloth Workshop in the east of the village, 15 looms are neatly placed in two rows, and the sound of "chirp and chirp" is heard. However, there is no sigh of Mulan's "only hearing the sigh of the girl", but "a sound of a machine, full of happiness".
The shuttle in the hands of the "old weaver girl" Yao Yanfen did not stop for a moment, and the laughter with the sisters next to her drowned out the sound of "clang".
"This group of old sisters is happy every day, and this has become their 'happy workshop'. Ma Meizhen, secretary of the Party branch of Yaoshide Village, patted Yao Yanfen's shoulder and laughed.
It is understood that Meizhen Coarse Cloth Workshop was established in 2019, and the founder is Ma Meizhen, with the main business mode of absorbing rural idle labor and hand-producing bedding such as coarse cloth sheets. The "Weaver Girls" work without time restrictions, cooking, picking up and dropping off students, and earning money. Under normal circumstances, it is not a problem to earn 70 yuan per person per day.
In one corner of this 200-square-meter production workshop, several discarded looms are stacked. "This is the 'great hero' of our village. Ma Meizhen pointed at them. It turned out that several poor households in the village this year relied on their hard-working hands to get rid of poverty by weaving old coarse cloth. Nowadays, there are still people who rely on weaving old coarse cloth to embark on the road of happiness and live a new life.
When Ma Meizhen introduced the display products to the customers who came to buy bedding, she smiled and shook out a little secret. "Now, we also sell goods through live streaming on the Douyin platform, and our products are exported to Guangzhou, Zhengzhou, Shanxi and other parts of the country. ”
Ma Meizhen said that this alone can increase the income of the village collective by more than 60,000 yuan per year, plus the income from land transfer, the annual income of the village collective of Yaoshide Village reaches more than 200,000 yuan, which was unthinkable before.
