The three words "village secretary" mean a heavy mission and responsibility, the trust of the organization, the entrustment of the leadership, and the expectations of the masses. Meng Xiong, a model worker in Baiyin City, secretary of the Party branch and director of the village committee of Yuan'ancha Village, Gangouyi Town, kept in mind the original mission, took the standardization of branch construction as the starting point, led the masses to continuously improve the infrastructure, develop the vegetable industry, and showed the responsibility of a grassroots party organization secretary on the road of rural revitalization. Today, let's walk into Yuan'ancha Village, Gangouyi Town, and learn about Meng Xiong's youth story rooted in the grassroots.
In October 2020, Meng Xiong was elected as the full-time party organization secretary, but the village secretary's stool was not yet "hot", and the three "old difficulties" of weak infrastructure, abandoned arable land, and low collective economic income were placed in front of him. To be a party branch secretary who is trusted by the masses, there is no shortcut to take, and only when he does a good job can he give an account to the people, Meng Xiong humbly learned from the old comrades in his ordinary work, and slowly, he also had work experience and skills.
Meng Xiong, Secretary of the Party Branch and Director of the Village Committee of Yuan'ancha Village, Gangouyi Town, and Model Worker of Baiyin City: When I first came, I was afraid that I would not be able to do a good job, because I had no experience, I was very anxious, and I was afraid that I would not be able to explain to the people of the village, so I went to communicate with the old branch secretary, the team leader, and the two village committees. They have taught me a lot of experience in grassroots work, taught me a lot of skills to communicate with the people, and their help has made me full of energy, and I must have the idea that the countryside must be revitalized and the industry must go first.
"They have land in our village, they can develop, we can do it", Meng Xiong aimed at industrial development, and the cadres of the village went to the surrounding towns to investigate and study, learn from experience, and finally introduced Henan and Zhejiang merchants to plant seedless watermelons, so that the vegetable greenhouses effectively drove the villagers to increase their income and get rich. In accordance with the idea of "creating a brand, developing an industry, and enriching the people", Yuan'ancha Village has developed and expanded the village collective economy by vigorously renovating abandoned land, concentrating on contiguous circulation of land, building a vegetable industry base, and establishing cooperatives, forming a development model of "party branch + merchant + cooperative + farmer".
Yao Yongsheng, head of the Xinhongsheng Planting Farmers Professional Cooperative in Huining County: At that time, I saw that the southerners planted melons very well and made money, so I thought that I would also grow melons, and the village also mobilized us to plant melons and drive the local people to plant melons. In the first year, I planted 70 acres of melons, the second year, it increased to 150 acres of melons, this year I planted another 150 acres of watermelons, and in order to diversify the development, I planted more than 300 acres of zucchini, hoping to have a bumper harvest this year.
Meng Xiong, Secretary of the Party Branch and Director of the Village Committee of Yuan'ancha Village, Gangouyi Town, and Model Worker of Baiyin City: We have transferred 1,350 acres of land in Yuan'ancha Village, built 2,700 greenhouses, and it is now the third year, and 100 migrant jobs can be added every year in the past three years, and the income of farmers is "circulation fee + dividend + labor", which has greatly increased the income of farmers, and the average annual income of households has increased by more than 5,000 yuan.
The land in Yuan'ancha Village is dry land, the village is seriously aging, the villagers transfer the land to the village committee, and the village gives the transfer fee and dividends every year.
Sun Caixiu, a villager from Yuan'ancha Village, Gangouyi Town, Huining County: My land was transferred out the year before last, and the village gave a circulation fee of 400 yuan and a dividend of 200 yuan, leaving three acres of land to plant corn, feed chickens and pigs. When the farm is slack, we work in the melon shed, and the common people work nearby, and when we are older, we don't go outside.
The collective economy of the village has developed and expanded, and the infrastructure has also kept up with the pace of development, and the appearance of Yuan'ancha Village has been renewed, laying a solid foundation for rural revitalization. Looking at the changes in the village in the past few years, the villagers gave a thumbs up to this young village party secretary who can endure hardships, dare to work hard, and can really do practical things for everyone.
Li Yuan, a villager from Yuan'ancha Village, Gangouyi Town, Huining County: After Meng Zhishu was transferred to our village, great changes have taken place in the village, and the village site has been built, and the village site is a symbol of a village, giving the people the feeling that it is a new look; second, it is also relatively convenient to build a cultural square; we have organized a theatrical performance and a tug-of-war competition during the Spring Festival this year, which has enriched the cultural life of the common people, and we are quite satisfied; we have applied for hardened roads for each village group, and now almost every village group of the eight village groups has reached the hardening standard; and we have introduced merchants to plant greenhouses and transfer land, thus greatly increasing the peasants' incomes。 Generally speaking, after Meng Zhishu came, he did practical things for the people of Yuan An, and practical things related to the interests of the people.
Live up to the youth and live up to the village. Meng Xiong painted his own chapter of youth on the yellow earth of Yuan'ancha Village, and he used a young person's momentum and full enthusiasm to ignite the spark of rural revitalization in Yuan'ancha Village.
Meng Xiong, Secretary of the Party Branch and Director of the Village Committee of Yuan'ancha Village, Gangouyi Town, and Model Worker of Baiyin City: In the next step, our village will continue to seize the opportunity of rural revitalization, optimize the industrial structure, continue to improve the construction of infrastructure services, and enhance the villagers' sense of satisfaction, happiness and gain.
