In Zangzhuang Village, Kongcun Town, in the green wheat field, Sun Yongzhen, the first secretary of Zangzhuang Village, is checking the growth of wheat, according to him, this is already the tenth month that he was stationed in Zangzhuang Village by Jinan Rail Transit Group, from the beginning of "can't distinguish wheat leeks", to now agricultural machinery, forklift driving operation is easy, in Sun Yongzhen's own words is "really a real farmer!"
In June 2023, when Sun Yongzhen first arrived in Zangzhuang Village, even though he was mentally prepared, when he really saw the stone houses and the village road without street lights, Sun Yongzhen still inevitably had a certain gap in his heart. ”
In the course of further visits, Sun Yongzhen learned that the elderly over 65 years old in the village account for more than one-third of the permanent population, and there are many elderly people who live alone, widows and elderly people, and some elderly people have to eat a meal all day in the morning, especially in winter, and being able to eat a hot meal has become the biggest wish of the left-behind old people.
In order to effectively solve the problem of "difficult to cook and eat" for the left-behind elderly, the two village committees have discussed many times, but the funds are a major problem in front of them. After formulating a detailed plan, the dispatched unit mobilized employees to participate in the online fundraising activity, and the employees responded one after another. Sun Yongzhen himself took the lead in donating 1,000 yuan, and finally raised a total of 14,700 yuan. It not only effectively solves the problems of eating and emotional loneliness for the elderly, but also reduces the family burden for the villagers who work in other places.
The livelihood of the elderly in the village is guaranteed, and the happiness index of the villagers is also increasing. Next, how to make the villagers rich has become an urgent matter. After various considerations and on-the-spot investigations, the two village committees decided to first solve the problem of no harvesting agricultural machinery in the village, further liberate the productive forces, and promote the rapid development of the agricultural industry. After discussing with the two village committees, Sun Yongzhen put the purchase of agricultural machinery and tools on the agenda, and used special assistance funds to pre-purchase a wheat combine harvester and a corn combine harvester. In this way, not only can the harvest progress of the village be accelerated, but the village leader can also run the cooperative to be responsible for the external operation during the vacancy period, and hire surplus labor to participate in the operation, so as to increase the income of the villagers.
With the rise of rural tourism, Zangzhuang Village also intends to integrate the resources of the village and develop rural tourism. They have formulated a characteristic tourism development idea based on traditional farming and supported by ecological breeding and rural one-day tours. Sun Yongzhen led the two committees of the village to the surrounding villages of Jinan for field investigations, and after returning, Sun Yongzhen actively recommended the project to his friends, and established a family farm of 23 acres of land through the introduction of capital, in order to raise poultry and plant pollution-free vegetables and grains, and initially build a composite ecological farm integrating adoption and picking, as a characteristic project in the village. At present, two chicken coops have been built in the family farm, raising more than 600 chicks of various types, and solving the employment problem for three villagers without income. Subsequently, "uncommon" crop seedlings and seeds such as "black knight tomato" and "fruit corn" have also been planted, and the first batch of crops is expected to mature in July and August this year.
In order to attract more tourists, Sun Yongzhen effectively connected the farm in Zangzhuang Village with Magang Park, Biyang Village Grape Plantation, Qianzhuan Village's former residence of Lian and Luze Painting Academy, forming a new "Pingyin Day Tour" route, after this tour, the tourists finally returned to Zangzhuang Village, claimed a fruit tree or a chicken in the family farm, and waited for them to grow up slowly, which also formed an indissoluble bond for the next visit to Zangzhuang Village.
"Traditional farming, farm construction, and rural day trips, these three measures are all aimed at achieving the double improvement of the village collective economy and the income of villagers, and regard it as a long-term development and sustainable development work. Sun Yongzhen said. (Reporter Zou Changjiang)
