"Come and see how beautiful the environment in our village is now!" The roads in the village are clean and spacious, the front and back of every house, the yard, the home, the kitchen, the bathroom are clean, the neighbors are harmonious, and the streets are full of 'beautiful courtyards and happy homes'! Living in the village is much more comfortable than in the city now. In Qingdao Jimo District Wenquan Street Shesheng Houjie Grid Village (referred to as Houjie Village), Ji Chunying enthusiastically showed the creation of the "beautiful courtyard" in the village.

"Backstreet Village has become beautiful, and it is inseparable from their 'Red Girl Scout Army'." The "Red Women's Army" in Ji Chunying's mouth is the 12 executive committee members of the grass-roots women's federation in Houjie Village, with an average age of nearly 60 years old. Ji Chunying is the deputy captain of this "Red Girl Scout Army", she is the oldest, 72 years old, is a 50-year-old party member.

"The village secretary said that women comrades 'clean diligently, love to be clean, can pull, and are good at launching', and these 12 female street chiefs are all conscientious and responsible." Ji Chunying said.

Houjie Village was originally a relatively backward village with economic conditions and infrastructure, since April this year, the new two committees have implemented the help and package grid system in the village, with the "Red Girl Scouts" serving as street chiefs and grid members, each responsible for a grid area, courtyard cleaning and sorting, village environmental sanitation, neighborhood dispute mediation, illegal building inspection and other large and small affairs are responsible for the street chief.

Since then, this "Red Detachment of Women" has gone out early and returned late every day, walking around and around the village without any problems, looking at the maintenance of the village environment, helping the old and weak villagers to do their work, which family has something to mediate and mediate in the past, explain the policies of the higher levels to the villagers, distribute clear papers and propaganda posters, and call on every household in the village to participate in the purification, greening, and beautification of their own small courtyards and the village environment.

Driven by the "Red Women's Army", every household in Houjie Village has participated in the creation of the "Beautiful Courtyard Happy Home" and the improvement of the village environment, and the enthusiasm, enthusiasm and love of the "Red Women's Army" for the village have stimulated the enthusiasm of all villagers to participate in the creation and revitalization of the countryside of the "Beautiful Courtyard Happy Home", and the Backstreet Village has also leapt from a dirty and backward village to an advanced village with a clean and beautiful living environment in just a few months, and has been rated as the benchmark village of "Beautiful Courtyard Happy Home" in Qingdao City.
