For more than a century, on both sides of the Dasha River, there have been folk songs that read, "Winter and spring are white, the flood season is watery, only the clams are heard, and the sand is not collected." After the founding of New China, after more than 70 years of unremitting management, the Dasha River finally locked the "salon", and the two banks became the "Oasis of the Fruit Sea".

"We are good at playing the 'family affection card' to attract capable people to return home." Secretary Han Fangxing said that the implementation of the "swallows homecoming" action, the use of the Spring Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival and other traditional festivals, the holding of Lulou Town outside the hometown of the people back to the hometown forum, mobilize the outside people to take the initiative to integrate into the tide of hometown development. Since last year, Lulou Town has attracted 32 college and secondary school graduates, 21 talents such as migrant workers and businessmen, and 6 business owners who have returned to their hometowns to start a business.
Li Jiaxiang, 53, is a native of Luhanzhuang Village, Lulou Town. 30 years ago, after graduating from high school, Li Jiaxiang once went to the three northeastern provinces to work in construction. Later, when he returned to his hometown, he often went to the nearby Dashahe Forest Farm to collect wild mushrooms and sell them for money. In that year, he contracted several acres of land, collected mushroom seeds from the locust forest on the banks of the Dasha River, and explored the cultivation technology of edible mushrooms. After many failures, his mushroom cultivation techniques later paid off and were very profitable. He led the cooperative to cooperate with the research team of edible mushroom domestication and cultivation in the agricultural science department, and continued to carry out the introduction and suitable planting experiments of excellent new varieties such as morel ear, elm mushroom, monkey brain fungus and wool fungus. Today, under his leadership, more than 120 people in the village have grown mushrooms to get rich.

Li Jiaxiang's Xuzhou Shuoxun Biotechnology Development Co., Ltd. covers an area of 160 acres, with a total investment of more than 50 million yuan, and has formed a pattern of online and offline exhibition and sales of edible mushroom packages. Walking into the huge factory area, rows of drying racks are neatly "arranged", just like a large-scale photovoltaic power station. Dozens of workers shuttled through it, constantly flipping through mushroom products such as wool fungus and monkey brain fungus that were being dried.
Coincidentally, after the "post-80s" boy Sheng Sikun took off his military uniform, he also returned to his hometown to start a business. He has sold seafood, opened a supermarket, and three years ago he returned to his hometown to transfer 206 acres of land and founded the Peixian Shengkaiyuan fruit and vegetable planting family farm. The farm has fruits all year round, nectarines, dragon fruit, mulberries, strawberries, cherries, tomatoes, peppers, eggplants and other characteristic fruits and vegetables are favored by the market, and the sales income will be more than 3 million yuan in 2020.

"A person who is rich is not rich, but a rich villager is really rich." While personally working hard to start a business, Sheng Sikun took the initiative to help more than 30 people around the farm solve employment problems. Under his influence, his neighbors came to learn from him, and he enthusiastically taught planting techniques and assisted everyone in planning to establish their own planting bases.
Yan Suxia, 53 years old this year, is a native of Lulou Kongzhuang Village, and her husband has been in poor health and has no ability to work. After Sheng Sikun learned about the situation, he took the initiative to absorb Yan Suxia to work on the farm for many years. "My family's 4 acres of land are transferred to the farm operation, and there is a rent of more than 4,000 yuan per year. Working on the farm can still earn more than 70 yuan per day, and you can also take care of your family in time. "Yan Suxia is full of confidence in her future life.
