Song Fengying, Guo Yatou, Zhou Guizhen, Xiong Xiangzhen and Liu Yanzhu are 5 handymen with an average age of 68 years old
72-year-old Grandma Song Fengying, who lives in Xiaochang Jidian Township, has 2 grandchildren and 3 grandchildren in the city, she took them to school and returned to the countryside. The busy old man suddenly idled, "itchy bones", just want to find something to do.
Not far away is Tuanshan Village, Anlu ZhaoPeng Town, there is a "Wu xindian garden" planting base, lack of people to grass, fertilize, pick, she went to "apply". I was hired. Every morning, the commuter bus came to pick her up at the village entrance and took her home at 5 p.m. The same car are all female workers, Guo Yatou is 65 years old, Zhou Guizhen is 70 years old, Xiong Xiangzhen is 68 years old, Liu Yanzhu is 65 years old... They are all Zhao Shed people, not tired at work, with a daily salary of 90 yuan, rushing to talk about the happy troubles when they bring their grandchildren in the car every day, smiling like a group of little girls who go shopping.
This is the entrepreneurial story of Ye Xiaowu, a veteran of Anlu, who was interviewed by reporters recently, and the wonderful details he accidentally learned.
Ye Xiaowu's planting base is 11,000 mu, more than 100 handymen are usually needed, more than 500 people are needed for the peak of picking, and more than 180 people have come from Henan this year, more than 130 people from Shaanxi, and the company paid more than 5 million yuan in wages last year, and more than 6 million yuan this year. "Harvest is good, performance is up."
Ye Xiaowu's planting base (partial)
Ye Xiaowu "Wu" has two meanings
Ye Xiaowu is a native of Zhao Tang TuanShan Village, born in 1972, with six brothers and sisters.
Zhao Jiapeng Anti-Japanese Martyrs Monument
Changing "five" to "Wu" is to become a soldier. "Zhao Shed is an old district, and young people want to be soldiers. Li Xiannian built the New Fourth Army Advance Regiment here. The revolutionary predecessors were 'Lao Wu', and I called them 'Xiao Wu'. In 1991, he joined the army as he wished, the army was in the northeast, and he was an artilleryman for 3 years.
In 1994, he retired from the army and went to Shenzhen to work, from porter to sales manager, and did it alone. "But every day when I look at the high-rise buildings in big cities, I think of my hometown or the barren mountains of tugang..."
Li Xiannian personally planted a pine tree next to the monument in 1988

In 2008, when he returned home for the Chinese New Year, a classmate was a township cadre and encouraged him to return to his hometown. Ye Xiaowu told reporters, "At that time, the project was not well thought out, but I wanted to come back, and I went with my classmates to water the pine trees planted by Li Xiannian himself, thinking that the predecessors could think of ways in the revolutionary years, and we could think of more ways in the construction years." I'm discharged from the army, but I'm still a military mindset. ”
Create a new hometown
He returned to his hometown at the end of 2009.
ZhaoPeng Town has no big rivers, nor does it have a transit water system, which is a "dry bun" with nine droughts in ten years. He signed a contract with the village for the circulation of 535 acres of mountain farms, planting flower seedlings and fruits.

But the first step is to clear the land. Please come to the excavator to clean up 21 pond weirs, add 180,000 square meters of water storage, and solve the problem of irrigation of more than 2,000 mu of farmland downstream of tang weirs and drinking water for more than 300 livestock. What he has not done in the past few decades, he has done. In the following years, 8,000 acres of abandoned mountain farms were transferred. In 2014, Hubei Xinmin Ecological Agriculture Development Co., Ltd. was registered, and took the initiative to sign a "four-party" agreement with the town government, the village committee and the then municipal poverty alleviation office, "Never let the farmers who transfer the land suffer losses, the farmers do with me, the loss is mine, the profit is ours." The villagers enthusiastically joined in.
"But what seedlings to plant, what fruits to plant, we tried and made mistakes many times, brothers and sisters, aunts and uncles were afraid that I did not have enough funds, they also put their savings in, and I fell asleep on sleeping pills when it was most difficult." Ye Xiaowu said.
Ginkgo biloba is the first choice for planting trees, planted in 2012 200 acres do not see the length, please consult with experts of the Provincial Academy of Forestry, said that it is not suitable for planting ginkgo biloba, it is recommended to plant osmanthus trees instead. But before the osmanthus tree could support the wood, a strong wind blew down more than 300 acres, and the loss was heavy.
"If you fail outside, you can go home." I have returned home, the cauldron has been broken, the boat has sunk, and I am fighting a battle behind my back! ”
Continue to plant flowers and seedlings, too simple; the development of forest fruits and lack of technology. Professor Qin Zhonglin, director of the Fruit Tea Institute of the Provincial Academy of Agricultural Sciences, was invited to sign a technical support agreement, the fruits are mainly blueberries, three-water pears, kiwi fruits, and seedlings are planted with large-scale osmanthus flowers, cherry blossoms, weeping begonias, red leaf heather, etc. Professor Yang Fuchen said that blueberries like strong acidic, organic matter-rich, well-breathable soil. The soil in Tuanshan Village is poor, the pH value is above 6.0, and soil modification is the key. "I was a soldier in the northeast, and I asked him what the black soil in the northeast looked like, and he said that of course it was good. I went to buy soil, 300 yuan / ton, freight 400 yuan / ton, shipped back thousands of tons. "The soil testing formula was then carried out to improve the acidity.
Experts explain and guide planting to the base workers throughout the process. For example, pesticides cannot be applied, and the sticky worm board is densely packed among the fruit trees, and the sweet and sour liquid is hung under the lamp to trap the insects. Villager Ye Guanglin participated in fruit planting in 2014, learning to prune whole branches, pick and grade, store and preserve freshness. Nowadays, more than 20 people such as Ye Mingjie and Wang Xiangzhi have become the company's "science and technology leaders".
In 2016, the yield of 500 kilograms per mu was great news for Ye Xiaowu. With the policy support of the town government, experts and professors of science and technology intervention, the enthusiasm of the villagers, the former barren mountains have slowly become picturesque in all seasons, melons and fruits are fragrant, 3200 acres of blueberries, 1200 acres of three-water pears and New Zealand kiwifruit, American peaches and other fruit bases have been built, with osmanthus flowers, cherry blossoms, weeping begonias, red leaf heather-based flower seedlings developed to 2400 acres, and 700 acres of water surface is clear as a mirror, and the shore of the windward grass is still specially planted.
New hometown, new life
The base is booming, first of all, the villagers have increased their income. Ye Guanglin and his wife used to be sick for many years, now they have become planting experts, and they also want to raise native chickens, Ye Xiaowu provides free venues, water and electricity, and provides 120,000 yuan of support free of charge, and last year he made 200,000 yuan just by raising chickens.
The miscellaneous wages were cashed in one month, and Song Fengying said, "No point is bad, Ye is always a cheerful person." "Most of the people who come to work are empty nest elderly people, the average age is 63 years old, in addition to the income of migrant workers, there are also circulation fees and stock dividends in the village, and the per capita annual income is about 20,000 yuan."
Tourists come to "Wu Xin Dian Garden" to experience picking
Fresh fruits are exported from the source, and tourists from Xiaochang, Guangshui, Suizhou, Dawu, Wuhan and other places have come from driving tours on weekends and holidays. This year's National Day holiday, more than 3,000 tourists a day. Villager Ye Qunming was the first to open a farm, earning 60,000 or 70,000 yuan a year.
Villager Cao Junjuan told reporters: "We have capital in the circle of friends now, the former barren mountains, now green water and green mountains, golden mountains and silver mountains." ”
Wang Yongbo, mayor of Zhaopeng Town, introduced that Ye Xiaowu is the leader of the returnees of Anlu, and he has built a barren mountain into a "national standardized planting demonstration base", "Hubei Leisure Agriculture Demonstration Zone", "Xiaogan City Agricultural Industrialization Key Leading Enterprise", "Financial Precision Support Flower Arrangement Village Industrial Poverty Alleviation Base" and other honors, and also participated in the public welfare undertakings in his hometown, donating money to support hardening village-level roads, etc.; since his return to his hometown, he has donated more than 20,000 yuan to the town education foundation every year.
"Here is my root, the company's development can not be separated from the support of the hometown, the return is taken for granted, and recreating the hometown is to make the hometown fathers and elders happier." Ye Xiaowu said.
