Chapter 25: Changes
Zhang Xuejun checked the weather forecast for J County in the next few days through his mobile phone, and fortunately, it was either sunny to cloudy, or cloudy to sunny or breeze. It is suitable for visiting and investigating.
Looking up, the sky was blue, cloudless, and the breeze was blowing. The current weather forecast is also more accurate than before, Zhang Xuejun smiled.
Looking at the inspection guide, the activity schedule in the past few days is still relatively tight.
After arriving in J County safely, everyone was in high spirits, and after lunch, they took a short rest and set off.
At about three o'clock in the afternoon, a wide river appeared in front of the bus, and Zhang Xuejun knew that the first inspection point, River Village, was about to arrive.
The bus slowly drove up an embankment in the left direction and slowly moved along the river. The embankment is about ten meters wide, and the dark asphalt is paved on it, making it a smooth ride.
The river is long and wide, and you can't see the two ends when you sit in the car, and the river is about fifty or sixty meters wide. The banks of the river are lined with willows and other trees, and the long willows twist and shrivel in the breeze, as if to welcome guests from afar.
Ten minutes later, the bus drove down the river embankment and headed for the small square of the river village. There were already some people waiting in the small square. The person in charge of the local township and the person in charge of the work team stationed in Hehe Village had been waiting for a long time, and when they saw the bus coming, they immediately greeted them.
The bus slowly stopped at the square of the new party members' mass activity center in Hecun. As soon as Zhang Xuejun and his party got out of the car, they were deeply attracted by the scene in front of them.
This is a relocation home. The village surrounded by the river is neatly planned, clean and tidy ecological river, and the water is clear and green.
The new two-storey building with unified planning, the small courtyard in front of the door of the same size, one next to the other. White walls and red tiles, reflecting the blue sky and white clouds. A picture of a beautiful new countryside.
Walking into the new village, the scent of flowers and plants along the way is pleasing to the eye and refreshing, and the wide, hardened, criss-crossed access roads connect the rows of new homes, surround the farmers' crops, and plant well-growing crops in patches, indicating that this year is a good harvest year.
Entering the hall of the Hecun Party Member Mass Service Center, there are many signs of different sizes hanging on the front wall. Zhang Xuejun curiously stepped forward to take a closer look, almost every sign had similar content written on it, such as "XXXXK Center", "XXXXK Base", "XXXXK Station", "XXXXK Institute", and so on.
Zhang Xuejun silently counted them, and there were about twenty of them. A thousand threads on the top, a needle on the bottom. It seems that this is the case at the grassroots level everywhere, but it has worked hard for the peers in the grassroots community.
Under the guidance of the host, the delegation entered the conference room, and dozens of file boxes of the same model, size and color were neatly placed on the neat table.
Zhang Xuejun stepped forward to see that they were all familiar with the archives of targeted poverty alleviation. When I opened it, I saw that it was the basic information of the general poor households, the low-income poor households or the five-guarantee poor households, the assistance measures, the effectiveness, etc., and the content was similar, but it was more standardized, clean and beautiful than they filled in.
How much manpower and material resources will be spent on the materials on this table! Zhang Xuejun can't help but feel sympathy for the same disease, and it is really not easy for grassroots poverty alleviation workers!
The scene was explained by a beautiful woman, about twenty-two or three years old, with her hair tied into a ponytail and her eyebrows and beautiful eyes. Wear a headset in your ear, hang a small speaker on your waist, and hold a laser pointer in your hand. The soft sound reverberates through the small speaker, reverberating throughout the hall, no matter where you stand.
Zhang Xuejun looked at the voice of the beautiful woman and saw that she was comparing the changes before and after Hecun through some photos on the wall, introducing the past and present life of Hecun.
River Village has relied on fishing for generations to make a living. Traditional Chinese fishermen are unpretentious and simple-minded, preferring to be tired rather than "wash their feet and go ashore" easily. In recent years, the state has carried out large-scale protection of resources, refrained from large-scale development, implemented a ban on fishing in rivers and lakes, dismantled scrapped fishing boats, destroyed nets, and even more than 100 people did not dare to go ashore to make new attempts, and most of them were resistant. Through the village cadres and team members who came to the door many times and patiently persuaded them, the villagers slowly accepted it.
Industrial poverty alleviation is the basic work of targeted poverty alleviation. Without industrial support, poverty alleviation is the moon in the mirror and the flower in the water.
According to the actual situation of the retired fishermen's family members, age structure, living conditions, skill levels, etc., in accordance with the poverty alleviation policy, the implementation of assistance, so that the farmers can master an agricultural production technology, change their small peasant mentality that a small wealth is safe, to ensure that the retired fishermen "can retire steadily, can be well-off", and effectively ensure that the life of the retired fishermen is guaranteed, and will not be impoverished or returned to poverty due to the withdrawal of fishing.
In his new residence in Hecun, Zhang Xuejun and his entourage successively visited development projects such as the relocation community, the grape planting base, the jujube greenhouse planting base, photovoltaic power generation, and the renovation of the drinking water system. Every time he visited a place, the first secretary of the village gave a detailed introduction to the various measures for poverty alleviation, and it could be seen that they had made great efforts in poverty alleviation work, paid their sincere feelings, and did their best to help the village's economic development.
In summing up, the first secretary said that the establishment of the courage and perseverance to dare to think and work hard to get rich has brought them hope of shaking off poverty and becoming well-off, and has brought the masses closer to the party. Zhang Xuejun deeply agrees with this sentence.
Back in the county seat, it was already dark.
Along the way, various shiny neon lights shine brightly, making the whole city glow.
"Venus International Hotel" is particularly eye-catching.
After a morning on the bus, and a few hours in the afternoon, everyone felt a little tired. After dinner, Zhang Xuejun and Deputy Secretary Xing went back to their rooms and slept separately.
Nothing was said all night.
The next day's inspection point was in another township, called Xiaogang Village.
Xiaogang Village is more than 50 kilometers away from the county seat and is a village surrounded by mountains. In recent years, J County has actively fought for the "Five Good Rural Roads" project, built a smooth network, and accelerated the upgrading of rural roads.
Xiaogang Village is a typical mountain village. There are less than 100 households in the village, and they basically live on the mountain or halfway up the mountain. Due to the inconvenient transportation in the mountainous area and the difficulty of entering and exiting, it used to take more than a day for the villagers to go down the mountain to enter the city, but now through relocation and highway construction, it only takes 1-2 hours to enter the city. The relocation of poverty alleviation and relocation has solved the problems of difficulty for the people in the mountainous areas of Xiaogang Village to go out, seek medical treatment, and study, and has also embarked on a new path of poverty alleviation and development that is a "win-win" situation for the poor people in the mountainous areas of Gaoshen Village, which is to relocate the poor people to get rid of poverty and become rich and protect the ecological environment.
This time, the visit was arranged by a 60-year-old model household surnamed Li. Entering Lao Li's yard, he was cleaning the yard, which had been cleaned and spotless.
According to reports, since moving to his new home, he has been busy, not only taking care of the newly built vegetable greenhouse, but also taking care of the lambs. Lao Li used to live in the middle of the mountainside, and his family lived on a few acres of mountainous land, planting potatoes, corn, and peas, and the harvest in the field could only barely make ends meet. The year before last, enjoying the policy of ex-situ poverty alleviation and relocation, Lao Li's family moved into Fumin New Village.
In the second half of last year, under the guidance of agricultural technicians, Lao Li planted peppers in greenhouses, and allocated more than 10 breeding sheep to his family, and purchased more than a dozen at subsidized prices. Now, the family's income is several times higher than in previous years.
The cadres of Bao Village and the first secretary of the village in Xiaogang Village said that Lao Li is a typical representative of the village. Adopt the development model of "cooperatives + poor households", accelerate the promotion of breeding, planting, and labor as the leading industries, and guide the masses to develop beef sheep, beef cattle breeding and facility vegetable planting in accordance with the requirements of "being able to move, be stable, and get rich".
"As long as we work hard, industrial development will definitely take everyone on the road to prosperity!"
Due to the long distance, only one small village was inspected today.
In the evening, Zhang Xuejun and Deputy Secretary Xing exchanged their experiences in the past two days, and gained a new understanding of poverty alleviation work. The magnificent transformation of a city-level impoverished village into a well-off village is the unremitting pursuit and aspiration of the village-based team for many years. As a poverty alleviation worker, Zhang Xuejun is fortunate to participate in and witness this great historical process, and he believes that we should thank our party for our party's policy of benefiting the people and enriching the people!
On the third day, the investigation team went non-stop to the third inspection site - Qiu Village.
Compared with the previous two villages, Qiu Village is relatively a plain village. Without the mountains and water, the villagers can only rely on planting crops to support their families, and their lives are quite difficult.
After the targeted poverty alleviation team was stationed, combined with the geographical location and actual situation of Qiu Village, it helped to establish a vegetable planting cooperative, and then transferred the land in the village in the name of the cooperative to carry out greenhouse planting of vegetables, grapes, dragon fruit, etc. Villagers can also work in cooperatives to make money. The cooperatives are collective, and all the profits are reinvested in addition to the villagers' dividends and expenses, further expanding the scale. In less than two years, all the poor households in the village have been lifted out of poverty.
After Zhang Xuejun and the others entered Qiu Village, they saw patches of greenhouses in the vegetable base, row after row, much more arrogant than Boss Qin of Zhengjiawan Village.
That's what the boss is, and that's the big deal. Compared to here, Boss Qin is just a small thing.
Zhang Xuejun made a special trip to find the person in charge of the cooperative, asked for contact information, and said that he would visit him in the future.
