Chapter 30 Poor Villages
After Song Wenmo and the others got off the plane, they first went to a local poor village in Yunnan.
The village chief of the poor village arranged a place for them to live.
Song Wenmo, who has been pampered since she was a child, has never been to this kind of place, but looks like Gao Yue, who is younger than her, adapts faster.
The task given to Gao Yue and Song Wenmo by Lin Zhaoxiong is to chat with the local villagers every day and understand the situation in the village.
When they have nothing to do, help them do some farm work and piggyback on the materials.
On this day, Gao Yue and Lin Zhaoxiong went to do other things, leaving Song Wenmo alone in the village.
Song Wenmo had no choice but to wander around, I don't know if it was a personality problem or a communication problem, she and the villagers here obviously couldn't talk.
There were even times when Song Wenmo couldn't understand what they were saying.
Song Wenmo had no choice but to wander around.
In the blink of an eye, Song Wenmo and the others had been living in this small village in Yunnan for three days.
Lin Zhaoxiong told her that this is a key poverty alleviation village in Yunnan, that is, a poor village.
Impoverished Village ......
At the beginning, Song Wenmo had no concept of poor villages, but after living here for a while, she began to understand something.
Song Wenmo came to this village, and the biggest feeling was that the air here was very fresh.
It is not so much that Song Wenmo came to this village to be a listener, but rather that she came to this village to be an observer.
The house here looks small, but it has a lot of organs.
The only pity is that she hasn't seen the young adults in this village after coming for so long.
On the contrary, the most common ones are the elderly and children.
The village chief said that because this village is a poor village, most of the young and middle-aged people in the family have gone out to work, and some have gone to university in other places, so only the elderly and children are left in the village.
Those children go to the primary school in the village. Now the universal is nine-year compulsory education, those tuition fees, book fees, are not to pay, especially the state, but also give poverty subsidies, basically do not have to worry about anything.
The elderly in the family are planting the land every day, cooking for the children, and there is no salary, that is, they live on the subsistence allowance issued from above.
Although the children in the family will often send money back, those old people are reluctant to spend it, they save all the money, saying: "Keep it for the children at home for school." ”
Sometimes, they will also take the vegetables they grow to the town and sell them.
Now people in those towns and cities love to eat the vegetables we grow in the countryside.
They say that this kind of dish, which does not sprinkle chemical fertilizers, is a green vegetable and is healthy.
Therefore, the people in the village are not worried that their vegetables will not be sold, but the amount will be very small.
The village chief has been transferred from above for nearly two years, and he looks like he is in his sixties.
But the village chief said that his first batch of college students took the civil service exam after graduation. Work and everything are in the city, but living in the city is too noisy. Later, when he heard that he was saying that he would send people to poor villages and poor counties to help the poor, he immediately signed up. He felt that it was a blessing to be able to work in this village.
Every day he followed these villagers to do farm work, and every moment he was looking for a suitable way for the people in this village to get rich.
However, there are too few young adults in the village to implement it.
So, we can only wait!
In the first year, the village chief visited the whole village.
This village is not small, but there is a large wasteland.
The village chief looked at the wasteland in front of him, grabbed a handful of soil, and felt the quality of the soil.
Although this is a wasteland, the soil is still good.
The village chief handed a photo of the land to his superiors, as well as some information he knew, and handed it to the higher-ups.
I hope that the superiors can approve him to develop this land and let the villagers grow organic vegetables.
In less than a week, the order from the higher authorities came down.
The focus on poverty alleviation, the most efficient is fast!
The village chief said that this wasteland, he once led Song Wenmo to see, that piece of land, is really big, there are many white greenhouses, the village chief said, it is a greenhouse, dedicated to the villagers, a place to grow vegetables.
In the first year of poverty alleviation, the process was a little slow because the labor force of the elderly was limited and they could not be overworked.
It wasn't until the Spring Festival that the project was officially launched.
During the Spring Festival, it is time for all the sons and daughters of migrant workers to return to the village.
They heard that the village was going to build a vegetable greenhouse to help the village alleviate poverty, and they were very happy.
Nowadays, people pay more and more attention to health and health, and this pollution-free vegetable is what they really need.
When all the sons and daughters of the village had returned, they put on hoes and shovels and went out to the wasteland to pull weeds and hoe the soil.
The surface of the soil was very yellow, but after the disdainful efforts of the villagers, the soil also returned to its normal color.
In the village, there are a few families who raise cattle and sheep, and in order to raise soil, they will let those cattle and sheep go to the field and step on it.
When the soil was completely healthy enough to grow vegetables, the village began the huge plan to build a greenhouse.
The greenhouse was built very quickly and was completed in less than two days.
At first, Song Wenmo was worried that the people in the village would have conflicts because of the distribution of land and labor.
The village chief said that not at all.
This is because the land of every household is equally distributed.
They have a fixed time every day to go to the fields to water and fertilize.
Those young adults are still working in other places to supplement their families, so the village is full of old people.
The village chief found special vegetable buyers, those suppliers, who trusted the village very much, and trusted the villagers who grew vegetables in the village.
Every time the village chief thought of this, he couldn't stop laughing.
The elderly usually have land at home, and they will also grow some vegetables at home for their own consumption.
At that time, when the buyers came, they didn't believe that the greenhouse vegetables in the village were organic vegetables, so the villagers led the buyers to go to the house for a walk.
The vegetables grown at home and the vegetables in the shed are the same in terms of quality and color.
The villagers eat these dishes every day, how can they deceive people.
Organic vegetables have a longer maturation time and a higher price, and the profits made by those sellers from them are also very large.
But they didn't lower their credit worthiness because of this.
I didn't secretly add catalytic fertilizers to those vegetables.
Rural people have an indescribable honesty, and they feel that because of people's trust in themselves, they can buy vegetables at a good price.
The village is still that village, the people are still that group of people, and only when the spirit is rich can they be truly rich.
The village chief shouts this sentence from the loudspeaker of the village every day, cheering for the villagers, and only by living hard can life be rewarded.
Song Wenmo lived here for three days, eating the same food with the villagers every day.
But she felt that she had eaten the best food in her life, and that was all the love of these villagers.
Although Song Wenmo can't understand what the old people in the village are saying, she can still understand what the children in the village are talking about, after all, Mandarin education is now being popularized in schools.
Those children go to primary school in the village, and after graduating from primary school, they go directly to the junior high school in the town.
I heard that the teachers in the village were also sent to teach.
Among them, there is a female teacher, she and Song Wenmo have the same surname, and every time I see her, Song Wenmo feels very close.
The village chief also likes this Teacher Song very much, and often teases Teacher Song, saying that he will let his grandson marry Teacher Song and let Teacher Song be his daughter-in-law.
Every time he said this, Mr. Song would bow his head in embarrassment, his face was red and very shy. just said in a rambling manner: "She has someone she likes, and she will get married in two years." ”
The village chief was also sad because of this, feeling that his grandson did not have this blessing.
When Teacher Song was not in class, Song Wenmo would often go to talk to Teacher Song.
Teacher Song, who came down to teach a year ago, said that in many places in China now, education is not universal, and many children have no place to go to school.
Even, every morning at five o'clock, get up, walk for two hours on the mountain road, to get to the county elementary school. Their faces were full of thirst for knowledge.
Because of this, Mr. Song resolutely decided to go to the countryside to teach.
She felt that those children had the right to a wider range of knowledge.
Every month, Ms. Song asks her family to send her some oversized photos.
During class, she pasted all the photos on the blackboard for her classmates to look at one by one.
Teacher Song often thinks that it would be great if there was multimedia in the village, so that the children can better understand the outside world.
In the village, except for the village chief's home, there is no television, and there is only one landline phone in their home, which is dedicated to contacting their children who work outside the home.
The village chief bought a projector a few months ago, and said that every night in the future, he would download some news on the Internet, what kind of cultural variety shows, and show them to everyone.
Song Wenmo went to watch it almost every night, because only at that time, the whole village was sitting together neatly and looking at the screen in front of them.
Teacher Song knew that they were reporters from the city, and they must have come so far to this poor village this time to collect materials, so they allowed Song Wenmo to go to her class to listen to the lectures and take pictures.
Teacher Song also secretly told Song Wenmo some things that the village chief didn't tell her.
As for the greenhouse vegetables, almost every family in the village was allocated land, but only the village chief and his family did not have it.
The people in the village are all old people, and they will inevitably be too busy sometimes, and when they are unwell, they cannot go to the greenhouse to water and fertilize the land.
Therefore, the village chief has always been alone, busy from the inside to the outside.
