He Weihong, a poor household in Macheng, Hubei Province, raises sheep to become rich

The picture shows the goat raised by he Weihong.

"twittering." The sound of the bird is clear and sweet. "BAA, baa, baa." The cries of sheep echoed in the valley.

Following bursts of sheep cries, the mountain road is curved, the slope is steep, and around the ridge is Hu Jiashan, which is three four li road on the northeast corner of Shanshuping Village, Sanhekou Town, Macheng City.

But see: the wind is light, the clouds are light, the water is blue, the sky is blue, the grass is green, the sheep is a little bit. There is a spring scene of "the sky is grey and wild, and the wind blows grass as low as cattle and sheep".

On the morning of March 27, under the leadership of he Mingtao, secretary of the party branch of Shanshuping Village, the author and his party soon met with he Weihong, a poor family in Shanshuping Village, Sanhekou Town, who is the protagonist of the story.

With such a beautiful scenery, the communication with the shepherd is naturally relaxed and comfortable.

He Weihong, in his forties, is dark, energetic and simple. Beside the sheep, the simple and honest shepherd told his shepherd story.

It turned out that his life was very hard, very difficult.

In 2010, my father worked at a construction site out of town. One day, the sudden fall of the crane took the life of his father who was working. Soon after, the mother, who heard the news of her father's tragic death, had a sudden cerebral infarction, and most of the blood vessels did not flow smoothly and lost their ability to work.

From then on, the financial resources of the whole family depended on he Weihong alone, and the heavy burden of life left him out of breath.

He Weihong thinks hard that she is not highly educated, but she is in good health. As long as she can endure hardships, it is not impossible to get rid of poverty. He analyzed: Shanshuping Village is a hilly area with undulating hills and rich vegetation, which is very suitable for raising sheep.

So he discussed starting his own business with his wife, who worked outside the country, and decided to develop sheep farming.

In 2013, the couple cobbled together 10,000 yuan to buy more than 10 breeder sheep from a farmer in Huangtugang town. After a year of hard work, it finally grew to 50 goats.

However, the good times did not last long: the mother suddenly got worse and was hospitalized, the wife was in physical condition, and the two children had to go to school again. The heavy financial burden once again dashed the young man's hopes.

At this time, the sunshine of the Party's poverty alleviation policy was shining in the ravines of the poor mountain areas.

On August 23, 2015, Shanshuping Village found that he Weihong's family was very difficult because of illness, school and other reasons. after accurate identification, he Weihong's family was included in the scope of poor households.

In view of he Weihong's lack of funds, skills, and housing, village cadres in Sanhekou Town and Shanshuping Village prescribed the right medicine to help he Weihong solve practical difficulties.

In 2016, a subsidy of 1,000 yuan per year was given to each child through education poverty alleviation funds to ensure that the children went to school. On May 17, he organized a small loan of 30,000 yuan to help him develop and grow his aquaculture industry. At the beginning of this year, he was provided with 100 square meters of housing at the Bifengchong settlement in Sanhekou Town, which solved the difficulty that his family had no house to live in. In addition, difficult tasks such as selecting sites, building sheep sheds, and coordinating villagers' relations, the town poverty alleviation office and village cadres always showed up at he Weihong's home at the first time.

Zhan Yinan, political commissar of the Municipal Ministry of people's Armed Forces, goes to he Weihong's home many times every year, solves practical difficulties, has a heart-to-heart talk with him, and often sends condolences money to he Weihong.

The good policy of the party and the sincere concern of the leaders have once again ignited he Weihong's dream of raising sheep. He made up his mind to seize the opportunity to develop the sheep industry.

In the early days of starting his own business, while exchanging experiences with experienced sheep farmers, he studied sheep raising techniques from books. How to prevent epidemic, how to take care of lambs, how to breed with high quality. After a year of exploration, he Weihong finally found a new way to get rich by raising sheep.

He Weihong raised goats in the mountains, ate tender leaves and drank mountain springs, not only green ecology, but also delicious goat meat, the market of his goats opened up.

Although he Weihong would drive the sheep to the mountain at eight or nine o'clock every day, and then go to the mountain to find the sheep back in the pen at five or six o'clock in the afternoon, there was no break in the wind and rain, but he never cried bitterly or shouted tiredly, and always enjoyed it, because he was always supported by dreams and interests.

While we were talking, I saw a woman coming on the opposite hill. "Qiao Qiao Xian Xi, beautiful eyes look forward to Xi, always regard as gorgeous." It seems that the verse in the Book of songs is not too much to describe. Bright smile, beautiful eyes, red face cast with a touch of pink.

Secretary he said that the woman was he Weihong's wife from Jiangxi. Such a woman marries a poor family in the depths of the mountain? Curiosity gives the author a reason to find them a good match.

"it's not terrible to marry in the countryside, as long as you have a good character. It is not terrible that the family is not rich, as long as people are diligent. Life will be better if you rely on your hands and stand hard work. He does not dislike the poverty of his family and the smell of mutton on him, just because he has an ideal. " The barrage of answers was overwhelming.

It is also the supplement of he Mingtao, the village secretary: "people are not afraid of being poor, they are afraid of being poor." Because of our ambition, we have the charm to attract beautiful girls from girls from rich places to our mountain ditch. The change of thinking is the key to getting rid of poverty.

"he Weihong actually had a dream of raising sheep a long time ago, but the conditions restricted him. Since he became rich by raising sheep, he seems to have changed his personality. not only has his personality become cheerful, but he has also become more diligent. He has begun to try to do everything in the cloud. Last year, only the planting income exceeded 10,000, and now there are at least 150 lambs, with an annual income of 36000 yuan. under his influence and leadership, poor families in the village have also developed special farming and planting. " The village branch secretary told the author happily.

This reminds the author of the scene when Zhan Yinan, political commissar of the Ministry of people's Armed Forces, was consoling the poor families not long ago. Political commissar Zhan went deep into he Weihong's house and had a heart-to-heart talk with him. I heard that he Weihong did not wait for others to shake off poverty and become rich. Political commissar Zhan affectionately said: "where there is a dream, there is a miracle. It's a good way for you to explore new ways and take off the hat of poverty. "

It turns out that in the balance of he Weihong's love, his shepherd dream is also the biggest weight.

When it comes to life planning, the shy he Weihong expressed her intention, with a happy smile on her face.

He Weihong decided not only to expand the number of sheep to 300, but also to develop chicken, duck and goose farming according to local conditions, so as to form a characteristic breeding industry. Together with his wife, he wants to connect his dream with the economic growth of Shanshuping Village, work diligently, work without complaint, and lead more people to realize their dream of becoming rich and realize the value of life.

There is a way to get rid of poverty, and there is a red flag of the party in the heart. Just as the author was about to leave, he Weihong submitted an application to the branch secretary he Mingtao to join the party.
