Poor families in Baitang Village of Ding'an get a good harvest by planting lotus fog.

Wu Lifeng is picking lotus mist.

Early in the morning of the 2nd, in Qishi Village, Baitang Village Committee, Huangzhu Town, Ding'an County, I saw that the purchase car had arrived at the entrance of the village, and Wu Lifeng, a poor household, hurried to his lotus fog garden.

In the orchard, more than a dozen fruit trees with more than one person's height swayed their plump posture, and the plump and bright lotus fruits among the green leaves surrounded each other, bending the slender branches of the fruit trees.

"everyone knows that my lotus fog is good. As soon as the holiday is over, the purchasers can no longer sit still and are eager to come to the door to harvest the fruit. " Although work will start early in the morning, Wu Lifeng's face is brimming with a bright smile. "now is the best time to harvest lotus fog, the fruit is crisp and sweet, and the selling price is rising all the way up after the holiday."

"planting lotus fog can be regarded as the right choice." Wu Lifeng said that in the past, he made a living from two mu of paddy fields and a piece of rubber forest. he worked hard all year and earned less than 2,000 yuan. With the encouragement of the village cadres, he cut down the rubber trees in his home and planted more than a dozen lotus trees.

Lotus is a delicate crop. In order to take good care of the lotus seedlings, Wu Lifeng squatted in the orchard every day. Village cadres even came to his home every now and then to give him pesticides and organic fertilizers, and taught him how to prune lotus flowers, promote flowers, fertilize and administer medicine.

"as soon as the lotus fog had a bumper harvest, it gave me a precious taste of happiness." Wu Lifeng, who was born in a jacket, long trousers and orange leather shoes, said happily, "I haven't bought new clothes for several years. I made more than 2,000 yuan selling lotus fog a year ago, and I bought myself a new set of clothes." He calculated that after the lotus was harvested, the income could reach more than 10,000 yuan.

During the chat, the picking work has been completed. Wu Lifeng sent bags of lotus fruit to the purchase cart. Looking at the bright red fruit, he made up his mind: "this year, we will continue to increase the planting scale and strive to get rid of poverty as soon as possible."
