In the southwest of Nancun Town, Zezhou County, there is a small mountain village called Futou Village, where the well water is sweet, the environment is beautiful and the folkways are simple. The old people left behind in the village lead a simple life, and the young people who go out to work go back and go again and again. No one cares about the mountains and rivers here, and the face of poverty in Futou Village has not changed much for many years.

In August 2015, Ma Maomao, who works in the people's and Social Affairs Bureau of Zezhou County, served as the first secretary of Futou Village. As soon as she arrived in the village, the beautiful scenery of the mountain village attracted her and gave her a bigger idea: to develop the tourism industry in Futou Village and make the people rich. As a result, the pool of Futou Village has made waves and gratifying changes have taken place.

A family photo opened the hearts of the villagers.

On July 13, the reporter walked into Futou Village. Seeing Ma Maomao for the first time, the first secretary of the post-85 generation was lively and generous. Although she is weak and small, her military career has given her a sense of fortitude and tenacity. When asked why she gave up office work to become the first secretary in the countryside, her answer was positive: change the working environment and make her life rich and colorful.

From a familiar environment to an unfamiliar environment, the biggest difficulty is "communication". From organs with comfortable working conditions to the grassroots where all aspects are poor, the most realistic thing is to "adapt." Ma Mao Mao also encountered the same problem. The secretary of the branch of Futou Village is more than 50 years old, and one of her "post-85" generation has virtually created a generation gap. She wants to communicate deeply with the cadres in the village, but she doesn't know what to say. This problem has been bothering her all the time.

After Ma Maomao takes office, the first thing he wants to do is to quickly blend in with the people here, let the villagers know themselves and accept the "outsider".

But it's not that simple. Ma Maomao found that there are more than 40 households and 170 people in Futou village, and the resident population is only about 30, all of whom are left-behind elderly people. The old people said behind their backs, "the daughter from this city, that is, she came to our village for gilding and leisure, and came back." The villagers saw that she was nothing more than a symbolic greeting, and no one paid attention to her as the first secretary.

Ma Mao Mao was not discouraged, still less did he back down. She made her name and phone number into small cards and sent them to the old people, telling her again and again that she could be contacted for anything. After work, she will take the initiative to chat with the elderly and do some physical work as much as she can. After a long time, Ma Maomao found that the children of these old people are out to work and their children and grandchildren are studying outside, and what they miss most is their relatives. When she thought of this, an idea came out of her mind: take a family photo of these old people so that they can take a look at them when they miss their loved ones.

On the first day of the Lunar New year in 2016, Ma Maomao, with a group of people from Zezhou County Photography Association, went door to door to take family photos of the villagers. When the photos were sent to everyone, many old people were so moved that they hung in the most conspicuous position at home. When the reporter came to the home of Wei Xiaoxiang and Yuan Xianguo, the old couple took out their family photo with a smile. The original Guo said: "this girl is really sweet." We've never taken a family picture since we grew up, and we're still 20 inches old. "

In order to communicate with young migrant workers in a timely manner, Ma Mao set up a WeChat group, posted some things about the village in the group, and often talked about the lives of the elderly in the group. With the passage of time, people gradually accepted the young first secretary.

A photo warmed the whole village, and a WeChat group drew everyone closer. The reporter followed Ma Maomao around the village, with everyone's concern and greetings all the way, "daughter, come home for lunch!" "the weather is wet these days. Remember to take out the quilt and bask in it!" . Today, Ma Maomao has really become a native of Futou Village.

One hike, one hike to explore the way

When she became the first secretary of the village, Ma Maomao dared not expect to achieve much at first. She was relieved to be able to ensure that her work would not drag her back and cause no trouble to the village. But in practice, when she and her friends mentioned Futou Village, no one knew about the village, not even some people who had worked in Nancun Town. This deeply touched Ma Mao, and she decided to make Futou Village famous.

According to the people of the village, Futou Village is surrounded by mountains on three sides, especially Fotou Mountain on the edge of the village, which has a good environment and high vegetation coverage. every summer, cool breezes are used, which is a good place to spend the summer. there are also many scenic spots on the mountain, all of which have stories, such as the temple built on Fotou Mountain and the trenches of Japanese troops invading China. Immortal is said to be reserved for Li Jing, King of Pagoda, and his entourage. What is more amazing is that there are as many as seven pairs of twins in this village, which is more than Lu Village in terms of population proportion, and the villagers all say it has something to do with the well water here. Futou Village has the resources to develop rural tourism, why not do this article?

Ma Maomao and Wei Jiwang, secretary of the village party branch, talked about their ideas, but they were splashed with cold water. Wei Jiwang said to her: "to engage in rural tourism, the effect is slow. Our village is poor and poor. What can we use to develop tourism?" You'd better work in peace. "

Ma Maomao is a stubborn girl who never gives up what she believes. She has won the support of Wei Jiwang and the villagers through two things. The first thing is a hike. People in the village can only give a rough idea of how far the village is from the city and how long it will take to drive over, but no one can accurately say it. If you want to have first-hand information, you must look at it on the spot. To this end, she went on a more than four-hour hike from the city to the village without saying hello. As soon as she arrived in the village, she found Wei Jiwang and told her experience. "from the west section of Fengtai Street in the city to the village, it is a total of 18.3km. It takes 27000 steps and four hours to walk, and it takes more than 20 minutes to drive. This is the exact distance. It will be very convenient for city people to come to the village soon! "
