Du Baoying: change your life with diligence

Du Baoying was born into a peasant family in Shijiazuo Village, Qijiazuo Township, Tang County. She was diligent and diligent from an early age and loved to study, but she failed to form a bond with the university. After failing in the college entrance examination in 2000, she went to work in an enterprise in Shijiazhuang and met Lin Xuekun from Wuzhuang Village, Maozhuang Town, Laoting County. the two fell in love and gradually became lovers and tied the knot in 2008.

Later, du Baoying followed her husband to Leting, but her mother-in-law's poverty greatly surprised her: the three low and dilapidated brick houses without walls formed a sharp contrast with the tall and spacious cement houses in the neighborhood. there are not even decent household appliances in the house. What chills du Baoying's heart even more is that she borrows money for betrothal gifts from her uncles. But du Baoying deeply understands that marriage is a fate and a responsibility, and since he has held his hand, no matter he is rich or poor, he must grow old together.

A year later, du Baoying, who had given birth to the baby, found that the young people in the village all ran to the farmhouse. Many people made their homes by planting vegetable sheds, and their lives were getting better and better. As a result, she also came up with the idea of building a greenhouse and discussed with her husband to change the immutable planting pattern of her parents and get rich through science and technology.

When she had an idea, she put it into practice. Du Baoying left the child in the care of her mother-in-law, went to the farmhouse, found a large number of science and technology books, and began to read them day and night. In addition, she often attended some science and technology lectures, learned from growers, and soon mastered the basic planting techniques.

Combined with the economic situation of the family, du Baoying chose the leek with lower cost and faster effect to grow. In the first year, she planted 1.8 mu of leek. In order to save money, she did not hire technical workers. Instead, she mobilized her parents-in-law and her brother-in-law to fight together. According to the planting techniques in the book, she ordered the plants herself. When the seeds sprouted and unearthed, no one's leek was as uniform as the seedlings she planted.

Next, du Baoying manages the leeks according to the introduction in the book. Husband and wife work at sunrise and rest at sunset, making 1.8 mu of leek sturdy and green, growing gratifying.

Around the Beginning of Winter, du Baoying began to plan the work of flat stubble covering the shed. The leek covered by the shed needs more elaborate management. to this end, du Baoying not only makes great efforts to study books, but also learns from experienced elders. She works quickly and carefully, and every day she goes into the shed to check the temperature and humidity, check her illness, and deal with problems in time. In the end, she managed a bumper harvest of 1.8 mu of leek, with an income of more than 30,000 yuan that year, excluding the cost.

The following year, du Baoying was full of confidence, increasing the planting area to 5 mu, and the income from planting leek reached more than 100,000 yuan. In addition, du Baoying and her wife also used their leisure time to work in a brick factory, increasing their income by 50,000 to 60,000 yuan a year.

After years of struggle, du Baoying not only paid off the foreign debt she owed when she got married, but also bought all kinds of household appliances, agricultural tricycles and electric tricycles. At the beginning of last spring, they built three large cement houses with bedrooms, kitchens, toilets and bathrooms, with modern and beautiful interior decoration. On July 21 this year, they also bought a family car.

A girl from Tangxian County, thousands of miles away, became rich by virtue of her studiousness and science and technology. She not only changed her poor life, but also created her own wonderful space and won everyone's praise.
