To be a "pig commander" to support a family.

Although the wind is chilly, the heart of Wang Mingyuan, a poor household, is warm.

On November 30, looking at the newly completed reinforced concrete house and the 10 big fat pigs in the pigsty, Wang Mingyuan smiled: "unexpectedly, a poor family like me can still build a new house!" These 10 pigs will be out of the fence before the Spring Festival. I believe the poverty hat will be taken off soon. I thank the government from the bottom of my heart for helping us poor families in a timely manner! "

Wang Mingyuan, who is nearly 60 years old, is a poor family in Wencai Village, Longtang Community, Longtang Town, Qiongshan District, Haikou City. his family has only more than 1 mu of paddy fields and sloping land. in the past, he made a living by odd jobs, and the average annual income of the family was only 1800 yuan.

The house leaks and it rains all night. In April last year, Wang Mingyuan's wife, Wu Mingxiang, was admitted to hospital for surgery because of a cerebral hemorrhage. She spent more than 100,000 yuan on medical expenses. So far, she is unable to walk on the ground. She can only sit in a wheelchair or lie in bed and need special care. This made the originally poor family even worse, and the Wang Mingyuan family became poor because of illness.

Shao Hongjin, secretary and director of the Longtang neighborhood committee, said that although Wang Mingyuan's wife fell ill, he was not depressed because of it. He was enterprising and had a strong desire to get rid of poverty.

"when my wife falls ill, I still have to support this family. No matter how hard I am, I will try my best to get out of poverty!" Wang Mingyuan exudes a lot of positive energy.

In the first half of this year, when the poverty alleviation working group in the town conducted a household survey, Wang Mingyuan revealed his willingness to get rid of poverty: "my wife needs me to take care of her at home when she is sick, and my son has gone out to work. I have raised pigs before, and I have some experience. I hope to raise pigs out of poverty."

The town government respects Wang Mingyuan's desire to get rid of poverty and has sent him 26 young pigs in two batches since June this year.

"Wang Mingyuan is industrious and capable. He raised thousands of yuan to expand the pigsty from the original one to three." Shao Hongjin said.

Since the government supported 26 young pigs, Wang Mingyuan has become a "pig commander". He is very attentive to raising pigs and takes good care of piglets, feeding pigs with wheat husk, cassava flour, cornmeal and so on every day. "if you eat well, you can gain weight quickly!" Wang Mingyuan said with a smile.

Every morning, Wang Mingyuan washes the pigsty to keep it clean and prevent diseases.

In order to raise pigs well, Wang Mingyuan also went to the neighboring village to ask some big pig farmers for advice on pig-raising skills. He also went to the bookstore to buy back some books on pig-raising and taught himself pig-raising skills.

In October this year, a strong typhoon "Sarika" hit Qiong with fierce wind and rain. The roof of Wang Mingyuan's pigsty was lifted by strong winds, causing damage to varying degrees. Wang Mingyuan did not wait and did not rely on it. After the storm, he immediately asked relatives for help and worked together to repair the pigsty in time.

Every day not only to take care of his sick wife, but also to raise pigs and do housework, long-term fatigue, Wang Mingyuan the whole person has lost a circle, but his heart is warm. "I just sold eight pigs yesterday with an income of nearly 20,000 yuan. I have sold two batches of pigs this year, and the price is not bad!" Wang Mingyuan said.

For Wang Mingyuan, building a new house is another big event for his family this year! In June this year, the government subsidized him 70,000 yuan in funds for the renovation of dilapidated houses. He demolished the old tiled house that he had lived in for more than 40 years and built a new house of 120 square meters. "A total of 120000 yuan was spent on the new house. in addition to the 70, 000 yuan subsidized by the government, I paid a little myself, and my relatives also subsidized it. If it hadn't been for the help of the government, I don't know when I could build a new house. " Wang Mingyuan is grateful.

Wang Mingyuan said that he will continue to raise pigs in the future, and plans to open a snack bar at home to increase income.

As night fell, Wang Mingyuan was still busy in the pigsty, and the lights in the pigsty lit his hope of getting rid of poverty.
