Recently, when the reporter and his party drove to Miao Jintang, a poor household in Dalai Hushuo Village, Dalai Hushuo Street, he and his wife were busy feeding fodder to sheep in the yard. Although the weather was cold, it could not hide the happy smiles on the couple's faces. Miao Jintang excitedly said: "After the poverty alleviation task force learned about the situation of my family, it coordinated financial institutions to apply for a loan of 50,000 yuan for us, purchased more than 100 sheep, and hung the roof and door of my house." Without good policies, our family would not be where we are today."

Miao Jintang, 68 years old, is an old party member with a pair of children. His son suffers from bladder cancer. After his daughter divorced, he lives with his two children. A few years ago, in order to cure his son, the old couple spent all their savings at home and raised 100,000 yuan with a five-cent profit, but they failed to save his life. Today, the livelihood of the whole family depends on Miao Jintang's dozens of sheep and daughter's income to maintain, his wife has been sick all the year round need to take medicine, injection, but also for two grandchildren to go to school and repay debts, the family fell into desperate situation.

In the precise poverty alleviation work, the leaders of contracted households of Huo City Agriculture, Animal Husbandry and Forestry Bureau often visit and investigate his home to understand in detail the causes of poverty, family production and life, income sources, etc. In February this year, Miao Jintang family through filing cards, became the village help object. Sheep raising is one of Huo City's industrial poverty alleviation projects. Miao Jintang's family caught this "ride" and bought more than 100 sheep with a poverty alleviation loan of 50,000 yuan. In addition to dozens of sheep before, there are now more than 200 sheep. "My sheep are fattened, and I can sell a batch next spring. At that time, I can repay the loan, and the money I sell next will be my own. I'm going to buy some more, expand the breeding scale, and strive to get rid of poverty completely next year. I am a Party member. After I get rid of poverty, I must do my best to help others become rich together." Miao Jintang looked at the sheepfold in the yard and said with a smile.
