Middle-aged couple give up their jobs and return to the village to start a business. Small orchards place their dreams of becoming rich

In Hongwuo Village, Hongmei Town, there is a couple over the age of 40. They give up their carefree jobs and return to the village. The husband sings with the woman and runs a guava orchard side by side. The small orchard is full of husband and wife's passion, but also their dream of starting a business and becoming rich.

Today, when we walked into the Fanwujiao Guava Orchard in Hongwuo Village, Hongmei Town, the reporter saw that the guava such as New Century Crystal and Taiwan Pearl No. 1 had grown healthily, and the branches were covered with fruitful fruits. Aunt Lin and his wife are busy picking guava and packing fresh fruit for the guests. Looking at the high yield of guava, the couple were secretly happy. They did not expect that the small orchard would bring a lot of income.

Aunt Bing, the person in charge of the orchard: "We are not very large now. We grow it on our own, about 8 mu of that. Now we can find out that we can control the stages, hang the fruit all year round, and supply the market continuously. I think there is such a market."

Mo Weifeng, who has many years of experience in growing crops, is the husband of Aunt Bing, who is bent on starting a business. They believe that if you want to start a business, you must plant cash crops with relatively high economic value as the development goal. Finally, they decided to plant guava, a fruit with faster harvest, lower blood pressure, lipid and blood sugar, and higher nutritional value. In early 2011, Aunt Bing and his wife rented 8.5mu of agricultural land at a price of 1000 yuan per mu from village farmers, and bought high-quality guava seedlings from Panyu by relatives, and formally set up a husband and wife orchard.

Aunt Ning, the person in charge of the orchard: "because after investigation, we felt that this guava originally had an effect and was relatively healthy, so I thought this guava should be very promising, so we decided to plant this guava."

The 41-year-old aunt told the reporter that she married from Wangniudun Caojiao Village to Hongwuo Village. She used to be a Packer in an enterprise, earning a monthly salary of 3,000 to 4,000 yuan, and her work was very leisurely, but later, in order to support her husband to start a business, with a large number of orchard fruits on the market, she quit her leisure job and devoted herself to the management of the orchard.

Aunt Bing, the person in charge of the orchard, said, "I used to work in the factory. I worked as a Packer in the factory, which was relatively easy, but my husband likes to start a business, and he likes to grow it. Since he has made up his mind to do it, I am sure to help him." he can't do that much by himself. "

When they first started planting, they encountered many difficulties, such as diseases and insect pests and rotten fruits. In order to solve these problems, the couple took the initiative to seek advice from some experienced fruit growers by paying extensive attention to agricultural technical information. Attend training courses and technical guidance seminars. After years of exploration and learning, they have overcome various difficulties and skillfully mastered the planting technology of guava.

Aunt Ying, the person in charge of the orchard: "he (my husband) didn't know much about planting, but now he has deepened his understanding of this aspect after going to study, which is of great help to our planting." (agricultural technology) is also very helpful to us. First of all, they sometimes have technical guidance. If we have any difficulties, they will also come to help us understand and solve the problem and send someone to help us publicize it so that we can thank the agricultural technology. "

Since 2011, the orchard has been in operation for five years and has had a harvest for three years. The average yield per mu is more than 4000 jin. Excluding loss, it is sold at an average price of 4 yuan per jin, and the output value per mu can reach 1-15000 yuan. At first, the channel through which they sold the fruit was mainly independent sales. At present, they have also kept up with the pace of e-commerce, asking relatives to brush the fruit into Wechat moments and mobilizing more relatives and friends to come to pick or order online. after the recommendation of Wechat moments, the farthest orderers have gone to Shanghai.

Aunt Bing, the person in charge of the orchard: "the biggest difficulty is, first of all, to maintain its quality, and then we found it more difficult at the stage when we began to explore. Now we find out that using that farm manure can maintain the quality of the fruit, which is cool and crisp." the second aspect of our sales volume is relatively limited in the market, we want to do some publicity through online, e-commerce and other channels. Let more people know that they come to us to pick. "

In order to ensure the quality of the fruit, they insist on applying their own compost, start bagging in the young fruit stage, reduce the amount of pesticides, and ensure that the fruit is safe, healthy and non-toxic. Next, they will also use soil testing formula to achieve scientific fertilization, soil improvement and integrated water and fertilizer management, integrated irrigation and other methods to solve the problems of loose fruit, black spots on the fruit skin and sugar heart inside in spring, so as to improve the quality.

Aunt Ying, head of the orchard: "I hope our guava is of better quality and has a wider market, so we don't have to worry about selling it."

Tiandao rewards hard work. Over the past few years, Auntie and his wife have used their hard work to get the take-off of their dreams, and also won the fruitful fruits and infinite vitality of the guava orchard. It is hoped that they can constantly improve their planting technology, better open the market, expand the planting area, develop and expand the orchard, and realize the dream of starting a business and becoming rich.

Aunt Ying, the person in charge of the orchard: "make up your mind to do one thing, be determined to do it, and then succeed or not. It depends on your own efforts. I think it should be possible to stick to it." I think at first everyone was afraid that they didn't understand it, but after the decision, it was like burning the bridges and making up your mind to put it into it. It should also be very successful. "

It is reported that in recent years, Hongmei Town has attached great importance to the development of high-efficiency agriculture, actively strengthened policy publicity, technical support and guidance to growers, encouraged and guided their transformation and upgrading, guided them to open up their markets, and made growers have more confidence in planting. Expand the planting area, promote the development of agriculture, drive more people to get rich through entrepreneurship, and promote local economic development.
