The rich girl in the suburb of Bei'an City, Heilongjiang Province is good at raising pigs to get rich.

Xia Xiumei, 41, is an ordinary farmer in Xinweitun, Yongqing Village, a township on the outskirts of Bei'an City. with her hard work and efforts, she has successfully found a way to get rich and become a local "expert at getting rich."

Nine years ago, Xia Xiumei was a migrant worker who helped relatives raise pigs in Tianjin and could not save much all the year round. In order to make her family's life richer, Xia Xiumei boldly returned to her hometown to start a business and tried to raise pigs. At first, due to the lack of scientific breeding technology, less experience and less income from raising pigs, she also had the idea of not raising pigs any more. Later, Xia Xiumei bought books and assiduously studied the scientific knowledge of raising pigs. Sometimes she stood by the pigsty for hours in a row, observing the habits of pigs. Breeding has also developed from the beginning of two or three to the current annual stock of more than 200, and the scale of breeding has gradually expanded. Because of its intelligence and ability, Xia Xiumei's road of raising pigs is quite smooth. When working for people, Xia Xiumei learned to vaccinate pigs, so the problem of epidemic prevention can be solved by herself. Moreover, she processes her own feed, and the piglets raised have a high survival rate and come out of the pen quickly. In a year, the income can reach more than 70,000 yuan.

In order to support the development of Xia Xiumei's aquaculture industry, the suburban township government actively helped her solve practical difficulties and help her aquaculture cause become bigger and stronger.
