Three tears of "Mother Sheep" Tian Xiuzhen

Wearing her husband's military uniform, standing on a high mountain in Zhongzhai Town, Yanhe Autonomous County, she was carrying an aluminum basin full of corn, and the white goats on the hillside grass were beginning to come, stretching their necks and using their mouths to catch the corn seeds scattered from the basin.

She is Tian Xiuzhen, who is known as "Mother Sheep". Speaking of Tian Xiuzhen, people who have dealt with her all said that she used her maternal love on sheep and an iron fist on every difficulty on the way to starting a business.

Since she went home to start her own business, Tian Xiuzhen's eyes contain tears of frustration and a bumper harvest, and her body flows with hard sweat.

Set foot on the road of going home and starting a business-- shed hard tears

Tian Xiuzhen raised sheep in the first place because of her obsession with the grassland in Zhongzhai Village, Zhongzhai Township, Yanhe Autonomous County.

More than 1000 mu of natural meadows are surrounded by forests such as green belts, with a mountain pond embedded in the middle. This kind of beautiful scenery has made Tian Xiuzhen, a village girl, have a beautiful dream since she was a child. "it was very beautiful, but I didn't know what to do before." A few days ago, Tian Xiuzhen talked about her original feelings, but she still couldn't hide her excitement.

When she grew up, she became an army wife, followed her husband to work at the station, and had a plan to go back to her hometown pasture to feed sheep. As an army wife, she could have had an easier job with her husband, but she resolutely returned to her hometown in March 2008 to join the project of developing grassland ecological animal husbandry and became a "shepherd" herding sheep.

In September 2008, 188 basic ewes she lent from the center were fenced. According to the agreement, after three years, she will repay the same amount of lamb, and she will share seven or three of the lambs with the center.

After becoming a "shepherd", Tian Xiuzhen realized the hard work of starting a business, and her body was drenched with sweat every day.

Frustration and failure-- shed bitter tears

In the spring of 2010, the back mountain of Zhongzhai Town was a new atmosphere. Under the moisture of the spring rain, the grass in the field sent out buds and drilled out of the ground.

Early one morning, when the sun had just emerged, Tian Xiuzhen walked out of the door and walked quickly to the sheepfold. In the cry, the sheep walked up the hillside not far away. After a while, Tian Xiuzhen's "children" enjoyed the sprouts of grass.

"No, that sheep." When she was getting ready to go back to the house, the state of a sheep made Tian Xiuzhen alert.

A brisk stride ran over and saw that the sheep was poisoned.

After a while, the phenomenon quickly spread among the sheep.

While Tian Xiuzhen adopted the method of detoxifying the "children", she quickly contacted the town animal husbandry station.

However, it still failed to recover the loss of the "mother sheep", resulting in the poisoning and death of 200 sheep. "looking at the 'children' lying motionless on the ground, I wanted to cry without tears." Tian Xiuzhen said that this poisoning incident, she lost 200 sheep, leaving more than 50 sheep.

After a brief period of grief, Tian Xiuzhen thought of the surrounding herdsmen. Then, after a simple funeral for the dead "children", Tian Xiuzhen, a herdsman, warned the herdsmen that the grass on the mountain was poisonous.

After the detection of relevant technical personnel, it turns out that a highly poisonous grass has grown on the mountain, and livestock such as cattle and sheep will be poisoned as soon as they eat it.

In addition to warning and reminding herdsmen to attach importance to herdsmen, Tian Xiuzhen also mobilized herdsmen and relatives to go to major grasslands in the mountains to launch a "poison weeding" campaign.

The "poisonous weeds" were hoed, but this caused a serious disconnection of funds in Tian Xiuzhen Sheep Farm.

After running and reporting by many departments, 80,000 yuan of working capital was coordinated with the help of relevant departments of the county and town.

Drive the neighbors to get rich-- shed tears of joy

It soon entered the winter of the second year, and the migrant workers went home one after another for the Spring Festival. This is the peak season for herdsmen to buy sheep.

In order to sell her sheep for a good value, Tian Xiuzhen personally drove a sheep truck close to the surrounding county, as far away as Zunyi, and hawked all the way.

"what pleases me most is that more than 150 lambs have been sold in a month." Tian Xiuzhen said that those who come to the sheep farm to buy sheep and drive to the surrounding market to sell them. This month, she put the first batch of more than 150 lambs out of the pen, and she put more than 60,000 yuan in her purse.

This year, all Tian Xiuzhen's stockpile lambs were sold out, with a net income of nearly 700000 yuan.

Tian Hsiu-Chen, who never forgets her neighbors when she gets rich, never forgets to feed her hometown and uses her technology to actively repay the villagers. As long as the villagers are in need, Tian Hsiu-Chen is eager to help and act as a veterinary technical consultant free of charge. Yang Shengqiang, a big farmer, with the help of Tian Xiuzhen, vigorously developed the sheep raising project, reaching 243,400 goats, with an annual income of 800000 yuan, making him another big farmer after Tian Xiuzhen.

At present, Tian Xiuzhen's goat farming has more than 300 goats, with an annual income of more than 500, and an annual income of 1 million yuan. led by her, the surrounding masses have developed goat farming to more than 40 households. Drive 35 poor households to raise sheep, with an average annual income of more than 100,000 yuan. "next, I intend to mobilize 280 villagers to participate in the form of land shareholding, so that more villagers can become rich and make their own contribution to getting rid of poverty." Tian Xiuzhen said so.

If you put your mind to it, you will live up to it. Tian Xiuzhen not only won the praise of the surrounding villagers, but also was elected as the 11th people's representative of Guizhou Province, but also a provincial model winner.

At this moment, "Mother Sheep" Tian Xiuzhen shed tears of joy.
