The road to getting rid of poverty is full of sunshine.

Wu Chengjun began to plant leafy vegetables after harvesting two crops of spring onions.

In the early spring, when it was warm and cold, the vegetable shed of the "Xinghua Village" in Taipingshan Village, Zhenlai County, Zhenlai County was full of green. President Wu Chengjun and his members were busy, raising onions, tying up bundles, loading cars, collecting money, and being busy and happy made them forget their tiredness. Since the beginning of winter last year, they have sold 2.15 million kilograms of green onions, making a good start to 2016. In each greenhouse, the income of the first crop of green onions is 50,000 yuan, while the second crop of green onions is in a boom. From winter to spring, the overall income of green onion cooperatives exceeded 10 million yuan. "Xin Xinghua Village" scallions have been operating painstakingly for more than 10 years and have grown into a resounding brand, creating considerable output value and changing the lives of the villagers.

Green onions and greenhouses make Lao Wu and his members full of sunshine and happiness on the way out of poverty. He has also become a recognized "poverty alleviation pioneer" in the village.

As early as 1988, Xinghua Village in Taipingshan Village was still very poor, so Wu Chengjun had to go out to work. When he saw that farmers in Shandong made considerable income from planting off-season green onions in a greenhouse, he resolutely returned to his hometown and borrowed 20,000 yuan to grow green onions. While he was learning to grow, he first put up a greenhouse in his own house, planted the dried onions bought in autumn in the shed, and sold them on the market during the Spring Festival. In just three or four months, Wu Chengjun earned more than 2000 yuan. The benefit is the best teacher. The villagers see that Lao Wu can produce three crops of fresh onions in a greenhouse in winter, and his income is high. Without persuasion, people become his followers one after another and take the initiative to join hands with him to buckle the shed to grow onions.

On March 20, 2010, the "Xinghua Village" green onion planting professional cooperative was officially established. At present, 90 villagers have joined the cooperative, with nearly 260 greenhouses covering an area of more than 20000 square meters. In May 2010, the cooperative successfully registered the brand "Xin Xinghua Village" brand green onion trademark, forming a brand, industrialization and large-scale operation. At present, the agency has established a solid cooperative relationship with the three northeastern provinces and large vegetable wholesale markets in Beijing, Tianjin, Qiqihar and other places. The green green onions of the cooperative have become the "sweet cake" in the market. In July 2015, Lao Wu's cooperative invested 2.71 million yuan to establish a 600-ton greenhouse vegetable planting base of more than 10,000 square meters. After 20 greenhouses were put into use, it injected new impetus into the development of cooperatives, and the planting scale of green onions was unprecedented.

In 2015, when off-season green onions were planted in winter leisure season alone, the per capita income of cooperatives exceeded 30,000 yuan, and green onion cultivation has really become an industry to get rich and increase income in Xinghua Village. There is an endless stream of businessmen from all over the world every day. During the Spring Festival alone, the first crop of green onions sold out at a price of nearly 6 yuan per kilogram, with more than 10 transport vehicles from all over the country every day, and the daily sales of green onions often exceeded 50,000 kilograms.

After the sale of green onions, Lao Wu and his members were busy planting vegetables such as cabbage, lettuce, celery, parsley, chili peppers, tomatoes and other vegetables in the greenhouse. The greenhouse was recycled one crop after another, and the output value of one greenhouse a year could reach 100000 yuan. This makes the pockets of farmers in Xinghua Village bigger and bigger, and the days are getting better and better.
