“Sanzhuan Lady” study nursing
My mother’s home is Qiandongshan Village, Shixi Township, 20 to 30 miles northwest of Xiaocheng Village, Komiks 1960 witch cloth draw on the bank of the Yellow River. The village is very poor, and my family is the poorest in the village. My family has never been rich for generations. My father is a farmer, and so are my grandfather and grandfather’s grandfather. No matter what era it is, this family has been living in poverty. The poorer I am, the more I give birth to. I have 5 sisters and 1 younger brother. I am the eldest. My mother has always been in poor health. In my childhood memory, she has been sick and unable to work.
From when I was sensible, I felt that life should be very hard, that is, I should eat braised vegetables, work hard, and be sad. What is joy? What is happiness? All I can recall is going to school. However, the happy life was very short. I dropped out of school in the third grade of elementary school and went home to take care of my younger brothers and sisters and do housework. When I was 16 years old, I went to Taiyuan, the provincial capital, to work as a nanny for others. Because I am poor, I am always looked down upon, and I made up my mind at a young age: I can’t live such a poor life in the future.
In 2003, I was 19 years old and married to Xiaocheng Village, Xuecun Town before I reached the age of marriage. For me, getting married cannot change my destiny, it just lives a poor life in another place. My parents-in-law are also authentic farmers. They farm for a living, so they gave birth to my lover, so they were the only one who gave birth to the land. After getting married, my wife relied on odd jobs everywhere in the countryside and county towns to supplement her family income. When we first got married, he only earned 15 yuan a day as a small worker. I did housework and took care of my parents-in-law at home, and gave birth and took care of my children one after another. At that time, I led the big ones and coaxed the small ones, and packed up some tattered things at home all day long. The children were dressed dirty and old, and there was no decent meal in the pot. I often stare at the river beach and the loess mountains outside the cave, waiting for my lover to come back from work, and take out the dozen dollars he earned from his pocket to arrange his life tomorrow. I feel really uncomfortable. It’s really boring to live a life of poverty!
I was unwilling to be a “three-turning lady” around the stove, children, and husband for the rest of my life, so I started to be a young student.meaning. At the beginning, I had no capital and borrowed money everywhere. I have set up street stalls, sold popcorn at the school gate, and bought fruits. I have always relied on hard work and small businesses to make a living. It was pretty good at first, we saved some money. However, during that period, the old man was in poor health. He dealt with the hospital all day long. He went there once, and he lost a few hundred yuan; he went there again, and he lost a few thousand yuan again. In 2011, my son suddenly had acute nephritis. His condition was very serious and his whole body was swollen. It took him nearly 200,000 yuan to grab his life back. In this way, the family spent all the money they saved for many years, and they also had a heavy foreign debt. They owed hundreds of thousands of yuan, and some of them borrowed loans from usury. Those years were very difficult. My wife worked on the construction site and I cooked for the workers. My income was very low. I don’t know when I could pay off my debts. We are very anxious: Why do we work so hard but our lives have never improved? What exactly can you live a good life?
At the end of 2015, the central government issued a decision and call to win the battle against poverty. In early 2016, our Luliang City began to carry out the first batch of training for “Luliangshan Nursing Workers” and allocated the quotas to participate in the training to the village.
I remember it was one day in the first lunar month. The village party secretary and the village cadres in the town came to me and said to me, “Luliang is training nursing workers, are you going?” I had no idea about nursing workers at that time, so I didn’t say anything. The next day, the mayor came to mobilize me again, and he said, “You’d better go. Don’t you want to work and pay off your debts? After the training is completed, you can go out to work as a nurse and earn several thousand yuan a month.” I was a little moved and asked, “I have worked as a nanny. What’s the difference between a nurse and a nanny?” The mayor said, “It’s similar to a nanny, but it’s more professional. You have to take care of the patients, take care of the elderly and the mothers, and earn more money. You can tell if you go to the training.” The village party secretary also said, “The government pays you to train, and it’s your own ability to learn. Why don’t you go there with such a good opportunity?” I thought, then go! I went to the town to sign up and filled out the application form, which contained options for housekeeping, confinement nanny, and nanny. I chose housekeeping and waited for training. I was registered in the first lunar month, and no one called me in March. I thought this matter was ruined, so I went to the town to find a job and sell clothes. The basic salary was 1,000 yuan per month and the commission was added. Just as I was about to go to work, the government called me to notify me: I was going to participate in the training.
I went to the training for a month and really learned a lot of knowledge and skills. I felt good, and my confidence increased greatly. I thought of finding a job in a big city, earning a high salary in Beijing, paying off my debts early, and then living a stable life for the whole family.
Traveling in Beijing alone
ButAs soon as I proposed the idea of going to Beijing, no one in the family supported me. The person who opposes the most is my lover. He glared: “You are a nanny and you run so far when you serve others. Not to mention the shame, who will take care of the children at home? You can’t go.” I said: “Learning this technique is to take care of people. You have no prejudice. Everyone needs to take care of others.” My husband still doesn’t want to, and the children are also “mom, mom” crying and can’t bear to leave. My mother-in-law has always been very nice to me. I want her to support me, but she has many concerns: “Daughter, I’m really worried about going so far, so it’s better not to go!” Faced with the opposition of the family, my tears couldn’t help but flow down.
After thinking hard, my husband and I told him that I would not go, so he could go out to work with peace of mind. After he left, I told my mother-in-law about the poverty alleviation policy of “Luliangshan Nursing Workers”: “This is a free training class run by the government, and it is also free to find a job. We have to trust the government! I have trained and learned the technology. I went out to make more money for our family.” After repeated persuasion, my mother-in-law finally let go, willing to support me, and promised to help us take care of the children. On the day of departure, I looked at my sick son on the kang with tears in my eyes, feeling extremely reluctant. My mother-in-law kept sending me to the entrance of the village. She said, “The first time you went out such a far door, you should be more careful.” I said, “Mom, don’t worry. I will work hard, earn more money, and pay back the family’s debts as soon as possible.” My mother-in-law burst into tears: “Don’t make things too difficult for yourself. If you are angry or too tired, you should hurry home!”
In this way, I arrived in Beijing alone. At first, I found a job in a housekeeping company to do cleaning, wiping the floor, cleaning windows, cleaning the bathroom, kitchen, etc., and I could earn 5,000 yuan a month, which was higher than the salary of civil servants in Luliang at that time! Although I have a poor living and living conditions, I still work very hard to make so much money. Soon, the leaders of the housekeeping company saw that my expression skills and deal with people were OK, so they tried to cultivate me and let me do some work to negotiate with customers. This opportunity is particularly rare. I studied hard and kept thinking about how to think about problems from the perspective of customers and provide them with good service according to their needs. This process also gave me some new understanding of the housekeeping market and industry. After working hard for a while, my work performance was very good. I took advantage of my happy leadership to ask the leader to recommend myself: “If you are willing, you can put me in your branch to do management, and I have the confidence to do it well.” The leader did not reply at the time. He thought about it for a while and then found me and said: “I have also known you better during this period and I am very optimistic about you. I can give you this opportunity. “So, I went to a store in Sihui, Chaoyang District as a business manager. I worked harder and worked hard with everyone and our local government. In half a year, I brought more than 300 sisters from Luliangshan to Beijing and sent them to customers’ homes one by one. At that time, I did business during the day and went to do two cleaning jobs after get off work at 5:30 pm. Through less than a year of hard work, my family basically paid off their foreign debts, got rid of poverty, and saved some money on hand.
In the past six months of experience, I not only changed my life, but also opened my eyes and increased my knowledge. I found that when we women walked out of the mountains and came to a big city like Beijing, we could see a world with a lot of colors and richness. If we can’t go out, home is my world; if we go out, the world is my home.
There is a sister in our village My sister is Ma Weihong. Her family is relatively poor. I advised her to come to Beijing to be a nurse. She didn’t want to say anything. She had never traveled far away and had unknown fears about the strange world outside: What should I do if I meet a bad person? What should I do if I am bullied? But I finally mobilized her into it. First, she participated in the government-run nursing training for Luliangshan, and then sent her to a Beijing client’s home. She started as an ordinary nurse. She started as a 4,000 yuan a month, and later became a senior nurse and earned 8,000 yuan a month. Over the years, she has bought a building in Luliang City, and both children have already been working until college and have worked. Now, she is still working as a nurse in Beijing.
I introduced another Luliangshan sister from Beijing who has been working as a nurse at a client’s home. She has worked for about two years and has taken good care of the elderly and children in the client’s home, and gets along very well. href=”https://comicmov.com/”>Komiks 1960 witch cloth draw, like a family. When the client’s family was having a physical examination, they also gave her a physical examination, and the result was a serious problem. Who would have thought that the client would spend money to take her to a large hospital for treatment. The elder sister felt uneasy and wanted to go back to her hometown to see a doctor. The client refused and said, “You can’t go back. What should I do if I delay the disease when I go back? “Still she had surgery in Beijing. During her recovery, the client hired another nanny to take care of her. When her illness was completely cured, she continued to work as a nursing worker at the client’s house until today.
There is also an older sister who went to Beijing to work as a nursing worker in order to support her child’s college. She took care of the elderly at a client’s house and worked very hard, which was recognized by the client’s family. After her child graduated from college, the client helped arrange the job.
There are many stories about Cinema 1950 witch cloth draw. Many sisters in Luliangshan walked out of the mountains and came to the capital Beijing, which not only increased their income, successfully got rid of poverty, and also came into contact with a new world, contacted with different people, broadening our horizons. Beijing is so big and has so many people, but it is very inclusive here. Compared with small places, it seems more “simple”: as long as everyone works hard, life will not treat you badly; as long as a person has the ability, there is room for display here and he will get various opportunities. Even if a place does not accept you, you may take two more steps and turn a corner to find another place that allows you to realize your value. This is Beijing.
“Luliangshan Care Worker” became a brand
After I was the business manager of a housekeeping company for a period of time, my family was successfully lifted out of poverty, which also led many sisters in Luliangshan to achieve employment and increase income. I just thought that the government helped me and trained me before. During my time in Beijing, I also have a better understanding of the operating model of housekeeping companies. So can I go back to my hometown to do this?
Do it just by saying that. In 2017, I raised tens of thousands of yuan with a few nursing sisters and returned to Liulin County to open a housekeeping company. I started a housekeeping company and caught up with the good policies. When we first started, the government gave me a lot of policy support and helped us train nursing workers. After the training was completed, our company contacted nursing staff positions in major cities and sent them over. Our company has advantages in recruiting nursing staff. For example, when companies from other places come to recruit, locals do not understand and believe them, so they dare not go out with them, for fear of being deceived. But we don’t worry about recruiting and there is no shortage of people, because our housekeeping company has complete qualifications and legal operations, and is from Luliang, and we can’t escape people. My sisters feel very relieved when they come to our company.
In June 2018, with the support of the government, I founded another vocational training school in Liulin County and started my own training. The first lesson of the training is to change your mindset. Through investigation, we learned that many women themselves or their families have biased cognitions. They would rather face the loess and face the sky than go out. They always feel that going out is just serving others, they will be bullied, deceived, and have many concerns. The government has made great efforts to promote it, and townships, village committees, and village cadres are all trying to change this concept. I also told my sisters about my own personal experience in the village, how I got out of poverty step by step, how I got rid of poverty, and how I came back to start a company. Let them see that going out is not that scary. You don’t have money at all, so what are the risks of making money by working to go out? The biggest risk is that you can’t get out and make money!
We sent out five or six hundred people in the first year. Because there are many older sisters going to Beijing, the company has reached a long-term cooperation with Beijing Institute of Technology.The agreement was made and the “Luliangshan Care Service Station” was opened. Anyone who is willing to come to Beijing would be introduced there. Take the confinement nanny in Beijing as an example. Many of the people we gave away have been working in Beijing for several years and have received many orders. Their monthly salary is 12,800 yuan to 14,800 yuan, and a few of the lows can reach 8,800 yuan. Such income may not be enough for a year in farming in my hometown. We summarized and found that during the poverty alleviation campaign, we sent out more than 6,000 nursing workers, of which more than 600 were from poor families. Since General Secretary Xi Jinping announced the comprehensive victory of the fight against poverty in early 2021, the data in recent years have not been carefully calculated.
The elder sisters trust me and make me feel that it is a kind of happiness to be able to help people. Rural people have a very simple side. She thinks that you helped her find a job and earn money. During the Chinese New Year, you will give me millet and red dates. We don’t care about other people’s things, but the kind of gratitude from the bottom of my heart makes me feel very accomplished and I feel even more motivated.
“Luliangshan Care Worker” has now developed into a well-known brand. This is the achievement of the Party and the government. I have helped to do some small things in it over the years and I think it is very meaningful. Fortunately, the threshold is that even for people who are not well educated, as long as they know how to cook and are diligent in their hands and feet, they can earn several thousand yuan a month. As long as you have some skills in caring for the elderly, patients, and newborns after short-term training, you can earn tens of thousands of yuan a month in big cities. It is not difficult, has a low income, and is very stable, which is especially suitable for rural women. In fact, men can also be nurses. The couple goes out together. After working for a long time, their income can also steadily increase with the accumulation of experience. The couple can earn more than 100,000 yuan or hundreds of thousands of yuan a year. Then you can get rich through labor.
Realize your dream
In 2018, although we didn’t make much money by running a housekeeping company, we are already well-known in our place. Once, I attended a meeting organized by the Luliang Municipal Party Committee. At that time, the city leader said to me: “Xiaoma, your housekeeping company is doing a good job. It is recommended that you not only bring the elder sisters out of the mountains in the future, but also find ways to bring them back.” What the leader said was very meaningful. He made a request to me from the perspective of the development of the Luliang area. I have been thinking about this sentence since that day.
Why is “Can you bring it out and bring it back” so important? Because no matter how far the people of Luliang go to work, Luliang’s own appearance has not changed fundamentally. Everyone has done well outside and settled down outside, and will take away the elderly and children in the family. After many years, there will be no one in the rural areas of Luliang. If we want to completely get rid of poverty, we still have to come back to build our own hometown. So we need to think of Babaylan 1990 cloth draw method to see what good industries can take root and sprout in Luliang.
I started to be interestedIntensely guide older sisters who are unwilling to travel far to find employment locally. I found that finding employment at home is also a good thing. Not only can you make money, but you can also not delay taking care of your own elderly and children. Moreover, the local salary is not very low. It is as simple as doing a meal for one or two people, and the salary can be more than 2,600 yuan per month, which can ensure that a family gets out of poverty; taking care of children can also be at least 3,000 yuan; taking care of the elderly can get a salary of 4,000 yuan. The high salary of confinement nanny in Liulin County can reach 8,800 yuan, which is a very high salary here. In fact, steadily developing local industries is equally important as going out to work, and it can drive local people to get rid of poverty more widely.
However, in terms of the nursing industry, local employment is still relatively scattered and not large. Moreover, even when we arrived in Luliang City and Liulin County, although we were not far from home, we still did not bring much boost to rural development. What are the industries that can achieve a large number of nursing employment locally in rural areas? I just thought of running a nursing home. I see many nursing homes in Beijing, but the Luliang area is in short supply. I did a survey and talked with many leaders and bosses. They all said that nursing homes are not easy to work, with high responsibilities, high costs and small returns. Overall, they are still a public welfare undertaking. Although it is very meaningful, it does not make money. If you are not strong enough, you should consider it carefully. So I didn’t consider taking this path for the time being.
But something happened soon after that deeply stimulated me and strengthened my determination to run a nursing home. There is a five-guarantee household in our village and there is no house, so the village arranged for him to live in the village committee. Every time I go home during the Chinese New Year, I will visit him and give him some money, sometimes 200 yuan, and sometimes 300 yuan. In 2016, after attending nursing training, I was preparing to work in Beijing to pay off my debts. My financial situation was not good, and my life was tight. I couldn’t afford a piece of clothing during the Chinese New Year, so I didn’t go to see him. By the first month of 2018, my financial situation was a little better, so I went to see him, but I couldn’t knock on the door. I asked the neighbors. The neighbor said, “It’s gone, it’s gone, it’s gone.” I said, “Why are the good people gone?” The neighbor said, “Last summer, his sister came to deliver food to him every now and then. Once, when he came, he was lying on the ground and had been gone for a few days. Looking at his daughter.” I felt very sad when I heard this, and secretly made up my mind to run a nursing home.
With the support of the government, the process of running a nursing home was still smooth. In February 2018, I won the “Shanxi Province Poverty Alleviation Award for Progress”. At the commendation meeting, I met the leader of the Shanxi Provincial Department of Civil Affairs. He asked me: “Xiaoma, what do you think now? What do you want to do?” I said: “Leader, I want to open a nursing home, but I don’t know what to do the procedures.” The leader said: “This is a good thing, I will help you.” He specially sent someone to teach me what materials to prepare and what procedures to do. Soon, the procedures were approved.
After I finished the procedures, I planned to open the nursing home in my house, and the whole family supported me very much. My house only has three holesThe cave needs to be renovated and expanded, but it is built very slowly due to lack of money. I invested all the more than 100,000 yuan I earned from opening a housekeeping company, and bought bricks and cement bit by bit to build a house. In order to save money, at first, I asked my father to work as a nurse here. He is 66 years old, in good health and can work; my father-in-law is in his 70s, and he is here to burn boilers; my wife is also working as a nurse here, and she is also in charge of miscellaneous work such as buying vegetables and running errands. With family members helping me, I can save a lot of money every month, and the nursing home can be run with frugality.
I was deeply touched by the nursing home. Rural elderly care is really a big problem. Most of the elderly in cities have pensions for urban employees. Even if their children are not capable, the elderly do not have to suffer any punishment. The elderly in rural areas are different. The pension level is very low and there is no other fixed income. Once you cannot take care of yourself in your life, and if your children ignore him, pension will become a problem. Why do we advocate filial piety? Because this is not easy to do, loving your children is human instinct, and most people can do it, but it is not easy to respect the elderly. The elderly are okay when they can work, but when they really lose their ability to work and even need someone to take care of them, they are often disliked by their children. In the winter of 2020, an old man walked here. He was completely unable to take care of himself during his lifetime, and was paralyzed all over his body, and he was in bed with food, drink, defecation and urination. His own pension social security card is collected and kept by his children. When he gets old, his children at home don’t have time to take care of him, so he puts the elderly here. At normal charges, this fully disabled elderly man gets more than 4,000 yuan per month, but this family can’t afford the money, so I reduced it to 2,600 yuan. As long as he can get his meal and nursing care fees, he still can’t afford it, and later it was reduced to 1,800 yuan. For a while, our government supported the renovation of the bathroom in the nursing home. During the renovation, the elderly could not live there, so we sent him home for 40 days. The elderly fell and broke his bones at home. After the renovation, the old man returned to the nursing home. He was 87 years old that year and had lived in the nursing home for a few days. He said that he felt that he would not live long, and cried and shouted to go back to the Komiks 1960 witch cloth draw home. We called his son and said that your dad didn’t want to stay here and he was going back. Finally, his grandson came. His grandson was in his 30s and kept calling him grandpa at the head of the bed. The old man didn’t say anything, and didn’t say a word. At night, Komiks 1960 witch cloth draw, his grandson pulled him home and died a few days after he returned home.
This is why I say it is too difficult for elderly people in rural areas. But the benefits of running a nursing home are indeed very poor. specialEspecially in rural areas, many elderly people cannot pay the fees at all. They cannot make a profit due to various reasons and cannot improve the conditions of nursing homes. At critical moments, they still have to rely on the Party and the government. In 2020, a leader from the Shanxi Provincial Supervision Group came to see the housekeeping company we run. I suggested, “Why do you want to see our nursing home?” He said, “That’s OK.” The next day he came to the nursing home. While introducing the situation, I told him about the current difficulties. I said that there is no bathroom in the dormitory of the elderly, and they are all dry toilets, making it inconvenient for the elderly to use the toilet. He also saw our Defei and Filial Piety Cultural Experience Room and was moved and said, “No need to say anything else, this is a good learning base. It is really not easy for you, a rural child, to do it now.” Soon, the government was concerned about the construction of nursing homes, built a bathroom for each dormitory, and built a sun room outside. The government supported a total of more than 2 million yuan in construction fees. Now the nursing home has hired more than 20 villagers to help with things, and it seems to be decent. Since its establishment in 2019, nearly 200 elderly people in the village and surrounding areas have moved in. At the same time, three meals a day are provided for elderly people aged 70 and above in the village, each spends only 2 yuan a day. This not only solves the problems of loneliness, poor living conditions and no one to take care of the elderly in the village and surrounding areas, but also solves the employment problems of some idle rural people.
Running for election
I kept thinking that the Communist Party pulled me up from the swamp of poverty, and I couldn’t pat my butt and left, I should do something. Open a housekeeping company and help the government do some work while developing it yourself. It can increase personal employment and income, but has limited effect on the development of the hometown; running a nursing home does not seek profits, but the scale is too small and cannot be developed, so it cannot solve many problems.
At this time, some old party members in Xiaocheng Village came to me and persuaded me to join the party and participate in the election of the village committee director. At first, an old village party secretary in his 70s came to my house to mobilize me. He said, “You are still young. Now the policy is to encourage returning home to start a business. We want you to be the village director and focus on developing industries in the village. If you are willing to take on this burden, I will sponsor you 400,000 yuan first and invest in the village.” I said, “What are you doing? The village is short of money and cannot use your personal money.” The old secretary said, “Just say you are doing it?” I said, “Old Secretary, your suggestions are very good. I still have to consider, one is whether I can choose, and the other is whether I can do it well.” From this day on, the old secretary came to my house six or seven times. He is a cultural person, talks about the party’s policies and the central government’s documents, and analyzed the various conditions for supporting college students and outstanding talents to return to their hometowns to start businesses. He said, “Only by relying on capable people to organize the industries in the village, the country can have hope and the country can be revitalized. href=”https://comicmov.com/”>Babaylan 1990 cloth draw can only prosper. If you don’t seize this historical opportunity, do more things for the people in the village, what are you waiting for? ”
I heard it allThe secretary said, I was also seriously considering it. I discussed this matter with my lover. He said, “I support you in the election. If the Communist Party trains you, you should love the party and the country. How to love the party and the country? It is to do something for the people.” In this way, I signed up for the village cadre election. I think that since I decided to do this, I must do it well at all costs.
After I really participated in the election, I found that the cadres in our village were not something that they could only be just wanted. In rural elections, family power is a particularly important factor. There were 1,314 people in this village at that time, and 824 people met the voting requirements. I am the daughter-in-law who married into the village in another village. My lover is a single seedling, without brothers, and his family has very few people, and there are no 50 votes in total for mobilization. The people who compete with me have a huge family, with more than 300 iron tickets, which is too huge. Someone advised me to give up: “Xiaoma, you can’t compete with others, so forget it!” But I was unwilling to give up and felt that I wanted to make a try. In the first pre-select, I got much fewer votes than the other party. Many people advised me to give up: “The pre-election is so bad, and it is usually difficult to turn the tables during formal elections.” However, this setback actually inspired my fighting spirit.
After the pre-selecting ended, on October 14, 2021, a villagers’ meeting was held in the village, and the two of us candidates took turns to give speeches. When I was giving a speech, I went on stage and said to all the villagers: “If I could become the village director, the first thing I did was to develop industries for our village. There was no coal mine in our village and nothing was there, so Babaylan 1990 clothes draw is a pure agricultural village. When we were fighting poverty, we did not include it in the poor villages. Several poor households were all poor due to illness. With the country’s bottom line, we completed the task. However, now the poverty alleviation campaign has been won. In rural revitalization, have you found that many poor villages in the past are developing better than us? Why? It is because other people’s industries have developed, but we have done nothing! Great time has been wasted. I have thought about it. We can build greenhouses, plant tomatoes, strawberries, and melons. If others can do a good job in the industry, we can do it well.”
I also said: “If I were elected, our village committee will definitely improve the infrastructure of the village. Look at the road in our village, winding and bumpy, Cinema 1950 witch clothes drawEither dusty or muddy, the main street is wide and narrow. After I was elected, I will first make the sewer, then widen the road, and install the street lights. There is also tap water, which has always been our long-term problem. We have been digging wells and drawing water by ourselves, paying 5 yuan a month. Although it is not expensive, everyone knows that the water quality is not good and water is always cut off. At that time, we will bring in the tap water in the city, charge normally, and will never save it again.ttps://comicmov.com/”>Babaylan 1990 cloth drawThe problem of water cut off.”
I stood there and kept saying that although I was nervous, I expressed everything I wanted to say and my ideas. Every word I say is real, heart-to-heart, without a single word of silly head. The villagers saw my sincerity and everyone listened quietly, and no one was playing with their mobile phones or walking around. By the end of the speech, I was a little excited. I said to everyone with tears in my eyes: “Friends, choose me! Although I was not raised by our village, I married at the age of 19. Xiaocheng Village is my home for my whole life. I am sincere and sincere in my good intentions, and I have no selfishness at all. If you choose me, I will pluck the courage to be the backbone of our village. Let’s live a good life and do well in the future! I have the confidence and determination to make our village a benchmark!” As soon as I finished speaking, someone shouted “Okay!”, and the cheers and applause suddenly rose. I could no longer bear it, and suddenly there was a scattered water in front of me Babaylan 1990 clothes draw woolly, tears dripping down my face. I wiped my face and rubbed my eyes with my hands until the common people started voting, and I calmed down a little.
The villagers voted in total 824 votes, and I won 721 votes and was elected as the director of the village committee.
Fast fulfilling my promise
From the moment I was elected as the village director, I have never slept with a stable sleep. I feel heavy every day, and my thoughts and work pressure are too great. I made a promise to so many people. what do I do? How should the village committee be arranged? From which aspect to start doing things?
I have been married for more than ten years, but I am still not familiar with the village: the village has a registered population of 1,314, whose place is located? Are your life in each family good? I don’t know much. Some people who don’t live at home all year round cannot name their names, and I don’t even know what they look like. This needs to be understood step by step.
Soon, the town sent a party branch secretary to our village to help me with my work and take me along the way. After the secretary came, he revealed something to me: before the election, the Organization Department of the County Party Committee sent someone to our village for an undercover visit and held a meeting with more than a dozen party members in our village. At that time, more than a dozen party members unanimously recommended me to be the director of this village. Moreover, the old party members in the village made their own decisions and did not say hello to me. They wrote a letter of recommendation to the Organization Department. After the comrades from the Organization Department left, these more than a dozen party members abide by the discipline and no one told me about this, so I didn’t know at all. It can be seen that the county had already completed training at that time.My preparations, and I not only don’t know the mass work these old party members and cadres do in the village, but also don’t know the overall planning ideas and development goals of the county. I think that my village director is just talking about it with my own mouth, but I just have one word – stupid.
When I just worked as the village committee director, my biggest worry was to have a meeting. As soon as the meeting was held, I asked the secretary to speak. The secretary asked me to say, and I refused: “You say! Don’t let me say it, I won’t say it.” I think it’s a pain to speak, nothing, no, no, God wouldn’t be so cruel to her daughter, so I would never. She couldn’t help but slam her head and refused to accept this cool possibility. Don’t dare to say anything. The secretary specifically talked to me: “Xiaoma, you have to exercise yourself. When I leave, you have to be the top leader of this village and be your own side.”
Our village party members and cadres discussed how to build industries. After all, I feel that it is more stable to develop agriculture in the countryside first. The first step is to build greenhouses and develop agricultural parks. We organized party members and village representatives to hold meetings, and most of us had no objection to this idea. Then we started doing it. First, more than 300 acres of irrigated land in Xiaocheng Village must be transferred. But as soon as we took office, we didn’t do much research, we just did the job of land acquisition, which may not be popular, so we held a meeting of party members and villagers’ representatives to tell everyone about the current basic situation. Everyone in the village said, “Do it, there is nothing to discuss.” At this moment, we divided the party members and villagers’ representatives into 6 groups to do the work of transferring land.
The village agreed to transfer the land per mu was 300 yuan, but the village not only had no money at that time, but also had more than 200,000 yuan in foreign debt. what to do? We promised the villagers: transfer to the village for 5 years at one time, and don’t pay for the first time. We will develop first, and gradually give it to the next year. At this time, there was a new crown epidemic here again. The villagers were all at home and could find people when doing their work. The goal of the first phase is 100 acres of land, and 86 acres will be transferred in a week. The agreement has been signed and the transfer procedures have been completed. I thought things went well, but when I saw the remaining 14 acres, I was stunned: these 14 acres belong to several families, divided into several small pieces, scattered in various locations of 100 acres of land. If they were not transferred, the greenhouse would not be built at all. These families may have set up an offensive and defensive alliance, and they disagree with the transfer. They also said, “Even if they give 10,000 yuan, they will not transfer. Cinema 1950 witch cloth draw“
I knew they were not easy to mess with, so I just went to them to discuss: It would be okay if you don’t transfer. I will replace a piece of land for you to go, and it will not affect your planting. This way we can build a greenhouse. Do you think it’s OK? As a result, these families firmly disagree. I was anxious, so I went to these families to work repeatedly. As a result, I went there more and they felt annoyed and had a worse attitude. I started to blame me: “You are a woman, and you are married from another village.What can you do? The people gave you all this land, but I don’t know if you can do it. This is our ration land, and no matter what we say, it will be circulated. ”
I was worried about the transfer of land when a bad news suddenly came. I Cinema 1950 witch clothes drawMy daughter was in college in Wuhan and suddenly fell ill and had a tumor on her body. At first, it was just a little bit. She thought it was ordinary inflammation and didn’t care. As a result, she grew older and older in a few days. My daughter was scared. After going to a hospital in Wuhan for examination, the doctor said that she would have to undergo surgery immediately and called me to go to Wuhan quickly. This was the critical stage of land transfer, and only these 14 acres could not be transferred. As soon as I left, some changes might occur in the village. It is very likely that the transferred land would be turned back again, and this matter would not be done! I thought about it and called my daughter and said, “Baby, my mother is really busy these days. If you come back a few days, let’s go to Taiyuan for surgery. Mom will find you the best doctor. “My daughter is very obedient. After a few days, she bought a plane ticket back to Taiyuan, but she was quarantined for another week at Taiyuan Airport. After she was quarantined, I rushed to Taiyuan to hospital for her. After the doctor checked, she looked at the medical records in Wuhan and said that the tumor has grown so big and must be taken out. She must have scars. My daughter was still wiping her tears when she was pushed into the operating room. The surgery lasted for more than 40 minutes in total. The more I waited, I became more and more scared. I really Komiks 1960 witch clothes drawI was afraid that she would have some bad habits. At around 3 pm, my daughter came out and the tumor was taken out. It was a common fibroid. The test result was benign. I finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The next day when I returned to the village, I held a meeting of all party members, and more than 40 party members were present. I told everyone the whole story of my daughter’s illness. I cried and said, “She is my baby daughter, a child from our village, and you watched you grow up. When I set up a stall to sell fruit, I put her in a cardboard box. You all joked: “This little girl is so cute, how did she sell it?” ’When I was cooking at the construction site, she played by the pot and helped me get some firewood. But I became the village director, why can’t I take care of her? If this matter cannot be done in the end, think about who can you be worthy of? “I cried and said that the old party members and cadres couldn’t stand it anymore. They said, “Xiao Ma, you don’t have to worry about the hard bones of the 14 acres of land. Cinema 1950 witch cloth draw, we will definitely chew it for you! “In less than a few days, the party members concentrated on the work of those families, and transferred all the land that was in trouble in the middle, although there were still sporadic thingsThe land has not been transferred, but it has no longer affected the construction of greenhouses. I felt that I was full of hope and vitality at this moment. I didn’t ask them what method to “lobby” and how to understand reason and emotion, but I know that most party members did something, and they spontaneously reduced the price of their own land transfer, which had a particularly good impact in the village and allowed people to see the sincerity of party members.
The situation has turned around and I am so happy. At that time, we pieced together and raised funds, and three high-standard and high-quality greenhouses were built in the village. The three greenhouses are all high-quality fruits and tomatoes. In the first year, people were not very confident and said, “The raw land is not easy to plant.” And they didn’t have any skills, just a technician in the county came to give some guidance occasionally. However, unexpectedly, the tomatoes grew very well in the first year, and there were no pests and diseases. The yield was high, they were large, and they were sweet and delicious. The people went to the greenhouse to see and said, “The vegetables grown in winter can be so good!” The county party secretary came to the greenhouse to see, and I did some calculations for him: many people said that doing agriculture is a loss of money, but our village must make money. The technician said that this acre of land can produce 20,000 kilograms of tomatoes, which is the most conservative 10,000 kilograms. This is the output. Where is the sales channel? The picking order can round all the tomatoes this year. Tomato picking, there are 20 yuan per pound, and there are 10 yuan. The consumption here is not that high, so I still calculate the most conservatively. It is not expensive to sell 5 yuan per catty, right? One acre of land can be sold for 50,000 yuan. Tomatoes are easy to take care of and they don’t need any technology, so ordinary people can grow them. If all this area is made into a park, you can pay dividends to the people in one year. The county party secretary thought I was right. In this way, the county listed our village’s agricultural park as a key project and made every effort to build it. The county has invested 3.7 million yuan in full, and now 14 greenhouses and 1 cold storage have been built. We have also expanded the varieties of planting, not only tomatoes, but also strawberries, melons, and various vegetables. In the future, we will mainly use picking to digest all the yield. Of course, we also have a backup plan, which is to connect with supermarket retail guarantees.
In addition to economic income, running a greenhouse has more hidden benefits. The industry brings a lot of employment convenience to the village. This park is collectively managed. Village teams and cadres must participate in labor in the park. They are all party members, responsible and easy to manage. It also led to employment for dozens of people in the village. These people were originally working outside, but now they are employed at their doorsteps, which realizes the original intention of “bringing people who have gone out”. In addition to going to work, they can also take care of the elderly and children, and they are in a happier mood. In fact, earning 3,000 yuan at your doorstep is much more cost-effective than earning 6,000 yuan in Beijing, because the expenditure on living in big cities is much higher than at home.
Building Road
Because our village was not listed as a poor village before, it is about building roadsThere is no light on poverty alleviation. The main road in the village is also the road leading to the picking greenhouse, which is bumpy and too broken. During the peak picking season, many tourists come every day, and more and more. Such a road will definitely not meet the needs of development in the future. We planned to widen the road to 6 meters. This plan was passed at the villagers’ meeting, but some of the villagers on both sides of the road opposed it because they wanted to demolish the small warehouse built by their family and occupy the land in front of their house. And there is a bigger contradiction. We broke the original old road with a large electric pickaxe truck, and it was broken deeper, and planned to do all the sewage discharge pipes and other things at once to avoid breaking ground in the future. As soon as the old road was dug, a family on the side of the road came to me to “compete” and said that the electric pickaxe had caused a crack in his house. I went to see that his house was built with cement boards, and there were seams between the boards. When the house was first built, it was painted with big white putty, and there was no visible seams. Now there was a crack on the putty powder, which was located just at the joints of the two cement boards. I said, “You are cracked in the wall, not the house, right?” He said, “No, my house is cracked and I can’t live in anyone, you pay me a house.” There is no way, the village found a professional house inspection agency for the appraisal. The people were busy with their whole life and came to the conclusion: “This house is safe, and it’s okay to have a magnitude 6 earthquake, don’t worry.” I said to the owner of the household, “You have no problem with your house, I can paint the wall for you.” The owner of the household said, “You found the inspection agency, and I don’t agree. If you don’t compensate me, you don’t repair this road.” I asked me to compensate him. I said, “The money from the public is not a joke. You must understand every money you spend. Your house is obviously not broken. How can you compensate you?” He said, “That’s the question you need to consider, don’t tell me.” From that day on, he blocked the piece at the door of his house and obstructed the construction. No matter how you tell him, he couldn’t do it.
In the evening, a villager was a lobbyist and came to persuade me: “The government invested several million yuan to build a greenhouse for us, and it would take millions of yuan to build this road. You have finally made money. How can you lose the big picture for this? Just give it to him.” I said: “This money must not be given. First, this is the money that the master gave Wuming. If he gave it to him, I will go to jail. Second, this kind of thing cannot be solved by compromise. If you give it to him, you will be given a second or a third one. No matter what I do, I will be cheated to death. Our village doesn’t have to find a way to get rich, so I will get rich if I come to cheat me! Third, you go back and tell him that the road construction is issued by the village party branch. Cinema 1950 witch clothes drawAs soon as the congress of all villagers agrees, there are stamps, documents, approval from superiors, and laws can be followed. Obstructing road construction is to disrupt public order. If we just obstruct this, our village still has a lot to do. What else can we do? ”
The next day, this family continued to obstruct road construction and spread rumors in the villagers’ groups. The road that had been dug up was just stuck and could not be constructed. I was always anxious during that period. One was anxious about the construction progress, and the other was unwilling to give up and couldn’t swallow this breath. I lost my hair, had oral ulcers, couldn’t sleep all night. I took calming medicine, gunpowder, and sleeping pills. Later, I seemed to have a drug dependence, and I didn’t feel like I was dependent on it every day. I know how many times I have to open the drawer and take medicine handfuls.
The father who blocked the road construction was in his 70s and fully understood the cause and effect of the whole thing. The old man eats in the nursing home I run every day. Seeing my haggard and worried look, he comes to me to chat and comfort me, and goes home to persuade his son: “Building roads for the village is a good thing for future generations. Don’t blackmail her, you can’t do this unethical thing. “But his son didn’t listen at all.
In this way, the road in the village was “opened” and left there for a whole few months. I felt that I was going to be depressed. When I was in the worst case, I cried every day, didn’t eat, didn’t sleep, and didn’t care about the children. I really couldn’t figure out this matter, and even why I got to this point. If this happens, the village cadres who want to do things cannot do it, and the young people who want to come back and start a business will not come back. What should we do in our countryside? Our small family cannot be happy , How can a great country get better? I have always been puzzled and worried.
Later, our county learned about this matter, attached great importance to it, and quickly sent a working group to investigate and understand carefully, and carried out its work with all its efforts. Finally, with the strong support of the county and the active cooperation and help of the working group, it cleared the obstacles and ensured that we were building roads normally.
Tomorrow will be better
The 10th of the Party href=”https://comicmov.com/”>Babaylan 1990 clothes drawThe 12 years since the Eighth National Congress, whether it is the more than 8 years of the fight against poverty or the three years of my life as a village cadre, from me personally, our village to the whole country, there have been earth-shaking changes, and they are developing and moving forward smoothly. I have been from a poor woman helped and taken care of by the Party, trained by the Party to become a deputy person in the People’s Congress, a leader in getting rich, and a director of the village committee. In January 2024, I met very much. The organization has helped me do a lot of things. I met a very small number of malicious people, and benefited from the vast majority of people who support us in doing things and starting businesses.
There are now 7 people in the village committees of Xiaocheng Village, with young people accounting for half of them. When the team is young, they are energetic. The agricultural park has been built, and the scale of characteristic planting is getting bigger and bigger, and the village collective and the people have a continuous and stable income; the roads have been repaired and the street lights have been lit up. In the future, tourists will pick them.It is more convenient; the tap water is also connected, and it is not as often as before; our transformer collapsed many times before, and it always needs to be repaired. Last year, two new transformers were installed, and the electricity was stabilized; photovoltaic panels were also made on the roof of the village committee, and the income was more than 100,000 yuan a year. The village has earned and spent money, and we saved 500,000 to 600,000 yuan in the collective account. When we saved 1 million yuan, we would pay dividends to the people.
As mentioned earlier, in 2019, I converted my house into a nursing home, providing care for nearly 200 elderly people in the village and surrounding areas, but after all, the scale and conditions are limited. Last year, our village had the opportunity to report to the leaders of the Provincial Department of Finance. I asked him: “If there is a project to build a nursing home in the province, can we consider building it in our village? Our air is good and the environment is good. It is very close to the township location and the expressway exit. There are more than 1,000 people in the village and enough labor.” The leader was very supportive and said that they would do a good job of research to see if it is appropriate to build it in the village. As a result, things went smoothly. The nursing home project was approved. Now, a new standardized nursing home has been built and facilities are being improved. It is planned to start operations in the first half of this year.
This new nursing home can not only allow the elderly in our village to live in, but also attract the elderly in the surrounding areas to come here for retirement. The village can make a living and can also help some people in the village to find employment. Nursing homes can provide 50-60 jobs, which can absorb college students from the village to come back and do management work in the nursing home office; technical secondary school students can also come back to work as electricians, security guards, or drive a car as a driver. Those villagers in their fifties and sixties, after nursing training, can work in nursing homes and take care of the elderly in their seventies and eighties.
The new nursing home is built on the top of the mountain. The elderly can see the particularly beautiful scenery of our village through the window. They Cinema 1950 witch cloth drawThey can see the whole thing. She doesn’t know how this incredible thing happened, nor do they know whether their guesses and ideas are wrong. She only knew that she had the chance to change everything and could not continue the village. Seeing the roof of her home, she could see the red and green all over the mountains when the flowers were blooming in spring, and she could see our Sanchuan River flowing around Yunshan Temple towards the Yellow River. Next year, the village will further green and beautify the overall scenery, and the scenery will be better then. The elderly spend their old age here and enjoy professional care. Their children can work in nursing homes and earn wages. How happy they should be in life.
In addition, by the second day of the first lunar month next year, all the villagers outside will come back to worship their ancestors. Our village cadres thought that at that time, we would organize the whole village to gather in the restaurant of our nursing home to have a tea party or have a meal, and we would discuss the affairs in the village together. Let those local wise and capable people who have been outside all year round and do business help the village and give more advice. After all, my hometown is the root of everyone and the place we Chinese care about the most.
Small outlookTomorrow of becoming a village, we must work hard to embroider the great cause of rural revitalization and make small villages famous. We cannot only make a name for themselves in Liulin or Luliang, but also in Shanxi and even the whole country.
