“Five less and five more” reflects the new life of farmers in Shangrao

Over the past 20 years of reform and opening up, Shangrao’s economic construction has made remarkable achievements. Compared with the past, the city has taken on a completely new look, and the living standards and quality of life of urban residents have improved year by year. At the same time, the reporter experienced firsthand the new changes in Shangrao's rural areas from some of the towns and villages he visited. During the visit, reporters and farmers chatted about household chores, talked about harvests, experienced new life in the countryside, and understood the new ideas and changes of the new century, new countryside, and new farmers...

Eat less and eat more vegetables

It is a hot summer day, and the supply of fresh vegetables on the market exceeds demand. Farmer Yang Guangxing’s home in Minzhu Village, Beimen Township, Xinzhou District, has a vegetable basket filled with all kinds of green vegetables and meats. food. Due to Master Yang's kind invitation, the reporter had the honor to have lunch with Master Yang's family. On the dining table, the reporter saw: Braised carp, stir-fried meat with celery, eggplant, cabbage, cucumber and stir-fried shredded pork...the whole table was filled. During the dinner, Mr. Yang talked about the changes in living conditions before and after the reform and opening up. Master Yang told reporters that before the reform and opening up, let alone eating meat, it was good to have a full meal; now that people have become more expensive, it is good to have a bowl of rice if there is no good food. My grandson is even more blessed. ! You have to drink a glass of milk and eat an egg every morning. If there is no meat in any meal, it will be said that there is no food. The current life can only be described as "good"...

It is understood that in recent years, our city has In terms of food, farmers have shown the phenomenon of eating well on the basis of fullness, which is reflected in changes such as an increase in the share of non-staple food, an increase in the proportion of fine grain consumption, and a doubling of nutritious food. During an interview in Dingzhou Village, Xinzhou District, the reporter learned that the village consumes nearly 60 bottles of fresh milk every day. The good life has changed the farmers' dietary structure.

Less walking and more riding by car

At the entrance of National Highway 320 in Shangrao County, the reporter saw this situation: dozens of motorcycles were waiting to pick up passengers, and one arrived within ten minutes A bus bound for the countryside. The reporter boarded a bus going to Hucun Township. A farmer named Zhao told the reporter that it was not easy to visit the county seat a few years ago. The road was a small road, let alone a car. It was difficult for people to walk on rainy days. , a trip to the county town usually involves walking or riding a bicycle, which takes at least half a day. In recent years, the country has increased the construction of rural infrastructure, building roads and bridges, and every village has access to roads. When the roads are good, there will naturally be more cars. For 5 yuan, farmers can go to the city and do business. It is convenient to do personal business and buy some things, and the rural economy has also developed. People going into the city to play or purchase goods, the cars are full of people all day long, which is convenient.

In Bixia Village, Hucun Township, the reporter learned that there are 6 motorcycle sales stores in the village, and farmers in the village have purchased no less than 400 motorcycles or other motor vehicles. Farmers have also imitated city dwellers to drive to the vegetable market to buy groceries. Gone are the days of walking alone in rural areas.

You will see more if you go out less

The reporter saw in Hufang Town, Qianshan Township that the vast majority of farmers now have built small Western-style buildings with single doors and courtyards, and modern electrical appliance stores. You can see it everywhere, all kinds of color TVs, DVD home theaters, refrigerators, washing machines and other electrical appliances occupy a prominent position. If you open a house at random, its interior decoration and configuration are basically the same as those in the city.

At the home of a farmer surnamed Zheng, he told reporters that the weather is so hot, he can find out what he is doing when he goes out and if he has anything to do, just make a phone call. Now he is no longer as information-blocked as before. As he spoke, he took out a Nokia mobile phone and held it in front of the reporter and said: Look, our village can now receive signals. While chatting with local fellow villagers, Liu's cell phone rang for a while, and Uncle Li's cell phone rang for a while, and it was also a ring tone. A few years ago, making a phone call was a very luxurious thing for farmers.

Not only are telephones now available in every household, but mobile phones can also be found everywhere. Many farmers also subscribe to newspapers and magazines, and their TVs are equipped with satellite TV. Some even use computers, allowing them to keep up to date with world affairs without leaving home. There are more and more capable people in farming in rural areas. Information, sales, weather conditions, everything really needs to be understood through the media. Due to long-term reading of newspapers and watching news, farmers have a wider range of knowledge and go out less, but they are less knowledgeable. More and more, life is getting more and more prosperous.

There is less farm work and more business work

In recent years, with the improvement of agricultural production technology in Shangrao, major changes have taken place in the rural economic structure, and less labor is needed for agricultural production. , so there is a large amount of surplus labor. On the other hand, township and village enterprises in our city have developed rapidly in recent years. Coupled with the growing demand for labor in coastal areas and cities in this region, the number of farmers in our city working in cities, going out to work, and doing business continues to increase.

When the reporter was interviewing in Huanggu Town, Shangrao County, a farmer surnamed Xu told the reporter that now that the policy has been liberalized, the government encourages farmers to go out to work, and it is easier to do business than before. This is good. Coming to do farm work is far less than going out to work to make money. Secondly, it is more efficient to let a few people contract and manage rural land; doing business is fine, but it is better than tying yourself to those few acres of thin fields.

It is understood that in recent years, after Shangrao has increased its efforts to attract foreign investment, many non-local enterprises have settled in Shangrao, which has brought great impetus to Shangrao’s economic construction and also transferred a large number of rural surplus labor in our city. . Nowadays, there are really fewer farmers doing farm work and more doing business!

Children have less knowledge but more knowledge

With the extensive publicity and vigorous development of family planning work in our city, family planning has become a conscious action of Shangrao farmers. The phenomenon of a couple having three children has disappeared in rural areas now. Basically, a couple only has one child. At the same time, villagers are paying more and more attention to their children's education.

During interviews in rural areas of Yushan County, we learned that in the past, some rural farmers were influenced by the idea of ????carrying on the family line and had a lot of children, but none of them went to high school, especially girls who could finish junior high school. Even that’s good. Now the villagers are having fewer children, but they are paying more attention to their children's education. The money parents spend on their children's education accounts for the majority of household expenditures. After this year's college entrance examination, many rural students who were admitted to junior colleges would rather stay for their senior year of high school and plan to pursue undergraduate studies next year. According to statistics, it is not uncommon for a village to have more than 10 college students. The obvious improvement in the knowledge level of rural children has also led to the improvement of farmers' cultural quality.

The five small and five more farmers in Shangrao are like a mirror that reflects the current quality of life of farmers and the future hope of Shangrao's rural areas.

The gap is that compared with cities, they are still very backward, and the development of rural areas is also uneven.

There are many problems, such as the gap between rich and poor, economic backwardness, lagging education and health, lack of social security, Fair traffic, conflicts over land acquisition, weak legal concepts, preference for boys over girls, etc.
