The reporter saw Wu Jianliang's new house at No. 28, Xiaofukeng, Fukeng Village.
This two-story building is clean and bright, with a couplet at the door that says "Flowers bloom and wealth, bamboo returns peace."
Now, the life of Wu Jianliang's family has been improved, and there is no need to crowd into the dilapidated house in the past.
According to reports, with the help of many sources, he ran more than 400 grapefruit trees and earned nearly 60,000 yuan in income throughout the year.
When I visited Fukeng Village, I often heard villagers praise Wu Jianliang for his hard work and hard work.
It is understood that part of the building materials for his new house was collected by the family from nearby mountains and rivers, saving a lot of money.
In addition, the villagers who got rich first in the village were willing to help, and a family of four moved in a new house, and their days became richer and richer.
Poverty alleviation cadre Yang Zhaoxiong said that his town adopted the form of "enterprise + cooperative + poor households" to help poor households get rid of poverty. People who were poor in the past like Wu Jianliang are now relying on planting golden pomelo to improve their lives.
According to statistics, 1144 people from 560 households have been lifted out of poverty in the town so far, and the poverty alleviation rate has reached 100%.
In the Meixian District Zhongxin Fruit Cooperative, piles of golden pomelo are stacked in the warehouse like hills.
Liao Zhijun, the chairman of the cooperative, has been busy on his mobile phone, and buyers from all over the world keep calling for contact during the peak period of golden pomelo sales.
According to Liao Zhijun, there are now more than 100 members of the cooperative, which mainly provide them with the necessary agricultural production materials, provide agricultural products transportation, processing, and storage services for members, and also carry out related technical training, technical exchanges and consulting service activities.

In the factory of the cooperative, the selection of golden pomelo has been intelligentized.
Liao Zhijun said that in the past, if you didn't open pomelo, you didn't know whether it was sweet or not. Now you can know if the device is scanned.
The reporter saw that Jinyou picked multiple recycling bins on both sides of the conveyor belt and marked them with different sugar content values.
The equipment screens the golden pomelo according to the sugar content and collects them in bins.
In the Jinyou packaging and shipping area, workers are busy packing and shipping. The employee Zhu Yumei told reporters that she used to lack planting technology and the grapefruit harvest at home was not good. With the help of the poverty alleviation team, she not only mastered the grapefruit planting technology, but also worked here, and the whole family had been lifted out of poverty. (Finish)
