China News Service, Jilin, July 11 (Shi Hongyu, Sun Boyan) "83, 86, 90", these numbers represent the year of birth, which means that a group of "uncommon" young people came from the village. After Liu Zhi, who was born in 1986, led the village team to Yushugou, the average age of the village team "straight down", the computer in the village department began to function, and there were signs of activity in the fields and village roads.

  Yushugou Village is a "hometown of rice" under the jurisdiction of Xin'an Township, Shulan City, Jilin Province. It is more than 80 kilometers away from the county seat and takes more than two hours by car. Subject to geographical location, the young labor force in the village continues to decrease, "the average age is nearly 50 years old," and 56 poor households appear.

  In 2016, Liu Zhilai, who worked in the Shulan Safety Production Supervision and Enforcement Brigade, served as the first secretary of the village. Thereafter, Li Tiezhu, born in 1983, and Ma Bowen, born in 1990, came one after another.

  "We were still talking about how to send a group of dolls." Villager Ren Yanchun said, "In terms of age, this group of young people is not necessarily reliable." His basis is that the village secretary is 57 years old and the village director is 52 years old. Too young can't bear the pain of the countryside."

  Liu Zhi opened the situation with diligence. After arriving at the post, he and the village cadres visited poor households, disabled households, and five-guarantee households. After learning about the situation of each family, he used notes to record relevant information in detail, and then made a table. Liu Zhi did a good job of these headaches for the elderly village cadres. "The materials and reports will come out on the same day."

  Liu Zhi said, "It is very important to find the cause and effect of poverty and the logical relationship. These materials are the basis for finding poverty alleviation policies and building poverty alleviation industries." Thereafter, Li Tiezhu and Ma Bowen came to support.

  In the village, they rented a private house, and the front and back houses were full of vegetables. Because of their enthusiasm, villagers often come here to "guide" their vegetable growing skills. Chopping wood for fire, washing and cooking, the three have their own division of labor.

  In terms of work, the division of labor and characteristics of the three young people are also different. Li Tiezhu is a veteran. When he encounters pressure and resistance, the execution of the soldier will be reflected; Ma Bowen is "flexible" and can always find a solution to the problem quickly; Villagers are quite good at doing work.

  They combined with local natural and labor conditions, and with the support of various levels of departments, finally decided to launch the black fungus plantation industry.

  Liu Zhi went to the local wealth leader Sun Limin twice to discuss cooperative matters, so that poor households with working ability came to work here, and poor households with no working ability received dividends at the end of the year. "Secretary Liu was very sincere and said that he wanted to make the village better." Sun Limin said.

  With the bottom of the industrial project, the three young people adopted the "ant is meat" strategy to grasp a variety of production operations. When planting waxy corn, Li Tiezhu took the lead, and the difficulty was promoted by it; Ma Bowen sought technical support for planting, and Liu Zhi focused on marketing and policy support.

  When the "product" off-line distributor came to the village to buy, the villagers gave the three people a "praise": "These young people are very good and take the village as their own."

  The enthusiasm of young people is also deeply rooted. Villager Wang Jilei's house caught fire, and Liu Zhi brought clothes from his house for washing, and carried another 50 pounds of rice when he visited. Under his coordination, Wang Jilei lived in the nursing home. The wheelchairs of the elderly poor Li Guifen were coordinated by three young people.

  Today, the youth element in the village is indispensable. When three young people are running, they will run to the nearby mountains; at the same time, they are also used to working overtime at night. It was late at night, and they would meet with the patrol, "look from door to door, and talk with the folks on the way to talk about homely life."

  The three young men will finally fight a battle of offense against the poverty alleviation forces in Jilin. As of now, Jilin City has lifted out of poverty accounted for 95.1% of the total number of poor people, victory is just around the corner.

  Communication channels between young people are also easy to establish. When the epidemic situation of the new coronary pneumonia in Shulan was tight, Liu Zhi contacted the young people working abroad, and the other party sent hundreds of masks by mail.

  "If you develop well outside, if you have the right opportunity to invest, you can go home and have a look. Your home is beautiful, you can raise cattle, and you grow sweet corn and fungus." Liu Zhi said on the phone about the situation in his hometown, and the other party also gave Respond positively. (Finish)
