This is an ordinary and somewhat unexpected story. Generally speaking, like the experience of many returning college students, my sister Yu Qingqing and my brother Yu Yongbin both graduated from college and worked in the city for several years. At the same time, they returned to Jiangxinzhou where they lived since childhood. Jiangxinzhou is an island in the Yangtze River, surrounded by water. Like many villages in the mountains, young people are rare on the island. The difference between them was noticed after the reporter had an in-depth chat with them. To return from the city to a village with ordinary conditions in all aspects to start a business and live, the young sisters and brothers did not develop according to the general "plot", they did not have a fierce ideological struggle, and there was no conflict with their parents who finally sent them to the city. In the words of sister and brother, although they do multiple-choice questions, each choice is very natural and not tangled. When college students go back to rural areas to start a business, they will not be looked at differently and will not make others feel that it is "worthless", so there is great hope for Rural Revitalization. Busy One afternoon in early winter, the reporter came to the gold copper vegetable base managed by the sister, brother and family. Yu Qingqing, who was waiting there, told reporters that his younger brother Yu Yongbin was responsible for sales and was usually absent in the afternoon. "I was responsible for growing vegetables and he was responsible for selling vegetables". The gold copper vegetable base is located on the Tietong River in Zongyang County, Tongling City, Anhui Province. It used to be called Tietong township. In the first half of this year, the administrative division of Zongyang County was adjusted, Tietong township was abolished, and it went to the adjacent Zongyang Town, which is separated by Jiajiang River in the Yangtze River. From the town to Jiangxinzhou, you need to take a ferry. When I saw Yu Yongbin, it was the next morning. He drove the vegetable truck back to the base. My sister born in 1988 and my brother born in 1990 stood together. Although their skin was a little dark, they looked very healthy and didn't look old. Yu Yongbin's dark circles are very heavy. He asked him if he often stayed up late. He smiled and replied: "I live the life of the elderly. I seldom stay up late. I usually go to bed at more than 8 o'clock at night." Seeing the reporter's surprise, Yu Qingqing explained that his brother had to get up at more than two o'clock in the morning to deliver vegetables in Tongling City. He couldn't get up without going to bed early. "Every day?" The reporter asked. "Basically, I started at more than two o'clock. The pickup truck ran slowly. It was almost 10 a.m. when I came back from the city. I loaded vegetables at the base at more than 1 p.m. and sent them to a large vegetable market in Anqing, a neighboring city. I went home at more than 6 p.m. and had to go to bed early at night." Yu Yongbin said. Yu Qingqing will rest before 10 p.m. and get up at four or five o'clock in the morning. "Vegetables should be picked early. I should get up early to prepare various tools for picking vegetables and baskets for loading vegetables. When workers come, they can pick vegetables directly to save time." Yu Qingqing smiled and said, "hard work is for sure," but I'm busy. " Half a soil expert Yu Qingqing is very busy now. Besides the base, she has to go out to study. After the National Day holiday this year, she went to Xiaogang Village, Fengyang County, Chuzhou City, Anhui Province, the birthplace of China's rural reform, and participated in the training course of "Rural Revitalization action for women"; In September, she went to He county, Ma'anshan City, Anhui Province to study, which is a famous vegetable planting County in the Yangtze River Delta. Yu Qingqing said that when you go to study in other places, you get different results every time. In Xiaogang Village, she met a large grower and asked her for a lot of technical tips on weeding. In He county, she learned a good way to prevent capsicum from lodging, "I visited the greenhouse of others. There are lines under the capsicum tree, which are beautiful in rows. At first I thought it was just for beauty, but later I learned that it can prevent capsicum from lodging." Yu Qingqing, who was worried about pepper lodging, said. Yu Qingqing's major is economics. She laughs that the knowledge about economics in her mind is now occupied by vegetable science. In the slightly messy office and conference room, there are all kinds of professional books on vegetable planting and pest control. "I've been working for seven years, and I'm half a local expert." Yu Qingqing said. In addition to professional books on vegetable planting, what Yu Qingqing reads most is actually college textbooks. She still keeps her college textbooks such as macroeconomics and microeconomics, and will double them when she has time. "Looking at it now, I feel really different from when I was at school. In particular, microeconomics, combined with the changes in the supply and demand structure of vegetables and the fluctuation of vegetable prices, I find that there are many theories in it. The more I look at it, the more interesting it becomes." Yu Qingqing said. Yu Qingqing knows the characteristics of Chinese cabbage, pepper, eggplant and other common vegetables. "At first, I didn't understand anything. In recent years, my father took the area, read books by himself, and invited experts to the base to teach." Yu Qingqing said. In the first four years of the vegetable base, Yu Qingqing had to spend money to hire vegetable growers from other places every year, sometimes for a few months. "Basically, two experts are invited every year, and eight experts are invited in four years. One master has the specialty of one master. While learning, I explore again from practice." Yu Qingqing said that the current gold copper vegetable base is the head of many families. Unlike his sister, Yu Yongbin doesn't have much research on growing vegetables. Although he will help to go down to the ground when farming is busy, for him, the more important thing is sales. Yu Yongbin is a university student in Wuhan, majoring in mechanical engineering. "Now driving is a little professional." Yu Yongbin said with a smile. The sister standing aside added: "he has to turn on the rotary cultivator when turning over the land. He is very good at it." Young people with attitude After graduation, Yu Qingqing engaged in education and training in Guangdong, and Yu Yongbin worked in a large state-owned enterprise in Hefei, Anhui. When they decided to return home to grow vegetables in October 2014, they both had a firm foothold in their respective cities and had a good income. "My father used to do some vegetable business. Later, he thought it was cost-effective to go back to his hometown and grow vegetables by himself. He came back to Baodi to grow vegetables." Yu Qingqing said that before and after the 2014 national day, the family discussed it together, and she and her brother decided to come back and work together. "We don't tangle. We can do anything serious, whether in the city or in the countryside, and we all think the future development prospect of agriculture is very good." Yu Qingqing said that his parents are also very open-minded and respect their opinions. Yu Zhengyang, 57, Yu Qingqing's father, went out to work at the age of 15, pulling coal and selling vegetables in Anqing, Wuhu, Nanjing and other places. He thought it was normal for the two college students who had been hard trained at home to come back to grow vegetables. Yu Zhengyang said that although the children's major is not vegetable planting, they have different horizons and ideas through university training, which is very helpful to the development of vegetable bases. Now Jintong vegetable base has transferred more than 300 mu of land, built more than 230 vegetable greenhouses, more than 40 mu of peach garden and some open-air vegetable fields. Yu Qingqing and Yu Yongbin are married, and their other half has their own career. The vegetable base is mainly managed by sister and brother and their parents. In the eyes of the younger brothers and sisters, now the family has a good life together and the vegetable base is booming. The multiple-choice question that decided to return home was right. Vegetables need a lot of water. At the beginning of the base, they all rely on artificial irrigation. It is inevitable that the irrigation is uneven and the survival rate of vegetables is not guaranteed. At the insistence of sister and brother, the vegetable base began to carry out intelligent and automatic transformation. Qian Lei, the electricity administrator of the suburban central power supply station of Zongyang County power supply company, witnessed the process of the base from artificial to intelligent. "This requires a relatively large investment at one time. Many people are reluctant to give up. Their siblings are very far sighted." In 2019, the vegetable base invested more than 300000 yuan in the electrical intelligent transformation of the farm, upgraded the intelligent electrification greenhouse, added electric drip irrigation and automatic temperature control system, and popularized the application of water and fertilizer integration technology. What is the most difficult to "serve" and grow good vegetables after planting vegetables for 7 years? I was surprised by the answers of my sister and brother. "It's the most common Chinese cabbage. The more common it is, the harder it is to grow it." Yu Yongbin said that like chefs, scrambled eggs with tomatoes are very common, but it still needs real Kung Fu to be delicious. At the end of the interview, I proposed to take a group photo for my sister and brother. They chose the background in the slightly monotonous seedling raising greenhouse. "Every vegetable starts to sprout from here." Yu Qingqing said. (outlook new era)
