Cao Jianping, director of the third -level director of Longquan Guanzhen, said that Gujiatai Village is back to Sanjian Mountain. The temperature difference between day and night is large, which is conducive to the accumulation of nutrients. The fallen leaves in the mountains have accumulated for many years, and they are also good planting materials during plant growth. Raising flowers in Gujiatai Village has a natural advantage.

But ten years ago, there were very few people raising flowers here.

Poor! In 2012, there were more than 100 people in Gujiatai Village, with an annual income of 980 yuan per capita. Many villagers live in tattered adobe houses. There are many cracks on the wall. When it rains, the house is always afraid of the collapse of the house. Usually come to an individual, there is almost no place in the room.

People are poor. The villager Gu Chenghu said, "I can't even raise my family. How can I have that kung fu flowers?"

So why are there so many flowers now? "It has something to do with the surrounding environment." Gu Jincheng, the secretary of the village party branch, said, "Life is rich, the traffic is good, and the living is bright. The door is green mountains. If you are not embellished in the yard and the house, Do you feel almost meaningful? "

Where does the flowers come from? "Some of the branches from the neighbor's house and the root of the root cuttings or planting, some were bought by the car and ran to the county seats more than forty kilometers away, and some bought it from the Internet." Gu Jincheng said. Flowers have been raised for a long time, and the flowers of the big guys are getting more and more refined.

"In the past, which one was good, which one is good -looking now." The villager Gu Haimei was the first person to raise Phalaenopsis in the village. "Phalaenopsis Jingui, I haven't thought of being able to raise in the village before. Now the conditions are good, I have time to wait for it." For Gu Haimei, raising flowers is both a daily interest and hope of life.

Gu Chenghu's family earned more than 30,000 yuan last year. There are more than a dozen pots of large and small in the new courtyard, and the red camellia is open. Like many villagers, Gu Chenghu put the flowers in the yard in summer and moved back to the house in winter.

In the past ten years, Gujiatai Village's per capita annual income increased doubled, reaching 19,153 yuan in 2021, almost 20 times that of 2012. The flowers in the village are brightly blooming, just like the villagers who were poured by happiness, full of essence, the old district of the Taihang Mountain Revolution was decorated.

There are many morals of flowers. For the villagers of Gujiatai Village, farming is just the beginning of a happy life, and a better day is still behind.
