"The weeds of this season are relatively strong, and it is not easy to pull up." She said, "but weeding is very necessary, otherwise it will compete with rice to compete for nutrients and affect (rice) growth."

This is one morning more than a month ago, the sun was empty, and people couldn't open their eyes. Gong Xixi walked in the paddy field with a deep foot, and the sweat quickly wet his body, and the dark skin was difficult to hide the immatureness on his face.

It is hard to imagine that the 28 -year -old Anhui girl is the deputy commander of an ecological farm. At most, he manages more than 100 ecological rice fields and more than a hundred workers.

Background of life

Land, when Gong Xixi was very young, became the background of her life.

Before the age of 4, Gong Xixi lived with his grandparents in the countryside. The memory of her childhood constitutes her original impression of the world: in the clear river, small fish and shrimp swim; the wild flowers on the field, bees and butterflies fly; children are free and active in the whole village ...

Even if she went to the county with her parents later, Gong Xixi often traveled between urban and rural areas. She found that she "prefer the countryside, like land, and friendly villagers."

Gong Xixi "seems to have a local Chinese dream." As you grow older, the roots of your dreams are getting more and more firm. She did not hesitate to choose agriculture in the two important decisions of the college entrance examination volunteer and choosing work.

In 2012, Gong Xixi entered Huazhong Agricultural University to learn plant protection. Four years of college career passed quickly, and Gong Xixi still adhered to the first line of agriculture.

At the beginning, her parents did not understand Gong Xixi's choice and thought she was too ideal. Moreover, girls were "too hard" to do agriculture "too hard", "easy to dry black", "not easy to find objects."

However, Gong Xixi has his own persistence.

"Working in a natural environment, seeing changes in the year and four seasons can feel the connection of life and land." In Gong Xixi's eyes, this is more important than the so -called material and decent decentness.

Inopic contact with "natural farming"

Regardless of the dissuasion of his parents and relatives and friends, Gong Xixi chose agriculture as a career and walked into the field of "natural farming".

The so -called natural farming means that during the planting process, pesticides, fertilizers, and herbicides are not used, and natural ecological balances are used to balance diseases and insect pests.

"I have gained more than the bitterness and tiredness in the body." Gong Xixi tied into the depths of the mountains of Huangmei, Hubei. It was 3 years.

"The longer the agriculture, the less you know, the less you know." In the three years of the Huangmei base, Gong Xixi gradually opened a new world, everything was so fresh.

Far away from the hustle and bustle of the city, Gong Xixi sweated in the mountains. She breathed out fresh air, watched the rice spring in the spring of rice, harvested the winter hidden in autumn, knew different insects, watched the flowers blooming, and looked at the clouds to rain.

She also mastered the driving skills of motorcycles, tricycles, vans and large -scale rotary farming machines, and became a well -known "all -around female driver" in the village.

Gong Xixi opened an account on the video website to use his knowledge of science popularization agricultural knowledge. In front of the camera, she held rice and dumplings with both hands, telling the "cunning" survival strategy of dumplings, "telling you a dumplings that are daring spring."

In the first year of Huangmei, the suddenly appeared wild boar, which made the seedling planning plan chaos. Gong Xixi and his colleagues took turns to guard the night, to prevent the pigs, and to prevent snakes. The 25 -year -old summer spent in a tense overnight.

In 2020, Huangmei base encountered mountain floods. The flood flooded down the farmland, and some farmland near the river was covered by sand, and some of the entire field was washed away. After the flood, Gong Xixi and his colleagues re -raised the underwritten Tian Yan to clean up the severe water canal. This flood made Gong Xixi truly understand that agriculture rely on the sky to eat, and people should be in awe of nature and conform to nature.

With the efforts of Gong Xixi and colleagues, the land breathed smoother, and everything grew naturally.

In spring, the spinning machine was busy in Tanaka, followed by a group of egrets. They looked at the soft land and waited for the earthworms, yellow baicalensis, and loach that they had just turned out, so as to be fast. In the summer, aphids are on the field, next to the eggs of natural enemy ladybugs and grasshoppers. This is a small small ecological chain in farmland. In autumn, the rice ears are changed in golden yellow clothes, and some of them will become self -reserved seeds, preserve genes that adapt to the local climate and environment. After the cold winter in the warehouse, wait for the next year to enter this land.

"Ecological agriculture is retaining a fire species." Gong Xixi said, "Keep clean land, clean food, clean seeds."

Today, Gong Xixi took her fire and came to Chengde, Hebei.

In Dongfeng Village, Zhangsanying Town, Longhua County, Chengde City, Hebei Province, at 5.40 am, Gong Xixi rode a bicycle to shuttle in the rice fields. Along the way, the rice seedlings were riveting and growing up, the dragonfly spin steadily, and the wild duck suddenly fluttered from the field with wings. When you are lucky, you can also see the black crickets and heron of resting for food in the distance ...

The occasional black crickets in the field can always make Gong Xixi, who are not much words: "This is a national first -class protector, and often stays in our fields."

Dongfeng Village, where Gong Xixi lives, is located between Longtou Mountain and Mopan Mountain in Longhua County. Ten miles of scent of rice and flowers, the planting area of ​​rice is thousands of acres. The ecological rice fields managed by Gong Xixi are part of it.

From June to July is the weeding season of northern rice. After the agricultural season of farming, Gong Xixi's daily schedule became very fixed: supervising the hired grass, field patrol, and recorded field ecology. Regardless of the rain, she is always dangling in the field, and a field will go to a dozen times in the morning.

Perhaps, in the eyes of many young people, Gong Xixi's life is monotonous. But she is satisfied with such a life, because "the sky here is blue, the clouds are light, the sunset is beautiful, and the stars are unclear. The most important, and the clean land."

According to the data released by Qianyi Agriculture, about 5 to six hundred pounds of rice planted in rice planted by natural farming methods is half of the method of planting pesticide fertilizers. But Gong Xixi firmly believed that the direction to protect nature is right.

In Gong Xixi, the reason why the new farmers are "new" is because of the new agricultural concept. On the one hand, they are pursuing ecological and environmental protection, expecting all things to coexist in harmony, and do not seek development at the cost of destroying it. On the other hand, they respect farmers and regard "planting land" as a very meaningful job.

"The fire of the stars can be alarm. I hope that the concept of ecological agriculture can be more popular, and more and more people can join the ecological agriculture." Talking about the future, Gong Xixi's eyes flashed, "I hope that one day, I can be able to one day, I can be able to one day, I can be able to one day, I can be able to one day, I can be able to one day. Chinese brands that are ranging in the field of ecological agriculture. "(Host in this issue: Huang Zhen)
