Baoding Dingxing: After the 80s, the husband and wife sold 3 houses and returned to the village to be a "farmer"

September 23 is the fifth Chinese farmer's harvest festival. Li Meng, the young man of Baoding Dingxing, finally ushered in the first "harvest year" to return home to start a business.

In 2016, the rural girl Li Meng gave up a stable business in a foreign country, and returned to Tianhou Village, Dingxing County, Dingxing County, and opened up 500 acres of farmers with her husband.

In a few years, the farm's continuous investment almost spent savings. The couple had to sell the car and sold 3 houses in the city ...

The annual income of a big city is a loss to the family behind

Li Meng, born in Dingxing Rural, began to work at the age of 19. When struggling outside the year, her hometown became her dream hometown.

In 2009, Li Meng followed her husband to Shijiazhuang to do home appliance business. On -site repair and development of the market ... The couple ride electric vehicles and shuttled in the streets of the city. They are busy and enriched. Soon, they had their own office and set up their own team business better every day. In just a few years, Li Meng's husband and wife represented two electrical brands. More and more shopping malls they represented by their agents, their income was considerable. They bought the building and changed the car.

But the better the business, the more and less the number of times go home. The child was taken care of by the in -laws in his hometown. As a mother, she created a generous material condition for her children, but she was very pitiful to her companionship.

"Mom, I don't want to let you go, when will I come back next time?" Every time I leave home, the child's tears and reluctant eyes make Li Mengxin break, and the thought of going to home is becoming stronger.

Group building played "new business opportunities" to return home as professional farmers

In 2016, Li Meng, who had worked hard for 10 years, finally fulfilled his dream of returning home.

Once, Li Meng took the team to pick up the garden in the suburbs to build a group. In the chat with the gardener, he accidentally discovered the business opportunities of agricultural tourism and tourism. Since that day, Li Meng's heart has laid a seed in his heart. This idea made her feel closer to her hometown in the dream.

In the next days, as long as there is time, the couple will go to various places to inspect tree species, understand the market, consult experts ...

In 2016, the sudden change of the family made Li Meng's husband and wife have to put the plan to return home to start a business in advance.

"In that year, my father was hospitalized with brain bleeding, and the children needed to take care of it. We had to go home." Li Meng said.

After returning home for many times, they finally chose a modern and high -efficiency agricultural manor that focuses on cherry pickers and integrates tourism, farming, and educational projects.

To do agriculture, it is necessary to continue to invest in the early stage, and it is difficult to see results in the short term. At the beginning, the couple intended to take care of Shijiazhuang's business, at least to maintain the funds of the farm. "Later, I found that I couldn't care about it. To do agriculture, they must be down -to -earth and personally. Business, sold the house in Shijiazhuang, returned to his loved ones, and devoted himself to the construction of the farm with his husband.

Divided into the mountains, everything must be done from zero. "Agriculture seems simple, in fact, there are many learning. We have paid a lot of" tuition "for this." Li Meng said.

The first is to choose seedlings. Seed seedlings are like dismantling the blind box. It takes a few years to wait to reveal the answer. In 2016, they bought a large number of "beautiful early" saplings. This variety is rarely grown in the local area and is widely welcomed by the market. After more than three years of cultivation, when they were about to see the results, they knew it was fooled! The seedlings that were purchased were not "beautiful early"!

When a large number of funds invested in, Li Meng wanted to see the return quickly. So she spent a lot of money to buy 100 mature saplings, and wanted to shorten the fruit hanging time. "It turns out that it must not take shortcuts to do agriculture." Li Meng said with a mocking. The soil quality soon occurred. The 100 sapling left only 60 % in the end, and the speed of the fruit was the same as the original tree seedlings.

Technical difficulties did not knock them down. A weather disaster made the couple almost completely give up the road of agriculture.

In 2021, when the first batch of cherry seedlings ushered in a bumper harvest, the workers accidentally found that the color of the flower was wrong when the workers were artificially pollinated. The couple invited experts overnight.

After diagnosis, the temperature of the previous winter was too low, and the seedlings were damaged, and 200 acres of cherry trees were almost destroyed. "At that time, Lao Zhang's hair was a lot white, and he felt desperate." Recalling the scene at that time, Li Meng was still a little excited. "I encouraged him. After so many years of hard work, I saw the results. Persevere, I will sell the house again. "Li Menghou," Since returning to start a business, my car has been replaced from the BMW 5 Series to 1 series, and the house has been sold 3 sets ... "

Zhang Mengyan is paving brick roads

The "old Zhang" in Li Meng's mouth is her husband Zhang Mengyan. Lao Zhang has introverted personality, is silent, and he can study hard. Today, Lao Zhang is the "technical daemon" of the farm. In order to realize scientific planting and refined management, the couple spent a lot of money to come to experts to teach planting knowledge, and then summarize their experience in practice. In the living area of ​​the farm, there is a cherry tree, which is with the poplars around the surrounding poplar. Planting method of local climate environment. Mobile phones have become "new farm tools", live broadcast become "new farmers"

After overcome the technical difficulties. Opening the sales of agricultural products has become the key to the development of the farm industry. At present, in addition to 200 acres of cherries in Li Meng's agricultural garden, it is planted with fruit trees such as butter, winter peaches, plums, grapes, mulberries, and 500 acres of farms.

At the beginning, Li Meng used WeChat to sell agricultural products with limited sales scope. At the end of 2020, with the rise of Douyin, she also played a short video shooting, but at first there was no plan, but she just took some daily life.

Li Meng shoots video material in the ground

In June 2021, the yellow skin watermelon of the farm matured. Seeing that there was no sales, Li Meng was anxious. Trying the mentality of trying to start the first live broadcast on the short video platform. "At that time, my fans were only more than 1,000.

Li Meng who tasted the sweetness of the live broadcast, was out of control since then.

Since then, a series of farms such as land pouring, weeding, and fertilization have become Li Meng's shooting material. The research platform preferences and improved the content of the shooting. Li Meng slowly explored and learned the rules of the platform. For a year, Li Meng's account increased more than 40,000, becoming a small and famous "net celebrity".

Now the fields of the farm, the tripod, the hoe, and the weeding machine are placed side by side, becoming Li Meng's "new farm tool".

"It is also necessary to keep up with the times. Now the sales method of live broadcast and cargo provides a good sales for our farmers." Li Meng is very satisfied with the current "agricultural anchor" identity.

Because I "sprinkle the rain", I always want to "support the umbrella" for others

After walking around and eating the bitterness of agriculture, Li Meng can deeply understand the difficulty of farmers.

On November 6, 2021, Brother Xu, the neighboring village, sought help with Li Meng. Brother Xu's parents was 80 years old, and his brother suffered from mental illness. He took medicine because of femoral head necrosis. The cabbage is mature this year, but I can't find a sales. I want Li Meng to help sell it. Li Meng opened the public welfare live broadcast for Brother Xu. With the help of netizens, Brother Xu's cabbage was snapped up in half a day.

A few days later, a heavy snowfall came, bringing the lettuce farmers in Wangzhuang Village, Avenue. Li Meng rushed to check the damage to the lettuce at night. The next day, she started the live broadcast in the lettuce field. In two days, more than 100 acres of lettuce were sold to recover huge losses for the villagers.

Speaking of public welfare to help farmers, Li Meng's emotion: Farmers are really not easy. I can help them feel very meaningful even if they reduce a little loss.

In addition, popular science knowledge is also an important material shared by Li Meng's short video. "The family looked at it. The American white moth found in our orchard yesterday has been effective after spraying high -efficiency huge cymbal ester. Everyone must find it in time to use the medicine in time ..." Li Meng saw the mulberry tree when he led the reporter to see the orchard The American white moth, which has been connected to the Internet, immediately picked up the mobile phone and recorded a video upload to the short video platform to remind the peers to find early to deal with it early. Li Meng said, hoping that the same entrepreneurial peers like her can take less detours.

Li Meng talked with workers on the farm

This year, Li Meng's Cherry Garden officially ushered in the first harvest year, attracting more than 4,000 families to pick it through live broadcast. The farm of the river in Mengxiang also slowly entered the track, and the industry chain of production, supply, and sales was gradually improved. "Now the biggest difficulty is the lack of funds. In addition to fixed investment, there are many places that need to be improved in the farm. In the future, I also want to create four seasons picking and develop boutique rural tourism." Li Meng said, " Only after development and growing, we can help more folks to develop together. "

According to Han Changshun, the director of the agricultural and rural bureau of Dingxing County, there are 256 farmers' professional cooperatives and 309 family farms in the county, and nearly a thousand new types of professional farmers are cultivated. At the same time, the county encouraged and supported young people like Li Meng to go home to start a business, and has applied for the farm of the river -level demonstration family farm on the river -level farm.

Now, Li Meng's hometown is no longer a dream hometown, but that she can let her sweat down and help others with good heart.
