Xuguang Xingfu Village, Yiyang, Jiangxi, where every family lives in a bungalow and receives a salary, the scenery is picturesque and few people know about it.

I like rural travel and came to a remote village in Xuguang Township, Yiyang, Jiangxi. There was a winding road with green and yellow rice fields on both sides, exuding the fragrance of rice, telling the story of a good year. The peaks beside the fields stand proudly and have great personality. Several foreign-style houses are surrounded by mountain peaks in the back and rice fields in front, forming a picture of rural mountain residence, which is very eye-catching. This is a village in Mabaishan Forest Farm, Xuguang Township. 54 of the 56 households in the village receive wages but have fields to cultivate, so they belong to a happy village.

1. Every village belongs to a forest farm, with deep mountains and forests.

Xingfu Village belongs to a forest farm. Why do villagers belong to forest farms? The locals told me that this is the Baima Mountain Forest Farm, which is the forestry branch of the Xuguang Reclamation Farm in Yiyang County. It has three natural villages under its jurisdiction, including Zhu Xiejia, Taijia, and Xiaoqishan. In these three small villages, 97% of the farmers work in forest farms, protecting the mountains and their country. What the mountains give people as gifts are dense forests and natural forest farms.

When Mabaishan Forest Farm was established in 1992, villagers from these three villages became forest farm employees. Each household had as few as one person and as many as three people working in the forest farm, and they were state-owned agricultural reclamation employees. They clear up wasteland, plant trees and cultivate forests, earn monthly income, and feel full of happiness. The village belongs to the forest farm, and the farm forest is the village; the home is in the forest farm, and the forest farm is the home.

Surrounding the village are mountain forests, with green moso bamboo, straight fir trees, and many unknown trees. These lush mountain forests are the result of the joint efforts of generations of villagers and forestry workers. , while bringing economic benefits, it also maintains green ecological resources.

2. Every family is an employee, with wages and fields

Yiyang Baimashan Forest Farm is a small forest farm. The forest farm area is not large, with only more than 7,000 acres, including 334 acres of cultivated land. The mountain farm covers an area of ??more than 5,700 acres. There are 56 households in the three small villages of the forest farm, 54 of which are forest farm employees. Every family works in the forest farm and is paid a monthly salary and has labor insurance.

The villagers in the three small villages of Xiejia Village, Taijia Village and Xiaoqishan are all urban residents, but there are only two households of farmers in the real sense. These two households did not come back from other places and lost their opportunities. In that era, Baima Mountain was like "Prince Charming", making people admire and yearn for it. I work in a forest farm and farm after get off work. I have both salary income and fields to cultivate. Compared with farmers in other places, my life is as sweet as honey.

Master Tong, a 63-year-old from Taijia Village, entered the forest farm at the age of 18 and retired at the age of 60. He belongs to the "second generation of reclamation". His father is also an employee of Xuguang Reclamation Farm and is an immigrant from Zhejiang. So why does Master Tong live in Taijia Village? The village is home but not the state. In the late 1960s, due to the water conservancy construction of the Xin'an River and Fuchun River reservoirs in Zhejiang, 54,900 Zhejiang immigrants were resettled in counties under the jurisdiction of Shangrao, Jiangxi. There were many from Geng to Yiyang, and there was an immigrant village in Zhangwan, Xuguang Township. Today's famous scenic spot, Qiandao Lake in Zhejiang, is where Master Tong's ancestors lived.

Master Tong’s father moved to Jiangxi from Zhejiang and settled in Mabaishan Taojia Village, Xuguang Township, Yiyang County, Shangrao. He entered the Yiyang Xuguang Reclamation Farm and became a state-owned farm employee, receiving wages and benefits. , then marry and have children. After the son came of age, he inherited his father's business and became the "second generation of Ken". Baima Mountain, with its broad mind, accepts and tolerates foreigners. Like other immigrants, he thrived and lived happily on this land, treating the foreign land as his hometown and integrating into this landscape.

After Master Tong retired, he and his wife took care of their four grandchildren and planted 10 acres of regenerated rice. What is regeneration rice? Master Tong said that after the first harvest, the rice piles are left so that they can germinate and grow ears again before harvesting again. In the first season, the yield is more than 1,000 kilograms per mu. In the second season, depending on the weather conditions, the yield is 300-500 kilograms. According to the climate here, the large temperature difference between morning and evening, and the soil conditions, the forest farm asked agricultural technicians to plant under the guidance of the village. More than 200 acres were planted in the village, which increased the yield.

On the drying field, golden rice and abundant harvest fruits. Master Tong wore a straw hat and used a rake to dry himself back and forth, turning himself into a bronze color.

Plowing, planting, harvesting, drying, etc., every step requires hard work. Sweat drips from the soil, every grain of it is hard! Cherish our hard-earned food.

Although Master Tong has retired, he has the hard-working tenacity of farmers and the down-to-earth spirit of Zhejiang people.

3. Every household lives in a bungalow, and Danxia Village has great scenery.

Walking in Xuguang Baima Mountain Xingfu Village, I saw the houses in the village. Every household is a bungalow, built under the mountains. , and the peaks here belong to the Danxia landform, which are both independent and connected, forming an interesting contrast to each other.

Xiongjia Village in Baima Mountain is 19 kilometers away from Yiyang Guifeng 5A Scenic Area. Guifeng, like its neighbor Longhu Mountain, is a component of the geological park and the world natural heritage "Chinese Danxia", while Baima Mountain is Guifeng is an extension of the mountain, so the boulders on the peak are very similar to the Danxia landform of Guifeng.

On the stone behind Taijia Village, there is a love heart on the top of the mountain. The trees in the mountains and forests seem to stretch out countless hands to support the love. Looking from afar, golden rice fields, white bungalows, green mountains and loving stone peaks form a wonderful pastoral landscape painting, such as the landscape of Guilin, for people to appreciate. I really admire the uncanny craftsmanship of nature.

The peak opposite Love Peak is like a giant turtle, crawling forward. Although the speed is slightly slower, as long as you have perseverance, you will eventually reach your destination. The villagers' bungalows are built against the mountains and close to the turtles. Do the people living here live long lives?

Not far from the Divine Turtle, there is a huge stone pillar rising from the field. It stands proudly and full of masculinity. Is this named "Yang Yuan Stone" or "Son of the Earth"? The "Mother of the Earth" in Longhu Mountain is famous for its lifelike shape. The "sons of the earth" here are hidden in remote villages and are rarely known to anyone.

The mountain peaks in the village are of different shapes and have their own characteristics. The local villagers use figurative language to name "Chicken Heart Stone", "Mao'er Mountain", "Zhutou Mountain", "Man's Stone", etc., which are easy to understand. For example, the villagers here are simple and simple.

4. Villagers talk about the village and the forest farm is a good leader

A local villager said that living here is straight to the point and the air is good. Retirement at the forest farm will give you a monthly pension of more than 2,300 yuan, and you can farm the fields again. , raising chickens and ducks, life is very comfortable. If I were asked to live in a city, I would really not be used to it because there would be no place to grow vegetables and I would have no time to live.

Now the rural environment is getting better and better. Last year, Secretary Wang Maoyun of the Baimashan Forestry Farm installed street lights in three of our villages. There are lights at the entrance and end of the village. Go out for a walk at night and follow the city. It's the same, it's bright everywhere, how nice it is.

The village is under the management of the forest farm. The staff of the forest farm, including the leaders, are very responsible. If anything happens, they will help the villagers in a timely manner. Some time ago, two elderly people in the village had difficulty moving, one was 90 years old and the other was 83 years old. Secretary Wang drove to the door of their home to pick them up, helped the elderly people into the car, and sent them to Yiyang County People's Hospital. After the injection, he accompanied the elderly people. Send it back. All villagers in the village have been vaccinated. Young Secretary Wang (born in the 1990s) is very diligent and a good person.

During the epidemic last year, Secretary Wang lived and ate at the forest farm. Together with other staff, they worked on a household basis to deliver food and daily necessities to us. It was really hard work. We see it in our eyes and remember it in our hearts, and sincerely thank them for their efforts.

When paying the new rural pension insurance premium, the forest farm staff notified us first, and also called the villagers working in other places. Some elderly villagers couldn't use WeChat, so the forest farm staff helped us advance the payment. This is already very difficult. Besides, the salary at the forestry farm is not high, only 2,000 yuan a month.

The villagers have a scale in their hearts and have an objective understanding and evaluation of the managers.

Walk around the Xingfu Village in Mabaishan, Xuguang Township, chat with the villagers, learn about the local customs, culture and history, and feel the simplicity and friendliness, joy and happiness of the villagers.
