After eating breakfast and cleaning up the housework, Zhou Aixiang came to the inner room Xi habitually, took Maza and sat on the big dustpan with petals, picked up the iron skewer with one hand, skillfully took a non-woven petal with the other, after the petal passed through the iron skewer, she pinched a small green plastic calyx, the calyx also passed through the iron skewer to cover the petals, and a silk flower "bloomed" in her hand, the whole process was only a few seconds.

Zhou Aixiang, 60 years old this year, is a villager in Bizhuang Village, Xinshengdian Town, Xiajin County, and at present, as long as she has free time, she will sit down to make silk flowers. "It's not complicated, it's not dirty or tiring, it's perfect for us! On November 29, Zhou Aixiang sat in a warm home, and while busy working, she introduced, "Now, the village has developed such a good project, so that everyone can work at home, the wind can't blow, the rain can't get wet, and they can still make money, which is really good." ”
Zhou Aixiang also said that in the past, there was no industry in the village, and most young people went out to work. Older villagers, especially women like her, can only farm at home, and have nothing to do in their spare time, and of course have no money to earn.

The change happened in 2021. At that time, Yang Jiayue, a young villager in Shanghai who worked in the financial industry, returned to the village to serve as the village party secretary. After many investigations, according to the actual situation in the village, he introduced the silk flower production project. "The parts of the flower are made, and what we have to do is to assemble the parts and sell them as flowers. Yang Jiayue said.
In the beginning, the village mainly made silk flowers for decoration. Later, with the change of customs in various places, the demand for sacrificial silk flowers increased greatly. After investigation and investigation, Yang Jiayue found that there are very few domestic manufacturers specializing in the production of sacrificial silk flowers. To this end, the village decided to focus on the development of the processing and production of silk flowers for sacrifices.

In order to standardize the development of the industry, the village specially registered a company and set up a Gongfu workshop. At the beginning, the village purchased semi-finished products made by the manufacturer; Later, according to the market demand, they produced their own design drawings and entrusted the manufacturer to process semi-finished raw materials according to the drawings. After the raw materials are purchased, each household can receive it at home for assembly and production, and the company pays the fee by piece. "I don't have a lot of time, and now I can earn more than 40 yuan a day, which is enough for my daily pocket expenses. Zhou Aixiang said, "Generally, people who grasp it tightly are not a problem to earn sixty or seventy yuan a day." ”
Due to the accurate positioning of the silk flower market in the village, the color varieties are constantly renovated to keep up with the demand, so the orders continue to increase. "The sales in 2022 will be more than 2.3 million yuan, and the sales so far this year have exceeded 6 million yuan. Yang Jiayue said. The rapid expansion of the market has also led to more employment, and there are currently more than 100 people engaged in silk flower production in the village.
Due to the continuous increase in the number of orders, the people of this village are no longer busy, and more than 200 elderly villagers in some surrounding villages have joined one after another. Like the villagers of Bizhuang Village, they have become "gardeners" and "busy people" who can earn money at home.
