The Spring Festival has arrived, the weather is warmer, and the new immigration area of Lizhuang Town, Fengqiu County, on the bank of the Yellow River in northern Henan, is becoming more and more lively, with a large collection of New Year's goods, drama performances, and ...... crowds of people returning to their hometownsIn the noise one after another, the "fireworks" of the New Year of the Dragon rose all at once.
Although Wu Guihai, who was shuttling through the crowd, was over seventy years old, he was particularly energetic, and he also put out his own gourd painting on the large set to "join in the fun". This year is the fifth year that Wu Guihai's family has moved to Lizhuang New District, and he has long adapted to the life in the new area, forgetting his stubbornness against relocation and telling the joy of moving to a new home.

Historically, the Yellow River has been diverted several times, completing a fan-shaped swing of 250,000 square kilometers from north to south on the Huang-Huai-Hai Plain, and millions of people have been swept into the beach area, struggling with floods and winds for a hundred years. Wu Guihai's family is one of them.
In order to allow the people in the beach area to move out of the "water nest" and live a good life, Henan began to pilot the relocation of migrants in the Yellow River beach area in 2015. Of the 22 villages in Lizhuang Town, 18 are villages in Tan District, and 410,000 people.
I heard that I was going to relocate, graduated from middle school, served as a soldier, did business, and visited the big city "old top cow" Wu Guihai disagreed, one is the poor family is difficult to give up, in 40 years, the homestead covering an area of more than 7 points has built 10 rooms, raised 4 children, Wu Guihai and his wife Zhu Guangye planted flowers and grass in the yard, reluctant to leave. The second is not optimistic about the relocation itself, "It is unfair for the people in the village to eat a subsistence allowance, can the distribution of the benefits of the relocation of the whole village be fair?" ”。Wu Guihai is worried that the more he moves, the more chaotic he becomes, and the poorer he becomes.

The relocation team openly "evaluated the subsistence allowance and won trust", but he still felt that "whether it can be done or not, we have to continue to look down".
Wu Guihai picked out three "mistakes" in three months, and went back to the cadres of Bao Village to seek justice. The three mistakes were corrected and made up for the "old top cow" to be convinced: "I admit death and love to pick thorns, but the work of the task force is really nothing to say." ”
In this way, in the spring of 2019, Wu Guihai's family moved into Lizhuang New District, which covers an area of more than 6,000 acres and has more than 400 elevator rooms and supporting facilities. In the last Spring Festival spent in the old house, Wu Guihai wrote a Spring Festival couplet: Let's take a look first, the new building in the new district really likes it; Look again, the old house and old courtyard are a little reluctant. The horizontal batch is: It's time to move.
Due to the large number of children in the family, Wu Guihai chose a big house with five bedrooms and two living rooms facing north and south, "During the New Year's holidays, when the children come back, two or three tables of meals are placed in the living room, and the whole family is happy." Standing on the south-facing balcony of Wu Guihai's house, there are supermarkets, day care centers for the elderly, bathhouses opposite, hospitals and activity rooms for the elderly not far away, and young people can also go to work in garment factories and auto parts factories on the periphery of the new district.

The elderly have nothing to do to go to the activity room, play chess, play cards, and are more comfortable than in the beach area. The versatile Wu Guihai not only regained the elegance of writing poetry and painting when he was young, but also delved into gourd painting, and gradually became famous in the circle.
Wu Guihai, who is over seventy years old, is most afraid that the relocation will dilute the "heat" among the villagers, "I don't know each other upstairs and downstairs, and the neighbors don't inquire", no matter how good the building is, it is not popular, and the elderly are not adaptable. Fortunately, Wu Guihai not only met next to the villagers, but also met many people from other villages, and the "warmth" between the villagers made people feel very comfortable.
During this year's Spring Festival, Wu Guihai wrote down a lot of Spring Festival couplets, one of which was "neighbors help each other better than distant relatives, upstairs and downstairs salute each other like a family", and the horizontal criticism is "harmonious everyone".
