During this time, the weather is good, and the Chinese New Year is approaching, and the pigs and cattle raised are almost snapped up! On the morning of January 28, Luo Kangjun said happily while cleaning up the pig house.
45-year-old Luo Kangjun is a well-known expert in planting and breeding in Yangjiafang Village, Wharf Pu Town, Li County. When he was young, Luo Kangjun suffered from rickets in children due to illness and formed turtle breasts, but he always firmly believed that "I was born to be useful". As long as he sees something, no matter what difficulties he faces, he can always overcome all difficulties and go all out.
In 2011, Luo Kangjun was introduced to his wife with congenital intellectual disability, and he only got married at the age of 32. In 2012, the healthy birth of the eldest daughter brought a lot of joy to this suffering family. "The birth of my daughter gives me hope, which not only means that the family has another mouth, but also a heavy responsibility. Luo Kangjun was both happy and worried, and he could only work hard, taking time to do odd jobs in the neighborhood while working as a farmer at home, and trying to take on the responsibilities of his father and husband.
In 2013, the two village committees took into account the actual situation of Luo Kangjun's family and included it in the sequence of poor households in the file.
In order to help Luo Kangjun get rich as soon as possible, the two committees of Yangjiafang Village, the village-based work team and the person in charge of helping him came to the door many times to encourage him to get rid of poverty and become rich with his own hands. "Now that the policy is good and you are willing to endure hardships, we believe that you will be able to overcome the difficulties. If you have good ideas and ideas, we will support you. Just rush forward boldly, we'll take care of the queen!" The encouragement and commitment of the cadres of the two village committees, the village-based work team and the person responsible for helping Luo Kangjun moved Luo Kangjun and made him realize that if he wants to change the current situation of life, he must be self-reliant and rely on his own efforts to usher in a new life.
Luo Kangjun does not lack the spirit of hardship and hard work, nor does he lack the desire to get rich, and his biggest shortcoming is technology and market. After analyzing the crux of his problem, Luo Kangjun's paired assistance person took the initiative to connect with the Yuanli Organic Tea Farmers Professional Cooperative, and formulated an industrial poverty alleviation plan for Luo Kangjun's actual situation - first, help him develop a tea planting area of 5 acres, and join the tea cooperative, and the cooperative will help it process and sell on behalf of the cooperative to ensure tea income; Secondly, the two village committees organized Luo Kangjun to participate in tea skills training and learning for free many times to improve planting technology; At the same time, in the development of Luo Kangjun's tea planting industry, cooperatives for free for their cultivated land, free distribution of tea seedlings and fertilizers, in the first three years of tea orchard to give 500 yuan per mu of ration subsidies, and signed a guaranteed purchase agreement with it, similar products ** than the market price is generally 3-5 yuan higher.

Through these assistance measures, the concerns of Luo Kangjun about the development of the industry have been completely eliminated. Since 2017, Luo Kangjun's tea industry has achieved economic benefits ranging from 3,000 to 5,000 yuan per mu per year. Luo Kangjun's experience of getting rich through industry has driven the enthusiasm of the villagers in Yangjiafang Village to develop the industry, and further promoted the cooperatives to become bigger and stronger. At present, the cooperative has driven many people in the surrounding areas to work in the tea base, transferred nearly 10 rural surplus laborers, and increased family income.
While the tea industry was booming, Luo Kangjun had a new idea: to develop the aquaculture industry. "Okay, we strongly support it! The cadres of the two village committees said loudly that they not only provided him with a breeding cow and a sow for free, but also actively connected with the higher-level animal husbandry departments, invited breeding experts to come to his door to provide systematic breeding training, and provided epidemic prevention and control services.

Thanks to the hard work of Luo Kangjun and his parents, Luo Kangjun's family now breeds an average of about 6 beef cattle (4 can be slaughtered) and 8 pigs (4 for each size) every year. "Through several years of hard work, our family situation has changed greatly, and the family income has changed from more than 4,000 yuan a year to more than 100,000 yuan now. Luo Kangjun grinned.
From poverty to prosperity, there is not only one step. Luo Kangjun said: "Hard work is my magic weapon to get rid of poverty and become rich. If you are not industrious, no matter how good the policy is, it is useless, ** it is already very good to help us get to this point, and I will rely on myself to make life better and better in the future. ”
Last year, in order to facilitate transportation, Luo Kangjun also used his spare time to take a driver's license and buy a second-hand truck, which was convenient for himself and at the same time ran around the transportation. Relying on his familiarity with the surrounding environment, Luo Kangjun also developed the business of selling beef cattle in the surrounding markets. Every year, just selling beef can increase income by nearly 20,000 yuan.
When talking about his road to poverty alleviation and prosperity, Luo Kangjun said with a smile: "Thanks to the party's good policies, we can have a good life now." Next, he plans to expand the scale of farming and breeding, pass on the technology to other villagers, and drive more people to work hard and become rich.
