Before the dawn dawned, the vast fields were still shrouded in silence. At 8 o'clock, in Nudui Village, on the south bank of the Nianchu River in Gyantse County, Shigatse City, the lights of a Tibetan-style building have been turned on, and Puqiong's family has already dressed up for the festival to welcome another "harvest" day.
Today is the dividend meeting in the village, it will be very lively, you are really at the right time! While talking and laughing, Pu Qiong invited the reporter into the house. In Gyantse at the beginning of February, the cold was still blowing, but the cow dung burning in the stove of Puqiong's house was accompanied by a little spark, which made the house warm.
As soon as I sat down, a bowl of mellow butter tea was handed to my hand, and snacks such as beef jerky, cheese, walnuts, and his wife Basang fried the necessary "kasai" noodles for the New Year were placed on the Tibetan table.

Dividends before the Chinese New Year every year are the practice of the Nudui Village Cooperative since its establishment. In July 2014, Nudui Village Nianchu Yongfa Agricultural Machinery Farmers Professional Cooperative was established, and the village is also famous for its high-quality high-quality highland barley seed selection and coating sales, agricultural product processing and agricultural mechanization, the village collective economic income continues to increase, and the income of the masses is increasing year by year.
At 11 o'clock, the dividend meeting officially began. Accompanied by the melodious Guozhuang dance music, the villager representatives of the 13 villager groups dressed up and danced one after another, and the scene was better than the New Year. As a representative of the five groups, Pu Qiong held high the colorful flags, smiled and walked slowly into the field.
At this time, the distribution materials such as rice, flour, grain and oil around the venue have already been full, and the blue electric tricycles are neatly arranged. "Ten bags of rice, 10 bags of flour, two boxes of canned food, a large box of milk powder and sugar, and four thermos of different sizes customized by the cooperative, there are so many things that you can't transport without a tricycle. The villagers said with a smile.
These are 'standard', and we will also increase the quantity of rice and noodles and other materials according to the situation. "In 2022, the total income of the cooperative will be 5.9 million yuan, of which the net income will be 950,000 yuan; Last year's income was 6.8 million yuan, the net income was 1.08 million yuan, and today's dividend is 620,000 yuan. ”

Pu Qiong, 64, worked as a rural teacher in his youth and retired to work as a farmer at home. It is said that it is farming, but in fact, there are fewer and fewer things that can be done by manpower. "My family of 22 acres of land, planting, ploughing, harvesting are all completed by machinery, with the popularization of agricultural machinery, the improvement of seeds, the update of technology, last year just sold seeds to earn more than 24,000 yuan, at the end of the year there are dividends, it is really a year old two harvests! ”
In 2023, nearly 700,000 catties of highland barley seeds will be harvested in Nudui Village alone, and the sales revenue of improved varieties will reach 2.1 million yuan.
Pu Qiong said that her daughter and son-in-law went out to work, and the family had a total income of about 170,000 yuan last year, including pensions, various subsidies, sales income from improved varieties and subsidies for the promotion of improved seeds, plus livestock breeding and sales.
After receiving the dividends, Puqiong loaded the materials onto the electric tricycle with the help of the villagers. The reporter noticed that a small car and a small loader were also parked in the courtyard of his house.
The Nudui Village History Museum records the history of the village's changes - in 1981, Zajihu purchased the first agricultural tractor; In 1983, Paka and Jiangwahu purchased the first domestically produced Jiefang brand truck; In 2005, Nudui Village became a demonstration village of agricultural mechanization project in the first autonomous region; In 2021, Nudui Village was rated as the second batch of National Rural Governance Demonstration Rural ......
The development of the village is inseparable from the policies of the party and the state. Jian Shen said that the cooperative currently has 22 large agricultural machinery and equipment such as deep cultivators, seeders, and harvesters, providing one-stop mechanized services for farming, planting and harvesting for the whole village, and every household also has small agricultural machinery.
