"My mother taught others to farm on live broadcast, and she earned a higher salary than me".A girl's post on social networks aroused the interest of many netizens, and everyone followed the post, "My dad is a carpenter, can he also start a live broadcast?" "I think my dad can do the same, and he has raised cattle all his life. "My mother broadcast the big cherry live, and let me install a camera to watch it every day. ”
It is reported that the poster is a girl pony from Pizhou, Jiangsu. On the evening of February 29, when the Yangtze Evening News Purple Cow News reporter contacted her, Xiaoma said happily that her mother had grown garlic for decades and was indeed a garlic expert, but in fact, her mother didn't earn so much, but the old man found fun in the live broadcast. The reporter learned that Xiaoma's mother, Du Xiangqin, trained her three children to become college students by planting 7 acres of garlic, and now she is a well-known local "farmer know-how".
1 bought a mobile phone for my mother to chat, who knew that she was doing a live broadcast.
At less than 8 o'clock in the morning of March 1, Du Xiangqin went to the garlic field for live broadcast as usual. At 8:30, the reporter opened her live broadcast room and found that the number of ** people had exceeded 100. A netizen named "Expectation" asked, "Is it too late for 'Shi Fei' now?" Du Xiangqin didn't react for a while, and later another netizen reminded in the comments: "He's talking about fertilization." Du Xiangqin, who suddenly came to his senses, laughed.
In Du Xiangqin's live broadcast room, there are many such interesting things. She is 55 years old this year, lives in Pizhou, Jiangsu Province, the "hometown of garlic", and has been growing garlic herself for 30 years. Du Xiangqin did not finish the second grade of primary school, but now she has become a well-known local "farmer broadcaster".
Talking about live broadcast teaching people to farm, we have to start with a smartphone that Xiaoma bought for Du Xiangqin in 2021. Xiaoma told the Yangtze Evening News Purple Cow News reporter that she originally wanted to make her mother happy, so she spent 1,700 yuan to buy a smartphone, "My mother is very introverted, I taught her how to apply for an account, encouraged her to start a live broadcast, open her heart and make more friends." ”
At the beginning, Du Xiangqin just started a live broadcast on the short ** platform to chat with netizens, and Xiaoma would also go to her mother's live broadcast room to cheer up. "I thought she was chatting with others, but I didn't expect her to teach people how to farm. ”
In 2023, Du Xiangqin heard from the people around her that she could earn pocket money by bringing goods live, so she thought that her family had planted garlic on 7 acres of land, and she could introduce the pesticides and fertilizers used at home to garlic farmers, "When to plant garlic, when to fertilize, I will." I also know how to grow garlic, and I can be an anchor to tell the people. ”
In this way, she used a mobile phone to start a live broadcast to share her experience in planting garlic, which attracted a lot of attention. Every time she broadcasts live, she will explain to her brothers and sisters in the live broadcast room: "I really don't know how many words, especially the words with many strokes." If you call the wrong name, I hope you will forgive me. Fortunately, most of the netizens in the live broadcast room are older garlic farmers and don't care about these small details.
2 daughters helped sell garlic in junior high school, and now works as a "live broadcast assistant".
Du Xiangqin said that last year, there was a live broadcast with the highest number of people exceeding 2,700. When she saw so many people pouring into the live broadcast room, she was very excited: "I have never met so many people, and I was nervous for a long time and couldn't speak." ”
Du Xiangqin told the Yangtze Evening News Purple Cow News reporter: "Farming is three points and seven points in charge, I told my brothers and sisters in the live broadcast room, as long as it is managed well, garlic production will not be reduced, and we can sell it for more money." "In 2023, Du Xiangqin's garlic harvest will be bumper, and the seven acres of land will be sold for nearly 120,000 yuan, which is three or four thousand yuan more per mu than the neighbors.
Du Xiangqin still remembers that when her daughter was in junior high school, she would pedal a tricycle to help her sell garlic on the side of the highway, "At that time, garlic was two cents and five pounds, and many garlic farmers who hired people to collect garlic were lost, thanks to our three children to help collect garlic, some losses were reduced." ”
Although Xiaoma is currently working in Wuxi, he has become a little assistant in his mother's live broadcast room, and will help his mother reply to netizens' questions, "If I encounter my mother's highlight moment, I will also record the screen and help her generate ** releases." Every day after work, she would enter her mother's live broadcast room. Hearing that his mother's voice was hoarse, the pony would keep telling him, "Mom, it's not early, you have to rest early." ”
Although her daughter has been persuading, Du Xiangqin has no signs of stopping the broadcast. It turned out that she felt that there were many garlic farmers in the live broadcast room asking questions, "Many of them are older than me, since they asked me, there must be something they don't understand, I have to tell them." "The pony can't resist his mother, so he can only rest after his mother finishes the live broadcast.
3 8 years ago, her mother was diagnosed with cancer, and she gave up the insurance research.
Du Xiangqin's sleep is not good, and she often waits until 11 p.m. after the live broadcast to rest. Every time she sees her mother's hard work, the pony is both happy and sad. She told the Yangtze Evening News Purple Cow News reporter that her mother is a very strong rural woman, and the tuition and living expenses of the three siblings are earned by her mother planting garlic, "She also suffered from stomach cancer in 2016 because of overwork." ”
After learning that his mother had cancer, Pony's mind went blank, "I was a college student at the time, and I was very helpless. In order to provide for us to go to college, it was not easy for my mother, but she got this disease again. Pony said that at that time, in order to treat his mother's illness, he borrowed relatives and friends to let the whole family tide over the difficulties. In the two years after the operation, my mother did not do any physical work, and her family took her for regular check-ups.
The pony also often enlightens her mother: "It's a day for you to be happy, and it's also a day to be depressed, so why don't you choose to be happy?" In order to earn money as soon as possible and share her mother's pressure, Xiaoma gave up the opportunity to study in the first major, and chose to work directly after graduating from her bachelor's degree.
Xiaoma earned money after working, and accompanied his mother to Beijing, Shanghai, Shanxi, Fujian and other places, and visited Tiananmen Square, the Forbidden City, the Oriental Pearl, Wutai Mountain, Yungang Grottoes and other scenic spots. Du Xiangqin was very happy, "My daughter has taken me on planes, high-speed trains and subways, and I have seen all kinds of scenic spots. Talking about the reason for taking his mother to travel, Xiaoma told the Yangtze Evening News Purple Cow News reporter: "Actually, I am still very worried in my heart, what if it is ** one day?" What if she never gets a chance to watch it again? I took advantage of the money I had saved up and took her to see it as soon as possible. ”
4. Sow at least two hours a day, and want garlic farmers to sell more money.
Seeing her mother's current state, the pony is both happy and a little distressed. Du Xiangqin learned that as long as the live broadcast lasted more than two hours, the platform would have a traffic subsidy, so she insisted on live broadcasting for more than two hours every day. Recently, it has snowed heavily in Xuzhou, and she will also go live in the snow, shivering all over her body. Pony persuaded her mother: "Don't broadcast live, hurry home, it's too cold!" But Du Xiangqin just didn't listen, she kept standing in the ground, even if her hands were frozen, she didn't stop broadcasting. Because she feels that the traffic is coming, she must seize the opportunity.
In the past six months, Du Xiangqin has developed a habit of going to the garlic field for two hours every day, sometimes in the morning, sometimes in the afternoon, and at home in the evening. The reporter noticed that Du Xiangqin did not use a stand, but held the mobile phone in his hand to broadcast live. Her hands were frozen and swollen because of the cold. Talking about the reason for insisting on live broadcasting, she said that she suffered a lot when she planted garlic and didn't want other garlic farmers to take detours.
The reporter saw that Du Xiangqin currently has more than 3,700 fans on the short ** platform, with more than 40,000 likes. In her opinion, since she has such a good platform, she has to stick to it and share her accumulated farming experience with garlic farmers. She has already planned the next live broadcast plan, "As long as I know, I have no reservations, I just want the farmers' garlic to grow well, and when the garlic is high, the people can sell it for more money." ”
However, Pony wants his mother to insist on live streaming every day, but he is reluctant to let his mother do it. "There is more traffic in my mother's live broadcast room, she is very happy, and she can make a little more money. But I don't expect her to make much money, I'm worried that she's too tired and her body can't stand it, as long as she feels that she can be worthy. ”
