In Jiyi farmers' market, Dongchuan District, Kunming, there is a 2-meter-long stall filled with all kinds of fresh vegetables. Many customers went straight over to say hello to the stall owner and pick up their favorite vegetables to weigh and pay.
The stall owner Li Xingquan is a villager of the bajiaodi villager group in Lizigou village, Bigu street, Dongchuan District. He has lived in the old houses with earth washed walls and slate houses for several generations. In recent years, he and his wife set up this stall, which not only won customers, but also achieved sustained and stable income increase and consolidated the results of poverty alleviation.
In 2018, with the support of the poverty alleviation policy, the bajiaodi villagers' group relocated to the xiweiga (phase II) relocation site of Bigu street and lived in spacious and bright high-rise buildings. Li Xingquan's 94 year old mother said that now the house is good, the environmental sanitation is good, and the food is many times better than before. She feels that she has also been reborn and is in a very happy mood.
“ Good days are made. As a party member, we can't rely on the corner to bask in the sun and wait for the government to send a well-off society& rdquo; Li Xingquan said that selling vegetables is going out early and returning late. It's very hard, but no matter how hard and tired you are, you should stick to it. As long as you are willing to pay, you will certainly gain. He also taught his children to stand on their own and strive for a better future with their own hands.
“ Two days ago, businessmen from Beijing, Hainan, Guizhou and other places called again and asked & lsquo; Flowering potato & rsquo; The situation& rdquo; Li Xingquan said that before & ldquo; Flowering potato & rdquo; It can only be used as rations, but now it has become the & ldquo; Golden pimple & rdquo;, Even sold to Laos, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore and other places.
Happiness comes from struggle. Liang zubo, leader of bajiaodi villagers' group, said that after the villagers moved, some went out to work, some worked in public welfare posts, some sold vegetables and did business like Li Xingquan, some continued to grow vegetables, and some contracted projects led the villagers to work together. Although they did different things, they had more confidence and motivation（ Reporter Cha Zhifu)
