[Going to the grassroots in the Spring Festival] Low-income households have changed their houses, and they should warm their new homes during the Spring Festival.

　　"As in previous years, three daughters, each staying for two days."

　　"No one will go this year, just spend the New Year at home."

　　On January 8, Tiaohe Village, Chengji Town, Lianshui County, Jiangsu Province. Wang Mengxian and his wife Hong Guihua, an 80-year-old couple, are sitting in a small yard and planning how to spend the upcoming Spring Festival. "I lived in ‘ this year. Small villa ’ I want to change the way of Chinese New Year. " Wang Mengxian said.

　　"Come in and sit down!" Seeing the reporter’s visit, Wang Mengxian greeted him warmly at the door. Behind him is a small farm yard with white walls and tiles. As the first villager in Tiaohe Village to move into a new house, Wang Mengxian first tasted the sweetness of the renovation of rural houses.

　　The rectangular yard has more than 30 square meters. "I don’t want to move, we are sitting here in the sun; If you want to move, go to the big square and big stage in the village to watch the excitement. This life, who wanted it in the past! " Wang Mengxian took the reporter and visited room by room. "Three bedrooms, two big and one small, two big ones are equipped with air conditioning. My 80-square-meter house has no shared area. Many people who come to see it say that it is more spacious than the house of more than 100 square meters that they live in the city. "

　　Sausage is drying in the courtyard, LCD TV is hung on the living room wall, and the refrigerator is stuffed with dumplings, tofu, thousands of sheets and eggs. "This is a New Year gift from the government to our poor households, and we will spend the Spring Festival in our new home this year. At that time, when the TV is turned on and the air conditioner blows, nothing is lacking, and it is very comfortable. Why bother the younger generation! " Wang Mengxian said with a smile.

　　Didn’t you prepare pork for the Spring Festival? "That’s what I didn’t buy. Although we are low-income households, there is no shortage of food and drink. The government gives 600 yuan a monthly subsistence allowance, and her daughter and son-in-law don’t come empty-handed every time. What do you want to eat? It is very convenient to sneak into Chengji Street after riding a battery car for a few steps. "

　　In the past decades, Wang Mengxian and his wife have been living in a 50-square-meter mud brick house. Speaking of the old house, Hong Guihua frowned and waved his hand. "That can’t be mentioned. It’s too old. It leaks when it rains. Take a bucket and pick it up below. After the rain, the hall is mud. Moldy spots have climbed on tables, chairs and cabinets. "

　　For many years, Wang Mengxian and his wife have been living on their own 3 acres of land. "We used to grow rice, peanuts and corn, but now our health is not good." Four years ago, Wang Mengxian was diagnosed with rectal cancer, and finally borrowed money for surgery, and his wife was hospitalized for coronary heart disease. "At that time, it was a good thing that the house didn’t collapse and didn’t leak rain. I never thought about changing houses!"

　　"In 2018, the town will focus on building new houses for us, and 328 households in 8 production teams will sign 315 households a month. There are 80, 138 and 168 square meters of new houses. Those who have money choose large ones and those who have no money choose small ones. Or don’t, take the money and go to the city to buy it yourself. My old house is small, and I need to pay my own money to change it to 80 square meters. During that time, I was so worried that I couldn’t sleep at night, fearing that I wouldn’t get a house. Fortunately, the town knows my family’s situation, gives me 10,000 yuan, and decides the new house. "

　　What Wang Mengxian didn’t expect was that during the construction of the new house, he was elected as a representative of the masses to supervise the quality of housing construction. "I am happy to see my house start from the foundation, brick by brick."

　　Last summer, all 87 new houses in the first phase were completed. Black asphalt roads, bridges and water, all kinds of trees planted on both sides, as well as squares and stages, seem to enter the villa area with the style of Jiangnan water town. "My family was the first to get a house and the first to move into the community. I remember the time clearly, it is the second day of the sixth lunar month, and I remember it all my life. " Wang Mengxian said.

　　Considering the old couple’s age, the village raised money for their decoration. What was delivered to them was a new house with painted walls, installed water and electricity, and laid tiles. The three daughters have successively bought home appliances and furniture for them. Nowadays, the new home with three bedrooms, one living room, one kitchen and one bathroom is no different from that in the city. The yard is also decorated with flowers and plants, and osmanthus trees are planted at the door.

　　"The village has also given each family a small side dish. You can grow your own food and distribute it to everyone in the spring next year." Wang Mengxian said, "The original 3 mu of land has also been transferred, and the village will help me arrange public welfare posts."

　　Wang Mengxian’s life is good, and so are the villagers in Tiaohe Village, a village with weak economy. In addition to concentrated residential areas, Tiaohe Village has also built mushroom gardens, fruit and vegetable gardens, watermelon gardens and potato gardens to develop industries that enrich the people. The mushroom garden with an investment of only 6 million yuan and an area of 1,000 mu can increase the income of the village collective economy by more than 200,000 yuan every year. Huang Yong, secretary of the Party Committee of the town, told the reporter that "thick" family wealth and "straight" waist, and the economically weak villages in the province are rushing towards a well-off society.
