Seventy -year -old Elderly Nuggets Nuggets

Resign from Yingri lotus and welcome the lotus root harvest. Nowadays, it is the season when the lotus root harvest is listed. The 210 acres of lotus root planting bases in Dong Ruan Ercun, Yushan Street, Huanghe, Pingyin County ushered in the harvest season.

"Enter the hot pot in summer and enter the ice cellar in winter". At 2 pm on August 19th, 70 -year -old Zhao Guangfa and the 62 -year -old Zheng Suolin's head was scorching the sun, wearing waterproof leather pants in the field of tadpoles. Zheng Suolin took a water gun in his hand and washed the mud on the roots of the ravioli in the mud pond. He skillfully "pulled out" a lot of lotus root out. Although the sweat was continuously leaked on his head, he smiled on his face. This is the 50th year of his work in digging. His hometown is Bai Yangdian, and he dug up for most of his life. On average, he was soaked in the water for 10 hours a day.

Not far away, Zhao Guangfa was put on the water on the water and put the fresh lotus root that had just been pulled out into the basket. After washing, a fat, thick, pure white lotus root appeared in front of the eyes, filled with five baskets of nearly one ton of lotus root. Later, Zhao Guangfa pulled the boat carrying the basket to the shore.

In the past, this land was mainly used to plant traditional crops such as corn and wheat. The economic benefits were relatively low. By circulating the land, large planting households were introduced, and the yellow river rice and fruits were developed. Not only did the village collective income, but also drove the employment of surrounding villagers, but also became a beautiful landscape along the Yellow River style.
