Dehua: The rain is sunny, and the heart "rescue" the ginger

Morning Post (Correspondent Li Hongtu Lai Yunping reporter Chen Xiaofen text/picture) Some time ago, due to continuous heavy rainfall, the soil holes in many places in Tangtou Township, Dehua County, Quanzhou collapsed, causing nearly 120,000 kilograms of ginger to be buried. Recently, the weather has improved. The party committee and government of Tangtou Township immediately organized village cadres to lead the villagers to "rescue" the buried ginger. Many party members and young volunteers heard the news and joined the "rescue" operation of ginger.

A few days ago, the reporter saw that after the excavator was transported by most of the soil, the cadres and volunteers of the township and villages assisted the villagers to start artificial cleaning and screening ginger. It is understood that on the first day, one excavator, two tractors joined the cleaning operation, and cleaned the soil of more than 20 cars in just three hours.

The villager Lai Kaiwei said that the storage hole of their house was buried by more than 10,000 pounds of ginger. The ginger collected last year was stored in a place near the entrance. Some of them have been cleared. The soil moisture content is not so high. You must first clear the soil above the storage hole to ensure that no second collapse occurs, and then dig deeper ginger.

Lai Jiabao, deputy director of Caochan Village, said that due to the long period of soil burial and the scouring of rainwater, many ginger has been black. If it is not dug out as soon as possible, it may rot in the cave. The village cadres will help the merchants who acquire ginger and help the villagers ginger Sales to minimize farmers' losses.

After struggling in Lianri, Tangtou Township has "rescued" nearly 10,000 pounds of ginger, and has helped the villagers contact the buyer to complete the sale. Subsequent Tangtou Township Party Committee and Government will increase manpower, material and financial investment, strive to complete the "rescue" of ginger in the shortest time, and minimize the loss of villagers through the cooperation of groups.
