in the early morning of December 26, 2012, the rising sun had not yet dispersed the biting cold. The fields outside the village were still covered with white snow and the cold wind was blowing fast. Stepping on frost everywhere, Liu Dongmei, 45, came to his vegetable shed and began his day's work.
Liu Dongmei, who was born in 1967, was a village of Xingjia village, Dong Jia town, Ji'nan city district. In 2000, she and her husband, Xing De Jin, took the lead in running 3 winter warm vegetable sheds in the village, but now it has been 13 years. There are forty or fifty vegetable farmers in the village like them.
without any protective device, Liu Dongmei crawled up to two or three meters high, bent down, and with her steady and powerful hands, pulled a straw covered in the shed to the ceiling.
1 meters wide, 9 meters long grass tarpaulin, pulling up and down only using a rope. Almost every day, she repeats such monotonous movements hundreds of times. Liu Dongmei's unparalleled patience in such monotonous work.
the straw mattress in three greenhouses at one time is 9:30. When it was too late to take a breath, Liu Dongmei ran down to a big shed in Lunan, where there were three vegetable sheds in her home. Fortunately, the automatic curling machine was installed, the button was pressed, and the straw covered in the shed was rolled up to the ceiling.
Liu Dongmei smiled and rubbed the sweat beads on her forehead with her hands. In her face, there were hardships in life and more expectations for the future.
finished the straw mat, and the outdoor work is coming to an end. When he came to the greenhouse, Liu Dongmei put his thick coat aside and began to split up the eggplant in the greenhouse. .quot; if the extra branches are not pinched off, the eggplant seedlings will not grow high and the yield of eggplant will not go up. .quot; Liu Dongmei said.
.Quot; in the eyes of vegetable farmers, these seedlings are their own children. .quot, a technician who came to see the growth of eggplant growth in the shed, told reporters that before a crop of vegetables went on the market, at least more than 10 big programs should be experienced: applying organic fertilizer, pine soil, ridging, planting seedlings, sealing film and so on, and trying to control temperature, humidity, ventilation, and do not endure the work.
Master Su checked several thermometers in the shed and shook their heads. He told reporters that because of the heavy snow in the previous period, the temperature in the shed was not high, not only the ventilation time was shorter than before, but the vegetables in the shed had almost stopped growing. Eggplant is not long, it is really worried that vegetable farmers can not make money without production.
.Quot; it's not good when the temperature is high! .quot; Liu Dongmei said that the temperature is high and vegetables grow fast, and the price of vegetables will drop if they go public.
.Quot; vegetable prices are not up to where the price of vegetables will fall. .quot; Liu Dongmei said that many vegetable farmers, like her, hope that the higher temperatures will grow a little faster, and that they will be able to get a good price if the temperature is low.
talking about the investment of these greenhouses, Liu Dongmei reckoned,.Quot; the three shed was built more than two years ago, and the investment of a shed was about 120 thousand yuan. .quot; because of the one-time investment, it took almost three or four years to earn that money. Liu Dongmei said with a smile that their family is now.Quot; the slave.Quot.
3 p.m., Liu Dongmei began to cover the greenhouse with straw mats, but this morning it was more tired than the morning. Three old shed, each shed has two layers of grass cover. After finishing the work, Liu Dongmei had to climb down from the shed and arrange every straw mat. After finishing it, he climbed up the shed and put another layer of straw mattress down. Sometimes the grass tarpaulin stops in the middle of the road. Liu Dongmei also wants to climb to the center of the shed lightly and lightly, so that the reporter below the shed pinches the sweat. Climbing up and down several times, Liu Dongmei picked up the white hot air between his hair. Although she was very busy, she was meticulous.
.Quot; vegetables know Thanksgiving, if you treat them well, they will not pit you. .quot; Liu Dongmei said.
