The countryside is so vast, must it be only for playing mahjong?
Not long ago, when I returned to my hometown, I found that several more mahjong parlors had opened in the village, and most of those playing mahjong were left-behind elderly people. The owner of the mahjong parlor said that the elderly have nothing much to do at home, so they come over to play mahjong and relax. Playing mahjong itself is a form of leisure; when fellow villagers gather together, as long as it is not gambling, there is nothing wrong with relaxing and building relationships at the same time. However, mahjong becoming the dominant or even the only leisure activity is not necessarily what the elderly want. Some elderly people have expressed their helplessness: they want to play table tennis to keep fit, but there is no equipment; the village also has a reading room, but the books on the shelves do not suit their taste and are covered in dust... "If not for mahjong, I really do not know what to do."

Land management rights should be returned to farmers

China's rural land system has become largely settled
Recently I returned to my hometown. My aging parents said the family's contracted land has already been given to a distant grandson to cultivate, at 500 yuan per mu per year. This amounts to collecting rent. As for the family's land, besides my parents' share, the share belonging to my married-out younger sister has also been kept, and back when I was studying, during the second round of land contracting, according to regulations I too enjoyed contracting rights, but later after I started working there happened to be a policy shift of "no increase for births, no decrease for deaths," so the contracted land was not adjusted, and thus our family's land is relatively more, several mu. There are already quite a few households like ours that cannot cultivate all their farmland and transfer it to relatives or neighbors to plant; since they are all acquaintances, no contract is signed, and the amount paid is not fixed, just roughly agreed. But market rates do exist, and currently the minimum is 600 yuan per mu (per year).

Guidance on field management techniques has become an urgent need for farmers

This not only increases production costs but also fails to achieve good control results. Since the beginning of autumn, the weather in Wuhu City has been continuously overcast and rainy, which is extremely conducive to various

Exchanging village officials across locations has many benefits, and these advantages are worth knowing about
Recently, when the author returned to his rural hometown, he inadvertently learned that the village's former Party branch secretary had been sent to a neighboring village to serve as Party branch secretary, while a village committee director from the neighboring village had come to our village to serve as Party branch secretary. According to the villagers, this is a measure of the county's recent implementation of a cross-village official posting mechanism.
