September 4, in the cultural square of Longzhuang Village, Jucheng Town, Pingding County, several elderly people chatted and played chess under the shade of a tree. There are pavilions, flower beds, and fitness trails on the square surrounded by green trees. In the distance, stretches of photovoltaic panels are very dazzling under the sunlight. "In the past few years, the environment in the village has become better and better, and many industries have been introduced.

Longzhuang Village is located in the north of Pingding County. The total area of the village is about 9.8 square kilometers, and the cultivated land area is 1845 mu. In recent years, Longzhuang Village has taken advantage of the fact that most of the land in the village is sandy and rich in selenium, and has taken advantage of the development opportunity of the Fengxing Sweet Potato Planting Professional Cooperative in Bangou Village to actively guide villagers to plant sweet potatoes. This year, the whole village planted 400 mu of sweet potatoes, with a yield of 1,500 kg per mu, which effectively increased the villagers' income. The village also actively encourages villagers to start their own businesses. Villager Tao Shangmin founded a pig farm with an annual output of 3,000 fattening pigs, and villager Liu Naiyu built a quail farm.
While stabilizing agricultural development, the "two committees" of the village branch of Longzhuang Village are actively introducing projects suitable for local development. "The village has introduced and built a photovoltaic power generation project with a total installed capacity of 50 megawatts by using barren hills and slopes.

The cadres of the "two committees" of the village branch mobilized the people to demolish and clean up all the ruined walls and "heaps and eight messes" in the streets and alleys. Longzhuang Village built 3 squares in the concentrated residence of the villagers and installed fitness equipment, so that the villagers can exercise and entertain nearby, which enriches the lives of the people. The village built the auditorium into a cultural activity center, built a new era civilization practice station, and built a new farmer activity center with a library, conference room, and cultural exhibition hall.

The smelly dry toilet has been changed into a sanitary toilet, and the excrement truck regularly cleans up the excrement Garbage is cleared every day, and the streets are cleaned,” said Yin Huiqin, a villager. Since last year, Longzhuang Village has actively promoted the toilet revolution, transforming dry toilets into harmless sanitary toilets. More than 100 of the more than 300 dry toilets in the village have been renovated, and it is planned to complete all the renovations by the end of this year. The village is also actively exploring the establishment of a long-term mechanism for the management and maintenance of rural toilets, providing services such as toilet maintenance, breakdown repairs, and excrement collection and transportation for villagers, and has newly built a pollution-free disposal site for large-scale three-format excrement. The village built garbage pools, placed garbage bins in the main streets, and organized an environmental sanitation cleaning team to clean up the streets in the area every day. "The environment in the village has improved, so we can't lag behind. Every morning, we clean up our yard and the streets in front of the yard." Villager Liu Shuyun said.
"Strengthening people's livelihood security can improve people's sense of happiness." Liu Mingwu, secretary of the village party branch, said. In recent years, Longzhuang Village has contributed funds to subsidize medical insurance for villagers, provide old-age subsidies to the elderly, and distribute daily necessities to villagers during the Spring Festival, temple fairs and Double Ninth Festival. In addition, mobile, telecommunications, Netcom, and radio and television networks cover the whole village. The village encourages villagers to use the Internet and subsidizes broadband usage fees.
