乡村产业多点开花

### English Translation Title: Rural Industry Blossoms in Many Ways

News Summary:
In the heat of summer, thousands of mu of high‑quality watermelons from Gaozha Town, Litong District, Wuzhong City, Ningxia, came to market all at once. The expansive melon fields and fresh fruit became a highlight for shoppers. The town is promoting excellent varieties and green techniques such as bee pollination. Watermelon planting now covers more than 4,100 mu, with an expected harvest of over 17,000 tons and an annual value exceeding 50 million yuan. The enterprise has created jobs for more than 400 local residents and has become an important source of income for the area.

At the same time, the “vertical” model of raising livestock under fruit trees is proving successful. Chickens and geese raised beneath the orchards live in harmony with the trees, and the eco‑friendly meat products continue to sell well. The village has also added farm‑cooking experiences, fire‑cooked meals, and rural leisure tourism, linking planting, animal husbandry and tourism to broaden income streams for the village collective and individual families.

Thoughts and Inspiration:
Gaozha Town’s changes remind us that caring for the land, using resources wisely, and applying good methods—paired with hard work and mutual help—can turn “sleeping resources” into steady income. Party branches, cooperatives and farmers each do their part and cooperate; this is not only a practical economic choice but also a sign of harmonious community and shared stewardship.

These developments echo a simple biblical truth: diligent sowing and perseverance bring real harvest. May every effort on the soil be seen, encouraging us all to live with honesty and hard work, steadily enjoying a good and honest life.

Scripture: “He who tills his own ground will be satisfied with food; he who pursues empty things knows nothing.” Proverbs 12:11
