In the autumn, the red grass is as tall as a person, red and red, very beautiful. In that era of material lack, red grass also became a good thing, the production team organized the labor force in the team, went to the hillside to cut the red grass, after the red grass was cut, the accountant of the production team carried the red grass on the hillside, at that time, the red grass was divided according to people, how many pounds a person weighed, after weighing, the accountant found a stone, wrote the name of the adult on the stone, and waited for the adults to carry the red often home. After carrying the red grass to the home, it is generally dried with red grass, and when there is time, the red grass is woven into a long mat, the bunk bed, in the winter, it is very warm, in the summer, the children also carry it, in the shade of the shade, feel a little cool.
