In summer, the sun was like fire, and the golden wheat was roasted dry and oily, gasping for heat, and it was a little bit. The tense and busy Mai Qiu arrived as scheduled, and the harvest day was both sweet and pleasant, but also exciting.
The popularization of science and technology has turned the benefit of farmers into a fact, and the peasants have been completely liberated from the labor intensity of the past by cutting shoulders and pulling hard work.
In the shade of the trees, a young woman wearing a sun hat and a pink ice silk dress was talking, "It's so comfortable to harvest wheat now." No longer in a hurry like fire, scythes flying, people pulling the field to dry, overwork, both laborious and heart-wrenching, what a "bitter" word! Nowadays, all of them have been mechanized harvesting, beaten into wheat grains and sent to the grain points by special vehicles, and people have directly gone to the pounds to count the money. My 3 acres of wheat sold for more than 5,000 yuan, and this year's wheat yield is high, with a yield of more than 600 kilograms per mu. The young woman said that she did not forget to drink a few cold drinks to cool off the heat, and from time to time she took a hood and fanned the wind a few times. Looking elegant and leisurely, nourishing and nourishing, it does not look like it is busy in Mai Qiu at all, but rather like a travel style to make a report. A middle-aged woman next to you joked, "You live in the city all day, you have become a citizen and come to join the bustle of Mai Qiu, don't accidentally stain your skirt, should you come to help your mother-in-law' help, right?" Your young people have caught up with the good times now, Mai Qiu no longer relies on wind, wind, fire and fire to cut people, just sit on the ground to confirm the boundaries of the land, whose harvester is satisfied with the harvest will use whose machine to harvest, the popularization of agricultural mechanization makes our farmers raise their eyebrows, and easily spend Mai Qiu." Looking at the villagers who are talking and laughing in mai qiu at the moment, and Xiao Xiao is free to fight and chat, my thoughts are surging and I recall the bits and pieces of the busy mai qiu in the 1980s.
At that time, the household contract responsibility system had just been implemented, and every family was assigned to the responsibility field, and everyone had a fire in their hearts, eager to solve the problem of food and clothing with hard work, in exchange for a good life of red tongtong, and live a happy life of beauty and nourishment. Wheat harvesting mainly depends on human labor, and it is ten days and a half months in a busy time. Each rod labor must have a sickle, and it is sharpened quickly, the sickles fly and play triumphant songs, and the wheat is pulled by people. Every household must have a row of cars, which is the main means of transporting wheat. As soon as dawn came, the villagers took their scythes and went to harvest the wheat. In the endless waves of wheat, the laborers with hunched backs and bent over a sickle and a wheat line sweat, forming a beautiful picture of Mai Qiu's unique industriousness and prosperity. Hands numb, legs sore, waist pain, no one quit, everyone still gritted their teeth and stood up to continue to fight at the forefront, looking at the rows of wheat behind them neatly and orderly, quite a sense of achievement, fatigue suddenly disappeared. Rub your eyes that are itched by sweat, shake a handful of sweat to start over, and taste the fragrance of labor. When I cut wheat, I always fell at the end, no matter how hard I tried to catch up, I couldn't catch up with my wife and brother-in-law who were moving forward, they all laughed at me for not being the material for farming, and I was sloppy in writing articles. After cutting the wheat is the first battle, followed by the use of row cars to bundle all the wheat with stalks, a cart to pull to the pre-built wheat field, piled into a hill of wheat piles, from a distance like a yurt, become a beautiful scenery of vinegar summer, and the basket sky and blue waves shine together. The wheat in the field needs to be dried every day, and it must be covered with plastic sheets on rainy days. At that time, the wheat threshing machine was not affordable for everyone, and my family did not have a machine, so I needed to wait patiently for the machine to be free before it was the turn to beat the wheat threshing. After a busy day, when I got home, my body bones were like scattered, I didn't listen to my own call at all, and I wanted to sleep. Although it is very tired and bitter, but there are dreams hidden in the heart, labor to get rich makes people full of strength, after all, it is to work for themselves, work more, create happiness in labor, forge happiness can not be expressed in words. At that time, there was almost no agricultural machinery in the countryside, and the plough rakes were turned over by livestock and shovels. Labor intensity is just that. No one shouted bitterly and sighed tiredly, just wanted to make life sweet as honey, play more wheat in the heart, and wheat autumn rushed like fire.
There was a crackling sound, "What are you doing, it's time to collect your wheat." "I settled my nerves and returned to reality from my memories, and I saw that a brother in the Ben family had woken me up. I quickly gave the machine a finger to clear the boundary, more than 2 acres of wheat was harvested in the blink of an eye, turning into fragrant wheat grains, compared with the busy work at that time, it was really a world of difference, not the same. I quickly got on the transport vehicle to the grain point to sell the wheat grains, directly counted the cash to get the grain money in hand, this year's wheat harvest is good, an acre of land can sell more than 1400 yuan, in the evening the whole family went to a famous hot pot shop to pick up a meal, after eating, wipe a mouthful of oil stains on the mouth, so happy, celebrate the wonderful end of the wheat autumn. ”
With the gradual implementation of the rural revitalization policy and the acceleration of the pace, the farmers' days will become more and more sweet, the wheat autumn will become more and more comfortable, and the power of science and technology will be more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and blossom and bear fruit.
