Two autumns a year, big autumn, wheat autumn.
Right! That's what we say locally.
When I was a child, I heard adults call the wheat harvest wheat autumn. I knew it was almost time to have white noodles to eat.
In elementary school, the textbooks talk about four seasons in a year, and the spring, summer, autumn and winter are obvious.
However, the summer harvest of wheat, why is it called wheat autumn?
Whatever it is, that's the business of the grown-ups. Mai Qiu harvested the wheat, can drink a bowl of noodle soup, beautiful, how good. Therefore, I always look forward to Mai Qiu early.
After I was older, although I didn't study it carefully, I also had a heart. Gradually, I realized a little bit of reason. Therefore, it is called Mai Qiu, crowned with the word autumn, very simple and simple, because of maturity and harvest.
Autumn represents fruit and also represents harvest.
The wheat is ripe, the wheat is harvested, the fruit is fruit.
People use this sense of gain in their days, saying that the summer harvest is wheat autumn.
Mai Qiu.
Realistic, proper, with local characteristics.
It is also the gratitude and contentment of one party.
Mai Qiu, the time is short, the life is urgent.
In the field, busy harvesting.
So busy, because the wheat is ripe.
The wheat is cut one by one, one by one.
Primitive and backward, tired Mai Qiu.
The slogan of that era was to grab the harvest and grab the seeds, but it was just a word of grabbing, which showed how much hard work.
Never forget, Mai Qiu, plucking the wheat, the blood bubbles on the hands.
The wheat is plucked so that it is reluctant to use it as a wheat root that can be used as firewood. There is also a local custom of weaving small objects for summer shade with wheat stalks, straw hats, grass mounds, futons, and large objects called Manuscript Jian (local sounds). The better the wheat, the more it has to be plucked by hand. A handful of impenetrable wheat, waist-deep wheat, bowed, leaned over, plunged into the airless wheat field, one hand to explore the bottom, the other hand to hold a little, so that the upper waist strength, bow good weight, a handful of wheat, a body sweat.
Young people who have just experienced Mai Qiu can afford a few blood bubbles before they can be considered to have experienced Mai Qiu.
Cutting wheat, so cutting, is a sparse wheat field, a large depression, and you can't see the ground at a glance.
When the wheat is short, it has to be bent deep. The croppers lived a wheat autumn, the calluses on their hands were thick, and the young man said that he was tired, and he was in pain and could not straighten his waist.
The ground, the fields, the crowds, the waist bends, the sound, the sighs, the many labors, how many hardships!
Mai Qiu, the field is busy.
So busy, it is midsummer, the rain is diligent.
Harvest in the field, grain in the field.
The wheat that was painstakingly planted and recovered by fatigue is the blood and sweat of people, and when they enter the field, how many times it takes to hand it before they can hand over the public grain and distribute it to the household.
The wheat is yellow, and the production team begins to "bar" the field. Raking flat, compacted wheat field, slip light. A production team has a field, a village has all production teams, and the wheat farms are mostly connected. Therefore, the wheat field of that era, an open field, how many garden houses, the wheat is ripe, the field is lively.
Most of the people working in the field are people of a few years old. The field work should be exquisite, people should be diligent, there is work in the eyes, and there is strength in the body.
Stalls, turning, crushing, starting, piling wheat, raising the field, feeding, into the warehouse, dividing grain, to the end is a wheat orange stack, there is also a bit of technical content in it.
Those who work in the field must be fine in that kind of work. Be diligent, put down the broom is a broom, can not rely on the command of people, their own eyes to see the life.
People in the field, stealing can not be lazy, all day long, feet do not stop, hands are not idle.
Yang field, is a high technical content of the work, the strength to use evenly, the action coordination is strong, that is, to have arm strength, but also to use ingenuity, wrist shake, wheat grains fly out of the shovel, an arc in the air up and down the moment with a sense of beauty. This is what the croppers call a line of yangchang.
The wheat fell, the grain took advantage of the wind, and on each side of the grain chaff there was only a small amount of wheat leftover mixed in the wheat grain. This requires the person who beats the material, with a bamboo broom in his hand, swinging left and right, leaving only a pile of gold. The movements that seem to be understated by the material maker are also full of skill and hard work.
In the past, Mai Qiu was most afraid of the rain on the old days. There was a rain, the rain was fine, catching up with the cloudy days, it was anxious to spoil the croppers.
Mai Qiu, who is in a hurry, although the time is short, the heart is tired, and the life is even more tired.
Remembering the past, knowing sweet.
Look at this dynasty and change your face.
The machine rumbles and the people cheer.
Mai Qiu, the day and night can pass.
At the end of May 2020
