The "eleventh" seven-day holiday is short and long! The short one is that the seven-day vacation is over, and the long one is something I never thought I would have spent such a long vacation!
On the afternoon of the 30th, I arrived home at two o'clock in the morning on October 1, said a few words to my parents, and was almost three o'clock in the afternoon of the break. It seemed that I was just about to fall asleep when my mother got up. Take out your mobile phone to look at the four o'clock, ask your mother why she got up so early, and her mother said to go to the field to help others peel corn, 140 to 150 yuan per acre.
The eight acres of corn in their own family have not been harvested at all, so they get up early and greedily in order to earn money to collect other people's families, either they don't understand their mothers, they can't understand, or they are a little distressed!
I joked that at the current price, let's finish collecting my own home first! The mother smiled and said that someone else was waiting for her, and let me sleep a little longer, and she went out.
Outside the window, it was still like night, and I actually fell asleep, maybe I was a little tired after a day in the car. When I was woken up by my father, I looked at my phone, at half past five in the morning.
Father had been in the yard early in the morning, tinkering to repair the car. See me get up and ask why I don't sleep more.
You say, how can I sleep with peace of mind!?
I asked my father, what are you going to do today? Father said to go to the field to break corn. There were leftovers in the pot, and after a few bites, I started the first day of my short and long vacation.
When I got to the cornfield, my sister was already working, and she took a day to help, and she didn't have to say anything.
My father sent me to the field, repaired the ground and left, and by the time he came to the field, half a day had passed.
At first, I didn't quite understand my father's statement that my mother was reluctant to break the corn in her own field and had no motivation to peel others. In recent days, I have been out at three or four o'clock every day and come back at seven or eight o'clock in the evening. Now that I'm standing in this cornfield, I can't tell what it's like!
Corn trees are sparse, and in some places they die one by one, and the sticks do not look like "sticks". This year is a year of heavy wind and rain, and those who die are either "cut off" by the wind or drowned by the rain. Most of the loss, suddenly understood the mother's unspeakable mood!
My father said that because he bought agricultural insurance, he lost some money on one acre of land, and the specific amount was not clear, and some people said that one acre of land was eighty yuan.
Relatively speaking, my family's corn is still good, and the corn kernels have a "spread" - treasure.' Everyone else's house is deflated except for the pleats, just like the face of an old lady in her nineties!
Because there is so much rain, large harvesters are useless. Therefore, the value of "artificial" is highlighted, large-scale harvesting in previous years an acre of land is 60 yuan, this year's labor cost is about 150 yuan, the mother can earn more than 200 yuan by getting up early and greedy. When I arrived home at seven o'clock in the evening, my mother proudly put 245.5 yuan on the dinner table. Looking at my mother's happy look, I didn't want to advise anymore, but silently resisted everything!
Before that, I was just a layman and cooked, but I had never been the main labor force in the family like this year!
On the first day of the holiday, the three of us broke seven acres of corn and pulled more than half of the family. It is not a request for credit, the fact is that more than half of these seven acres of corn are broken by me, because when my father loaded the car, he saw that there were fish that slipped through the net, so he said to see, "This is all broken by Dani, it is hard to have a big one, it was missed by her." "No matter how I defend it, it's invalid!"
The next day, at five o'clock, I ate breakfast, and my father and mother went out to pull corn, and it was rare that my mother had no work today, and pulled five carts to finish. There is an acre in the south, just broke a small car, the mother answered a phone, there is work to do and left, the father drove the three-wheeled motorcycle to the house to pull, I broke the sticks in the field, packed a few bags, did not see the father come back, answered a phone, let me go to carry the car, the father car broke the road, the car rutted and flew. Repair the car, one acre of land and two small cars, all the corn harvested.
After breaking the corn, it is pulling the corn, and pulling the corn is peeling the corn. The weather forecast in the next few days is light rain, to seize the harvest autumn, the village loudspeaker shouting non-stop!
So from the afternoon onwards, I entered a new stage of harvesting corn – peeling corn. Because there was a neighbor at the mouth of the hutong who did white things, my father went to "help", so he left me alone in the battle. Grandma in her nineties, a little bit of a trip out to ask for warmth, send an apple, send a drink, take a cookie, send a pear...
Peeling corn was not as fast as expected, plus I broke the corn when I broke the law, sprained my wrist, and my arm was sore and swollen. Early on the third day, looking at the thick wrist of the bowl, I asked my father to take me to the village clinic to see, and the doctor said that it was a contact allergy. I thought it was okay to be over-sensitive, mainly because the wrist sprain did not use force, but I did not expect that the allergy was slowly a little more serious. In short, the next two days were either in the wind or in the wind and rain.
When the corn was peeled, it was already the afternoon of the fifth day, and it was also the fifth day of the holiday. For these five days, I started at five o'clock in the morning and ended at about seven o'clock in the evening. I joked with my parents that I never thought that I, a person who lays hands and does odd jobs, will one day become the main laborer! A person who has never been on the battlefield actually has a time to sweep through the field. My sister said that the next few years should be, don't get excited, prove that you are still behind! I hastened to say that there was no need to prove it again, that my two thick wrists had witnessed and worked wonders! Next year, it is better to contract out the land. The parents insisted that they would plant a few more years.
Mother said that she has earned a small 1600 yuan in pieces, at present, corn is five cents to six cents and five pounds, and this year's losses have almost been made up. At the moment, two lines of tears were silently left in my heart!
In the evening, he and his sister took their mother out to dinner because their father had a toothache and could not go with them. No. 6, driving with his sister, took his father to a medical examination, because he often said that his stomach was uncomfortable.
Number seven, I was on my way home and the holiday was over!
For me, it was a special holiday, short like no vacation, long is tired of work when I can't do it, I want the vacation to end quickly! It's really over, and it's a bit reluctant! The car is galloping on the road, but the heart is still there!
