Wheat spits out ears of wheat, and the heads of the ears of wheat grow roughly the same height. Even the cuckoo will join in the fun when there is a harvest scene. "Cuckoo, cuckoo, cut wheat and transplant rice."
Dongyi people worship birds, so they named the place where they lived for generations as "Bo Gu (Bugu)". Some experts have confirmed that Bo Gu is boxing now. The purpose of saying this is not to show off how much I know, but to say that wheat harvesting has been going on in Qilu for at least 4 thousand years. Of course, the heat and bitterness of harvesting wheat followed, which lasted for more than 40 centuries, and the sense of history was quite heavy.
As the saying goes, wheat is cooked in a day. In May of the lunar calendar, the dry and hot southwest wind blew for a day, and the wheat that was still green and yellow at noon seemed to be dried. "The wind blows a thousand waves of wheat ears", which is the poet's feeling, and the mood of farmers at this time is more complicated. In the face of the upcoming wheat harvest season, with the joy of harvest, it seems that there is still some imperceptible tension and fear about the hard wheat harvest.
The harvested wheat has "three fears": fear of wind, fear of rain and fear of hail. Once these three things strike at the same time, wheat will definitely fall off, resulting in a large area of production reduction or even no production. But if it doesn't rain, autumn crops such as millet and corn that have been planted will die because of drought. No matter how hard it rains, no matter how long it rains, we must complain. If you want to satisfy the farmers, it is best to have a light breeze and drizzle underground for a while, and the clouds will open at once, which is very difficult for God.
It's no use blaming God. At present, the most important thing is the "pressure field"-the grinding field. Find an open and flat land, water it thoroughly with a few spoonfuls of river water, sprinkle a layer of wheat bran, and roll it repeatedly with wheels (in Lizhou) until it is flat and smooth. In the next half month, we will compete with wheat in this yard.
Be fully prepared to cut wheat. The sickle should be sharpened "quickly" (sharply), with at least two, to prevent the sickle in the middle from turning around and delaying the road. The safest way is to bring a magic stone. If the sickle is not fast, you can grind or re-wedge the fallen sickle head at any time. Then bring straw rope to tie the wheat. When binding wheat, the straw rope should be soaked with water to avoid breaking. In addition, bring a straw hat, enough water and dry food, and eat in the field at noon to save time.
For the wheat harvest, the deepest memories are low back pain, thirst and itching.
Let's talk about back pain first. Wheat grows waist-deep, but it needs to be bent down to cut. The soil in central Shandong is fertile, and the staple food is wheat and flour rice. Farmers are willing to fertilize and water and serve attentively. So wheat grows thick and thick, and often a sickle can't cut through it.
You have to cut it one by one and put it one by one, so you need to keep bending over and straighten your waist. After a long time, this waist can't stand it. I don't want to get up, I don't want to get up.
An experienced veteran introduces experience, that is, don't get up, cut to the end and rest. As the saying goes, you can't sing a sermon, let alone cut it all at once. Even if you can't get up after cutting for three or five meters, your waist will hurt. Take a break when you are tired, but cutting wheat in the production team is different, because the team is very strict about scoring and catching up with the schedule. The so-called "grabbing seeds" and "Sanqiu is not as busy as summer" refer to this period of time. The production team will adopt the method of "pulling children" when cutting wheat.
The captain will take the lead himself, or find a capable fault, and everyone has to keep up. Captain or crop stubble is as high, not blind and not leaking, really fast and clean. If you want to catch up with their rhythm, you have to work hard, and you have no strength to stand up straight, gasp or drink water. You have three or five meters left, and he has finished cutting, sitting on the ground and smoking! You finally finished this trip, and you want to catch your breath in the wild. He has saved his strength and started brushing his teeth again. As a result, the gap is getting bigger and bigger, and the decline is getting more and more urgent. This is called "pulling the child".
That's easy to say. There's not much left. Some workers are so poor that they soon fall behind, and the captain begins to scold and scold. Hot, tired, and bear, people who are backward are depressed and can't help but lose their temper and refute a few words. Quarrels can often be heard in the wheat fields. There is a joke that Lao Tzu and his son are "in a hurry", and as a result, his son is so tired that he shouts back pain.
I was so disdainful that I turned around and said contemptuously, "Where did you get your waist, little friend?" ! "The son then asked," If it's not called waist, what is it called? " Lao tze also don't lift, gave a sentence "when? "After all, the old man is an old man. Although he has good endurance, his memory is obviously poor. I have a sickle in my waist, but I'm looking everywhere. " Hey, where did I leave my sickle? The son saw it, but told his father, "What time is it?" "So he went to the middle of the wheat field to find it, but of course he couldn't find it. After a busy day, my son told him not to wear it on his waist. Father was very angry. "Why do you sway (cheat) me when it is clearly on your waist? "The son asked," didn't you say you didn't call your waist and call a room! " "
