At that time, there were no small four-wheel tractors. In order to prevent cows and horses from eating soybeans, they will use wire to twist a "mouth cage" to cover their mouths.
The bullock cart walked slowly forward. Dad and his lover were holding large forks on both sides of the bullock cart, picking up the cut soybean branches and putting them in piles on the cart. The ox cart is not very tall, and no one needs to fiddle with it on the cart. I followed the car to pick up what fell off the car, put it back in the car or followed a few steps and put it on the pile of soybeans in front.
The bullock cart was walking forward, with the busy figure of my father and lover next to him.
was later changed to mechanical harvesting and small four-wheel transportation. The previous scene is difficult to reproduce. But that picture would appear before my eyes from time to time, and sometimes in my dreams.
There will not be anything more precious than food. "It’s all about food, so don’t panic."
In the past few years, I have been insisting on picking crops. This has nothing to do with increasing income and living a life. It is mainly a habit.
The black soil never disappoints us, the crops live a lifetime from spring to autumn, and the return of grains is what we can and should do.
