0 The autumn harvest season is now, and the corn cobs in the field are probably yellow.
When I was a child, my family was poor, and my father worked outside, and my mother had no help, so I was often shouted by my mother to do farm work in the fields. "Before and after Grain Rain , plant melons and add beans." When the weather starts to warm, the initial work of seedling cultivation begins.
What land is suitable for planting and which one is the best for planting, and then fertilize, water and sow. What are the fennel white seedlings, tomato seedlings, cucumber seedlings, eggplant, pepper seedlings, etc., plant them one by one, then water them, and cover them well. For fear that the sun will dry, each tree carries too much hard work, hope and careful care. As the vegetables grow and bear fruit day by day, the mother happily compared herself to the hardworking little white rabbit. Because there is a text in our elementary school called "The Story of Little White Rabbit and Little Gray Rabbit", the old goat collects cabbage in the field, and the Little White Rabbit and Little Gray Rabbit come to help. After receiving the cabbage, the old goat gave the little gray rabbit a truckload of cabbage, but the little white rabbit refused and asked the old goat for a pack of rapeseed . After a few days, the little gray rabbit asked the old goat for cabbage again. He happened to meet the little white rabbit carrying a load of cabbage to deliver it to the old goat. He was very surprised and asked where the little white rabbit came from. The little white rabbit said, "I grow it myself. Only the vegetables I grow can have endless vegetables."
Mother likes to grow beans in the corn field. According to her experience, beans do not affect the growth of corn, and can also use the corn poles to climb up, killing two birds with one stone. It is not only beans that like to climb up the corn stalk, but also morning glory of various colors. They go with the flow and bloom freely. When summer comes, the beans are ripe, and my mother will take us to pick them. I got into the cornfield, it was hot, tired, and stuffy. In summer, it was the time when corn was ears. The stamens on the ears fell on the top of the head, on the clothes, or any corner of the body. The arms that were brushed with corn leaves were sore and itchy, and the shoes were covered with mud. It was not until we returned with a full load that we came to an end. The hospitality mother always shares the fruits of her labor with everyone, but relatives and friends don’t know how many fresh vegetables she received.
When the autumn wind blows, the corn stalks shake off the yellow leaves and the corn reveals golden particles, everyone will go to the ground to lay the jade water. Our family is often laughed at by our neighbors for the elderly, weak, sick and disabled, their father is thin, their mother is a woman, and my sister and I are children. My mother said, just break the corn cob off, and you don’t have to worry about taking the leaves, and take them home and peel them slowly. Mooncakes, apples and pears are standard when taking Yuji. When the sun is hot and hot, find some mooncakes and fruits from your cloth pocket to satisfy your hunger. When it was approaching evening, smoke from the distance was rising and the sky gradually faded. We put piles of corn in our pockets, so our uncle rushed to drive the tractor over to help pull the yuji. At that time, almost every household had a small flat car, and it was all about pulling things from the field for transportation, but my family didn't. My family is a small iron flat car made by my father. My mother always refuses to use it and says that she hasn't pulled anything yet, but it's heavier than someone else's pulling things. Fortunately, with the help of my uncle, my family’s autumn harvest was successfully completed.
I may be born to be allergic to corn pollen. Every time I finish the yuji, when it is late at night, my skin exposed to the outside will become extremely itchy and scratch continuously. My mother always mutters me at this time, saying that it must be an excuse for not wanting to work. My father had no good idea, so he quickly said anxiously that his father had Scorpion wine. (Scorpion wine is a medicinal wine that my father soaked in white wine and used the method of poison to cure the disease). You should touch it quickly. In fact, Scorpion wine did not have much effect on scratching itch caused by allergies, but I still feel that fatherly love is like a mountain, which makes me warm.
When other people's children are scattering wildly in the wild, my sister and I usually peel the corn cob leaves in the yard.When I opened the corn cob, there were often chubby insects inside. At that time, my family raised chicks. Whenever my sister and I found the insects, they immediately called the chicks to come and eat the insects. They were called by me and then called by my sister. In this way, the chicks were very busy, and we were also amused by their appearance, so we still couldn't forget them. After peeling the coat, my mother asked us to pick out long and large corn cobs along the platform. The corn cobs were neatly built, yellow and full of harvest.
My mother is a strong woman. She requires the best and beautiful things in everything she does. There is more farm work in the countryside and less capable, so there is always endless work, so my sister and I never go out to play. I remember that during the long winter, my sister and I had to peel all the corn cobs. My sister often told me stories while working, such as Wu Song fighting tigers, Sanniang teaching children, etc., to pass the boring time.
My parents have passed away for many years, and I haven't had any experience of laying jade in many years. Now it's autumn harvest season again. The corn is ripe and it's golden and gratifying... (Author Jia Xiangping)
