When the bad guy is reborn in 60s

Lin Qiuxia resumed her daily routine of taking her younger brother to school and doing housework after school. On weekends when she was not in class, she cut pig grass or went to the fields to catch snails.

For a long time after the rice was transplanted, I had to dig out the snails in the fields every day, because the seedlings were very fragile. Once the snails crawled to the roots and wrapped around them, they would break the seedlings.

The subsequent water filling and releasing water according to the water level are all done by experienced adults.

In the blink of an eye, it's autumn harvest time, and the rice in the fields is ripe and golden.

Layers of green and yellow colors spread along the crisscrossing field paths, like gorgeous rapeseed flowers, which is shocking.

The largest amount of food in the year depends on the autumn harvest, and the output is much greater than the summer harvest.

There is nothing more important than the autumn harvest at this time. The school also has a week off for farming, and the second brother also comes back from school to harvest rice together. This time is the busiest and most tiring time of the year, and it is also the time when many people get super When the work points are full.

Looking at the plump rice ears, everyone feels energetic no matter how tiring the work is.

Lin Qiuxia was arranged by the brigade to pick rice ears with a group of children.

Everyone is free to hold a tool, such as a backpack, dustpan, cloth bag or bucket.

Nowadays, mechanization is not widespread. They have never seen tractor harvesters in their village. They rely entirely on sickles to harvest. They hold the pole with their left hand and wave the sickle with their right hand to cut off a large handful and then place it on the ground.

After cutting a few more handfuls, circle them into a large handful with leaves and stand them upright in the ground.

When the rice harvesters are really tired, they will take turns to collect all the standing rice and put it in a U-shaped basket with ropes tied to both sides. After the U-shaped basket is filled, it is carried to the field near the shore.

There is a drying mat on the ground to prevent any more ears of rice from falling to the ground. The picked rice ears are stacked on top of the drying mat, looking like a small golden mountain from a distance.

Then the person who picks the rice ears goes back and uses a U-shaped basket to pick new ears of rice from the field.

This process can easily cause rice ears to fall to the ground. The total amount of fields for the entire production team cannot be ignored.

Children like them just wait for the adults to finish cutting a piece of land, and then they will search behind them to pick up rice. The children will jump into the field with a huff, and there will hardly be any missing ears of rice.The loss of food is guaranteed to the greatest extent.

This year, the weather has been wonderful, there are no severe droughts or floods, and there is a huge harvest visible to the naked eye. Although everyone is so busy that they are sweating, their faces are filled with the joy of the harvest.

I don’t know which child raised the head, but Lin Qiuxia also sang loudly along with everyone:

"The east is red, the sun is rising, China has Mao Zedong

He seeks happiness for the people. Whoops, he is the great savior of the people.

He seeks happiness for the people. Whoops, he is the great savior of the people.

Chairman Mao loved the people and was our leader."

Finally, the adults also sang loudly, and the busy working fields were filled with singing for a while.

Everyone sang red songs, and the more they worked, the more powerful they became. Liu Qiuxia thought of the scene of singing songs during military training in the past, and when she thought of the word "people's hearts are excited", she felt "faith" for the first time in her life.

His eyes were a little sour, and he couldn't tell if he was moved or something else. The feeling in his heart was indescribable, and he felt a sense of pride.

She truly felt that she was living in this era and was about to witness a better era.

After the children picked up the ears of rice, they also ran to the place where the ears of rice were placed. They arranged the ears of rice neatly before placing them on the drying mat. The neatness was to facilitate the work of removing the rice later.

It feels a bit like the assembly line of a factory in later generations. Everyone has a responsible process, but now everyone has a job in their hands. For example, if the rice pickers finish picking, they will rush to cut the rice together and race against time to harvest.

After they put it away, they went to pick up rice ears again.

Next to the drying mat are two foot-operated threshing machines.

It is said that life is much better now. In the past few thousand years, they still had to use the "house-beating bucket" to thresh rice. It was a large square wooden bucket. They could grab it with their hands, smash it, and hit the bucket, and the rice would fall. Being in a bucket is not only tiring but also inefficient.

Now the production team has two new foot-operated "threshing machines". Although they are driven entirely by human power, their efficiency is still greatly improved compared to the "threshing machines".

When threshing rice, you must step on the transmission pedal with your feet, grab the rice with your hands and stuff it into the rapidly rolling threshing machine to thresh the grains. The ears of rice will automatically thresh in the drum threshing trough and fall into the wooden box.

Then people put the rice in the wooden boxes into cotton and linen bags and put it on the carts on the shore next to it. The carts of the entire production team parked here in a row, and when the carts were full, they took the grain carts back to the production team. Park inside the library.

Now all manpower and material resources are concentrated on the fields to harvest, ensuring that all the food in the fields is harvested as soon as possible to avoid sudden rain later.

After the rush harvest is completed, arrangements will be made for the rice to be dried.

Everyone was so busy that they were really thirsty, so they peeled off the straw directly in the water channel in the field with their hands, and drank the water with their hands.There is no clean well water, let alone boiling water.

For food, I go out right after I finish eating in the morning. I take dry food with me and eat directly in the fields at noon. After eating, I take a rest and continue working.It's because every family is willing to eat an egg for lunch when they are busy with farming, and some families can still eat a few pieces of meat for dinner.

In this era when farming relies entirely on human labor, only after experiencing it personally and seeing it with my own eyes can I understand what the poem says:

"Who knows how hard it is to put every last piece of food on your plate?"

After a week of hard work, all the rice in the fields was finally collected and stacked in the grain depot.

At this time, everyone has shed a layer of skin and their skin has darkened a few degrees, and Lin Qiuxia is no exception.
