In early April 1969, just over the tomb-sweeping day, a production team is busy, I in a production team, since after the Spring Festival, has experienced more than three months, has learned to plow, shovel Tian Kan, Tian Kan pick dung, field, mix of seed
Now as spring busy season, I just learned to mix of seed, in the heart of momentum could show off to other knowledge, captain that come your way again, he arranged for me today, to the four fields to a starting point of millet and other members, (is the person standing in the paddy field, in the paddy field surface according to the requirements of the nest spacing and row spacing, direct sowing rice) I nodded agreed.
Before a few days because the old farmers together with seed, the old farmer man is good, for I am also very enthusiastic, also very willing to teach me, the words of his old man's house is so little, speak with me almost like a telegram of concise, no more than a punctuation. These days can hold me up, to work in the big field, to say and laugh and not feel tired.
To four fields, separate far away I can see, the first few days and the old farmer named Wang Fuxuan, together with those of seed, stove has been everyone back to the four bucket tanabe, many members are put in mixing plant ash and pig seed into CuoJi, standing in the big field, facing the Tian Kan, one hand tightly against the bamboo CuoJi of seed on the left side of the waist, his right hand in the CuoJi seed from left to right, to quickly into the fields, bit by bit at a time grasp 7 ~ 10 star seed mixing plant ash and pig. At the edge of each row, seven holes in the edge, three or four lines back, and repeat the action.
Seed mixing plant ash and pig, in a pinch is formed on the surface of the soil in paddy field, a handful of small black point, in the paddy field on the surface is flat vertically lined up neatly, from a distance, the scenery is spectacular and beautiful. I almost looked at it. A member of the neighborhood handed me a pan, and I picked it up and learned what other members of my community looked like. I put this in a half-pan of straw and pig manure, and held it in my left hand to keep it close to the left side. The key is not to let it fall, the key is not to let it fall, the right hand from the dustpan to the grain from left to right, a little bit quickly scattered to the field.
I kept thinking, I must remember that I can only catch up to 7 to 10 corn seeds at a time to mix straw and pig manure. But every time I catch it, I can't wait for the number of the grain I catch every time I catch it, and I can't keep up with the number of my hands. In order to catch up with the speed, there is less grain in the hand. Or quantity and speed, the right to arrange and not neat, points out the effect is always points and others are different, needless to say, to criticize others, is to look at odds, it would be too ugly. Your hands and feet are in a mess, and you are particularly nervous. After a while, I found that I was left behind, and I couldn't help it. I had to retire to tankan and watch for a while to see what others had done. Then learn to see the grain of others.
But looking at it, after a while, I still have to experience it myself. There was no way, I had to jump off the paddy field again, first to find an inconspicuous field corner, to do the practice alone in the corner corner. The first two days, a farmer named wang fuxuan, who was mixed with rice, appeared on the field near me.
The CuoJi of seed on his left hand on her waist, Tian Kan stood not far from me, also jumped into the same piece of paddy field with me, took a few steps forward, smiling to stand beside me, to I nodded, not to speak. Go back to the place of the valley.
I saw him now at this time, seemed to understand what, all the actions, intentional slowly, although he didn't say anything, but I already feel that he must be in the show I do coach, I followed behind him, I learned to his appearance, a recruit a type of imitate his action, to follow his every move, to learn the fact. Because I, after all, is a young man, not long after, the accuracy of hand also had, also brought the sow, some millet progress faster than he did, I lit millet behind to the back, in a short time there are 1 meter distance.
The old farmer nodded to me, still not talking, but I also found. The old farmer was out of the field just now, so I stepped up his pace as he was. It didn't take long for me to finish the corn in the field with the old farmer, and then, back from the paddy field, he almost retired at the same time.
I follow the Tian Kan, went to a water streamed down the gaps and took the water in the field, with both hands and rinse the black mud stick on the leg, around next to a few loose Tian Kan road weeds, a bottom to sit down and turned to see their point of millet, just couldn't help laughing out loud, who says I can't, this is not a point to also very neat? This morning, it's been half of the time, I finally see my a little achievement, slightly, with a bit of a sense of accomplishment, the heart was a happy, could not help but hum songs.
It seems that no matter what you do, you must learn, be patient, not afraid of hardship, and don't be afraid of trouble. Be confident in what you haven't done, and build a belief in your thoughts. Be sure to learn it, to conquer it, and not to yield to it in your mind. Never retreat before you can. If you get back on your feet in advance, you'll never learn it. Isn't that the point of the valley today?
I was still sitting there alone and reveling in the fruits of my labor. Don't know when, the captain suddenly stood behind me, looked at me appreciate just point of millet, waving a hand never point the burning sun cured tobacco leaf, opposite to the paddy field Tian Kan members shouted: "just now are you talking, which a few small stone point not to millet, come and have a look at it now, you see no see come out, which is a small stone?"
At this moment a few members rushed over, and a man looked at it and immediately raised the question: "did he order it?"
Wang Fuxuan at this time of the old man stood up, picked up an empty CuoJi, in this man's a pat on the back, not high not low echo replied: "now you don't say so much, are you doing today, I'm afraid I still don't have to little rock to do better, don't say you are farmers, small stone is just down to the educated youth, don't know if you have the courage, dare and two than the small stone?"
The man looked at the smiling face of wang fuxuan and opened his mouth and said nothing. He came up to me and patted me on the shoulder. He said, "boy. Well done."
At this moment, the captain stood on a field, and he threw away the leaf of his cigarette and shouted to me, "little stone, this time you will not hide from the side, let's do it together."
The commune members drew me among them, and in a large field, with a long snakehead, was the formation of a long snakehead, with rows and rows of white shirts, which stood out in the fields. Everybody's movements are basically the same. A hand holds the winnowing of the corn, and the winnowing of the grain, from the left to the right, from left to right, in the right hand. So coordinating the action of uniform reminded me of a lot of literature and art stage, reflect the rural field work of dance moves, there are a lot of acting, come from rural labor life, rural labor is the source of art... .
In point of millet few days, I have been repeatedly practice with an action, a hand tightly against the whisk broom of seed on the left side of the waist, right hand the seed from left to right, from the dustpan to quickly bit by bit in the field. With the smooth completion of planting tasks in the field, the sowing mission of the entire production team of more than 180 mu of paddy fields was finally completed.
During this time in the valley, every family in the production team was strictly adhering to the rules of the team. Every family's chicken and duck goose is kept under strict supervision, and it is absolutely forbidden to allow any family to make the chickens and ducks of their family to go to the paddy fields that have just been planted in the team. These chickens and geese, once in this time run to the newly planted paddy fields, must eat the seeds. That's a big mess.
During this time, the captain gave me a special assignment, and during this time, if you find a duck in the field, you can grab it and kill it. You're going to have to give you a job. And the more I eat, the more I have to remember.
Every day I looked at the endless fields of water, and watched the fields of water seeding in the fields, looking at the black valleys, and the black spots turning green and green. But he never saw a duck. So, the captain gave me a wish, and the result was a cake and a meal. In the later, I have seen the captain's old mother-in-law, told the captain to give I wish the old man's house, the old man was pointing at the captain, laughed and said to me: "so many people on the team, also only you listen to him, you also too honesty, you heard his words, the moon can take down when biscuits."
I also smiled. "we know young people to come to the countryside, captain's words, and the other dare not listen. I am afraid that the whole luo ba commune will not find one.
The captain was laughing so hard that he couldn't get up. He gasped for a long time, and finally he said, "I know you guys are working hard. This way, while the old man is still here, you can quickly take the green in the team, and shout together, I invite you to eat the duck. Even if I give you a wish, how?"
A few days later, I found that the grain grown in the large field had grown a little green seedling, and the seedling grew quickly, and soon grew half a foot high. At the same time, a lot of weeds are growing around the green seedlings, which begin to compete with the seedlings in the rice fields for nourishment, which must be removed... .
