Which do you think is better, cutting wheat or pulling wheat?

Wheat ripens in summer and the weather is hot during the harvest season. The air is full of heat waves and rising steam can be seen on the ground. Walking on the field path, an unspeakable smell goes straight to the nose, which makes people feel itchy.

Many people are afraid of the wheat awn, which hurts too much. And I can't get down if I stick to my clothes, and I dare not do it with bare arms, so I can only endure it.

However, people's enthusiasm for work is very high, and they are all racing against time to gain. Everyone was afraid of sudden rain, because at that time, the wheat harvest lasted for a long time, basically about half a month to twenty days, and there was a lot of work to be done, such as cutting, pulling, grinding, raising, drying, loading and transporting. So much work must be perfect. Among these activities, the most impressive thing is cutting and drying.

The reason why I was impressed by cutting and drying wheat was because I was nervous when I first started cutting, and the wheat day officially began. When basking in the sun, most people begin to relax psychologically. You don't have to do anything to bask in wheat, just watch, not to mention how comfortable it is.

Let's talk about cutting first

At that time, they all cut by hand with sickles and bent down to bask in the sun. The wheat fields were full of such people. Whoever cuts fast will be praised by others, but only they know how much backache it is.

Under normal circumstances, the fastest runner can cut an acre of land a day. If he bends down, he will no longer be straight and continue to cut. When I was a child, I couldn't worship such a man. Personally, I think I need to lift my waist after cutting two, and then look around, thinking that I just want to follow the shade, or I will pretend to have a stomachache and headache if I don't go down.

Watching while drying wheat is one of my favorite jobs. Sitting on a wooden cart, the leaves keep blowing, and watching others work in the sun makes me feel more comfortable.

I won't cut the wheat at that time, but I will go home and pull the wheat. At that time, there was a small cart made by my grandfather, which could push three or four bundles of wheat at a time. This is a strength for my family. I thought that when I grew up, I could cut wheat with a sickle and even pull wheat with a cart, but now I don't grow wheat. These can only be good wishes to stay in my heart.

It was very hot when the wheat was harvested. You must get up early in the morning. At dawn, take advantage of the dew in the field to harvest wheat in the field. At this time, the straw is soft and not easy to crack. It's too hot to work until after ten in the morning. Go to the mountain to cut wheat at three o'clock in the afternoon, and it will be dark at seven or eight o'clock in the evening. ?
