"If you plant a millet in spring, you will reap ten thousand seeds in autumn." This is a poem written by Li Shen, a poet in the Tang Dynasty. Growing up in the countryside, my teacher taught me this poem when I was in primary school, but I didn't understand it thoroughly at that time. I simply thought that as long as seeds were sown in spring, there would be a good harvest in autumn. It was a little thing that I experienced that made me understand the real meaning.

About when I was in the fifth grade of primary school, when I was herding cattle in the mountains during the autumn harvest season, I saw a seemingly "dog's tail grass" ear left in the dry soil near the production team. It was golden and covered with golden fruits, which was particularly beautiful, but I didn't know what it was. Curious, I picked it up and took it home. I took all the fruits off, put them on a plate, dried them on the balcony upstairs and collected them.

I later learned from my classmates in the neighboring team that the ear that looks like "dog tail grass" is millet, which is what we usually call millet now, and it is a coarse grain. At that time, few people planted millet there, and no one would eat it. They all used millet as feed for poultry, pigs, cattle and so on.

I also heard that corn looks good. On a sunny Sunday in the spring of the following year, I tidied up a "private plot" in front of my house near the pond, which was less than 1 square meter, dug some fertile pond mud from the pond and spread it on it. Then I scattered the carefully collected small bag of golden millet seeds evenly in the soil, covered it with a thin layer of fire soil ash, and surrounded the soil with small bamboo branches to avoid poultry damage.

After a rainy day, the temperature rises, the millet seeds germinate and slowly climb out of the ground, and gradually green seedlings grow everywhere. Since then, the first thing I do when I get up every morning is to see how much the millet seedlings have grown, and even use a triangle to measure the height of the seedlings. As long as it is sunny for several days in a row, I will water the seedlings for fear that they will dry up if they are thirsty.

Because of the small area and too many seeds, the whole field is covered with hundreds of dense, thin and tender millet seedlings. Under the advice and guidance of my uncle, I reluctantly tore off most of the seedlings, and finally left more than 1 relatively strong seedlings.

In order to make the millet grow better and faster, I also secretly took some feces from the toilet and watered it several times when my mother was not at home. Because of the fertile soil and abundant water, the millet seedlings grew very fast and grew stronger, and soon exceeded the height of the small bamboo branches I used to enclose the seedlings.

Later, the tender millet seedlings were attacked by pests, and the tender leaves of many seedlings were eaten away by unknown pests overnight. I spent a lot of time searching tree by tree, catching the pests and destroying them all. In order to prevent pests from invading again, one day I saw my uncle spraying some pesticides on my millet when he was killing insects in the rice field. Since then, no pests have invaded.

When the millet seedlings grow to about 6-7 cm high, they start heading. Because there are chickens at home, ducks often wander in the pond. I am afraid that they will hurt my millet, and I am afraid that children who are not sensible will steal it. I also strengthened the fence and surrounded it with thin bamboo branches that are half my waist high.

Shortly after the late rice was planted in the field, my ears of millet all bowed their heads and turned golden yellow. At the reminder of my uncle, I cut off the mature ears of corn one by one with scissors after school one day, put them in a bamboo-woven plate and put them upstairs to dry, and then took all the corn out. My mother curiously weighed it with a scale, which was more than 1 kg, which was countless times that of the original seed. I was particularly happy and especially cherished the fruits of my own labor.

but later, the neighbors of the same production team saw that the millet I planted grew well, with thick stalks and long ears and full fruits, and they all asked me for the millet seeds. At first, they were a little reluctant, but later they remembered that it would not be of great use if they left so much. Let everyone plant the millet next year. So I gave all the harvested millet to every household except myself.

in the spring of the following year, the open space in front of the house and behind the house, even on the roadside, was covered with millet seedlings, which were green and rolling like green waves under the gentle spring breeze, giving a vibrant scene. In the autumn harvest season, the ears of millet turn golden yellow, filled with a scene of bumper harvest, which may be no less than rape blossoms, and still appears in my mind from time to time.

One day, the agronomist of the District Office came to the countryside and saw the corn planted around our production team. He also specially invited a photographer from the photo studio in the town to take some photos in front of and behind our production team, saying that it was an exhibition, but it was useless. I didn't know anything about the exhibition. However, before leaving, the agronomist told the captain of the production team that due to the particularity of millet, the same piece of land could not be planted continuously, otherwise it would have a great impact on the soil structure and be detrimental to crop growth in the future.

no one will plant corn anymore. However, because some corn fell to the ground during the harvest last year, many corn seedlings still grew on the ground the next year, which was still so lovely, but not as spectacular as the previous year.

if you plant a millet in spring, you will reap ten thousand seeds in autumn. To my surprise, a small ear of millet has such a strong reproductive ability that it turns into a small sea of millet two years later, and it has become a beautiful scenery that attracts people's attention, and it will also attract the attention of the agricultural technicians of the district office.

Now that I think about it, it's the same in everything. As long as you work hard and sow the seeds of hope, there will always be unexpected gains. The more you pay, the more you will get.
