The wheat is ripe.

Xia Feng dried the wheat field, turning the blue wheat yellow and bending her waist. ...

That woman is nearly a hundred years old, and the color of the years has suddenly dyed the white hair on her head. When the wind blows, every dry hair will swing wildly, raising the tip of the hair and revealing a wrinkled yellow forehead. The corner of her eye has already climbed the line, and the calluses on her hands have obviously adapted to the sickle, running in with each other and waving to the wheat in Huang Cancan in the field.

Wheat is jumping on the wheat pile with straw in his left hand and knife in his right. Repeated movements, how skilled she is. The woman wore a wet towel, a long-sleeved beige coat and trousers. Facing the loess with her back to the sky, she bent like that, from the moment the sun rose. After a long time, she will straighten up and have a rest, or put her hand on her waist, or drink water, but she never dares to delay. No one helped her. She is also Dont Ask For Help. She had to hurry and cut hard. Seeing that it was almost noon, the people in the field went home one after another. The woman wiped her sweat, looked around at the position of the big kettle, and walked over, only to find that the water was half drunk. While drinking water, she looked at the wheat that was about to be cut and sighed, "Alas, the weather is getting hotter and hotter, so we should bring more water in the afternoon." As she spoke, sweat ran down her eyes. Although squinting, the woman couldn't stand the smell, and then wiped her sweat.

"Hey, Sister Zhang, it's noon, still busy!" Zhang Daniu stood on the ridge with two sickles in his hand and shouted at the woman. Zhang Daniu is a woman's neighbor. She is two years younger than her. She knows the current situation of the woman's family like the back of her hand. He and her man are good friends. Therefore, on weekdays, Zhang Daniu is very enthusiastic about women's affairs. Therefore, Zhang Daniu's family was jealous and quarreled with him. After the fight, the woman deliberately avoided Zhang Daniu's kindness to her family. Zhang Daniu is an honest person, so she can help. After a few words, the woman urged Zhang Daniu to go home for dinner. Zhang Daniu has been busy all morning, and he is really hungry. The hope of children at home is not to be hungry. He shouted a few words and left soon. The sun gradually moved westward, and the burning sun poked at the woman's back. A woman's whole body is moving mechanically. The sickle seems sharper, and the light shines from time to time in the gap of the wheat field.

This land was finally cut, which is the largest piece of land in the woman's family, with more than two acres. The woman stood up, turned around and saw the roots of the wheat orange exposed on the ground, and piles of wheat scattered on the land of Huang Cancan. She couldn't help laughing.

Quickly packed the kettle and sickle, and the woman said goodbye to the fallen wheat and hurried home. She must hurry to cook and eat. After dinner, she will also pull the cut wheat to the threshing floor. The piles of wheat in the field can't wait for time and can't be dried.

In order to save time, the woman ate noodles. The chickens at home laid many eggs, but she couldn't bear to eat any. She wants to save them to supplement the children's nutrition, or take them to raise some money when there are many eggs. When eating, the woman's man called, and the man called home almost every day to ask about the situation at home, how the woman was and how the children were. Every time a woman hears the phone ring, she is very happy. As soon as the phone rang today, the woman immediately ran to the phone and picked it up, regardless of the noodles in her mouth. After a few commonplaces, the woman urged to hang up again, saying that long distance is expensive, don't always call home, save some telephone bills and pay tuition for the children. At the beginning of the year, men went out of the province with the migrant workers' brigade in the town and worked as coolies on a construction site. He came out to make a living when he was young, and now he is half a hundred in the blink of an eye. At this age, working as a coolie is obviously too much for his health, but he persisted. There is no way. Two children are in college and one is in junior high school. However, he is very proud. His eldest daughter and son went to a famous university, and his youngest son got very good grades. He feels that although it is bitter, it is worthwhile for the future of his three children!

After hanging up the phone, the woman ate the rest of the meal in a hurry and hurried to the wheat field with a cart.

After the cart stopped on the path, the woman put the bag full of water and other things on the weeds, ran to the field without stopping, picked up a pile of wheat and walked back. Because other wheat has not been harvested, the shelf car can only be parked about 20 meters away from the wheat pile. Every time a woman carries a pile of wheat, she has to pass through a curved ridge with a dry ditch in the middle. When she went to the field empty-handed, the woman was much more relaxed, but when she walked back with a pile of wheat, it was very difficult. She must first move the wheat on her chest to one side, and then look out into the ditch. Before each foot touches the ground, she must have a test to prevent stepping empty. In order to order a variety of food, farmers left the ridge very thin, and women trembled slightly when they walked on it, which made people feel that they might fall down at any time.

The shelf car is gradually filled with wheat. The woman simply fixed them with a rope, pulled up the car and drove to the potholed dirt road. Like old Niu Gengdi, women pull over and over again. In case of serious potholes, she has to grit her teeth, pull the handlebars with both hands, lean forward like crazy, and have a belt on her shoulder. Sunset is approaching, and women don't know how many times they have pulled it. She only remembers to load the wheat quickly and unload it when she gets to the wheat field. She came to the wheat field again and looked at some wheat in the field. She breathed a sigh of relief: "One more car will be over!"

The sun is lying on the western horizon, and the red light has dyed the world red. The woman piled a pile of wheat on the shelf car, holding a kettle in one hand and a towel in the other to wipe the sweat. She smiled brightly. Going back with a pile of wheat. After crossing the ditch, she just raised her foot to explore the road, and her other foot has not yet stood firm. When she slipped, she fell into a dry ditch with the wheat. The woman frowned, stood up with one hand on the ground and one hand on her waist. Instead of talking, she reached for a pile of wheat. Suddenly there was a hissing sound from the side. The woman was surprised, and quickly stopped what she was doing and stood there motionless. The yellow face that had just been wiped with sweat soon overflowed with sweat, big and small. The woman was afraid, but did not dare to move. She saw a snake passing through the grass in front of her eyes. A woman has seen this kind of snake. This is a spotted snake. A few years ago, when she was working in the field with her man, the man hacked one to death in front of her, just like this. The sound of "hissing" faded away. The woman swallowed a mouthful of saliva and dared not neglect. She picked up the wheat and climbed up. In the panic, the woman accidentally stepped on the ridge of the field and fell down again, but she was too scared to take care of the pain, struggled to get up and ran to the shelf car quickly. By the time she loaded the car, the sun had disappeared. As night falls, the night in June is full of warm wind, which is a bit sultry. The woman pulls the car forward step by step, and the night in the countryside is night. When darkness comes, there can only be darkness. It has no flashing neon lights in the city, and there are no endless traffic. People go to bed early. A woman standing on the road can only see a few faint lights in the distance. The night is quiet, which makes women feel very scared. She couldn't help shrinking. Although her eyes were wide open, the road she saw was still dark. By feeling, she slowly approached the village, and the barking of dogs not far away made her feel warm. When she got home after stacking the wheat, she found it was almost nine o'clock, and women usually went to bed at seven o'clock. The woman shook her head, and her tired body made her too lazy to make a fire and cook. After a quick shower, she lay down to sleep. Women are really tired. Like her man, she fell asleep in less than a minute.

I don't know how long it took. The woman suddenly woke up and sat up straight. It's gray outside the window, so I can't see anything clearly. That woman just heard the cock crow.

"It's dawn." The woman said, unable to get out of bed, exercised her muscles and continued to be busy.

After drinking two bowls of clear soup noodles, the woman felt much better. Looking at the shelf car at the door, the woman suddenly felt that she should pull it to the ground, so that when she came back at noon, she could bring back the wheat harvested in the morning. Thinking that food can soon become a ticket for children to go to school, the woman immediately got excited, grabbed a knife and put it in the car with her own equipment. One person, one car and one world, the wheat is ripe, and a woman's life is to conquer a piece of land. In her eyes, this is a competitive game, the survival of the fittest.

Levin is like a fire, burning the people in the field and steaming the water on his body. Compared with previous years, it was unusually hot in June this year. Although the woman's sweat can't stop flowing downwards, she is very gratified. She thinks this weather is a gift from God. The eldest daughter specially checked the weather forecast when she was in college. She called her mother and told her that it would be very hot for half a month in a row. Don't be too busy and be sure to pay attention to your health. Women don't care, laughing and saying that hot weather is nothing, as long as it doesn't rain and doesn't delay crops, it is good weather!

For a week, calluses on women's hands were replaced by blisters of different sizes. Women don't care about those blisters. After simple dressing with white cloth, she picked up the sickle and continued to conquer the unfinished land. At night, the woman dragged her tired body home, and she felt the pain from her hands. As the white cloth wrapped around her hand was slowly removed, a vicissitudes of life soon appeared in front of her. With a sudden pain, the woman couldn't help but hiss. Coagulated blood stuck her hand on the white cloth, and the woman frowned and carefully continued to uncover it. She endured the pain and a piece of half red and half white cloth was finally taken off. The woman picked up the prepared purple mercury and applied it to the wound. When the medicine erodes the wound, the woman bites her teeth without making a sound, but the fine sweat on her forehead clearly emerges. The woman looked at her wrapped hand again and remembered this season's wheat: the wheat in the field has finally been cut, and the sun-dried grain in the wheat field can be put into storage tomorrow. The wheat just cut today will be threshed tomorrow, and the crops this season are similar ... The woman was lost in thought, and she heard a voice outside the door: "Sister!"

The woman looked up and saw that it was Zhang Daniu. She said, "Daniel, why are you here? Go back quickly. Let Xiaohong come to see you later. You two are going to quarrel again! "

Zhang Daniu was very unhappy when he heard this. He hurried behind him and said, "Come here, come here."

"Little red ..." The woman was obviously one leng.

Xiaohong embarrassedly entered the house with her husband. She lowered her head and pointed at the woman and said, "Sister, I'm really sorry about last time. I shouldn't be so stingy, quarrel with Daniel and scold you. I am ... no! "

"Little red, she is very straightforward. Although she speaks without thinking, sometimes she is very blunt, but ... "

"Hey, this is all a thing of the past. There is a skeleton in the cupboard. I don't blame you! "

"really! Elder sister, don't you blame me? " Xiaohong was a little excited and shed tears.

The woman nodded seriously: "How can I blame you? Hey, don't cry, sit down, sit down, I'll get you water! " "

"No, no, we are not thirsty." Daniel quickly stopped it.

"Sister, what happened to your hand?" Xiaohong conveniently said it. Through the observation of the wheat harvest in the past two weeks, Xiaohong saw this woman get up early and reap the grain in the dark, holding her waist down and wearing her hands, and suddenly lost a lot of weight. In addition, her husband told her that in the past, women and men were not at home, and the children helped her collect food. This year, they went to other provinces to study in universities. The younger son was nervous at school during the critical period and could not come back. She will be overwhelmed by so many things in this field alone. He has such a good relationship with his eldest brother that when he was in trouble, he felt sorry for not helping his eldest brother. Xiaohong thought about it, why did she feel that her behavior at that time was very wrong? She can't sleep these days. Tonight she finally got up the courage and took her husband to the woman's house to apologize.

"Well, it's broken, just wrapped. Never mind, never mind. " The woman readily replied.

"Elder sister, bitter you ... are your wheat busy? Let Daniel help you! " Xiaohong feels uncomfortable and doesn't know what to do.

"No, it's over, it's all over!" The woman breathed a sigh of relief.

"Nonsense, the door is busy. Didn't you just pull back a pile of wheat today? Don't worry, give it to me! "

"How did this happen?" The woman shook her head again and again.

"Why not? To say so is to treat us as outsiders! " Daniel is a little unhappy.

"Elder sister, let Daniel help you. You have been busy for half a month and your hand is hurt. It's time to have a good rest! "

Women still feel wrong when they think about it. She was very concerned about what happened before and was about to refuse, but her stomach wouldn't listen to her. As a result, she was dragged to Zhang Daniu's house for dinner.

The next morning, the woman came to the wheat field to get ready for work, and found Mr. and Mrs. Zhang Daniu sitting beside their own wheat pile to help them beat wheat. Suddenly, as soon as my heart touched, tears fell down. In the past half a month, women have shuttled between wheat fields, wheat fields and homes every day, living a seemingly three-point-one life. In the field of crops, the sickle is her assistant, and on the muddy road, the cart is her helper. In the face of difficulties, she supported herself alone, and only she knew what she suffered during the period.

Rural people got up very early, and Zhang Daniu and Xiaohong came to the wheat field before dawn. After three people's efforts in the morning, this pile of wheat is almost finished, and the wheat grains roll down the wheat field and shine against the sunrise.

When the wheat was harvested, the woman's heart relaxed a little.

The youngest son's school is closed for two days. As soon as he finished school, he got on the bus home. Two hours later, the youngest son left home with anxious to return in his heart. The woman was so happy that she didn't know what to say when she saw her little son. The next day, she took a basket of eggs to the gathering place to exchange some money, and then cut some meat to buy some good dishes. The woman is going to make meat buns for her son with flour ground from new wheat.

When the delicious meat buns are cooked, the woman picks up a dozen and sends them to Zhang Daniu's home. All the good things that Daniel's family does to women these days are in women's hearts. Women feel very happy when they see their son munching on delicious meat buns and praising women's cooking skills. In the evening, the man, the eldest daughter and the eldest son called one after another, and the son and daughter who went to college will have a holiday soon. My daughter said that she found a summer job near the school, and she could make money by herself, so that women should not worry and take good care of themselves. My son said that he would come back as soon as he had a holiday. He assured the woman that he would take good care of the next rice season.

Women are happy to see their children grow up and understand.

She looked at the pale yellow haystack in front of the door, and the western half of the haystack was set off by the sunset and blushed. At this moment, she suddenly felt that the haystack was warm and beautiful, the sunset was beautiful, and the world seemed beautiful!

More wonderful in my mouth
