Chapter 135: Light Backbone
Originally, the clothes could be dried in the space, but my grandmother was afraid that the family would see that it was inappropriate, so she insisted on putting them in the yard to dry. In the summer, Didi can change three or four clothes a day, and the rope in the yard is full of clothes from morning to night.
Every time my grandmother saw it, she said happily: "That is, this year, everyone in our family has a change of clothes, but I didn't want to change them in the past." It's just a good family, only two sets of washing.
A lot of people are in one body, and they wear it during the day and wash it at night. When it rains on a cloudy day, the clothes can't be dried, and you have to put them on if they are half-dry, and the wet tide is very uncomfortable. ”
Grandma's words are convinced, and the friends who play with Yoyo are basically all dressed in clothes, and there are two patches and patches, but they can be worn instead.
No matter how good the breathability of the home-woven coarse cloth is, it is thick and sweat-absorbing, and the sweat-soaked clothes are particularly uncomfortable on the body. Therefore, many boys do not wear shirts and are bare-bones from morning to night. The skin is tanned and shiny.
Not to mention children, many male laborers are also bare-backed, facing the scorching sun, and their backs are sunburned and peeled.
Not to mention that women are topless, there are very few who wear short-sleeved clothes, and they wear long-sleeved clothes no matter how hot the weather is. Grandma told Yoyo that each person has a single dress, which is worn from early summer to autumn breeze, and short sleeves can only be worn in summer, which is poor.
The married daughter-in-law closed the door and bare her back at home. Especially when cooking and burning pots, the kitchen is stuffy and uncomfortable, and cooking a meal is covered in sweat, like taking a bath.
When I heard the door ringing, I hurriedly grabbed my shirt and put it on my body, and there were often cases of wearing reverse clothes and buttoning the wrong buttons, and everyone took it as a joke.
Older women are not exquisite, and have the same bare backbone as men, and the two of them hang in front of their chests, walking and swaying three times. People are used to it and turn a blind eye to it. Every time I see it, my heart hurts, and I can't get used to it.
Entering Futian, the men have a bare backbone, the children have a bare spine, and the elderly women have a bare spine, and the bare spine has become a scene in the village.
For the nostalgia and folklore of this era, I especially like to leave video materials, but I have never taken this kind of footage. She resisted from the bottom of her heart, which was a violation of human rights.
Hantun Village is a well-known wealthy village in the county, and the situation of other villages can be imagined. At their own sales outlets, there are often elderly women from other villages, who come to buy things shirtless.
It was hot and humid for seven days in a row, and there was not a trace of wind under the tree, and I didn't scream when I knew it. Grandma said: "This is just into the second volt is hot like this, the old saying is true, the cold is in Sanjiu, and the heat is in the middle." ”
The weather was so hot that the team did not stop working, but organized personnel to spin sorghum leaves. In the sorghum field, which is more than three meters high, the heat is unbearable, and the edges of the sorghum leaves are like knife blades, leaving a bloody path when they touch people.
People wear coarse cloth long-sleeved clothes, wrap their faces with square scarves, go in and hug sorghum leaves and hurry out, breathe in and then go in to dry. Sweat soaked the clothes and stuck to the body. Everyone sighed when they got out of the ground: "It is said that the sorghum field is cool, and the kitchen door is cool, which is true." ”
On June 27, when I took a nap, the sun was still poisonous, and the temperature was as high as 3 degrees. At about three o'clock in the afternoon, the sky suddenly darkened, and the dark clouds in the sky pressed to the top, and with a thunderous "snort", the pouring rain fell. Amid the "booming" thunder, the heavy rain fell for more than an hour before stopping, and the ground was full of water.
After the rain, the sun hung high in the sky. But the temperature has dropped, the blue sky and white clouds, the air is fresh, and the sultry weather has passed.
The children ran out cheering and tread barefoot to play. Grandma looked up at the sky and said, "The face of the child in June will change when you say it." ”
As soon as the rain stopped, the village bell rang. Uncle and grandfather's loud voice sounded: "Everyone hurry up and go to work and go to the melon underground watermelon." "People came out of their homes and went barefoot to pick watermelons. Mom and Dad went, and Grandma went to help.
Yoyo couldn't understand it, so he pulled his grandmother and asked, "Grandma, there is water everywhere in the field, why are you picking watermelons now." ”
"When the ripe watermelon rains a lot, it will be cracked, so you have to pick it off quickly. Grandma finished speaking and left.
Youyou followed the children to the melon field to see the excitement, the slippery melon was also slippery after the rain, and there would be broken watermelons from time to time. People use melon seedlings to wipe the mud off the skin and break it into pieces for the children to eat.
Everyone is talking about it, in the past few days, the village tractors and donkey carts have been dispatched together, and less than 20 acres of watermelons have been sold, and now they are almost 10 acres ripe, and the more than 100,000 catties of watermelons are picked together, how to sell them.
The picked watermelons can be stored for four or five days at most, that is, they can sell 10,000 catties a day, and half of them have to be left, and if they are divided, one hundred and seventy catties, more than ten watermelons. I usually don't want to eat, but this time I can't eat it.
Besides, now that the watermelons in each village have come down, after the rain, they all have to be picked and sold together, the price must be low, and it is not as good as it used to be.
However, this time it is concentrated, and there will be fewer watermelons in the future, and the remaining 20 acres of late watermelons in the village can be bought at a good price.
Everyone said that my uncle and grandfather would be in charge, and the 50 acres of watermelons in the village were planted in stages, and if they all came down now, we would have to feed the pigs.
Although it was past four o'clock in the afternoon, the sun was still very poisonous, and by the time the people had picked all the watermelons, the ground on the wheat field had dried a layer of skin. Everyone began to pick melons again, and the big ones were put together, and the muddy ones were wiped clean with melon seedlings.
The remaining crooked, small, put together, cracked together, this is ready to be divided. Yoyo looked quite sad, just now he was talking about feeding the pigs, which was still reluctant to eat by himself, knowing that he couldn't sell it, but he still held on to hope. In the end, one person divided the catties of melons, the Youyou family divided five, and one was a crack.
Compared with the depressed mood of adults, the children's world is always simple, cheering happily: "Divide the watermelon, divide the watermelon." Looking at their round bellies propped up by eating watermelon, Yoyo felt funny again.
When he returned home, Yoyo discussed with his grandmother: "Grandma, let's buy all the watermelons in the team." In my mall, the land watermelon is a hot item, and you can buy it for 10 yuan per catty. ”
"It doesn't matter how much you sell, it's better than bad, the big guys are pointing to these watermelons to make money. In fact, we don't have much money to buy them, only 5,000 yuan per catty at 5 cents. But what do we say? There has to be a reasonable reason. "Grandma is in trouble.
Yoyo scolded secretly, in this era of sister pit, it is difficult to do a good thing. The two thought of countless reasons before finally deciding on a feasible one.
After drinking the soup, Grandma and Youyou went to find their uncle and grandfather, who had just returned from the melon field and had not yet taken care of eating. 11
