Walking in the village with Ye Caiping, watching the rice begin to ripen again, Chu Jiaqiang realized that the time had reached the middle of July, and in a few years, it would be busy again.

In fact, the village is already ready to start harvesting. The rice harvest in this season is the most troublesome. First of all, there is generally water in the field, which makes the field actually a piece of mud, which increases the difficulty of harvesting. Secondly, the premature qi is unpredictable at this time, and even the premature prediction cannot be trusted.

Therefore, drying millet has become the most headache for farmers, every household in the grain field must have a whole and guard, you have to always pay attention to the bad luck, the slightest wrong, you have to put it away immediately.

But sometimes, when it is about to rain, when everyone has worked hard to harvest the grain, it suddenly becomes sunny. When you get back in the sun, there may be a sudden sun rain. Then you really want to cry without tears, and you are being toyed with and controlled.

Immediately after harvesting, they have to plough, harrow, and plant seedlings. Therefore, these two months are the hardest time of the year for farmers. The children are also the most afraid, but the school is on summer vacation at this time, and they can't hide if they want to.

"The second uncle said that we will have to harvest the white spoon millet in the future." Ye Caiping said to Chu Jiaqiang.

Chu Jiaqiang nodded indifferently: "We don't cultivate much, and with a lot of income, it should be very easy." ”

If it's just your own, of course it's easy. But Chu Jiaqiang will definitely help others when he is done with himself. Otherwise, if you are idle, don't be busy, in the countryside, especially if you have some relatives, you will feel embarrassed.

In fact, this time is not the best time to harvest. According to Chu Jiaqiang's knowledge, rice maturity generally goes through four periods, namely milk maturity, wax maturity, completion and dead tree stage.

Milk maturity period: 3~5 years after the rice flowering, the grain filling begins. After filling, the grain content is white milky slurry, starch continues to accumulate, thousand, fresh weight continues to increase, in the beginning of milk ripening, fresh weight increases rapidly, in the middle of milk ripening, fresh weight reaches the maximum, rice grains gradually harden and white, the back is still green. At this stage, there is a feeling of hard object in the middle of the hand-pressed ear, and the duration is about 7~10 years. Wax maturity stage: the contents of the grains in this stage are thick and sticky, no emulsion appears, the grains in the middle of the hand-pressed ear have a hard feeling, the fresh weight begins to decline, and the thousand weight is close to the maximum. The green color on the back of the rice grains gradually disappears, and the chaff turns slightly yellow. This period is about 7~9 years old. Maturity period: the chaff turns yellow, the moisture of the rice grains decreases, the weight of the thousand things reaches a fixed value, the grains become hard, and it is not easy to break. This is the harvest period. Dead tree stage: the chaff yellow fades, the branches are withered, the top branches are easy to break, and the rice grains occasionally have traces of cross-sectioning, which affects the rice quality. The criterion for rice to reach physiological maturity is to reach the maximum weight of 1,000 grains, that is, the maturity stage. From the appearance, when more than 95% of the grain shell of each ear turns yellow or more than 95% of the grain spikelet and auxiliary guard turn yellow, the rice grain is determined to harden and become transparent, which is the best period for rice harvest.

Now it seems that it is time to complete the maturity stage, but the seedlings have not completely withered and yellowed, and many of them are still verdant. However, at this time, the time is relatively rushed. In addition, the rice in summer has not to wait for the seedlings to completely wither before being harvested, so there are no other scruples.

A gust of wind blew, and everyone suddenly felt refreshed. The winds of summer are the coolest, autumn

The wind is too bleak, the cold of winter, and the softness of spring. Every season has its own characteristics, and the wind is no exception.

At this time, you can see a ** rice wave, which is very spectacular. At the edge of the rice field, there are some shooting enthusiasts, using the camera in their hands to capture this dynamic moment.

"It's beautiful!" Ye Caiping said.

"Huh! It's a lot worse now. In the past, I heard from the old man that at that time, there were very few houses, and they were very concentrated, and the rest were all rice fields, and that was what it looked spectacular. Chu Jiaqiang said with a smile.

Not anymore, the dotted houses are located in the middle, which affects the overall effect. In the past, the house was concentrated to prevent tigers and other fierce beasts from entering. Bi Jing has entered more, and even the beast will be afraid of three points.

Before I knew it, I walked to the river. The riverside of Chujiazhai likes to plant bamboo, which also adds a lot of poetry and picturesqueness to the Chujia River. These bamboos are relatively thin bamboos, and after a typhoon, many bamboos will be blown off. However, this bamboo multiplies quickly, so don't worry.

"Oops! The red panda actually ran here. Ye Caiping immediately saw a red panda eating bamboo. She was overjoyed, trotted over, and picked up the red panda.

Chu Jiaqiang reached over and stroked the red panda. This one seems to be never sorrowful.,It's always a cute and childish cat face.,Let a lot of people like it.。

Chu Jiaqiang immediately saw a bird's nest that had been torn off, and immediately smiled. No need to guess, it must be a thousand red pandas. The eggs inside may have fallen into the belly of the red panda.

Red pandas usually either run to the river to eat bamboo, or go to the backyard to eat sugar cane. Almost half of those sugarcanes are eaten by red pandas. The little one loves to eat sugar cane and feels better than bamboo.

After walking for a while, Chu Jiaqiang and Ye Caiping saw a little guy herding cattle, and the buffalo was grazing by the river. But the guy climbed up the tree and sat on the treetop reading a book.

Chu Jiaqiang thought that guy was diligent! At this time, I still read books. Now that the holidays are over, many children have already put down their studies and played to their heart's content. This kind of entry is really rare. However, when Chu Jiaqiang saw it clearly, he found that it was a copy of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and he was speechless.

"Do you understand this book?" Ye Caiping asked. Looking at the child, it seemed that he was only about eight years old.

The child woke up and saw that it was Chu Jiaqiang and his wife, and immediately said with a hippie smile: "I can see it, but there are too many strokes in some words, I don't know it." Moreover, how is this book different from what the teacher said? ”

Chu Jiaqiang took a look, it was a translated version of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and it was not surprising that he could understand it. Since it's a lite version, there must be some differences.

"Your book is incomplete, it is a condensed content, and the teacher tells the story, of course, it is added to the vinegar, and it cannot be exactly the same. By the way, where did you get this book? Bought it yourself? Chu Jiaqiang finally asked.

The boy shook his head: "No, it was given to me by an older sister who lives in my house." ”

Chu Jiaqiang suddenly realized, and said secretly, I said! When did these little guys become so arrogant? He could see that the book was genuine, and it cost forty or fifty yuan to say the least, and he didn't believe it, and those little guys were willing to take it out and buy a book.
