In the second semester of spring, I was firmly in the top few little red flowers. Once, a teacher came from the county to test, and I, Sheng Hua, and Lu Ping were appointed to answer questions. I was the first to go in, and the examiner asked me to "5 phrases of spring word group" "I answered Spring Festival, spring, spring breeze, spring rain, spring. "I couldn't say the fifth one when I was nervous. The rest of the question was answered well, but I can't remember what he asked now. When I came out, the teachers learned from me about their level of questioning and gave me a spring supplement. The overall grade in the house is A.

Spring is the time to plant rice. He had sown the grain earlier, and waited for the seedlings to grow taller. Then there is the preparation of various rice plantings. Prepare farm tools, contact ploughing cattle, arrange irrigation waterways, etc.

Almost all the farm tools and kitchen utensils we have there were made of bamboo. Bamboo is everywhere in Fujian and is highly flexible. Ask a craftsman to come to your house and he will do everything he can for you. Brooms, buckets, chairs, large and small bamboo beds, rocking chairs, kitchen brushes, hot dishes, rice, chopsticks, etc. There are more farm tools, in addition to dense bamboo baskets, sparse bamboo baskets, tea picking frames, tea baskets, single-layer bamboo frames that can be set up on the pole to rest and dry goods, drying pads that can be rolled up for drying rice, flat shoulders, and many others are used when planting rice.

Before the turn of the oxen, each family used a hoe to maneuver some small areas of the field and remove weeds from all the ridges and walls. Otherwise, it will be difficult to reorganize the seedlings when the time comes. There are only 2 cows in the township, and their mouths are always chewing, and their eyes are very dark and big. If a child encounters it on a country road, he will go backwards if he can, or he will be trampled flat. Once, when I was carrying my lunch to the mountains, I came across a cow, and when I was hiding on the side, I turned a corner, and the food was crooked to the side, and I was in great trouble. The day before the cattle arrived, they irrigated the fields and called their brothers to help the next day, after all, it takes many steps to plant rice.

On this day, if it is sunny, it is the best, if it is rainy, the day has been set, and it cannot be changed, and it must go in the rain, otherwise the cattle will be transferred to other places on cloudy days. Pull out enough seedlings early in the morning for later use, and uproot them and put them in the seedling burden. The seedlings are like a tall and thin trapezoid, with front and back, upside down seedlings, stacked from the bottom to the top, without destroying the roots and heads, and it is easy to pick up the road with a flat pole. When ploughing the field, two people are asked to help, one holding the plow and the other shouting at the ox. It takes three or four times to go back and forth in the water, the water is very mixed, you must wear water shoes, and you must wear those who leak, otherwise leeches and other dangers are not to say, because you can't see clearly, you accidentally plow your feet and it's troublesome, you can't touch the water for many days, and how to work.

After ploughing, take a pair of bamboo rows, which are like arches with handles. With both feet and hands, step by step, push back and forth the earth. Then he grabbed a handful of seedlings, tied them up, pinched his head, and sat down in the pot. In those years, black basins were used, which were thick and heavy, and the top was as large as the bottom, about 15 centimeters. Compared with today's basins, this kind of basin can hold a lot of seedlings, and the draft is not much, even if it carries many seedlings, it can float on the water, even if the seedlings are placed on one side, the pot will not fall.

Adults wear hats and step barefoot into the water. When the spring rain continues, you also have to add a coat. Then there were plastic raincoats. When the sun comes out, wear a hat to shade the sun. Take out a handful from the pot and put it in your left hand, and insert 3-4 roots into your right hand at a time, with a distance of about one palm. Press the brush into the water and form it at once. When it is planted in front of the feet, add some seedlings, and then push the seedling pot back and take a big step back, so that you can step on the field a few times. When you want to plant rice in the place where you have stepped on, you should re-loosen it with your hands.

It's been April and May, and we don't have tea at home. You don't have to be busy picking tea like other people. So we go to someone's house after school or on weekends to peel the tea core. Several children who often peel tea cores also know each other. The price of one or two tea cores has slowly increased from 5 cents when I was young, and now it costs three or four yuan. In the evening, I sat and peeled for about three hours. After allocating, weigh the money and leave, all the allocation is our "rules", for example, although there is only one left, peeling is not necessarily heavy, we still rush to peel all of them. It seems that not a single grain can be wasted. But this one is as precious as rice. On weekends, the owner usually spends the whole day in the mountains, but when he comes back at noon, he asks everyone to peel the tea core, and then goes to the mountain to pick tea. If a child is half-stripped and leaves, he will not get the money until the evening when they come back. Peeling the tea core not only hurts when sitting on the buttocks, but if it rains, the tea leaves are wet, and our fingers are white after peeling. And the weight should be calculated according to the rainy day, and the price is different from that of a sunny day.

One Saturday, my second sister went to Yanhua's sister's house to peel for a whole day, and came back in the evening to give my mother 10 yuan. At that time, 10 yuan could buy a day's food. I admired her in my heart, rubbed a meal, sat all day, and made a lot of money. Our children, no matter how much tea core they peel or how much money they take, are all from their parents. All of them are voluntarily handed in.

During this time, my mother was free, so she planned to buy a black old sow and come back. It looks like a pig mother who can't even remember how many births she has had, and has suffered for most of her life. However, it is good that it can live out its old age while having two more babies. My mother always prepared a good meal for the pigs and let them sleep in the soft grass nest. Usually, when we fry our dishes, when we start eating, we add water to the pot, continue to boil, and wash the dishes after eating. When you are done, you start cooking pig food. Unlike pigs that grew up eating feed, the pigs cooked by my mother contained rice bran, leftovers, grass and colored leaves, feed, and prince ginseng hair. It is boiled in the pot where we steamed rice and stir-fry, stirring at every turn, giving out the aroma of rice bran. Legend has it that they are dirty, but in fact, they also know how to clean their nests, so it is easy for us to clean up, and they sleep warmly. We have to wash their pens almost every day. We helped carry the water, and my dad or mom was stirring it in with water shoes.

When summer first comes, the bamboo branches are also growing luxuriantly. Mom and Dad would also get some bamboo branches back, and we would pick bamboo leaves after we ate, one by one. Mom and Dad cleaned up the picked bamboo branches, a small bundle of a dozen or so, and seven or eight bundles to make a broom. We can make about three in a night and use it for a whole year. I never planned to sell it, but the people in the village would do it themselves, and our family has never talked about buying and selling, and thirdly, the broom that I worked so hard to make is good for my own use. In the summer, mosquitoes attack while picking, and they love the bamboo forest the most. After suffering this pain, is it worth fifteen dollars?

During the summer vacation, the sow gave birth to more than 20 babies, but unfortunately she is old and will not take care of the babies. The baby pig is very cute, and it is a doll in her arms. Of course, the other animals in our family are also very well-behaved, hens, roosters, ducks, plus new puppies, cats, it is really a big family.

I don't have to go to other people's houses to watch TV this summer. Dad bought TCL, and it was a color TV, and it was placed in Mom's room. Brother Monkey in Animation City and Big Windmill is my motivation, and I usually can't catch up at half past five, but Brother Monkey at six o'clock can catch up. In those days of childhood, I met Sister Xiaolu, "Doremi, Scarab, accompanied by the big-faced cat, the little foolish god, the little fairy and the little fairy grew up together, I like Brother Yixiu, Brother Monkey and the eldest son like it very much."

To say, today is the first year of digging prince ginseng, and it should be very busy. However, there was a mistake in management, and the weeds grew wildly, overshadowing the prince ginseng. The nutrition of prince ginseng was stolen, the sun was blocked, and a few plants grew sparsely. We were facing a pile of grass, and the rake was still moving. Instead, I was attracted by the colorful dragonflies "Damselfly" flying around in the fields, and caught them everywhere. They are not as sensitive as dragonflies and are easy to catch. When I was tired, I went to play in the stream, leaving my mother alone in the barren grass, "struggling", and I couldn't dig a dustpan all day. In the first year, the harvest was too bad. If you don't dig it, you won't be willing to dig it, and it will be more difficult to dig it. Seeing my mother digging prince ginseng so lonely and lonely, I felt really uncomfortable. But I can't do anything about it, the grass is taller than me.

When I got to the second grade, I was finally able to change to a different table. I was especially looking forward to the teacher arranging a good girl for me. However, it was again arranged for boys. I became a member of the art committee, and I had to sing every day before class, so that everyone would not be too noisy when they sang together.

It's a pity, but once everyone was very noisy, and a few of us in charge of affairs couldn't sing which song. I got up and was ready to get up at random, but the back table was excited, stood up, patted me on the shoulder, and said I had a good idea. I turned my head, and guess what. I cried for a lesson, it was so unlucky.

Our math teacher's name is Huang Juan, and she is very beautiful. She told us the story of Cinderella, we didn't know how beautiful Cinderella was, she said she was more beautiful than herself, and it dawned on us. She is good friends with her physical education teacher, "half male and female". When we were studying, they would sit at the door and talk.

I went to and from school with Kobayashi Fang, Chen Bin repeated the grade, and continued to study in the first grade, but the pinyin was too bad for him. Sheng Hua went to study in the city.

Around the Mid-Autumn Festival, sweet potatoes are harvested, and everyone lines up to play sweet potato powder. The sweet potato with sweet potato powder is called Taisong potato, which is powdered on the outside and has a lot of white juice on the inside, which is particularly unpalatable to eat. The sweet potatoes we usually eat are yellow on the outside and taste sweet and crunchy. The big wooden barrel can hold 10 adults, I see, take a tube, fill it with water, wash it, and then pour it into a machine in a basket to separate the potato residue, which can be eaten by pigs, but it must be dried well, otherwise it is easy to get moldy. The white juice that is squeezed out is starch juice, which is poured into a large wooden barrel and settled. We always try to provoke it, hammer it and it will be hard, touch it lightly, and the hand will sink in. It's really soft and not hard. When it is almost dry, the adults take a knife and cut it out like a tofu-sized one, use their left hand as a cutting board, cut off the yellowed part, and leave the whitest part to dry thoroughly. When it's dry, it will shatter with a light touch.

During the winter vacation, when Shenghua returns, we will play together for a few days and send greeting cards to each other before the Chinese New Year. Her greeting cards have latte art, stars, and so on. Mine, it's all pictures cut out from book illustrations, and it takes a lot of effort, and I'm often embarrassed to send them out, and I hide behind me for a long time and don't show up. In comparison, it's not high-grade enough. But I spend most of my time growing Pseudostellaria.

Every time we go up the mountain, we come back to drag a few dead branches home, and if we plant prince ginseng in the reservoir, we will run to the reservoir to see the water on the way back, or transfer to the balcony of a large reservoir to run two steps. The sound of the water is very loud, it sounds terrifying when it gets dark, and in the silent world, there is only rumbling water, as if it wants to take you down too.

At home in the evenings, I write my winter vacation homework. Once, everyone was sitting in Mom and Dad's bed watching TV. There were four of us, two on one side, and Mom and Dad leaning against the head of the bed. When I saw it, my neck was crooked, so I wandered and began to think of a topic. I think about it, it can only be half, there is no whole. I had to ask my big sister, "Sister, is it possible that there are only half of the answers in the math problem?" "Of course there is, 0.5" I learned something new, hahaha, immediately got out of bed and opened the workbook on the sewing machine and wrote down the answer. My sister said that watching TV is so unserious.

For a few days before that, we were all free to move. The most important activity of a mother is to call people to kill pigs. After the appointment, our family will entertain the pig killers. The next morning, my mother got up to boil water, and slowly boiled a large wooden barrel, which was really versatile. Set up two wooden benches, and the pig killer came, and when he caught the pig, he could hear the pig's terrible cry. I haven't seen how they caught it, and Mom and Dad said they couldn't get up and watch. But once I got up and peeked, and the cold wind was blowing, and a large wooden barrel was steaming in the yard. Looking down from the hallway, the pig was tied to a wooden bench, white and fat. Take a white knife, stick it in the neck, bleed into the basin, and the pig screams, tears its heart and lungs, and writhes violently. When he groaned and stopped moving, they threw it into the boiling water, and it was dead anyway. After a while, I pulled it out and shaved it, and disemboweled. We leave what we need, and sell the rest to them, ears, tongues that our little ones like. The fat mother uses it to squeeze the oil, and the intestines should be cleaned immediately, and we keep it. If you want to give longevity, leave a pig's trotter.

Ever since I saw this massacre, I had this thought: grow too well, die quickly. It's like losing face.
