The tank bucket is also called a bucket, which is surrounded by wooden planks on all sides and has an opening at the top.

Dad Tang geared up: "Look at my skills, have you been rusty after so many years!" ”

Pick up a handful of paddy and raise it high above your shoulders, and the ears of rice hang down behind you.

Then, like a knife, he slashed forward hard!

The ears of rice were thrown forward from behind, and they hit the board with a "pop", and the board made a "buzzing" sound of trembling, and the golden and full grains of rice then jumped into the tank bucket.

Dad Tang shook the rice stalk, the blades rubbed and "rattled", and then lifted it up and threw it on the board again.

Beat it a few times in a rhythm!

Many parents and tourists who did not participate in the farming activities and just watched the excitement gathered curiously to watch: "What is this for?" ”

Dad Tang explained with a smile: "This is threshing grain!" Beat the millet, then dry it, and peel it off, which is the rice we eat. ”

Someone on the side stretched out his thumb and praised: "At first glance, it's a veteran!" I'll try it after my brother fights. ”

Some of the parents still came from the countryside, and they also worked on the farm when they were children, at least they have seen how their elders did farm work.

The children have basically grown up in the city, so it's very fresh to look at!

This time, I learned from the beginning to the end how the rice I ate appeared on the table.

Dad Tang shook the rice stalk, picked it up and observed it again: "Well, this one has been cleaned." ”

He put the rice stalk on the stump of the rice field next to him, shook his arm twice, and sighed: "Now I really lack exercise, I sit in front of the computer every day, and my arm is sore after hitting the rice twice!" Come on, brother! ”

The parent, who was so hot at what he saw just now, immediately took over the position and called the child to send a handful of rice: "Haha, I'll play it twice!" ”

Harvesting rice is much more tiring than harvesting, and it is a very physically demanding and technical job!

If the posture is not right, or if you use too much force, you may have back pain after hitting for a while.

Skilled farm veterans can control the pace and intensity of their own rice threshing, so that they will not get tired quickly.

At present, rice threshing is basically done with threshing machines or automatic harvesters, which saves time and effort, and only a few areas still use this traditional way to threshing rice. Here's a tank bucket for the children to experience, and a full set of farming experiences.

However, the children did not have time to experience it, and the parents were full of interest!

The rice in line was in full swing, the rice hit the board, and the "bang bang" sounded non-stop, and there were more and more grains below.

This time, it was the children's turn to cheer their parents, and they happened to be a little tired from cutting rice, so they could take the opportunity to rest for a while.

Place the sickle on the ridge next to it and take two sips of water!

Qian Keke suddenly exclaimed in surprise: "Hey, frog! ”

In the field, a frog seemed to be disturbed, jumped up and down her soil-stained instep.

When the children in the neighborhood heard this, they immediately gathered around and watched curiously!

They often come to the zoo to visit, and they are very kind to all kinds of animals, and there will be no sudden startling of such small animals or insects, even if it is a snake, there is a certain degree of tolerance.

Fang Ye also walked over: "Come on, where are there any frogs, come and see!" Don't get too close and scare it, let's keep our distance! ”

Calling everyone to come and watch, he explained with a smile: "Now we have attracted frogs in our fields, which is really good."

In fact, there is also a very complex ecosystem in the rice field!

First and foremost, of course, are the producers in the rice fields, absorbing nutrients from the soil, synthesizing organic matter through sunlight, and finally transporting nutrients to the grains.

They act as energy factories in rice paddies, providing a source of food and shelter for other animals.

There are many insects that feed on rice, such as locusts, rice planthoppers, and moths, which can affect the harvest of rice fields! ”

The children gathered around and listened attentively!

Fang Ye said: "However, in a rice field with a healthy ecosystem, there is no need to worry too much, because there are many agricultural organisms in the field, which can control the number of these 'pests'.

The most common are all kinds of frogs!

They lay their eggs in the water, and they are a bunch for life, and the tadpoles that hatch grow up in the water and become frogs, and the number of frogs is not small, and they are the main force of predation against pests! It can be called a farmland guard.

The fragrance of rice flowers says that there is a good year, and the sound of frogs is heard!

But now, due to the heavy use of pesticides and fertilizers, frogs are no longer visible in many fields, and their cries are no longer heard in summer evenings.

The appearance of frogs in our rice fields is a manifestation of the slow recovery of the ecology. ”

The parents on the ridge of the field couldn't help but be stunned when they heard it!

In the city, I can't help but miss the countryside, the wheat waves float in the wind in summer, the Milky Way is starry at night, the fragrance of the earth after the rain, and the neighbors and elders chat and play cards under the big willow tree......

I took my children back to the countryside several times and wanted to reminisce about my childhood, but I always felt that something was missing.

At night, the stars don't seem to shine so brightly, and the earth doesn't smell so good. Now that I think about it, it seems that I didn't hear the croaking of the frogs!

I thought I was staying in the city for a long time, but my mind was impetuous and I couldn't get down.

But listening to Fang Yeyi, I vaguely felt that the countryside was indeed different now from when I was a child.

Compared with the melancholy adults, the children are in a happy mood.

I planted this rice with my own hands!

Looking at the frog sitting still in the rice field because of Fang Ye's pacifying skills, as if looking at his favorite baby, he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, and there was a small sense of joy.

I usually visit the zoo and learn that the survival status of many animals in storybooks is not so good, and it can even be said that it is precarious.

Sometimes I get frustrated, I want to do something, and I always feel powerless.

Every day we talk about protecting the environment and protecting animals, why are there more and more endangered animals? In the past ten years, twenty years, will the Blue Star still be able to live in a hundred years?

Will it be that by the time they have children, the environment has deteriorated to an irreparable level, and scientists have officially declared humanity imminent?

Other environmental protection cases are too far away from them, and frogs have grown in the rice fields they planted, which is happening right under their noses and witnessing the environment for the better.

For a time, it was full of yearning and longing for a better future.

Fang Ye smiled again: "Of course, frogs also have their own natural enemies, and they will attract snakes!"

In addition to preying on frogs, snakes are also good at preying on mice, and if there are snakes, there is no need to worry about the infestation of rats, and gnaw the rice.

Frogs and snakes attract herons, and they are also frequent visitors to the rice fields, with egrets and pond herons visiting the rice fields during the day and night herons at night!

You see, these creatures in the rice fields naturally form a food chain. ”
