In Xiachong Village, Zhang Tao carried a threshing machine on his shoulders and walked forward with a sigh. Cher and Nana, two beautiful women, ran in front of and behind him.

"Brother Tao, why is this season called double robbery?" Cher asked innocently with wide eyes.

That's an interesting question. Zhang Tao thought about it carefully and began to show off himself.

"That's it! I really can't say a word. ”

"However, for the sake of Xue'er's children's studiousness, I will patiently explain it to you."

"These two words can be solved separately. This double has two meanings: one is to represent the people on the threshing machine, to be in pairs, two threshing and two handing the crop;

The second is the farm work in this season, which is to plant rice after harvesting, and the two-pronged approach is to do so.

This robbery is a little more complicated, because this work is relatively tight, and you have to race against time. ”

"Then why is it tighter? Why not sooner or later? Cher asked with a frown.

"That's a good question, little friend Cher, it shows that you've used your brain and are thinking deeply about it."

Zhang Tao is like a podium instructor, continuing to show off his erudition.

"The rice grows and matures, and it all changes with the seasons and the weather. When it's time to cook, it's cooked. ”

"As soon as this rice is ripe, then we have to harvest it quickly. If this is not done, the heavy ears of rice will bend the stalks, and the millet will soak in the water, which will cause germination. ”

"The rice has sprouted, isn't the farmer Uncle busy this year?"

"Moreover, if you don't harvest it in time, those that are overripe, touch it a little, and the grain will automatically fall into the field."

"Think about it, how wasteful is that? How can we do the granules required in our primary school textbooks? ”

"And what if there's a storm? What a terrible and terrible thing this must have been! If this seedling is planted one day late, it can also have a huge impact on its growth......"

"This pound of rice doesn't seem to be worth a lot of money!"

Zhang Tao attached so much importance to Xue'er's words and explained them so carefully. Nana was dissatisfied, so she interjected at an inopportune time.

The meaning of this is very clear, how important you are to say how important the double robbery is, but what is the result? What's the use?

Nana inadvertently pinpointed Zhang Tao's pain points.

Her words, like a spear, stabbed at him quickly and ruthlessly.

He couldn't help but tremble in pain, and his face instantly turned gray and gloomy.

He was blameless Nana.

Almost all urban people who have been detached from the land do not understand the suffering of the peasants.

In their bones, they all have contempt and contempt for the barefoot peasants in the countryside.

Perhaps, this has nothing to do with personal qualities, but is caused by the general environment.

Yes! How much money can a pound of grain be worth?

Who knows that Chinese food is hard work.

How many people who don't have their hands touching the spring water can understand the hardships and sadness of farming?

The farmer's uncle planted one acre, from soaking, sowing, plowing, transplanting, fertilizing, insecticide, weeding, killing grass, threshing, drying grain... To the final warehousing, it lasted several months, and more than a dozen links were indispensable.

Every link, soaked in their salty sweat and tears.

An acre of rice is harvested in thousands of catties. Leaving aside all the labor, only counting the cash input, in total, there is not much money surplus at all.

Then we have to consider the rising prices of agricultural materials, the more farming, the more losses.

Zhang Tao sighed and did not speak. The scene in the ridges on the side of the road made him feel indescribably sour and helpless.

The villagers in the fields are bent over and sweating one by one. There are those who kill the crops, there are those who threshk the rice, and there are those who plough the fields with great waters.

In this scorching hot day, even the cows who are praised as models of hard work and resentment can't stand it.

With the scorching sun above their heads, they pulled the plows with their heads buried in their heads, and let out a low, dissatisfied roar in their throats.

The cow's roar was very helpless, even a little poignant.

Cattle are a farmer's best friend.

They knew the suffering of the oxen, but they had no choice but to wave the long whip in their hands to drive the cattle to continue to work hard.

If you don't do this plough thing, old man, then who will do it?

If the peasants do not bear this kind of hardship, who will?

Old man, you and I are half a pound to eight taels, and we are both miserable people in the world.

The roar of the cow made Zhang Tao's heart more and more uncomfortable.

Yes! Farmers are cheap and farming is hard. Who wants to be a stupid peasant who lives on the fields and depends on the sky for food?

Those who dance and write and praise the peasants, in fact, praise the old buffalo in the field.

"Moo!" Do you know the suffering of cattle?

Aren't you playing the piano to the cow and whitewashing the peace?

For farmers, farming is not willingness, not liking, not hobby, that is helplessness.

Farmers have a mantra, "What do you eat if you don't grow?" ”

Yes! What do you eat without planting? What can you do without planting?

Their knowledge is limited, limited by many factors, they have no capital to do business, they are engaged in farming and breeding to get rich, and they have no technology and no courage.

When you go out to work, you can only do the lowest and most arduous work, and most of them are just full of food.

Those elderly peasants who want to be migrant workers are not qualified. They are destined to live their lives facing the loess, with their backs to the sky, and their legs wrapped in mud.

Farming is helpless, forced by life, and forced by reality.

"Brother Tao, what's wrong with you!" Nana asked anxiously.

Seeing Zhang Tao's painful expression, she thought that her words just now hurt Zhang Tao, and she was extremely nervous, and even the tone of her words trembled a little.

Zhang Tao turned around and smiled, and said to Nana: "It's nothing, I just thought of something just now." ”

Of course he wouldn't be mad at Nana. Nana's unintentional words touched his pain points.

And he could see that Nana was kind and simple, and she shouldn't be the kind of vain girl who looked down on the peasants.

Nana sighed, and didn't ask more.

What people think in their hearts, they will naturally say what they want to say. If you rush to ask, and it is inconvenient for others to say it, it will be very embarrassing for both parties.

Whether a person is liked or not, it is actually very important to observe words and colors and bring good behavior.

At least Nana has done a good job in this regard, and she knows how to act by looking at her eyes.

"Brother Tao, why is your house so far away?"

Nana deliberately diverted the topic, hoping to pull Zhang Tao out of her bad mood.

"Yes! It's almost time for us to grind the field. You see, standing here, you can see our mining department. Cher followed suit.

"My family's field is the farthest in our group." Zhang Tao said.

"What's going on?" Nana asked curiously.

Xue'er also looked at Zhang Tao suspiciously, waiting for him to answer.

Zhang Tao calmed down and said, "This matter is a long story. Behold, on the way here, how many hills are there and how many fields are complete? Most of them are cut into pieces of dried tofu, right? ”

"Yes! I've always wondered about this. ”

"Yiqiu Tian is not big, and it is cut into dried tofu and distributed to so many households. Naturally, each farmer's field is also one in the east and one in the west, so it is inconvenient to cultivate! ”

Nana was more involved in farming, and she immediately expressed her feelings.

"In this way, it is easy to have conflicts between households."

"If you have to use machinery, you won't be able to start work."

"You don't know, there's no way around it. Farmers make a living from the fields and attach great importance to the nature of the fields. This has brought great difficulties to the division of fields. Zhang Tao patiently explained.

"We don't have a lot of fields, and we have about three points of land. This field is far and near. Far from paying a lot of labor, everyone naturally wants to choose the field in front of the house and behind the house. ”

"In addition, the quality of the fields also varies greatly, including arid fields, paddy fields, fertile fields, lean fields, cold water fields, deep mud fields, and so on. The yield varies greatly from field to field. ”

In this case, everyone is staring at Koda and Konda. The only way to cut the dried tofu is to take the group, and then the heroes pick it up by hook, that is, draw lots. ”

"There are few people who are willing to plant those distant fields and arid fields. It's either too hard, or the yield is too low to be cost-effective. ”

"The group will increase the area year-on-year to take out these fields, and let those who are willing to plant choose first."

"Those who have a lot of labor or have no other way to generate income at home, and who rely entirely on the field to support their families, often choose to plant such fields."

Speaking of this, a trace of melancholy climbed up to Zhang Tao's forehead again, and he smiled bitterly and continued.

"My family belongs to such a difficult family, and my parents have to choose the farthest field in the village in order to provide us with education and produce more food."

After listening to Zhang Tao's words, Xue'er and Nana couldn't talk well, lest they touch Zhang Tao's sadness again.

Then, their hearts became extremely uncomfortable. I couldn't imagine that Brother Tao, who was so sunny and strong in their eyes, would endure so much pain.

Is his ability tempered in this pain? How can I help him?

If you want to be with him, you naturally have to go into his heart and share his pain.

Zhang Tao may not have expected that his casual words made Xue'er and Nana have a great change in their hearts, with more longing and desire, and more gentleness, sympathy and understanding.

The follow-up will be more exciting, so stay tuned for the following!
