After the corn cob was exposed to the sun for a few days, when the corn kernels began to become clean, Sun's parents arranged to remove the corn kernels.

The most common method of removing corn kernels is mainly rubbed by human hands: hold two corn cobs, one hand and rub them crosswise. The golden corn particles quickly took off from the corn cobs, dripping like golden raindrops.

Of course, most families in the village ask machines to remove corn kernels. People put unthreshed corn cobs into the feed port and shake the rocker arm next to the threshing machine vigorously. The corn kernels will be successfully threshed. After shaking, the degranulated corn cobs will be rolled out from the core outlet.

Compared with manual processing, the threshing machine is faster, but the disadvantages are also obvious. The threshing is often not clean, and there are often residual particles on the rod, which needs to be manually passed.

Sun Gang's family is not much, so it's not worth using machines. For example, the big farmers who grow corn in the village usually invite machines to thresh.

Because of hard work, Sun Gang's palms became red and swollen. Looking at his fat hands like a bear's paw, Sun Gang couldn't help but sigh, "Good guy, this is the real meaning of every grain of hard work."

Finally, the corn that was peeled off was weighed. Good guy, I harvested more than 500 kilograms of corn kernels in this half acre of land. Generally, one acre of land can produce 1,300 kilograms of corn on the cob. It would be nice to harvest 1,000 kilograms after threshing.

After greetings from neighbors and familiar people, Sun Gang had to walk along the country road alone for a while, and each time he felt differently in his heart.

Sun Gang loved this yellow land deeply. He always seemed to hear the boiling sounds below the ground, always seemed to see the scenes of people coming and going between the ridges, and it was engraved in his heart for a long time.

Sun Gang likes all the four seasons of the fields, but in autumn, Sun Gang wants to say that he especially loves the fields in autumn. It is a kind of openness, a kind of heroism, and a kind of imagination that allows you to work hard and gallop.

The fields in autumn are harvesting this year and sowing the hope for next year. They are also the most tiring and longest busy farming in the year. However, when I think about the help in the busy season of the three autumns, it is a different kind of happiness.

In large areas of cornfield, after peeling off the corn cobs, the straw belts were cut down with a small slab. One hand waved the slabs and the other hand held the slabs. Only when they couldn't hold them were held, they were left in a regular manner, rows and long lines.

After that, the dense cornfield suddenly became wide open, not endless, but also relaxed and happy within the eyes.

The corn stalks are used to dry the ground. It rains a lot in summer, and the ground must be wet. If the ground does not dry the machine and goes back and forth, it will plow a bunch of "bright strips" when the land is cultivated, so that it will be a big deal when sorting the land.

Of course, some are harvested by machines, and corn stalks are directly crushed and scattered in the field. After a winter of fermentation, they will become the best fertilizer in the spring of the following year.

If it is broken manually, of course, corn stalks must be cleaned out of the field. They are used to burn fire and surround the fences of the vegetable garden. There are also guillotines to cut, cut, and throw them into the cesspool.

The farmers' manure fermented by the villagers themselves, piles, pieces, like graves, and "works" drawn by children.

Don’t underestimate those fertilisers. Those fertilizers that rely on garbage, crop waste, and are made of pig houses in every household or natural or pig processing are the best fertility and can save a lot of fertilizer money.

In the past, if anyone had accumulated more wealth, the pile of fertilisers in the field would be dense and larger. At this time, it would be the best way to show which family is diligent.

Before arable land, spread the piles of compost evenly with iron shovels or manure forks. The more fat you accumulate, it will be thick when it spreads. The more fertile the field will be sufficient in the next year, and the more grain you can feed in the fields.

The next job in the field is to plow the land. This is a huge "project".

Nowadays, every household basically uses hand-held tractors. It is inevitable that some families still use the old method - ox plowing.

What remains in the memories of children during these days of autumn is almost all the boredom of working from sunrise and breathing from sunrise.

So much so in rural areas, children who do not study hard often have a catchphrase: If you don’t study hard, you will only face the loess and back to the sky in the future. Or if you don’t study hard, you will only knock on the rocks. Rocks are wet and hard blocks. Because it affects farming, you must knock, beat, cut, and make the smaller the better.

This saying is about raking the ground during the autumn plowing period and working on flat ground.

After the busy farming season, it is the Mid-Autumn Festival.

In China, the Mid-Autumn Festival on the fifteenth day of the eighth lunar month is given a special meaning. That night, relatives scattered around the world gather together to spend a good night together and eat moon cakes together. They enjoy the full moon symbolizing happiness and fulfillment.

Due to the imbalance of regional economy and urban and rural development, most rural young people leave their hometowns and go to the southeast and other economically developed areas to work and earn money, while rural areas have formed a unique phenomenon of "empty-nest elderly" and "left-behind children".

This phenomenon has caused countless rural families to be unable to enjoy the joy of reunion of their loved ones.

Many elderly and children in the village are looking forward to their sons and daughters-in-law and parents being able to reunite with the Mid-Autumn Festival.

In the traditional Chinese culture of advocating family reunion, we miss our family more during the festival, so the separation of relatives during the Mid-Autumn Festival always makes people feel sad. There is no doubt that compared with urban people, rural people have to endure this torment of parting more.

Every year during the Mid-Autumn Festival, rural people are almost done with their work in the fields, so they should have a good rest and have a wonderful festival.

Whenever this happens, the children often walk around the streets, looking for something delicious.

On the fifteenth day of August, the round and bright moon in the sky can bring people infinite imagination. Therefore, rural people regard the "Mid-Autumn Festival" as the second only to the Spring Festival in the year.

During the Mid-Autumn Festival, the golden wind brings joy, neither cold nor heat, the moon is full and the sky is clear, the heaven and man are united, the family reunion, taste moon cakes, drink and recite poems, and when people enjoy the joy of family, they use "good flowers, full moon, and longevity" to express their happy wishes.

This custom of longing for reunion is precisely the essence of our folk customs that are full of characteristics and humanity, and also reflects the cultural connotation of our nation.

When Sun Gang was a child, like many rural children, he always looked forward to the festival. The Spring Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival were the two most valued festivals in the countryside.

Perhaps it was because my living standards were relatively low at that time, and my family would only improve my life during the holidays.

Maybe it’s the holiday that comes with a holiday, and there will always be some entertainment activities that you can have fun.

Perhaps both.

In short, adults are busy during the holidays. But even after the adults are busy, they will feel relaxed every time they are during the holidays. Of course, the happiest thing is the carefree children in the countryside.

During the Spring Festival, although it is the slack season, I always feel that I am busy every year. Only Mid-Autumn Festival gives people a special joy, a rest in the mood, and a special desire to go. Later I think about it, it seems that it is due to different moods.

Mid-Autumn Festival is both the savings of harvest and the beginning of harvest.

It is said to be saving, but it is because the busy farming season is over. It is said to be the beginning, but because the winter wheat just sown means a bumper harvest in the coming year, which blends the hope of people's inner harvest.

Only those who have experienced rural life experience will have this kind of emotion, mood and deep inner feelings.

Under the round moonlight, the round mooncakes, apples, duck pears, grapes and other fruits can also be eaten.

Under the moonlight, people taste the festival food and talk about the topic of harvest. While enjoying the moon, they miss their relatives in a foreign land. In fact, it is said: "I miss my family every festival."

It's another reunion festival, and Sun Gang has also been making mooncakes a few days ago. Strangely, although the mooncakes they make are not as gorgeous as packaging and only plastic bags, Sun Gang feels that it is much more delicious than the exquisite and gorgeous mooncakes sold in supermarkets that cost one or two hundred yuan per box.

This time, Sun Gang asked the mooncake master to add a ingredient to the mooncake filling - tea, which is the "Penglai Xianzhi" that Sun Gang brought back from Daishan last time.

"It's too sweet to eat a bite, it's too greasy to eat a piece." Many people love and fear the mooncakes sold on the market now.

Mooncakes have been passed down for thousands of years and contain the unique culture and emotions of the Chinese people. The original high-fat and high-sugar flavor no longer attracts people's attention. Today's people prefer coarse grains and low-fat and low-sugar foods that are beneficial to the human body.

As tea has the effects of lowering blood lipids, lowering blood pressure, preventing arteriosclerosis, aiding digestion, and delaying aging, Sun Gang wanted to organically combine the effects of tea with food.

In fact, the best thing is to use new tea, that is, the fresh tea that has just been picked is the best. Sun Gang doesn’t have it, so he uses dry tea to deal with it.

After that, break the mooncakes and smell them, it seems to have the fragrance of tea, which makes it more comfortable and refreshing when eaten. Between the lips and teeth, the tea fragrance is excellent and unfolds for a long time, and the fragrance becomes more fragrant and has a long aftertaste.

Even Sun's mother, who doesn't like sweets, ate several pieces. Fortunately, Sun Gang has vision and made several pounds more this year than in previous years.

On the Mid-Autumn Festival, all the uncles and uncles in the town arrived in the county town. After lunch, Sun Gang started preparing ingredients for the evening. There were many people eating at night, so he must be busy again. Fortunately, he had the help of his aunts and Sun's mother.

At dusk, the strong aroma of vegetables permeates the entire village, with a very festive atmosphere.

The supper ended in a lively atmosphere, and Sun Gang's craftsmanship was once again praised by his relatives.

After dinner, Sun's mother prepared fruit and mooncakes early, and set a table in the yard. As soon as the moon approached the head from Dongshan, she began to offer food. Rural people call it "providing moon". The offering is not limited to the length of time. During the offering, Sun's mother would silently pray and pray for her family to be healthy and have good weather next year.

After the sacrifice was completed, Sun's mother brought all the offerings home, giving everyone fruits and mooncakes.

A group of people were in the yard, chatting about their own ideas, business matters, or life matters, and some family matters.

The night is getting deeper and the sky is getting colder. Everybody in the Sun family cherishes it very much.
