A piece of grass, recalling the past of mowing grass

The friend wrote in her article that she planted corn in this field, but due to the hot weather and her having to go to work, in the crop field except for the taller corn, there were only weeds. .

I also interacted with her. If this grassland was forty years ago, I would not be able to walk on this grassland. I would have to let it plow up all the grass!

When I was a child, when I was four or five years old, I went to the fields with adults to learn to cut grass. At the beginning, I used a small vegetable basket to hold grass. After cutting a full basket, I went home and praised my grandfather and others. This makes me work harder when mowing in the future.

At that time, supplies were scarce, and even the grass could not be cut enough to fill the basket.

At that time, every household had several children. It was best if the older children were old enough to go to work and earn work points, while the younger ones could at best take care of younger children at home, and then cut grass for the sheep to eat.

After school, the grass in the field was cut clean, cleaner than shoveling. I was afraid that the grass would grow, and it would be cut as soon as it appeared. .

When I was a child, I would do bad things. I would follow the older children to the red flower meadow and pretend to catch bees. When I saw that no one was around, I would secretly pull a handful of red flowers and hide them under the basket, and then cover them with them. Good grass.

Sometimes I would be caught and reported by my peers. The next day, the teacher would ask me to stand on the wall in the classroom. Most of the people who reported me were male students, so the male classmates and I were at odds with each other.

I remember an interesting thing. There was a girl who was a little older than me in our village. Several girls couldn't cut grass in their own village, so they went to the wheat field in the next village to pull grass. As a result, they were beaten by others. Caught.

The young men held the basket and refused to let them go. The girls refused to accept it and began to scold them. Later, the young man's father came and saw some girls being mean, so he asked the girl's father to come get the basket. He wanted to see which girl was so mean.

The girl refused, so the old man joked that he was so fierce, so be careful not to get married! As soon as the girl heard it, she sang a nursery rhyme that criticized their village: So-and-so’s village is so short that there is no light in the day and no lights at night...I won’t say the next sentence!

This is a song composed by the children because of the long-standing grievance between the two villages over matters in the fields.

After the girl sings, I can’t marry, nor will I marry in your village.

However, this sentence became a joke and a good story. The girl and one of the girls later married to this village, and the girl who cursed married the old man's son. I have been a grandma for several years now.

However, sometimes mowing the grass is quite fast. After school, I grab a handful of rice balls from the pot and walk towards the field with a few children, eating as I go, and when I finish eating, I reach the field. Inside.

Sometimes when I arrive in the field, I ask which direction to mow the grass today? I can no longer go to that place yesterday. I have to worry a lot about mowing the grass every day. If I find a piece of grass, I will mow it quickly and play games on the edge of the field.

Use grass that sheep don’t eat to make a shuttlecock and kick it, and the straps of your shoes will be covered with green juice. If you have fun, you will forget the lessons of being scolded by adults.

Time flies, the grass no longer needs to be cut, and the ground has not been planted for many years. Nowadays, when we see the desolate open space covered with grass, we all think of the grass we had to eat for the sheep when we were children. It really breaks the hearts of us children.

Now that I see the grass in Youyou’s field, it is smooth and smooth. The sheep must like to eat it very much. It is tender and tender. But no one cared about how tender the grass was, and no sheep ate it.
