Cherish wheat like gold

I went back to my hometown to collect wheat, and several young people in the village laughed at me: "You are still firm, you are really stubborn!" " I smiled and knew they were jealous of me.

It turns out that they don't think it's worth growing wheat. In recent years, they have planted other crops separately. It leads to market instability and income fluctuation. It was not as cost-effective as growing wheat, so they changed their minds.

Alas! Where do they know my "stubborn old man" feelings for wheat?

In my childhood and adolescence, the economy was backward and there was a shortage of food. People usually used coarse grains and wild vegetables to satisfy their hunger. Only in these traditional major festivals, such as Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival and Spring Festival, can they eat white bread and fish noodles.

10 In the spring of that year, my grandfather was seriously ill. In order to raise medical expenses for grandpa, the family sold very little wheat. On Dragon Boat Festival, there is no noodles at home, so we can't eat noodles. Watching my neighbor's friends eat noodles at home made my mouth water, and I was so angry that I didn't even eat the coarse grain wild vegetable rice cooked by my mother. My father is in a bad mood. Seeing that I was so ignorant, he punched and kicked me.

Every time I think of it, my heart is full of mixed feelings With food in my hand, I don't panic. I have developed the habit of planting wheat every year. I always believe that sowing will yield, and wheat will not deceive me. Moreover, eating your own wheat is both kind and reassuring.

Over the years, in the circle of friends, everyone has been calling me an "old stubborn man" who grows wheat, and I am happy to be such an "old stubborn man" who regards wheat as gold.
