Years of educated youth-the story of Dadianzi mowing grass

In the south and west of our village camp, there is an endless Dadianzi. It should be said that there was a big meadow, but Dianzi at that time could not be called a meadow. Due to perennial drought, land salinization and desertification. From a distance, norikoyamaguchi looks like a bald sore, one white and one white. At the southern end of the shop, I once wrote that there was a small river ditch that dried up all the year round. Only in summer can a little water flow from the upstream or rain from the sky. According to the older generation, "In the 1950s, there were no grasslands here, but wolves. Generally, I dare not go out at night. " This statement sounds irrelevant to the current situation. Because I can't imagine the image of grassland.

The above introduces the situation of Noriko. Even so, useful plants still grow in the shop. It is called "Artemisia capillaris" locally. As shown in the figure below:

In the slack season, it is the time when Artemisia capillaris grows. Artemisia capillaris is a plant that is not afraid of drought and salinity. Even if nothing grows on saline-alkali land and the soil is barren, it can grow very vigorously. According to the investigation data, the scientific name of Artemisia ordosica is Suaeda salsa. Because of its wide distribution, it is called differently in different places. If there's a man named Tiger Tail and Monk Head. When I go to the countryside, a knot in one's heart is best called "pig's tail", but unfortunately it's not called that. The reason why we mow grass in Dianzi is to mow mugwort leaves. Every year, the production team cuts a lot of mugwort, cooks it and rettes it for feed. I only remember feeding pigs. Maybe other animals ate them, too. I don't remember.

In order to write this, I specially checked the use of chrysanthemum morifolium, but I didn't expect it to be a natural and pollution-free green food. "? Suaeda salsa has good commodity, beautiful plant shape, elegant name of "Emerald Coral", fresh and nutritious stems and leaves, special seafood flavor and good taste. It can also be used as a medicine for treating diseases such as indigestion and fever. The tender stems and leaves of Suaeda salsa can be eaten fresh or dry. "

It's really a long experience. At that time, none of us thought that anyone could eat it, and it was still a first-class product It must be expensive to eat now.

On the day of cutting Artemisia, we left the village with tools and walked about four or five miles west. Artemisia argyi grows well there, half as high as others. There is relatively little saline-alkali land here, that is, less white land. The tool for cutting chrysanthemum is similar to a sickle, much longer and wider than the sickle. And especially long villagers call it a "trowel".

This is a photo of Baidu. The man with this tool in his hand is an old man. It is called a screwdriver. Sweep with this tool, and you will cut off a large area of grass. Therefore, people are far apart at work. At first, we educated youth just put away the cut chrysanthemum and put it on. After a long time, I am eager to try. So, I took the trowel from my good fellow villager and gave him a rest. I didn't expect him to laugh at me and say, "Will you?" If you can't cut Artemisia, you can't cut your legs. "I begged him to teach me how to be sincere. So hold hands and tell me how to use it. After seeing his demonstration, I had a good idea and told him to stay away. I started waving the screwdriver according to the method he taught me, and I started waving it very badly. With a wave of my hand, I put the tip of the knife into the ground and shouted to him, "Raise the tip of the knife, hold the drill bit and wave it again!" "

After a few times, I knew what I was doing, so that I could relax my nervous mood and start my career easily according to the method taught me. Ah, don't say it's really easy with a wave. You can't worry. As long as you relax your arms one by one and send them along the trowel, you will cut off a large piece with a swish. I'm so happy that I can use a screwdriver. After cutting one piece, I am proudly preparing to cut another. The master quit, so he came and took my shovel and wouldn't let me dig any more. The trowel is a precise tool. He won't let me move if I don't go near him. I have experienced how to use a cymbal knife.

In September this year, I returned to the village where the collective households were located. I wrote the article "providence-she chose a man Xiao Fang in the city" earlier, and several of our classmates just went to her house to have a look. I especially want to meet this Dadianzi, but this party has done something earth-shattering in my opinion. The vast "alkali Bala" land in the southwest of the village makes this Xiao Man house a fertile field for growing crops. The once endless Dadianzi no longer exists. There is a large area of cornfield behind, and you can't see the cornfield at the edge. It is said that he led people for a whole year and finally got what he wanted! So, I think he is also a stranger for three days, so I should be impressed! Haha, his image is no longer stealing the beauty of my classmates, but a hero who has fought against nature and made achievements!
