I miss the life of herding cattle in my hometown. Tell me about it.

After 70, I quickly ran to five. It's not easy to come all these years. How many people are still suffering from the old and the young, and they still have mortgages. I always want to breathe a sigh of relief, but I'm really worried about debt, which is even harder when I get older.

Looking back suddenly, I suddenly found that I had come a long way, from rural to urban, from one city to another, not forgetting my hometown, but staying away from my hometown for life.

Who doesn't run while crying. From the days of poverty, it has gradually become a family with a house and a car, and some people have become rich.

What is happiness? When I was living a carefree life, I suddenly asked such a question, searched hard from my memory, and suddenly found myself missing the days of herding cattle after 70 years old.

At that time, I was still a child, but "the children of poor families are in charge early", and I have long been the "assistant" of my parents at home. I remember that when I came back from school, the first thing I did was not to do my homework, but my parents said, "Hurry up and feed the cows, feed the pigs, cut wood and transplant rice ..." It seems that there will always be endless farm work. If I stop, I will have no food.

Of course, the happiest thing is to herd cattle, because it is relatively simple. Just lead the cattle and walk slowly from one hilly area to another. The fields are full of weeds and there is a slight wind, and everything is so comfortable. You can also take a book, sit on the ridge and read it, and then look up every once in a while to see if the cow has gone far.

You can also talk to the cow and ask if it is full. Do you want to go back early? Of course, cows are also people. Sometimes when they are full of food and drink, they will go back early. They remember the way they came and their cowshed.

Sometimes you can do it right while grazing cattle and chopping wood. If more than a few people herd cattle together, we can also play games together, and regard the venue as our playground, which is another kind of fun.

In fact, herding cattle is not always so leisurely, because cows also like to fight, play in the water and run wild. Cattle fight, we can only hide far away. We are really afraid of "hurting the innocent". When I was young, I could only go to the village to shout for adults. You are worried that cows will fight and run around, and you will lose them or hurt their cows. This is no small matter. You know, the value of a cow is equivalent to a family's income for half a year.

Not everyone is worried about cattle fighting and getting hurt. Many children, watching the cows fight from a distance, shouted "Come on". I think this scene is so wonderful that it is simply a rare "news event".

Sometimes, the cows are very naughty. As soon as they leave, they run into the river and swim to the other side of the river for a few laps, making the herdsmen "gnash their teeth". But you can't lose the cow, you can only wade across the river, or walk a long way across the bridge. Those who ride on the backs of cows and play the flute can cross the river with them, which is not so real, because that is art, not real life. Many cows also have a "bull temper" and can't ride casually.

If people stay with cows for a long time, they will have feelings. In spring, the cow was tired of plowing in the field, so the owner felt distressed and asked the children at home to send a handful of grass as a reward.

People born after 70 also cut cattle grass. In spring, there are weeds everywhere, but we always choose the most tender grass and the freshest grass. Miscanthus is the favorite of cattle. It tastes sweet. You can eat a lot in one breath. I'll rub it on you after eating. I hope to have some more.

It is difficult to herd cattle. In the special winter, it is freezing and there is little grass in the field, so it is difficult for cows to eat. Therefore, we have to stay in the cold wind for several hours. We can't stand the cold hands and feet, so we run hard and secretly ignite the weeds in the field. At that moment, we forgot all the cold.

Most people born after 70 were born in the countryside. At that time, every family was poor. But the days I remember are all happy. Now that I think about it, I miss the toys at that time. I can make them myself. Miss the sweet potato rice at that time and eat a big bowl in one breath; Miss the days of pulling pig grass, and hope that pigs will grow faster while pulling; I miss the wild fruits in the mountains. ......

After running for 70 years, did you let the cow go? Remember that old cow in my hometown? However, in the present hometown, there are almost no scalpers, but more iron oxen. The happy time of herding cattle has always stayed in the depths of memory and gradually faded away. ......
