Barnyard grass's password prose

When I was doing farm work in the village in my youth, I often had a question: Why do farmers care for crops such as seedlings and vegetables carefully, and they turn yellow, wither or even die if they are not careful, and those weeds, no matter what you cut, pull, hoe, kill and sun, will be exhausted by 18 means, and they can't stop their "high spring breeze".

Especially for barnyard grass in the field, there is a pesticide called quinclorac, which is sold in the market and used to deal with it, which can be regarded as the exclusive "honor" of all weeds. This shows how stubborn and fierce this guy named "barnyard grass" is.

Barnyard grass, also called barnyard grass, is the most common weed in farmland. There are two main sources of barnyard grass in rice fields, one is barnyard grass seedlings that have grown when barnyard grass seeds fall into the field in the first year, and the other is barnyard grass seedlings that are caught in the seedlings when pulling out seedlings from rice fields.

1982 I was 19 years old when the production responsibility system was first implemented in rural areas. I didn't go to school, so I had to farm at home. I remember what bothered me the most was this weed called barnyard grass. At that time, every family planted double-cropping rice in the morning and evening. Because it has just been farmed, farmers are highly motivated and intensively cultivated. They are afraid that their fields are worse than others, and they will lose face if the harvest is not good. In this way, the task of weeding in the field at home fell on me who no longer went to school.

The first step is to clear barnyard grass in the rice field. The rice fields at home are four or five minutes wide and divided into compartments of about one and a half meters. I picked barnyard grass section by section and pulled it out one by one. A box of more than ten meters of seedlings needs to be pulled out on both sides to reach it. Every time I walk to the edge of the ridge, I almost have to take one in each hand and throw it on the ridge. After returning home, you can carry it back to your fish pond to feed the grass, or wash it to make pig grass.

It seems easy to pull barnyard grass, but it is actually very difficult. The body is always hooked, and it hurts when I am tired at the end of the day. Those newly grown barnyardgrass, as thin as silk thread, are sandwiched among the dense seedlings, which makes people feel exhausted and dizzy.

When it comes to intertillage, we should cultivate with our feet and look for barnyard grass with our eyes. Sometimes, almost all the grains are occupied by barnyard grass. Under the crazy growth of barnyard grass, the original seedlings under barnyard grass have been occupied by pigeons, leaving only one or two short seedlings, which are pitifully dying. I tried to pull up barnyard grass, because the root system of barnyard grass is particularly developed, deep and wide, and it often takes a lot of effort to pull it up completely. Inadvertently, I pulled it out and left a few in it, which soon grew into a lush barnyard grass.

It stands to reason that after these two "strike hard", barnyard grass in rice fields has disappeared, if not disappeared, it should be very few. No! When the ears of rice turn yellow, you will inadvertently find that a towering barnyard grass suddenly floats on a pile of full and drooping rice. At this time, it is no longer just barnyard grass, but has grown a long ear of barnyard grass, holding its head high like a winner, swinging its head from side to side in the breeze and singing the ballad Sarah.

What about me? You can only accept a scolding from your father or mother as a loser. "You lazy thief, have you been there before?" Pulling barnyard grass every day is still so big! "Seeing that I was at a loss, my mother kicked me hard and shouted," Don't scrape it off quickly! ""I quickly picked a taro, threw the sickle into the basket, hung it on the pole, and played a' sweeping war' in the rice field in frustration.

Go to the field to cut the ears of barnyard grass. If the barnyard grass ear is green and not ripe, then there is no problem. You can put them in the basket. Once cooked, the sickle can't stand it. As long as you grasp it, the barnyard grass ears will scatter, countless barnyard grass particles will fall like rain, and finally only a bare barnyard grass stem will be cut off.

The barnyard grass seeds that fall in the field are the inexhaustible barnyard grass soldiers who continue to wait for the rice fields in the next season! Whether it is flooding, wintering or the last plowing, it can't stop the madness of these "barnyard grass soldiers" in the second season.

The humbler things are, the more energetic they are. I believe this, and I also believe that many flowers and plants are domesticated, but they are not as long as wild ones.

However, the problem comes again. Domestic varieties are all wild, why did they become delicate later? Such as eggplant, pepper, flowers in the greenhouse.

Perhaps the password to solve the problem is hidden in the barnyard grass. If barnyard grass is planted like rice, will it become a "weed"?

I know it takes skill to be a "weed", because it has no worries, it is only facing extinction, so at least it must learn to be strong.
