How do farmers spend their time during the slack season?

This is a new trend since the 40th anniversary of reform and opening up. Nowadays, farmers in rural areas do not gamble, drink tea or bask in the sun in their leisure time. This bad habit is very rare in most areas, unless you are really an old farmer, you can play with your children by the way.

Everyone knows that life in the countryside is also very stressful now. If you don't work hard, you won't stand up in the countryside and be looked down upon by others. Rural people will try their best to do a good job in the busy sowing and harvesting season. Although farming can't make much money, it won't waste land. After sowing in summer and harvesting in autumn and planting in autumn, most farmers hoard grain and pile up firewood, leading a leisurely life. Some people who don't go out to work grow vegetables at home, raise chickens and ducks, send their children to school and so on. Farmers are not idle in winter, and most people, old and young, are working hard for the future of their families.

Hard work is the tradition of China people, and everyone knows that backwardness will lead to beatings. Therefore, farmers' friends are still not idle in winter and are working hard for a better life tomorrow!

As a northerner from Shandong, let me tell you something about the north. In winter, we have the following farm work here.

1. Prune the branches of the fruit trees to ensure that the fruit trees will grow better next spring.

2. Fertilize the fruit trees. Winter is the best season to fertilize fruit trees, and the stored fertilizer will yield better next year.

3. Peanut seeds will be peeled at night for planting next spring. PS peanut seeds can not be threshed mechanically, which is easy to reduce fruit yield.

4. Another point is that there is a gate. Three people fight landlords, four people fight for promotion, five people fight royalists, and six people fight enough.

Rural people are so comfortable. When busy, everyone goes up the mountain with picks, and when not busy, they have tea and chat and eat melon seeds.

Compared with spring, summer and autumn, farmers will be more relaxed in winter, especially in the north, where it is too cold and there is not much capable work. For example, when the sun comes out and it's warmer, the most you can do is to cut branches and then apply farmyard manure to the fields.

It's too cold this season. There are many people in the family. Men get together to make tea, chat and play cards. Women keep warm at home, embroider insoles or cross stitch, and have fun with friends and neighbors ... The most important thing in a day is to cook for the whole family.

The countryside in the south may be different from that in the north.
