Weishui People? I grew up in Guanzhong, Shaanxi Province. I was fed by corn grits and wheat flour by the Weishui River.
The obvious seasonal changes here, the temperate climate suitable for plant growth, and the fertile Weihe River Plain have jointly created ancient Chencang with vast hectares of fertile farmland and abundant resources and people.
The farmers who have been cultivating this land repeatedly are taking advantage of the reform wind that suddenly comes like a spring breeze overnight, and are running enthusiastically on the bright road of building a new countryside and building a well-off life.
Farmers have caught up with the rapidly developing information age, their horizons have been broadened, and their minds have been enlivened. They have learned science and technology, and worked hard to explore new ways to build a well-off society.
Some of them started poultry and livestock breeding at home, some built vegetable greenhouses to grow off-season vegetables and sell them all over the country, some contracted land to build orchards, some opened stores for wholesale, and some engaged in leasing and transportation.
, some open hotels integrating catering, entertainment and accommodation, and more are construction experts setting up construction engineering teams to contribute to local urban and rural construction? Rural areas have completely changed their poverty and backwardness, abandoning the past.
The miserable days of facing the loess and facing the sky are moving forward at an unprecedented and alarming speed.
When you walk into today's new rural areas, you will see orderly streets, neatly arranged small Western-style buildings, clean and wide cement pavements, and farmyards full of flowers.
The streets in the center of the village have also become prosperous, with numerous shops offering daily necessities, daily necessities, clothing and fabrics, fruits and vegetables, entertainment and catering, etc.
The market is crowded and business is booming.
People are happily shopping for daily necessities, tasting various snacks with great interest, and happily enjoying the satisfaction and joy gained from their own labor.
In the village alleys, some old ladies have returned to their old businesses, and the hand-woven fabrics they have discarded for many years are now thriving again in these days of plenty and leisure.
They used the clean and smooth cement pavement as a handicraft workshop, using long and thin cotton threads of various colors to weave colorful coarse cloths, and then sewed them into bed sheets, using them as fashionable dowries for their daughters.
Coarse cloth sheets are not only colorful and durable, but also embody the mother's family's sincere teachings to their married daughters: first, let the daughter always remember the family motto, not forgetting the traditional virtues of hard work, simplicity, virtuousness and filial piety; second, hope that the daughter can
This unique craft in Guanzhong has been passed down from generation to generation and carried forward.
Some old men were relaxing in the shade of the trees in front of the door.
They were either playing chess in a group of two, playing cards in a group of three, or playing mahjong in a group of four. They all looked happy and relaxed.
Under the leadership of adults, the children happily ran out of the courtyard and came to the cultural and entertainment square in the center of the village, where they each played with their favorite toys.
Some are on the seesaw, some are swinging, some are on the elliptical machine, and some are sitting on swing chairs. The older children are also learning to play table tennis, basketball, chess, and Go with the adults? They are laughing and laughing.
I spent a wonderful and colorful childhood.
Elderly people who love sports also organized themselves. They practiced Tai Chi and aerobics in a corner of the square, performed Yangko and held self-entertainment classes. There were also gateball matches, badminton matches, aerobics competitions, etc. held every three days.
.
The establishment of various cultural venues in rural areas and the popularization of fitness equipment have greatly stimulated farmers' hobbies and enriched their spiritual lives. At the same time, they have also shown us a vibrant and prosperous Peach Blossom Land-style life.
Summer harvest and autumn sowing are the busiest seasons for farmers.
The wheat matured, and the endless fields turned into a golden ocean.
Farmers drove their agricultural vehicles to the fields, filled them with wheat that had just been threshed by the harvester, and then happily transported it home and spread it out to dry on the cement road in front of their homes.
Every household has seven or eight acres of wheat, and it takes less than three or four days for all the wheat to be dried and the grains returned to the warehouse.
Gone are the days when old oxen were required to plow slowly and leisurely for months. Instead, they are replaced by fast and convenient rotary tillers, which can turn over the entire land in just ten minutes, making it soft and thick.
Not missing an inch.
The seeder can spread the seeds evenly in the soil with a moderate depth, which is most beneficial to the development and growth of the seeds.
Corn seeds sprout, grow, and bloom in the soil, and after three months they grow into huge, golden corn cobs.
During the growth period of corn, farmers have to follow the growth of corn to carry out field management, weeding, fertilizing, cultivating soil, watering, all work must not be delayed or lazy.
The hard sweat brings out the joy of harvest. Looking at the corn cobs that are getting bigger and fuller, even if the farmers have put in too much hard work, at this time, they will turn into sweet memories.
In the blink of an eye, three months have passed, and it’s the second harvest season of the year? Autumn harvest.
The farmers peeled the corn cobs back from the fields to expose their golden bodies, tied them together in twos and threes with leaves, and then hung them on the wooden houses that had been set up in advance.
Inside are criss-crossed shelves.)
When the shelves are filled with yellow corn cobs, the farmyard becomes a veritable golden house.
The peeled corn kernels are dried and ground into corn grits. Those crushed into larger particles are called big grits, and those crushed into finer particles are called corn grits.
