Spring has come, and farmers are working hard in the fields, sowing corn seeds in black soil. After several spring rains, corn seedlings grow sturdily in the sun like new "bamboo shoots". Soon, the "bamboo shoots" gradually grew taller and pulled out long and wide leaves, like green ribbons.
The hot summer has come, the corn has grown taller, and there are green cornfields everywhere, like a neat square. Corn is slender and elegant, delicate and straight. The breeze blows and the corn is green. What a beautiful picture! At the end of July and the beginning of August, corn began to head and blossom. My mother told me that the male flowers grow on my head, but I can't see the petals. When there is wind, I only see pale yellow pollen falling down, which has a clear fragrance. Female flowers grow at the waist, slender as silk, and hundreds of filaments fall from each earlobe, like beards. Grow up to be as long as a stick, and pearl-like corn grains grow on the stick and gradually become full. Green corn can be eaten, eating corn just out of the pot, sweet and delicious, eating this ear and wanting to eat that ear.
Golden autumn has come and the corn is ripe. The corncob is covered with red tassels, and the corn shows a golden face from the layers of wrapped skin. The farmer's uncle happily came to his corn field to collect corn. Car after car, the yard has become a hill, another bumper harvest year!
When the cold winter comes, people will cut off the corn stalks and cook with fire. In my hometown, it is the main fuel for people to keep warm, and the rice cooked with it is particularly delicious. It's so comfortable to sleep on a warm kang! Green corn stalks can also be used as feed for livestock. Corn is a treasure.
I love the specialty of my hometown-corn.
