Chapter 39

September in the countryside is a busy season, but also a hard one!

Every September, the corn, millet, soybeans, and other crops in the field are waiting for people to harvest.

Although a good harvest is a joyful thing, the process of a good harvest is not a pleasant thing!

Take corn harvesting as an example. In rural areas, there are two, no, three methods of harvesting.

One is broken off directly from the corn stalk.This method of harvesting is relatively easy, but there is one thing, walking in the corn bushes, it is inevitable not to be scratched by the leaves of the corn.The scratched skin will be very itchy!Gives you the urge to trample all the corn stalks down.

The second harvesting method is to use a sickle to cut down the corn stalks first, and pave a long road.Then break the corn.However, these harvesting methods are more troublesome. After all, chopping corn stalks with a sickle is also a lot of physical work!It is also a technical activity!

Finally, it is harvested with a corn harvester.To be honest, there are not many people who are really willing to use corn harvesters.Because when the corn harvester harvests corn, all the corn kernels on the top of the corn cob will be broken off and sprinkled on the ground.Can the farmers not feel distressed when they see the corn they have planted so hard for a year being spilled on the ground like this?

Therefore, the second collection method is basically the mainstream collection method in rural areas.This is how Fang Wen's family collects corn.

Fang Wen really doesn't like harvesting corn, it can even be said that he hates harvesting corn.When he was young, his parents asked him to open his pockets.Bags of individual corn cobs are tedious work!Fang Wen often gets tired of filling a few bags.

When he went to high school, although he said that studying was very hard, but every harvest season, he could use the excuse of too much homework to avoid the pain of harvesting corn.

And Fang Wen really felt the hard work of harvesting corn when he was a freshman last year.

At that time, there were no piles of homework, and naturally there was no excuse for refusing to collect corn.I can only obediently follow my parents to the field.

At first he thought breaking corn was a simple matter, isn't it just tearing off the corn husk and twisting off the cobs?
However, when Fang Wen actually did it, he realized that it was not that easy.

Not to mention that some corn husks are tightly wrapped, and it is not easy to tear them off, even twisting the corn cobs takes a lot of effort.

And this is just breaking a corn cob, is there only one corn in the field?That's thousands of corn stalks!

So Fang Wen, who was tired of breaking corn, took the sickle from his father and learned to cut corn stalks.

Cutting corn stalks looks like a very fun thing!However, when you actually do it, you find that it is definitely not easy.Because you not only have to cut down the corn stalks, but also arrange them one by one.Not to mention how much effort it takes to cut the corn stalks, but it is also very tiring to place the corn stalks!
Fang Wen had only cut six rows of ten-meter-long corn stalks, and was so tired that he sat there.

Moreover, this is not the end, the corn cobs are broken off and put into bags, and the bags have to be carried to the side of the road before they can be loaded into the car and transported home!

Carrying corn is definitely the most painful thing of all corn harvesting!

Therefore, whenever the authors of those farming articles wrote about harvesting corn, and said that several people harvested several acres or more than ten acres of corn a day, Fang Wen would call the author an idiot in his heart!It is already very good for four people to harvest one mu of corn a day!
And there are some farming articles about pulling up the corn stalks, Fang Wen laughed so hard at that time!Cutting down the corn stalks is already very tiring, but pulling out the corn stalks is definitely the biggest joke in the world!
If Fang Wen is still the same as before at this time, he will definitely listen to his mother and stay at home obediently, waiting for them to come back.That way the laborious harvesting process can start later.

But now Fang Wen has a strong body and strong strength. Does he still have to stay at home and let his parents work hard in the fields?
Soon, Fang Wen rode an electric donkey and brought Xiaoya to the field.From a distance, Fang Wen saw his mother, Gu Li, picking up corn, while his father was also carrying a bag of corn to the roadside.

Fang Wen quickly ran to his father, Fang Changzhi, and easily took the corn bag from Fang Changzhi's shoulder, "Dad, let me carry it."

Fang Changzhi looked at Fang Wen, was taken aback for a moment, and then said, "Are you Wen Wen?"

"Yes, Dad, you don't know me." Fang Wen said with a smile.

"Yeah, I haven't seen you for more than a month. You have changed so much that I can't even recognize my father." Fang Changzhi said with a smile, obviously seeing Fang Wen like this, he was very pleased.

"Who is this little girl?" Fang Changzhi also spotted Xiaoya.

"This is my little girl. Let's talk about her when we get home. Dad, I'll carry the corn out first." Fang Wen turned around and ran away.And Xiaoya seemed a little afraid of Fang Changzhi, so she also ran out with Fang Wen.

"Slow down, slow down!" Seeing Fang Wen like this, Fang Changzhi ordered repeatedly.Obviously he was worried that Fang Wen would fall.

But will Fang Wen listen?
Seeing Fang Wen like this, Fang Changzhi sighed and shook his head helplessly.

Soon, Fang Wen ran back again.At this time, Fang Changzhi opened his pockets.Gu Li is putting corn in her pocket.

Fang Wen immediately ran over and pretended together, "Mom, why don't you wait for me to come back to collect the corn?"

"What can I do when you come back? You are at most half a laborer. In the end, it's not about me and your dad?" Gu Li stopped what she was doing and looked at Fang Wen, "Your dad said that you have changed a lot. Let me have a look."

Fang Wen immediately stopped what he was doing.

"Well, I've become a lot handsomer, much handsomer than your father." Gu Li smiled and nodded.Which mother does not want her child to be better.Even if she just looks a little better, she will be satisfied.

"He has not only become handsome, he has also grown a lot taller. I just saw that he is as tall as me." Fang Changzhi said.

"Oh, is that so? Let Mom take a look." Gu Li urged.

"What's so interesting about this." Fang Wen said, but also stood up.

Gu Li looked at Fang Wen, "Well, it has indeed grown a lot taller. But it has grown so much in the past half a month, it is really unimaginable."

"Mom, it's okay, isn't it just growing taller? People in their 20s still grow taller! I am 19 years old and taller, maybe I will grow taller! And my strength has also increased a lot. Look!" Fang Wen said, easily picking up the half bag of corn with one hand.

"That's right, since I'm getting stronger, I'll help you carry the corn and let your father rest." Gu Li said with a smile.

"That's for sure, I will do all the physical work at home in the future." Fang Wen said without hesitation.

Seeing Fang Wen like this, Fang Changzhi and Gu Li both laughed.
