Missing those years when we could still meet

"Oh my heavens, why are they turning green so fast?"

"You show-off, they got the notice and went hometo harvest wheat, and if you don't hurry you'll be groping in the dark."

Soon you will see

In the fields of rural Henanthe bustling scene of wheat harvest

"With grain in hand, the heart is not anxious." As a major grain-producing province nationwide, our Henan has made a huge contribution to safeguarding national food security.

In June on the Central Plains, wheat waves roll; 81 million mu of wheat turns from green to yellow from south to north, harvested in turn, and everywhere gives off the fragrance of new wheat. On the vast boundless fields of Henan, large and small, combine harvesters are busy in the fields.

With a combine harvester, it cuts and collects at the same time, saving worry and effort!

The scene of harvesting wheat in my hometown when I was a child,

do the friends from rural areas still remember it?

The editor takes you back to the scene of harvesting wheat many years ago,

to look at the familiar scenery of my hometown...

Twenty years ago

In rural Henan there were almost no automatic harvesters

let alone today's combine harvesters

People all cut wheat with sickles like this

After cutting the wheat, it still had to be pulled to the threshing floor

At this time, if you had livestock you used livestock; if not, you had to use manpower

Later, tractors gradually came into use

Once it was pressed well, the floor had to be cleared,

These are the pitchforks and rakes used for clearing the floor!

The wheat threshing floor of childhood

A busy place for adults, a joyful place for children

If today's children have inflatable bouncy castles

then the wheat straw stacks were our bouncy castles

Without restraint, without fear, playing hide-and-seek, not afraid of bumps and bruises

Stack the wheat straw without grains into wheat straw stacks

Building a wheat straw stack that is both stable and beautiful also takes skill

Next comes winnowing

While there is wind

Use a wooden shovel to toss the threshed wheat grains into the air against the wind

Use the wind to blow away chaff and other debris

Before the wheat goes into the bin, it still has to be dried,

otherwise it will get bugs.

Finally, it is bagged and transported home.

When resting, pour a bowl from the old kettle, sweet to the taste

The wheat straw stack with no one playing around it seems especially lonely.
