Cutting grass is a strange job for me, a middle-aged farmer. Most of the lush wheat straw beside the tree ditch is soft and thick on the ground, and the sharp blade of the new sickle is difficult to hold; There are many places mixed with camel thorns and xanthium sibiricum, which will make you accidentally prick it. You have to carefully pick it for a long time before you can pull it out. Although I had the experience of cutting wheat many years ago, it is useless here. For most young people who grew up in cities, mowing grass with a sickle is a completely new attempt. After a few cuts, they entered a period when their arms were sore and their hands could not hold the sickle. After all, manual labor is different from mental labor. Without basic training, certain skills and considerable physical strength, we can only look at the ocean and sigh. Therefore, for many young people's fantasy of "putting some oil on their bodies and setting a fire", I understand their behavior of standing up after a few cuts.
However, about five hours of physical labor can still show everyone's attitude of sweating in the face of difficulties. Except for us middle-aged "old people", most young people are facing the same situation: it is quite hard to do it. However, different people always have different answers to the same question. Some people can always touch others. They can't do it very well, but they don't hide or hide. They try to satisfy them, cut them bit by bit, and persist when they are tired. Especially some lesbians, their patience and hard-working spirit far exceed those of some men who look strong. Others always make people feel despised. They are smarter than people anywhere. They talk more than they do, and stand and watch more than they do. They are young, but they are afraid of sweating. They don't work and want others to think that they are not idle. Cutting grass for a few hours, although short, can also detect a person's basic character and quality. Gold can shine everywhere, but chaff will be blown away by the wind everywhere. People, not necessarily who is smarter than who, but who can be more practical and more practical.
In manual labor, some people avoid it and some people are smart. I think this is not just a personal problem, but a social phenomenon. The main reason for despising manual labor is that the value of manual labor is too small, and manual workers are mostly in a humble position and at the bottom of society. The main representatives of manual labor are migrant workers and farmers. Judging from the status of farmers in rural areas and the value of ordinary manual workers, few people can aspire to it. The deeper reason is the principled attitude of doing things and being a man. People who are down-to-earth and conscientious rarely despise others, even a cleaner and a sweaty migrant worker. Only people with defects in life can divide people into many levels, with the same attitude and the same attitude. The differences between people are generally reflected in small things; The height compared with others is also in an attitude.
The reason why we wash our souls with sweat is because it can test our hearts, our attitude towards life and our ability and character. Working once a year always gives people some new ideas and new inspiration. In this sense, I especially cherish this opportunity.
Labor, labor, the basic activity of creating the world, is too important for human beings, and it is too important for us to know the world and experience life in today's pampered days.
