Autumn rain in my hometown is coming.
Three days have passed in early autumn and it has been more than five days since I returned to my hometown. Autumn rain came to my house one day earlier than originally predicted, which brought more coolness and satisfaction. It feels good to be 22 degrees. It also brought me memories of decades ago and thoughts on recent observations.
The villagers, like the city people, are looking forward to the autumn rain. People in the city look forward to autumn rain, because the hot summer enters autumn, and the dog days continue, not to mention there is a "tigress" after autumn. How eagerly people look forward to the early autumn rain and the early temperature drop, and people's lives will be more comfortable. For epidemic prevention, it is always more comfortable to wear a mask when the temperature is lower. Guys, it's raining. Historically, wheat was the main grain-producing area here, where wheat was planted and autumn pipes were planted. Only when autumn rain comes and there is water in the field can wheat grow buds and roots in a thousand years, laying a good foundation for next year's bumper harvest. Most of the neighbors in the village have become fruit farmers, and the area of autumn miscellaneous crops is small. It is hoped that autumn rain can save the cost of watering, and also ensure that the applied cattle and sheep manure can ferment and penetrate into the root system of cherry trees to promote slow absorption. People who plant autumn crops certainly look forward to rain, but it is only conducive to crop maturity and must not affect the harvest.
The elders, like the younger generation, are particularly eager for autumn rain. Old people, like autumn rain is a kind of physical and psychological pleasure, let them enjoy it. Old people can't go out in rainy days, so they are busy doing some things at home, such as winding, spinning and farm tools maintenance. Middle-aged people are busy with things that they usually can't take care of, such as electrical failure, water pipe leakage, machine maintenance, debugging, and cleaning up fermented manure piles in the rain. Young people actively get together to brag, drink online and help their children individually. There are still quite a few people lying in bed listening to the rain, quietly dispelling the drowsiness of working for many days. When I was young, besides sleeping late, it was also a pleasure to lie down and read for a while.
Like everyone else, I especially hope for autumn rain. Since some people say that winter is coming, can spring be far behind? I think, without the layered forest in autumn, there would be no collection in winter, and there would be no recovery of everything in spring. Autumn rain sent me away from home to struggle for those years. Today, I went home to entertain myself, and the Ming Dynasty traveled with me to see the world. The village committee's loudspeaker has been broadcasting the news of CCTV, and the Party's rural revitalization strategy and its supporting policies are just timely rain, nourishing people's hearts. Last night, I chatted with my neighbors in the alley. Ji Hongjun, the branch secretary, met me and told me that I had just applied for project funds from the Rural Revitalization Bureau. It is expected that before the end of the year, the existing pavement cement roads will be expanded and the main roads in the field will be hardened. Isn't this the best autumn rain? Natural rain, policy rain for the people, leading people's hearts, the masses are eager to get rich.
It is difficult to judge whether the natural rain in the house is big or small. In the past, except for caves, they were all tile houses. I heard the sound of running water in the channel at the top of the cave. It was a heavy rain, but it took half an hour to hear it. Autumn rain can only hear the dripping sound from the eaves of houses, and it usually takes 20 minutes to hear the dripping sound. Now, just after three or five minutes, there is the sound of running water immediately, the kiln roof has hardened, and most of the houses are colored steel roofs, which will make a sound when it rains. Few people can come to the correct conclusion without leaving home.
The judgment of policy suitability and implementation degree has also undergone major changes. There used to be a relatively perfect statistical system and personnel according to the size of the team, but now there are differences in household management, with strong and weak effects and more data. How to grasp the real situation, judge the effect of the policy, and estimate that the leaders and governments at the township and county levels have to work hard to improve their work style. Only when they leave the fields, enter thousands of households and know the benefits of rainfall can they have first-hand information and make the party's policies take effect in thousands of households. Only when you leave the office door can you draw an accurate conclusion.
Looking at the drops of water falling from the cherry tree across the road in front of the door, looking at the road with water under your feet, touching the branches of the small trees beside you, the early autumn in my hometown, even if it rains, is so cozy and cozy.
Look at everything in front of you, thank you for your good policies, help from heaven, and struggle between people. There will never be a rainy day to do farm work, and it is necessary to pull a cart to send bricks to the county seat. There will never be a scene where Chen Laige puts a rotten sack on himself, puts a rotten plastic paper on the donkey and changes oil from house to house.
Farmers are rich, the countryside is happy, the autumn rain has fallen, and the future is even better!
