There Are Voices on the Shore at Dusk
General Fiction黄昏岸边说声有
Chen Jianming
My story may be about a good harvest. It is not a bumper harvest of summer grain crops, but a bumper harvest of autumn crops. Due to climate and geographical reasons, my uncle's place is a single-season planting area with one crop a year. It's called adapting to local conditions, and grains are no longer mixed. Sorghum, soybeans, millet, sweet potatoes, yam eggs, including pumpkins and winter melons are no longer planted. People have all planted jiaozi. The past few years have been a bumper harvest of jade seeds. Harvesting jade seeds seems to be easy, but it is not. Unlike wheat, which is bought directly by grain dealers, you have to cut it down and then break it. The broken jade sticks are carried on carts and carried home. They are first stored in bags woven from various thorns and stored in the yard. The small courtyard is completely occupied by the jade plant stems. What you see in front of you is not only the dark jade plant stems, but from a small perspective, it is synonymous with a year of oil, salt, soy and vinegar; from a large perspective, people also count on it for weddings, funerals, and houses.
