Chapter 7 reward of the land

Walking through the countryside, I saw a farmer working hard to hoe the field.It's been a long time since I saw anyone digging with a hoe, so I sat on the ridge of the field and watched the farmers dig. The farmer's thick and sturdy upper body is naked, and the way he holds the hoe high, against the light, looks like a bronze sculpture, which is really beautiful. He didn't care about me looking at him, and he just hoeed the field and prepared the field all the way to the ridge. I saw that his whole body was soaked with sweat, even his trousers were wet. He said to me kindly: "Dig it, I’m going to plant peanuts.” I said, “It’s been a long time since I’ve seen anyone with a hoe, and now the whole land is being plowed with a plow!” The farmer said, “This field is only a small piece, and digging with a hoe is a big job. That's it." "Would you like to take a break?" I asked. "It's good to take a break." The farmer came over with a hoe on his shoulder, reached out to the grass behind me, took out a big teapot, and poured me a cup of herbal tea. "Looking at it in a month, you can see that the potato bushes are all green, and it will look good at that time." The farmer thought about the picture a month later, and said: "Our grandfather said, Shangdi will not lie, you As long as you plant a plant, it will grow something. The earth is the same as human beings. If you give it love and respect, it will repay you, bloom for you, and bear fruit for you. That's why our grandfather said: "eat fruit

If you are a child, you worship the head of the tree; when you eat rice, you respect the hoe. " I was very moved when I heard the farmer's words. From then on, I walked on the land and saw the rewards of the land everywhere. I saw that every flower has the heart that the land rewards me.
