land preparation
In late winter and early spring, the couple came to the field to plough and prepare the soil to start the new year's spring plowing. The main operations of land preparation include shallow ploughing, ploughing, subsoiling ploughing, harrowing, paddling, repression, leveling, padding, ridge raising, and furrowing.
hoeing
After the wheat in the play emerged, the couple hoeed wheat seedling . Hoeing is the hoeing and loosening of wheat fields, which can enhance the ventilation conditions of the soil, help to increase the soil temperature, promote root development, and accelerate the green growth of wheat seedlings.
threshing
After the summer harvest, the harvested wheat needs to be threshed. In order to save money, the couple in the film use a donkey to pull the stone mill to grind and hull the wheat ears. At the same time, turn the wheat with a wooden fork, which will allow the wheat to husk more fully.
Raising the Field
After threshing, the couple raised the field on the wheat field. The raising field is to spread the grains, beans, etc. with agricultural tools such as wooden shovels, and use the wind to remove the shells, leaves and dust, and separate clean grains.
ploughing the ground
After summer was over, the couple drove their donkeys to plough the ground. After the previous crop is harvested, the land needs to be tilled before new crops can be sown.
raking the ground
With iron leading the donkey, Guiying sat on the rake and ploughed the land. Harrowing is a type of topsoil tillage with harrows, usually after ploughing, before sowing, or in early spring to conserve moisture. It has the functions of loosening the soil, retaining water and increasing soil temperature.
Replanting
After they harvested wheat, they also replanted jadeMeter. Multiple cropping is a planting method in which more than one crop is planted and harvested a year on the same arable land. There are multiple cropping methods such as three crops in two years, two crops in one year, and three crops in one year.
Fu Miao
After the heavy rain and wind, the immature corn appeared lodging. Lodging can reduce the yield and quality of crops and make harvesting difficult. In order to reduce losses, the couple came to the field to help seedlings. In the film, Ma Youtie helped the fallen corn up, and then stepped on the roots of the corn to compact the soil. In order to increase resistance to lodging, he also tied the leaves of two adjacent corn plants in a knot.
Selling grain
The story happened around 2010. The grain dealer counted Ma Youtie's 1,824 jins of wheat as 1,700 jin, and 3,997 jin of corn deducted water as 3,800 jin. In the end, the grain dealer only gave Ma Youtie 3,974 yuan. The income is 3970 yuan, which is 0.72 yuan per catty of grain. Even going to the canteen to owe money, deducting the cost of agricultural materials such as seeds, chemical fertilizers and pesticides, Ma Youtie's net income from grain is 2,400 yuan a year. In 2010, the purchase price of my country's national wheat market was 0.9 yuan/catties for the third-class national standard, and the purchase price of temporarily stored corn in some regions was about 0.89-0.91 yuan/catties.
People's Net commented that art comes from life, and "Hidden in the Dust" is a prologue, not a final chapter. Not only those who have made great achievements will be remembered by history, and the society needs to give them undifferentiated care, such as Youtie and Guiying, who rarely appear on the screen.
"Hidden in the Dust" does not use a grand narrative, but uses the local dialect of Zhangye, Gansu, to convey the hard but hopeful life of two "partners" who are close to each other. The little donkey, the swallow that just brooded, and the chick hatched from the light bulb were the "good days" they were looking forward to. What is impressive is that every time there is an iron, the character "囍" will be reposted after moving, and he will ask Gui Ying if the "囍" has been hung up. ". In fact, I am looking forward to better days in the future. This realistic idyllic scene composes a beautiful chapter of love in a frame of emotional shots. At a certain moment, this film awakens our inner conscience, or triggers new thinking about the current life, and inadvertently gives us ordinary people the power to live a strong life and pursue a better life.
