2012年初夏,我回到了久违的家乡。外公说,你闲得发慌,不如来帮我干些农活。少时,我对农活并不陌生。而今,我对农活竟有了新奇的感觉。一大早,外公便揣着种子出门了,说是去种丝瓜。我也欣然起床,随外公来到田间。他在地里挖了坑,播了种,又埋上土。外公对我说,这个时节的天气真好,适宜播种,庄稼可以说一天一个样。一天一个样?我对他的话表示怀疑。外公说,你别不信,到明天,种子就饱满了,胀开了。我有心检验这句话的真实性,第二天一早便往田 In the early summer of 2012, I returned to my hometown. My grandfather said that if you are in a hurry, you might as well help me to do some farm work. When I was young, I was no stranger to farm work. Now, I have a novel feeling about farming. In the early morning, my grandfather took the seeds and went out, saying that it was a kind of loofah. I also happily got up and went with my grandfather to the field. He dug a pit in the ground, planted it, and buried it. My grandfather told me that the weather in this season is really good. It is suitable for sowing. The crop can be said to be the same as a day. One day, I doubt his words. My grandfather said, “Don’t believe it. By tomorrow, the seeds will be full and they will open.” I am eager to test the veracity of this sentence and go to the field the next morning.
