Harvest a maximum of 80 acres per day! Calling it "more than 100 manicures, there is a sense of achievement", the manicurist drives the harvester Jiang Xiaona | harvester | sense of achievement
Recently, a 24-year-old girl back to the village to open the video of the harvester caused concern on the Internet. On July 23, Jiang Xiaona, the girl in question, told Beijing Youth Daily that she had been a manicurist in Changzhou for four or five years, and her parents had planted 60 mu of wheat in her hometown. As soon as the wheat harvest is in season, it is very difficult for the villagers to hire harvesters. Sometimes they fall to the ground before they can catch the wheat, and the harvest is reduced. In order to solve this problem, she took the harvester certificate last year and became the only female harvester in her hometown town. In June last year, Jiang Xiaona ushered in the first wheat season. After harvesting more than 300 mu of wheat, she lost 8 jin. "Now I can harvest up to 80 mu of wheat a day, helping my fellow villagers. I feel more fulfilled than doing a 100 manicure."
The only female harvester in town
Jiang Xiaona is 24 years old this year and comes from Liushu Village, Huagou Town, Woyang, Bozhou, Anhui. After graduating from junior high school, she came out to work. Today, she has been a nail artist in Changzhou, Jiangsu for four or five years. Her parents contracted a vegetable plot in Changzhou. Her father planted vegetables and her mother sold vegetables in the vegetable market.
Jiang Xiaona knows that every June is the season for wheat to mature, and it needs to be harvested within three to five days, otherwise the wheat grains will fall to the ground after the mature period. "If the wheat grains that fall into the field cannot be harvested, the grain will be wasted, and the harvest will also be affected. One mu of land may be reduced by 100 jin." However, it was only a few days before the harvest. Not only her family, but also relatives and villagers in the village often failed to hire harvesters to harvest wheat.
Before the wheat season came last year, Jiang Xiaona came up with the idea of opening her own harvester and discussed with her family to buy it. "But my family didn't agree at first. Later, I took the harvester certificate first, and the family agreed to buy a harvester with more than 100,000 yuan."
Jiang Xiaona said, "It's not difficult to open the harvester, unlike driving an ordinary car, the harvester is the rear wheel to control the direction. The harvester certificate also has to test four subjects, theory, reversing, land operation and field operation, of which I hung up once and used a second chance to pass."
After getting the license, Jiang Xiaona became the only female harvester in the town. According to Master Lu, who sells harvesters, he has been selling agricultural machinery in Guoyang for more than ten years, and Jiang Xiaona was the first woman to ask him to buy harvesters. "It took me two days to take Xiao Na to the ground for practical exercises. She has a better understanding and can drive more steadily than some male drivers."
More than 300 mu were harvested in the first wheat season.
The wheat season came immediately after the practical exercises. At the end of May last year, Jiang Xiaona officially went to the fields to collect wheat for the villagers. On the first day, she spent 12 hours harvesting 50 mu of wheat and charged 45 yuan for one mu of land.
Jiang Xiaona said frankly that the first day was the wheat from other people's homes. She was also nervous, and her father and younger brother accompanied her. "I'm afraid of bad harvest and spoiling grain, so the charge is lower than the market price at first."
The first wheat season lasted three or five days. Jiang Xiaona harvested more than 300 mu of wheat and lost 8 jin. She said it was mainly because she got up early, went to bed late, and often neglected to eat. "I usually go to the ground before 8 o'clock and work until more than 3 o'clock in the morning at the latest."
Jiang Xiaona said that the first wheat season after becoming a harvester was extremely hard, and this year it will be better. "Because it always rains this year, the harvester can't go to the ground once it rains, and we have to wait for the wheat and the ground to dry. This year's wheat season lasted about half a month, and I harvested nearly 500 mu of wheat."
I'm proud to help my folks cut wheat.
Since Jiang Xiaona took the harvester certificate, she shared her video of harvesting wheat in her short video account. At first, some people did not believe that she could really open the harvester. "But after two wheat seasons, everyone believed it. A netizen left a message saying that I was proud to see me think of the female tractor driver on the old version of the yuan."
Master Lu told Beiqing newspaper reporters that by the wheat harvest season, Guoyang county has a total of 500 or 600 harvesters, but many of them work across regions and will harvest wheat in other places. Normal machines can harvest more than 100 mu a day at most, and the market price ranges from 50 to 70 yuan per mu, depending on the size of the plot.
In March this year, Jiang Xiaona just got a cross-district work permit, but so far, she has mainly collected wheat in and around the town. "More and more villagers are taking the initiative to find them. I am also charging fees according to the situation. I may also go to other places to collect wheat next year."
Jiang Xiaona, who is a nail artist, can earn 7000 or 8000 yuan a month. But the income from opening the harvester depends on the wheat season, and on a monthly basis, the income is not as good as being a nail artist. "I can harvest 80 mu a day at the earliest now, which can help my parents and villagers. I feel that I have a sense of achievement better than doing a 100 manicure."
When the wheat was harvested, Jiang Xiaona went back to her hometown to turn on the harvester. During the slack, she still managed her nail studio in Changzhou and helped her parents grow vegetables. She told Beiqing Daily that she has two younger brothers, one is 19 years old and the other is 20 years old. They all have their own jobs. Maybe next year, her younger brother will also take the harvester certificate. "This harvester will still need my younger brother to drive it in the future."
