西北农村,有种古老的季节工,这就是麦客。每年夏麦成熟,一批由精壮男劳力组成的割麦队伍,由东向西,随着地亩的渐次金黄,他们便像逐波赶浪一样帮劳力缺少的农家收割。割麦的时间性强,不但要防过熟掉粒,而且要抢晴天,及时割完,减少损失。凡是地块稍多的农家,大多要雇用麦客,这批赶场人不愁没活干,他们与麦主一样心急火燎,气也不歇,一家接一家。麦客大多是小麦成熟较晚的山区农民,出外不误自家的农时。割麦是最重的农活,但也是麦客吃得最好的季节。两头摸黑,一日数顿,虽累却欢。农业丰收,使城市不再束紧裤带。城市也有季节工,这就是烧暖气的的临时雇佣人员。如今,那种家家生火、户户冒烟的烤火炉很少很少了,不但机关、厂房,就连职工宿舍也全是暖气设备,清洁,安全,温暖如春。暖气工中,绝大多数是冬季休闲的青壮年农民。他们犹如麦客,虽然不从事割麦等农事劳动,任务也不像抢夏一样紧迫,但同样是帮急解难的活路,是短工性质的帮客,是最为诚实下苦的劳动者。他们收获的是温馨、康宁。透过书房的窗户,我便能居高临下地看到距离百十米远的院内暖气房。我常看到民工在露天煤场 Northwest rural areas, an ancient seasonal workers, this is wheat off. Every year, the summer wheat grows maturely. A group of wheat cutters, consisting of strong men and women, run east to west. As the acres grow gradually golden, they are able to reap the help of labor-deficient farmers like chasing waves. Cutting wheat strong time, not only to prevent over-ripening grain, but also to grab sunny, cut in time, reduce losses. For those farmers who have slightly larger plots, most of them are hired for malting. Those hurrying drivers are anxious and do nothing. Most of the wheat farmers are late mature mountain farmers in wheat, go out without their own agricultural time. Cutting wheat is the heaviest crop, but it is also the best season to eat wheat. Black on both ends, the number of Dayton Day, though tired but Huan. Agricultural harvest, so that the city no longer tighten their belts. There are also seasonal workers in cities, which are temporary employees who burn their own air. Nowadays, there is very little or no smoke furnace for every household and smoking. Not only the offices and workshops, but also the staff quarters are all heating appliances, which are clean, safe and warm like spring. Heating workers, the vast majority of young and middle-aged farmers in winter leisure. They are like Mai Ke, although not engaged in wheat and other agricultural work, the task is not as urgent as rush summer, but also to help solve the problem, is the short-hand nature of the help, is the most honest hard worker. The harvest is warm, Corning. Through the study of the window, I will be able to see the distance from the hundred meters away from the hospital heating room. I often see migrant workers in opencast coal yard
