They said that they are harvesting spring corn to sow summer-autumn corn in time, so they cannot stay home to "avoid the heat". Photo: Thai Hien |

| After 11 am, the sun was scorching the road surface, but Ms. Cao Thi Van, block 1B, Anh Son town, still had to try to carry all the cement. Ms. Van shared: Because she did not have a stable job, she has been a porter for 7 years now... From morning to noon, she followed this truck to carry cement from one store to another in the town area, and she also carried over 30 tons, earning nearly 200,000 VND. Although it was very tiring, if I took a day off, they would call someone else, and I would lose the business, so I tried to work hard. Photo: Thai Hien |
