(Baonghean.vn) - For many days now, the hot weather has forced farmers in Yen Thanh district to plant rice at night to avoid the heat and to keep up with the season.
 |
| At dusk, the rice fields of Yen Thanh district are covered with bright spots like lanterns. This is the light source emitted by the flashlights of the rice farmers who work at night. |
 |
| Night planting has been going on for almost a week now, when the weather is too hot. When night falls, Yen Thanh farmers bring flashlights and carry young rice seedlings to the field. |
 |
| Mr. Nguyen Van and his wife in Van Thanh commune - Yen Thanh confided: "We have no choice but to plant at night with lamps, because planting like this is very slow and difficult." |
 |
| This is also the time when students are off from school, when parents go to the fields at night, many children also follow each other to the fields. |
 |
| Ms. Nguyen Thi Quy, Chu Trac hamlet, Hoa Thanh commune, lamented: The sun is so intense that almost all of the people's activities have to be done at night. This night planting initiative has been around in Yen Thanh for many years now to keep up with the production season. |
 |
| Many male students take advantage of the summer vacation to go rice planting with their parents. |
 |
| A flashlight is a must-have item when planting at night. With only about 1 square meter of light, people still plant in very straight lines. |
 |
| To keep up with the season, families have to mobilize all members to go to the fields at night. Some people take care of planting, others take care of pulling out the seedlings. |
 |
| Many students still wear their shirts with their badges on to work in the rice fields at night. |
 |
| Night rice transplanting takes place from dusk until around 11pm. At this time, the whole field is bustling with the sound of motorbike horns and the happy laughter of farmers after finishing transplanting their rice fields. In the photo, a couple from Chu Trac Hoa Thanh hamlet happily returns home after finishing their rice field transplanting. |
