| Despite the cold weather and drizzle, farmers in Bac Thanh commune are still rushing to the fields to plant rice. |

| Around noon, the families brought their rice and food and ate right by the rice paddies. They had been working since dawn and were only now getting a break. |
 |
| Raincoats and sacks were "repurposed" to create makeshift meals. |
 |
| Bringing homemade meals to the fields during planting or harvesting has been a tradition among farmers in Yen Thanh district for decades. The purpose is to ensure adherence to the planting and agricultural calendar, while also increasing productivity and efficiency for the crop season. |

Ms. Nguyen Thi Thao from Hamlet 1, Bac Thanh Commune, said that although eating in the fields wasn't as fancy as at home, everyone enjoyed it together, and after eating, they immediately went back to work. |
