(Baonghean.vn) - After the Tet holidays, people in Nghe An have been busy going to the fields to take care of rice and vegetables with the hope of a bountiful harvest in the new year.

On the fourth day of Tet, farmers in Thanh Chuong district returned to their daily farming work. Taking advantage of the water, many families rented tractors to plow and prepare for rice planting. Ms. Nguyen Thi Lanh, My Son hamlet, Thanh Yen commune said: "My family has 4 sao of spring rice, in previous years we usually planted before Tet, but this year because the water came late, the seedlings were planted later, so the planting was also later. This morning, when I heard that there was water, I had to hurry to the field and rent a tractor to be on time for the season...". Photo: QA
