In recent days, dozens of women in Phu Lap Hamlet have enthusiastically arranged their housework to go to the fields to harvest and sow rice.

On this occasion, many areas of rice that were sown too densely by households were thinned out; some deep rice fields that had not been planted due to flooding were thinned out and planted tightly by women. Thanks to the cooperation of local women, the rice fields of families in quarantine were all fully planted and soaked, ensuring good rice growth.

The spirit of mutual love of the villagers encouraged the family to feel secure in their treatment.
