At night, going to the fields to pull out rice seedlings and plant rice requires light. People use many types of lights: motorbike lights, handheld flashlights, rechargeable lights, headlamps... To create a cheerful atmosphere, phones are also turned on to play cheerful music. Some people go to work in the afternoon with palm leaves to block the sun.

Mr. Nguyen Van Ba ​​(55 years old) in Truong Linh hamlet, Xuan Tuong commune shared: His family has 4 sao of rice fields. For the past few nights, he and his wife have been out in the fields pulling up rice seedlings and planting at night. Pulling up "open" rice seedlings does not require shaking or beating like pulling up mud seedlings. After pulling, they just need to be tied into small bundles with straw. Photo: Huy Thu
Many people go to pull rice seedlings at night, working until 1-2am. When they have pulled a certain amount of seedlings, they put them in bags, carry them to the shore and transport them home by motorbike or cart. Photo: Huy Thu
Many couples take advantage of the time to finish pulling the seedlings and then put them on the truck to go to the field to plant. Doing two jobs in one night (pulling the seedlings and planting rice) is a bit tiring, but the farmers still try their best to do it before the sun rises. Photo: Huy Thu
According to farmers, night planting is as "comfortable" as pulling rice seedlings at night. However, because you can only see in a narrow space, night planting is often not as straight as day planting. During this hot season, depending on each family's circumstances, they decide to work all night or just work part of the night, then go home to sleep, and wake up around 3:00 - 3:30 a.m. to continue working. Working at night during the harvest season is an effective way for farmers to avoid the sun. Photo: Huy Thu
