Last summer Tuan invited me go to his village in Thai Binh Province with his father.
It was harvest time, so all people there were very busy. The villagers got up very early and go to the fields to cut rice, load it onto buffalo-drawn carts or tractors and drove it home. Tuan's father helped his parents on the farm work. Tuan and I followed his father to go to the fields. There was so many space and I love the vast open space, the fresh air and the feel of freedom in the countryside. We could run around the fields and shout out loudly without disturbing anybody. I have never saw any interesting place like this. In the afternoon, some of Tuan's cousins take us to the fields to fly kites - It's was so exciting!
The next morning, Tuan and I went to the market with his grandmother. There were many interesting thing there. Locals sell their home-made products and many fresh fruits such as bananas, oranges, apples and they also sold animals such as chickens, geese, ducks, cats, dogs and pigs. I enjoyed the atmosphere there.
The trip to the countryside gave me my first experience of farm work: cutting rice, dry rice, planting vegetables, collecting potatoes. It's really unforgettable!
