That day, the circulation of storm No. 11 caused an exceptionally heavy rain over a large area, causing many fields to be submerged in water. At dawn, more than 100 officers and soldiers of my unit quickly mobilized to My Phuc village, Tien Luc commune to support people in harvesting rice. Upon arrival, we immediately divided into groups according to each field to harvest the rice submerged in water. The white water covered everything, mud stuck to our clothes, but the soldiers' hands still nimbly swung the sickle and tied the bundles. The sound of the sickle clattering mixed with the sound of wading in the water, mixed with the calls to each other, the hearty laughter... creating a rustic melody on a stormy day, simple but full of humanity.

Most of us come from farming families and are familiar with rice cutting, threshing, and drying. When we go to the fields, everyone is united and tries their best to help the people preserve each precious grain of rice from their homeland. Looking at the bags of rice being carefully packed and quickly loaded onto trucks and brought to the yard to dry in the sun, we feel relieved and proud to have contributed a small part to protecting the crops. Working through the afternoon, forgetting all fatigue, the soldiers and the people of My Phuc village harvested dozens of hectares of rice, saving the entire field from the risk of total loss.

Those simple yet noble gestures continue to glorify the image of Uncle Ho's soldiers in peacetime. Because anywhere, in any circumstance, soldiers are always ready to serve the people, keeping the loyal military-civilian relationship as the heart of the land and fields of the homeland./.
