Small neighborhood afternoon

The dry sun bends the alley
I am lost in the afternoon at the end of the distant sky
Sweating to nurture green soil
Fertilizing rice, potatoes, squash, melons, and eggplants

Acidic lowland fields are a joy to cultivate.
Sunbathing, washing away dew, treading in mud
Rice with heavy grains is a converted crop.
Electricity lights up the peaceful cultural village

New countryside life also has many changes
Less poverty, the village is different from before
He was busy going to and from many countrysides.
Hold him back every time he visits home.
