In the Fields (Part 2)
A Day in the Life of a Farmer — weeding, humming, and neighborly chat.
早上的田里很热闹。The fields are lively in the morning.鸟在树上叫，风吹过稻叶。Birds sing in the trees, and the wind blows through the rice leaves.
刘大叔弯着腰拔草，汗水从脸上流下来。Uncle Liu bends down to pull weeds, and sweat runs down his face.他一边工作，一边哼小曲。He works while humming a little tune.
邻居王阿姨也在旁边种菜。His neighbor Aunt Wang is nearby planting vegetables.他们聊天气，也聊今年的收成。They talk about the weather and this year's harvest.
十点多，太阳越来越大。After ten o'clock, the sun gets stronger.他喝点水，坐在树下休息一会儿。He drinks some water and sits under a tree to rest for a while.
