Onion Seedling Planting: The Decisive Three Days

I still have some early-maturing and spurt onion seedlings left to plant, but I'm making steady progress. The Kujo green onions are finished.
"If I work hard now, everything else will work out"—that's how I feel as the one-tan rice field is steadily filled with seedlings.

Every day is truly enjoyable. It's tough at times, but seeing the field take shape little by little keeps my spirits up.
I spread rice husks, moved things around, and worked with my mother to harvest and prepare winter vegetables for the Wednesday market. This might be the last of the Manganji peppers for this season.

My back hurts. But tomorrow, I'll start with the morning shipment and then get back to planting onion seedlings. I just have to push through.
The decisive three days—one day left. I'll run through to the finish.

• "Hardship" and "enjoyment" can exist at the same time. Even if the body is tired, the heart can be full.
• Working with my mother provides not just efficiency, but a sense of security. Farm work isn't just a solo task; it's also family time.
• At every stage of the work, there are moments where I realize something is "for the last time this season." Those milestones become preparations for the next season.
• Every time I plant a seedling, the field gets a little closer to the "future scenery." Small accumulations lead to great peace of mind.
