Hello friends, how are you today and I hope we are all in good health and can participate in activities smoothly.
Today is a much awaited day, a chicken harvest day with friends. We have all been up since early morning, preparing equipment and making sure everything is ready for this big harvest activity. The fresh morning atmosphere with the newly rising sun gave us additional enthusiasm.
We gathered in front of a simple hut with a red roof which was the center of our activities. Some friends have started to come on their motorbikes, while others are busy preparing equipment and chicken shelters. Trucks were lined up to the side, ready to be filled with harvested chickens. The atmosphere is full of laughter and a spirit of togetherness.
The clear blue sky without clouds added to our spirits. Everyone seemed busy with their respective tasks. Several friends sat relaxed in the shade of the hut, chatting while waiting for their turn to start work. Others were seen going back and forth preparing logistics and making sure everything went according to plan.
The harvesting process begins carefully. We have to make sure these chickens are handled well so they don't get stressed or injured. More experienced friends provide direction and guidance to others. Everyone has an important role in this process. Some are in charge of catching the chickens, some are putting them in baskets, and some are arranging the baskets on the truck.
We work with passion. The increasingly hot sun did not dampen our spirits. We support each other, joke and laugh in between busy schedules. Occasionally, we stop for a drink and recharge. Even though we were tired, the feeling of togetherness and the same goal made everything feel lighter.
As noon approached, we almost finished the harvesting process. Trucks that were initially empty are now full of baskets of chickens. Tiredness began to set in, but the satisfaction of seeing the results of our hard work made it all pay off. We gathered in the shade of the hut, enjoying a simple lunch prepared together. Rice, side dishes and cold drinks are a very delicious dish when you are tired and sweaty.
After lunch, we continued by cleaning up the remains of the activities and making sure everything was tidy. Several friends helped check the condition of the chickens on the truck, making sure they were in good condition before taking them to market.
In the afternoon, we finally finished with all the tasks. We sat together, enjoying the view of the sun starting to set. A sense of satisfaction and pride enveloped us. This is not only about the harvest, but also about the togetherness, hard work and spirit of mutual cooperation that we experience together.
Today's chicken harvest is not only about getting results from the livestock we raise, but also about the valuable experience of working with friends. We returned home with full hearts, ready to face the next challenge. Today is a day that we will always remember as a moment of togetherness and fruitful hard work.
As the sun began to sink over the western horizon, we all gathered once again to take photos together, immortalizing this precious moment. Laughter and jokes continued to brighten this beautiful afternoon. Some of us chatted about future plans, how we could increase yields for the next crop, and ideas for improving the existing system.
After everything was finished, we were ready to go home. Trucks full of chickens started leaving one by one for the market. We waved goodbye, full of hope that the harvest would bring good benefits to all.
Feeling relieved and satisfied, we returned to our respective homes. The tiredness we felt seemed to disappear, replaced by deep pride and satisfaction. Every step we take is accompanied by sweet memories of this day, which will always be an inspiring story in our life journey.
That night, while resting, our minds still drifted to the beautiful moments we had spent together. This chicken harvest is not just work, but a lesson about cooperation, perseverance, and the meaning of togetherness. We sleep with smiles on our faces, ready to face tomorrow with new enthusiasm and stories that we will continue to share.
