The two men, who moved the rice seedlings countless times while carrying a heavier-than-expected seedling tray, were drenched in sweat and even collapsed on the field, saying, “Farming is not for just anyone.” Even after inhaling the savior-like new rice, the labor continued.After six long hours of planting, the two men raised their hands and shouted, “Long live the happiness.” However, the sight of the “Pepper Brothers” losing their smiles when they heard that there were more places that needed help brought out big laughter.
