Hoa’s father, Mr. Tuan , is a farmer. He works more hours than Tim’s father. He usually starts work at six in the morning. He has breakfast, then he feeds the buffalo, pigs and chickens, and collects the eggs.
From about nine in the morning until four in the afternoon, Mr. Tuan works in the fields with his brother. They grow some rice, but their main crop is vegetables. From 12 to 1 o’clock, Mr. Tuan rests and eats lunch.
At four in the afternoon, they come back home. Mr. Tuan feeds the animals again. Then he cleans the buffalo shed and the chicken coop. His work usually finishes at six.
