Since it was not working hours, everyone could move around and talk. While they cleaned, they gathered in twos and threes to chat.
"How did you guys sleep last night?"
"I slept late and woke up early."
"I did the same because I was so excited that I couldn't sleep."
"I'm not used to not working for so long."
"Yeah, we've been off work for almost a month. It's been a while since I saw you guys."
"Miss Su treats everyone well. She gave us such an extended vacation. We were always free after the autumn harvest, but the vacation felt different."
"You're right. I almost panicked because I had nothing to do. Still, I was very relaxed at home during the holidays."
"That must be because we feel secure with full-time jobs. I can earn a steady monthly salary if I continue working here."
"Winter should end soon. Our families will soon get busy harvesting rapeseeds."
