28/7/1936 Wakching. This morning the weather was slightly better and even the sun dared to shine through the clouds. I went to the fields with the two gaonburas Yongang and Chinyang. Small groups of men and women were also going down to their fields about nine o'clock. The latter with large round sunhats and their baskets on their backs but already coming towards us were little girls with baskets piled high with millet ears
