"Don't tomorrow! if you learn it, do not delay! Come aboard!" force Fathan.

He got a push from his nephew. Kamal finally succumbed he climbed on top of the rice harvesting machine. Fathan also began to explain about the functions in the harvesting machine.

"Don't you know Mang?" Ask Fathan after he finished explaining everything.

"God willing! but if it's wrong don't get scolded!" Pinta kamal who looks groggy.

"No! Mamangkan is not young anymore, Time must be scolded all, try to turn on the engine!"

With trembling hands, Kamal began to turn on the rice harvester, but when the engine gas died again.

"Let's light it up again!"

Kamal nodded then he repeated what he was doing so that after trying a few times, the engine car could finally turn on. Fathan also continued to direct his uncle to be able to drive the machine.

Two hours passed finally Kamal began to be able to operate a rice harvesting machine.although it was not smooth but the development was very satisfying Fathan. So he could sit while enjoying a cup of coffee that had been made by Dadun.

Slowly but surely Kamal finally could harvest all the rice of Dadun, then they weighed the grain and then divided the harvest with Fathan.

That's how Fathan's daily life for now.usually he struggled with computers and building sketches, now he began to struggle with mud and hot sun, so that his originally white skin had begun to blacken brownish, brownish, exposed to the sun, but it was a pride for him, because he really had become a farmer.The results collected from operating the machine to harvest the rice of the residents. Fathan can pay half of his debt to Seno, although Seno initially refused, but Fathan still insisted because the cooperation will not end there. maybe in the future he will take the other machines.

Finished harvesting the rice of all sukadarma villagers. Fathan also began to run the theory that he had about post-harvest soil care.he did not directly plow the fields owned by his parents.he allowed the rice field to rest first.

"When did you start planting Tan's rice?" ask Kamal that afternoon.

"Two more weeks Mang, while waiting for the superior seedlings to be sent!" fathan answered while drinking the tea served by his aunt.

"Continue now what are your plans for the future?"

"I want to shake the father's garden, which is overgrown with weeds, I will use the land to grow vegetables" explained Fathan conveyed his plan.

"All right! if you plant vegetables in the land of your father, the land of Aunt who is beside you take care of it! so it can be useful, dear if the land is left just like that."

"Seriously Bi?" ask Fathan enthusiastically."

"So seriously, when did Auntie lie?"

"Ouch! Thank you so much Bi! thank you." said Fathan with a smile showing a look of happiness.

"Do you still need energy?" kamal asked because he had started to enjoy the work he was doing, Although he worked as a farm worker, but his body did not feel tired. Because it only operates advanced machines owned by Fathan.

"It's so bad Mang! need once! Emang Mamang wants to help me to manage our garden land. Oh yes continue what kind of rules, if I cultivate your land?" ask Fathan who just remembered his aunt's offer.

"Use it! Unfortunately, the land becomes unkempt land, about the payment is up to you, Aunty believes you are a very good person. And know how to organize the harvest.

"Yes already! as usual, we'll split the two!"

"Tumben split in two Tan?" ask his aunt with a smile.

"Yes split in two after his capital returned, but even so calm! for Mang Kamal if you want to help, I will pay according to the wages of work in our village." explained Fathan gave understanding.

"Return it with you Tan! Mamang who is a bod0h person who does not know about the arrangement of the problem that is so, uncle just follow! Uncle is sure you won't trouble people. And if not paid Mamang will still help, because Mamang has fallen in love with the machines you have." Answer Kamal who does not care about the problem of wages. Since he followed Fathan his life began to improve, from the usual side dishes only salted fish now he did not hesitate to buy eggs and chicken.

Eventually the conversation continued with regular chats, Fathan now more often at his aunt's house. Fathan came home only to change clothes and upload videos he made, to his YouTube channel.

*****

The next morning, Fathan and Kamal were getting ready to go to the plantation land, which was overgrown by Ilalang with the necessary tools. Arriving in the garden Fathan also pay attention to the land that is quite wide.

"Now how's Tan?" kamal asked as he looked towards his nephew.

"We tripe first Mang wild plants, use this machine!" patan said while showing the lawn machine.

"Can you wear that?"

"Can mang! Still not sure about the tools I have?"

"Prove Tan!" challenge Kamal with a smile, Actually he has no doubt in the slightest with the machines owned by Fathan, but he wants to know how to use them.

After being satisfied with the testing, he began mowing weeds that grew wild in his father's garden.See the machine owned Fathan can mow the grass so quickly, without spending extra energy. makes Kamal again gaping, inevitably believe but that is the reality.

"Why would you try?" ask Fathan who saw the change in attitude of his mother.

"Maybe?"

"May Mang, here!" Said Fathan while releasing the tool he carried. with the spirit of Kamal was holding the machine, then Fatan taught how to use it. Kamal who likes sophisticated tools, he quickly mastered and understood how to use it. So he was the one who worked mowing the grass, so he was the one who worked, fathan was in charge of collecting freshly cut grass beside his garden.

"Gather it in the middle of Tan! why brought to the side, later after dry we burn!" Kamal said on the sidelines of his work.

"Willfully Mang I collect Make fertilizer!  so that later we can save on non-organic fertilizer."

"Moreover, tan?" Ask Kamal who just heard because he thinks garbage is just garbage can not be used.

"Udah Mamang is working! the knife will hit the leg." It was Fathan who was worried about his uncle's safety.

When they were busy working interspersed with light laughter, there was a resident who approached, because he was surprised by what Fathan was about to do.

"You want to make a soccer field, Tan?" asked Dadun while staring at Kamal who was operating the machine.

"No Kang I want to grow vegetables here." Fathan replied as he approached Dadun

"Haha!" dadun's response made Fathan frown.

"Why laugh?"

"You're funny Tan! time, fields like this want to be used as a place to grow vegetables, you have-nothing! where can soil like this be used vegetable planam.

"Can Mang! very well!"

"Seriously?" asked Dadun in the slightest to show no confidence.

"God can do it!"

"If you can, and you succeed.tuh my land you work on, I will not ask for a dime from the farm.: challenge Dadun while pointing at the garden he has.

"Seriously Mang!"

"Ask your mama! do I like to lie or not? but remember! that's if it works, if not ,hahaha!" said Dadun while closing his mouth.

Hearing such a trick, Fathan just smiled, but his heart was already round he would prove that what he was doing would not be in vain.

"Kang Farhan! Kang Farhaan's! here Kang!" Call Dadun when he saw his father Fathan passing through the garden maybe he just came home to check the rice fields.

"What's Dun?" asked Farhan who approached.

"See your son! I think it should be taken to a mental hospital. In the past Ilalang fields like this, want to be used as plantations?" dadun's story to Farhan.

"It's Dun! a bod0h child like this, difficult to manage. it's been nice office work with a big salary, even gambling with want to become a farmer. what's the name if not bod0h and gobl0k!" said Farhan while glancing cynically at his son.

Seeing the two people who cornered him, Fathan got up and then continued the work, he began to tidy up the remnants of the grass cutting.

"Yes! I have to take Akang's son to a psychiatrist, maybe he has a mental disorder."

"Buntle it, Dun! look at my paddy field, someone else is already on the rhyme, he's even taking care of the garden."

"That's right! Sawah Akang, why won't you plow yourself?"

"I've handed over his management for 1 year to Fathan. if he doesn't succeed I will go back to take the management of the rice field."

'"Are you sure Fatan's gonna make it?"

"No!" farhan replied with a rough sigh.

"Yes! I am also not sure, even I offered my garden to work on, without having to spend a penny rent. with a note he managed to make this land into farmland." replied Dadun with a cynical smile, I looked at the two people who were busy.

"Yes, let's go home! long time Here later we burn!" take Farhan while walking ahead of Dadun, not strong with the hot sun.

Kamal only snorted annoyedly at the behavior of his sister-in-law, instead of supporting instead insulting. Though Fathan still gives money as he gives when working in the city. That could prove farming and working it together.
