When we transplant paddy seedlings, the tender root hairs tear and cannot drink water properly, making the plants wilt for days—like how my cousin's *jhum* field all yellowed last season. But here in our hills, we always transplant at dusk and pack the soil tight around each stem; the roots soon find their grip again if the rain comes gently. I've seen that a little damage makes the rice send out even stronger roots, like how my sister grew resilient after our father left.
