It seems they are not tired even though they have to harvest fish from some existing ponds.

After all the fish harvest today in the weigh and after it was put in a fish tank by middlemen, then the fish will be brought to the market, Denis and the santri rushed to leave the pond. Leave Ustadz Hamzah and the middleman to complete the payment of fish crops.
Meanwhile Denis cleansed himself under the water splash from a hose that directly led from the water well behind the mosque.

Denis just smiled at the words of the students, with the occasional hose sprayed towards the santri with a tight
"The burik mah elo Ali, I'm handsome!" Answer the other santri who felt not accepted because he was harassed.

There is a little taste that makes Denis feel pinched, one piece of fish alone has made them very happy and grateful, while all this time, he always got more, he always got more, not infrequently Reza gave him a double bonus every month. Denis still complains a lot.
