The 76-year-old grandmother walked back to An Giang with her husband to meet an unexpected ending

These days, the image that moves many people is probably the line of cars of people who want to go back to their hometown after a series of days of being stuck because of the epidemic. The repatriation cars finally returned in droves.

Departing from Thu Duc City at 5 am, Ms. Hua Thi Kim Anh and her child started the longest journey ever by motorbike. Anh carried a small child in front of her chest and drove a motorbike alone to Soc Trang. Anh had tears in her eyes: "When we get tired of running, we rest there, my mother and I can't live in Ho Chi Minh City anymore, the biggest wish is to return to the countryside with my husband and children". The prolonged epidemic caused Anh to lose her job and no longer have enough money to take care of her children. Although she knew it was difficult and dangerous, she had no other better choice. Due to a small child, she went to Binh Chanh district all day. Being supported by a group of volunteers with food, water and gas, Anh feels warm because she is not alone in this journey.

At night, the street lights and car lights are dim, people also become small compared to the night. Sometimes seeing a few lights of a volunteer group supporting food and drinking water, seeing pictures of gas station lights is the joy of people returning home in the cold night. Because she missed her granddaughter, Mrs. Tran Thi Chit went to Ho Chi Minh City to visit her grandchildren only a few days before the epidemic broke out. Also because of the epidemic, her daughter, who worked as a hired worker, could not return home. Thought that going to Ho Chi Minh City would be reunited with her daughter's family, but then Mrs. Chit also had to stay alone in Thoi An apartment building (District 12, Ho Chi Minh City). Her daughter has signed up for many 0-dong bus rides, but she still has not been picked up. Her husband's illness in An Giang became worse, making her more worried. Unable to wait any longer, she decided to walk back to her hometown.

At the age of 76, the age is close to the earth and far from the sky, it is also difficult to travel, but now Chit has to walk a distance of hundreds of kilometers, the image of the old woman stooping to walk on the dusty road makes anyone also silent. Ms. Chit shared: "My children are many, but each of them is in one place, I don't want to disturb them, so I lied that I took a bus to my hometown to give them peace of mind. In my hometown, I work in the fields, so I walk like that. It's okay, as long as you get home." Having been given an old stroller by a neighbor in District 12, Ms. Chit happily loaded all her belongings into the car and pushed it away. When walking to the territory of Tan Tuc town, Binh Chanh district, Ms. Chit was supported with rice and water by the functional forces at the checkpoint. Ms. Chit confided: "People say I sit here, everyone will help me find a car to hitchhike back home. I'm so worried that I can't eat, I just want to go back to my hometown to see how my husband is."

With sad eyes, she sat at the checkpoint and was restless, watching each passing car, hoping someone would agree to take her home. Around 20 pm, after convincing the police force, finally a truck was willing to take her back to her hometown. The police officers helped her into the truck, the baby carriage was left in the trunk. Although she had already gotten into the car, she still did not forget to look back and check if her "heirloom" car had not been left behind. She squeezed the hand of the traffic policeman and thanked her, her eyes shining with indescribable happiness. The night is getting darker, the fog is also heavy, the lines of people are still quietly moving through the night towards the West. The land of the motherland always opens its arms to welcome the children back from abroad.

Not only is it painful to hear the story of Mrs. Chit at the age of near and far away from heaven and has to go back to her hometown, also recently, people have been sympathetic to the news that a pregnant woman gave birth prematurely while on her way home to avoid the epidemic. . Specifically, Mr. Nguyen Dinh Tuyen - Director of the Hospital of Obstetrics and Gynecology in Quang Ngai province confirmed that the hospital had just received a pregnant woman with signs of labor while on the way from Ho Chi Minh City to Thanh Hoa to avoid the epidemic.

Accordingly, the whole family of Mr. Pham Van Quyet (23 years old) and Ms. Dinh Thi Phuong Anh (19 years old, residing in Thach Thanh district, Thanh Hoa province) moved by motorbike to the bypass in the territory of Quang Ngai city (province). Quang Ngai) when it rained heavily, Mr. Quyet drove his motorbike to the side of the road to take shelter from the rain. While taking shelter from the rain, Phuong Anh (in the 8th month of pregnancy) had severe abdominal pain and signs of labor. Eyewitnesses instructed them to run straight to the hospital 3km away.

Mr. Tuyen said: "She is still 3 weeks pregnant, but she traveled a long distance by motorbike, so she showed signs of preterm labor. Fortunately, her family took her to the hospital for emergency treatment and timely treatment. By this morning, Phuong Anh's mother's health was stable, the fetus was safe." It is known that, affected by the Covid-19 epidemic, Quyet and his wife, along with their mother and brother, were unemployed. Last July, 4 family members (including pregnant woman Phuong Anh) had Covid-19 and had to be hospitalized for treatment. Family life was difficult, so after Ho Chi Minh City relaxed the distance, the disease was cured, Quyet's family rode a motorbike to their hometown (Thanh Hoa) to avoid the epidemic.
