Meet the 72-year-old grandmother again, picking up the bottle and raising the dog for 4 years: love like a grandchild

Reuniting with the poor grandmother who picked up pet dogs in a series of emotional photos more than a year ago, still can't help but make viewers feel sorry for her, but her nose is spicy.

Although life has changed a lot, the sincere affection that the old woman has for her pet dog every year seems to be always present, warm in the heart of busy and bustling Saigon.

When the sun disappears behind the tall buildings, that's when the poor people meet. The moment the street lights lit up on Ong Lanh Bridge, the two of them were still sitting there forgetting the troubles of life. The grandmother sat tiredly leaning against the railing, next to her was a yellow dog named Sushi who happily made fun of her. The two colors contrast each other but blend together into a strangely beautiful picture of life.

The old woman with warm eyes sitting on the bridge is Mrs. Hoa, 72 years old this year. A few years ago, she sold fruit, but now she no longer sells it because of joint disease and difficulty moving. Now, every morning, foreigners go to buy bottles. At about 6 pm, she and the dog Sushi went to Ong Lanh bridge and sat until nearly 0:00, then went home. Although the smile is still bright on the face that has been dyed with time, it still makes viewers feel pity.

At this age, what the old woman should have received is peace with her family, surrounded by children and grandchildren, not wandering on every street to earn a living day by day.

"Glorious Saigon, flowers for the rich, tears for the poor", people often say like that, but it is true that if you have ever witnessed people picking up ticks every step of the way in the cold long night. Covering every corner of the street, we can partly understand the "tears", the loneliness that Saigon always smolders. It is ironic that Mrs. Hoa has to fall into this situation when she is on the other side of the slope of life, but it is also fortunate that she still has Sushi by her side.

Given by someone else when this "boy" was born in Vinh Long, Ms. Hoa and Sushi have been together for 4 years now. It was also the time when the loneliness seemed to ease in the heart of the old woman. The two of them were always entwined with each other going through many streets of Saigon. Mrs. Hoa loves this 4-legged "nephew" very much, she has to follow closely, afraid of the "little guy" getting lost or being caught by the crooks.

Although the dog can't talk or confide, its flexible gestures and cheerful face partly feel the joy of being next to Sushi's grandmother. Looking at the "guy" we stick our tongue out, running back and forth when someone approaches, sometimes turning to "kiss" Mrs. Hoa lightly, looking like a grandchild who flatters her when guests come to visit.

Sometimes we live our whole lives just hoping that, when we grow old, we will have children and grandchildren to rely on, which is considered a joy in the late afternoon. Alone, she could only pray next to the small dog. But perhaps for the old woman, that was happiness. She said this epidemic season is difficult for everyone, Sushi it knows so it's very good, it's easy to feed, eat whatever you like, and then live with her through the days when Saigon "falls ill".

Looking at these everyday moments, it is easy to see very clearly this little joy from the 72-year-old grandmother. Every time she talks about Sushi, her eyes will shine with indescribable happiness, eyes that many people must have seen when grandparents told about themselves to the neighbors. "If you sneak around, you'll hun grandma. If you sit close, why do you keep hunching?" - she said while smiling gently, the dog seemed to understand that she was teasing her, so she stuck out her tongue, wiggled her ears, and turned her head towards her. to be petted.

People often define happiness as something that is hard to find, hard to reach and then frantically search for a distant, vain joy from there. But for the old men and women, happiness for them is sometimes simply when they are most tired of the old age, the saddest will have a friend, not saying it is okay, next to them is okay.

Thank you for the little 4-legged friend who was always by her side in her difficult times. I hope the two of you will always be happy and feel so happy!
