The family "escapes" the pressure of living in Hanoi, takes the bachelor's degree back to the hometown to work as a duck farmer

We live in a fast-paced life, everyone must have dreamed of a peaceful life in the countryside.

However, life is not as simple as the movies, and not everyone has the courage to shake it all off to find a rural life.

Leaving the city, leaving the job to return to the countryside to be a farmer, it is not a rosy dream. It's a sweat-drenched choice of hard work, a sunny day, and two dew. It's not about a garden full of fruit and vegetables available to check-in in the morning, afternoon tea, and cake. That is the story of Nguyen Bich Ngoc and Phung Minh Thuan.

Stressful days in the city

Nguyen Bich Ngoc and her husband Phung Minh Thuan (both born in 1989) and their children have returned to Ba Vi - the children's hometown - for 1 year. It was their decision after the events, "dark clouds" overshadowed the small family's life.

Both husband and wife used to have stable jobs, in line with their majors, but in Thuan's heart at that time still felt against him.

Ngoc confided that her husband is a person who likes to do clean agriculture. He always aspires to do something to create value in his homeland. Thuan still cherishes the intention to return to his hometown, both to build a career and to be close to his parents. However, grandparents did not support this idea because they were afraid of hard work for their children.

And then, the opposition could not stop the will, Anh Thuan quit his job, opened a clean food store, the first period was also a period of many difficulties.

Ngoc shared that in order to maintain the shop, the couple had to use up all their wedding money. There was even a time when Anh Thuan was depressed and had to leave Hoa Binh, come to the village of director Luu Trong Ninh, cultivate and improve the land there. When she gave birth to her first child due to work pressure, she had to quit her job to take care of the store and her children. He went away for 8 months and then returned. Fortunately, the shop was doing well at that time and making a little profit, so it was temporary. However, I still feel that something is still wrong inside of him, like a shell that I can't touch."

Thuan said very clearly, his desire is to produce clean agricultural products by himself, live fully with it, be confident with it. And most of all, he wants to implement that idea in his own hometown. He decided to give up everything and go back to his hometown to live. The whole family brought each other back to the time of the stressful Covid-19 last year.

The decision of Thuan and Ngoc shocked many people. Everyone asked them how many billion they had in their account and then asked to go home. Ngoc "confessed", not only do not have money in reserve, they also owe a lot, the children's grandparents also have to shoulder more. Thuan started his second business with duck farming for eggs.

Pure does not buy industrial bran but feeds ducks with home-made bran made from corn, rice, fish and even duckweed and grass. Two or three times a week, he carries eggs to the inner city to sell. At home, his parents grow vegetables, raise fish, and raise cows organically, using fertilizers and water from the biogas cellar.

And Ngoc was completely surprised with farming, didn't know anything about farming. She herself once objected to her husband's intention to return to his hometown. She was afraid, confused about what she would do for a living, how she would live with her husband's parents. Since their wedding, they rarely return to their hometown, and heard that their father-in-law is very strict, Ngoc is also a little hesitant.

But ignoring everything, she understood, only returning to her hometown, pursuing a long cherished job, will Thuan be happy. She nodded when he, once again offered to invite her to live in her hometown.

"When I returned to my hometown, I became more attached to and loved my parents-in-law. I felt all the good qualities of grandparents: love for children and grandchildren, hard work, how to treat relatives, These things I didn't see before, because I wasn't near, didn't learn long enough..

Currently, my family's income is only temporary, sometimes not enough. Having a lot of clean food in the countryside, fresh air, not having to rent a house, gas, and rice, you don't have to buy it. The whole family can gather again, grandparents can be close to their children and grandchildren."

The family's two children have also adapted well to life in the countryside. For some people, sending their children to school in the countryside can be "disadvantaged"; But for Ngoc and his wife, teaching children to have love for grandparents, parents, sharing, perseverance, courage... is more important than knowledge. Those qualities can be created in the daily activities with the family, in the lifestyle close to nature.

After 1 year, from being afraid to return to her hometown, Ngoc was happy and peaceful. She was moved when looking at the laboring moments of her parents and husband. Sometimes I feel happy because I wake up in the morning and see the bitter gourd fruit on my rig climbing to the wall and being "returned" by the neighbor's sister...

The past 1 year is also the happiest time of Ngoc and her husband since their marriage. Ngoc feels the happiness and stability of Thuan, they understand each other and share more.

Back home, no one has time to be sad because the work is almost closed from morning to night, it's sunny as well as rainy: Picking eggs, cutting grass for cows and fish, cleaning the barn, fertilizing the grass... Lots of work. could not do it, the whole family rushed to work, hard but peaceful.

As for Ngoc, her husband's parents do not allow her to do farm work, but just let her take care of each meal, take care of the house, and sometimes help with some errands in the garden. She and her husband also received good news when they returned home for a while, Ngoc was pregnant with twins.

"The value that I received the biggest, but honestly, when I decided to return to my hometown, I did not think about it, it was the harmony between the family members. The most important thing was the peace of mind and steady walking beside my husband. .

If compared with his previous psychological instability, the pressure he had to endure and my anxiety before going back to his hometown, I am satisfied with my current life.

My wife and I only know how to work harder to gradually stabilize the economy, we will reduce the work for our parents a bit. We went back to our hometown to live, working seriously, not wandering. Fortunately, the family has a background in agriculture, so it is less difficult," she confided.
