En route home, I marveled at the picturesque scenery of endless ripe paddy fields and graceful white storks. Upon reaching the doorstep, I encountered my grandfather just returning from the fields. He always has his feet muddy and hands soiled! Seeing him, I was filled with immense joy and happiness. Yet, I couldn't help but feel compassion for him, witnessing his toil and hardship. For me, those days of returning to the countryside and being by my grandparents' side were the most meaningful times.

When learning about proverbs in the treasury of Vietnamese folklore, I was deeply impressed by the phrase 'rice market water river'. This saying is used to describe a precarious, unstable life, where one must eat meal by meal. It reminds me of the stories my grandmother used to tell about the war years. At that time, the enemy troops destroyed many villages. My grandmother and her family had to flee into the forest or evacuate to nearby villages. The shortage of food made life even more difficult, with days when they had to eat wild fruits for meals. I feel very fortunate to have a peaceful, stable life like today.
