Women are different now. Like Ms. Ha here, she is both good at business and good at keeping the house in order, she is truly a woman who plays both roles.
Early in the morning, Dong village market was bustling. Ms. Ha's grocery store had also been open for a long time. Because she had a knack for selling, her store was always crowded with customers from early morning to late at night. Ms. Nhan, a regular customer of Ms. Ha, went to the market early so she stopped by the store to buy some sticky rice. Seeing Ms. Ha selling goods so busy but still smiling, Ms. Nhan said:
- I see you busy like this every day, are you tired?
Ms. Ha weighed sticky rice for Ms. Nhan and smiled as she replied:
- Sometimes it's tiring, but the shop is always crowded with customers and I'm happy when you guys come to support me.
Mrs. Hao standing next to said:
- The store is so crowded, do you have time to cook for your husband and children?
Ms. Ha said:
- I can still take care of it, uncle. Every morning I wake up early to cook breakfast. My husband eats lunch at the company, my children eat at the boarding school. I only have to come home to cook dinner for my husband and children in the evening. Business and housework are both important, so we have to arrange them, uncle!
- You are really good at making ends meet. Many people are so busy with their business that they forget about their husbands and children, and don't even have hot food to eat. I don't know what to do with being rich doing business - Mrs. Nhan exclaimed.
Mrs. Hao asked more:
- But does your husband help with housework? Or do you do it all by yourself?
Ms. Ha said while counting money:
- Yes! Luckily my husband is understanding and understanding. When I'm too busy, he helps look after the kids, cook, and clean the house. When we both work together, everything becomes easier.
Just then, a boy about 8 years old ran into the shop, hugged Ms. Ha and shouted:
- Mom, dad told me to come home early for dinner today. Today, dad and I will cook dinner to celebrate International Women's Day, March 8. Lots of delicious dishes.
Ms. Ha patted her child's head, smiled brightly and said:
- I will be home soon with you two.
Mrs. Nhan looked at Mrs. Hao and said:
- Women nowadays are really good at taking care of both housework and making money. In the past, men only stayed at home to cook and take care of the children besides their fields.
Mrs. Hao laughed and said:
- It's different now. Women are not only good at staying at home but also good at doing business. But the important thing is not to forget about home and children. Like Ms. Ha here, she is good at business and good at keeping the family warm, she is truly a woman who plays two roles.
