Efforts to build houses in the capital
Ms. Nguyen Thi Bau is from Thua town, Luong Tai district (Bac Ninh). In 2000, Ms. Bau went to Hanoi to work as a worker at a company in Bac Thang Long Industrial Park (Dong Anh, Hanoi). There, she met and married Mr. Nguyen Van Thang, from Dong Hy district (Thai Nguyen).
After more than 20 years working for the company, working hard and saving, before the Lunar New Year of At Ty, Ms. Bau and her husband were able to inaugurate their dream house.
“I got married in 2003. My husband and I decided to build up our economy for a few years before having children. We agreed to save my husband’s salary, my salary, and holiday bonuses to deposit in the bank. Both sets of parents often sent us rice, food, vegetables, etc., so we saved a lot of money. After 3 years, when I was pregnant with my eldest child, my savings account had nearly 300 million VND in principal and interest. I went back to my mother’s hometown to give birth at the same time as my relatives sold the land they were living on to move to the South to live with their children. The selling price was nearly 500 million VND, they let me pay 300 million VND in advance, and pay the remaining amount 1 year later,” Ms. Bau recounted.
Determined not to borrow from the bank, Ms. Bau and her husband continued to save 1 salary. At the end of 2007, both parents lent her more money, enough to pay off the land in her hometown.
In 2012, she gave birth to a second child. When the children reached school age, the couple actively worked overtime, still aiming to live frugally. In addition to working hours, Mr. Thang diligently imported tea and hill chickens from the countryside to sell. The side job brought them a steady income of about 8 million VND/month.
In 2019, Ms. Bau was introduced by a colleague to a piece of land of nearly 50 square meters in an alley in Bau village, Kim Chung commune (Dong Anh, Hanoi) for 1.3 billion VND. She called her hometown, and her brother and sister's land could be sold for nearly 2 billion VND. "I sold the land in my hometown and bought a piece of land in Hanoi. I deposited the remaining money in the bank and continued to deposit a little more each month. In early 2023, I had enough money to build a 2-storey house on the land in Hanoi," Ms. Bau shared.
