As soon as he stepped onto the stage, Mr. Manh made MC Hong Van - Quoc Thuan laugh because of the impromptu "literary" greeting style. He said that the couple brought "a suitcase of memories", and then "deed to make three afternoon winds" to ignite the flame of love. That wit is not only a "coloring" for fun, but also seems to reflect the true spirit of their family: many children, many pressures, so they have to create positive energy to live together.
The couple shared that they have 5 children, "all mixed up" with 4 girls and 1 boy. The wife works as a building material, the husband works in clean agriculture, specializing in growing melons in greenhouses.
Besides work, Mr. Manh said that the couple also works as a communication channel to spread laughter, because "raising 5 children without laughing makes it difficult to breathe".
Coming to the love story, Ms. Nhung frankly admitted that her initial impression of her husband was "nothing she liked": dressed flowery, hair long like a singer, and talkative. However, Mr. Manh at that time worked as a Chinese interpreter in Singapore and persistently texted "anytime, anywhere". Ms. Nhung recounted that she initially gave her phone number because she thought "not afraid of being gossiped about", and then for some reason "closed her eyes... fell in love immediately".
The story further surprised the audience when Ms. Nhung discovered she was pregnant after a few months of dating. The two struggled together, hiding it from the family for a long time. Then the "reveal" also came in a very real way: Mr. Manh sent a photo of his first child home, the family printed it on the Tet gift calendar, so the grandparents were "startled" to know they had a grandchild. Then, they successively had more children, there was a period of "5 years 3 children", and then 12 years later, they had two more twins.
In the "bad habits" section, Ms. Nhung listed a series of habits that made her "crying and laughing": her husband's unscientific eating and drinking, strange sleep "going up to the sky", addicted to biting his wife's nails... even biting his wife's hand half-awake. Mr. Manh responded with a series of comparisons like "wife hungry is a demon, eating full and sleeping well is an angel".
However, behind the humorous scenes is a lasting feeling. At the end, Mr. Manh suddenly took out a small gift and proposed to his wife for the second time. He recalled nearly 20 years of holding hands, times he saw his wife crying, laughing, tired, and affirmed "still loving as before".
The promise of "love to the last breath" made Ms. Nhung choke up, while the studio went silently before the moment that was both simple and sincere.
