As soon as I left the university gate and started working at Lao Dong Newspaper, I got married. At the age of 23, many people ask, "why get married so early?". I don't think much, just simply meeting the right person, at the right time, I don't hesitate. After that, I was a woman with a house to return to, a great agency to work for.
My life is like a simple loop of weeks, days, months and years passing by. At 8am, I was present at 6 Pham Van Bach, starting work on the new day. Late in the afternoon, I returned to my small home. There is no boredom. Work always requires each reporter to change themselves, to become better every day. From a pure reporter, I am willing to take photos, record videos, make clips, take the spotlight... to get the best products. First of all, the mission of serving readers needs to be prioritized.
Family life is the same, I can't just cook a dish for my husband every day. Every day, having to think of a menu does not seem easy. Therefore, my husband and I debate the question of "What to eat tonight" more than any other issue.
But, the story I want to tell is told from the words next to the quick meal. Pursuing sports, reporters all understand that it is not uncommon to do both products and take care of the family during dinner time. My husband works in the same field, he sympathizes and shares, but on the contrary, he is also busy at the right time.
"Can you wait for this note?" - a question I often ask and an available answer: "Okay". Sometimes, he did not answer but went into the kitchen to prepare a rice pot. Or, when I had just finished interviewing the character, I had a "rice-powered calligraphy machine" waiting, my husband would peel off that interview to let me cook soup.
I still remember a few months ago, when many families were still having fun in spring, my husband left for Indonesia to attend the AFF Club Championship. It was unfortunate that Thanh Hoa suffered a heavy defeat and had to say goodbye to the tournament. The journey home was a long, long and heavy journey not only for him but also for all members of the team.
That day, the cold rain covered Hanoi. After a busy working day, I try to arrange to return home to cook a meal. Of course, there is still work. Checking the information, doing the homework thoroughly and cooking. The line of words still runs on the screen, the stir-fried eel dish with chili is about to cook and my husband returns home after a long trip.
"Just finish work, then we can eat together", the sympathy for the profession is expressed through the words of her partner. My husband is not good at cooking, and sometimes gets into a messy house. There were times when I wondered why he didn't learn how to cook.
Ms. Yen Xuan - the wife of goalkeeper Dang Van Lam commented on my Facebook page: "If a man in the family knows how to do everything, how can women express their love now"? Oh, a very simple, very everyday thought of a woman. As a matter of fact, Van Lam's family is always happy.
I also know that my husband always wants to post delicious family meals on social media to make "those guys crave it". He seemed very happy and joyful when receiving compliments for his wife who knows how to cook. My parents were surprised to read the comments of the captain of the Vietnam national team - Que Ngoc Hai: "If you don't know how to cook rice, if you're bad, you're a lot of talk, what does your wife like you about? ".
My husband is also willing to invite many friends to his house to eat rice, provided that... his wife has to cook. Not only that, interviewing characters sometimes becomes easy, I just need to cook rice to get a paper. U23 Vietnam player Vo Nguyen Hoang likes the orange sticky rice I cook, A Mit likes grilled meat, former U19 player Tran Van Hoa visits my house a few times to eat rice, or his colleagues often come to reward the hotpot.
5 years as a reporter for Lao Dong Newspaper, a "fire keeper" in a small kitchen, no matter how busy I am, I still try to cook delicious meals. Even though the sound of the keyboard bars blends with the roar of the fire, both must still be completed most meticulously.
