(Baonghean.vn) - Tet markets during the subsidy period always brought strangeness and excitement to children. Adults had to patiently queue up to buy food, supplies, and goods for the most important time of the year.
 |
| Those who experienced it certainly cannot forget the difficult but simple and warm subsidy period. |
 |
| Department stores are bustling with shopping on Tet holiday. |
 |
| People had to line up to buy Tet goods with ration stamps. The Tet standard only included a box of mixed jam, a few ounces of green beans to wrap Chung cakes, maybe a few ounces of meat, a shrimp firecracker... |
 |
| Wine, beer or new items that need to be replaced are also considered for Tet. |
 |
| Thang Long wine, mixed jam - one of the typical products of Tet during the subsidy period. |
 |
| People work hard all year round but only on Tet holiday do they get to eat meat, so meat stalls are always crowded with customers. |
 |
| The banh chung and banh tet stalls are always filled with laughter. |
 |
| Coal, firewood, and kerosene are fuels that must be used regularly. During Tet, we must buy more to serve the three days of Tet. |
 |
| Banh chung is an indispensable item on the altar of every family during Tet. That is why during Tet, pots of banh chung like this are present in every village and hamlet. |
 |
| During Tet, the house is decorated with many pictures and Tet parallel sentences. And there is no shortage of calendars. Tet calendars during the subsidy period mainly printed pictures of famous artists of that time. |
 |
| "Fatty meat, pickled onions, red parallel sentences/ The pole, firecrackers, green square cakes". In the past, firecrackers were indispensable during Tet. It was considered a sign of good or bad luck depending on whether the firecrackers exploded regularly or not. |
 |
| The children happily watched the fireworks go off. |
 |
| For children, the greatest joy during Tet is to wear new clothes. So no matter how difficult it is, people save money to buy fabric to make new clothes for their children to celebrate Tet. |

| Giving small change as Tet gifts is a Vietnamese custom. The newer and more fragrant the money, the luckier it is. |
 |
| Although life was still difficult, every family could not lack a peach blossom branch during Tet at that time. |
 |
| The old New Year's Eve tray was full of flavor. |
 |
| People from far away flocked back on Thong Nhat trains loaded with items to prepare for Tet. |
