(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 get to eat meat on Tet holiday, so meat stalls are always crowded with customers. |
 |
| The stall selling banh chung and banh tet is always filled with laughter. |
 |
| Coal, firewood, and kerosene are fuels that must be used regularly, and during Tet we have to buy even more to serve the three days of Tet. |
 |
| Banh chung is an indispensable item on the altar of every family during Tet. Therefore, 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/ Bamboo 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. |
 |
| The greatest joy for children 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. |

| Exchanging small change to give as lucky money on Tet holiday is a habit of Vietnamese people. The newer and more fragrant the money is, 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 Tet tray was full of flavor. |
 |
| People from far away flocked back on Thong Nhat trains loaded with items to prepare for Tet. |
