(Baonghean.vn)- According to the experience and forecast of the Thai people in Western Nghe An, this year's winter will be cold and icy.
Therefore, right from the first days of winter, many people in Quy Chau have started to stock up on food, fuel and necessary items for people and animals to keep warm.

| In winter, heating is important, especially for people living in high mountainous areas, often strongly affected by cold and icy weather conditions. Meanwhile, due to the difficult life, limited housing conditions, and lack of heating facilities in winter, people mainly use wood stoves to heat their homes. Therefore, firewood is an indispensable fuel in every family in winter. Photo: Luong Nga. |

| These days, every early morning, villagers rush to the forest to collect dry firewood and bring it home to store, then continue their daily work. Photo: Luong Nga |

| Food sources in winter are also a particularly important issue for communities living in the highlands. To proactively cope with the upcoming cold, a few months ago, many people went into the forest to pick bamboo shoots. Even at this time, while there is still some sunshine, the villagers still go into the forest to pick bamboo shoots, boil them, dry them, store them, and wait until the day they cannot go out to process them.

| In addition to dried bamboo shoots, many families also clean fresh bamboo shoots and pickle them. Some people also pick bamboo shoots and then sell them at the market to earn extra income. Photo: Luong Nga |

| Learning from the experience of severe cold spells and frosts in previous years that caused buffalo, cows and livestock to lack food, catch cold and die, households have paid great attention to covering barns and building "stoves" to warm their livestock. Photo: Luong Nga |

 |
| To be more careful, many families also pile straw on the barn to ensure a safe and convenient food source for cattle. Photo: Luong Nga |

| With the active initiative of the people in the highlands, the damage that winter can cause in the coming months will certainly be minimized. Photo: Luong Nga |
