For Mr. Tran Hai - a long-time shoe shiner in Vinh, Tet is the same as usual, his job is to shine shoes, so Tet has fewer customers because customers are busy with work and do not have time. He still sits diligently at the breakfast shop to offer shoe shine and keeps the price of 10,000 VND/pair. He confided: I try to add more days so that I have money to spend every day, if I work hard, I can earn 100 - 200 thousand VND every day. For people in my profession, Tet is even more difficult because there are no customers.

A "hot" and very profitable job is delivering goods for online sales services. Tuan Anh does this job and says that the work is increasing day by day, as long as there is an order, the motorbike delivery fee is 50,000 VND/trip within the city. During Tet, the price is 60-70,000 VND/trip. These days, many people hire him to work all day and still not finish the work. This is probably a very favorable job in the future.

Everyone wants to have a little extra income to farm for many Tet expenses and so buying and selling - exchanging is very fast, so everyone wants to have more time to go home to their family.
