“Although the time to carry out the mission is quite stressful, the brothers still try to take advantage of the time to prepare for the Spring Festival and Tet at the station. Cleaning the road, wrapping Chung cakes, making five-fruit trays,... just that, it brings the warm atmosphere of Spring to each brother here” - Major Nguyen Ngoc Trai said. Photo: Thanh Cuong |
