Dear family meal in Nghe An
(Baonghean.vn) - Although life is busy and changing, the family meal of Vietnamese people in general and Nghe people in particular is still maintained and continued. The family meal is a place to gather, share love and nurture the feelings and personality of family members.

The family is the cell of society, where each person's personality is nurtured, formed and educated. Currently, many families in Nghe An still have 3-4 generations living together and are attached to familiar, cozy family meals.

Family meals not only provide nutrition and health for each person, but also help members learn to be patient, share, be polite, and respect elders and juniors. During meals, children can serve food to their grandparents and parents. If there is a delicious dish, everyone can share it or save it for others. Photo: Huy Thu |

During family meals, grandparents and parents can cleverly incorporate teaching and guidance for their children and grandchildren, such as reminding them of family traditions and correcting the lifestyle of family members.

What happiness is greater than living in the love of the most beloved ones, enjoying the dishes cooked by grandmother or mother, plucking gray hair for grandfather or great-grandfather after each meal... All of these not only contribute to bonding and sharing love, but also become beautiful memories, so that every time we go away, everyone wants to return. Although life has changed a lot, family meals still have profound humanistic values. Photo: Huy Thu |
