After two days, Thang Vu took Thi San back to the city for her to participate in the program rehearsal. Although Thang Vu has not participated in music shows or performed at the tearoom for a long time, the name of the handsome and talented pianist has never ceased to be hot every time he appears. After listening to Thi San introduce Thang Vu as her fiancé, the organizers immediately invited him to join the duet with his future wife and of course, he nodded in agreement. As the show's production crew predicted, the couple's performance became a deeply impressive performance and fully aroused the emotions in the hearts of the audience and listeners. - I feel very honored to stand with you on the big stage. Do you know? I have dreamed of this scene. – Thi San hugged her heart and confessed to him when they both stepped out of the backyard. - But the scene that I always dreamed of has yet to appear. You have to help me. – Thang Vu slightly pinched her red nose because of her emotions
Autumn came early and brought with it a bit of cold air that made time and space seem to slow down. Thi San's eyes filled with tears as she passed through the streets covered with yellow leaves falling in the dew. She constantly looked back at the land where she lived for twenty years through the bus window. Thi San's mother is a single woman. Her love affair with the rich guy ended when his whole family settled abroad and cut off all contact. After a month her lover left the country, and she found out she was pregnant. In the end, the beautiful girl dropped out of school halfway and returned to her hometown to live with her elderly mother. Thi San's mother worked hard and didn't have a day off for a long time, so she was completely exhausted. Her tearful funeral was just completed a week ago. - When you go to someone's house, you shouldn't cry, but smile to be liked by them. Tam Lan took out a stack of tissues from her pocket and gave it to Thi San and kindly advised. Thi San
The large gate opened. A woman with a kind face appeared in a light blue dress. Tam Lan bowed and then she pulled Thi San forward and smiled. - I would like to introduce to you a very gentle and hard-working maid. Her name is Thi San. - Hello madam. - Thi San politely bowed. Mai Hoang gently nodded. Her eyes quickly moved from head to toe to the girl, and then she stopped on the innocent face with a satisfied expression. The maid of Mai Hoang's family left a week ago, so she had to hire a new maid because she and her son constantly had to go out and they needed someone to cook and clean the house. There was no shortage of job placement centers in the city, but Mai Hoang wanted to find herself a reliable maid. When she heard that Tam Lan was the one who introduced maids from poor rural areas to rich families, she asked Tam Lan to help her. - Please come in and have a cup of tea with me. Mai Hoang stepped aside to let the two guests enter the house. The three of them walked to
The mist of the night gradually dissipated and the morning light appeared to bring light back to the beautiful city. Thang Vu leaned against the door and looked out into the distance, where the lights scattered throughout the apartment complex were fading. In his hand was a cup of hot tea. Thang Vu had to pass the preliminary round held 3 months ago with over two hundred candidates. After that, he had to perform three solo performances in a row through stages to gradually eliminate until twenty-five spots remained to enter this upcoming final round. Thang Vu didn't care whether he won or lost because he had a soaring artist's soul, but his mother was different. Certificates of merit or medals, gold and silver cups, always made her happy and proud of her son. She kept and cherished everything like a treasure. She said the awards were proof that she raised a grown-up child. This time, because Mai Hoang encouraged Thang Vu too much, he took part. After Thang Vu finished his cup of
When it was late at night, the competition also entered the awarding stage, and the piano category was announced first. In the villa where there was no longer a distance between the mistress and the maid. Mai Hoang held Thi San's hand and anxiously waited for the important moment. The awards were announced in order from lowest to highest. The list started with three consolation prizes and then third and second prizes. Every time the MC called the contestant's name to receive the award, both of them had a drop in blood pressure. - They gave the second prize to the contestant but Thang Vu's name has not been called yet. Maybe he failed. - Mai Hoang was worried like a child. Thi San looked at the person next to her and she couldn't believe that Mai Hoang was the leader of Thang Minh Company after her husband passed away. According to Tam Lan said Thang Minh Company was a very successful and famous company specializing in construction and real estate trading in this city. - I think
On the morning of the first day of the week, Thi San got up early and followed Mai Hoang to the market because Mai Hoang had an appointment with a customer at seven o'clock. Although the company was still off today, Mai Hoang could not refuse their invitation. Thi San saw that Mai Hoang was very professional with the steering wheel, so she admired the mistress very much. She wished someday she could do it like Mai Hoang. The distance from the villa to the market was not too far. On the way to the market, Thi San attentively noticed and memorized the names of the signboards of large centers or small shops so that she wouldn't get lost when she was alone. - The market is here. Mai Hoang smiled and quickly unbuckled her seat belt, then she opened the door and walked out. Thi San also hurried to do the same as the mistress and she did not forget to hold the plastic basket in her hand. This decades-old market had all kinds of goods, including necessities, household goods, and fresh g
The car lights flashed at half-past eight at night, and the bell rang. Thi San quickly took the key and ran out to open the gate for the young master. Because when the door opened, she was standing in the dark, so Thang Vu couldn't see her. He slowly drove straight into the garage. When he pulled his suitcase down and turned around, he realized that a petite girl in a blue dress was running toward him. The young man's brow furrowed slightly. He sighed softly because he thought his mother brought this girl home to match him. - Let me help you carry the suitcase up to the room. - Thi San suggested in a low voice. Her round face and shoulder-length hair had a few ripples from her hair tie, and her words made him realize she was a new maid from the countryside. - Let me carry it. You're wearing a skirt. It's not convenient. Thang Vu pointed the key towards the car and pressed the door lock button, then he leisurely left. Thi San quietly looked behind him for a few seconds and the
At five o'clock in the morning, Thi San woke up and started working. After she finished brushing her teeth and washing her face, she quickly carried her basket to buy food. The early morning road between the villas was quite deserted because the houses were still closed. Thi San followed the signs of the shops and she easily reached the market. Pity for her. Yesterday, she and Mai Hoang came here at six o'clock in the morning and the umbrellas used to block the sun had already been moved, so the junction was empty, but now there are many umbrellas, so the strange sight made her bewildered. She didn't know the location of the beef seller. Thi San walked back and forth for a while, then asked the chicken saleswoman to show her the way to the beef stall. Fortunately for Thi San, the chicken saleswoman was very enthusiastic. She immediately asked her husband to look after the stall and then she took the country girl to the place. - This is where your mother-in-law usually buys. - The
