(Dan Tri) - Seeing her son and his wife secretly bring their 7-month-old grandson from Japan home for Tet, Mrs. Chinh burst into tears and hit her thighs hard because she "couldn't believe it was true."
Grandmother cried when she saw her grandson again.
At the end of December 2024, the couple Khac Quy - Ngoc Tram (Vietnamese workers living in Fukuoka city, Japan) planned to bring their son back to Vietnam to celebrate Tet.
Previously, the couple had bought plane tickets, planning to return to Vietnam on the 26th of Tet because they were waiting for the vaccination schedule at the end of January for their child, Sushi (real name Nguyen Khac Ky Thien, 7 months old).
"My grandparents missed me and called every day saying 'I miss you, I want to hold you', so we decided to ask the doctor to postpone the vaccination schedule and change the tickets, to return a month early," Tram said.
When changing the plane tickets, the couple did not inform their family. The Vietnamese worker couple lied to their parents that "vaccination schedules in Japan are difficult to change" and secretly returned home earlier than planned.

The first time bringing their son back to Vietnam, the young couple prepared a lot of things, including 80kg of luggage for the baby. Both of them tried to arrange the luggage for easy travel.
Ngoc Tram booked a round-trip ticket for 40 million VND for the whole family, and at the same time asked for 6 months of childcare leave, planning to return to Vietnam to celebrate Lunar New Year for a while before returning to Japan.
At around 6am on December 21, 2024, she woke up early to feed her son breakfast, then the whole family moved to the airport near their home. The flight from Fukuoka City to Noi Bai Airport (Hanoi) lasted 5 hours.
During that time, little Sushi did not cry. Although he slept little, the boy played well on the plane, not affecting the other passengers.
Khac Quy asked his brother to pick up his family at Noi Bai airport. It was not until 5pm that day that they arrived home in Hoa Nam commune (Ung Hoa district, Hanoi).

Seeing the car enter the house, Mrs. Chinh (63 years old) did not think much, still diligently cooking in the kitchen. When Ngoc Tram carried her son inside, her sister and grandchildren standing in the living room could not hide their surprise. She quickly signaled everyone to keep quiet, then carried her son to the back of the kitchen to find her mother-in-law.
Mrs. Chinh was sitting picking vegetables, not knowing anything. When Tram called out, she turned around and was surprised to see her daughter-in-law and 7-month-old grandson in front of her. The mother burst into tears, hitting her thighs hard with both hands because she "couldn't believe it was true". She was in tears, continuously "lovingly scolding" her son and daughter-in-law for coming home without notice.
Coming home from work, Mr. Kiem (67 years old) was "stunned" to see his grandson waiting in front of the house. He frantically hugged his grandson and asked Quy and his wife all sorts of questions.
"Normally, there are only the two of us at home together. Now that our grandchild has come to visit, the whole family is very happy. Grandpa said he is very happy. In the morning, I wake up to see him off to work and in the afternoon, I stand at the door to welcome him home. My grandparents spend all day with me," Ngoc Tram said.
Arrange time and work for family reunion during Tet
In 2016, Ngoc Tram went to Japan to study. After graduating from university, she stayed to work.
Khac Quy graduated from the University of Science and Technology, then went to Japan to work as an engineer in 2017. Two years later, he met Tram during the Lunar New Year held for the Vietnamese community in Japan.
The couple got married in June 2023 and welcomed their first son, Sushi, a year later. "At that time, we sponsored my grandparents to come to Japan to visit and visit my grandchild for 2 weeks," Tram said.

She and her husband often return to Vietnam on special occasions such as holidays and Tet. This is the second time they have returned home and the first time little Sushi has celebrated Vietnamese Tet.
Four years ago, Khac Quy also secretly returned home to celebrate Tet with his family. Mr. Kiem and his wife were moved and burst into tears when they saw their son. This time, Ngoc Tram wanted to record this meaningful experience as the small family had another member.
"Only when we came home unexpectedly did we see memorable moments and realize how happy and excited our grandparents were for their grandchildren," she said.
In addition to celebrating Tet at her paternal hometown, Ngoc Tram plans to take her son to visit her maternal hometown in Nghe An by sleeper bus. The boy will experience Tet activities such as wearing Ao Dai, taking photos, going to Tet market with his family and enjoying the New Year's Eve atmosphere with his grandparents.

Posting a video of her visit home during Tet on her personal page, Ngoc Tram unexpectedly received attention from the online community. She hopes to spread the joy of family reunion to everyone, adding motivation to those who live far away from home to "go to return".
According to Tram, no matter how busy the work is or how far the geographical distance is, every child far from home always turns to their roots and homeland. Tet is not only a time to rest, but also a time to cherish and preserve the most sacred values of the family.
"Now that I have a child, I feel even more clearly the importance of arranging for the whole family to reunite during Tet. Money can be earned again, but family affection, parents' health and the passing of time cannot be bought back," Tram confided.
