The resettlement area of Lang Nu village was built on Sim hill, covering an area of 10 hectares, including 40 stilt houses, 1 community house and 1 school. To date, 33 households have received their houses. Some remaining households are busy preparing and holding ancestral worship ceremonies to move into their new houses.

The flower beds that Ms. Hoang Thi Bong and her son planted since moving into their new home have now begun to bloom. "I don't know much about flowers. My son bought them all. Since taking care of the flowers, I have more hope," Ms. Bong confided.

This year, there was a funeral in the family, so Ms. Bong did not buy much. "I just bought some seaweed leaves to wrap humpback banh chung tomorrow, to offer to the ancestors and bring to my husband's grave," Ms. Bong said.

"Now there are only two of us. Seeing the empty house, I bought some plants and flowers to create a Tet atmosphere," said Hoang Van Dam (son of Hoang Thi Bong) while admiring the kumquat tree he had just bought from the market.

Like many households in Lang Nu, this year's Tet, Dang Thi Nich's house is devoid of the laughter of children. While spreading the bed sheets, Nich recalls the memories of when the whole family slept in the same bed every night.

Not far away, Nguyen Van Thinh's house was bustling with people coming and going to prepare for the ancestral worship ceremony. Sitting quietly in the corner of the room, Mr. Thinh still wore a mourning scarf on his head. The recent flood had taken the lives of 14 of his relatives, including his father, mother, wife, 2 children and 2 younger brothers. On the day he moved into his new house, all his relatives were there to encourage him. "I'm also happy for him, hoping that in the future he will try to rise up and start over," said Mr. Hoang Van Dinh, a relative of Mr. Thinh.

"Since I've been back here, with the encouragement of the government and the people around me, I've somewhat overcome my loss. Although this year's Tet is not complete, I want to buy things and prepare a little to make my new house cozy," said Hoang Van Tin, owner of house number 16.

For the children of Lang Nu village, seeing peach blossoms in bloom means spring has come. Some of them lost their parents in the historic flood a few months ago, but the future is still "bright" in their eyes, just like the belief of the people here in a gradually stable life. Mr. Hoang Van Diep, head of Lang Nu village, was moved when mentioning the community that helped the village overcome the pain, building a new, more spacious village. Despite many difficulties, he affirmed his determination to work with the people to build the new Lang Nu village to be more beautiful, united and full of happiness.
