In the days leading up to Tet, Quang took advantage of making flowers in time to return to his hometown to celebrate Tet with his family. “I love crochet so it’s not difficult for me to create and make flowers. Just working hard and focusing will produce beautiful products. Just like many flower farmers who want to sell products to customers on occasion. The same goes for me during Tet.
