Ngày Vía Thần Tài: Con đợi mẹ mua vàng để mang may mắn đi học

From early in the morning on January 10 (February 19), in front of many gold shops, there were scenes of crowded people lining up to buy gold, even though the atmosphere was slightly less lively than usual at this time of year.

At 6:55, Pham Minh K. (5th grade, Ha Dong District, Hanoi) and his mother arrived at a gold shop on Quang Trung Street. K.’s mother went in to buy gold for luck, while K. sat waiting in the car. K. said that after buying gold, his mother would take him to school, at 8:00 to class.

Like every day, Mrs. T.H., Ha Dong District, Hanoi, wakes up at 5 am to exercise. Today, after finishing her exercise, she rode her bike to a gold shop on Quang Trung Street to buy gold for luck. Arriving at 6:45, Mrs. H. took about 25 minutes to complete the transaction.

Meanwhile, at “gold street” Tran Nhan Tong (Hai Ba Trung District, Hanoi), Mr. Pham Huy Quyet, Hoang Mai District, Hanoi, woke up at 3 am to buy gold. He said that for the past 8 consecutive years, he has bought gold on Lucky Money Day for luck. Mr. Quyet was the second person to arrive early to buy gold.

Unlike previous years, at 5 am on Lucky Money Day this year at the gold-selling point, it was quite lively at Cau Giay Street, Hanoi, without scenes of people lining up to buy. At this time, the store did not have the image of people queuing up.

Mr. Vu Van Bach, the first customer to buy gold at the store on Vu Tung Street, Binh Thanh District (Ho Chi Minh City), shared that every year on Lucky Money Day, he buys 1 gram of gold ring to wish for luck and prosperity. Throughout the year, if needed, he will buy more gold for storage.

As one of the lucky ones who bought gold early when the store opened for trading, Mr. Bui Manh Duong, 41 years old, Bac Tu Liem District, Hanoi, shared that he buys gold on Lucky Money Day in the hope of having more luck and fortune in the new year.

According to Mr. Duong, his tradition of lining up to buy gold at the beginning of the year has been ongoing for 8 years. Despite the inconvenience of queuing up to buy gold early, he still feels happy.

Maintaining the tradition of buying gold at the beginning of the year for many years, this year Mrs. Hoang Thi Bich Ngoc, 43 years old, Cau Giay District (Hanoi), felt comfortable and convenient when buying gold on Lucky Money Day without having to stand in line like previous years.

Ms. Ngoc believes that buying gold on Lucky Money Day carries a lot of meaning, marking the start of a new year full of hope. For her, it brings joy, freshness, and opportunities to welcome the new year with happiness.

At SJC Nguyen Thi Minh Khai, Mr. Linh, District 10, Ho Chi Minh City, said that he arrived early to buy 1 gram of Lucky Money gold for luck on Lucky Money Day.

Every year, he had no intention of buying gold on this day, but this year he started a business, so he also hopes for luck, fortune, and expects his work to go smoothly in the new year.
