                “I knew something, but not much...!”

                “Now you can choose what you really want for your family
            life or leave the village again as you were before.”

                “Man...    Why  you  said  that...?    In  surprise  voice,  asked,
            Nguyen’s father.”


                The man faced Trung-Tinh in serious.

                “Because I do not want to hear about your sorry voice.”

                Nguyen’s  father  looks  across  the  dinner  table  to  face  his
            cousin  then  turn  to  his  wife,  who  was  sitting  beside  him  and
            quiet.

                “Man.  Why  you  said  that?  Again,  I  need  you  to  explain
            clearly...” Asked, Trung-Tinh.


                The man looked Nguyen’s mother, and sigh.

                “Because everything was changed during the wartime even
            the villager’s opinion. It is not like before such as the time you
            were in the village!

                I will die for this land, but you can not...!”  replied, Man.


                “Why...? I was born here...! I related to this place whatever
            it was...!


                The man took a long  sigh, shook his head and said in his
            low voice.

                “Yes.  Your eyes have opened at the first time in this poor
            village, but you left it for a long time, and now you were back
            with the different situation. It was not good for you....”

                “What you try to tell me? Please tell me now....!”
