The story behind the 60,000 VND wedding envelope of two boys in Hanoi

(Dan Tri) - Two boys in Hanoi collected cardboard and cans to sell for money, and sent them as wedding gifts to their mother's former colleagues with the message: "Wishing you and your mother happiness and giving birth to a handsome baby like us."

On November 11, social media shared a picture of a cute wedding envelope from the "Tý Mon brothers" with 60,000 VND. Under the "recipient" section of the envelope, the two boys wrote: "Wishing you happiness and giving birth to a handsome baby like us."

According to the article, the bride is a close friend of the children's parents and has often visited their home since the children were toddlers. The older child is 12 years old and the younger child is 7 years old, and the couple has a special wedding invitation.

"The two of us had a plan to go to her hometown for her wedding, diligently collecting cardboard and cans to sell to earn money to have a fancy envelope. Today, looking at the congratulatory envelope of the two of us, I burst out laughing," the article quoted.

The story of the two boys' cute wedding envelope quickly spread across social networking forums, attracting thousands of likes and comments.

"I really thank and admire the family for raising two extremely lovely children. After reading the article, I forgot all my frustration. I wish the family always full of joy and loveliness," user Mai Thu Huyen wrote.

"The act of the uncle and aunt giving the two children special invitations is part of the reason why they acted so cutely. Children, the more you respect them, the more they will do things that will touch and surprise adults," shared Hong Nhung.

Speaking to Dan Tri reporter, Ms. NTL (Hanoi), mother of two boys, said that she was a colleague of the bride named Hang more than 10 years ago. Although they no longer work together, the two still maintain a close relationship, often visiting each other's houses.

From their adult friendship, Ms. L.'s two sons gradually became close to their mother's former colleagues. Before the wedding day, Ms. Hang wrote two invitations, sent separately to Ms. L.'s husband and wife and Ty Mon's two brothers.

"My husband and I told our two children that if Ms. Hang sent separate wedding invitations, they would have to have their own envelopes," Ms. L. recalled.

The mother said that for several years now, the family has maintained the habit of not giving their two sons money to buy pens, notebooks, and school supplies. The children were instructed to collect cardboard and scraps to sell for money, thus learning to appreciate the value of money.

Therefore, after receiving the wedding invitation, Ty Mon and his brother started collecting cardboard and scraps from home, the store where their mother worked, and asking people around them to sell them, earning a total of 58,000 VND. Ms. L. added 2,000 VND to make it 60,000 VND, to help her two sons prepare wedding envelopes for their former colleagues' wedding.

At the wedding that took place on November 9-10 in Thai Binh , Ms. Hang and her husband were surprised and happy to receive wedding envelopes from the two brothers Ty Mon.

"The day we brought the wedding invitations to the family, the two of us were smiling from ear to ear, but a few days later, my mother said that we were under a lot of pressure, thinking about what to sell for scrap to earn money to put in the envelopes for the uncle and aunt," Ms. Hang said, laughing.

According to Ms. Hang, the two boys worked hard, carrying cardboard boxes up and down the stairs many times, and collecting bottles to sell as scrap.

On the wedding day, the two children not only wished that the couple would "give birth to a handsome baby like us", but also wished that "the couple would be healthy and that the aunt wouldn't hit the uncle". After hearing this, the bride's family laughed so hard their stomachs hurt.

After the wedding, seeing the image of the two children's envelopes spread all over social networks, Ms. Hang was very surprised.

"The two children are very lovely and their parents have a wayof educating their children that is worth learning," said Ms. Hang.

Ms. L. expressed her love for small and cute things, so she often follows groups to find positive energy. Occasionally, she shares stories about her family, such as the envelope from her two sons.

"The story is as simple and pure as the children think. If what you do makes people happy, it's wonderful, contributing to spreading positive things in this life," the mother confided.
