Early in the morning, Da Lat is cold.

To have such a smooth life, both of them had to go through difficult and miserable days.

The house was built by hand by Kiet and Trang in 5 months in Ta Nung, Da Lat.

Six years ago, when he was 18 years old, Kiet met and fell in love with Trang after a business course in Ho Chi Minh City.

The work doesn’t take much time, so Kiet has a few square meters of land at home to grow vegetables.

With 30 million VND left in his pocket, Kiet and a friend rented a 3-hectare garden full of fruit trees and forest trees. The profit at the end of the year was divided in half with the owner.

At that time, Le Kiet invited his lover to come to the garden with him, but she only visited for a few days and then left.

In April 2019, Kiet took out a loan and bought a piece of land located on a hill southwest of Da Lat city, an area without electricity or water.

With previous gardening experience, Kiet began cleaning and clearing the garden with Trang’s help.

After nearly half a year of hard work, the two completed a two-story house 4 meters high and 50 square meters wide.

Everything is gradually fine, except for the empty kitchen.
