Waiting for the sky to brighten, just got out of bed, put on a shirt, put on a pair of slippers, Mr. Thanh was furious, cycled straight to his nephew's house, and scolded from the gate:

- Where is Hung? Just woken up and already forgot the gratitude of his ancestors, the gratitude of those who sacrificed their blood and bones for him to have enough food, warm clothes, and a peaceful life like today. I really cannot accept such thoughts. This family cannot have a grandchild like that!

From inside the house, Mr. Huyen, Hung's father, came out, scratching his head and ears in confusion:

- I invite you in. Please calm down. It's early in the morning, I don't know what's wrong with your child that you're so harsh with him. Today he left early to go to the other district to get some bricks to rebuild the pond bank. He'll probably be back later.

Still not calmed down, Mr. Thanh showed his phone to Mr. Huyen and said loudly:

- Look, I don't understand where your son learned the habit of speaking ill of the government and also disregarding the etiquette towards heroes and martyrs. Not only that, he also promotes the arguments of hostile forces, defames history, and forgets the gratitude of those who sacrificed their blood for this country. Let me ask you, is that acceptable? At the next family meeting, I will bring this up for discussion.

- Hey, please! Please calm down and let me teach my nephew. It must be because the other day he illegally used an excavator to level the field and the garden, and the commune officials came down to make a report, so he was angry and said nonsense like that. I have advised and reminded him, but it seems he still hasn't "taken" what I said.

- With that in mind, I feel somewhat reassured. But if you do something wrong, you have to take responsibility. You cannot be dissatisfied, distort, speak ill of the government, or even insult history and the souls of heroes and martyrs just because you have been punished for a violation.

- Yes, sir, I understand. The fact that our commune is renovating the Martyrs' Memorial and organizing activities to honor those who have contributed to the revolution is to demonstrate the tradition and morality of "When drinking water, remember its source", to be grateful for the sacrifices of previous generations for the independence and freedom of the Fatherland, for the happiness of the people. The people in the commune fully support it, sir. What Hung did was very wrong, from unreasonable personal dissatisfaction to thoughts and actions that go against tradition, morality, and even violate the law, which is unacceptable. I am his father, I apologize to you and promise to be responsible in advising him to realize the problem and remove those wrong words.

- You are right! You must make it clear to your son that what he did was not only wrong but also an excuse for disgruntled and hostile people to take advantage of and speak ill of the government, our regime, and deny our nation's history.

- Yes sir, please take your time and drink your tea. When Hung comes back, I will analyze it for him...
