According to the clip, when she saw a group of soldiers marching past the store, the woman quickly picked up each orange and offered it to everyone in the group. The store owner even brought the basket of oranges out near the road, so that each passing soldier could conveniently pick them up, without wasting time on the march.

This moment, when appearing on social networks, quickly attracted 2.5 million views and hundreds of thousands of likes and comments. Many people expressed their excitement and thanked the fruit shop owner couple for their meaningful actions.

Speaking with Dan Tri reporter, Ms. Nguyen Thi Tu (36 years old, in Song Cong city, Thai Nguyen ) confirmed that she is the owner of the clip that is spreading on social networks.

Ms. Tu said the video was filmed on the afternoon of February 13, when the woman accidentally saw a group of soldiers marching past her house.

"My house is near the army barracks, so every time the marching group passes by, I am moved, both with love and gratitude.

In that group, there were very young soldiers who had to train and march hard. Looking at the silhouettes of soldiers, I thought of my son, who was the same age but had not done anything great yet," Ms. Tu shared.

According to the shop owner, when the army convoy passed by, there were customers in the shop. Seeing the convoy approaching, she quickly reminded the customers to pay quickly so that they could bring the fruits out to give to the soldiers. Everyone understood and happily supported them, some even ran out to see.

"Yesterday's group was only about 50 people, but once I brought gifts to a group of hundreds of people. Yesterday the restaurant had customers so I didn't have time to prepare more.

I blamed myself for not preparing enough fruit to share. Seeing everyone waiting, I felt extremely guilty," she said.

The woman said that in the past, she had given the soldiers 14-15 kg of apples and tangerines. Yesterday, she brought a basket of oranges weighing about 16-17 kg to share. There were still some strawberries, but because the group moved so quickly, she had not had time to bring them out.

'Before, I picked each orange and handed them out to everyone, but doing so caused some people to receive them, while others did not, which made me feel very guilty. Yesterday, learning from experience, I carried the whole basket of oranges so that the "soldiers" could take them more easily.

The young soldiers were very cheerful and polite. They always bowed their heads and said, "Thank you!" Some even turned back after they had left and shouted, "Thank you!", she said.

Not only does she have many memories with the army, Ms. Tu said that many of her customers also wear military uniforms.

"The soldiers helped us a lot, from gardening, digging ditches to harvesting crops, they were always ready to support us with everything," she shared.

The fruit shop owner said she initially posted the clip on TikTok for fun, but did not expect it to receive so much attention.

"Before, I really wanted to do this but I was hesitant, afraid of being called vain. People said that my parents were not filial but went to the army. But in reality, I did not let my parents lack anything.

Moreover, since participating in many charity activities, I have gradually gotten used to this and am no longer afraid of being criticized," Tu confided.

According to her, this is also a way to teach children.

"I want my children to see and understand that sometimes, giving doesn't need a reason. During the recent storm, I also called for food to share with everyone. The fruit that couldn't be sold or damaged was fine. But after the storm, people came to support me in large numbers. I just keep giving, and one day I will receive it back," the store owner confided.
