Farmer
After his military career he went back to his family to help them with the farm, Vietnam had very rich fertile soil so most of the crops my grandpa and his family planted was rice, there were many rice fields but other than rice he and his family planted cassavas, gourds, pitaya, and bitter melon. and plants were not the only thing they had, they also raised cows,pigs and chickens.
