(VOVWORLD) - The days of waiting for summer-autumn rice to bloom, for the people in Ong Hao village (also known as Hao village) in Hung Yen province, is not leisure time. From the sixth and seventh lunar month of the year, every house in the village becomes very busy making toys for the Mid-Autumn Festival.
