Work in the family
-
Before he married my mother, my father was
-
with a family of peasants who were working for my mother’s family, who were called “servants” at the time.

-
In the winter, since you couldn’t do much in the fields,

my father would help us more with these things, while in the summer he was always working.

-

-
Then we left, we went away,
