这就是为什么当他们决定离婚时我并不伤心,
01:36

15

16
141240
8340
妈妈一起搬到了另一个地方我们在我妈妈的一个朋友那里租了一个房间
02:32
but we didn't have much money I remember my  mom used to pay 50 dollars a month or that  
17
152820
7860
但是我们没有多少钱我记得我妈妈过去一次付50美元一个月或那个
02:40
room it was more like a favor I think because the  owner of the house was one of her best friends
18
160680
9300
房间,我认为这更像是一个恩惠,因为房子的主人是她最好的朋友之一,很快
02:53
soon we have to move to a different place because  that house was too small for the three of us  
19
173340
6060
我们就必须搬到另一个地方,因为那所房子对于我们三个人来说太小了,
03:00
we were growing up and we need  a room for me and my brother  
20
180360

我们长大了,我们我和我兄弟需要一个房间,
03:05

21
185100
5400
所以我们搬到了另一所房子,这次它更大
03:13
but we could only stay there for a year because  after that the house was going to be sold well if  
22
193440
7620
,但我们只能在那里住一年,因为在那之后房子会卖得很好,如果
03:21
there for a year and then we could take a piece of  a land near there many poor people used to do that
23
201060
8640
在那里住一年,然后我们可以买一套附近有一块土地,很多穷人过去常常这样做,
03:33
it was a group of poor people living in that  place it was like a mountain there we had to  
24
213600
8400
那是一群穷人住在那个地方,就像一座山,我们
03:42
sleep on the floor at first because we didn't have  a bed or furniture we were really poor remember
25
222000
8460
一开始不得不睡在地板上,因为我们没有床或家具。我们真的很穷,记得
03:54
we had to live there in a very small place with  four walls without a bed or furniture we didn't  
26
234300
8160
我们不得不住在一个很小的地方,有四堵墙,没有床或家具,我们
04:02
even have a kitchen or a stove so we had to buy  food from a place which sold food at a low price
27
242460
8520
甚至没有厨房或炉子,所以我们不得不从一个以低价出售食物的地方购买食物
04:14
I remember it cost one dollar soup main dish and  fruit it was not delicious but at least we could  
28
254520
9720
。记得它花了一美元汤主菜和水果它不好吃但至少我们可以
04:24
eat something we had to go there every day on  time otherwise they could leave us without food
29
264240
7920
吃一些我们每天必须按时去那里的东西否则他们可能会让我们没有食物无论如何
04:35
anyway we had many shortcomings but we were happy  I mean I had my brother by my side and I used to  
30
275100
10260
我们有很多缺点但我们很高兴我的意思是我有我哥哥在我身边,我
04:45

31
285360
8460
每周都会去看望我的其他兄弟姐妹,虽然不一样,但至少我们
04:55
while we were living in that mountain  my brother and I made a lot of friends  
32
295440
5460
住在那座山里的时候有时可以一起玩,我和哥哥交了很多朋友,
05:01
we used to play together all the time every day  
33
301860
4080
我们过去常常一起玩。每天
05:05
my mom used to get mad at us because  we stayed out playing until night
34
305940
5940
我妈妈都会生我们的气,因为我们在外面玩到晚上,
05:15
but we were happy anyway soon the side directive  I mean the people who were like the presidents  
35
315960
9120
但无论如何很快我们就很高兴了,我的意思是像 我们居住的镇上的
05:25
of the town where we were living had to make  an inspection they had to check some things
36
325080
7920
总统这样的人 必须进行检查 必须检查一些事情,
05:35

37
335700
7860
他们有一些规则,如果我们想住在那里,我们必须遵守这些规则,主要规则是,
05:43
if you wanted to live there you wouldn't have to  have another house or your own house you get it
38
343560
8160
如果你想住在那里,你不必拥有另一所房子或你自己的房子,你明白了,
05:56
my mom didn't have her own house the other house  where we used to live was my father's and he  
39
356040
8580
我妈妈她没有自己的房子,我们以前住的另一栋房子是我父亲的,他
06:04
stayed there he was living there so I thought  now we are not going to have any problem right
40
364620
8220
住在那里,他住在那里,所以我想现在我们不会有任何问题,
06:16
so we did not care about that matter my mom used  to sell medicinal herbs natural things to heal  
41
376620
8580
所以我们不关心我妈妈用过的那件事卖草药天然的东西来治愈
06:25

385200
8220
