13
123240
10500
无论如何,我和我的兄弟一开始非常想念我的爸爸六个月了,我妈妈也很伤心,
02:13
at the beginning we thought it was because of my  father but no it was because she was worried about  
14
133740
6480

us my siblings and me she had to work all day so  she wasn't at home for us she woke up very early  
15
140220
10680
我们、我和我的兄弟姐妹,她必须整天工作,所以她不在家照顾我们。很早起床
02:30
and made breakfast and lunch for us we also helped  her in the little storage she had and that is how  
16
150900
9300
,为我们做早餐和午餐,我们还帮助她整理她仅有的小储藏室,这就是
02:40
we spent our days trying to improve our lives my  mom woke up at about four in the morning every  
17
160200
8460
我们如何度过这一天,努力改善我们的生活,我妈妈每天早上四点左右醒来,
02:48
day because she had to go to buy the products  for her story I think they were cheaper at that  
18
168660
7860
因为她必须去购买她的故事的产品,我认为
02:56
time of the day then she worked in the store  from six in the morning to seven in the evening
19
176520
6960
一天中的那个时间它们更便宜,然后她从早上六点到晚上七点在商店工作,
03:06
then she used to sell food in her store to earn  more money of course we needed the money so much  
20
186240
8820
然后她过去常常在商店里卖食物当然可以赚更多的钱我们非常需要钱
03:15
and my mom didn't earn much money with the store  so she used to be out until 10 or 11 in the night
21
195060
9480
,而我妈妈在商店赚的钱不多,所以她常常出去到晚上 10 点或 11 点,
03:27
we try to help her of course but it was not enough  we were only children we couldn't get a good job  
22
207420
8520
我们当然尽力帮助她,但这还不够,我们只是孩子,我们无能为力。找不到一份好工作
03:35
so we helped her where we could we also try to  sell some things but it was never enough never
23
215940
9900
,所以我们尽可能帮助她,我们也尝试卖一些东西,但这永远不够,
03:48
one day we went to her store and we saw our  mom with a man it was one of my mom's friend  
24
228540
