I returned to our village in 1924. Life improved a bit. My mother and sister earned their living by sewing. The biggest value in the family was our ‘Singer’ sewing machine. My mother and sister made women’s and men’s clothes and all the villagers were their clients. They paid with food products: eggs, chicken or even a loaf of bread – my mother and sister were content with any pay they could get.
