I lived on a small farm in Pennsylvania with my parents, two elder sisters, and a younger brother. We had an old horse, a cow, a few pigs, some chickens, and a big garden. Food was not a problem. We had our own supply of milk, meat, eggs, fresh vegetables, and Mommas homemade bread. As a boy of nine, I had only a vague (模糊的) idea of what it meant to live during hard times. The weekly newspaper would carry pictures of people standing in line for bread, and the evening broadcast would tell about the huge number of jobless people and their hardships. But these reports referred to people in the cities, and we lived in the country. We never went to bed hungry, and we didnt stand in line for bread. Although my father was fortunate to have a job at the feed mill (饲料 加工厂), eighteen dollars a week was only enough to pay the electric bill and to buy necessities. Momma earned a few dollars baking pies and bread. To make nightclothes, Momma used the cotton bags in which the food for our chickens came. It wasnt until years later when my high­school class went on an overnight trip that I got my first store­bought nightwear. When a piece of clothing was worn out, it wasnt thrown away. First, all the buttons were removed, grouped by size and color, and put in cans or glass jars. Then the clothing was examined, and the best parts were saved for making rugs (地毯). Alm
