37 (MM) Yes, yes.

38 (a) [1:05] … we went [there], and I was in school up to the fourth grade.

39 (MM) Yes. And where was your mother born?

40 (a) [1:13] My mother is from Tsvetino

41 (MM) From Tsvetino. And your father?

42 (a) [1:16] My father is from here.

43 (MM) And [your] grandfather and grandmother?

44 (a) [1:18] They’re from here too.

45 (MM) All of them. So you’re all from here.

46 (MM) And I guess this Tsvetino is near here?

47 (a) [1:22] It’s somewhere over there, towards Sveta Petka.

48 (MM) [Sveta] Petka, yes.

49 (RA) Mmhm.

50 (MM) So, Granny Atidzhe, you were married here too –

51 (MM) your husband is from here, right?

52 (a) [1:30] He’s from here, yes.

53 (MM) Right. And your children live here?

54 (a) [1:32] [S]he lives here. This house [is] ours.

55 (MM) Ah, yes, look …

56 (RA) Ah, close by.

57 (MM) … what a nice big house you’ve built. So Granny Atidzhe, can you tell me

58 (MM) after you – after you finished school, what did the girls do then?

59 (a) [1:44] Well, then we girls worked. We ran about at the forestry collective, planting trees,

60 (a) [1:49] with [the help of] livestock. And then we did weaving and spinning. We did everything then,

61 (a) [1:56] agricultural [work] and all sorts of animal husbandry.

62 (MM) Yes.

63 (a) [2:01] We worked at everything then, and made a living for ourselves.

64 (MM) Yes.

65 (a) [2:05] The ones who had more property worked on their property,

66 (a) [2:09] and the ones who had less property, when they finished [work] on their land,

67 (a) [2:13] they went off somewhere to earn a lev [or two].

68 (MM) Did you [and yours] go to the outside to work somewhere?

69 (a) [2:19] No. [We stayed] here in our area and went off to work on planting trees.

70 (MM) Yes.

71 (a) [2:23] Ah.

72 (MM) So. Now a young girl needs to prepare her dowry, isn’t that right?
