1 (a) [0:00] So that’s what life was like in Erkeč, and in all the villages.

2 (a) [0:03] And it was like that in all the villages, in Goritsa and surroundings,

3 (a) [0:06] those villages that you know. It was like that everywhere.

4 (a) [0:09] It’s possible that there wasn’t this sort of thing in the city,

5 (a) [0:11] I don’t know about the city. But in the villages it was like that everywhere.

6 (a) [0:15] There are oxen in every barn. A person gets up in the morning, harnesses them,

7 (a) [0:19] and goes out, [regardless of] whether he goes for wood or to the fields

8 (a) [0:23] You can’t get along without what we call a “chift” (pair [of oxen]), can you?

9 (GK) Without a “chift”. You can’t manage without a “chift”.

10 (a) [0:27] You can’t manage without a “chift”.

11 (GK) You can’t manage without a “chift”, because –

12 (a) [0:31] You’ve got to earn your [daily] bread.

13 (GK) One’s got to earn bread.

14 (a) [0:33] You have to earn bread, you have to bring in the wood, winter’s coming ̥–

15 (a) [0:40] That’s what life was like in the old days. Now we find it – I don’t know –

16 (a) [0:45] easier. Now we’re in “ready-made” [mode]. We go get bread at the bakery,

17 (a) [0:53] we neither reap nor dig, and yet money keeps on going out [of our pockets].

18 (GK) Money doesn’t even cover bread.

19 (a) [0:58] Money doesn’t cover bread, it doesn’t cover lots of things.

20 (a) [1:02] and there will be [many more things] that it won’t cover.

21 (GK) Many more things [laughter].

22 (a) [1:04] Many more things. It won’t cover drinking, or clothes, or shoes –

23 (GK) There won’t be anything to put on the “pod” (shelf area in village house)

24 (a) [1:11] That’s right.

25 (GK) Nothing on the “pod” [laughter].

26 (a) [1:12] There won’t be any “pod” (shelf) – the shelf will be on your back!

27 (GK) [laughter]

28 (RA) [laughter]

29 (GK) Your entire “pod” on your back!

30 (a) [1:17] Your “pod” will be on your back. But back then we’d weave, and put [it] in the “pod”.

31 (a) [1:22] Lots of wool! We weave, and spin, and we’d buy cotton and weave ourselves shirts.

32 (GK) Ah, of cotton.

33 (a) [1:29] Cotton shirts. Now we buy the fabric and weave – sew ourselves shirts.

34 (a) [1:34] Yes, from purchased fabric. But back then we wove the fabric.

35 (a) [1:40] and we sewed shirts for the children, for the men, for everyone.

36 (a) [1:44] That doesn’t get done easily.

37 (GK) Uh huh

38 (a) [1:47] You weave [on] the loom, and when you weave a full piece, you see – now here’s a skirt.

39 (a) [1:52] [But] back then we called it “vrahan” (red-checked woolen skirt).

40 (GK) Uh huh

41 (a) [1:55] We spin [the thread] from wool, and [then] we dye it, and [then] we weave it.

42 (a) [1:59] And it doesn’t get accomplished quickly. When will you [have time to] sleep?

43 (GK) Huh.

44 (a) [2:03] It was …

45 (GK) Whoever told you [it would be done] quickly? Truly, it’s …

46 (a) [2:05] Yes –

47 (GK) … hard work.

48 (a) [2:06] Hard, it was hard.

49 (GK) [cough]

50 (a) [2:09] You’ll knead the bread, you’ll bake it, you’ll eat [it]

51 (a) [2:13] But the bread we ate [tasted] sweet.

52 (GK) Uh huh

53 (a) [2:15] We ate sweet bread. We produce our own wheat, and [can] call our food pure.

54 (a) [2:21] Now they take it all over the warehouses, where they mix it with – with chemicals

55 (a) [2:26] and they spray it so it won’t let animals (= insects) [come near] –

56 (GK) Yes.

57 (a) [2:32] [cough] weevils or whatever, and they spray the wheat. With all this poisonous stuff.

58 (GK) I don’t know what they spray it with but…

59 (a) [2:46] Bread is no good at all now under such circumstances.

60 (a) [2:49] No good at all, [this] bread.

61 (GK) I don’t know what they spray it with but when I was a child, there were

62 (GK) these little insects that glimmer in the night. How do you call those?

63 (a) [2:59] Um, weevils

64 (GK) No, at night, when it gets dark.

65 (a) [3:02] Oh, fireflies!

66 (b) [3:03] Mosquitoes.

67 (GK) Fireflies.

68 (a) [3:04] [They] are [the ones] that glimmer …

69 (GK) Uh huh –

70 (a) [3:05] … and fly away, then glimmer again.

71 (GK) Uh huh –
