A person who I can never forget

My brother and I are brought up by my granddad, my father's father. Because we had a babysitter, both my brother and I did not have to go a kindergarten, and so we stayed at home a whole day with granddad. After parents headed for the job, three people in the house, a pensioner and two jobless, used to pass time doing something funny as much as we could. 

     "I need to refer to my country's society at that time. My generation grew up in a extraordinary period of time. In the one hand, we were luckless because my country was in a transition from communist system to a market economy. As a result of that, we had a lack of foods and clothes. Some of my peers say that due to deficiency of nourishment, we couldn't get necessary nutrition that we had to and so that now we are short. kkk. It could be. In the other hand, we are lucky that our childhood were unparalleled in comparison with other new generations. Somehow we used to come up with games to enjoy ourselves. We have grown up physically strong" 

Let's go on main idea. As I said about our society, we had just a few kind of foods such as meat, bread, sugar, milk, few candies... . Therefore, buying those daily products was not as easy as now we buy them from supermarkets. In the morning, long lines of people waited for the shop's opening time. What's more, shopping centres were also very few that can be counted on the fingers of one hand in my district. I mean it. So every morning granddad got there just with just enough money for two breads. It used to take a long time to come back home with breads from the shopping centre. As brother and I were waiting for granddad, we used to be starving so much as well as we were too young to cook for us. About two hours later, my grandfather used to bring two breads and some candies for brother and me. He got there with just enough money for two breads. But he sold the breads to someone else in the line increasing its real price a little bit after buying them. After two or three times, he made money to buy something sweet for his grandchildren.

My first sales experience

I am not a sales person and have not gained any experience in the field of sales. Nevertheless, I have a very little experience of selling soft drinks in my teenager. When I was at age of approximately ten, I wanted to buy a car collections, which costed one dollar in a shop, and I didn't have money for it. It was fairly expensive particularly for a boy my age - besides, I relied on my parents for money. My father is a quite tight-fisted and doesn't like to bring my brother and me up amid wealthy. I really wanted to have that car collection so I made up my mind to make money without someone's help. At that time, 50 cents soft drinks was popular, and it was practically only an option. I came up with an idea of selling soft drinks. Then I could find 50 cents somehow and subsequent sold them for 100 cents,which is doubled price. In the end of the day, I reached my aim and collected 1 dollar and bought the car collection. What was the most hilarious is that I bought those soft drinks from a factory, which was very small and had only two employee in it, and sold them outside the entrance of the factory to passer-by or someone coming to the factory to buy soft drinks. If the staff in the factory had known me selling their products outside the factory for doubled price, they would not have let me simply.

My cousin and me

My mother has eight siblings who took after their father's carpentry and skill to draw. Most of them have at least two children. The boy of the oldest brother of my mother grow close to my family. Not so close, but closer than other cousins. He is pretty tall and has narrow eyes and a big Roman nose so he principally looks like angry, but in fact he's not. When I was young, about eleven or twelve years old, I accompanied him to visit one of our relatives to just hang out. Our destination was slightly farther than my home. Besides, it was public holiday and pie shops and pie retailers were everywhere. We were starving and spontaneously headed towards a line of people who were waiting to buy pies. The line of people was quite long and most of people in the line were buying at least twenty pies. At that time, I didn't have some money, but my cousin had some money for just one pie. What a shame, luckily I was young. lol. If I had been at my cousin's age, I would have been embarrassed to be standing in the queue. Eventually, our turn came and he shamelessly purchased one pie.

Worn clothes of brother

I think everyone who has older brother or sister has the same problem as me. When I was young, I usually wore old clothes of my older brother. These clothes are not only old but very, very old. While my friends wore new t-shirt and pants, I consumed worn clothes. I am not exaggerating. What a shame. What a pity. Most of them had already faded, and some of them were slightly big to me.

When I was age of four or five, I went to shop with my mother. It was winter. The shop we were going was far from my home, and it was cold outside. So we had to get on the bus. My mother held my hand. When bus came, My mother got on the bus first. After she got on, Bus door was closed. But I didn't get on yet. Only my left hand was inside.
