"Hello, son. I came back from work. What a tiring（令人疲劳的） day. How are you? Hello, dad. I'm fine. I made some rice with eggs.

  Do it for dinner." Oh, that's great. I like it. What happened? Why are you sad? No, nothing.

  Everything's fine. Let's eat. I also made some lemonade（柠檬水）, dad. Excellent（卓越的）. That's my son. But why is the house dirty?

  Didn't you clean it? I have already（早已） told you. We are poor, but we are not dirty. We have to keep the house clean. Poverty（贫困） is not synonymous（同义的） with dirt（尘）. What happened?

  You always cleaned the house. Oh, the house. I'm sorry. I arrived a little late today. I just made dinner. Don't worry（ 担忧）.

  That's okay. I will clean the house after having dinner. No, no. I will do it later. But there is something I have to tell you, dad. I know, I know.

  What is that thing? What makes you sad, my dear son? Tell me. It's the teacher. She keeps telling me about the books and… no, never mind（介意）. It's not important, dad.

  Let's have dinner. I will wash the dishes. Give me a minute. Wait. What happened? Tell me.

  Why don't you want to tell me? It's the teacher. She wants me to buy the books for tomorrow, but I know we can't. Oh, your books. Yes, I know that. I have already thought about it, son.

  I talked to my boss（老板）. He will give me an extra job. He says I can work in his（他的） garden after work. What? But you work all day. You work from 6 in the morning till（ 直到） 5 in the afternoon.

  And you also work at night. You have two jobs. What time will you work in that garden? Well, I go to work at 8 in the evening. I have like three hours free. That's enough（足够的）.

  It will just be a couple（夫妇） of hours, but he promised（允诺） he would pay me very well. So that's great.
