Every month, the family received a subsidy of 13 kilos of rice, which was called rice but was actually half cassava and half rice, but the cassava was moldy because it was stored in the warehouse. In addition, each month they received more than a kilo of meat, but he was very generous and easy-going, dividing the meat into three parts, giving each of his children's families a portion..."
