dialogue 4

Now here's the conversation for exercise four.
A grandmother talks with her granddaughter on a Sunday morning.
小云啊,八点半了,还不起来?
Oh,奶奶,今天是星期天,让人家多睡一会儿吗?
现在的年轻人真有福气,睡到八点半还不想起。 我们做儿媳妇的时候,五点钟就得起来,做全家人的早饭了。 哪能睡到八点半?
那都是过去的事儿了。
是啊,过去的事儿真是没办法说。 我跟你爷爷结婚的时候,爷爷家很有钱,也有不少土地。 我们家里没什么财产。 到了人家家里,一大家人都看着我这个新来的儿媳妇,怎么办呢? 我只好做了这呀,做内呀,一天到晚没有停的时候。 哎,幸亏你爷爷是个好人,我的日子才好过一点。
现在不同了,现在年轻人结婚以后,不用再担心这些了。
可是规矩还是得有啊,得有礼貌,家里老人都起来了,你还睡在床上,那怎么行?
好了,好了,奶奶,我马上就起来了,你听,谁在敲门呢?
还问什么,还不是你的朋友来了?
老家,老家,好奶奶,你去开门吧,我快把屋子收拾一下。
好,好,好,我就去,你快收拾吧。


这就是结束了,结束了社会模式,图4,图2。
