- Isn't it too sweet?

- Very good.

I put some chocolate in.

That's why it's so good.

- Aaah... coffee, plus chocolate... plus sugar...

- Well, a tiny treat...

Yes, but what if your

old man gets diabetes?

- Well, from now on...

- It doesn't matter anymore. I can die, right?

No, no, but you don't get

diabetes at this age...

You're not allowed to die,

don't you know how expensive funerals are?!

- Don't even think of dying!

- They're expensive, but...

You can just throw me in a pit.

Do you think I'd do that?

Then everyone would say

I have lived in vain.

God bless.

You too.

He's been here for two hours.

He's coming one more time.

- The weeds are slowing down his work.

- Well, let him do it twice.

He's already doing it, can't you see?

Up to that place.

You please ask him how much I have to pay.

You can hear better. I, myself...

Step away!

He's a real talent!

Of course he is.

He worked in Germany, can't you tell?

It's a different world, didn't you know?

- Well done, don't you think?

- Yes, very good.

You can feel the plowing

I made last autumn.

See you next autumn...

Step back to your place.

Here, eat.

Now step away and let me

clean your droppings.

Come...

Good girl!

It looks like I have to

make some more rugs...

... for the two of us.

- I hope this time, they'll be for us, not for...

- I hope they'll be...

- For whom?!

- For me!

Oh, look at you! I made them

and you want them only for yourself?

Yes. Because if I die first,

you'll know what to give away.

But if you die, God knows

how I'll manage with those.

You'll give what you see in my room.

Right...

We have 52 rugs. We need more.

- How many?

- 52.

That's all?

- We need more.

- Yes, we do.

Mrs. Nazaria finally told him.

This loom is the dowry my

father-in-law gave me.

A treasure. A real treasure!

Thanks to your hands, that work on it.

That's it.

And the brains...

This life passes by so fast!

You're happy for what you leave behind.

Right.

We... We have 8 grandchildren...

- And great-grandchildren.

- Two great-granddaughters...

A third one on the way...

I feel like... Like that story used to say:

"With one eye I cry,

with the other, I laugh"

One cries for those who're gone,

the other is happy for

those who're coming...

This is how it is.

That's life.

That's life.

That's it.

Aww...

Oh, dear God! What are you...?!

- I don't know what I'd do with a belly like that!

- What would you do?

It's an expensive belly!

- Yes, I bet.

- Of course it is!

Look at these pretty and manicured hands.

How could they not be

clean if you are a baker?

We're making sweet bread, right?

This apron barely fits you.

You're like a big cheese.

I have many, but they don't fit you.

I once had a nice apron,

when I used to breed bees.

You did?

Of course I did.

I don't remember that.

I had one.

My bees liked it.

They liked colors: white, blue, green...

When I was a kid,

I loved visiting my grandparents.

- Children don't feel like that anymore.

- Yes, they do...

Only if you send them.

Now they're busy learning

the new lifestyles.

At least in school, do you think

they teach them about the old times?

- At school?

- Yes.

At school they teach them...

How to have sex...

How to protect themselves...

this kind of things.

This is education nowadays.

Thank God they don't teach our cows the same

thing, otherwise they wouldn't reproduce...

I'm happy my children and

grandchildren love me.

How could we not?

Yes, they only have one grandpa...

one great-grandpa.

- One grandpa.

- And great-grandpa.

They always ask "How's grandpa doing?"

"How's grandma?"

Look, I forgot my watch...

I can't feed the cow without my watch.

I was young when I got married,

You were young and we were hurried.

In the night of our big wedding,

It was raining, it was raging,

It was dark, I couldn't see

The girl sitting next to me.

And she was an ugly maid,

I was young when I got married.

I was young when I got married...

And I took her dowry,

And hid the girl rapidly.

I was young when I got married...

The dowry was eaten by mice,

The plain girl stayed, I don't tell lies.

I was young when I got married...

The dowry was eaten by mice,

The plain girl stayed, I don't tell lies.

I was young when I got married...

When I say:
"Let's go to a wedding!"

She goes to bed and starts her snoring.

I was young when I got married...

When I say "Let's go to a dance!"

She hides under what she finds

I was young when I got married...

When I look for the sour cream,

It has mildew to the brim.

I was young when I got married...

Here.

When I'm looking for the soup,

There are worms that twist and loop.

I was young when I got married...

Come and save me from her, mummy,

She might eat me in a hurry!

Less, less this time.

Come and save me from her, mummy,

She might eat me in a hurry

- "Last night she didn't eat me cause

I had my axe near me" - Right.

Last night she didn't eat me

'Cause I had my axe near me.

I was young when I got married...

If I would sing this, she'd get mad.

No, I just forgot part of it.

I was young when I got married...

You weren't that young when you married!

You had your age!

- Not that young, huh?

- Not too young.

- I wasn't that young, but I took a young girl!

- Yes, you married a young one.

I took a young girl...

With money and a loom.

I took a "loomy-girl".

Put this one there.

I took a young girl with a loom,

And she weaves from night till... noon?

I think they'll fit just well in the stove.

I'll sit down for a minute.

- Even the dog sings now?!

- Listen!...

OK... Let's hear it.

He likes it.

Oh my, what a stupid dog!

Mr. Costica!

It must be the mailman.

- Mr. Costica!

- Yes, yes, come in!

- Good day!

- Hello! We've been waiting for you.

- You have?

- For about a month!...

Always busy, huh?

Yes, we're getting ready for Easter.

- Here, take a seat.

- Take a seat.

- 6, 8... 9...

- I've never seen this new bills before.

Wait! Let's see what we got.

I hope it's not something bad.

If it was bad, it would have the

"BAD" stamp on it. An Easter card?

An invitation from Lucian and Roxana,

our dear children.

- You should put away some of that money now.

- I'll start making a carpet...

- What?! An invitation?!

- Look! From Lucian!

Lucian and Roxana.

- Who are they? Your grandchildren?

- Yes, my grandson... My dear grandson!

- Let me see the date.

- I think it's in July.

One more pension, and that's it!

- On the 5th of July, right?

- Yes, the 5th.

- Let's see if we can go.

- We'll go... Even if we have to walk on our knees.

I must hurry with that carpet.

You moved the loom... It's here in

summertime and inside during winter?

It's good here.

I see better in this light.

Here she can also see the cows,

the hens, the whole yard.

She can see the hawk

when it comes after our chicken.

- Bye-bye! Happy Easter!

- You too. Take care!

Did I give you your newspaper?

I don't know.
