The Depression (萧条) didn’t make much change in my grandparents’ lives. But it did bring an unending flow of men out of 1 , drifting (being carried) from job to job, to the farm. The 2 to show up at the door of the kitchen was a man in rags. He quietly 3 that he hadn’t eaten for a while. Grandpa stood watching him a 4 , then said, “There’s a stack (堆,垛) of firewood against the fence behind the barn (谷仓). I’ve been 5 to get it moved to the other side of the fence.
