Scope and content
In the second part of the interview Salvu explains the type of tools they used for the fields. Most work was done by hand tools and beasts of burden. They stood by this system for a long time and did not change to modern machinery immediately. He narrated his memories of the second world war, the horror and hardships they faced. He also exclaimed how much of their produce they had to hand over to the government because of lack of food during the war and after. Salvu stated that changes have to take place, but we must be cautious of the dangers they hold.
