The Bloscas depend on Melinda’s trade of selling vegetables and her husband’s infrequent construction works. Now, with the rice aid, they could save up their money to be used in their other needs, “The money that we would be saving would be used to buy rice once we consumed all the rice you have given us.”
Ang pamilya Blosca ay umaasa sa pagtitinda ng gulay ni Melinda at sa iregular na kita sa construction works ng kanyang asawa. Sa tulong ng regalong bigas, makapag-iipon sila para sa iba pa nilang pangangailangan, “Ang maitatabi naming pera ay ipambibili namin ng bigas pagkaubos nitong ibinigay ninyo sa amin.”
