I think this is what I'm going to do, I'll just stay at home to earn money to raise my children. I had to sacrifice my passion for art. There are techniques to stabilize the family or die at this rate. Maybe the couple is a little hungry, but the children can't stand it. So I thought, any invitation, no matter how good the movie, will not do. ".
