我曾听爸爸妈妈说过：他们小的时候，用水要到很远的河边去打水，所以他们比较节约。

I heard Mom and Dad said: they are small, water is very far to go to the river to fetch water, so they are more savings.

我记得我曾对自己说过：“我希望爸爸妈妈不要在为金钱而争吵，为什么要让金钱支配我们的生活呢？”

I remember saying to myself, "I wish mom and dad would not fight about money. Why do we let money run our lives?"
