Aunt Erzsike worked very hard to support her family
Aunt Erzsike is indeed living a happy retired life: she can boast of eight grandchildren and thirteen great-grandchildren. He was happy to report that his family members had settled in Budapest and other rural towns, and that everyone had managed to buy their own property. Aunt Erzsike also played a big role in this, as she worked very hard to support her children until she was 55 years old. Among other things, he worked for a civil engineering company as a cashier for about 15 years, and as a cleaner at the Debrecen Vocational Training Center Commercial and Hospitality Technical School and Vocational School for about a decade.
One of his two brothers worked in the office of the Nyírábrányi Termelőszötvekezet, and died at the age of 80. His sister was struggling with a serious illness, unfortunately she did not even reach her 50th year. Aunt Erzsike’s first husband graduated in economics and worked as a chief accountant at the former ÁFÉSZ (General Consumer and Sales Cooperative). Aunt Erzsike married a second time to a mining engineer from Ózd, Tibor Hajdu, but they lived together for only three years due to the early death of his partner. Unfortunately, the celebrant was beset by further tragedies: he lost both of his sons within a year.
