The longest chapter of the book: the layout of the fields, lines of production, the electrification of 1963, transport, buildings and social life.
This is the heart of the book — a meticulous record of Tekla and Jan Kępiński's farm across the decades. The author describes the layout of the fields and the successive lines of production: grain and potatoes, the keeping of cows, horses and pigs, the fattening of geese, as well as oil-pressing in the family oil mill and the cutting of peat.
Separate sub-chapters are devoted to the first signs of progress: the electrification of the village in 1963, land drainage and classification, and drawing water. The author also keeps a chronicle of audio-visual equipment and means of transport — from the "Pionier" radio and the wired loudspeaker to motorcycles, the Syrena and the Fiat 126p — the first of their kind in the family and the village. The chapter closes with social life, the presence of grandmother Waleria and grandfather Ignac, and a detailed description of all the farm buildings and their surroundings.
