Which exact moment in Chapter 1 do you mean — the scene when they arrive at the new camp, when Papa gets the job, or another line? There are a couple of common reasons characters like Panchito’s brothers show happiness early in the story; pick the one you saw and I can explain more.

Likely explanation(s):
- They’re happy because the move meant work and pay: finding work in the fields (strawberry picking) meant the family would have money, which relieved immediate worries.
- They’re happy because children often feel excitement about a change — a new place, new routine, maybe the chance to go to a different school — even though the adults worry about the hardships.

If you tell me the exact sentence or paragraph you’re looking at, I’ll give a more precise, text-based explanation.
