Italian term

fare le pezze

Italian to English Art/Literary Other
The whole sentence is:

Mia mamma non era contenta, però ha detto che almeno
mi dovevo imparare una fatica e cosí mi ha mandato a
fare le pezze. All’inizio ero contento: si trattava di stare
tutto il giorno in giro a raccogliere gli stracci vecchi casa
per casa oppure da dentro alla monnezza e portarli al
mercato da Capa ’e fierro.
