block fair

Everyone in our family contributed something to the block fair. Dad baked pies, Mom brought tablecloths, and I played the guitar.

I guess it means that everyone cooperates in 'my' family, right?

It doesn't specifically say that everyone cooperates. Also, I don't understand why you say "'my' family" with "my" in quotes.

I played the guitar. That was my contribution.

So, everyone in the family separately contributed something. "cooperation" means that people work together to do somethi

I think you just glance at this sentence and get the point off the bat. I consider it as a kind of foreigner's or native speaker's sensitivity. A problem confused me for a long time is just a piece of cake for you. It's so absurdity and interesting! Haha...
