Hello everyone.

I've recently found out that there is another use for the "ci" pronoun and I'm having serious troubles to understand its meaning.

I have no problem with the "us" meaning, like in the following sentece: Lei CI porta allo zoo -> She brings US to the zoo

However, I was reading a book where I found things like (I'm copying the whole paragraph in order to avoid contextualisation problems):

"Anch'io da ragazza andavo a passeggiare fino al lavatoio del paese. Da piccolina CI accompagnavo mia madre a lavare i panni. A volte, andavo con lei in montagna a raccogliere la legna secca per il fuoco."

I don't think this "ci" can be translated as "us"... Any clue about this?

Thank you very much!
