The House In My Village In The Past

I was born and raised in a small village. The houses where people lived were very primitive. They were typically constructed with bricks, adobe, wood, and crop straw.

As far back as I can remember, the houses looked like this: three or five blue bricks were placed directly on the ground. Above the bricks, adobe extended all the way to the top of the walls.

The roof ridge, shaped like an inverted V, was built with wood and wheat straw. The wheat straw was arranged on the outermost layer of the roof to allow rainwater to run off.

The base of the adobe wall was highly vulnerable to rain damage. To protect it, people pasted sorghum panicles on it with the tops of the panicles upside down.

All the windows were wooden. An interesting feature was that, following local tradition, there were no windows on the north wall. Instead, square-shaped “holes” were cut into the top center of the eastern and western walls for ventilation.

The doors were also made of wood. Usually, there were double doors that could be easily removed, unlike the single, fixed doors in modern apartments.

I consider these the most primitive houses I've ever seen because they lacked any modern factory-made components. However, such houses are now a thing of the past. In my village today, every house is a “villa,” an independent two-or three-story building for a single family.
