My Family’s Old House

My family's old house is in the east middle part of my village, which is next to a river. The river encircled the village as a protective barrier of the village.

My family's old house is a row of bungalows that goes east to west and it holds five rooms.

The eastern three rooms connect together as a unit and only have a gate on the south wall of the middle room, which is the living room.

On both sides of the living room there are two bedrooms. Between the living room and the two bedrooms, there are two "walls” which are made of sorghum stems. Of course, there is a small gate in each sorghum stem wall to link the living room and the bedrooms.

The western two rooms connect together as a unit. As far as I can remember, there is no wall between these two rooms, and they unite together. The gate of this unit is on the south wall of the east room.

To the south of the easternmost room, there are two small rooms that go from north to south. That is our kitchen.

The walls of the house are mainly made of adobes. Only on the base of the walls are a few layers of grey bricks.

The roof of the house is made up of wooden beams and columns, sorghum stem mats and wheat straws. The wheat straw is on the surface of the roof.

According to elderly people, although the house is too primitive, it keeps warm in winter and cooler in summer. But in my opinion, they just comfort themselves.

The house has a front yard, which I guess is around 17 meters from east to west and 15 meters from north to south.

In the southeast part of the yard, there is a pressed water well. In front of the house in the west unit, there is a jujube tree, which grows so slowly and rarely bears fruit. To the south of the jujube tree, there is a walnut tree which grows fast and bears fruits every year.

Since the end of the 80s, none in my original family has lived there. All the appearances of my family's old house have changed a lot.
