My grandma
My mother was born and raised in my hometown while my father was born and raised in a village belonging to the town. The village is about two kilometers from the town.
In China, women move to their husband's house to live for the rest of their life after they get married. So my mother lived in my father's house after she got married.
My grandmother on my mother's side lived in my hometown. I never got to know my grandpa on my mom’s side because he died before I was born.
The middle school I studied in was in my hometown, which was separated from my grandmother's house by a moat.
When I studied in that school, I often went to my grandmother's house to eat and sleep.
Since I am the third child in my family, when I was a middle school student, my grandmother was already in her old age.
She had to wrap her feet during her childhood. From what I saw about her feet, I could imagine how painful she was when she was forced to do that. (If you don’t know what I am talking about, please look for the Chinese 裹小脚).
About six years after I graduated from middle school, my mom took her to my village to take care of her. My grandma had four children: two sons and two daughters. Her eldest son died before I was born. Her other two children lived in other provinces far away from my hometown. So my mother was the only child who could take care of her.
She had dementia in her eighties. She couldn't recognize people. When I came to see her, I had to tell her several times about who I was.
She told me many things she experienced. Most of them were about war, bandits and poverty. She died when she was eight-four years old.

My mother was born and raised in my hometown while my father was born and raised in a nearby village belonging to the town.
In the US, villages don’t “belong” to a town. They could be “part of” a town.
The village is about two kilometers from the town.
In China, women move to their husband's house to live for the rest of their life after they get married.
So my mother lived in my father's house after she got married.
My [grandmother on my mother's side | maternal grandmother] lived in my hometown.
I never got to know my [grandpa on my mom’s side | maternal grandpa] because he died before I was born.

Since I am the third child in my family, when I was a middle school student, my grandmother was already in her old age.
She had to wrapbind her feet during her childhood.
The correct term is “bind”; she had “bound feet.”
“Wrap” sounds too gentle.
From what I saw aboutof her feet, I could imagine how painful sheit was when she was forced to do that.

Don’t you consider the village where your father’s house was located to be your hometown?

你好 joetofu，我无法登录那个帐号了。我不知道你是否知道我是谁，我那个帐号的用户名是jack。我前几天没有写东西，所以就没有上这个网站。昨天我写了这篇文章后发现网站让我输入用户名和密码，之后还让我去我的邮箱进行进一步的验证。可是我的邮箱根本没有他们发给我的验证邮件。反反覆覆好多次都是这样。当我注册这个帐号的时候选母语的时候我无法找到中文选项。我也不知道母语是否允许更改。我想说的是我的村庄属于我们镇管辖。以我们镇为例：镇下面是行政村，行政村下面是自然村。所以我说 my village belongs to my hometown.
My mother was born and raised in my hometown, while my father was born and raised in a village belonging towithin the town.
In China, womenafter women get married, they move to their husband's house to live for the rest of their life after they get marriedves.
