What happens in the village (5)

Now I will talk about the house that the people in our village value the most. In the early 1980s, the villagers lived in adobe houses, half of which were grass roofs (wheat straw) and half of which were large tile houses. Only a small number of small tile houses left by the landlords and rich peasants of the old society were allocated to the poor and lower middle peasants during the period of land reform. Often there are two or three homes in a courtyard, and there are also four or five families. More than a dozen people, young and old, live in the same courtyard, noisy and noisy, angry fights have become commonplace. The village is high in the north and low in the south, the drop is large, the curved alleys, the forced streets, are made of irregular shaped stones, pimples of small streets, pushing small carts can not reach the doorstep.

At the beginning of reform and opening up, land was contracted to households, and after the problem of food and clothing was solved, it was imperative to improve the living environment. In 1984, according to the actual situation of each village, the town government took the lead in making unified planning for the rural areas of the town. According to this plan, in less than five years, more than 80 percent of the peasant households in the village have built new houses, and the framework of the new village has basically taken shape. Each homestead is 13 meters long from east to west and 15.5 meters from north to south, which is exactly three points. The village encourages the construction of houses, no matter how big or small, one child and one courtyard, eight blocks in a row, four rows and a district, with large and small horizontal and vertical streets, the whole village is divided into dozens of square tofu blocks, the houses are also all red brick built of one-story bungalows, although every household is in debt, but also a smile, after all, the end of the previous low and depressed housing, how can the spacious and bright big house not be heart-wrenching? I remember many people saying that adobe houses can live for decades, and now that the red bricks are so strong that they no longer have to worry about the house in this life.

However, the world is unpredictable, with the development of society, going out to work to earn back tickets, but also saw a lot of the outside world, I thought of building a house into a two-story small Western-style building, and then fashionable two and a half floors, and then changed to three floors. For nearly three decades, from the early 1980s to 2010, they saved money and changed their manuscripts three times, and painted the blueprint of their home on this homestead of their own. The bungalows in the early 1980s were the first generation of housing, the two-storey houses in the 1990s were the second generation of housing, and the two-and-a-half-storey three-storey houses after the new century were the third generation of housing. On average, every decade, the new generation spends all the money on building houses in the village, but not many people buy houses in the city.
