The first house at the entrance of the village was easy to find. The houses here were all one-story high. The houses were not made of cement, but were made of mud walls and tiles.
These mud walls and tiles remained in many modern villages and were not demolished. Many modern villages had replaced them with cement houses, but in 1999, the most common houses in the countryside were still mud walls and tiles.
This kind of house looked weak and simple. It was obvious that it was where poor people lived. However, in this era, every household in the countryside was the same.
The people who could build cement houses were considered the richest in the village!
The roads in the countryside were not like those in towns or cities. The roads here were full of potholes.
Some people who were used to living in big cities would find it impractical to move to this place for a long time. However, if rich people came to live here for a short period of time, it would be very romantic.
