well, here is the old house where my parents lives.
it is a two-floored old-fashioned house in one county town. there are two drawing rooms,5 sitting rooms, 2 bath rooms,one kitchenroom and one dining room.
the house was built in early 1990s .My eld brother and I spent our childhood in the house.
When my eld brother and I grew 18 years old, both of us left it foruniversities . Since then, rarely have my brother and I lived there.
But my parents still spend most of their time in the house every year.
Now, My parents are in Beijing to look after their grandson ( the son of my elder brother). but they often tell me that they are not accustomed to the urban life-sytle in Beijing and want to go back to live in the old-fashioned two-floored house ,once they are sure that my brother and his wife can look after the baby themselves.
BTW, in fact, the two-floored house is so old that it can be demolished soon according to the new urban-plan of the county town.
According to the routine, the local government will compensate my parents with either one new appartment or cash.
My parents in fact quite welcome such a demolishment plan ,then they can get one new small apartment and some cash as the compensation,because they both feel the two-floored house is too big for them now.
