Chapter 3: The Old House
Our old house had been empty for a long time. After Father passed away, Mother and I both moved to the city. Now, Mother is old too and wants to move to the city to live with me.
The old house has fallen into disrepair. There are cracks in the walls, and the roof leaks. The courtyard is overgrown with wild grass, looking very desolate. I remember the days when our family lived here when I was a child. At that time, the old house was still new, and the courtyard was full of flowers.
Mother said that selling the old house was for me to get married. I told Mother that I hadn't found a suitable person yet. Mother sighed and said she was getting old too and hoped I could start a family as soon as possible.
I looked at the old house, feeling very sad. This is my home, the place where I grew up.
