Changes in the countryside 600-word composition

My hometown is in Datong, located on the Loess Plateau. According to my grandfather, my hometown used to be poor. The village is full of rotten earth walls and broken tile houses. The room is dark and damp, and the place is very small. Some houses are made of asbestos shingles, linoleum and straw. The ground in the house is all loess. After a long time, people use brooms to sweep out large and small pits. On rainy days, the yard and village roads are covered with mud. When you walk down, your shoes will get stuck in it and never come out. People can't afford to burn coal when cooking. For most of the year, they burn corn stalks and rotten leaves. The drinking well is dozens of feet deep, and there are many thick hemp ropes used to draw water. People with little strength can't lift it. In case of drought, there is no water in the well, so people have to go to the distant reservoir to pull water. Sometimes when it rains, people cook in the rain. On rainy days, the house often leaks rain, and winter can't stop the wind. One winter, my father led my sister back to her hometown. Although grandma burned the heatable adobe sleeping platform very hot, the biting cold wind blew in from the four walls, which made their ears numb and forced them to bury their heads under the covers. The bad air in the bed caused them not to sleep well all night.

It's great now. Great changes have taken place in my hometown in the past ten years. The original straw house and earthen tile house have become two-story buildings, and the walls are made of red bricks. The roads inside and outside the house and in the village are all hardened with cement, and some houses are covered with bright big floor tiles. The house is spacious, the living room is big, and there are kitchens and bathrooms. Adults and children have their own rooms. Boil water for cooking without burning corn stalks. As long as you make a phone call, the coal delivery person will deliver the coal to your door. Every household has running water, so it is no longer necessary to cook and wash your face with that yellow mud water. People also have money, and every household is a professional household. Orchards, vegetable gardens and greenhouse vegetables have an annual income of nearly 10,000 yuan. Many families have installed telephones, used rice cookers, refrigerators, washing machines, and some even bought big sofas and slept on Simmons beds. Every household has bought a big color TV, which can receive more than a dozen channels! People no longer have to drive more than ten miles to see movies at night, and no longer have to go to other people's homes to watch TV in the middle of the night!

I love my hometown. The countryside has changed too much.
