Before I was 10, I lived in a faraway mountain village with my grandparents. It's called Anle. It's about 80 kilometers away from the city of Xiangtan in Hunan. Now I live in Guangzhou with my parents. But I really miss the days I spent in the village.
There were many things I could do there. _________________ In spring, there were all kinds of flowers here and there in the village. Our teacher taught us to draw the flowers. Although l didn't draw well, l still liked it. In summer, I often went swimming in a small river with my friends. Sometimes we looked for crabs(螃蟹) and brought them home. My grandma cooked them and they were very delicious. In autumn, I liked to go to a nearby hill. I climbed up trees and helped to pick up chestnuts (板栗) for my grandparents. It was a little dangerous but exciting. In winter, it was cold. I usually stayed at home, listening to my grandpa's old stories. I was really interested in how my grandparents' life used to be.
I also liked the villagers, as they were very friendly. An old man lived near my home. One day, when I passed his house after school, he gave me some cooked sweet potatoes. Although he was poor, he was still kind to me.
This is my hometown where my childhood memories were made. I miss it and my grandparents there.
