Omitted.XlV.　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　My Family　 Ours is a big family. My father is a worker who lives in a local city. Both my oldest uncle and second uncle set up housekeeping in the countryside. My youngest uncle is a teacher and lives far from us. Great changes have taken place in my family since the beginning of the reform and opening policy.　 In the late 1970s, our big family had a gettogether and discussed the problem of my grandma39。s residence. Those were hard times. No one took the initiative to live with her. Each family had a skeleton in the cupboard. Oldest uncle had room only en0ugh to shelter them from the wind and rain. He had to tighten his belt to keep the family pot boiling. Second uncle had nothing but four bare walls to face and led a dog39。s life.

Second uncle would39。t fall behind, I have contracted to run a large stretch of land and engage many farm hands. I profit a lot from it. I have more leisure time. Eventually, as regards the peace in the countryside, my grandma moved to second uncle, youngest uncle took a flight back and told us he had just bought a flat. 　 That was my family about 10 years later. Each smaller family lived in abundance.　 Now, oldest uncle is manager of a largescale poultry farm and second uncle39。s farm has been me
