My family's life

            In a small village that had several house after we came back from Khmer Rouge. My parents, my grandma start living on a land which contain with a lot of grass and everything was not clean. From day to day all they try to clean this land until it became a real land that everyone wanna live. After, they start to build a small house. But, for the other who came to live as my parents, they no need to build a new house because they got the house already. My mother told me that, some houses that were taken away from the old landlord during Pol Pot regime, some of the landlords still alive and other were killed at that time that why they cannot come to live in their old places.
            My mother took a new cupboard from the other house in this village because in the village everyone can take a look in every house they like. At that time on one wanna get something from the other house because they think that maybe it has a new war like Khmer Rouge; therefore, they don’t wanna bring something with if they have to live away from home, like in Khmer Rouge people have to leave from the city and live in the countryside in order to do farm and no one can be the highest and the other can not be the lowest position. Everyone has the equal right to live in.
            After living in a new house my mother started to do a business and at that time she did a business outside country. Every morning she had to go to Vietnam in order to sell moto equipments. She came back home at night time. She did like this everyday in order to help my father to support my family. My father is a poor teacher, in the class he taught math subject. He loved this job because in the past he had a high salary and his salary can support two or three family. Every morning he went to school at 7am and he came back at 11am in the morning. More than these, he had to do fishing in order to reduce some money from buying food in the market. You know I used to follow him to find food outside village, and some of my older sibling also. He didn't want to stay at home when he was free. Talking about my grandma,
