Descriptive essay --- Home state

Almost every lunar New Year, my family and I go back to home state to visit my grandparents in Fujian. After a travel, we escaped from modern city and come to a place of relax and original as the house was built around verdant mountains and far away from busy town. The smell was different from city, which was a smell of plant and soil that implies us already reach home.

There was a smell of grass and soil and I could also hear some looming sound which coming from birds. There was a group of ducklings swimming slowly in the river just like welcoming us. The dogs were vivaciously chasing each other on the ground while some chicken were sitting on grass to fall asleep. As the brick red house was built in the middle of a mountain so we needed to walk for a while. The road did not cover concrete and just had some soil and gravel on it . There were some mango and longan trees planted near to the road and an aromatic smell is spread from their flowers. People were really slow comparing with those in Hong Kong. Some were chatting, some were walking and some were feeding animals.

After stepping over the last step of stair, I was in front of a house --- home of my grandparents. It was quite large, which seemed to grow small as I grew big, while I often had a peace walk in my Grandparents home and that took almost 5 minutes to walk from one side to another side. The house could be assorted in the type of courtyard dwellings and made of red brick. There were 8 rooms in this rectangle and these rooms were surrounding courtyard. It just liked a mouth when you looked down from top of it. A vestibule about a basketball court was in front of this house. When I standed on this vestibule, a beautiful picture of nature and origin that constructed with grassy plants, flowing water in river, vivacious animals and peaceful people were come to in mind.

There were two old but amiable faces come in my eyes who are my grandparents. They were already standing next to the door and waiting us and greeting me with bear hug. After settling down, we had a lunch. The dishes tasted much different from what we can have in Hong Kong. The secret was inside the kitchen. Although there was a gas burner, the shabby stove with a hole where was for putting woods to burn was often used. The dishes cooked by using this stove carry with a taste of wood which was natural and fresh. In night, there was a fair wind come into the courtyard and we all were sitting there. When they were chatting, I am just sitting, looking over the starry sky and had an enjoyable and relax time. My home state was a place only for natural and relaxes.
