Little by little, other neighbors arrived and resided there. Company-provided and residential houses had located at the corner of barracks and were away from military zone. Mr. Hamadani’s wife and Bashir’s and Haj Samavati’s, who were my fellow citizen, were among our neighbors. After spending all that hardship, we had begun a new life in barracks that was interesting to me. After Morning Prayers, we would sleep again and wake up at nine or ten o’clock. We would eat breakfast which had been readied by men for us. We would deal with kids and then sent them to the hallway or downstairs to play. After washing the dishes, we women would gather in a room and speak with each other and narrate memories. We also hadn’t our men for lunch anymore.
