In the evening the family united for dinner. Dishes have been put on sofra (table) – a little round table which was cleared after feeding. The family was sitting around the table on small chairs or on pillows on the floor. The father broke up the bread and gave a hunk to each one, the mother brought the main dishes. Often the whole family ate from one bowl but nobody though to put a crumb in mouth until the father began.

        In the beginning Delchev have been living in comparatively small house. One night when the whole family was on wedding, Turkish rushed into the house and made a clean sweep. When the family came back found their home plundered and  empty then Nicola stopped their sobs with words “Don’t cry, don’t worry, I’ll build a huge house and may come a day in which these scoundrels will pay through the nose for everything.” Nicola Delchev has never succeeded in revenge but he was a man who kept on his word and really built a new bigger house for his family. The new house was two-storey and there were cellars for store. Wooden verandas have passed through the length of each floor and were connected with out exterior wooden stairs which lighted as a new pin On each  floor there were two bigger rooms whose doors and windows looked on to verandas. There were smaller room where in wooden chest they kept trousseaus of daughters and other things. The higher part of the house was white washed and the lower part of the house was plastered with red clay as was the custom in Kukush and everything kept perfectly fresh and in excellent condition because in Kukush dirty and ramshackle house was inadmissible shame.

         The most beautiful room was reserved and was furnished with minders seats built in near the walls covered with domestic rugs and pillows. There were and one very beautiful brazier which was brought by Nicola from Solun. It was bug and round, made of  copper or brass, in the middle there were recess part, in which put charcoal, roundabout by wide ledge on which they put glosses and etc.; for the guests coffee or heated rakia (Bulgarian alcohol drink) was prepared; the brazier has perforated ridge on whose top as a wonder of all children there was a metal bird.

        The beds were unknown in Kukush and people slept on the ground on mattresses which put away in the daytime. The mattresses were stuffed with soil, where were thriving rugs and were unthinkable the underwear and Sunday clothes for women to be made of something rougher than silk.

        The Delchev’s house were in the thick of the yard, covered with cobblestone pavement and roundabout by high walls. There wasn’t true garden. The flowers were growing in pots, and grapes and fruit trees – apple trees, fig trees and almond trees caste a shadow. In the yard there were summer kitchen, wide and stable for cows and goats of the family.
