Cao Na had often imagined what the place where Gong Ruini and her family grew up looked like, and she had certain expectations about how the house should be.
But when she saw the house, which was just like most in the Northeastern Rural area, she was shocked, "Ah, you actually live in a house like this."
The difference was unbelievable and left her in disbelief.
Was there a problem with such a house? Today, Gong Ruini was a bit unsure, wondering why Cao Na was so easily startled.
"Yes, we do live in this house." Could it be she thought this house was too humble, not as good as a Beijing courtyard?
"The house looks ordinary, but it has a really great bathing place," Gong Jiaming chimed in.
To Gong Jiaming, besides the kang and large yard, the home's bath was a beloved feature of the Northeastern houses, though he had also bathed at Gong Zhuang's worksite bath.
