Their family lived in the living quarters of the cotton mill.
It is a red brick house with three bedrooms, a living room and a yard.
Cheng Zhiming pointed to the room and introduced it to Li Qiumei.
“Auntie, this is the room for me and my three brothers.
The room next to the courtyard wall is my sister's room.

“I told him the same thing, but he just wouldn’t study hard.
