The house wasn't very big, but it was very tidy. It faced south and had three main rooms, one east wing room, and a shed on the west side where firewood and coal were piled up.
Seeing Buling looking her over, Sangshen moved closer and asked, "What? You like it?"
Bling nodded. "I wanted to rent a place like this when I was looking for a place to rent, but I couldn't find one."
Hearing the noise, Xie Dong, who was cutting meat inside, came out and said, "This must be Brother Bu and Brother Liang. Come in, come in quickly, it's so cold outside."
Bu Yi and Liang Boda were quite courteous; after exchanging a few pleasantries with Xie Dong, they were led into the main room by him.
In the center of the main room stood a large round table, hollowed out, with a copper pot on top. Xie Dong said, "This is a table I had specially made for eating hot pot."
"Thank you for your thoughtfulness!" Buyi nodded.

"Come, sister-in-law, brothers, have some hot tea to warm yourselves up."
Bu Yi and Liang Boda seemed not to have heard the conversation between the two, and calmly sat there drinking tea.
Sang Shen rolled her eyes at Xie Dong and said, "You sit here for a while, I'll go cook."
Bling nodded: "Do you need my help?"
"You sit down, let Xie Dong help me."
Xie Dong also overheard their conversation: "Yes, yes, sister-in-law, you sit down, I'll go help Xiao Qi."
He tried to say something more, but Sangshen pulled him away.
