It could be said that this was the most shabby house Yu Xiangnian had ever seen.
The house was a mud hut, built very low. The light inside the house was very dim, and the wall paint was stuck to the wall in pieces.
There are five rooms in the main house, one of which is the main hall, and the other four are occupied by Cheng Jingmo's parents, Cheng Shuanzhu's family, Cheng Shuansuo's family and them.
There is also a side room with three rooms. One is the kitchen, the other two are where the fifth child of the Cheng family, fourteen-year-old Cheng Shuanqin lives, and one is where the sixth child, eleven-year-old Cheng Shuanliu lives.
The second and fourth daughters are already married.

The women looked a little disappointed and said, "You don't look like you can do housework."
Yu Xiangnian: "... There isn't much housework at home. I just cook one meal a day. Whoever has time can do it. The laundry is done in the washing machine."
