This family's house has five rooms plus a kitchen. It's quite spacious, and apart from being a bit dilapidated and being a thatched hut, it's quite comfortable to live in if it doesn't rain.
"Tantan, your Uncle Zhong and I are going back to the village. We probably won't arrive for another twenty days. We're bringing a few people back with us; we rescued them on the way."
