When the store was renovated, only the kitchen and the bathroom were kept on the first floor. The kitchen was downsized a lot since it was originally the back kitchen of a restaurant. In contrast, the bathroom was expanded, and at Zhen Yu's insistence, it was even split into separate facilities for men and women.
On the second floor, two side-by-side private rooms in the corner were preserved as bedrooms, while the rest of the rooms were knocked down to make the living room appear larger and more open.
The existing bathroom on the second floor was also kept for the family's private use.
Without tables and chairs, the mother and daughters each held a bowl of rice and stood in the kitchen to have their dinner.
Two metal beds were placed in the two bedrooms respectively, and the three of them gathered in one room, sitting in a row on one bed, starting to discuss matters.
"Brother, you should just board at high school!" Zhen Yu set the tone first.
