Upon hearing this, Su Xiaowan laughed and greeted her two aunts and three cousins-in-law, and then followed her aunt and eldest cousin, Song Yongyu.
Most people in this area live in cave dwellings which are warm in winter and cool in summer. Given that the midday sun was currently scorching hot, the interior of these dwellings was quite cool. Therefore, many people preferred to sit in their courtyards in the evening.
Upon following her aunt inside, Su Xiaowan noticed that the layout here was different from the one in their old residence. Her aunt's house also followed this layout with two bedrooms; one adjacent to the window and the other beside the wall.
At this moment, Su Xiaowan's grandfather was sitting on the edge of a bed with an elderly man whose face was creased with wrinkles and hair was white with age. Her eldest uncle and several other men, including her eldest cousin Han Dongchen and a group of young men, sat on stools engaged in conversation.
