The firewood piled neatly in a shed in Zhang Shulan's yard was all split from trees and used for cooking. This typical rural sight was characterized by the charm of country life.
Some poultry were caged up in her yard and could be seen from a distance, squatting on the ground with their feathers not so clean.
There was a small patch of land in the yard for growing vegetables. Now, it was almost bare. Each family in the schoolyard was assigned a plot of land for gardening, which was convenient.
As for flowers and plants, Zhang Shulan managed to keep a few in pots on her windowsill, which looked pretty nice. Entering the small yard, Su Xiaowan felt that Zhang Shulan wasn't much for flair, but she was good at living.
Seeing Su Xiaowan and the others enter, Zhang Shulan hurried out to greet them, "Sister-in-law, Xiao Wan, you've come, and so has Xiao Yu. Quick, come inside and have a seat."
