Therefore, the only option left was the public balcony, which fortunately, Lin Xiaoguai had observed in the past couple of days. Although the balcony outside their door was a common space, it wasn't a thoroughfare.
There were only two apartments on the third floor—aside from their four-bedroom, two-living-room unit, there was an empty three-bedroom, one-living-room apartment next to them. However, the staircase was located inside the building, leading one way towards their apartment and the other way towards the vacant one, meaning there was no interference between the two.
The balcony, though public, was effectively theirs. It wasn't as private as the small balconies, just like she saw others stacking briquettes on the balconies by their front doors. She could plant vegetables on this balcony without affecting anyone else.
As for clothes, the clotheslines were outside on the balcony now. All she needed to do was leave a passageway wide enough for one person on the balcony.
