Lin Wan and the other two were entertained by Hu Dong, having a barbecue in his courtyard at night. Hu Dong's house has quite a few guest rooms, enough for each of them to have their own room. But the three rarely have the chance to hang out together, so they slept in the same room and chatted late into the night.
The next day, Hu Dong drove them to his little villa, which has been around for over ten years. It was bought when Little Star was still very young, and now Little Star is in the third year of junior high. However, the house shows no signs of aging.
"Saozi, the renovation workers here said the wood used is of good quality and kept well, so I only let them repaint the walls. Also, hardwood floors are trendy now, so all the bedrooms have been switched to wooden floors. Even though we don't live here, it should be decorated a bit. When developers come to look, we can estimate a good price. I've also redone the exterior walls to make them look brand new."
