Shen Weimin tossed the duffel bag he'd brought into the room onto the end of the *kang* bed, which was covered with a mat. After a glance back at the closed door, he slipped off his shoes, climbed onto the *kang*, and pulled the bag onto his lap.
He lifted the cloth curtain covering it, revealing a solid *kang* cabinet. Unlike the ones in most homes, it didn't have four compartments with colorful painted glass panels on the outside.
This was the main reason his older sister, Shen Hui, had specially given him the cloth curtain. She had always wanted to hire someone to modify it to have four glass panels, but only praised him for not listening to her after she got older.
Originally, the cabinet doors had keyholes. Besides the two flat drawers at the bottom, on the day he brought it back, he had specifically asked his grandpa to install an old-fashioned hasp lock on it.
