Xu Duoduo and the others cleaned up their studio apartments.
They folded their blankets, wiped the windows and locked them to keep the wind and snow out, mopped the floors, vacuumed and dry-cleaned the living room rugs, and wiped down the tables.
They might only have been studio apartments, but these were still their little homes.
Since they visited one another so often, the entire floor felt as comfortable as their own place.
