The family of four went their separate ways after leaving the gate.
Yu Yin still pushed the stroller, taking the two kids to the office. It was almost the end of the month again, and she and Sister Wang would be busy. But being busy was also a happy thing, because salaries were due and there were all sorts of invoices to be issued.
Yu Yin and Lu Shurui improved the cot, making a canopy out of bamboo and reluctantly removing a gauze scarf to make a tent.
