Yun Qiao nodded. "Then you can accompany me to the nearby market for a few days to familiarize yourself with the environment and find a kindergarten for He Yan. He Yan is 18 years old and will be in the senior class when school starts in September. He can't stay at home all the time."
"OK."
Yun Qiao: "I also want to go to the film studio to look for Wen Jing. I haven't seen her for a few days, and I miss her so much."
"Let's do it one by one." He Tingjun said, "Today afternoon, should we get familiar with the environment first? Or find a kindergarten first? Or go to the film studio?"
"Let's get familiar with the surrounding area this afternoon." Yun Qiao thought for a moment and said, "September is still half a month away, so there's no need to rush about finding a kindergarten. I want to go to the film studio tomorrow morning."
He Tingjun asked: "Do you want me to accompany you?"
Yun Qiao shook his head and refused: "No, you can just stay at home and look after the children."
"I'm afraid you can't find the way." He Tingjun said.
Yun Qiao smiled and said, "It's okay. I'll buy a map of the city tomorrow before I go out. It should be easy to find the place with the map. If all else fails, I still have my mouth. If I can't find it, I can always ask someone for directions."
"Okay, then I won't accompany you."
The sun was a bit strong at noon in summer. After lunch, Yun Qiao took a nap at home with the children. After waking up, they played at home for a while. At around four o'clock in the afternoon, when the sun outside was not so scorching, she and He Tingjun took the two children out for a walk to familiarize themselves with the environment.
The cadre compound where Qin Lin lives is of a very high level, and the environment of the compound is incomparable to other places.
Unlike the houses in the family compound at the Beidahuang resident camp, the cadre compound is almost entirely made up of two-story villa-style buildings. There are also two high-rise buildings under construction at the back. Yun Qiao counted and found that there are nine floors, but the roof has not yet been completed. No one knows how many floors it will eventually have.
Yun Qiao speculated: "After these two buildings are completed, they may be equipped with elevators."
"Definitely," He Tingjun said. "There's already a residence in Beijing with an elevator, the Anhua Building in Chongwen District."
"Is that so?" Yun Qiao opened his eyes wide in surprise: "I don't know."
He Tingjun: "If you're curious, you can go and have a look some other day."
Yun Qiao nodded. "Yeah. Since we don't have to go to work for a while, let's take the kids around the capital and have some fun."
Yun Qiao's family of four took a stroll in the courtyard, and when they came back, the sun had already set.
Feng Juan was standing at the door of her house talking to a couple she didn't know.
Seeing Yun Qiaoqian coming over, Feng Juan smiled and waved to her: "You're back."
Then he turned around and introduced her, "Yun Qiao, Ting Jun, come here, let me introduce you to our neighbor who lives next door. This is your Aunt Meng, and this is your Aunt Meng's daughter, Shen Qiyun."
Yun Qiao nodded slightly and greeted Aunt Meng and Shen Qiyun with a smile: "Hello, Aunt Meng, hello, Comrade Qiyun."
"Sister Yunqiao, you can just call me Sister Qiyun." Shen Qiyun smiled.
"Okay, Sister Qiyun."
Aunt Meng is a beautiful woman who looks very gentle. In comparison, Shen Qiyun is not as beautiful as her mother, but she has a temperament that has been cultivated since she was a child, which adds a lot of color to her plain appearance.
"That's great, that's great." Aunt Meng said with a smile, "I've heard Aunt Feng say a long time ago that your daughter Yun Qiao is very beautiful. Seeing is believing. She is even more beautiful than I imagined."
Yun Qiao smiled and said modestly, "Aunt Meng, you're too kind."
Shen Qiyun said softly: "Sister Yun Qiao is indeed very pretty."
Aunt Meng looked at He Tingjun again, her eyes full of admiration: "This must be Yun Qiao's husband, he is really handsome."
Shen Qiyun said: "Sister Yun Qiao has a really good eye for choosing a partner."
Aunt Meng also smiled: "Yes, the couple is handsome and beautiful, no wonder even their children are so cute."
The two women sang in unison, praising Yun Qiao so much that he felt a little embarrassed.
After a few more pleasantries, Aunt Meng took Shen Qiyun home.
Feng Juan also entered the house with Yun Qiao and the others, and introduced them to Yun Qiao as she walked, "Chen Qiyun's father is the vice minister of the Ministry of Commerce, and her mother is an administrative teacher at a university. Chen Qiyun is eight years older than you, a college graduate in her teens, and currently works for a newspaper as deputy editor-in-chief."
"That's amazing! Ji Qingqing is now the deputy editor-in-chief." Yun Qiao said.
"This girl has been strong-willed since she was young," Feng Juan said.
"Is she married?" Yun Qiao asked curiously.
Feng Juan said, "She was married once when she was in her twenties. Her ex-husband was also from our compound. If you see me later, I'll point it out to you. You won't know anything else. If you say the wrong thing later, you might offend someone unintentionally."
Yun Qiao nodded. "They were dating someone from the same compound, so how come they got divorced later? Wouldn't it be awkward for the two families to meet if they lived so close to each other?"
"It's definitely awkward. The two families hardly talk to each other anymore." Feng Juan sighed and said, "To be honest, Shen Qiyun is in the wrong. She was young at the time, and her mind was full of career. When the child came, she didn't want it, so she had an abortion without telling her ex-husband."
"Her ex-husband was furious when he found out, and he couldn't bear to touch her, so he destroyed the house. Later, I don't know if it was because of the miscarriage that Shen Qiyun was injured, but she couldn't get pregnant for several days. The man's father definitely didn't want to do that. This was their only child, and if Shen Qiyun couldn't give birth, the family would be extinct."
"Anyway, in the end, the two of them ended up getting divorced."
"The man has remarried several times and has two children. Chen Qiyun has remained single until now."
Feng Juan said, "Qiyun is quite upset about this marriage. If you run into her in the future, be careful when chatting with her and try not to bring up topics like marriage or children."
Yun Qiao nodded: "Okay, I understand. I'll try not to mention it."
The next morning, Yun Qiao got up early and prepared to go to the film studio to find Zheng Wenjing.
After breakfast, as soon as I walked out of the yard, I saw Shen Qiyun from next door standing at the door of his yard watering the flowers.
Yun Qiao greeted her with a smile, "Good morning, Sister Qiyun. Why didn't you go to work yesterday?"
"I just finished a big project and am resting at home for a few days." Shen Qiyun said with a smile. Seeing Yun Qiao carrying a bag, he asked, "Are you going out?"
Yun Qiao hummed, "I met a good friend when I went to the countryside. Her family is also in Beijing. I haven't seen her for a long time. I'm going to go see her."
"Then hurry up and go." Shen Qiyun smiled and nodded: "It's still early and not too hot. If the sun rises later, it will be too hot and it won't be suitable to go out."
"Okay, I'll leave first then." Yun Qiao waved at her: "Goodbye, Sister Qiyun."
Shen Qiyun: "Well, goodbye, Sister Yunqiao."
After leaving the gate of the cadre compound, Yun Qiao bought a city traffic map from a newsstand at a nearby intersection. Following the instructions on the map, he took bus No. 387 to the film studio.
After more than twenty minutes, Yun Qiao got off at the bus stop opposite the film studio.
Yun Qiao called Zheng Wenjing in advance yesterday and told her that she would come to see her the next day. So as soon as she got off the car and was still across the street, Yun Qiao saw Zheng Wenjing standing at the door of the film studio waiting for her.
