"You just put too much pressure on yourself."
"Maybe." Zheng Jing sighed, "But it's really hard not to feel stressed when my family keeps staring at my belly."
Yun Qiao thought for a moment and said, "Why don't you try to go out and film with Ji Ping? Don't stay under your mother-in-law's watchful eye all day. Go out and relax. Maybe you'll get pregnant in a different environment."
Zheng Jing nodded. "That's an idea. Next time Ji Ping comes, I'll ask him to think of a way to see if we can go out together. Being a stagehand isn't an important position anyway. It doesn't matter which crew he's in, just doing odd jobs."
Yun Qiao patted her shoulder gently and comforted her: "Relax, you and Ji Ping are still young. You will have a child sooner or later."
Zheng Jing forced a smile and changed the subject: "Let's not talk about this anymore. You came to see me today, why didn't you bring your two children with you? I haven't seen Yanyan in a few days, and I miss her so much. And your second son, I've only seen his picture, not the person."
Yun Qiao smiled and said, "I came here to play with you. Why bring them? Children are unstable. If you bring them here, we won't have time to play. We'll just have to take care of the two children."
"Then what should I do with the gifts I prepared for the two children?" Zheng Jing said, taking out two toys in gift boxes from the cabinet. The packaging was exquisite and it was obvious that they were imported goods bought from the Friendship Store.
She turned to Yun Qiao and asked, "How about you bring the two children with you when you go out?"
"Forget it. I'll just take it with me. They won't remember even if I tell them my godmother bought it. They still won't recognize you next time they see you."
Yun Qiao thought about it and suggested, "How about this? You come to my house to play and personally hand the gifts to the two children. I guarantee that the two children will chase you and call you godmother."
Zheng Yujing's eyes lit up when she heard this: "So what now?"
"Sure." Yun Qiao nodded and asked, "But are you okay today?"
"It's okay. I took a day off just to welcome you." Zheng Jingjing said, "Ji Ping is not here, so I can go wherever I want."
"Then let's go." Yun Qiao smiled and took her hand: "It's just right for lunch at my house at noon."
"OK."
Zheng Jing packed up, put the gifts for the two children into a bag, and then went out with Yun Qiao.
When she was going downstairs, she met her neighbor coming upstairs, and Zheng Jing greeted him with a smile.
Yun Qiao saw that the other person looked familiar. After the other person left, he whispered to Zheng Jingjing, "Jingjing, was that woman just now an actress from your studio? She looks so familiar to me."
"Yes." Zheng Yujing smiled: "Su Qingyun, played in the small town family."
"I was wondering why she looked so familiar." Yun Qiao said with a smile, "I've seen her play Small Town People. She's even prettier in person than in the movie."
Zheng Jing said: "She doesn't look good in photos. Neighbors upstairs and downstairs also say that the movie screen makes her face look wider. Her oval face becomes round on the screen, and she looks like a huge plate."
Yun Qiao said: "If a person is good-looking, even if the screen widens the face and makes it round, it will still look good."
"Then be a star." Zheng Yujing said, "How can I be a movie star if I'm not good-looking?!"
As they were talking, the two of them walked out of the gate of the film studio's family compound. There was a bus stop outside. However, Zheng Jing did not take the bus to Yun Qiao's house. Instead, she went to the city first to buy gifts for Yun Qiao's family.
"When you visit someone, you can't come empty-handed," said Zheng Jing.
This was Zheng Yujing's courtesy, and Yun Qiao didn't stop her, but just reminded her: "Don't buy expensive things, just some fruit and cakes will be enough."
Zheng Yujing said "hmm", but when she finally paid the bill, she still bought two bottles of wine and a can of tea.
On the way home, on the bus, Yun Qiao and Zheng Jing talked about what had happened to them in the past few days. As they talked and laughed, time passed by unknowingly, and the bus soon stopped outside the cadre compound.
After getting off the car, Yun Qiao took Zheng Jing to register at the guard booth at the door before entering the cadre compound.
Yun Qiao was also a stranger in the cadre compound. She met many people along the way, but she didn't know any of them, so she didn't say hello to anyone.
Yun Qiao whispered to Zheng Yujing beside him, "I just got here yesterday, and I don't know anyone here."
