Shen Chaoxi was pregnant with her second child and her morning sickness wasn't too severe. By September's school start, she actively participated in the opening ceremony and was also involved in the literature department's welcoming activities for new students.
After a busy week, Xu Yun was discharged from the hospital and Shen Chaoxi visited her once in the Dongzhi Residential Area.
Xu Yun's parents were honest and ordinary workers, with only her as their child. Over the years, the two retirees had considered selling their home and buying a place in Shangjing City to live with their daughter.
However, Shangjing City was not like other places. The money from selling their house would hardly cover the down payment, not to mention the monthly installments for a new home were no small amount. The couple's pension might not even suffice, prompting them to reconsider. Why add unnecessary burdens when their current second-tier city was good enough?
