Su Yuyan moved into a newly bought apartment and met Tong Yan for the first time in the elevator, and was overwhelmed by Tong Yan’s temperament. That Tong Yan was thirty-four or fifteen years old, with a tall but plump figure, a second-sight beauty, the kind that makes people feel more beautiful the more you look at it, the well-fitting brand-name clothes are elegant but not ostentatious, she wears light makeup, and has all the jewelry that a woman should wear, but they are all very exquisite, noble but not coquettish. Su Yu’an got Tong Yan as a woman who was pampered at home and bossed around at work. I can’t say why, but I became interested in Tong Yan, maybe it’s because of my sensitivity as a reporter, but I feel that there is something else in my heart, maybe it’s impulsive? Eucalyptus learned from the director of the neighborhood committee in the community that Tong Yan is the deputy director of the Civil Affairs Bureau and is unmarried. After graduating from university, Tong Yan was assigned to work as a teacher in a kindergarten under the Civil Affairs Bureau. There is a little girl named Tiantian. Both her parents died in an accidental car accident. Tiantian has no other relatives. Tong Yan took pity on Tiantian and adopted her. Tong Yan has been in love several times, but all of them left her because of her proposal to her boyfriend to regard Tiantian as her own and not want her own children after marriage. There are also men who are obsessed with Tong Yan and are willing to accept her condition, but she looks down on him. Later, Tong Yan was transferred to the bureau and promoted to section chief and deputy bureau chief. She became addicted to being an official, so she put aside the matter of starting a family. When it came to adopting children, Tong Yan was out of control, and successively adopted one from a distant relative in a remote village, and adopted two more from an orphanage under the Civil Affairs Bureau, both girls named Jiaojiao, Shunshun and Congcong. He had seen these four girls before, Na Tiantian was twelve years old, Jiaojiao was ten, Shunshun was nine, and Na Congcong was only six. Among the four children, the one who grows up is beautiful, like a doll. It’s okay for Tiantian to be long, especially those watery eyes, which seem to be able to talk. And the corners and the smooth ones are a bit ugly. All four children attend the same school. Tiantian is like a little adult, every morning he gets up early and goes out to buy groceries, makes breakfast for his mother, and then eats something in a hurry before going to school. At noon, Tong Yan ate in the cafeteria of her work unit, and the children didn’t come back, so they ate at a “small student dining table” run by a private home near the school. The four children all came back early after school in the afternoon, and if their mother didn’t call to say that they would not come back for dinner, Tiantian would prepare a sumptuous dinner for her mother. Eucalyptus lives on the floor above Tong Yan, and rarely sees Tong Yan. People who originally lived in the apartment had very little contact with each other. Sometimes, in order to meet Tong Yan, Yuu would go to the floor where Tong Yan lives and take the elevator. On the afternoon of the weekend, Eucalyptus came down from upstairs to wait for the elevator, and met Shun Shun to get out of the elevator. “Shun Shun, are you going out to play?” Seeing that there was no one around, Gu Yu seized the opportunity to talk to Shun Shun. “I didn’t go out to play. The trousers I washed for my mother were cold on the balcony and were blown off by the wind. I went down to pick up the trousers for my mother.” Shun Shun showed a vigilant look on her face when talking to Eucalyptus, but she is a woman after all.The child is ignorant of world affairs and argues with irrelevant people. “Oh? Shun Shun is such a good boy. Doesn’t she wash your mother’s clothes by herself?” Eucalyptus asked Na Shun Shun softly. “Why are you asking this? I won’t tell you!” Shunshun was very clever, and didn’t want to talk to Eucalyptus any more. “Hehe. Shunshun, your mother told your aunt that you are a good boy. Auntie thinks your mother is bragging!” Eucalyptus doesn’t need to use too much scheming when dealing with children. “My mother can’t brag!” Shun Shun retorted angrily. “Then tell auntie, what can you do?” Eucalyptus said fiercely. “I wash my mother’s trousers and socks. My mother’s feet are itchy every day when she comes back from get off work, and I give it…” Shunshun couldn’t help but blurted out, and suddenly remembered something, and stopped talking immediately.
“Shunshun! Why don’t you come back to the room quickly! I want to beat you!” Tiantian heard who Shunshun was talking to at the elevator door, and came out to pull Shunshun into the room. Yuu felt that if Shun Shun said a few more words, Shun Shun couldn’t help but tell her, but it was destroyed, and she couldn’t help but look a little disappointed. Arriving downstairs, Eucalyptus saw the cleaner Suyun doing cleaning. Eucalyptus suddenly and sensitively realized that this Suyun might know something, after all, she had been working here for a year or two, and she was most familiar with the apartment residents than these cleaners. Eucalyptus then walked towards Suyun with a smile. “Miss Su, you still have to go to work on weekends!” Suyun, the cleaner downstairs, greeted Eucalyptus warmly, with a flattering look on her face. “Oh… no. Is the eldest sister busy?” Eucalyptus responded very politely. “Not busy, not busy. Miss Su, is there anything you want me to do?” Suyun flattered her. “It’s nothing. I’m just resting today. I’m bored by myself. I want to chat with someone…” Yuu was originally going to work, but changed his mind temporarily. “Oh, Miss Su, you’re so polite. If you don’t think I’m an uneducated countryman, come to my room and I’ll talk to you.” Suyun felt a little flattered that Yuuan wanted to chat with her. “Hehe, that’s good… won’t you delay your work?” “No delay, no delay. I’ve already finished.” Eucalyptus and Suyun came to the cleaner’s workshop behind. The room was a bit messy and dirty as the apartment has two cleaners who alternate days and neither of them bothers to go to the trouble of cleaning their own workshop. “That Ms. Tong on the twelfth floor is really caring. I heard that she didn’t even get married in order to raise her adopted daughter.” Eucalyptus reluctantly sat down in the workplace with a bad smell, perhaps because she couldn’t stand the smell, and asked her concerns before she could sit still. “Tch! What kind of love? You don’t know…I don’t want to talk about my own private affairs.” Suyun has a bad impression of Tong Yan, because Tong Yan ignored her and complained to the property company about something. “By the way, Mrs. Yun, I heard that the property management company will cut one of your two cleaners recently…”
Gu Yu thought that Suyun really knew something, and couldn’t help but secretly happy. She didn’t want Suyun to see that she was interested in Tong Yan’s private life, so she shifted the topic to Suyun. She knew that Suyun would be willing to exchange what she knew about Tong Yan with her. “Really? It seems to be true! I tooI heard about this, no wonder Liu Mei always runs to the house of the director of the neighborhood committee these days! Miss Su, you have a lot to do, please help me. Look at me alone, with a child and a mother-in-law who is idle, if I am laid off
