After the last family dinner, everyone continued to return to work. Although Brother Tang was promoted, his work has not changed and he continues to go out early and come back late. Due to her outstanding performance while abroad, the second sister-in-law of the Tang family was promoted to a first-level professional title and was assigned to be responsible for translating for national leaders. Everyone works harder and puts more enthusiasm into their work. Tang Xin could clearly feel the vigorous passion among her family members.

In April, Sugar Baby is already six months old. In April, spring is already blooming in Beijing. After Dad and Mom go to work during the day, when the weather is nice, Sister-in-law Gu will take Tangxin for a walk nearby. Get some sun. Tang Xin likes the environment in the Huada teachers' dormitory very much. Sister-in-law Gu often pushed her around the courtyard. Her favorite place to go was the New South Courtyard, which consisted of thirty small bungalows. The houses were very exquisite and hidden in the shadows of flowers and trees. The road there is a wide charcoal road, and the majestic venue makes people feel comfortable looking at it. The sycamores and willows beside the road are growing just right, and the professors are decorating their gardens in their own unique ways. It would be so comfortable to walk on this avenue in the summer, under the shade of the trees. Tang Xin wanted to stop and take a look at every small building she walked through to see if she was lucky enough to meet any celebrity. You must know that ordinary passers-by now will be legendary figures in the future, and they will all be alive. The legend exists in the book.

Now that she is lucky enough to live in this era, why not take this opportunity to see these historical celebrities with her own eyes? But although she knew that there were celebrities living here, Tang Xin didn't know them. She once again hated herself for not studying modern history, or at least remembering what these people looked like. But this kind of thing is rare. She can't ask her parents now because she can't speak. Even if she can speak in the future, she can't ask. If one day she suddenly asks Dad Tang: "Dad, do you know Lin Huiyin?" Where do you live?" Could Father Tang think something was wrong with his daughter? How could such a little child ask such a question?

So when you grow up, maybe you can get to know these celebrities through your parents. Now she can only walk here often to see if she can meet him. After all, even if a great scholar has passed her by, she may not know that such a thing is rare. Tang Xin stopped worrying and followed Mrs. Gu wherever she pushed her. In this way, Tang Xin gradually got to know more people.

The first is downstairs of their home. The building they live in has two floors. They and Uncle Wang's family live on the second floor of their unit. Both families have a simple population, and since both parties work in schools, this level is relatively relaxed. There are three families living downstairs, and only one person in the family works in the school, so the house they were assigned is not ideal. However, being able to arrange housing in this era is already a pretty good salary. I heard from Dad Tang that there are still many teachers who have not been provided with housing and can only rent houses in nearby places. Fortunately, the teachers' salary is not bad, otherwise they would still have to live in a house. It's really unaffordable.

The first floor is divided into three large rooms. The layout is different from the second floor, but there are still public water rooms, toilets and kitchens. There is a family of four living in the room on the right. The family is from the Northeast. The male owner’s surname is Tan. He is about 40 years old and is a teacher in the school’s architecture department. He is a bit rigid, with regular facial features and a strong build. At first glance, he looks like a typical Northeastern man. Everyone calls him Teacher Tan. The hostess and her children called her Aunt Tan. She was slightly chubby, had a round face that looked a little plain, and had a cheerful personality. She always smiled when she saw everyone. Aunt Tan is not highly educated and has no job. She is responsible for taking care of the children at home. She is a diligent and top-notch person both inside and outside. She is unanimously recognized by her neighbors as a warm-hearted person. They have two sons, one fourteen and one seven. Their elder brother Tang Zhanbo plays well with the Tan family's second son, and they often get together after school. Since Aunt Tan had given birth to two sons, she had always wanted a daughter, but now she was old and could not have one. So she likes Sugar Baby very much. Every time she sees Sugar Baby, Aunt Tan always likes to reach out to hug her or tease her, or she always likes to give Sugar Baby something delicious or interesting, even if she doesn’t know anything now. Can't eat. Tang Xin actually likes Aunt Tan very much. Aunt Tan's body is soft and smells like sunshine.

An old couple lived in the middle room. The husband was a professor at Qingdao University, and his surname was Lin. Because Professor Lin once taught Dad Tang, they called them teacher and teacher. The couple were in their fifties, and looked older than the sugar baby's grandparents. The old couple had no children all their lives, so they supported each other and lived a comfortable life. It is said that in order to support Professor Lin's studies, the newly married Mrs. Lin went out to do odd jobs without telling the professor. She went to wash clothes for a wealthy family on a cold day and accidentally fell into the river. She was afraid that Professor Lin would find out but she did not dare to tell him. , she carried it by herself until she couldn't bear it anymore and fell ill, then she went to see a doctor, but it was still too late. Because the delay was too long, Mrs. Lin's roots were still damaged. The doctor said that it would be very difficult for her children to be born from now on.

In the society at that time, how big a sin was it for a woman not to have children? There are three ways for a man to be unfilial, and it is a big deal to have no offspring, let alone a woman. For a woman who was deeply poisoned by the feudal ideas of the old society, Mrs. Lin felt even more sorry for her husband and repeatedly persuaded her husband to marry another woman. However, Professor Lin withstood the pressure from family and society, and even said that she would never marry again in this life. He only had Mrs. Lin as his wife, and his children could only be born from Mrs. Lin's belly. He would not recognize the others, even if he would never have children for this reason. Professor Lin chose to stay at the University of Washington to teach after graduation, and the couple never went back to their hometown. They lived together for most of their lives. Now the two of them have become accustomed to this kind of life, growing flowers and raising fish when they have nothing to do. Mrs. Lin He even got a puppy to accompany the two of them. Occasionally, students would come to the house to sit for a while or have a meal, and the days were quite lively.

Mrs. Lin likes children very much, especially the two of the Tang family. It may be because Tang’s father was once a student of Professor Lin and had many contacts with them. Mrs. Lin treats all her husband’s students as her own children. In addition, the two children of the Tang family are well educated. Tang's mother is a person who loves life and pays attention to the quality of life. She also takes care of the two children very cleanly, unlike the children of many families nowadays. Although it is already a new society, the discipline of children is still relatively loose. Children are allowed to run around wildly and get dirty without being cleaned up. Every time I see the neighbor's children getting dirty, Lin The mistress would always take them home and clean them, and then reward the children with some snacks, so the children in the yard liked her very much and called her "Grandma Lin" enthusiastically.

The family on the left is a family of six, with three generations living together. The male owner’s surname is Qin. He is a new teacher who came to BGI last year. His qualifications are relatively low and he is just an ordinary lecturer. He is not as good as Tang’s father and Tang’s mother, who are already associate professors. The hostess of this house was separated from her family during the war in the past few years, and it is not known whether she is dead or alive. He left behind three children, two girls and one boy, aged 11, 8 and 6 years old respectively, who were taken care of by their elderly parents. His parents are typical country people. They only know how to feed and clothe their children. In addition, when men first arrive at UW and are busy with work, they often neglect to discipline their children, which leads to several children often messing around. She looks like a clay figure, but fortunately his eldest daughter is more sensible and has taken on most of the family affairs at the age of 11. She is a heart-warming child. Due to lack of discipline, Mr. Qin’s children are relatively wild and had a small conflict with Tang Zhanbo, so Tang Zhanbo’s children were reluctant to play with him.

The neighbors are generally easy to get along with. When Mrs. Gu has free time, she will take her sugar baby to sit downstairs at Aunt Tan's house or go to Professor Lin's house to chat. Her days are regular and slow.
