CM#17 A Visit with Yuanyaun
Alison’s closest co-worker (seated in the next cubicle and working under the same boss) announced she was pregnant soon after Alison arrived at her company. Alison watched as her friend’s belly grew and grew, and we visited the new mother and new arrival 2 days after the baby was born. Now, the healthy little girl is 7 months old and under the care of both of her grandmothers while mom went back to work.
We decided to go visit the baby the afternoon after our trip to the consulate. We had a very nice afternoon with this baby. We were feeling kinda bummed, but the child was oblivious to this and easily brought smiles to our faces.
Also, our friends live in a Small District 小区 that is designed in a very different way than out little neighborhood. This kind of apartment complex is very common, and most new housing built since the 80s is in this format.
