Ever since Dong Tianyu had settled his parents here, although Father Dong and Mother Dong were initially strangers in a new place, they quickly integrated into the local way of life.
In fact, many of the residents living on this floor had family situations not much different from the Thompsons, with the pillars of the household often away working and only the elderly and children actually living there.
Father Dong and Mother Dong, who both had sociable personalities, began to venture outside shortly after getting settled, once they had organized their home.
After getting familiar with the surroundings, they resumed their habit of morning exercises, with the couple playing badminton in the nearby park in the mornings.
Residents accustomed to morning exercises, upon seeing newcomers join, greeted them enthusiastically.
Gradually, Father Dong became part of the local chess and card circles, while Mother Dong found a singing troupe that welcomed her.
