Shen Yunfang's days returned to normal after Li Xianglian took the children back to her hometown and Li Hongjun went to report to the Party school.
Every morning, she rose early to walk Taxue, then took care of the children at home, getting them up, feeding them, and sending them to the kindergarten. After that, she hurried to her classes. At noon, she would rush home for a quick meal, then back to school for afternoon classes. After picking up the children in the afternoon, she'd spend odd days teaching English at the school with the children, and even days taking them home. In the evenings, she played with the children, told them stories, and in her spare moments, continued to adapt "Transformers". On weekends when Li Hongjun returned, she had one more person to take care of. But she, the children, and Taxue still looked forward to the days when Li Hongjun would come home, and then, whenever they could, the family of five would explore the streets and alleys of the Capital.
