After breakfast, Shen Wanzhi and Shen Huaishuang went to a nearby park. There were many play facilities there, and Little Kite was jumping around on the trampoline, having a wonderful time. Shen Huaishuang searched for two neighborhoods for Shen Wanzhi, compared the rental prices online, and ultimately settled on one.
The two women took the child there by taxi and found a real estate agency upon arrival. The agent showed them a few properties, and after some comparison, they chose a two-bedroom apartment. It was very clean, and the furniture was of good quality—not the cheap, second-hand pieces typically bought for rentals. The monthly rent was three thousand, slightly higher than the others, but it was acceptable to Shen Wanzhi. The terms were one month's rent as a deposit and three months' rent paid upfront. Shen Wanzhi signed the contract and paid twelve thousand to the landlord.
With the apartment secured, a weight was lifted off Shen Wanzhi’s heart. They bought some cleaning rags, dish soap, a broom, and a mop, and set about scrubbing the place from top to bottom. Little Kite was well-behaved, playing by herself without causing any trouble.
