A New Look in the 80s

Yao Fanghua was quiet and reserved since childhood, but she possessed a pair of clever hands. Her fingers were flexible and slender, and she loved to tinker. After dismantling her grandfather's...

Chapter 135 Unaware of the Sun and Moon

A car picked them up as soon as they got off the plane, and Li Chunying and Yao Deyi were overwhelmed with sights along the way.

Upon entering the villa area, Li Chunying gripped Yao Fanghua's hand tightly. "I thought you were just bragging when you told me it was like living in a park. You... you really live in a park?" Seeing a villa they passed, her voice trembled slightly. "Yes, is this the kind of house?"

"Hmm. Pretty much the same."

Li Chunying gasped in surprise. "It's so big and nice!" She leaned closer to Yao Fanghua and whispered, "How much did this house cost? Tell Mom, how much money do you actually have?"

Yao Fanghua thought for a moment and really didn't know how much money she had now, whether it was just cash, or included the factory and real estate.

"I don't know, I haven't calculated it." That's the honest answer.

Li Chunying patted her chest; it was an amount she couldn't even count on her fingers. Good heavens, how many that would be…

The third brother still recognized Li Chunying, and when he saw her, he rushed towards her.

"Third brother, third brother, oh my, I thought you were dead. You're still alive." Li Chunying hugged the third brother.

The third brother let out a dissatisfied howl and gave Li Chunying a slap on the bottom.

After resting for two days, Yao Fanghua and Wu Peng took Yao Deyi and Li Chunying to the port city. They went straight to a gold watch shop and bought a pair of gold watches for the two of them. Then they had a meal at a restaurant.

After leaving the restaurant, Li Chunying spotted some fish and meat shumai at a street vendor and ate several, saying they were even better than the food in the restaurant. The atmosphere in the restaurant had made her feel so uncomfortable that she didn't even know how to use chopsticks.

Looking up, I saw a video on the TV wall of the shopping mall across the street, showing a girl singing and dancing, with several backup dancers behind her.

Yu Qingqing won third place in the singing competition; this is from her newly released album.

Li Chunying stared at it for several seconds, then asked Yao Fanghua in a daze, "Why does the person in this picture look so much like Yu Qingqing?"

It's no wonder Li Chunying couldn't believe it; after all, those who appear on television are either high-ranking leaders or celebrities.

Yao Fanghua looked up and said, "Yes, it's Yu Qingqing."

"Is it really her? Wow, she's a star?!"

This girl has loved singing and dancing since she was little. I only heard she came to the South, I never imagined she came to a port city and became a star?

Why hasn't Bai Hui mentioned it? Why didn't she brag about it in the alley? That's strange. Thinking of Bai Hui's boastful face when she came to her, Li Chunying didn't even find the shumai very appetizing anymore.

Li Chunying pouted: "But their clothes are way too revealing."

Yao Fanghua looked up again. "It's alright. Uh, the people here are quite open-minded. You haven't even been to the beach yet. People there only wear tank tops and shorts. I'll buy you a swimsuit and take you to the beach to experience it."

Yao Deyi snorted, "Your mom is so happy. In the summer, she always goes to the lake to watch people swim."

Wu Peng laughed, "Mom, you have this hobby too?"

"Don't listen to your dad's nonsense, I was just looking at the scenery! I had nothing to do in the afternoon, so I went to relax and enjoy the view."

Yao Deyi muttered, "His eyes were glued to other people, and he was still looking at the scenery. Yes, the scenery, the scenery on other men's bodies."

Li Chunying closed her eyes in anger. If it weren't for the fact that the old man was sick, she would have definitely taken action!

She shares a room and a bed with Yao Deyi, but they haven't crossed paths for years! If she had Hua Hua's advantages, she probably wouldn't even need a separate bed; she'd probably have a separate room from Yao Deyi long ago!

She's been suffering for so many years, what's wrong with watching others swim? It's not illegal!! Besides, the point of swimming is to watch!!

In the afternoon, Yao Fanghua suggested that they both go to the hospital for a check-up.

Seeing that Li Chunying also needed to be examined, Yao Deyi finally relaxed his tense body.

After the examination, Wu Peng took Yao Deyi to the car to wait, while Yao Fanghua took Li Chunying to see the doctor.

Yao Deyi's condition is indeed not optimistic. The doctor said that it has become cancerous and it is definitely cancer.

Li Chunying's eyes immediately welled up with tears. "How much longer can I live?"

"It's hard to say. It depends on the individual. The family should be prepared that the chances of a cure are slim. We can only try to prolong life as much as possible."

Finally, the doctor advised the patient to keep a positive attitude, avoid stress, maintain a cheerful mood, and actively cooperate with the treatment.

Yao Fanghua wanted Yao Deyi to stay in the hospital for treatment, buy an apartment near the hospital, have Li Chunying accompany him, and hire two caregivers and two nannies. They could live in Gangcheng without any problems.

Ultimately, we'll still need Yao Deyi's consent.

So Li Chunying tricked Yao Deyi, telling him that treatment here could completely cure his illness, and asked him if he still wanted to live to eighty.

Without a doubt, Yao Deyi thought. Otherwise, given the severe withdrawal symptoms, he should listen to the doctor and quit drinking and smoking.

He has to quit. The doctor said that every sip he drinks reduces his lifespan by a year. How many years does he have left to drink?

"Can it really be cured? What exactly is wrong with me?"

"It's nothing serious. I'm just weak from drinking, and I got pneumonia from smoking. My stomach is also upset, so it's probably indigestion. I'll get it treated while I'm at it," Li Chunying said, spouting nonsense.

Li Chunying pulled Yao Deyi aside and whispered in his ear, "Your daughter has more money than she can spend now, why don't you spend some for her? You've seen the environment of this hospital, it's more like a retirement home than a hospital stay. Let's treat it as a retirement home, don't you want to enjoy life? When we get back to Beijing, you'll have plenty to brag about when you're chatting with those old men in the alley."

"Go back if you want, I'm going to be staying here for a while anyway."

"I didn't say I couldn't stay," Yao Deyi muttered softly. Besides, he's supposed to live to eighty.

After settling down in Hong Kong, Li Chunying and Yao Deyi became obsessed with watching dramas and variety shows, as well as singing competitions and beauty pageants. Hong Kong's television programs were incredibly exciting.

Li Chunying's favorite thing to watch is the entangled love-hate dramas during prime time. She'll find herself crying her eyes out while watching, constantly wondering how these characters go through all the breakups and reconciliations, and who ends up with whom!

Yao Deyi, on the other hand, preferred watching martial arts dramas and business dramas, even though he didn't understand them very well, he just found them exciting. The two of them were always fighting over control of the TV.

Yao Fanghua and Yao Weimin would come to see them whenever they had free time. Wu Peng, who frequently traveled to the port city, came even more often.

The elderly couple lived comfortably here, almost oblivious to the passage of time and forgetting all about home. Little did they know that she and Yao Deyi would one day be living such a life.

Li Chunying did call Yao Fangyuan and Zhang Xiuxiu respectively to let them know she was safe.
