That year, Zhou Yi turned sixty and wanted to retire. In his words, if he didn't retire, those below him would have no chance to rise.

He's become dispensable in this position; he's unlikely to achieve anything significant. Younger people with higher education levels are more suitable for leading a modern military.

The trend of modern military officers becoming younger and more professional, and the military becoming more technologically advanced and intelligent, is an inevitable trend.

Over the years, he has not let down the country, the people, or his own youth, but he has let down his family!

He wants to spend the rest of his time with his family, his wife, and his parents.

Unfortunately, now that I want to spend time with my children, they all have their own careers and are past the age where they need their parents' company!

Fortunately, his parents are still in good health, and his wife is still young and beautiful. He wants to take his family to live by the sea.

Going to sea is his wife's favorite thing to do, but he has never had the chance to accompany her on a long ocean voyage. While he is still in good health, he must accompany his wife on an ocean fishing adventure!

When Zhou Yi returned to the courtyard in Houhai, he found Chen Hong and the old man and woman fertilizing and weeding the vegetable garden in the backyard!

"Let me do it!" Zhou Yi took the fertilizer bag from the old man's hand. "Dad, you and Mom go and rest for a while!"

"Mom, don't pull those two weeds. I'll pull the rest after I fertilize this patch!"

The old man came out of the vegetable patch and said, "Perfect timing, I'm thirsty too. I'll go make a pot of tea and come back for everyone to drink."

The old lady nagged, "You're such a troublemaker. You've only been working for half an hour, and you're already peeing and pooping. Now you're thirsty again."

Like a lazy donkey on a millstone, all it does is produce excrement and piss! Hurry up and finish, the sun will be high in the sky and it'll be so hot soon!

"Once you're done, go back inside and do what you need to do. You're such a slowpoke, dawdling around with the hoe like you're holding a sesame oil paddle! It's driving me crazy!"

"You old lady, you've always been impatient since you were young, and you still haven't changed at this age."

With just these few plots of land, what work would be left if we finished them all earlier? Let's take our time. We agreed to do it for fun, just as exercise, so what's the rush?

Besides, brewing a pot of tea isn't just for me; everyone's drinking it. We can finish the tea first, then continue working. If we don't finish in the afternoon when it cools down, we can continue later!

The elderly couple bickered and went to the stone table in the corner to cool off and drink tea. Chen Hong kept pulling grass in her hands, listening with a smile to the couple's daily quarrels.

This is a unique way for the elderly couple to spend their time together. With the two elderly people often coming over to help her grow vegetables and flowers, she doesn't feel lonely even though her children have grown up and are no longer at home.

Xiaoyun's son is in high school this year. Huo Jinhui is busy, and Xiaoyun is also busy taking care of her son, so she doesn't come over often.

At noon, Zhou Yi cooked with Chen Hong. Now, he can also cook some simple home-style dishes.

During the meal, Zhou Yi told the two elderly people about his desire to retire.

"Retire! After you retire, go out and have some fun with Chen Hong! All these years you've been in the army, when you went on overseas trips, it was always Chen Hong, a woman, who took the children with her all by herself."

To be honest, with things so chaotic outside these days, I'm always on edge whenever my wife and her two daughters go abroad.

But we can't stop the children from going out and seeing the world. Let them go out, because no country is as safe as our own!

These past years have truly been tough on Chen Hong! She was such a determined and ambitious person back then, but for you and our two children, she's been stuck at home for so many years!

Chen Hong was very touched. Her parents-in-law understood her very well. She felt that she had made the right choice in marrying Zhou Yi.

"Dad, Mom, I have to thank you. If it weren't for you taking care of the family, I wouldn't even have time to go out to sea, let alone take the kids abroad."

I'm very satisfied with these years. I've been to all the countries I wanted to visit and fished in all the seas I wanted to go.

There are no regrets. The important thing is that you and my parents are all over eighty years old, still in good health, and can still be with us. We, as their children, are so happy.

Zhou Yi: "Mom and Dad, after the formalities are completed, we'll go stay at Chen Hong's hometown for a while."

We'll move to Sanya for the New Year when it gets cold in winter. Our family plantation has been around for so many years, and I've never been there even once.

Chen Hong told me that the plantation has cultivated several new varieties of fruit, so let's go take a look and pick some fruit ourselves.

“You’ve missed out on a lot. Let me tell you, aquaculture in Chen Hong’s hometown is also developing very well. Now the scale of sea cucumber, abalone, seahorse, and yellow croaker farming is quite large.”

They're semi-wild farmed; you should check them out. The quality is exceptionally good, and they taste just as good as wild ones!

The old man spoke with great pride about his daughter-in-law's business.

The old lady wasn't to be outdone, saying, "Chen Hong and her group's tea plantation is also very well-developed. The tea they produce has become a special supply, and you can't buy it on the market at all."

Chen Hong also missed the village chief and Aunt Guo. That's how people are; the older they get, the more nostalgic they become.

In recent years, Wang Yiming, Wang Yihan, Xiao Hao, and Wang Xin all got married one after another.

Wang Yiming graduated from university in Jinan, pursued graduate studies at his alma mater, married a classmate, stayed in Jinan to work, and is now a father.

After graduating from university in Shanghai, Wang Yihan returned to her hometown and joined her family's fishing company. Now she is capable of handling things independently and is the successor to Chen Hong and her family.

Xiao Hao was admitted to a military academy and after graduation joined the army to engage in weapons research and development. He hasn't been seen for several years.

Wang Xin, by a twist of fate, didn't get into military academy but went to university in Wuhan. After graduating, he went abroad for further studies and worked in the IT industry. He said he planned to return to China to develop his career in the last two years, but he hasn't come back yet. I heard he married a foreign woman, but Chen Hong has never met her.

Wang Yihan is married and has a child; she's an adult now.

Time flies, Chen Hong sighed. Other people's children are all married, but her Yu Yang is still unmarried!
