Waking Up Again, Became a Post-50s

Over fifty years old, without children, she cared for her aging parents. After seeing them to their end, and with a bit of savings in hand, a mysterious space suddenly appeared.

What was ther...

Chapter 343 How could things possibly go as planned?

"The matter is settled!"

"Yeah! It's so much better now! I don't have to be busy all the time! I can leave work whenever I want! I should have retired earlier, so I could have rested for a few more years."

"That's you, I don't get that treatment! I'm only a few years away from retirement, but I feel busier than before."

"That's true. Can your work compare to others? Besides, you still have to wait a few years."

But it will be soon. Then we can travel around and go wherever we want. The kids won't need us anyway, so we can enjoy ourselves while we're still young.

"Yes, I haven't had time to spend with you properly all these years. It's a good time to take you traveling around after I retire."

Oh, right, I just remembered something.

"What is it? Tell me."

"What else could it be? I just heard that someone is introducing Hongyu to potential partners, and not only are their family backgrounds no worse than ours, but some of them are even better off than ours. What do you think about this?"

"How should I see it? I don't really see it; I just let things take their course!"

Now they are determined to arrange a marriage between our family and ours. Although I do not agree with this, if the two children like each other and the girl is good, even if the family is slightly lacking or of higher social standing, it doesn't matter.

But if someone did it intentionally, then let it be! We don't want to be enemies with them, but we won't deliberately try to please them either.

Anyway, we didn't start this, it's all their enthusiasm that's being unilateral, so let's just wait for the kids to decide for themselves!

If I force him to date that girl, I'm afraid it will backfire.

"That's true, I'm just afraid that this kid might become averse to relationships because of this."

Fortunately, this kid understands the principle, otherwise it wouldn't be good if he fell headfirst into it.

And I recently heard that this kid has been making excuses to hide.

"Let him hide. How old is he? Besides, how long can he hide?"

Don't forget, the people who want him as their son-in-law are all no less capable than you. No matter how far he hides, they will find him.

The fear is that at that time, even if the other party forces him to date someone, he will think that the other person is afraid.

And I think he wants to know who it is that doesn't take him seriously, otherwise not just anyone could conquer him.

"That's true. Let's leave him alone for now. This kid is still young and can gain more experience in a few years. By then, he won't be able to avoid getting married even if he doesn't want to."

Besides, we haven't been pressuring our children, have we?

We probably don't need to worry too much about this kid.

"Even if we wanted to shut it down, it wouldn't be now. Otherwise, we'd be swamped with work. Can't you see everyone's watching him?"

"I'm afraid it's not just him they're targeting! I heard that the other boys in the family are also being watched by others?"

"Yes, that's right! But we can't say for sure about this, especially when it comes to feelings. It really requires two people to be attracted to each other."

"That's true. By the way, you said earlier that after I retire, we'd go out for a walk. Have you decided where to go first?"

"I want to see the place where my parents last carried out their mission!"

I'd like to go there and take a look, but I don't know if it's possible.

"What? Or have you discovered something?"

"What are you thinking? I know the situation was special back then, and I know that things weren't as they seemed on the surface, but I've never doubted that their deaths were carried out by our own people."

He simply wanted to see and retrace the steps they had taken.

"Okay, no matter what the situation is, wherever you want to go, I'll arrange everything."

Besides, decades have passed, so there shouldn't be any problems. Moreover, what era are we living in? Going wherever you want is easy, isn't it? I'll go with you then.”

"good."

Over the years, I have been investigating the cause of their deaths, but I have no clues. Besides, so many years have passed, even if it was because of something, so much time has passed, how could I possibly find any clues?

The fact that the authorities call them martyrs means that even if they really are, they don't want to investigate, right?

However, I still believe that they sacrificed themselves in the fight against the enemy, and I just want to go and see them because I miss them.

There's really nothing else to it, I just wanted to light some incense for them and pay my respects. After all, they are my parents in this life, and they love me to the core.

As for wanting to visit other places, anywhere is fine, and it doesn't matter what. However, seeing those elderly people return to their old places and seeing the tears in their eyes, I suddenly realized that I haven't visited my parents yet, and I realized how unfilial I am.

As for the elderly in the family, they seem to be in good health so far. Besides, my older brother is about to retire, so he can choose to return to Beijing or stay in the local area.

Moreover, the eldest son is in Beijing, so it wouldn't be a problem for him to take care of the old man.

I'm worried that the elderly couple might not be willing to live with young people. They might move in with Sister Nan, since she's retiring in the next two or three years.

Even if I am rehired by the hospital, I can't possibly go to work every day.

So the elderly in the family don't need to worry at all. Besides, the actual departure time will be three years from now, so it's too early to talk about all this now.

However, there is one thing that needs to be arranged in advance: our 20th-year college reunion.

To be honest, I haven't seen many classmates for many years. I can only see those who stayed in Beijing or Shanghai often. I rarely see classmates from other places.

Fortunately, the class monitor was in charge of organizing things, and issues such as meals and accommodation were easily resolved.

Due to work reasons, I won't participate in this, but I will take care of the food, accommodation, and so on. After all, I am the richest one among these students.

Although the specific time has been set, there is still some time, so there is no need to rush. You can take advantage of this time to visit Miaoshan.

In recent years, as urban residents have raised their demands for quality of life, agricultural production near Miaoshan has become increasingly green.

Moreover, there is a shortage of supply. Fortunately, there are not many other things around here, but there is a lot of idle land.

Moreover, in order to increase supply, they have used every possible method and done everything they can.

Even with a large investment, one can still make a considerable amount of money; the economy near Miaoshan is no worse than that of the surrounding areas.

Many people follow the trend and do it, and although they can make money, it's not very satisfactory.
