In 3735 AD, when Shi Yue was 25 years old, Shi Shangbai, who was 41 years older than her, was 66 years old, and Zhu Jin, who was 31 years older than her, was 56 years old.

Shi Shangbai is already semi-retired, but Zhu Jin is not. Doctors are different from other professions. The more experience you have, the stronger your ability is. The stronger your ability is, the heavier your responsibility is. Zhu Jin, whose status, identity and ability are completely different from what he was 20 years ago, is 56 years old and has reached a new starting point and a new beginning.

In the year 3735 AD, Zhu Jin and Shi Shangbai both grew old, although slowly, they showed normal signs of aging. Shi Shangbai's temples were already gray, while Zhu Jin's temples were not yet gray, and there were also silver threads in his black hair.

Ishigami Kashiwa's memory has shown signs of declining, but fortunately the rate of decline is very slow.

He didn't have time to observe how slow it was. Shi Wei's son, Shi Jueming, their eldest grandson, was fourteen years old and at a rebellious age. He would hang out in the old house every day and would never go back home which was only five minutes' walk away.

Now that he is here, Shi Shangbai and Zhu Jin have to take care of him. This Shi Jueming, which looks very much like Shi Wei back then, has cost Zhu Jin and Shi Shangbai a lot of thought.

Fortunately, although I was in a rebellious period, I still listened to my grandparents and aunt.

It goes without saying that Ishigami Bo and Zhu Jin love their grandson very much, and they take him with them most of the time when they travel to alien planets.

In 3736 AD, the 26-year-old Shi Yue finally said that she had someone she liked, but because of the special circumstances, she had to wait a few years before bringing the person back to show Zhu Jin and the others.

At this point, Ishigami Bo and Zhu Jin knew that the possibility of Luo Xinyi being their son-in-law had dropped from 50% to 5%.

Luo Le found Zhu Jin and cried to his master about Luo Xinyi's uselessness. The next day after crying, Luo Xinyi returned home with his girlfriend and proved his usefulness to his father with facts.

Luo Xinyi’s personality is like his father Luo Le, he is cheerful and not a stickler for details. Although he and Shi Yue are not boyfriend and girlfriend, they are still close senior and junior brothers and sisters.

Shi Shangbai and Zhu Jin waited for Shi Yue's boyfriend for two or three years but he never showed up.

It was not until 3740 AD that Shi Yue finally met her mysterious alien boyfriend. How to describe this prospective son-in-law? He is handsome and good. There is nothing to say about him and Shi Yue. He is just a little mysterious and has never revealed his identity.

Until he married Shi Yue, Zhu Jin and Shi Shangbai still didn't know what he did for a living.

In 3742 AD, Shi Yue gave birth to a granddaughter.

In 3745 AD, the family trip that had been planned for two or three years finally started, heading to outer space.

On this completely unfamiliar planet far away from the Blue Water Star, the family actually met an acquaintance, the Chonglou family, who were also traveling as a family.

We just met unexpectedly on a strange street.

Chong Haiyang passed away a few years ago, and Mrs. Chong Lou's parents also passed away. The entire Chong family is now only a family of three.

Chonglou's son looked very much like him. He was already over thirty years old this year. When Zhu Jin saw him for the first time, he felt as if he saw Chonglou of his youth.

Suddenly they met face to face on the street, and both of them were stunned for a moment.

Zhu Jin saw Chonglou, whose hair had turned white, and Chonglou also saw Zhu Jin.

Zhu Jin's hair turned white, and his face was full of warmth.

As time goes by, the young men of those days have now become gray-haired old ladies.

After a moment of silence, the two sides looked at each other for a few times without saying a word. They smiled and passed each other, and started walking on their own life paths again with the most important person in their lives.

Such a sudden encounter is unexpected, surprising, and the most beautiful.

Ten years passed in a flash.

Zhu Jin and Shi Shangbai finally accomplished another major event in their lives, which was helping their eldest grandson Shi Jueming get married.

As Shi Shangbai and Zhu Jin grew older, they became less at ease with Shi Wei, Shi Yue, and Shi Jueming's granddaughter Iris. After Shi Jueming got married and moved out of the old house, Iris moved into the old house and lived with her grandparents.

Another year passed, and Zhu Jin suddenly stopped all his trips.

When you reach a certain age, you feel that the deadline has come.

Zhu Jin felt that his end was approaching.

The deadline is approaching, and what she wants to do most is to accompany Ishigami Kashiwa through the last journey of his life.

Zhu Jin stopped all the work he was doing and spent every day with his granddaughter Ishigami Bo, teaching her medical skills.

A year passed in a flash, and Zhu Jin never thought that Ishigami Bai would leave before she completed the last journey of her life.

The day Shi Shangbai passed away was no different from any other day. Even in his old age, he still had the habit of nagging. He would get up early in the morning and pull Zhu Jin to nag her not to do this or that. Zhu Jin was a little hard of hearing, so she could only listen vaguely and hum from time to time, but she didn't care.

As Ishigami Kashiwa was nagging, the two of them ate their lunch slowly, went to the backyard to take a nap, and after getting up, Ishigami Kashiwa suddenly wanted to organize his treasured collection.

After living together for several decades, Ishigami Kashiwa has collected a lot more things.

Ishigami Bai thought about it again and again, and decided to just let Zhu Jin help him clean up. Zhu Jin covered his mouth and laughed secretly.

Shi Shangbai thought he had hidden the treasure well for his entire life, and Zhu Jin would secretly visit it every year.

Ishigami Bo was old, his eyesight was blurry and his hearing was poor, so he didn't notice Zhu Jin's little movements at all. He put his hands behind his back and awkwardly shared his treasure with Zhu Jin.

It has been too long since I put it away, and the once bright things have all taken on an old color. No matter how well they are kept, they always have a musty smell and a little dust. Zhu Jin could not smell any musty smell, but he sneezed a few times.

Shi Shangbai patted the boy's back and fed him water, and he was very skilled at it.

Iris, who couldn't hear any movement from the elders, quietly pushed the door open and saw grandpa showing off something to grandma.

"This is the birthday present I shamelessly forced myself to give you. You looked so handsome in it then. How about I wear it again and show you?" The grandfather was eager to try on a set of very old ancient clothes, neatly folded.

"You are shorter now, and the clothes you wear will drag on the ground. You'd better not wear them." Grandma was a little disgusted. After criticizing Grandpa, she picked up a yellowed object and asked, "Is this my handkerchief?"

"They are mine. You gave them all to me." Grandpa put the clothes away carefully and took out a few more handkerchiefs proudly. "I have a lot of handkerchiefs. This one is the first one, it's..." Grandpa pointed at the handkerchiefs one by one and showed where they came from.

"They all look the same, how could you remember them so clearly?" Grandma turned over her handkerchief and asked the question that Iris was thinking about.

"They are not the same." Grandpa was very unhappy, but grandma coaxed him back with a few words, and he continued to show off enthusiastically.

Iris eavesdropped for a while, then quietly left. When she came back, she heard a voice saying, "See, I said I could mop the floor." It was her grandmother's voice.

When she quietly opened the door, she saw grandpa wearing a set of ancient clothes. Iris was not surprised at all. She thought it must be grandpa who insisted on asking grandma to help him put it on.

My grandfather is older and his hands and feet are not very flexible, so he needs my grandmother's help to put on clothes.

"If I had known a few years ago, I would have asked you to make me a shorter one." Grandpa was very sad.

"You're still making clothes when you can't even wear them all." Grandma was dissatisfied, "I made so many for you, and you still snatch Shi Wei's clothes to wear."

Grandpa hummed but didn't refute.

Iris touched the clothes on her body and couldn't stop smiling. The clothes she was wearing were made by her grandmother several years ago. She said she was afraid that she would not be able to make them when she got old, so she made them in advance.

At dinner time, I heard grandma nagging about helping grandpa fix the clothes he was wearing. After dinner, the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren talked and laughed as usual. Grandpa talked a lot that night, and as a result, he got tired early.

Grandma accompanied grandpa to rest. She played for a while and went to see the two elders as usual before going to bed.

Under the dim light, grandpa was holding grandma's hand, and they were both sleeping soundly.

The next day, her grandmother came out and told her that her grandfather had passed away.

Went there at midnight.

When Shi Wei, Shi Yue and Shi Jueming arrived, Zhu Jin calmly told them, "He woke me up in the middle of the night, said goodbye to me and left."

Ishigami Kashiwa left this world before her with an apology.

Zhu Jin altered the ancient clothing, and after that it fit Shi Shangbai well.

During Shi Shangbai's funeral, Zhu Jin was the calmest. However, after Shi Shangbai's funeral, Zhu Jin suddenly became sleepy and slept all day long. As Shi Wei, Shi Yue and others became more and more worried, Zhu Jin inexplicably ended his sleepiness.

After Zhu Jin regained consciousness, he asked to see Shi Shangbai.

Zhu Jin stroked Shi Shangbai's tombstone, and finally sat with his back against the tombstone for a long time.

She grew old again, with a familiar feeling and a familiar farewell.

But this time, she will never have another life with her memories.

"My life, like yours, is a happy one." Zhu Jin was about to leave. He turned around with difficulty, resting his forehead against the tombstone and muttering to himself.

When Ishigami Kashiwa said goodbye, he was very happy with her in his life.

Zhu Jin heard that sentence clearly.

Two weeks later, Zhu Jin had dealt with all his affairs for his future life and passed away as he had expected.

He died in his dream without suffering any pain.

Global condolences.

At the grand funeral, Chonglou attended the funeral with his wife, son and grandson.

Chonglou wanted to take a look at Zhu Jin, but he couldn't see the portrait clearly. At the funeral, he walked straight towards the portrait and was quickly hugged by his son, "Dad."

"I'll just take a look at her." Chonglou patted his son's hand and explained.

The son became sad when he heard this.

He knew that soon his father would also pass away. Birth, aging, sickness and death are something that no one can stop.

"Please put on your glasses before you look. With your eyes, how can you see without them?" Madam Zhong, who was old but still had her back straight and had an imposing manner that no one dared to underestimate, took off her glasses and put them on Chonglou's nose.

Chonglou finally saw Zhu Jin's portrait clearly. Zhu Jin was smiling, her hair was combed meticulously, full of silver hair, and her face and eyes were wrinkled deeply. Chonglou looked at her with a satisfied smile, "You are old, and you really look like this."

Compared to now, Zhu Jin was not old at all more than ten years ago.

When he was young, he thought that it didn't matter if they died together, but today, looking at her portrait, he felt that it would be better for her to live until old age.

Chonglou said goodbye to Zhu Jin seriously. When he turned his head to see his wife's white hair and wrinkles, he couldn't help but laugh, "You're old too."

"Do you still think you are young?" Madam Zhong rolled her eyes at him and let him walk out with her support.

If you overuse your body when you are young, you will use it less and less as you get older. Fortunately, the old man next to me is in the same situation.

Madam Chong thought that it would be better for the couple to find someone with a relatively small age difference.

Otherwise, when you are old, it is not good if the people around you are much younger or much older than you.

The two of them left the funeral together with their son and grandson.

Two years later, Madam Chong passed away.

Two years later, Chonglou passed away.

In the same year, Shanglu and his wife passed away one after another, and there were fewer and fewer people of Zhu Jin's generation left.

The only person of the same generation as them who has never truly passed away is Shang Lu, whom no one can see except Zhu Jin.

He was older than anyone of their generation, but he was still alive and wandering, watching them leave one by one.

Except for him and Helian Zhen, these old friends who left behind all left behind descendants and children.

After they leave, their sons and daughters will grow old, and their grandchildren will grow up.

Year after year, endlessly.
