"Mom, I didn't expect you to really go with me. That's great. I didn't expect the air at night to be so fresh. Mom, do you remember when we were in ancient times, we were always fighting wars, and you carried me on your back as you ran. Now that our lives are better and we don't have to fight wars anymore, can I carry you on my back and walk slowly?"
"If there's enough time, it's not impossible."
Ji Nianqin's mother seems to be able to adapt to today's society better than Ji Nianqin. Respecting and loving the elderly has become an important part of every civilized person's three views.
“So heavy.”
"Is it heavy? I've been traveling recently and eating great food. I say it's a budget trip, but actually, the food, drinks, and entertainment are all excellent. I heard that the government subsidized each of us tourists, especially us seniors. We can even go to tourist attractions for free. It's so cool."
"Haha, Mom, as long as you are happy."
Ji Nianqin carried her mother on her back step by step, just like her mother carried her when she was a child.
"Mom, I always feel that it's unrealistic. I'm afraid that one day I'll go back to ancient times. Do you feel the same way?"
"Of course, I would too, but don't worry too much. Plans can't keep pace with changes. Instead of worrying about the uncertain future, it's better to live in the present. As long as my daughter is there, anywhere is home."
"Mom, you sound so moved. That's right, worrying about this and that is like doing nothing all day, like a fortune teller. Mom, you're so insightful. Where did you learn that?"
"Many of us older sisters are very educated. Didn't you hear that Mom's accent has changed? When in Rome, do as the Romans do. By the way, I'm just resting at home for a few days. After that, I'm going out with my sisters. Our motherland is vast and rich in resources. In the past, transportation was slow, and many people had to stay in one place their entire lives, growing old, getting sick, and dying. Now that life is better, we should take advantage of the fact that we can still move around and go out and see more."
"Yes, mother, you are so lucky. I want to go with you."
"It's the same thing if you look online. One time, we passed by an internet cafe and went into a private room. We saw a lot of videos from abroad, as well as videos of domestic tourist attractions and dynamic experiences. In short, it's almost as if you were there in person. You young people, this is the time to serve your country. Don't just think about playing all the time, because you still have a lot of time to play in the future."
"By the way, Mom, you have pension insurance now. Although you didn't pay in the past, you can make up for it. I thought since I still have hundreds of thousands of dollars, I paid it for you. It turned out that it wasn't too much at all, and I've been paying you a salary every month. Isn't that great?"
"How much does that cost?"
"It's really not much, just a year's salary for a modern, hardworking young person, but it's enough to provide my parents with retirement security and medical insurance. It's because of the good country that my store's business is booming. Besides, my mother is so amazing that she was able to find our home after it was demolished. It's awesome."
"Girl, pinch me, am I dreaming?"
Ji Nianqin's mother suddenly jumped off her back, as if she had just returned from a journey with a traveler. All aspects of her body functions were much better than before, especially her eyes, which saw only beautiful scenery.
"You're not dreaming, this is real. Does it hurt?"
Ji Nianqin grinned, feeling her skin was so tender. It turned out that egg white was a natural beauty product. If it were in the past, it would definitely be a luxury, but in modern times, it can be used to make high-end facial masks.
"Finally, we're here..."
