"First, let's talk about the issue of retirement. You can buy a small apartment in the city, and when Dad retires, you can move here. Then you can all live together in the city. Even if you get sick in your old age, Lu Jun and I will be able to take care of you. Isn't that great?
As for your question about retirement, let's assume it's a younger brother. Would he be the one to take care of you? That's simply impossible. Mom, you're 43, and Dad is 53.

Your sister will find a stable job in town after she graduates, and it'll be close to us, so that's great."
