There are no weekends, no holidays.
The only easy thing is that I can see my dad and kids when I get home every day.
Tang Xiaoyu is very well-behaved. Knowing that her mother is very busy, she never bothers her.
When Mo Yan received the call and heard Cha Jie's name, she was somewhat dazed, as she hadn't heard that name in a long time.
It turns out that Cha Jie was dying from a serious illness.
He said he has cancer and is currently on medical parole. He wants to see Mo Yan.
Mo Yan refused outright. "You think you can just see me whenever you want? You wish!" he thought.
Mo Yan's refusal was unexpected for Cha Jie. He thought Mo Yan would agree, and he even wanted to entrust his two children to Mo Yan and ask her to help take care of them. But that was just a pipe dream.
Later, the police did call and told Mo Yan that they had been sentenced, that cameras would be installed on that road, and that they gave her some compensation.
Mo Yan refused the compensation and was very happy, believing that the area would definitely become the most beautiful national highway in the future.
Two years later, e-commerce emerged.
Mo Yan didn't sell nuts either. Their delivery service was very profitable. Back then, she didn't just join as a franchisee; she invested money directly. Although it wasn't much, she still made a considerable amount. With the rise of e-commerce, it was time for them to really make their mark.
Mo Yan immediately partnered with e-commerce platforms, and their express delivery business was poised for a new boom. They aimed to win over everyone with the best service and the most sincere prices.
In the blink of an eye, Tang Xiaoyu has grown up.
The old man is in good health. He's recently started dating and is calling his son and daughter.
The eldest brother quickly came out, dressed very formally, because he was going to meet his father's stepmother.
Who knew, that's what his dad said.
"Who said she's a stepmother? We're dating, not getting married."
Upon hearing this, the eldest brother said, "Father, any relationship that doesn't aim for marriage is just playing around."
The old man laughed heartily and immediately grabbed a feather duster and started hitting the eldest brother on the head. "What nonsense are you talking about? Let me tell you, we old folks have a lot to consider when it comes to love, and our approach is different from yours young people."
As long as we're happy together, that's enough. We don't plan to get married or live together; just chatting is fine.
Living together, we still have to worry about our financial interests. She has to take care of her grandson, and I have to take care of my granddaughter.
Sometimes it's nice to go shopping and chat together.
I'm telling you this so you won't overthink it. Do you understand?
Elderly people don't necessarily need to be together; what they really need is companionship and emotional comfort.
A phone call can provide someone to discuss things with.
Just having someone to accompany you is enough.
Looking at the old man's expression, Mo Yan knew he was serious, so she decided to support him.
"Shouldn't we treat that auntie to a meal?"
“Sure, let’s meet tomorrow. I’ll arrange it with her. Two families, two meetings will be fine. We’re just dating, not getting married.”
If you don't get married, you don't have to worry about how to save for retirement.
The children don't need to worry about whether they will favor one over the other.
That's fine.
I must say, their idea is quite novel: to date but not get married.
"Aren't you going to give your auntie a little surprise, a little romance? Aren't you going out for a meal or coffee?"
"Of course I'll take her. Am I the kind of person who's irresponsible? Even if she gets sick in the future, I'll still take good care of her. I'm just worried that you might think we're getting married and that I'll just give her the money that's rightfully mine..."
Before the old man could finish speaking, the eldest brother was speechless. "See? See? You told the truth, didn't you? Are my sister and I those kinds of people?"
The old man: "..."
That's because we're thinking, just in case.
