Chapter 263 The rest of life
Young couples always like to stick together, especially Wang Shan and Yan Shen. They are too busy on weekdays, and when they finally get a chance to go on vacation, they would like to be like conjoined twins.
Whenever this happened, Wang Xiuren felt very complicated.
He wanted to slap the hand that was around his daughter's waist, but when he saw the sweet smile on his daughter's face, he could only endure it silently.
Lin Qiu coldly watched him struggle secretly, and quietly told his daughter to let her and Yan Shen be more restrained and be careful not to upset their old father.
Fortunately, they left a few days after the New Year.
Wang Shan was going back to Pengcheng to prepare her works for the exhibition in Hong Kong, and Yan Shen's supervisor also called to urge him to return to the laboratory.
After sending his daughter and the brat on the plane, Wang Xiuren couldn't help but sigh.
"There are four of us left again."
"What? Do you dislike the three of us?" Lin Qiu asked him deliberately.
"How could that be?" Wang Xiuren quickly stated his position, "I just can't bear to leave Shanshan."
"I don't want to let him go either, but the child has grown up and needs to have his own life." Lin Qiu comforted him instead.
Back then, when Shanshan first went to college, it was Wang Xiuren who comforted her.
I never thought that after just a few years, he was the one who couldn't let go.
"Do you think we would be better off now if we had given birth to another child? At least we still have one child by our side."
Lin Qiu really didn't know how Wang Xiuren's brain circuit turned to this, but he still continued: "If we had one more child, how could we be so relaxed now? Besides, can you guarantee that you can keep one by your side?"
Wang Xiuren also felt that he had taken it for granted and could only shut up in embarrassment.
Lin Qiu got rid of Wang Xiuren, changed his clothes, and went to the hotel gym to learn yoga with his coach.
Since getting older, his body has become somewhat fatter. Lin Qiu doesn't want to become bloated, but he can't lose weight by dieting, so he can only be more diligent and move around.
Wang Xiuren could only stroll out of the hotel and wander around by himself.
After a while, I felt bored and went back to the room, lying on the lounge chair on the balcony, facing the sea, with a thoughtful look on my face.
When Lin Qiu came back from the gym sweating, she saw her husband standing on the balcony with a lonely look on his face, and decided to take a shower first.
Lin Qiu came out of the shower and wiped her hair with a towel. She felt that Wang Xiuren's condition was because he had not yet fully adapted to retirement life.
Although he has been in semi-retirement for the past two years, he still has some things to deal with.
This time when he came to Sanya, he was free all day long. He suddenly had a lot of extra time, which made him feel a little lost.
Lin Qiu sat on another recliner next to Wang Xiuren, wiped his hair, turned his head to look at him and suggested: "Wait until the sun is a little smaller, I will go out for a walk with you?"
Wang Xiuren was bored, but when he heard the suggestion, he nodded without hesitation.
Lin Qiu found it a little funny to see his impatient look. It really bored him.
So, he quickened his hand movements.
When her hair stopped dripping, she changed her clothes, combed her hair a few times, then put on flip-flops, held Wang Xiuren's hand and walked out of the hotel.
The public areas of this hotel are perfect for strolling, with towering coconut trees and buildings complementing each other, giving it a strong Southeast Asian feel.
The two walked along the shade of the trees towards the beach. The slightly salty and moist sea breeze felt very comfortable on their faces.
Lin Qiu found two beach chairs on the beach, sat down, and refused to leave.
"Didn't you say you would walk with me?" Wang Xiuren looked at her with a smile.
"We walked all the way here from the hotel." Lin Qiu said confidently.
Wang Xiuren couldn't do anything with her and could only lie with her on the beach chair.
He put his hands behind his head, stretched his legs straight, and looked at the clear blue sky through the shadows of the trees above his head.
In the past two years, more and more families have come to Hainan to spend the winter, bringing their families with them, and it is very lively.
At this moment, the sunlight was a little smaller, and the beach was full of children and the adults who were taking care of them, chattering and making a lot of noise.
Wang Xiuren felt his head buzzing from the screams of the children. He couldn't help but feel lucky: "It's good that we only have Shanshan."
Hearing this, Lin Qiu opened his eyes and glared at the capricious man next to him, "Weren't you regretting not having another child not long ago?"
"I was thinking the wrong thing." Wang Xiuren turned his eyes away embarrassedly, "It's better to have only one child. Having fewer and better children will save you a lot of trouble and effort."
"If we had three children like your eldest son, we would probably be the same as them. When we were young, we had to work hard to save money for our two sons. When we were old, we would still be busy and have to take care of the whole family. How could we be so leisurely chatting and enjoying the sea breeze?" Lin Qiu pulled Wang Xiu De for comparison.
Wang Xiuren recalled that when he called home on New Year's Day, Li Xiuying talked about the bad things happening in Wang Xiude's family, and he couldn't help shaking his head.
Lin Qiu also leaned over to listen that day.
Li Xiuying didn't know if it was because she was too old, but all she talked about on the phone were trivial family matters, and the one she talked about the most was the fight between Yang Liu and his two daughters-in-law.
"Fortunately, I won't have a daughter-in-law in the future." She patted her chest in gratitude.
"But you have a son-in-law." Wang Xiuren felt that she was letting go too early.
"Have you never heard this saying, the more the mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law, the happier she is." Lin Qiu laughed loudly.
"The more Mr. Yue looks at his son-in-law, the angrier he gets." Wang Xiuren snorted coldly.
Lin Qiu couldn't help but smile and shook his hand, "It's not that bad actually. We won't be living together anyway, so if you don't see it, you won't be bothered."
"Does Shanshan have to live in their house? I don't want Shanshan to suffer the anger of her mother-in-law." Wang Xiuren became even more unhappy.
"Let them live alone, it will be good for all three parties." Lin Qiu expressed his thoughts, "If they need our help, we will go over to help, but normally we should not go over to interfere with their lives. Young people nowadays are different from when we were young."
"I'll go talk to their family when the time comes." Wang Xiuren thought for a moment and said in a deep voice.
"We'll talk about it when the time comes." Lin Qiu felt that according to his daughter's ideas, it was unclear when it would reach that step.
"Let's go to Tibet this year? Haven't you always wanted to go there?" Wang Xiuren changed the subject.
"Didn't you ask me not to go? You said you were afraid of altitude sickness." Lin Qiu was very puzzled.
"I've thought it through. There are some things that we should try to complete while we are still healthy, so as to avoid any regrets." Wang Xiuren held her hand and looked into the distance.
"Let's go back and write down in a notebook which places you want to visit. I'll accompany you to visit them one by one, and we'll try to visit them all before you turn 60."
Lin Qiuhui held his hand and said, "Okay, let's plan together and go one place at a time."
They are only fifty now, and there is still a long time to plan the rest of their lives.
