"Mom, it's not that bad. You and Dad have always been in good health and take good care of yourselves. As long as we keep these three highs under control, we won't end up like that."
"Don't try to make me happy with that. I know my body better than anyone. Right now, I'm just hoping those of you who aren't married yet will get married soon."
To avoid any regrets in the end, as for whether I can wait until Xiao Shi's child is born, I really don't dare to think about that.
"What are you saying? You will definitely see the day when Xiao Shi gets married."
"Let's forget about it then! It's already pretty good that we can have four generations living together now."
You know, at our age, there aren't many people who can see their great-grandchildren. Your dad and I have already seen three, and just the thought of welcoming our fourth great-grandchildren makes us happy.
"By the way, Junde's wife is about to give birth. When are you going to come over?"
"I'll go tomorrow, but Mom, I'm going there like this. Although my third brother is here at home, will he be able to take care of you two?"
"What are you worried about? Taking care of Mom and Dad isn't that difficult!"
"No need for you. You and your wife go together. Your dad and I will go stay at your older brother's house for a while."
"Mom, wouldn't going to my older brother's house be too much trouble?"
"No trouble at all, I might as well go and see their two little ones."
"Alright then! That means it'll only be Xiao Xuan at home."
Anyway, he just started kindergarten this year, so it doesn't really matter whether he goes or not. We'll just take him to stay with Junde for a while.
"Alright, his parents' been busy lately. By the way, where's the kid?"
"Is he practicing boxing in the backyard? I'll go check on him, invite him over for dinner, and after dinner I'll take him to kindergarten and ask for a leave of absence for him."
"Can."
As people get older, all sorts of health problems will appear, but those who take good care of themselves will experience these problems later in life.
It's hard to say for people who don't take care of themselves.
Fortunately, they are usually in good health, otherwise I really wouldn't dare to say anything.
To be able to go out for a walk every day at the age of eighty or ninety without needing anyone to take care of you is a blessing.
At this age, they are just like children in everything they do, from eating and dressing to even some of their actions. Fortunately, neither of them has dementia, otherwise it would be even more troublesome.
Since they were planning to go to their older brother's place, we decided to deliver the package there on the way, taking a slight detour.
A few years after my elder brother retired, my sister-in-law, due to health reasons from her earlier years, could not work too hard and also retired completely after she turned sixty.
Unlike her colleagues, she didn't continue to participate in scientific research or mentor students.
On the contrary, they help take care of the children at home, so it's not impossible for the two elderly people to go there if they want.
Another one isn't far away. Since they retired, they moved to the villa area ahead of time. There are good schools, a good environment, and good facilities there.
Staying there for a while wouldn't be bad; at least it's not as lively as here, and it'll be a bit quieter.
With the development of the times, even though most people live in high-rise buildings, there are still many people who prefer to live in bungalows.
Moreover, this area is practically the heart of the city, making it convenient for commuting to work or doing anything else.
"Grandpa, am I really not going to kindergarten tomorrow?"
"Okay, but you can't fall behind in your studies!"
"Oh! But what if I don't know how?"
"It's okay if you don't know how, Grandpa can teach you!"
"Grandpa, are you going to Uncle's house too?"
"What? Is that not allowed?"
"No, it's just that you don't have to go to work?"
"This little Mi has quite a few things to worry about. Go wash your hands and eat."
"oh!"
Since we sent the kids here, the house has definitely become more lively.
The old lady originally wanted to bring her eldest brother's two children to live with her for a while, but ever since that talk, her eldest brother has been less inclined to let his children come and stay permanently.
I don't want their in-laws to misunderstand. You know, sometimes even if you talk things out, some people still only think about what they think and never look at the facts.
I don't know if my older brother heard something about this, or if his two in-laws said something that reached his ears.
Anyway, I've heard others mention it, and it wasn't just one person.
Although Beijing is a large city with a population of over ten million, there are many people from all walks of life who know each other.
Even if they have a lot of money, they never consider themselves rich.
He still maintains a particularly close relationship with his old friends who had been sent to the countryside or worked in the countryside.
Some things you can know without having to investigate them.
I just didn't tell anyone else. As for how my older brother found out, I really don't know, but there's no need to ask.
As for their two little ones, they might come over to stay for a day or two, but not for very long.
After all, the elderly are still alive, and the couple are both retired, so they come to visit the elderly from time to time.
Originally, after my elder brother retired, he suggested that my parents move to his place. However, the elderly couple were used to living here, and there were many old neighbors here. They could also find people to play chess and go shopping from time to time, so they did not move there.
As for my second sister, Shen Nan, although she has retired, she is just as busy as before she retired.
After all, he not only had to work at the hospital, but also teach at the school. It could be said that since retiring, my second sister's husband has become her personal driver.
Their children are not married yet, but it will be soon, and they can gradually retire to take care of the children.
I just don't know if my second sister would be willing, after all, she is also a career-oriented woman.
The elderly couple would sometimes go there to stay for a while, not to see their daughter, but to inquire about the marriage prospects of their two grandsons. Fortunately, they only inquired and did not arrange blind dates for them as before.
I'm afraid there's no chance now. Ever since what happened last time, they've all either gone into hiding or have someone they like.
So they decided not to go there anymore and could only go to their older brother's place. As for Shenbei, they didn't even consider it, since their family wasn't in Beijing at the moment.
If I want to return to Beijing, I can only do so after I retire.
However, this will probably have to wait a few more years, since his wife is a few years younger than him. In that case, it might take at least ten or eight years, and that's assuming he's not rehired. After all, she is a doctor.
That's the good thing about studying medicine: the older you get, the higher your salary becomes, and the more sought-after you are.
"Are you full?"
"I'm full, Great-Grandma. I'm going to school now. Great-Grandpa, Great-Grandma, Grandma, don't miss me. I'll be back soon. Bye-bye!"
"Bye-bye! I don't know where this kid learned to be so sweet-talking."
