"Yang Qing, if we hadn't had all those problems back then, would we still be living here now?"

"Just like now, sitting in a lounge chair, leisurely enjoying the moment."

Translation: "Just like now, sitting on the lounge chair, leisurely enjoying the time."

Yang Qing didn't dare to spoil the mood.

Translation: Yang Qing dared not break the atmosphere.

"I guess so; actually, I originally just wanted to take it easy."

Translation: "I suppose so; actually, at first I just wanted to lie flat."

"Having a job and a wife to hold, living like this for a lifetime would be pretty good."

Translation: "Having a job to do, a wife to hold, living like this for a lifetime would also be quite good……"

"But the world is unpredictable, and finding a steady job is extremely difficult."

Translation: "But alas, the world is unpredictable; finding a decent job is so difficult."

"I wanted to work as a skilled hand at the steel mill, but I was driven away."

Translation: "I wanted to go to the steel mill to do a skilled substitute job, but ended up being chased away."

"I went to the street office and was placed in long-term rental housing; you tell me, regarding Wan Ling's situation, could I not help?"

Translation: "I went to the Jiedao, got placed in long-term rental housing; you say, regarding Wan Ling's matter, could I not help…?"

"As a result, I was driven out again."

Translation: "As a result, I was chased away again……"

"Later I went to the agricultural machinery plant that was shutting down; the outcome was, once, twice…"

Translation: "Later I also went to the agricultural machinery factory that was about to close; the result, once, twice……"

"Even my departure was involuntary."

Translation: "Even leaving, I was forced."

"I can't find stability, and you're drifting along with me."

Translation: "I can't settle down, and you drift along with me……"

Chen Hong tilted her head, her voice sounding a bit aggrieved.

"Did you never love me?"

Yang Qing's scalp tingled once again……

Is the sentimental woman finally going to discuss love with herself?

Yang Qing doesn't believe this thing……

He's just an ordinary person; he can't afford this thing, it's too precious—so precious that it can only be admired from afar……

Once love lands, it turns into a mess of chicken feathers……

If you ask me whether I believe in love.

I would say I do.

If you ask me whether I've loved.

I would say I have……

If you ask whether we should have a……

I would say a wise person doesn't wade into the river of love.

He thinks that in his heart, but Yang Qing can't say it like that.

"What is love?"

"Back then, with our ugly looks, you didn't despise me, I didn't despise you— isn't that enough love?"

"Now we've both become old and withered; you don't disgust me, I don't disgust you— isn't that love?"

"Originally, I planned to spend a simple life with you for a lifetime."

"When we grow old, we just drift like this."

Chen Hong thought for a moment, then grabbed Yang Qing's hand.

"Say, you love me."

Yang Qing didn't hesitate; he turned over and gave her a deep kiss.

"My dear, I love you, love you to death, it's utterly unstoppable."

Then, holding Chen Hong, he rushed into the house.

Whatever the menopause, there's no meal that can't solve it.

If one meal doesn't work, have a few more.

Soon, Chen Hong felt Yang Qing's scorching affection.

……

That night, the couple sat in the courtyard again.

But now the two of them sat on a rocking chair.

Chen Hong looked at the brightly lit courtyard, and one after another, silhouettes floated before her eyes.

Laughter, scheming, gossip started again……

Sounds of fighting, curses, and brawls……

When someone stir-fries a meat dish, it can stir up the whole courtyard.

San Da Ye, Er Da Ye, and Yi Da Ye went out, rented a place that opened directly into the courtyard, and started a small nursing home.

They solicited donations from Sha Zhu, Nan Yi, and Da Xiong……

They said they didn't want to trouble their children……

The elderly can also support themselves……

Yang Qing clicked his tongue.

Isn't it just leeching off others?

The shamelessness of the three old men was something he had anticipated.

Mainly because the neighbors all have money now, they care about face.

Otherwise, the conflict between Sha Zhu and Yi Zhonghai—donate money? Donate a fart.

Once they have money, they care about reputation; the three old men calculate very accurately.

Even if you don't want to, you have to grit your teeth and donate.

You must watch the impact.

Once you enter the jianghu, it's as deep as the sea; you can't control yourself.

"Sounds nice, but I'm afraid no one is willing to provide retirement for the kids."

"San Da Ye? He's been scheming all his life; the kids run away faster than anyone."

"Er Da Ye, He Guang Tian has cut off family ties, He Guang Fu is even less to speak of, and the eldest has exhausted familial affection through years of ongoing conflicts."

"Yi Da Ye, need not even mention, Yi Xiaoxiao and Jia Ling are both married; when he goes to someone's home he gets the short end of the stick, who would favor him?"

"They know they're not welcomed, so they came up with this crooked idea."

"Those kids, seeing they no longer cling to them, at least give some money."

"Add Nan Yi and the others, who can't lose face; for the sake of influence, they morally blackmail the money they obtain."

"Maybe it's truly enough for them, but the idealized vision may not materialize."

"When people age, what they need more is companionship, the emptiness of the soul."
