Chapter 453: I don't want to live to be a hundred; do you think I want to be that old turtle?

Good things came one after another, and good luck was also affecting those around them.

Lao Mo decided to marry his partner!

The wedding date was set for the middle of next month, and invitations had been sent to those familiar; those who received the invitations could come to their restaurant to drink and eat when the time came.

The banquet would be held at their restaurant, which saved money and trouble, and could also test the skills of his two apprentices.

Pan Zhi Lan didn't have many people left in her maternal family, so she only invited a few colleagues with whom she had a good relationship.

Lao Mo didn't have many people either, just two elders with whom he had a good relationship.

The rest were his brothers, and Section Commander Duan.

If Zhou Yan were still here, he would definitely have invited Zhou Yan, but it was a pity that the kid hadn't had any news for over a year since he went to Hong Kong.

Not to mention him, in short, the people on the current guest list would be enough to fill the restaurant, and he would treat it as if he had booked the whole place for the day, not opening it to other outsiders to eat.

"Congratulations! Don't worry, I will definitely bring my whole family to support you then."

According to the two's thoughts, this wedding was held quite low-key.

But Jiang Ye and Lao Mo were old friends for many years; a brother was getting married, how could he not go to support him?

Moreover, the time Lao Mo chose was quite good, just on the weekend, so everyone would have time to attend and drink.

Lao Mo sent to this family, then went to send to that family; anyway, everyone who should be invited had to be invited.

He and his wife's wedding room was rented for the time being; they would buy a house when they had the chance in the future.

As for his wife's unit dormitory, because they were getting married, they had to move out, so they had already registered and were living together.

Speaking of living together, his face felt a bit hot.

Not long ago, the two were like dry wood and raging fire, unable to resist stealing the forbidden fruit.

He was a very traditional man; since he had touched his wife's body, he had to be responsible for his wife!

He wouldn't let outsiders gossip about his wife; things like premarital pregnancy were all gossip!

He had already prepared mentally and was ready to welcome marriage.

After a simple proposal, the two registered, but it was legal for a legal couple to live together.

The banquet was a decent one he prepared to make up for his wife; he couldn't just marry his wife without a word and prepare nothing for her.

He couldn't do that kind of sneaky behavior; it was disrespectful!

Shen Man learned about the banquet that Brother Mo and Sister Zhi Lan were going to hold from Ah Ye after coming home from work. She didn't expect Brother Mo, who looked honest and simple, to be able to do something like "getting on the bus first and buying the ticket later."

Suddenly, she thought that most marriages in this era were "marry first, love later," or arranged marriages, or marriages decided by parents before birth, or blind marriages.

Being able to truly meet someone you like and whose values align was such a lucky thing!

"Middle of next month on the weekend, right? Okay, then there's time. What gift should we prepare?"

Shen Man looked and looked at the calendar on the wall, matched it, and felt relieved after finding it was the weekend.

There was no way; after she went back to work, she would have to start making up shifts. She still had to make up three or four big shifts and two or three small shifts to pay off the debt on her body!

It was just that taking leave to travel was fun for a moment, but making up shifts was "fun" all the time!

Heaven knows how much a working person hates changing shifts!

"Let me think, there's still half a month. Let's all think about what to give."

Jiang Ye was also a bit troubled for a moment.

Brother Mo wasn't an outsider; he was a relative as close as a brother. Over the years, he had always taken good care of their couple, and even loved their children as well.

Brother Mo had finally bloomed like an iron tree; as good brothers and relatives, the gift they sent absolutely couldn't be bad; it had to be sent to the brother's heart.

Before, when Brother Zhou got married, he and his wife didn't know the other's wife was that Ji Xianxian, and the gift they sent wasn't light.

With the previous one as a base, they felt the standard for Brother Mo's wedding gift should be raised again.

After all, the relationship between Brother Mo and Brother Zhou was different; compared to Brother Zhou, Brother Mo had really taken care of them over the years.

Section Commander Duan had already retired and was now living in a sanatorium, spending his old age with a group of like-minded old brothers.

His communications officer had been with him for so many years; logically speaking, he should stay by his side until he passed away before being assigned other work instructions.

But he felt he could live for several more decades and couldn't delay the communications officer's future, so he used some privileges to arrange a new position for him.

He had to work in this position for two years, and then there would be an opportunity for promotion. As long as he grasped this opportunity well, his future achievements would definitely not be bad.

Additionally, he refused the new communications officer arranged by the organization.

He didn't need a new communications officer; he could take care of himself now, and in the sanatorium, they ate communal meals, had a professional nursing team, doctors and nurses were on call, and there was a group of old brothers; where was the need for extra care?

Don't treat him like a useless person who couldn't take care of himself, and he didn't want the organization to waste human resources on him.

Just like this, he wanted to be an ordinary old man, recuperating in the cadre rest home, occasionally going out for a stroll or fishing with good brothers, going to find the children when he missed them, and going to find Manman when he wanted to drink fruit wine.

When Lao Mo came to send the invitation, he raised a smiling face and sighed from the bottom of his heart:

"The stinky kid has finally figured it out!"

"I said it, let you look at Ah Ye more; how good it is to have a wife, children, and a warm bed."

"Hehe, Section Commander, don't mock me. I was just talking big before; please don't expose my old background in front of my wife in the future."

Lao Mo felt deep shame; how could he have said that before?

They all said youth was frivolous; he was already over thirty at that time, how could he have dared?

It was all dark history; bringing it up was just a slap in the face!

"Fine, fine, fine. For your wife's sake, I won't expose your old background."

"You and your wife are also destined. Live well in the future, have children early, and while I still have strength, I can help you look at the baby. When I get older, I'll be old and useless, and no one will listen to what I say."

Section Commander Duan spoke with a hidden meaning. If Lao Mo's son wanted to join the army, he would help put in a good word then, or let Lao Mo do Ah Ye's ideological work. By then, Ah Ye would be the person with the most weight on this island.

"Got it, got it. You will definitely live to be a hundred."

Lao Mo understood Section Commander Duan's hint and was very moved.

The old leader, who used to insist on not opening the back door, now said that if there was a need, he could help.

It was all because he himself wasn't striving; after that incident back then, he didn't stay, couldn't help the old leader, and instead pushed the burden onto Jiang Ye, who was the youngest...

"I don't want to live to be a hundred; do you think I want to be that old turtle?"

Section Commander Duan laughed out loud. Living to be a hundred, he didn't want that; if he could live to be eighty, that would already be considered a long life.

After the two finished talking about business, they started reminiscing about the past, and laughter came from the room, shaking the birds on the trees outside to fly away... ===== CHAPTER 454 =====
