Chapter 2618 Encounter
At the Guancheng Hotel, Zhou Yang met his aunt and uncle.
"Auntie."
Zhou Yang saw Hai Tong and her husband first.
He called out to Haitong.
The couple stopped, turned around, and saw Yangyang. Haitong smiled and asked, "Yangyang, meeting a client?"
"Yes, I arranged to meet a client here, and I'm treating them to dinner while I'm at it."
Zhou Yang approached and then addressed Zhan Yin as "Uncle".
When did you return to Dongguan?
Zhan Yin asked.
Hai Tong immediately said to him, "The day Bei Bei went to her sixth uncle's house, Yang Yang went back to Dongguan. Didn't I tell you that?"
Zhan Yin smiled and said, "I forgot."
All he remembered was that his daughter had gone to his brother's place.
"You're back. Come over for dinner whenever you have time. Everyone's been talking about you."
Zhan Yin said.
Zhou Yang's smile is as warm as a spring breeze. In the eyes of those who know him well, this child has been a warm-hearted boy since childhood, and as he grew up, he became even more gentle and refined, a true gentleman.
“I was thinking of going to my aunt’s house for a couple of days this weekend so I can have a couple of nice meals. I’m eating out every day now, or ordering takeout. I really miss my uncle’s cooking.”
“Great! You can go there this weekend and stay for two days. Your uncle will cook you delicious food. It’s perfect timing, baby can also go back to the resort this weekend.”
Zhan Yin readily agreed.
Okay. Has the baby been busy lately?
"He's busy. If he weren't busy, how could your aunt and I eat together?"
Zhan Yin said matter-of-factly, "He's capable of taking over now, so I've entrusted him with many things. I just supervise him a bit, so I don't have to worry about him too much. It's great that my son has grown up and is capable."
They can retire early and don't have to work until they're seventy or eighty.
Zhou Yang laughed and said, "Uncle, the baby has cried himself unconscious in the toilet."
The three of them went into the hotel together.
"My uncle is still so young, he doesn't need to retire so early."
“I’m not young anymore. Your auntie calls me an old man. It’s time to retire. The future belongs to you young people. Your auntie and I plan to travel around the world after we retire. We didn’t have that much time when we were young.”
“Now that we’re retired, time is our own. We can go wherever we want, so we won’t be too old and frail to move around. By then, your aunt and I will probably be grandparents and have to take care of our grandchildren.”
Hai Tong said with a laugh, "When we're in our seventies or eighties, our grandchildren should be teenagers by then. Will we still need you to take care of them?"
Zhan Yin laughed, "Don't keep picking on what I say."
She then said to Yangyang, "Look at your aunt, she's always finding fault with me."
Zhou Yang said, "We have a nanny at home, so your aunt and uncle don't need to take care of the child. Does the baby have someone he likes?"
"No, do you know any nice girls? I can introduce them to your cousin."
Zhan Yin said casually.
Hai Tong said to him, "Yangyang doesn't even have a girlfriend himself, how can you introduce a girlfriend to your son? The baby is still young, there's no rush."
"I'll have to think about it in two or three years. If I find someone I like sooner, I can date for a few years before getting married."
Zhan Yin still hopes his son can start dating now.
"I don't really know any good girls. I'm usually focused on work and haven't paid attention. The baby is still young, no need to rush. Even my older cousin is still single."
Hai Tong said to him, "You brought it up yourself, so your auntie just said a few words to you. You're over thirty, it's time to think about important life events. Don't think that just because we don't urge you, you won't look for someone."
"Auntie, I understand. If I meet someone I like, I'll date, get married, and have kids. Don't worry, you'll be my great-aunt one day."
“My grandparents came to my company after they found out I was back and told me about this. You said you wouldn’t pressure me, but you still brought it up when you met, which is equivalent to pressuring me to get married.”
As people grow older, they have more worries.
Childhood was the best.
Yangyang couldn't help but reminisce about the happiness of his childhood. Back then, he was the darling of the adults, and everyone doted on him. He didn't have to worry about anything; all he needed to do was be happy.
The only hardship I've ever experienced in my life is the hardship of studying.
The hardship of studying was considered mild compared to others. His grades were always excellent; he consistently ranked first in every exam and never came in second. He had no idea what it felt like to be second.
Oh, he has endured the hardships of training. He started learning kung fu when he was just a few years old and has persisted until now. He still practices kung fu in his spare time, but despite his more than 20 years of practice, his kung fu skills are really just average.
He could easily take on several ordinary thugs by himself.
If he encounters a skilled fighter, he can handle one, but two would be very difficult, and he would have to suffer some injuries to barely win.
If there are three people, he's bound to lose.
In this respect, he is not as good as Long Ting.
Yangyang's kung fu skills aren't great, so he always travels with bodyguards, just like his uncle did when he was young. He had a bodyguard team to protect himself and keep his admirers away.
However, Yangyang doesn't like bodyguards following him all the time. He usually lets them follow him secretly, and they only show themselves when someone tries to get close to him.
"Okay, okay, we won't rush you, but you need to hurry up, your aunt is waiting to become a great-aunt."
“Auntie, now that you’re a great-aunt, you’re of a higher generation and you’re getting old.”
Yangyang said it on purpose.
Haitong laughed, "My aunt is already old, and I'm not afraid of looking old because of my seniority. My aunt is someone who accepts getting old. Look, my aunt has some gray hair, but I haven't dyed it black. It's natural. I'll let nature take its course. Everyone gets old."
In fact, Hai Tong looks no different from she did more than ten years ago; she has maintained her appearance extremely well.
However, she did have a few gray hairs, but they were not obvious and could not be seen unless you looked closely.
She herself didn't know she had gray hair. After washing her hair, Zhan Yin helped her blow-dry it and told her. Zhan Yin offered to pluck it out for her, but she refused. Her children were all in their twenties, so what was so strange about her starting to grow gray hair?
I'm considered a late bloomer when it comes to gray hair. Many people get gray hair in their early forties, and some have it due to family genetics, while others get it much earlier.
In a few years, she will turn sixty, and sixty is considered old age.
Hai Tong accepts her age and acknowledges it, even though she takes excellent care of herself; it's a fact that her energy is not what it used to be.
Zhou Yang instinctively looked at his aunt's head. "I didn't see any gray hairs on your aunt's head. She's still very young. I said that just now in the hope that she wouldn't pressure you to get married or have children."
Haitong knew that her nephew didn't mean she was old.
But she's really getting old; she's in her fifties now.
She still has a very young mindset, always feeling like she's only eighteen. In the blink of an eye, her children are already in their mid-twenties. It feels like she and Zhan Yin only had a whirlwind marriage a few years ago, but the couple has already been together for nearly thirty years.
She was 25 when she got married in a whirlwind romance, became pregnant a year later, and gave birth to her son at 27. Now her son is almost 27 years old, and she is over 54. In another six years, she will truly be joining the ranks of the elderly.
Zhan Yin was five years older than her and would soon be sixty.
She sometimes called him "old man".
