Married at First Sight Chapter 5288
Ning Yuchen’s twin sons are the eldest and second eldest of the younger generation in the Jun family, only slightly younger than Long Ting. Ning Yuchen is anxious about her two sons’ marriages and has urged them quite a bit.
But to no avail.
Young people’s feelings are something the older generation can’t force.
“I can’t decide Yan Yan’s matter at all; it has to be her own choice. Don’t worry, Yan Yan won’t escape; she’ll definitely be your daughter-in-law.”
“Look how busy she is; she even has to squeeze in time to have a meal with me. How could she have time to change boyfriends? And Ouyang is keeping such a close eye on her; there isn’t even a male mosquito around Yan Yan.”
Mu Qing comforted her friend.
Her precious daughter was definitely going to be Ouyang’s daughter-in-law; she wouldn’t escape.
“Yan Yan said she wants to get married at thirty.”
“Ouyang has waited so many years, a couple more years won’t hurt.”
Lin Xi laughed. “My son dreams of getting married.”
“I understand.”
Mu Qing laughed. “Let’s not concern ourselves with the young people’s affairs. They’re all adults now, they have their own ideas, and they can make their own arrangements. We old folks should just live our own lives.”
“We’re not old at all. I feel like I’m only eighteen. My mindset is eighteen, haha.”
Lin Xi laughed heartily.
The two of them were only in their fifties, not even sixty.
They were very well-maintained, and since they didn’t mention their age, many people thought they were at most forty. No one could tell their real age.
“People live longer these days. We can live to be one hundred and twenty. That’s when we’ll be old bones.”Mu Qing sighed, “Time flies so fast. It feels like I just had a whirlwind marriage with Junbo, and now my children are all grown up, and I’m almost sixty.”
It really does feel like a blink of an eye.
She didn’t even dare to dream of living to 120.
To live to the age of the Zhan family matriarch, surrounded by children and grandchildren, and to pass away peacefully would be the greatest blessing.
Ah, she missed her dearly.
She would never see her again.
“Indeed,” Mu Qing said, “time flies too fast. We should enjoy life. Our children are grown up and capable of taking over. We don’t need to work so hard; let them take over. After retirement, we’ll travel together.”
She added, “I’ll retire after all three of my children are married. These next few years, I’ll help them a little so they can relax.”
If the older generation retires and stops caring about anything, the younger generation will be even busier and more exhausted.
The older generation has been in the business world for decades, possessing experience, authority, connections, and shrewdness. Besides, they’re only in their fifties or sixties. While that age was considered old in the past, it’s not considered old now; they could easily work for another ten or eight years.
Many first-generation entrepreneurs continue working even when the second generation isn’t capable of taking over, some even working into their seventies or eighties.
The younger generation of the Jun family is excellent; there’s no need to worry about them not being able to take over, which is why Mu Qing and the others can say they’ll retire in two years.
Lin Xi laughed, “Of your three children, only Ye Yao is still single. The other two have partners and will retire soon.”
“Let’s urge Ye Yao,”
Mu Qing said. “I can’t. He says he has three older brothers who are still single. If I urge him, he tells me to urge his brother Ting first. I told him Long Ting has Chu Jiu, and he said his two cousins aren’t in a hurry, so why should he?”
