I wasn't used to it when I first came to Shanghai.

Mingyue was very considerate and prepared a piece of land for me, which made me feel at peace.

I can't sit still, but I can't fit in in the Shanghai market. Everyone is so sophisticated, except me.

In order to help me adapt to life in Shanghai, Yue'er signed me up for a tour group and a senior citizen university.

I made a lot of friends and my thoughts became corrupt.

I also followed the example of those wealthy ladies, going to beauty salons for cosmetic treatments and buying beautiful clothes.

I feel guilty about spending money. You know, the money I spend on a shopping trip in the mall now is enough to live in the countryside for three years.

However, every time I swiped the card and spent money, Mingyue and Mingzhu would praise me, saying that I was becoming more and more beautiful and that I knew how to enjoy life.

This is how dignified the mother of the CEO of Chaoxi Media should be.

Mingyue also bought me a lot of jewelry, which I didn’t understand.

When I wore it to school, I received a round of amazement. Then I realized how expensive it was and I didn't dare to wear it anymore.

When Mingyue found out about it, she scared me with a fierce look on her face, and then I wore those jewelry very carefully.

The other classmates were all retired, and they were elegantly spoken and well-mannered. They always thought I was the same age as them, and were surprised to learn that I was less than fifty.

Those older ladies pulled me to get cosmetic surgery, saying that I looked older than them, who were in their 50s and 60s, and that it was not a good idea.

No matter how old a woman is, she should take good care of herself. This is not to please men, but to please herself.

They asked me if I didn't take good care of myself. I honestly told them about my experience of working in the countryside and then going to the county town to support my daughter's education.

They loved me even more and treated me like a younger sister. They praised Mingyue for being sensible and even wanted to introduce her to someone.

I refused. I can't control Mingyue. As long as she is happy, that's all.

Only when I reached this age did I feel truly free. I no longer had to worry about life. I went to class happily every day, played with my old sisters after class, and often went out traveling.

Lao Gu and I met while traveling.

When I saw Lao Gu, I felt particularly close to him. When I asked him, I found out that he also farmed at home. He was a retired professor from the Agricultural University. The more we talked, the more we got along.

I'm not afraid of being laughed at by my old sisters when I say this. Although I have two daughters, I have never been in a relationship in my life.

I had an old sister whose husband died, so she took me out to see the world and have some fun.

When I saw that bunch of young guys who could be my sons, I was so scared that I ran away immediately. God, the sisters in big cities just know how to have fun.

It happened that Lao Gu ran into him.

Lao Gu lives in the house next to ours. He also bought the villa because it came with land. Lao Gu also said he wanted mine because it has the largest vegetable plot.

How could I dare to tell the truth to Lao Gu, so I just laughed it off.

The next day when I went to school, my old sisters scolded me for being timid. I thought I was too timid.

Later, Lao Gu also came to school.

He is a retired professor who has trained many PhDs, but why does he still come to attend the senior citizens' university?

In the words of our Mingzhu, that is called dimensionality reduction attack.

Oh no, I didn’t expect that Lao Gu was coming for me.

How could I know what likes and dislikes mean? Isn't marriage a hell of a pit? You'll get beaten.

But my old sisters all rebelled and kept trying to bring me together.

I also noticed the difference. I thought about what kind of life I lived before. Lao Gu was considerate and gentle and never hit me. He patiently taught me what I didn't understand. He not only learned how to farm, but also how to cook.

I, Wang Fang, have never eaten good food in my life, and yet I’m still having a twilight romance at my old age.

When we first started dating, I was like a thief and didn't dare let my two daughters know.

It was Mr. Gu who took the initiative to confess the truth to his two daughters.

Unexpectedly, my two daughters had no objections at all. Mingyue even gave me a shop and a lot of jewelry as a dowry.

She also asked Lao Gu to hold a wedding for me.

Lao Gu's wife passed away many years ago. His children were very respectful to me and had no objection to holding the wedding.

I didn’t expect that I could still wear a wedding dress and be a bride when I’m so old.

On the wedding day, Mingyue and Chaochao both came.

Old Gu has a high seniority in the Gu family. It was rare for Mingyue to be so childish as to ask a younger member of the Gu family to call her and Chaochao aunt.

Gu Tingshen refused, and Old Gu became unhappy. Gu Tingshen reluctantly called Mingyue and Chaochao "Auntie".

After they shouted, everyone became happy except Gu Tingshen who was not very happy.

After getting married, I have someone who understands me and I feel more comfortable.

In the blink of an eye, Dr. Mingyue graduated, and Mingzhu also graduated from college and got married.

When Mingzhu got married, Mingyue gave her a house, a car and gold as a dowry, and she was very happy.

My old sisters are worried about me. Why doesn’t Mingyue have someone she likes? She is already a grown-up girl at this age and still isn’t married.

But I don't care at all. I have enjoyed the blessing of my children and grandchildren, and my current situation is all thanks to my daughter's hard work.

Is marriage a good thing?

Don’t I know how I have lived for decades, how Wang Xier has lived, and how most women have lived?

I am lucky to have met Mr. Gu. My choice to get married does not mean that marriage is a good thing, nor does it mean that I will force my daughters to get married.

I am happy that Mingzhu is married and has a child. I am also happy that Mingyue is not married and acts like a child like Chaochao every day.

There is no defined trajectory in life.

What's more, Mingyue's assets are enough for her to spend in eight lifetimes, and she is still earning money. I don't want to worry about what she will do in her old age without children.

Mingyue, I made a few guesses. According to what we learned in college, it might be that her parents’ unhappy marriage when she was a child caused her psychological trauma.

But Chao Chao doesn't want to date or get married.

I asked Chaochao, and Chaochao told me very frankly that it’s not that there are no men pursuing her, but the treatment she received from others was not as good as the treatment Mingyue showed her. Why should she endure such hardship?

I think it makes sense. Anyway, her mother is not in a hurry, so I won't be in a hurry either, because I know how much Mingyue cares about this friend.

Until I died of old age and had a large house with many children and grandchildren, I still didn't see Mingyue and Chaochao get married.

But what does it mean?

My children and grandchildren have their own blessings. I just hope they are all happy.
