Parents' Love: My Childhood Sweethearts with Jiang Weidong

Every now and then, Lin Wangshu and Jiang Weidong would visit An Jie and Jiang Defu and have a meal with them.

Anjie was also happy. When it was just her and Jiang Defu at home, she would usually just make do with whatever was available.

But as soon as they arrive, Anjie will go to the market early to buy chicken, duck, fish and meat to cook a sumptuous meal.

This caused Jiang Defu to often complain that An Jie didn't value him and that he could only eat leftovers.

This time, when Lin Wangshu entered the room, she found the table covered in green, filled with leafy green vegetables.

She put down her bag and joked with Anjie, "Mom, you've been praying to Buddha lately, haven't you? Why haven't you seen any meat or fish? Has Dad complained?"

Anjie sighed, "This is what your dad asked for. He said it's for healthy eating, it's good for your health."

Upon hearing this, Lin Wangshu and Jiang Weidong exchanged a glance, both somewhat incredulous.

When Jiang Defu was diagnosed with coronary heart disease, An Jie wouldn't let him eat meat, and he grumbled about it behind his back. Now, why is he asking to eat vegetarian food?

Jiang Weidong looked around but didn't see Jiang Defu, so he asked An Jie, "Where's my dad? Did he go play chess with my uncle again?"

“No.” Anjie waved her hand. “He went for a walk to exercise.”

Jiang Weidong was genuinely worried now. He frowned and asked An Jie, "Mom, tell me the truth, is there something wrong with Dad's health?"

Lin Wangshu also looked worried. "Yes, you can't keep this from us."

“Your dad is perfectly fine, there’s nothing wrong with him at all!” Anjie quickly denied it, afraid they would worry.

She hesitated for a moment before saying, "This is Chief of Staff Chen from the retirement home. He fell a few days ago and died in the ambulance before he even got to the hospital."

"After your dad found out, he's now very careful about everything. Sigh, as people get older, your dad is terrified."

Lin Wangshu and Jiang Weidong fell silent. Birth, aging, sickness, and death are inevitable for even the bravest person.

Looking at the vegetables on the table, Lin Wangshu frowned and said, "But it's not good for you to keep eating like this. Your bodies will become malnourished."

Anjie didn't care. "Your dad is just feeling anxious right now. I'll stay with him for a few days and he'll be fine."

"How about this, I'll take you and my dad for a full body checkup. That way, when the results come out, my dad will feel at ease and be able to eat properly."

Lin Wangshu was worried that Jiang Defu might overthink things and end up making himself sick, so she decided to take them for a check-up.

When Jiang Defu found out, he was very happy. "Okay, it's good to get checked out. Let's invite your aunt and uncle too, and go for a check-up together."

On the way to the hospital, Old Ding was still somewhat disdainful, saying, "I'm perfectly healthy and don't need a physical exam. You should give your dad a proper check-up. I'm not as afraid of dying as he is."

Jiang Defu, unusually, didn't argue with him. He just snorted and turned his head to look at the scenery outside the window.

Dehua patted him on the shoulder and said, "Why are you biting the hand that feeds you? You don't appreciate kindness. The kid is worried about your health, so what's wrong with getting you checked out?"

Old Ding pursed his lips and remained silent.

After the test results came out, none of them had any major problems, except for Jiang Defu, who still had his old problem of high blood pressure.

Old Ding, on the other hand, suffers from constipation. He is very concerned about his image, and when the doctor pointed it out, he became angry and said, "What kind of illness is this? I can just spend more time in the toilet every day."

The doctor frowned upon hearing this and said seriously, "Although this is not a serious illness, it cannot be ignored. Countless elderly people die from constipation every year. You can't take it lightly."

Old Ding never expected that constipation could be fatal. His heart skipped a beat, and he became somewhat frightened. Therefore, although he pretended not to care, he silently remembered the doctor's instructions.

Lin Wangshu knew that Lao Ding died from constipation in the TV series, so she pulled Dehua aside and instructed her, "Aunt, you have to keep a close eye on my uncle from now on."

"Make him eat more fruits and vegetables, exercise more, and always keep glycerin suppositories in the toilet."

Dehua's heart pounded as he listened, and he quickly nodded, "Don't worry, I'll definitely keep an eye on him."

Actually, Lao Ding cherishes his life very much. Without Dehua's supervision, he strictly follows the doctor's instructions.

Despite his inactivity, he would carry a sword every day and go to the square with Jiang Defu and An Jie to practice swordsmanship.

Ge Meixia found it strange and asked An Jie, "Isn't Old Ding supposed to be lazy? What's wrong with him?"

"Isn't it all because of Old Chen? He's terrified." An Jie shook his head and sighed.

Ge Meixia sighed, "That's right, a perfectly healthy person, just gone like that."

"Oh, right." Ge Meixia seemed to have thought of something and asked An Jie mysteriously, "Old Chen was cremated a few days ago. Do you know how much his son paid for the burial plot?"

Anjie smiled dismissively, "How much can a cemetery plot cost? It can't be more expensive than a house, can it?"

"One hundred thousand!" Ge Meixia held up one finger and said earnestly to An Jie.

"What?" Anjie was startled. "This is almost as expensive as a house! It's way too pricey!"

“That’s right.” Ge Meixia clicked her tongue in amazement. “This is still the cheap one. I heard it will get more and more expensive in the future. Old Wang and I have discussed it and plan to buy it in advance to prepare.”

An Jie returned home in a daze and told Jiang Defu about it. He was also shocked and couldn't help but curse, "These capitalists, they even make money off the dead!"

An Jie hesitated and said, "Why don't we do what Ge Meixia and the others did and buy one in advance to have on hand?"

Jiang Defu nodded, "That's fine, otherwise my retirement pension might not even be enough to buy one yuan in the future."

When Yafei learned that the two wanted to buy a burial plot, she strongly objected, "What are you doing? The person is still alive and well, buying this is so unlucky!"

Zheng Jianhua noticed their unease and went home to persuade Yafei to think about them. He suggested that as long as the elderly could feel at ease, they should buy the items in advance.

He was a businessman. After Yafei nodded, Zheng Jianhua asked people to look for a beautiful place with clear water and lush mountains to buy a good burial plot.

When Lao Ding found out, he also thought about buying one for him and Dehua, and it would be best if they could buy one together with Jiang Defu and the others.

When Jiang Defu found out, he chuckled and snorted, "What, old buddy, you didn't argue with me enough while we were alive, and now you're going to keep arguing with me even in the afterlife?"

Old Ding nodded, "Yes, I was thinking of playing a couple more rounds with you then."

"Isn't that easy? I can just call Xiao Zheng."

Zheng Jianhua acted quickly, even personally leading the four of them to take a look. Seeing that they were all satisfied, he readily took out his pocket and paid.

Unexpectedly, after Da Yang and Er Yang found out, they immediately called Lao Ding and said, "Dad, my mom is your first wife!"
