Chapter 757: Tell the Truth!
Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“After dinner, having a smoke feels heavenly. Ever since we landed, your Third Aunt has been reminding me not to smoke because Xiao Li is pregnant. I managed to resist all morning today, but it was quite uncomfortable!”
At this moment, Third Uncle was sitting on the sofa in the backyard with Zhou Chao and Lin Wu, leisurely smoking cigarettes.
A smile appeared on Zhou Chao’s face as he knew his uncle had been a heavy smoker for decades, easily going through one or two packs a day. Asking him not to smoke was like asking Zhou Chao to eat only one dish every day, making life dull!
Taking advantage of the time when Jiang Li took Third Aunt out for a walk, Third Uncle also managed to smoke several cigarettes.
Seeing his uncle relaxing, Zhou Chao’s eyes lit up as he said, “Uncle, why don’t you and Third Aunt move to Jingdu to live? I’ll arrange everything for you. This way, it’ll be closer, and Third Aunt can come to visit Xiao Li more often!”
Hearing this, Third Uncle stop smoking, and a hint of hesitation flickered in his eyes. After a brief silence, he said, “Zhou Chao, I understand your intentions, but Third Aunt and I are not young anymore. We don’t want to move around. Besides, all our relatives and friends are in Fuzhou, and life there is more relaxed and comfortable!”
Zhou Chao also understood that his uncle and aunt had spent half their lives in Fuzhou, and they were not young anymore. They didn’t want to leave their hometown.
Although Jingdu was indeed much better than Fuzhou, they didn’t know anyone here. It wouldn’t be enjoyable to come to Jingdu and just stay at home.
People, when they reach a certain age, tend to be nostalgic, especially those of his uncle and aunt’s age!
“How about this? I’ll buy a house nearby for you. Whenever you want to come over to play or when Guo Yan graduates, you can come to live in Jingdu directly. This way, it’ll be much more convenient!”
Just as Third Uncle was about to refuse, a voice came from not far behind him, “What are you guys talking about?”
