Li Weiguo was at a loss for words and instinctively looked towards Han Yu.

Seeing everyone look at him, Han Yu had no choice but to ask with a flattering smile, "Master's wife, what do you think about Director Ge?"

"What do you mean by 'what do I think'?" Sister Wei was completely clueless.

After hesitating for a moment, Han Yu said, "Before the master passed, he mentioned that he didn't want to see you go through life alone."

Sister Wei suddenly realized what was being discussed and covered her mouth reflexively.

Xu Haoran didn't know how to broach the subject and simply pulled on his wife's arm.

Lin Xiaoqin, holding onto her mother-in-law's arm, smiled and said, "Mom, I think Director Ge is a pretty good person."

"What are you joking about? We're already so old, you might not be afraid of others laughing, but I am!" Sister Wei pushed away the bride impatiently and muttered, "Besides, I have you all, I'm not really all alone and helpless."

"Mom, we are us, it's not the same."

"What's not the same about it? Stop talking, I want to take a nap."

The Master's wife's face turned red, indicating she was embarrassed.

Han Yu didn't want to drag things out since he needed to go across the river later to help the city leaders with invitations, so he smiled and said, "Master's wife, if you don't think Director Ge is suitable, we can look for someone else. Chairman Li has arranged everything; one per day, we'll definitely find someone suitable."

"One per day, what are you doing!"

"It's getting cold, you need someone to help warm your feet."

"I have an electric blanket and Yan Yang has central heating; I don't need anyone to warm my feet."

"Chairman Li has arranged everything, let's meet him first."

"Stop making trouble, you all go ahead, I'm going to sleep."

The Master's wife's neck turned red!

Han Yu thought there was a chance and pressed on while the iron was hot, "Master's wife, what era are we in now? Nowadays, finding a companion is nothing laughable. The wife of Director Liu from Four Factory Cultural Station passed away, and he's already found a partner."

Li Weiguo knew very well that Sister Wei couldn't get past the psychological barrier, and opportunistically said, "Lu Fang from your old unit also found a partner, marrying an accountant from Red Star Team. They not only proudly went to the Civil Affairs Bureau for the marriage certificate but also held over ten tables for the wedding feast."

"People are people, and I am me," Sister Wei muttered with her head down, but from her tone, it was clear her stance had softened a bit.

Mrs. Han also felt there was a chance and took Sister Wei's hand, persuading, "Gui Feng, most people are worried about their children objecting when they want to find a partner, but you're so fortunate. Haoran and Xiao Qin not only support you but also encourage it. Director Ge's son and daughter-in-law support it too. I think you can start getting to know him."

"Get to know what? I'm almost fifty."

"So what if you're almost fifty? People even older at sixty-seventy still find partners."

"I'm different from them."

"How are you different?"

Sister Wei didn't know how to respond right away and blurted out without thinking, "I need to take care of Chenchen."

That was the very response Lin Xiaoqin was waiting for, and she couldn't help but smile, "Mom, don't worry about Chenchen. My mother's unit is not doing well and will soon offer an early retirement package, so she'll have plenty of time to look after Chenchen."

"I can't bear to leave Chenchen behind."

"If you miss Chenchen, you can always come back to visit Yan Yang."

Lin Xiaoqin once again took her mother-in-law's arm, whispering, "Mom, different places nourish different people. Actually, I've always known you're not used to the climate in Yan Yang. Going back to your hometown is better for your health. If you have a partner back home, plus Brother Xu and Salted Fish to help out, Haoran and I will also be at ease."

Unfamiliar with life in Yan Yang, without her grandson, it would indeed feel lonely.

The climate in Yan Yang isn't great either. The outside is freezing in winter, and though it has heating indoors, it's too hot and dry for someone from the south. The summer is unbearably hot, and there's practically no spring or autumn. The climate really isn't as good as in Linghai.

Sister Wei wanted to say something but didn't know how to start.

Looking at his watch, Han Yu decided to go for broke, "Master's wife, when the master was alive, did he ever care about what others thought of him? Everyone else isn't afraid, what's there for us to fear!"

Han Xiangning, holding Sister Wei's right arm, smiled and said, "Master's wife, in this aspect, San'er has learned well and is proud of being a reverse bride up to this day. Moreover, middle-aged and elderly people have the same right to pursue happiness. Don't worry, we're not afraid of being laughed at."

"You might not be afraid, but I am."

"If we are not afraid, you should be even less so."

"Ningning, Xiao Qin, can't you let me sleep for a while?"

"No, you have to give us a straight answer first," said Han Xiangning, snuggling up to her and coquettishly like a little girl.

Sister Wei never thought that she would be nearly fifty and experiencing the day when the younger generation would pressure her into marriage. She didn't know whether to cry or laugh as she said, "For such a big decision, you all have to let me think it over by myself, right?"

Thinking it over by herself indicated she wasn't opposed to finding a partner, just that she had many concerns.

Overjoyed, Han Xiangning shook her arm and said, "Sure, but I really think Director Ge is a great match and is genuinely interested in you. Otherwise, he wouldn't have moved to Bailong Port, much less spend over 20,000 on a large scooter."

"That large scooter cost over 20,000?"

"Zhu Feng 125, it's the best scooter! He knows you have a driver's license, knows that you like to ride scooters. It can be said he bought it especially for you."

Sister Wei was somewhat touched and blushed, muttering, "He's already of such an age and yet isn't afraid of being laughed at."

Ningning giggled and said, "Old companion, old companion; companionship in old age. To find a beautiful and virtuous partner like you, Master's wife, it's right that he spends a bit of money!"

"What beautiful, I'm already an old granny."

"Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, plus, Master's wife, you are indeed beautiful."

"Now you're talking nonsense. Go out and let me have some quiet time."

"Alright, we'll leave now."

...

Stepping out of the single dormitory specially prepared for Sister Wei, everyone exchanged knowing smiles.
