Making a living in Dongguan, her fiery red lips offer me tenderness.

"Old Tan, Yan'er is 40 years old. I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing for her to find a young man in his twenties. But I do have an idea."

"What idea?"

"Let them be together first, but don't get married. We'll see how things go after they have a child. If it's a son, then everything will be fine."

"Sigh, honey, don't let our daughter's age fool you. She's still not very bright in this area. She's never dated anyone except Xiao Gao. She's still very conservative. If we don't get married, will they even sleep together?"

"She told me yesterday that this guy claimed to be a virgin, which means he's all looks and no brains, and he has no experience in that area. He's still a virgin. When will they be able to sleep together?"

"Old Tan, it's alright. I'll talk to Yan'er later. It's easy for a woman to pursue a man. This young man isn't stupid. Boys don't have much self-control in this area. With a little guidance, it'll all fall into place naturally, won't it?"

"Damn it, wife, we have to find a way to get him out of here. He can't stay in Chang'an anymore. We need to make them live together. Ideally, we should get him to go to Shenzhen."

"Will he listen to us?"

"Simple. Just let him handle the cement and sand at that construction site in Nanshan. There's no reason for him to turn down money, right?"

"I'll arrange it!"

"That's fine too!"

When Mr. and Mrs. Tan returned to Shenzhen, Mrs. Tan called her daughter.

"Hey, Yan'er!"

"Mom, what's wrong?"

"Yan'er, don't eat lunch at the company. Come home for lunch. Mom has something to tell you."

"What's wrong?"

"It's hard to explain over the phone, please come back."

"All right!"

About an hour later, Tan Yan returned home.

"Dad, Mom, what's wrong?"

Aunt Tan said, "Yan'er, come to the study with me, I have something to tell you."

"oh!"

I went to the study on the second floor and closed the door.

"Mom, what's wrong? You're being so secretive."

"Yan'er, your father and I just went to Chang'an and saw that young man. His name is Ding Yang, right?"

"Oh...why are you going to see him? Dad has trouble walking, are you taking him with you?"

"You're looking for a boyfriend, how could your dad and I not care? We have to meet him to see what he looks like, right?"

"Mom, what are you going to talk to him about?"

"We didn't talk much, just exchanged a few words, and I bought two bags of cement, which are still in the trunk of the car."

"You're really just looking for trouble!"

"Yan'er, I have to say, this young man is indeed very handsome, exuding masculinity. It's just a pity that he's too young."

"Mom, this is too abrupt. I've only met him twice."

"Please sit down!"

"Let me tell you, your father and I aren't old-fashioned. I'm so glad you've moved on from Xiao Gao's shadow, and I support you in dating again, even though this guy is way too young for you. It's really not a good match."

"But now that you're getting on in years, it's really hard to find someone suitable. This young man wanted to take a shortcut, but we granted his wish. It's just money, that's not a problem."

"Mom, what do you mean?"

"Yan'er, we hope you can have a child as soon as possible and stop wasting time. At 40, you are already considered an elderly mother. If you delay any longer, it will become increasingly difficult to get pregnant, and even if you do have a child, the risks will be extremely high."

"You may not know this, but your dad has been very sad these past few days."

"What's wrong?"

"Your second uncle called, and from the tone of his voice, he wants to adopt Tan Zhi. Tan Zhi is already 30 years old. Isn't this obviously an attempt to seize our family's property? Although we've lost our son, we still have a daughter. They're trying to take advantage of a child who has no descendants!"

"So your father was very sad and refused outright."

"Yan'er, do you like this young man?"

"mom……"

"Don't be shy, you're 40 years old. Just tell the truth. What's there to be shy about in front of your mother?"

"Mom, actually I talked to him on the phone for a long time last night, and I do like him a little."

"That's good. Then call him to Shenzhen, and you two should move in together as soon as possible and have a child soon."

"Mom, this little guy is very opinionated. He won't listen to me when I call him over."

"Your dad said he'd handle all the sand for that Nanshan project. Talk to the project manager and tell him to go find Ding Yang. You don't need to show up; he's making money, he won't refuse, right?"

"Actually, you're just clueless. It's easy for a woman to pursue a man. Since he wants to take a shortcut and live off a woman, you should go to him, and he'll cling to you."

"Mom, we've only known each other for a short time?"

"Yan'er, he's only 24. He can afford to waste his time, but you can't."

"You've been a widow for eight years already, do you still want to stay a widow? It breaks my heart to see you like this."

"Mom, I can't possibly go and do that kind of thing with him, can I? Wouldn't that be too embarrassing?"

"How could you be so stupid?"

"Why don't you drive him out for some fun, go somewhere a bit further away for a trip? You can stay in a hotel at night, right? If you think it's inconvenient in Shenzhen, then go to Guangzhou!"

"If you were 10 years younger, Mom wouldn't be in such a hurry."

"If Mom remembers correctly, your period started on the 18th of last month, so you should be ovulating right now."

"Mom, you're going a bit too far. Why are you asking about everything?"

"I'm your mother, what don't I know? There are some things your father can't say, so only your mother can tell you."

"With your dad's health like this, he might suddenly pass away any day. If you have a son, he'll be laughing in his sleep."

"When your father and I die, at least there will be someone to sweep our graves."

"Mom, please don't say anymore, I'll think about it."

"Alright, Mom has said what she needed to say. Let's go down for dinner. Xiao Liu has already prepared the food."

"oh!"

After picking the last stone of sand, Ding Yang was so tired that his legs were shaking. He washed his face and drove back.

I bought a 5-yuan boxed lunch on the way, parked the car on the side of the road, and ate it inside the car.

Ding Yang then went to the Liwu Xingnan New and Used Goods Market.

"Boss, how much for this used air conditioner?"

"1500,"

"Boss, are you kidding me? This is a used one and you're asking 1500? How much are new ones?"

"Handsome, this is a Gree, 1.5 horsepower, produced in 05, almost the same as a new one. This model would cost 2600 a month."

"Is there anything cheaper?"

"Yes, this Midea, 1.5 horsepower single-cooling, 02 model, costs 1000 yuan."

"That's too expensive. Do you include installation?"

"Yes, it can be packaged. It's guaranteed to last for three months."

"Boss, can you give me a discount and install it for me? How much?"

"Handsome, I didn't ask for a price. This compressor is in great condition and hasn't been touched. How about this, I'll install it for you, and you can give me 1000 yuan. The installation fee was originally 100 yuan."

"Could you make it a little cheaper?"
