Just as Father Wang had said, Aunt Wang wasn't an easy character to deal with … It seemed that Aunt Wang had backed down this time because of the ancestral worship ceremony and the couple's presence. Once they went back, Old Man Wang would probably have to continue being bombarded by Aunt Wang's blind dates alone.
Of course, this was all Aunt Wang's wishful thinking … but the root cause of this problem was that most of the villagers were dependent on Old Man Wang. Back then, Old Man Wang had single-handedly led the sea village from poverty to prosperity, which gave the villagers a sense of worship like a big brother. It was also this sense of worship that made the villagers feel the importance of Old Man Wang as a "pillar."
But a pillar would grow old one day.
After leaving the sea village, Father Wang had lived in the city. Although he had bought a suburban villa to settle down in for his writing, he still hadn't given the villagers a sense of security … In fact, Father Wang felt that the sea village's villagers lacked too much self-confidence.
Under Auntie Wang Dongmei's leadership, the development of the sea village in the last two years hadn't slowed down at all.
However, Old Man Wang's existence was like a tranquilizer, giving people a feeling of comfort.
"Auntie Wang, my father has been on the road all day and is very tired. How about we wait until after the ancestral worship?" Father Wang knew that if Wang Dongmei continued to stay here, his father might not even be able to eat dinner. As a veteran, Auntie Wang Dongmei naturally understood Father Wang's intention to send her away.
She took out a booklet from her chest pocket and put it on the table, still smiling. "Uncle Wang, I know you're not in the mood right now, but it doesn't matter! Keep this booklet. Later, if you're interested, you can flip through it. If you find anything you like, take a photo and send it to me, and I'll arrange for a girl to drop by right away. "
"You're going to drop by?" Father Wang asked.
Wang Dongmei: "Of course! Uncle Wang is an honorable person, I can't just let him go by himself, can I? Let me tell you, Uncle Wang is still young! The main thing is that Uncle Wang doesn't want to take youth-retaining pills. Actually, a lot of men are taking them now, so I don't think it's a big deal! Otherwise, if Uncle Wang were to return to his youthful appearance, he would definitely kill a lot of fresh meat! I'll keep one youth-retaining pill for you, Uncle Wang! "
Father Wang and Mother Wang: "…"
Auntie Wang's face was like a peach blossom as she spoke. Before she left, she began to talk non-stop, "Also, Uncle Wang, take a good look at the photos in the booklet. There were also photos of them when they were young. If Uncle Wang takes a fancy to their youthful appearance, I can also contribute my Age-halting Pills to them! "
Father Wang and Mother Wang: "…"
Auntie Wang continued to talk for about five or six minutes before she finally left happily.
Old Man Wang sat in the armchair, paralyzed, as if life had lost its meaning.
He let out an extremely bitter sigh … It was as if he had seen the lousy ending of the eighth season of the Game of Thrones, and his eyes were filled with despair …
"Tsk, Auntie Wang really knows how to make use of every opportunity."
Father Wang complained, then flipped through the matchmaking booklet.
Father Wang's jaw dropped when he saw all the photos.
"F * * k … Auntie Wang's preparations are pretty detailed …" Father Wang was startled.
There were all kinds of styles in this matchmaking booklet! There was even a black girl …
"An outstanding graduate of Mixiu nation's Shrimp Buddha Cultivation Academy, Agaliya Maddi. Majored in the Applied Engineering Department of Spirit Sword and Air Flow Technology, and has a five-star Michelin chef's certificate … even her three measurements …" Father Wang was stupefied. This foreigner's profile could already be described as impeccable … but Father Wang couldn't understand why such an outstanding student would appear in the matchmaking brochure.
"Dad, what do you think this group of people are after? Because you're old, and because you don't bathe? "
“？？？”
Old Man Wang: "That's Su Daqiang! I bathe every day! "
Father Wang teased, "I'm just joking, dad! I've looked at it, the profile is pretty good. Your charm is still as attractive as it was back then … "At this point, Mother Wang also covered her mouth and snickered. Both husband and wife were well aware that Old Man Wang had been known as a Casanova back then.
Old Man Wang: "Ai …"
"Dad, don't sigh."
Father Wang hurriedly grasped Old Man Wang's hand. "You're from Qingxue … bah! The pillar of the sea village! "
Old Man Wang rolled his eyes and then straightened up. "What do you know …"
"Then what do you think about this, dad?" Mother Wang also sat down and asked in a soft voice.
An elderly person's opinion was always the most important.
On the surface, it seemed that Old Man Wang indeed didn't have any desire to find a new partner, but there was a very small chance that it was because of other factors … for example, Old Man Wang himself had some misgivings …
"Dad, if you really want to find a new partner, you actually don't have to worry about me. I've been thinking about finding a stepmother to take care of you for a while, and that's pretty good. To be honest, there are times when I'm worried about you living in the sea village … Ling Ling finally cured your dementia after much difficulty; who knows if you'll get yourself killed playing mahjong with Uncle Wu and the others … those two are very cunning! "Father Wang whispered in Old Man Wang's ear.
"Isn't it because of your mother that I have dementia …" Grandfather Wang rolled his eyes and poked Father Wang's forehead. "You heartless thing, your mother was the best to you when she was alive! You're still thinking about finding me a stepmother … "
"Aiyo." Father Wang pretended to cry out in pain, and then laughed. "Of course I know how good my mother was to me, so I've never been absent from the ancestral worship every year. Of course, I also know how you feel about her … but the problem is that there are so many people staring at you now. If you really don't want to, it's best if you give them a quick death so they won't have any more thoughts. "
There was a hint of melancholy on Old Man Wang's face. "Sometimes, people only understand how precious something is when it's gone. To be honest, when your mother was still around, she always despised me, blamed me, and nagged at me …
"Now that she's gone, my heart feels empty.
"Her voice keeps ringing in my ears."
"I can't forget her, and I can't let her go …
"I've also thought about finding someone to keep me company, but I always feel that your mother's soul is still by my side, as if she hasn't left …"
Father Wang felt tears welling up in his eyes.
But he didn't want the atmosphere to be too heavy, so he wiped his tears and forced a smile. "Are you saying that my mother's soul lingers on?"
Old Man Wang rolled his eyes again.
But this time.
There was a "pa" sound, and the crisp sound of a slap suddenly rang out in the air …
The surroundings fell into silence ….
There was a five-fingered handprint on the left side of Father Wang's face.
This familiar touch …
Father Wang broke out in a cold sweat on the spot. "Holy shit! Mom! You're really here! Mom! If you're here, please hit me again, mom! "
Pa!
Then, there was another handprint on the right side of Father Wang's face.
And then, there was nothing else …
Old Man Wang hugged Father Wang, father and son shivering in their chairs …
Father Wang now finally understood why Old Man Wang was so resistant to finding a wife …
This was a man.
The most genuine desire to live …
