Shen Yi said, "I noticed your mom seemed a little down about letting the noodle shop go."
Qin Jiao said, "She's just sentimental about it; after all, she built it up bit by bit. But we didn't sell it, we just rented it out. If my parents want to run a small noodle shop again in a few years, they can go back and do it. Oh, and about the courtyard house—even though we're not living there for now, we'll have someone go maintain and repair it every so often. When we both retire, we can spend our golden years there."
Shen Yi smiled. "You're still so young. Why are you already thinking about retirement?"
"I don't plan on working until I'm sixty. Once I've worked hard enough, I'm planning to start my retirement at forty. By then, our child should be grown up and able to take responsibility for their own life."
Shen Yi nodded. "Mm, when that time comes, we can travel the world and just enjoy life."
