A quaint and quiet town, in an ordinary flat-story house.
"Dad, why did you come back from the company so early?" Chen Xiaoming looked at his father who walked in from the door, a little puzzled.

Old Man Chen sighed and slowly sat down on the sofa, looking a little tired: "It's not too early, I haven't entered the company much today." I really felt that my body bones couldn't hold it anymore, so I came back early to rest. "
Hearing his father's words, Chen Xiaoming couldn't help frowning: "At your age, you still insist on going to work, it's really undeserved." How many times have I told you that you are 60 years old and you should rest at home and enjoy your blessings. "
Old Man Chen smiled helplessly: "Child, you also know that our generation always seizes the time to work and make money. But you're right, I really can't hold it anymore. "
As he spoke, a look of relief appeared on Old Man Chen's vicissitudes of life.
"Either you can rest at home, and it's time to stop and take care of yourself." Chen Xiaoming saw his father like this, and hurriedly persuaded him.
"That's just as well. At my age, no matter how hard I work, it's nothing more than making more money. But when it really comes to need, I can't spend it all. It's better to take good care of your body and enjoy life. Old Man Chen nodded, and there was a little more relief in his tone.
When Chen Xiaoming heard this, he couldn't help but feel relieved. Although my father has been working hard all his life and only wants to make money with his own hands, he finally understands that he should think about himself.
Old man Chen, who has always been industrious and thrifty, seems to have let go of the obsession in his heart at this moment under Chen Xiaoming's persuasion.
At this moment, as if he remembered something, Old Man Chen suddenly said to Chen Xiaoming: "By the way, I went to the bank to do some business this afternoon."
"What are you doing?" Chen Xiaoming asked curiously.
"I transferred most of the savings I had saved to your name." Old Man Chen replied calmly.
"Huh? Under my name?" Chen Xiaoming's eyes widened in surprise, "Dad, this is the money you have saved hard over the years, why did you transfer it all to me?"
"You know, that's enough money for our old couple to live on for many years. I don't want to be like I used to be running around every day to make money. Old Man Chen grabbed his hair, "I just want to rest at home now, do whatever I want, and no longer be bound by work and money." Since I have all this money, I don't have to go to work to earn money. "
Chen Xiaoming listened to his father's words and was immediately moved. He never imagined that his father, who had always been rigid and conservative, would have such thoughts.
"Dad, what's next for you?" Chen Xiaoming asked with concern.
"Well, I'm going to rest at home for a few years." Old Man Chen's eyes softened, "When I was young, I always wanted to see the mountains and rivers of the motherland, but I was always busy with work and never had the opportunity. Now that I finally have time, I'm ready to start traveling around. "
"Great! Dad, you can finally make your dreams come true. Chen Xiaoming said with relief, "You stay at home and take good care of your body." When you come back, we will go on a long journey together as a family to see the wider world. "
Old Man Chen smiled and nodded, "Yes, the most important thing for me now is to take care of my body." As I get older, I still feel a little tired occasionally. But as long as I don't go to work again, I think I'll be able to recover. "
"You're right, health is the most precious thing. You just have to rest at home and don't go to work anymore. If you need anything, just let me know and I'll do my best to help. Chen Xiaoming nodded again and again.
Seeing that his son cared so much about him, Old Man Chen patted him on the shoulder with relief, "Child, don't worry too much about me." I'm old, but I'm still a tough guy. As long as I have these savings, I can enjoy life. I want to travel more and spend more time with you children. "
Chen Xiaoming smiled and nodded, "That couldn't be better." You can rest at home, and when you are recuperating, let's go on a trip together. "
Old Man Chen smiled and nodded, "Okay, that's it." Your dad and I have been busy with work all my life, rushing forward. Now it's time to take a break and enjoy life. "
Listening to his father's words, Chen Xiaoming's heart swelled with warmth. He was sincerely happy for his father, and he was also relieved that his father finally understood that it was time to live for himself.
Now, Mr. Chen can finally completely let go of the burden in his heart and calm down and enjoy life. He no longer has to work hard to make money as he used to. Instead, you can make your dreams come true, relax and take good care of your body.
The end chapter of life is often the best. At this stage, Mr. Chen finally understood that life is short, and health is the most precious. He is determined to cherish the second half of his life, take good care of himself, and make his family feel more at ease.
So, for the rest of Mr. Chen's life, he started a new life. He often gets together with Chen Xiaoming's family and travels in the mountains and rivers of the motherland; Occasionally, solo adventures take in distant landscapes. Wherever he goes, he always has a happy smile on his face.
Chen Xiaoming looked at his father's satisfied and peaceful appearance, and felt sincerely gratified. He understands that his father has finally found his own way of life, no longer bound by work and money. At this moment, the father is truly free and easy. The story of Mr. Chen may be a portrayal of many people. They have worked hard all their lives and amassed some wealth. But when it was time to enjoy life, he was so busy with work that he neglected his health. It wasn't until the body gradually abandoned them that it suddenly realized that the value of life was more than just money.
It can be said that the awakening of Old Man Chen also represents the awakening of middle-aged and elderly people. They finally understand that life is short, and they should spend time with their families while they still have energy, realize their dreams, and take good care of their bodies.
For those who are still struggling after the age of 60, you might as well think about your life. Health and happiness should be the most important pursuit in life.
