Rebirth in 1986: Unforgettable Regrets

Chapter 1075: Chapter 1075: Waiting for You to Grow Up

Zhang Hualian placed a chicken drumstick directly into Ding Ling’s bowl, saying, "If you like it, eat more. This time, I made a dozen."

"Thank you, Aunt."

Ding Ling looked satisfied; her favorite was chicken drumsticks, especially the ones made by Zhang Hualian, which suited her taste.

"Aunt Ding, Grandma Zhang makes the crispiest chicken drumsticks." Chenchen’s soft voice rang out. She was biting into a drumstick, her small mouth gleaming with oil. She said, "Grandma, can you make crispy chicken drumsticks next time?"

"Sure, I’ll make them for you next time."

With a smile, Zhang Hualian wiped Chenchen’s mouth, saying, "Eat slowly, no one is competing with you."

At the dinner table, laughter filled the air, and Tang Yue’s heart felt warm and soft.

"Mom, you’re not leaving, are you?"

Before bed, Chenchen clutched Tang Yue’s hand, looking expectant.

"I’m not leaving. Tomorrow I’ll take you and your brother to school, okay?" Tang Yue kissed Chenchen’s sweet face, making Chenchen giggle. She laughed sweetly, saying, "Alright, I like it when Mom takes us."

"Go to sleep now."

Tang Yue gently patted Chenchen and tucked Zaozao in, about to leave when Zaozao said, "Mom, when I grow up, I’ll protect you and won’t let anyone bully you."

Though Zaozao was young, he spoke earnestly, and those dark eyes were full of determination.

Tang Yue was taken aback, thinking Zaozao must have heard something. Instead of laughing at him, she replied seriously, "Alright, I’ll wait for our little man to grow up."

"I’ll eat more."

Zaozao added, and Chenchen sat up suddenly, unwilling to be outdone, saying, "Mom, when I grow up, I’ll protect you too. My fists are strong."

Chenchen waved her small fist in the air.

"Pfft~" Tang Yue looked at her two children, her heart soft as water. She said, "Good, I’ll wait for you both to grow up."

"For now, go to sleep quickly so you can grow tall."

Tang Yue pushed Chenchen back into bed, insisting they sleep early. Returning to her room, she couldn’t hide the smile on her lips, feeling proud, feeling proud, feeling happy!

Her two children already knew how to care for their mother.

"Honey." Si Yu embraced her, his dark eyes watching her, seemingly asking: Why are you so happy?

"Si Yu, you don’t know what Zaozao and Chenchen just said." Tang Yue mimicked Zaozao and Chenchen, especially when Zaozao said: "Mom, when I grow up, I’ll protect you and won’t let anyone bully you." Tang Yue was deeply moved.

Why are her son and daughter so lovable, so endearing?

"They should protect you when they grow up." Si Yu thought that was a given; Chenchen was a girl, but if Zaozao didn’t know to protect his mother, he would definitely scold him.

Suddenly, Si Yu said, "Honey, I see Zaozao and Chenchen are not that young anymore. How about I take them to stay at the company during the winter break?"

"Ah..."

The topic shifted too quickly, and Tang Yue hadn’t caught up.

"Let them exercise and toughen up. I didn’t dare mention training, knowing how much you adore the children. If you found out I was training them, you’d surely be reluctant."

"They’re still so small..." Tang Yue hesitated, then asked, "But there aren’t any places to stay at the company."

They used to be allocated housing, but since getting married, they had stayed at the Siheyuan.

"Now the company has built new family quarters, and it’s close to the school," Si Yu said enthusiastically, "Besides, in February or March next year, you’re heading to F Country, right?"

"Uh..."

Tang Yue didn’t answer directly, noticing Si Yu’s intent, she vaguely anticipated what he was getting at.

"The company has a school too; next semester, the kids can stay at the company. This way, they can be with me; Mom and Dad have mentioned several times wanting to return home but haven’t because of the kids." Si Yu urged, "Dad’s health isn’t well, even after so many years here in Jing City, and it’s still not quite suited. Also, Granny’s health isn’t good, right?"

"Right."

Tang Yue nodded. Indeed, Tang Zhengde and Zhang Hualian wanted to return to Wangjiang City; previously, they hadn’t gone back because the children were young, but since they got older, the couple visited every year for ten days or half a month.

Now the restaurant in Jing City was completely run by Tang Zhengde’s apprentice, giving him few occasions to intervene.

Tang Zhengde’s body is increasingly unsuited to Jing City’s climate.

Wangjiang City isn’t as cold in the winter as Jing City.

"And my mother is currently a teacher at the primary school, and looking after Zaozao and Chenchen is inconvenient." Si Yu’s determination was firm, no matter what, the kids had to be trained. If Tang Yue disagreed, it could be done secretly.

"Moreover, attending school at the company would be safer." Si Yu added.

Having been through a kidnapping incident, Si Yu previously planned to take it slow, but now feels urgency. The kids are still young, unable to handle accidents, relying on anyone else is less secure than relying on oneself. Only by training them could Si Yu feel somewhat at ease.

The kids have to be trained so they can have self-defense capability, then he can be at ease.

"Let’s do as you intend." Tang Yue considered carefully; they couldn’t keep the parents in Jing City just because of the children.

Granny Tang and Grandma Zhang are getting older, and Tang Zhengde and Zhang Hualian in Jing City constantly worry about them.

"You agreed." Si Yu’s eyes lit up, kissing her cheek, very pleased.

Tang Yue reminded, "Si Yu, let me be clear. The kids are still so young. Don’t secretly train them. It’s fine for them to strengthen and exercise, but for training, I think they’re too young."

The kids are just a few years old; she feels for them.

"Don’t worry." Si Yu kissed her chattering lips, the sweetness making him relentless.

Tang Yue repeatedly reminded Si Yu about the injury on his waist, but Si Yu didn’t care, pulling Tang Yue up, and enjoying himself in satisfaction.

The next day, Lian Qingyang arrived with two people, saying, "Sis, these are the people I found for you. From now on, at home, they’ll be guarding in the house, and outside, they’ll protect you in secret."

"Alright." Tang Yue looked over the two men, familiarizing herself, and said with a smile, "Going forward, you two will have to put in more effort."
