Rebirth in 1986: Unforgettable Regrets

Chapter 1085: Chapter 1085: Call Me Sister

Tang Zhengde is full of hope for the future. In the past, he never dared to dream of buying a house and a shop in Jing City.

Although the shop isn’t particularly big, at least it’s his, regardless of whether the restaurant opens or not.

"Alright, in the future, we’ll work hard to save up a dowry for Xiao Jun." Zhang Hualian was convinced by Tang Zhengde.

When Zhang Hualian mentioned this to Tang Yue, she said, "Mom, Xiao Jun and Xiao Yang are different, but I think it’s already great that Dad can take out ten thousand yuan."

Zhang Hualian glanced at her and said, "Xiao Yue, when did I ever say your dad was bad?"

"Hehe." Tang Yue grinned, her beautiful eyes blinking.

"I’m fully aware of your dad’s virtues, and even if Zhengde didn’t take out a penny, I would have nothing to say." Zhang Hualian was clear about these things, and because of this clarity, she felt even more grateful towards Tang Zhengde.

"Yes, Mom, just live well with Dad and enjoy happiness in the future." Tang Yue said as she held Zhang Hualian’s hand.

Zhang Hualian knew well her daughter’s concerns, and she tapped her forehead lightly, saying, "You silly girl, what are you overthinking? Speaking of which, Zaozao and Chenchen will be six after the new year. Your grandmother and your grandmother-in-law are getting older and their health isn’t good. I think your dad wants to go back to the hometown."

"Mom, you both can go back, don’t worry about us." Taking this opportunity, Tang Yue mentioned her plan to send the two kids to the company at the beginning of next year, and she said, "Mom, I’m sorry, because of us, you’ve stayed in Jing City for so long."

"Silly girl."

Listening to Tang Yue’s explanation, Zhang Hualian promptly said, "That’s perfect. We’ll head back home after the New Year. Xiao Yang is just engaged, and for sure, the first year will involve some family gatherings."

"Your grandma would be very happy if she knew we were going back." Zhang Hualian smiled, seemingly imagining Elder Mrs. Zhang’s joy.

"Yes, after the fashion show next year, during the summer vacation, I should take the kids home for a visit." Tang Yue recalled her upbringing in Wangjiang County, which was once just a small county. Now it has been established as a city, and Huayue Forest Park is exceedingly beautiful. Everyone likes to walk and stroll around there.

Zaozao and Chenchen have always had hurried visits there since they were born. The two children have been longing to go back.

"No hurry, focus on your work. If the two kids are going to the company, what about you? Are you running between the company and Jing City?" Zhang Hualian was concerned for her daughter.

"It’s not far. Whenever Si Yu comes home, it’s already quite late. If I go to the company, it’s only a half-hour drive. I can go ahead, and if there’s nothing urgent in the morning, I don’t have to rush out." Tang Yue had a lot on her plate, but it wasn’t necessary to finish them here.

It’s not even a problem to go to the company.

"The company is indeed safer." Zhang Hualian remembered the last time Tang Yue was kidnapped. The thought made her anxious.

"Mom, don’t worry; no matter where you are in the future, you’ll be safe and sound. Si Yu will definitely catch that person, and by then, Si Yu’s enemies won’t be able to find Si Yu’s details." Tang Yue comforted Zhang Hualian. It was still unclear who had leaked Meng Siyu’s information; otherwise, such an incident wouldn’t have happened.

"Alright."

Zhang Hualian responded, agreeing with Tang Yue’s viewpoint. She said, "Xiao Yue, what do you think I should buy for Xiao Yang?"

Money doesn’t really mean much. Honestly, they aren’t short of ten thousand yuan.

"For marriage, the most important thing is the bride price, which Yang’s dad will handle. But, Mom, your money can be used to buy other things." Tang Yue’s words immediately caught Zhang Hualian’s attention. Tang Yue said, "Giving gold jewelry indicates respect for the daughter-in-law, and secondly, gold retains its value and can last long. Who would mind having more gold, right?"

"Right."

Listening to Tang Yue’s words, Zhang Hualian suddenly felt enlightened. She had been overthinking and worrying too much before.

The next day, Zhang Hualian took Tang Yue to select gold jewelry. According to Zhang Hualian, Tang Yue and Jin Yan are about the same age, probably with similar tastes and preferences.

A gold bracelet, gold necklace, golden earrings, and gold ring—she bought the four gold pieces in simple and stylish designs, nothing too flashy.

"Aunties!"

When Chenchen saw Lian Tong arrive, she ran towards Lian Tong with her tiny legs.

"Oh my, my darling Chenchen is so well-behaved."

Lian Tong happily picked Chenchen up and kissed her soft little cheek, saying, "I haven’t seen you in a while, and my Chenchen is even prettier."

"Aunties are beautiful too." Chenchen grinned, her two little hands hugging Lian Tong’s neck with pure joy.

Aunties adore her; every visit, they bring lots of treats and dolls.

"Such sweet words."

Lian Tong pinched Chenchen’s little nose and said, "Quick, look what goodies Aunties brought you."

"Aunties are the best." Chenchen clapped her little hands, thrilled with joy.

"Xiao Yu, Xiao Shu." Chenchen, like a big sister, pulled Gai Yu and Gushu along.

Gai Yu turned sideways and said, "I’m a boy."

"What’s with being a boy?" Chenchen looked puzzled.

"Girls can’t hold hands with boys." Gai Yu explained seriously, beginning to look for Zaozao.

"What can’t you hold hands for, with an uncle younger than me?" Chenchen muttered, pulling Gushu along and said with a smile, "Call me sister."

"Sister." Gushu clutched Chenchen’s hand; he liked this sister, who was pretty and smelled nice, just like his mom.

"Chenchen, you should call Xiao Shu uncle." Tang Yue sternly reminded.

"No worries, they’re still young, let them call how they like." Lian Tong wasn’t bothered; besides, Xiao Shu and Xiao Yu are younger than Chenchen, especially Xiao Shu, who calls ’sister’ when taught, while holding Chenchen.

"Aunties, we mustn’t mess up the seniority." Tang Yue helplessly looked at Lian Tong and secretly glared at her daughter.

Chenchen cheekily stuck her tongue out, not caring. She was clearly older, so why should she call Xiao Shu uncle?

"Don’t worry; they’ll know about the hierarchy when they grow older." Lian Tong took Chenchen back to the room to get her gifts.

"Hahaha~"

Old Sir Lian was discussing Lian Qingyang’s engagement with Lian He; he had impressions of Jin Yan and thought she was a nice girl.

Now that Lian Qingyang is getting married, Old Sir Lian is elated to witness Lian Qingyang’s marriage and the future birth of his great-grandchildren. Recently, Old Sir Lian has been in good spirits and feeling quite comfortable.

With people gathering, everyone stayed at Tang Yue’s house for the liveliness, while Zhang Hualian and Tang Zhengde lived in their newly bought house.
