Rebirth in 1986: Unforgettable Regrets

Chapter 1138: Chapter 1138: Uncle, Why Won’t You Look at Me?

"Yes, my sister is really amazing. Without her, our family wouldn’t have undergone such drastic changes." Tang Jun’s admiration for Tang Yue is endless. He said, "You know? When my sister was still in high school, she would go with Uncle Tang to the Provincial City to buy goods and then set up a street stall to sell clothes."

"Although I didn’t go with Uncle Tang, I heard from him that it was especially tough. Sleeping at the bus station in the middle of the night was common, and they had to protect their goods well. My sister’s judgment was always the best. She attended school from Monday to Friday, and on weekends she helped Uncle Tang sell goods."

Tang Jun recalled the past, thinking about how challenging it was for Tang Yue. She was a young girl supposed to be adored and protected, yet due to the family’s poverty, she endured numerous hardships outside.

If it weren’t for my sister strongly persuading our parents to open a store in the county, how could our family have the good life we have now?

Tang Jun only resented that he wasn’t the older brother, but the younger brother, and regretted his inability to protect his sister.

If he were the older brother, his sister wouldn’t have had to suffer so much.

"Sister Xiao Yue has it tough, but Tang Jun, you shouldn’t blame yourself too much. You’ve done very well now, Uncle Tang, Aunt Tang, and Sister Xiao Yue will all be proud of you." Yuan Yu said word by word. Not to mention how Tang Jun used to be in school, Yuan Yu was very clear about his performance both in school and the company; Tang Jun had done well enough.

That evening, Yuan Yu felt that the distance between her and Tang Jun was closer than ever.

Unfortunately, beautiful moments are always fleeting. The next day, the car to pick her and Tang Jun had already arrived.

"Sister Yuan." The little girl hugged Yuan Yu reluctantly. Although they had only spent a few days together, the little girl really liked this big sister, and also liked this big brother.

"Little girl." Yuan Yu also reluctantly patted the little girl’s head and said, "Study hard. Become a doctor in the future, and I’ll send you lots of books."

"Hmm."

The child hugged Yuan Yu, raised her head, and said, "Sister Yuan, I haven’t heard your real voice yet."

These days Yuan Yu’s voice had been hoarse, and it hasn’t fully recovered.

"Don’t worry, someday I’ll definitely come and see you again. I’ve left you my address and phone number. If anything happens, remember to find me." Yuan Yu gently pinched the girl’s nose, parting with reluctance.

"Don’t worry, we’ll definitely come back." Tang Jun chimed in, assuring that once his eyes got better, he would come to see her himself.

"You must come back to see me." The girl’s eyes were red, with crystalline tears spinning in her eyes.

The little girl lowered her head all along, afraid to let Yuan Yu see.

"Little girl, I will definitely come back to see you." Yuan Yu hugged the child tightly, her words sounded like a promise.

Jing City.

The first thing upon returning to Jing City was to accompany Tang Jun and Yuan Yu to the hospital for health check-ups.

Yuan Yu’s condition was due to being soaked in cold water for too long, which led to the cold aggravating her cold. After a few days of rest, her cold symptoms were much lighter.

However, Tang Jun required a full-body check, particularly a brain examination.

Yuan Yu refused to go anywhere, staying by Tang Jun’s side.

Si Yu knew Tang Jun had returned, but he couldn’t make it, so he sent Mo Xiaolin with Zaozao and Chenchen.

When one’s eyes can’t see, some comfort is always needed.

Zaozao and Chenchen are very adorable, and if they knew their uncle’s eyes had some trouble, they would surely offer comfort.

Mo Xiaolin arrived with Tang Jun just as he received the results.

The situation wasn’t optimistic, the position of the blood clot was very dangerous, exactly pressing on the optic nerve, and the blood clot was sizable.

Moreover, due to the blood clot’s location, surgery wasn’t suitable; it could only resolve naturally.

In other words, it depended on the blood clot dispersing by itself, all relying on luck.

Perhaps the blood clot would resolve today, and then the eyes would regain vision.

Or maybe, the blood clot might never disperse in a lifetime.

"Tang Jun, your luck has always been good, maybe it’ll be better tomorrow?" Yuan Yu comforted him. She felt bad about it too. Perceiving Yuan Yu as the concerned party was perhaps even harder. She says, "I don’t mind your eyes can’t see, I believe everyone won’t disdain you just because your eyes can’t see."

Tang Jun: "..."

If his eyes were perpetually blind, it meant he could never return to the company.

Tang Jun fell silent, and Yuan Yu tried her best to amuse him. Though the corners of Tang Jun’s mouth lifted, as if he appeared happy, his eyes weren’t joyous at all, instead filled with sorrow and sadness.

Tang Jun’s forced smile wasn’t beautiful at all, making Yuan Yu’s heart ache.

"Yuan Yu, don’t worry, let me stay quiet for a while, okay?" Tang Jun took a deep breath, like waiting for lottery luck, maybe he’d never experience such luck.

From now on, he might just be a... blind man.

No matter how he didn’t want to admit it, Tang Jun knew clearly that it was a fact.

These days, Tang Jun held onto a thread of hope, perhaps when they reached a hospital in Jing City, things would have been better?

"Tang Jun."

Yuan Yu looked concernedly at Tang Jun, her lips moved, wanting to say something but unsure of what to voice.

Then Mo Xiaolin came over with Zaozao and Chenchen, Yuan Yu looked like she had seen an angel.

"Uncle."

Chenchen, being a girl, especially liked to act cute, as soon as she saw Tang Jun, she wanted to run up to him.

"Chenchen?"

Tang Jun was quite surprised, not expecting Chenchen to come over.

"Uncle." Zaozao’s eyes sparkled with excitement. He had been worried ever since he heard his uncle had an accident. Later, when his father said his uncle returned, Zaozao wasn’t satisfied not seeing him, despite feeling at ease, he worried without seeing his uncle personally.

Now seeing his uncle standing there intact, Zaozao was instantly delighted.

"Uncle, did you bring a gift for Chenchen?" Chenchen blinked at Tang Jun, coyly asking for her present.

Tang Jun paused, and said, "Chenchen, this time was rushed, I didn’t bring you anything. Next time, I’ll definitely have a gift for you."

"You mustn’t lie to me, uncle." Chenchen stared fixedly at Tang Jun’s eyes and suddenly asked, "Uncle, how come you’re not looking at me?"

Uncle used to always watch her dotingly, but today, why wasn’t he looking at her?

Tang Jun’s arms holding Chenchen stiffened for a moment.

Zaozao looked at Tang Jun’s eyes. The formerly bright eyes had lost their glow, and the usually composed Zaozao, excitement shot forward to ask, "Uncle, what’s wrong with your eyes?"

Mo Xiaolin looked regretfully at Tang Jun. Si Yu previously mentioned something to her. She never knew how to break the news to the two children. Unexpectedly, the kids, being so perceptive, found out themselves.
