Chapter 1140: Chapter 1140: Half
"Zaozao, Chenchen, you don’t need to stay with me. I can listen to the TV here and don’t feel bored at all. You should go do whatever you need to do."
Tang Jun started to shoo away the two little guys. He said, "What, do you think just because your uncle can’t see, he can’t do anything?"
"No."
Zaozao immediately shook her head.
Chenchen also said, "Uncle is the best, but since Uncle rarely comes back home, I want to keep him company."
"Right." Zaozao nodded affirmatively.
Tang Jun felt helpless and let the two little ones go. In the living room, there was the sound from the TV and the sound of conversation between Mo Xiaolin and Yuan Yu in the kitchen. Zaozao and Chenchen were entangled with him, talking about company matters, keeping Tang Jun busy without time to think about anything else.
...
"Huh, isn’t Xiao Yue abroad?" Wei Jiajia came to the studio to find a sample garment, but just as she arrived, she noticed the lights were on in the adjacent room. She couldn’t help but swallow and looked at Tang Mingli, saying, "Hey, wouldn’t Xiao Yue’s home have been burgled?"
"Impossible." Tang Mingli immediately denied it.
Before they could decide, Tuantuan had already run over, shouting as he ran, "Chenchen."
Tuantuan loved playing with Chenchen the most. Although they were of different generations, their actual ages were only one year apart.
"Tuantuan, it’s Tuantuan coming."
Upon hearing the familiar voice, Chenchen immediately ran outside and, seeing Tuantuan, happily said, "Tuantuan, why have you come?"
Since attending school within the company, Chenchen spent Monday through Sunday there. It was only during these days that she came with Meng Jin and Mo Xiaolin to the Meng Family.
If it weren’t for Tang Jun’s situation, Chenchen wouldn’t have come home.
"Zaozao, is studying at the company fun?" Tuantuan pulled Chenchen, and as soon as they started talking, they couldn’t stop.
Chenchen completely forgot about her uncle’s eye problem, pulling Tuantuan to the room to whisper secrets and play.
Zaozao pursed her lips. She was already used to her unreliable sister.
"When did Xiao Yue come back?"
Tang Mingli and Wei Jiajia walked in, puzzled.
Tang Jun’s back instinctively straightened up. He originally wanted to keep it a secret, but upon returning home, he was discovered immediately.
"Xiao Jun?"
Tang Mingli was extremely surprised to see Tang Jun. He walked forward briskly, slapped him on the shoulder, and said, "You rascal, you came back without telling your little uncle! What, are you afraid I’ll come to your home for dinner?"
"Little uncle, are you joking?"
"Why would I be afraid of you coming to my house for dinner? I just came back today myself."
Tang Jun explained, trying hard to act as if his eyes had no issues, but he quickly realized that this was impossible.
Tang Mingli immediately noticed Tang Jun’s eye problem.
Tang Jun reluctantly explained the situation again, of course excluding the life-threatening parts.
No matter how simple Tang Jun made it sound, Tang Mingli couldn’t help but feel shocked while listening. He examined Tang Jun, secretly feeling relieved that Grandpa Miao saved Tang Jun; otherwise, his nephew might not have returned.
"Xiao Jun, whenever you return to that village, formally thank Grandpa Miao," Tang Mingli said seriously.
Tang Jun nodded affirmatively, needing no reminder from Tang Mingli.
"By the way, did you tell your parents about your accident?"
Tang Mingli asked, knowing clearly that he hadn’t told them; otherwise, with the temperament of his brother and sister-in-law, they’d have flown here right away if they knew — there’s no way they wouldn’t have made a single phone call.
"Little uncle, I want to keep it a secret," Tang Jun pleaded, analyzing, "Who knows, I might wake up tomorrow with my eyes better, so I don’t want my parents to come."
"Besides, grandma’s health isn’t very good lately." Tang Jun knew that since it was spring, grandma’s health was not great. When he came back from home during the New Year, he knew Zhang Hualian was taking care of grandma.
"But..."
Tang Mingli hesitated. Eye problems couldn’t be concealed; if it gets better in a few days, fine. But according to the doctor, it’s all down to luck; who knows when this luck might come?
"Little uncle, just a few days. My sister is also coming back to the country soon, and we’ll talk about it then." Tang Jun sincerely didn’t want his parents and family to worry.
"Alright, just for a few days, we’ll talk when she returns."
Tang Mingli finally agreed. Telling Tang Zhengde and Zhang Hualian now wouldn’t help; wait a few days instead, maybe a miracle will occur?
Wei Jiajia stood aside, offered Tang Jun some comforting words, then went to the kitchen.
In the kitchen, seeing Mo Xiaolin wasn’t surprising, but seeing a strange yet beautiful young woman made Wei Jiajia curious to ask, "Sister Mo, where did you find this pretty young lady?"
Wei Jiajia is of the same generation as Zhang Hualian and equivalent peers to Mo Xiaolin, so she calls Mo Xiaolin ’Sister Mo’ to show respect.
"Jiajia, this beautiful young lady wasn’t found by me; she was found by your Xiao Jun," Mo Xiaolin said, smiling.
"Xiao Yu, this is Xiao Jun’s little aunt." Mo Xiaolin introduced.
"Hello, little aunt, my name is Yuan Yu, and I work in the same company as Tang Jun." Yuan Yu greeted energetically like Tang Jun.
Yuan Yu flashed a big smile. She was already good-looking, and with a full smile and intentional charm, she made others like her even more.
Moreover, Yuan Yu genuinely wanted to gain the approval of Tang Jun’s family.
"Are you a doctor?" Wei Jiajia examined Yuan Yu, still liking this pretty young lady, who not only looked good but also seemed eager to please, probably because she liked Tang Jun and wanted his family to like her?
"Yes." Yuan Yu nodded and mentioned the hospital she worked at.
Upon hearing about Yuan Yu’s profession, Wei Jiajia’s smile deepened and said, "Doctors are good, doctors are good."
Mo Xiaolin warmly invited Wei Jiajia to stay for dinner, and Wei Jiajia agreed. Tang You’an lived at school, so it was the same wherever their family of three ate. The main thing was Tang Jun’s eye problem; it needed comfort, and Tang Mingli certainly couldn’t leave.
Having more people around helped distract Tang Jun from worrying too much.
At dinner, everyone gathered, making it quite lively.
Tang Mingli chatted with Tang Jun about various topics and shared many people’s stories. Some were familiar, happening around them, and others were from books Tang Mingli read, mainly encouraging Tang Jun to positively face everything.
