Rebirth in 1986: Unforgettable Regrets

Chapter 1144: Chapter 1144: Don’t Be Foolish

"Hello." Yuan Yu was still guessing in her heart who Lian Qingyang was.

Lian Qingyang introduced himself, "I’m his brother."

"Biological brother," Lian Qingyang added.

Yuan Yu looked blankly at Tang Jun, then at Lian Qingyang, and if she looked closely, she could barely spot a slight resemblance. After all, both had striking appearances. She mumbled to herself, "Isn’t Aunt Tang’s last name Zhang?"

Even if one goes by their father’s surname Tang, and the other by their mother’s surname, it should still be Zhang, right?

How come it’s Lian, yet he claims to be a biological brother?

"Ahem."

Tang Jun cleared his throat and explained, "We have the same mother."

With this explanation from Tang Jun, Yuan Yu understood and nodded, saying, "Then Sister Xiao Yue..."

"My sister and I are twins," Lian Qingyang introduced with pride and delight.

His greatest pride in this life is being twins with Tang Yue.

Yuan Yu scrutinized Lian Qingyang. Initially, she only found him somewhat familiar. Now, looking closely, Lian Qingyang and Tang Yue aren’t identical but still bear a resemblance.

"Tang Jun, these documents..." Yuan Yu was just about to hand over the documents but then realized, belatedly, that Tang Jun couldn’t see.

Lian Qingyang took the documents and looked at them seriously, reading aloud, "It says here that there are quite a few cases like yours. The fastest recovery happened in a month."

Seeing this, Lian Qingyang seemed instantly full of confidence.

"Also, if you don’t want surgery, acupuncture in traditional Chinese medicine is still quite useful," Yuan Yu handed over another set of documents.

Lian Qingyang, with increased confidence, said, "We’ll go find those two traditional Chinese doctors Uncle mentioned tomorrow, Doctor Yuan, these documents are really good."

Lian Qingyang complimented.

Yuan Yu felt a bit embarrassed, chatted for a while, and then excused herself to find Aunt Mo.

Lian Qingyang nudged Tang Jun and said, "You really kept her well hidden."

"We’re just ordinary... friends," Tang Jun paused and replied.

Lian Qingyang clearly didn’t believe Tang Jun’s words. He said, "Tang Jun, Doctor Yuan is pretty nice. I think you two suit each other. If you’re dating, just say so. It’s not illegal, right? The company doesn’t have a rule against dating or finding a doctor as a girlfriend, right?"

Lian Qingyang was quite displeased with Tang Jun’s secrecy and said, "She’s such a good girl. If you miss out on her, what a pity."

"You see how considerate she is; if she hadn’t put effort into finding these documents, it would have been hard to gather them so comprehensively."

"Xiao Jun, you shouldn’t be foolish."

"When are you planning to marry her? Why don’t we have a wedding together, how lively would that be?"

Lian Qingyang suggested.

Tang Jun: "..."

If his eyes were healed, he would definitely want to marry her sooner.

But who knows when his eyes will get better?

"Tang Jun." Lian Qingyang suddenly scrutinized Tang Jun, "You aren’t ignoring her because of your eyesight, are you? You see she’s actively helping you with your eyes and hasn’t looked down on you."

"It’s really not like what you think between me and her," Tang Jun explained.

No matter how much Tang Jun explained, Lian Qingyang wouldn’t believe him. She chased him to his house; if Tang Jun didn’t have any feelings for her, how could he let her come to his house?

You have to know that over the years, both Tang Jun and Lian Qingyang belong to those who don’t date lightly. Once they do, bringing them home means they’re considering a lifelong relationship.

At the company, many pursued Tang Jun, but he never brought anyone home, even if his mother Zhang Hualian urged him. Tang Jun never budged, and now, a girl had chased him home. Lian Qingyang saw this as mutual affection.

This is perfect, mutual consent, no need to be awkward.

"What about the two traditional Chinese doctors you mentioned for tomorrow? In Changshui Village, it was an old traditional Chinese doctor who saved me before. He did acupuncture for me," Tang Jun changed the topic, not wanting to linger on this topic.

"My uncle said they are both very skilled doctors,"

Lian Qingyang assured, since the uncle had recommended them, they surely must be skilled.

Speaking of Changshui Village, Tang Jun said, "By the way, is that aid for impoverished students still ongoing? The children in Changshui Village live in a very remote area, without schools or teachers."

"Of course, it’s still ongoing. My computer company allocates 5% of its annual profits to aid those impoverished students."

Although 5% doesn’t seem much, the computer company’s business is good. Over time, it amounts to a significant sum of money.

"Changshui Village, that’s the village where you were rescued?" Lian Qingyang asked.

Tang Jun nodded and spoke of many things in the village, remembering most vividly the genuine warmth of the villagers.

Lian Qingyang pondered for a while before saying, "In a few days, we should visit the village. If the children really lack education opportunities as you say, I think we can completely donate a Hope Primary School, provide free desks and books, and hire teachers to go there, which would solve the problem."

"However, you mentioned that transportation to the village is not available, which is indeed a problem." Lian Qingyang contemplated simply building a road, but constructing a road isn’t something that happens overnight, not to mention the journey takes three to four hours on foot. Undertaking road construction requires enormous funding.

"Leave this matter aside, I’ll find someone to handle it. You should focus on treating your eyes," Lian Qingyang felt they should coordinate with local authorities combined with available funds to construct the road.

Once there’s a road, building a Hope Primary School becomes much easier.

Moreover, with a road, it would be more convenient for villagers to visit the outside world.

Lian Qingyang informed Lian He about this, who had been waiting for Lian Qingyang’s call. Upon learning Tang Jun’s blindness, and acknowledging that the villagers saved Tang Jun, prompted by these reasons and the genuine need for aid, how could children not attend school?

This is a good deed, and Lian He immediately started letting people push this matter forward.

Before dinner, Tang Mingli and Wei Jiajia arrived with Tuantuan. The family of three, after their meal, came over specifically to keep Tang Jun company.

"Dad."

Upon arrival, Chenchen rushed into Si Yu’s arms.

"Chenchen’s back," Si Yu held Chenchen, giving a kiss before saying, "Quickly wash your hands and eat."

For dinner, everyone ate together, making for a lively meal. After dinner, Tang Mingli also joined the table to chat with everyone.

Tang Jun, deep down, felt a bit guilty. If it weren’t for him, his uncle wouldn’t have made a special effort to come over to comfort him during such busy times.
