Rebirth in 1986: Unforgettable Regrets

Chapter 842: Chapter 842: Reunion in Jing City

Jing City.

Tang Yue couldn’t make it to the station, so Zhang Hualian, Wei Jiajia, and Lian Qingyang went to pick up instead.

Wei Jiajia left Anan and Tuantuan at home, with Tang Yue and Jin Yan looking after them.

Originally, Sun Qing and the others were supposed to arrive a couple of days ago, but something came up at the factory, so it was delayed until today.

Jin Yan, the assistant, had turned into a nanny, taking care of both kids.

Luckily, Tuantuan was easy to handle, she just needed to be fed and entertained, making sure she didn’t fall or get hurt. Anan was even easier, give him some building blocks and he could play all day.

"Tang Yue." The love-nourished Xin Jiaren had a peachy complexion, and her brows and eyes reflected a happiness tinged with pink bubbles.

Tang Yue noticed it but didn’t point it out. She said, "You three have been working in the studio for nearly three years, and now at Mingyue Clothing Factory, your designs are getting better and better. On behalf of the factory, I thank you for the significant contributions you’ve made."

Tang Yue stood up and bowed earnestly to them.

Over these years, without the three of them, Tang Yue couldn’t have managed both factories simultaneously. Even though she had significantly raised their salaries, she felt their efforts far exceeded their pay.

Therefore, the opening bonuses and the year-end bonuses during the New Year were quite substantial.

"We should be the ones thanking you." Xin Jiaren hurried forward to support Tang Yue. Without her, their lives wouldn’t be as comfortable as they are now. Not to mention, the salaries Tang Yue gave were very generous.

Sun Qing stood by tang Yue’s other side, noticing how cumbersome Tang Yue’s body had become, especially with her big belly, they were extra careful, treating her like a porcelain doll.

Sun Qing said, "If it weren’t for you, my sister might not be alive today. How could she be doing as well as she is now? I should be the one thanking you for giving me such a good job opportunity. Meeting you, as my boss, is the happiest thing that has happened to me."

"That’s right. Without you, my mom and my sister couldn’t have settled down in Jing City." Peng Yufei rarely said such things. If it weren’t for Tang Yue, he didn’t know where he would be living, let alone provide a stable life for his mom and sister.

Now he’s earning more money, and if he saves for two more years, maybe he can buy a house in Jing City. Although houses here are expensive, some flats near the factory are still affordable.

"So, it seems I am a good boss after all." Tang Yue joked, steering away from the topic. She changed the subject, "By the way, the reason I called you here today, besides wanting to see your recent designs, is to ask Xin Jiaren and Sun Qing about the studio near Jinghua University. It’s now vacant, and if you want, it can be your employee dormitory."

"Can we really live there?" Xin Jiaren looked shocked towards Tang Yue.

She’s from Su City, always renting a place in a tenement building here. Those buildings are cramped, crowded, and chaotic, with all sorts of people. She rents a place with two other classmates, always wishing to find somewhere else, even considering living with Sun Qing.

But just as this idea was forming, Tang Yue’s proposal left Xin Jiaren stunned.

"Of course you can." Tang Yue couldn’t help but laugh, "Anyway, it’s empty, and it’s also a studio, so it’s convenient for you to work there. Going to the factory isn’t that far either."

"That’s great." Xin Jiaren said excitedly, "I just need one room on the east side."

The studio is close to Jinghua University, safe, and quiet. If she could live in such a place, it would be like a pie falling from the sky.

Sun Qing had heard Tang Yue mention it before, and hearing it again now filled her with excitement.

"The house has been cleaned, the two guest rooms on the east side are done up, and if you want to cook, you can do it yourselves." Tang Yue, after talking to Sun Qing, had cleaned up the place with Zhang Hualian, although most of the cleaning was done by Zhang Hualian.

Although it hadn’t been lived in for a while, it was still very clean, with just a bit of dust.

That day, they even bumped into Zhang Tingyu, who was now interning at a law firm. Seeing her with a large belly, she talked a lot more, probably surprised that she was pregnant.

Tang Yue patted her belly and said, "In the future, Mingyue Clothing Factory will definitely continue to recruit more designers. At that time, I’ll need you guys to put in even more effort."

Sun Qing and the others promised wholeheartedly, patting their chests, guaranteeing they’d do their best.

Tang Yue invited them for a meal; they didn’t stay long and left with the keys. Tang Yue just smiled helplessly, thinking about their futures as their design experience increased. Along with raising their salaries, their benefits must not fall short either.

"Jin Yan, how about you..." Tang Yue hadn’t finished her thought before Jin Yan shook her head and said, "Sister Xiao Yue, I have a place to stay. I live well with my grandfather over on Jinyang Street. As long as I can keep learning by your side, I’m satisfied."

At the station, Zhang Hualian and the others picked up Tang Jun. Along the way, Zhang Hualian didn’t ask him about his test scores, just if they had a hard trip.

Zhang Qiang called Zhang Hualian his aunt. Over the years, he often came here and even in Wangjiang County, had many meals at the Tang Family’s house.

Mo Weidong and Wei Jiajie were also familiar with them, feeling very close to Zhang Hualian, like she was a member of their family.

"Mom, why is he here too?" On the way back, Tang Jun asked in confusion when he saw Lian Qingyang.

"Because we two women would worry otherwise."

Zhang Hualian remembered when they were leaving, how Lian Qingyang volunteered to come along, along with Tang Yue’s approval. The more she thought about it, the closer she felt to Lian Qingyang.

By the time they returned to Jianan Prefecture, it was already afternoon.

Tang Zhengde had come home early to prepare a lavish dinner, and even Tang Mingli came over to eat.

Couple Meng Jin and Mo Xiaolin also came, looking in on Tang Yue and checking on Mo Weidong, as family wanted to care for their nephew after his exams.

Meng Siyu also happened to return home today. The large round table was full, a bit cramped but filled with happiness and harmony.

The Tang family in Jing City was reunited, with Tang Zhengde cheerfully drinking with Meng Jin and Tang Mingli.

After dinner, Tang Yue was sitting on the sofa, wanting to eat some grapes, when she saw Lian Qingyang and Tang Jun each sitting on a side, holding grapes in their hands.

"Sister, I know you love grapes. I just washed these." Tang Jun hadn’t seen his sister in half a year, and now her belly was so big he almost didn’t recognize her. Just thinking he’s going to be an uncle made his heart brim with excitement.

Not to be outdone, Lian Qingyang offered a bunch of red grapes, saying, "Sister Xiao Yue, I specifically got these imported seedless red grapes for you. They taste great."
