Rebirth in 1986: Unforgettable Regrets

Chapter 846: Chapter 846: Passed Away Peacefully

"Xiao Yang, you like beef brisket, right? We still have some at home, so stay for lunch," Zhang Hualian warmly invited.

Lian Qingyang nodded and said, "Thank you, Aunt Tang. You’re so nice, you even remember what I like to eat."

"You’re Xiao Yue’s younger brother, so you’re the same as Xiao Jun," Zhang Hualian smiled, wanting to tell him the truth but decided against it.

The paternity test results aren’t out yet, so saying anything now wouldn’t do any good.

On their way home, Zhang Hualian was in a good mood. As soon as they entered, she asked Lian Qingyang to stay with Tang Yue in the living room while she went into the kitchen to cook something delicious.

Tang Yue could vaguely hear Zhang Hualian humming tunes, all songs from the sixties and seventies.

"Xiao Yang, come over more often. My mom is always happy to see you."

Tang Yue teased, looking at the huge watermelon in his hand, "You bought such a big one, if we can’t finish it, it’ll go to waste."

"If I come every day, Aunt Tang wouldn’t kick me out, would she?" Lian Qingyang joked mischievously.

"Definitely not." Tang Yue replied with a gentle smile. Since her pregnancy, her face had become more radiant, adding a touch of maternal glow, making her even more beautiful.

"I’d love to come every day, but there are things to take care of at the company and a bunch of things waiting for me at the factory," Lian Qingyang said, as he went into the kitchen, found a knife, and cut the watermelon open. The flesh inside was red and looked very sweet.

"Sister Xiao Yue, this watermelon is surely sweet. By the way, where are Tang Jun and the others?" Lian Qingyang asked while cutting the watermelon.

Lian Qingyang handed Tang Yue a triangular piece of watermelon, easy to eat and hold.

"They went to the company." Tang Yue replied, taking a bite of the watermelon, "So sweet, Xiao Yang, who knew you were so good at picking watermelons."

"The melon farmers picked it."

Lian Qingyang wasn’t thick-skinned enough to admit it, so he said, "The four of them are great, studying and playing together, their bond is strong."

Lian Qingyang rarely found such like-minded people. He liked playing games and fighting, but he wasn’t a bully. Sometimes, when meeting classmates he wanted to befriend, they either appreciated his surname Lian or liked bullying others, using their martial arts to oppress the weak.

Lian Qingyang couldn’t stand it and naturally couldn’t get along with them.

"Exactly, they’re around the same age, so they’ve grown close from middle school to high school, and even as they enter the real world, they’ll remain good friends," Tang Yue said, a bit envious. But she was also good friends with Zhang Tingyu and Zhang Minmin.

And Sister An Yu and Sister Qing, they were like big sisters.

Xin Jiar and Sun Qing were also nice, but they always remembered they were employees around her.

In the afternoon, Lian Qingyang had lunch at their home and then left, saying he had things to deal with at the factory.

After taking a nap, Tang Yue was woken up by a call.

"Wu Xin? You’re in Sea City?" Tang Yue was surprised to hear Wu Xin’s voice. She had heard Wu Xin had some matters to attend to. Why did she go to Sea City?

"Yes." Wu Xin answered briefly, "I just got news that Midwife Liu indeed went to Wangjiang County, but whether she went to Shuanghe Town is still uncertain."

"It’s normal not to find anything after so many years." Tang Yue comforted herself but was genuinely a little disappointed inside.

Tang Yue had a small thought and asked, "Wu Xin, is there something else you want to tell me?"

"Midwife Liu died today." Wu Xin’s words were as concise as ever. After a while, she added, "She passed peacefully."

This meant that Midwife Liu wasn’t killed by anyone but died naturally.

"Died?"

Tang Yue was stunned for a moment before saying, "Wu Xin, since there are no leads here, you should come back soon."

"No, I still have a few things to finish in Sea City. You’re about to give birth, take care of yourself," Wu Xin said a few more words and then hung up.

Just as Wu Xin hung up, Meng Siyu came rushing back.

"Honey." Meng Siyu first looked Tang Yue over, making sure she wasn’t feeling uncomfortable, before saying, "You heard about Midwife Liu, right?"

"Yes," Tang Yue nodded and said, "Did you ask Wu Xin to tell me? Are you worried about me? Is that why you rushed back?"

"Honey, don’t worry. In a couple of days, the results will come out, and then Midwife Liu won’t matter anymore," Meng Siyu reassured her. Initially, he hadn’t planned to tell Tang Yue, but Wu Xin said Tang Yue was waiting for the results.

Meng Siyu worried about her and rushed home early. He said, "Wu Xin is helping Uncle investigate something, so she definitely can’t come back for now."

"What is Uncle investigating?"

Tang Yue casually asked. Seeing that Meng Siyu didn’t respond, she said, "As long as Wu Xin is safe, that’s what matters. By the way, why did you come back so early today? Won’t it affect anything?"

"Don’t worry, I’m doing this for work, and I have to go out again later," Meng Siyu said, touching her belly and feeling the baby move inside. He whispered, "Baby, you have to be good and not bother your mommy."

"The babies are all very well-behaved." Tang Yue looked up at his sharp features, unable to recall the stern look he used to have. She couldn’t help but hold his hand and say, "You won’t be leaving any time soon, right?"

"Not for the time being," Meng Siyu replied, his deep eyes watching her. Tasks sometimes come unexpectedly.

"By the way, last time Sister-in-law Liu gave me eggs, and I haven’t decided what to give in return. Maybe when you have a chance, when you visit the fleet, you can bring her some snacks," Tang Yue thought of the pile of food at home she couldn’t finish. She remembered that Sister-in-law Liu’s kids probably liked snacks.

If they gave something expensive, Sister-in-law Liu might feel uncomfortable accepting it. But those little snacks for kids, she would probably accept them.

"It’s a pity I can’t go to the fleet myself. Otherwise, I could deliver them personally," Tang Yue said regretfully.

Meng Siyu watched her regretful expression and gently tapped her nose, saying, "Sister-in-law Liu and the others came to see me today. They plan to visit you tomorrow."

"Really?" Tang Yue’s eyes lit up instantly. Sister-in-law Liu was a nice person, and so were all the military families in the residential area.

"It’s true. They asked me to come back and tell you," Meng Siyu said, seeing her eyes sparkle, knowing he made the right choice. Sister-in-law Liu and the others indeed wanted to visit Tang Yue, but since she hadn’t visited the residential area, they felt it inappropriate to bring it up.

Additionally, because Meng Siyu’s status had changed, they were even more reluctant to mention it. Meng Siyu happened to overhear them talking about wanting to visit Tang Yue when he was in the residential area getting something, so he took the opportunity to speak up.
