Rebirth in 1986: Unforgettable Regrets

Chapter 912: Chapter 912: A Big Wildcat

"I made these dumplings for you. I’ll cook them for you to eat." Si Yu intentionally made more ingot-shaped dumplings, so they could easily be recognized as his.

Zhang Hualian and Mo Xiaolin made crescent-shaped dumplings.

"Tang, your husband is really good at making dumplings." Lucy looked at Si Yu with admiration; she didn’t expect men could also make dumplings.

Tang Yue said proudly, "Yes, he’s very good at it."

"Back in the team, during the New Year, everyone would make dumplings together. It was so lively." Si Yu’s words carried a sense of nostalgia. In the first two years when he joined the team, he never had time to go home, even spending the New Year within the team.

Each New Year, everyone gathered to make dumplings, which was quite lively. The initial two years in the team were very tough, driving and delivering goods every day, and making dumplings for New Year was probably the most festive thing.

"Xiao Yang, don’t be discouraged. Dumplings are easy to make." Meng Jin, also interested, saw Lian Qingyang looking defeated and comforted him. He washed his hands clean and patiently taught Lian Qingyang step by step how to make dumplings.

Lian Qingyang watched Meng Jin make a crescent dumpling quickly, while he...could only pinch the edges, trying hard to make some pretty pleats but ended up with a shapeless thing. Just when he had gathered enough resolve, his heart scattered again.

"Uncle Meng, are you sure you’re not laughing at me?" Lian Qingyang felt tragic and looked aggrieved. His brother-in-law Si Yu was understandable; Si Yu was always so excellent and absolutely overshadowed him in all aspects.

But Uncle Meng is even older than his dad!

Why could even Uncle Meng make good dumplings, but he couldn’t?

Lian Qingyang refused to accept defeat; he was determined to make good dumplings.

"Xiao Yang, making dumplings is something you get better at with practice. Besides, your talent with computers is unmatched." Tang Yue comforted, "Your hands are naturally meant for working with computers."

"Really?" Lian Qingyang felt comforted by his elder sister.

"Of course, it’s true," Tang Yue affirmed, "No one is perfect, and no one can do everything."

"Sis, you’re so nice."

Lian Qingyang instantly felt happy.

Lucy glanced sideways and whispered something in French near Tang Yue’s ear. Tang Yue’s lips curled slightly as she replied sideways, "Lucy, you also have a good brother."

"An Yu, have you contacted your brother?" Mr. Qin looked at Qin Anyu. These days, Qin Anyu was busy; during the day, she left Chu Huaijin at the courtyard where there was an auntie. With Mr. Qin, she didn’t worry a bit about Chu Huaijin making trouble.

Chu Hong accompanied Qin Anyu home; they had just finished eating. Mr. Qin looked at Qin Anyu eagerly.

"No," Qin Anyu shook her head and said, "My brother said he was busy before, so I haven’t contacted him. What’s up?"

"Your brother is twenty-nine and still not married." Mr. Qin talked about it with a headache. Every time he called Qin Anhao and just broached the topic, Qin Anhao would find an excuse to hang up, saying he had matters to attend to.

Mr. Qin certainly understood that Qin Anhao didn’t want to talk about this, but he had been hoping for Qin Anhao to give him a great-grandson. Yet, Qin Anhao remained unmarried, not even having a partner.

"Grandpa," Qin Anyu took a sip of tea. She wanted to say that Qin Anhao and the Xie family’s little princess were quite close, but since things between Qin Anhao and Xie Ziyao weren’t settled yet, and she didn’t know the situation—what if it didn’t work out, or they were just in the talking phase?

Knowing how anxious Grandpa felt, what if the moment he heard this, he insisted on Qin Anhao bringing the young lady home, and scared her away?

Better to figure things out first, then tell Grandpa.

Thinking like this, Qin Anyu said, "He’s busy with work at the company, and besides, when it comes to fate, it just happens. With how my brother looks, how could no one like him? Grandpa, there’s no need to worry. For all we know, he might soon bring a granddaughter-in-law home to you."

"An Yu," Mr. Qin looked at her sharply, asking, "Is your brother already dating someone?"

"Grandpa, I haven’t said that." Qin Anyu swallowed her tea, thankfully, otherwise she might have sprayed it everywhere.

"Grandpa, you should not inquire about this matter. When there’s someone, my brother will naturally bring them home." Seeking help, Qin Anyu signaled Chu Hong with her eyes, and used the excuse of going to check if Chu Huaijin had eaten to leave.

At night, when Qin Anyu returned home, she couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief and said, "My brother better bring someone home soon; otherwise, Grandpa keeps asking me, I’ll surely spill the beans."

"I need to call and ask." Saying this, Qin Anyu decided to give Qin Anhao a call.

"An Yu, what’s up? Do you need something?" Qin Anhao was prepared to go to his room but turned back to answer the call, guessing it was from Qin Anyu.

In the office, only Qin Anhao’s room on this floor was illuminated.

"Brother, what’s going on with you and Xie Ziyao? Are you together?" Once Qin Anyu spoke, she went straight to the point without beating around the bush.

Qin Anhao was silent for a while before he said, "An Yu, she and I are just ordinary friends."

"Brother, don’t lie to me," Qin Anyu rolled her eyes and said, "Today Grandpa asked again, I almost let it slip. Brother, Xie Ziyao, although she’s a bit young, she’s really pretty, and has a bit of a temper. But she’s young, which is understandable."

"An Yu, don’t play matchmaker," Qin Anhao wanted to hang up, but Qin Anyu threatened, "Brother, don’t hang up, the matter isn’t finished yet. If you hang up, don’t blame me for tattling to Grandpa."

"Okay."

As Qin Anyu casually flipped through the report she had just written, she carefully studied it. Anyway, anything Qin Anhao said, she could just perfunctorily respond.

Suddenly, there was a loud ’bang’.

Simultaneously answering the call and reading the report, Qin Anhao was startled.

"Brother, what’s wrong? Did something happen over there?" On the call, Qin Anyu was also startled.

"Nothing," Qin Anhao’s voice was calm. "Just a stray cat came in, no big deal. I’ll hang up now; I need to rest. You’re a mom now, don’t do anything reckless."

With that, Qin Anhao swiftly hung up, turning his gaze to the door at the large ’stray cat’.

Wearing casual clothes, Xie Ziyao, who had arrived from who-knows-where, had a flushed face and dazed eyes, and as she walked in, a strong smell of alcohol wafted in.
