Rebirth in 1986: Unforgettable Regrets novel Chapter 201

Chapter 201: Chapter 201: New Year’s Eve Fireworks

New Year’s Eve.

This was the second New Year’s Eve Tang Yue celebrated after her rebirth.

The New Year’s Eve dinner was prepared by Tang Zhengde and his wife Zhang Hualian, even more lavish than last year’s, with chicken, duck, fish, and meat being indispensable. And Tang Zhengde prepared the meat in several different varieties.

Wang Aihua was chopping meat filling, with Wei Jiajia helping by her side, while Granny Tang was kneading dough to make dumpling wrappers.

Tang Yue taught Tang Jun how to wrap dumplings, and the whole family was filled with joy and laughter.

Tang Min sat in front of the TV, excitedly watching shows, while Tang Xian had run off somewhere unknown.

"Jiajia, those fireworks you bought must have been expensive, right?" Wang Aihua’s gaze had drifted towards the fireworks placed in the corner many times.

Usually, during the New Year, no one in the village would set off fireworks.

Money at home was tight even for basic living expenses, let alone for buying fireworks.

Fireworks are pretty, but no matter how pretty, you can’t eat them.

She had only occasionally seen fireworks when she went to town.

"Sister-in-law, the fireworks were bought from the city, they weren’t expensive, just meant to add to the New Year festivities," Wei Jiajia said with a sweet smile, the dimples on her cheeks and her unhurried tone making one feel as if basking in the warmth of the spring breeze.

Wang Aihua looked enviously at Wei Jiajia who was wearing a bright red jacket, which made her fair skin stand out and her slender face look very attractive. Even though they were doing the same task, Jiajia simply looked better.

Because of the issue with the sewing machine, Wang Aihua dared not say a word out of place nor offend Wei Jiajia, for if Tang Zhengyuan was not allowed to work at the factory, it would be disastrous.

"Little aunt, can you take me to the city next time? Are the buildings in the city really tall and beautiful?" Tang Jun’s eyes sparkled with excitement. The last time he had a brief encounter with the city was when he rode through it during a wedding procession but he never had a chance to play there.

Tang Jun had always wanted to visit the city.

"Sure, Xiao Jun, if you want to go, I’ll take you next time," Wei Jiajia said, then looked at Tang Jun with a hint of apology, "It’s just that, I probably won’t be able to go in the next six months."

Her belly was going to get bigger, and it would become even more inconvenient to travel.

"It’s okay, I need to focus on my studies now. I want to go to university," Tang Jun’s ambition was vast and very clear.

"You really want to go to university?" Wang Aihua asked Tang Jun in surprise.

It always seemed that university was out of their reach.

"Yes," Tang Jun said confidently, and with a slight pout he added, "Auntie, I will definitely get into university."

His sister had already checked for him, there was still a year and a half to go. As long as he worked hard, he was sure to get into the key secondary school. Then, with another three years of high school ahead, another three years of effort, he was certain to make it to university.

"Xiao Jun," Tang Yue’s almond eyes glanced at Tang Jun.

Tang Jun immediately lowered his head to admit his mistake, "Sis, I was wrong. Next time, I won’t just say it, I’ll work harder at my studies. Once I get into the key school and then into university, everyone will know."

"How do you wrap these dumplings, sis?" Tang Jun tried hard with his hands, but couldn’t manage to make them look good at all; his hands seemed even clumsier than his feet. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺
