Rebirth in 1986: Unforgettable Regrets novel Chapter 68

Chapter 68: Chapter 68 Embrace and Offer a Hug

Third day of the Lunar New Year.

"Big sis, let’s go set off firecrackers, it’s so much fun. You’re always buried in books. It’s fine on regular days, but why are you still reading during the New Year?" Tang Jun dragged Tang Yue out to play with firecrackers.

Right by the riverside, they threw the lit firecrackers into the river, and soon they exploded into sprays of water.

Tang Yue wasn’t very brave. When she stood by and watched Tang Jun play, she reminded him several times, "Xiao Jun, throw it quickly, what if the firecracker explodes in your hand?"

"Sis, it’s fine, these firecrackers take a long time to go off." Tang Jun lit the firecrackers and shook them in his hand before tossing them into the water.

With a ’bang’, water splashed in all directions.

Tang Jun excitedly said, "Big sis, watch from the side and see if any fish come out."

"You’re dreaming, can you really catch fish like this?" Tang Yue couldn’t help but roll her eyes. Could such small firecrackers really blow fish out of the water when thrown in?

Why didn’t she believe it?

"We can." Tang Jun nodded excitedly and said, "Last year, we did catch fish, and even made a bowl of fish soup."

"Really?" Tang Yue looked at Tang Jun skeptically, trying hard to remember, but she couldn’t recall any instance when Tang Jun caught fish like that.

Tang Jun’s face turned red and he said, "We made the fish soup at Mo Weidong’s house."

Back then, he and Tang Yue weren’t very close.

"Oh." Tang Yue nodded in understanding and praised, "Xiao Jun, keep it up. If you catch lots of fish, I’ll make you fish soup."

"We’ll definitely catch some." Tang Jun looked undoubtedly certain, and as Mo Weidong approached from the distance, Tang Jun shouted excitedly.

Next, Tang Jun and Mo Weidong started catching fish with the fireworks.

Other boys in the village also bought some, but they didn’t get much New Year’s money, so they couldn’t buy a lot.

But this year, Tang Jun was happy with the several dollars of New Year’s money he received from Tang Zhengde and Tang Mingli, and Mo Weidong’s house, always generous, provided pocket money too so they had plenty of fireworks to play with.

Tang Jun kept chatting with Tang Yue from time to time.

Tang Yue sat by the side, watching Tang Jun skillfully set off firecrackers, and felt a little more at ease.

After the New Year, Tang Jun turned thirteen, a time of growth for a thirteen-year-old boy. The youthful yet unspoiled face, with its radiant and pure smile, was unforgettable.

The excitement in Tang Jun’s eyes radiated from within, and she couldn’t help being infected by it.

"Sis, quick, get the fishing net. I really caught a fish." Tang Jun said excitedly, dancing with joy.

Tang Yue quickly stood up, and when she saw the belly-up crucian carp, she too got excited. She picked up the fishing net wanting to scoop it up, but it was so cold that her hands were numb and wouldn’t cooperate.

Tang Jun snatched the fishing net and began to scoop.

After catching the crucian carp, although the fish was only the size of two fingers, it was incredibly exciting for them.

Tang Yue joked, "Xiao Jun, if you want to make a bowl of soup with this, I’m afraid the money spent on firecrackers could have bought a bowl of fish already."

"Big sis, we had fun and caught fish too, isn’t that great?" Tang Jun pursed his lips, looking determined to catch more fish.

Tang Yue smiled and praised, "Xiao Jun, keep it up, your sister believes in you."

After speaking, Tang Yue pointed to the grassland behind her, where rice was being sun-dried, and said, "Xiao Jun, I’m going to go over there and bask in the sun."
