Rebirth in 1986: Unforgettable Regrets-Chapter 1256: Be Sure to Come Back Safe

"Even your mom can’t allow it."

Si Yu lowered his head and muttered, "Only I can bully you."

"Si Yu, this is like allowing an official to set fires but not letting commoners light lamps," Tang Yue accused.

Si Yu grinned, showing his neat white teeth, and said, "Wifey, if I don’t tease you, I can’t just go teasing others, can I?"

...

Just as Tang Yue said, the next day, Zhang Hualian sought out Tang Yue for a chat, expressing that she was upset with Tang Jun, not with Tang Yue.

"Mom, I know, I didn’t take it to heart." Of course, Tang Yue knew Zhang Hualian wasn’t really scolding her, nor was she truly angry at her.

Besides, even if a mother and daughter have a quarrel, it’s really nothing. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

"Actually, I found out just a little before you did, Mom. I also don’t agree with Xiao Jun going to Yun City."

As soon as Tang Yue finished speaking, Zhang Hualian seemed to find a kindred spirit.

Excitedly, Zhang Hualian said, "Xiao Yue, I knew it, our hearts are connected, and we think alike."

"Yun City is chaotic, I’ve heard about it even though I’ve never been."

Tang Yue’s words received high agreement from Zhang Hualian, who echoed them.

"But," Tang Yue suddenly changed the topic, "Mom, Xiao Jun wants to go."

Zhang Hualian: "..."

Indeed, what’s the use of them worrying here?

Tang Jun wants to go himself.

Zhang Hualian has always been an open-minded mother, and Tang Zhengde even more so; whatever decisions the kids make, they’re allowed to, they never refuse.

"Xiao Yue, you don’t need to say more, let me think it over again." Zhang Hualian fell silent.

Suddenly, she asked, "Is Yun City really that chaotic and dangerous?"

"Yes, but Si Yu has explained quite a bit about Yun City." Tang Yue briefly explained that although it was chaotic, correspondingly, there were also many people responsible for safety.

"Then let’s go find Si Yu."

Listening to Tang Yue’s explanation, Zhang Hualian, still a bit confused, wanted to find Si Yu.

"Mom."

Tang Yue quickly pulled her back and said, "Mom, he’s busy; why don’t we just wait for him to come back tonight and ask then?"

"Right." Zhang Hualian belatedly reacted.

Night.

As soon as Si Yu got home, Zhang Hualian started asking him about Yun City.

Si Yu truthfully said there were risks, but not as terrifying as Zhang Hualian imagined.

Zhang Hualian and Tang Zhengde discussed it throughout the night and eventually decided to let Tang Jun go.

"Dad, Mom, I knew you would agree."

"Thank you."

"Thank you, Sister. Thank you, Brother-in-law."

Tang Jun excitedly hugged Tang Zhengde. These days hadn’t been easy for Tang Jun either; although he insisted on going to Yun City, he would have felt bad if his parents disagreed.

Now that they’ve all agreed, he’s so excited that he doesn’t know what to say.

Looking at Tang Jun’s smile from the heart, Zhang Hualian sighed to herself; if they had never agreed, would Xiao Jun be this happy?

"Xiao Jun, Mom has no other requests, just wants you to come back safe and sound."

Zhang Hualian held Tang Jun’s hand, speaking word by word.

"Mom, I will definitely come back safe and sound."

Tang Jun promised.

Zhang Hualian moved her lips but said nothing else. In the next two days, she was often adding things for Tang Jun to take along, wishing he could have everything he might need.

"Mom, just bring me some food; I don’t need to take clothes." Tang Jun couldn’t help but remind her; with so much stuff, it looked like he was going on a trip.

"I’ve heard it’s the rainy season there. If you don’t bring more clothes, how will you have enough to change?"

Zhang Hualian picked and chose, but still ended up packing a full big box.

"He Ming, I’m entrusting our Xiao Jun to you." Zhang Hualian implored He Ming again and again to take care of Tang Jun.

The food prepared for Tang Jun was equally prepared for He Ming.

"Aunt Tang, don’t worry; even if I risk my life, I’ll protect Xiao Jun." He Ming promised, patting his chest.

"Thank you."

Smiling brightly, Zhang Hualian invited, "When you all come back, Auntie will make you some delicious food, and your uncle can cook many dishes; you’re welcome to come and eat then."

"Thank you, Auntie."

He Ming had eaten at the Tang Family before, and their food was delicious, with a homey taste; He Ming loved coming to eat at the Tang Family.

Thinking about the good food waiting for him after returning from Yun City, He Ming began to look forward to it.

"Xiao Jun, your dad and I are waiting for you to come home." Zhang Hualian held Tang Jun’s hand, unable to resist speaking despite her efforts.

"Hmm." Tang Jun nodded affirmatively and said, "Dad, Mom, when I get back, I want fried chicken legs."

"Alright, I’ll make them all for you." Tang Zhengde supported Zhang Hualian; though he was also reluctant in his heart, he appeared more composed compared to her. He said, "I’ll make all the dishes you like."

"Thanks, Dad."

Tang Jun slowly turned around.

"Xiao Jun, don’t forget your promise with Zaozao." Tang Yue called out to Tang Jun’s back.

Zaozao and Tang Jun had agreed to work hard together and see who could learn a foreign language faster and better.

"Sister, don’t worry, let Zaozao work hard, I’ll definitely learn faster than Zaozao."

Tang Jun waved to Tang Yue, got in the car with He Ming, took a deep breath, calmed his emotions, and asked, "Mingzi, tell me about the local dialect there quickly."

"Ah..."

He Ming thought Tang Jun was still adjusting his emotions, but unexpectedly, as soon as he got in the car, he started asking about the local dialect.

Yun City, Dafu County, quite contrary to its name, is not rich at all and is, in fact, quite poor.

However, there’s a lot of people coming and going.

Therefore, although the buildings are dilapidated in the county, it still looks rather bustling.

Traveling from Jing City to Yun City took a full three days. During this trip, though Tang Jun was sitting in the car, he had already learned the local dialect of Yun City quite well from He Ming; at least simple conversations were no issue.

He Ming directly introduced Dafu County, and it was precisely because fights were frequent that the county appeared very poor, with extremely old buildings.

Previously they had procured medicinal herbs from here, but this was Tang Jun’s first visit. As soon as they arrived at the company, they heard people outside anxiously saying, "Something’s wrong, the doctor was taken away!"

"What’s going on?" He Ming sternly questioned. Hearing about a doctor, he felt anxious because they didn’t have many doctors, only four.

"When we went nearby to gather herbs, Doctor Yuan was taken away, and Doctor Xu went over to save him but got taken too." The person gulped, carefully explaining the situation back then.
