"Xiao Yang, you like beef brisket, right? We still have so at ho, so stay for lunch," Zhang Hualian warmly invited.
Lian Qingyang nodded and said, "Thank you, Aunt Tang. You’re so nice, you even rember what I like to eat."
"You’re Xiao Yue’s younger brother, so you’re the sa 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 ho, 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 sothing delicious.
Tang Yue could vaguely hear Zhang Hualian humming tunes, all songs from the sixties and seventies.
"Xiao Yang, co over more often. My mom is always happy to see you."
Tang Yue teased, looking at the huge waterlon in his hand, "You bought such a big one, if we can’t finish it, it’ll go to waste."
"If I co every day, Aunt Tang wouldn’t kick out, would she?" Lian Qingyang joked mischievously.
"Definitely not." Tang Yue replied with a gentle smile. Since her pregnancy, her face had beco more radiant, adding a touch of maternal glow, making her even more beautiful.
"I’d love to co every day, but there are things to take care of at the company and a bunch of things waiting for at the factory," Lian Qingyang said, as he went into the kitchen, found a knife, and cut the waterlon open. The flesh inside was red and looked very sweet.
"Sister Xiao Yue, this waterlon is surely sweet. By the way, where are Tang Jun and the others?" Lian Qingyang asked while cutting the waterlon.
Lian Qingyang handed Tang Yue a triangular piece of waterlon, easy to eat and hold.
"They went to the company." Tang Yue replied, taking a bite of the waterlon, "So sweet, Xiao Yang, who knew you were so good at picking waterlons."
"The lon farrs 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 gas and fighting, but he wasn’t a bully. Sotis, when eting classmates he wanted to befriend, they either appreciated his surna 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 sa 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 rembered they were employees around her.
In the afternoon, Lian Qingyang had lunch at their ho 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 so 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 sothing else you want to tell ?"
"Midwife Liu died today." Wu Xin’s words were as concise as ever. After a while, she added, "She passed peacefully."
This ant that Midwife Liu wasn’t killed by anyone but died naturally.
"Died?"
Tang Yue was stunned for a mont before saying, "Wu Xin, since there are no leads here, you should co 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, ng Siyu ca rushing back.
"Honey." ng 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 ? Are you worried about ? Is that why you rushed back?"
"Honey, don’t worry. In a couple of days, the results will co out, and then Midwife Liu won’t matter anymore," ng Siyu reassured her. Initially, he hadn’t planned to tell Tang Yue, but Wu Xin said Tang Yue was waiting for the results.
ng Siyu worried about her and rushed ho early. He said, "Wu Xin is helping Uncle investigate sothing, so she definitely can’t co back for now."
"What is Uncle investigating?"
Tang Yue casually asked. Seeing that ng Siyu didn’t respond, she said, "As long as Wu Xin is safe, that’s what matters. By the way, why did you co 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," ng 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 ti soon, right?"
"Not for the ti being," ng Siyu replied, his deep eyes watching her. Tasks sotis co unexpectedly.
"By the way, last ti Sister-in-law Liu gave 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 so snacks," Tang Yue thought of the pile of food at ho she couldn’t finish. She rembered that Sister-in-law Liu’s kids probably liked snacks.
If they gave sothing 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.
ng Siyu watched her regretful expression and gently tapped her nose, saying, "Sister-in-law Liu and the others ca to see 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 to co back and tell you," ng 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 ng Siyu’s status had changed, they were even more reluctant to ntion it. ng Siyu happened to overhear them talking about wanting to visit Tang Yue when he was in the residential area getting sothing, so he took the opportunity to speak up.
