When Qingyang arrived, it just so happened that they were about to start the meal. "Qingyang, you came just in time, let's eat." Tang Yue said with a smile, thinking that recently Qingyang had been coming to their house for meals every day, and she felt that Qingyang had gained quite a bit of weight. "Sure." Qingyang didn't mind the crowd, but as Tang Yue introduced everyone, Qingyang felt a pang in his heart. The Tang Family and the Zhang Family were all here, but the Lian Family, who were supposed to be closest to Tang Yue, were not. Lian He, as a father, couldn't personally witness his daughter's marriage. Every time Qingyang thought about this possibility, it just felt wrong to him; it was truly frustrating. The livelier Tang Yue's house got, the stronger Qingyang felt his sense of loss. From the Lian Family, only he came. Nᴇw ɴovel chaptᴇrs are published on novelꜰire.net After leaving Tang Yue's house, Qingyang immediately called the Lian Family. The servant answered the phone; grandfather was asleep, Xiang Yazhi had gone out, and Lian He was on a business trip. It was said to be in Jiang City, apparently at a development project where some urgent matters had arisen, taking him away for two days already. Qingyang wanted to call Jiang City, but had absolutely no idea where to call. Lian He was not fond of carrying a mobile phone, and with so many places in Jiang City, where could Qingyang even start looking for him? After hanging up, Qingyang called Lian Tong. For several days, Lian Tong had disappeared without a trace, not to be found anywhere. And who knows if he found Gu Chun. Qingyang murmured in his heart, secretly calculating, today was already August 1st, sleep one night and it would be August 2nd, another night and it'd be August 3rd. Tomorrow, he'd make another call, and if they couldn't make it in time, it wouldn't be his fault for not notifying them. The Tang Family's house was bustling, too crowded to accommodate everyone; Tang Zhengyue's family, Tang Zhenghong's family, Zhang Huafeng's family, and Tang Zhengyuan stayed in a guesthouse. Several children were sent to stay at Tang Mingli's place. Granny Tang, Elder Mrs. Zhang, and Tang Xian with Guo Li's family of three, stayed in the alley house. Originally, Tang Zhenghong wanted to stay in the alley house, but Granny Tang sternly told her and her sisters to take their families to the guesthouse. With such a small grandchild, how could they stay in a guesthouse? There were only so many rooms here, surely they couldn't make Tang Yue move out, could they? Granny Tang was open-minded; nowadays, Tang Yue was filial to them, Xiao Yue was polite, but she couldn't just watch Tang Zhenghong wear down the last ties of affection between niece and aunt. Currently, out of her children, it was Tang Zhenghong's family that was somewhat lacking, and worst of all, Tang Zhenghong didn't even realize it, making Granny Tang anxious inside. The next day, early in the morning, the whole family went to Tian'anmen to watch the flag-raising ceremony. When the national anthem played and the flag slowly rose, everyone was moved, and they all spontaneously started singing the national anthem together. Tang Yue had seen it several times before, but each time, the stir in her heart never lessened. After returning from Tian'anmen, they had breakfast and then went back to the alley house. Tomorrow, they would go to register for marriage; they were not here for fun, there were indeed many things to take care of at home. Upon returning to the alley, everyone immediately spotted the slightly dark and thin three young boys; Mo Weidong had gone back to Jianan Prefecture to see his parents. "Qiangzi." Liu Cuihong spotted her son Zhang Qiang at first glance, rushed over excitedly, and carefully sized him up: "You've gotten tanner and thinner, but you look more spirited." "Mom." Zhang Qiang called out joyfully. Tang Jun and Wei Jiajie also saw their family and greeted them, then went back inside. Tang Zhenghong's eyes flickered as she said, "Xiao Jun, you are working at your brother-in-law's company? What are you doing there?" "Third Aunt," Tang Jun greeted, "We're helping our brother-in-law make deliveries. Xiao Gang and Xiao Lie could also go if they aren't afraid of hardship." "Our brother-in-law's company is short-staffed," Tang Jun said with pride. People in the brother-in-law's company admire him so much, and Tang Jun felt honored by association. If he could achieve one-tenth of what his brother-in-law has, he would be very satisfied. Among the four of them, Tang Jun, the person they admired most was undoubtedly Mo Siyu. Even if sometimes making deliveries was exhausting to the point of collapse, they felt their physical condition noticeably improving, even the weakest Mo Weidong was slowly catching up. "We don't want to go make deliveries." Seeing Tang Zhenghong's demeanor, Chen Gang immediately said. "I'm not going either," Chen Lie chimed in from the side. The two brothers usually hated enduring hardship the most. Hearing about making deliveries, they knew it was hard work. Seeing how dark and thin Tang Jun and his group were, they definitely didn't want that for themselves. Sending them to make deliveries would practically be the death of them. "Xiao Gang, Xiao Lie, no worries about not making deliveries, how about we spar a little?" Tang Jun flexed his hands, and Chen Gang quickly shook his head. Tang Jun and Zhang Qiang then dragged Chen Gang and Chen Lie out the door. Tang Zhenghong wanted his sons to mingle with Tang Jun and his group, very much hoping they could stick together. Have you seen how much better Zhang Qiang has become lately? He's changed so much compared to before. Chen Gang and Chen Lie... they were almost in tears; they didn't want to spar with Tang Jun. In the past, Chen Gang and Chen Lie loved to mess with Tang Jun and his sister. Back when Tang Yue was timid, and Tang Jun couldn't beat them, they used to bully Tang Jun a lot. But since Tang Yue started high school, she has become much more assertive. Even though Tang Jun still couldn't beat them, he didn't suffer losses to them anymore. Later, after starting a garment factory and picking up a few moves from Zhu Yuanchao, Chen Gang and his group were no longer a match for Tang Jun. Initially, Chen Gang would eagerly spar with Tang Jun. But soon, not only Chen Gang, even with Chen Lie added, they were no match for Tang Jun. Tang Jun often used sparring as an excuse to give them a good beating, after all, they always picked on Sister Xiao Yue. After coming to the county for school, Chen Gang gave up, but Chen Lie often badmouthed Sister Xiao Yue. Tang Yue accompanied Granny Tang and Elder Mrs. Zhang for a walk around, just strolling nearby, also checking out what the streets of Jing City looked like. After getting married, she planned to take them to well-known spots in Jing City, making the trip worthwhile. "Grandma, Grandmother, over there, there are a lot of delicious things, shall we go eat together?" Tang Yue suggested. "Sure." Granny Tang and Elder Mrs. Zhang were very spirited, having taken the bus to the city and then the train to Jing City, they didn't get carsick or anything. A whole bunch of people were bustling about, with Tang Zhengyuan, Tang Mingli, and Zhao Youwei, all busy taking care of them, making sure no mishaps occurred outside. The whole family ambled along, and Tang Yue enthusiastically introduced them to delicious foods. They arrived at a famous Jing City hot pot restaurant; they were tired from walking and decided to eat there.
