Rebirth in 1986: Unforgettable Regrets novel Chapter 973

Chapter 973: Chapter 973: New Year Picture Dolls

On the last day of the twelfth lunar month, firecrackers crackled loudly. Couplet and door gods were pasted up, and Lian Qingyang also bought big red lanterns. Once the variety of lanterns were hung in the courtyard, the New Year’s atmosphere instantly emerged.

In the kitchen, Tang Yue and Mo Xiaolin, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law pair, were preparing the New Year’s Eve dinner, while Lian Qingyang and Wu Xin helped out.

Bai Qing and Lian Tong were chatting in the living room while taking care of the three children.

Lian Tong was about to give birth soon, so when it came to talking about children, there was endless chatter.

Meng Jin and Lian He accompanied Old Sir Lian in conversation.

Mr. Meng was not in good health, and they had already spent a simple holiday with him at noon.

Originally, Tang Yue wanted to invite Sun Qing and her sisters over, but the Sun Qing sisters declined.

"Has Si Yu come back yet?" Tang Yue stepped outside, checked the time, and heard occasional firecrackers outside while the festive broadcast of the Spring Festival Gala was about to start on TV.

"Not yet," Meng Jin replied, "Perhaps there are many things at the company today, so he hasn’t returned yet."

"Then let’s wait a bit longer," Tang Yue said as she returned to the kitchen. All the dishes had been prepared and were being kept warm in the steamer, waiting for Meng Siyu to come back so they could start the meal.

Lian Qingyang was particularly happy and excited today. This year was his happiest and most blissful one.

He had found his biological mother, and Tang Yue had also become his sister. It was a dream come true for him to spend the New Year with his sister. In his spare time, he roamed around with a camera taking photos.

Unfortunately, his mom had returned to Wangjiang County, otherwise, it would’ve truly felt like a family celebration for the New Year.

The sound of a car was heard as Meng Siyu hurried home at five o’clock.

After greeting everyone, Meng Siyu went straight to the kitchen. Seeing Tang Yue busy, he washed his hands and started helping by serving the soup and dishes.

The gathering included the couples of Meng Jin, Bai Qing, and Xiao Bai, Old Sir Lian, Lian He and Lian Tong with her spouse, Wu Xin, and Tang Yue with her spouse, totaling fourteen people, including three young children, all gathered around a big round table.

Zaozao and Chenchen lay in a nearby baby crib.

On a small barrel stool, Xiao Bai sat with a small bowl in his arms, eating with a little spoon, appearing particularly well-behaved.

Everyone enjoyed a lively meal, and at 7:30, Tang Yue sat in front of the TV, waiting for the Spring Festival Gala to begin.

Earlier that morning, Xie Ni had called, telling her that her program would be aired around eight o’clock and asked her to watch it.

Tang Yue glanced at the time and, seeing that it was still early, decided to sit back and enjoy the Spring Festival Gala.

Nobody left; they all sat on the sofa, chatting and watching the time slip by. When Xie Ni came on stage, everyone spontaneously stopped talking, directing their attention to Xie Ni.

Xie Ni wore a long red dress with a V-neck design that elegantly revealed her beautiful collarbone. Around her neck was jewelry by Kaya, whom Lucy had previously secured as Huaxia’s spokesperson. Her hairstyle was simple, with a classic design that complemented her dress. Her beauty shone through the TV.

Meng Jin accompanied Mo Xiaolin back to their room, and then the family of four tucked the children in bed.

Tang Yue took out clothes to size them against the two children, both wearing bright red little jackets with a band of rabbit fur around the collar and cuffs, meticulously chosen by Tang Yue to ensure none came loose when worn.

In terms of style, the two outfits had only slight differences, with a set of red traditional-style jackets that looked incredibly cute just sitting there.

"Xiao Yue, do you really want to dress them up like New Year dolls?" Meng Siyu exclaimed at the cuteness of the two outfits, as they were festive and beautiful to wear.

"If you don’t like it, I won’t dress them in it," Tang Yue pretended to put them away.

Meng Siyu quickly grabbed them, immediately dressing Chenchen in one. Chenchen’s fair skin matched the bright red traditional outfit, making him look like a lively New Year doll, much to Meng Siyu’s delight.

"Stay put, Xiao Yue," Meng Siyu suddenly dashed out like a gust of wind.

Tang Yue was bewildered, unsure of his intentions. Seeing her daughter dressed so beautifully, she felt inspired to dress Zaozao in an identical jacket. Both babies together melted Tang Yue’s heart!

Even though she had lived for many years, at this moment, Tang Yue was still enchanted by her two adorable children. Standing by the bed, she was eager to capture this moment with a photo.

A ’click’ sound, followed by a flash of light, made Tang Yue turn her head.

"I borrowed the camera from Qingyang. Of course, we have to capture them when they look this pretty," Meng Siyu said as he continued snapping pictures of the two children. Inspired, Tang Yue joined the photoshoot, sitting between the children and striking various poses until the roll of film was used up. Only then did she realize, "I forgot to have one taken with you!"
