Rebirth in 1986: Unforgettable Regrets novel Chapter 119

Chapter 119: Chapter 119 Deng Yong (Second Update)

"Xiao Yue, where shall we go first?" Tang Mingli looked at the vastness of Shenzhen. Without mentioning anything else, the train station alone was far more imposing than in Provincial City. Seeing them carrying their bundles, many people came up to chat, speaking in Shenzhen’s dialect. Tang Mingli defensively turned them down.

He couldn’t even distinguish east from west, let alone know who to ask.

"Let’s look for a bus," Tang Yue’s gaze was searching. If she remembered correctly, there was a bus station right outside the train station.

Wei Jiajia agreed, "That’s right. Let’s go find a bus now. The place you mentioned—let’s go see it and figure out which bus to take."

Wei Jiajia had been here many times and confidently led the uncle and niece to find the bus, successfully getting on board.

Tang Mingli was seeing a two-section electric bus for the first time and was momentarily astonished. However, seeing that neither Wei Jiajia nor Tang Yue showed any surprise, he tried to remind himself that Shenzhen and Provincial City were very different. He shouldn’t compare everything with Provincial City.

Nor should he make a big fuss about it.

Indeed, Tang Mingli spent the following time observing more than speaking.

Wei Jiajia introduced the places she knew, even mentioning where she restocked her goods, located in the same area as Deng Yong. Although in the same area, it might still require a bus ride to get there.

They headed straight for the address Deng Lanhua had given them. Tang Mingli’s responsibility was to protect Tang Yue and Wei Jiajia, while the two women were in charge of navigating. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

Since disembarking the train, they had been so busy they had forgotten about breakfast. It wasn’t until they got near where Deng Yong lived that Tang Yue’s stomach began to grumble with hunger.

Tang Mingli made an immediate decision to have breakfast first.

Each person enjoyed a bowl of hot wonton soup, the steamy wontons making them break into a sweat. Tang Mingli verified the address with Tang Yue several times before finally locating the tube-shaped apartment building where Deng Yong lived.

Inside the tube-shaped building, there were many floors, clothes drying densely on each layer. The rooms seemed small, and houses were built everywhere. Compared to the spaciousness of the county, it was very crowded here, as if there were people everywhere.

"Xiao Yue, Jiajia, how about you wait for me downstairs?" Tang Mingli inquired.

Tang Yue shook her head, "No, we’ll go up together."

It was always better to stick together than to get separated. Besides, they had come to find Deng Yong, and now that they had arrived, there was no need to wait downstairs.

They went up to the third floor, to the seventh room. Tang Mingli, with a nervous heart, knocked on the door.

"Who is it?" A woman’s voice came from inside.

Tang Mingli had a sinking feeling in his heart.

Tang Yue immediately stepped forward to speak, "Are you Deng Lanhua’s sister-in-law? We’re here on behalf of Deng Lanhua to find her older brother, Deng Yong."

The door opened, revealing a round face with round eyes, and somewhat dark skin, with blackheads on her nose; she was holding a child in her arms.

Wei Jiajia hadn’t recovered from the address of ’little aunt’ and thus hadn’t spoken until her eyes fell on the two beautiful pieces of clothing. With her years of experience in the clothing industry, she knew that these clothes would definitely be profitable if they were made.

Wei Jiajia wanted to ask a few questions, but since Wu Lian was there, she suppressed the excitement in her heart, regretting internally that she didn’t look at what Tang Yue brought on the train earlier.

Wei Jiajia thought so, wishing time would pass more quickly.

It was almost noon when Deng Yong returned. He bore a resemblance to Deng Lanhua by five points, but his features were more masculine, and he was quite tall. Seeing Tang Mingli standing at his doorstep, he recognized him instantly and asked, "Are you Tang Mingli?"

In the fast-food restaurant near the apartment building, Tang Mingli ordered several dishes. No matter what, this matter involved cooperation between two families.

Wei Jiajia still worried whether it would be inappropriate for her to listen, but Tang Yue quietly said, "Sister Jiajia, don’t worry. Since my uncle asked you to come, he surely won’t exclude you from listening."

Wei Jiajia’s face turned red again.

Tang Yue did not speak further. Before they came, she had already discussed with her uncle about talking over the fabric first, then inquiring about the sewing machine.

Tang Mingli had sold clothes for such a long time that he had developed quite a way with words. Through the meal, Tang Mingli and Tang Yue also generally figured out that Deng Yong was reliable, not someone who made empty promises without taking action.

After lunch, Tang Mingli followed Deng Yong to look at his fabric shop. His shop wasn’t big, and he was actively delivering fabric to various factories every day, then making some profit from it.

Deng Yong relied on being hardworking and willing to endure hard times. As for some stock that had been pressed for too long, he would take some back to Deng Lanhua, helping his sister while also clearing some inventory.
