Rebirth in 1986: Unforgettable Regrets-Chapter 1178: I’ll Go (Fifth Update)

Tang Yue, after finishing the interview, immediately returned to the studio. She rubbed her stiff smiling face, feeling that she was not fitting for this role; if she had to keep smiling all the time, she’d be exhausted.

"Sister, others can only dream of this," Jin Yan admired Tang Yue and said, "If someday I can hold a fashion show of my own, I’d feel my life was well worth living."

"You’ll have the chance."

Tang Yue praised, "Xiao Yan, you are very talented. In time, you will surely be able to organize a fashion show that belongs to you."

"Really?" Jin Yan was somewhat skeptical.

A fashion show is really not as simple as just talking about it, Jin Yan knew deep down the gap between her and that.

"Of course you can." Tang Yue assuredly said, "Xiao Yan, your designs are full of creativity; what’s lacking is just the accumulation of time. As long as you keep working hard for a few more years, opportunities will come."

"But sister, you aren’t much older than me, are you?" Jin Yan looked at Tang Yue and then touched her own face, realizing there wasn’t much age difference between herself and Tang Yue.

Tang Yue blinked and smiled, without explaining.

"By the way, I’m planning to visit Sun Rou today, do you want to come?" Tang Yue changed the subject.

Yuan Yu previously took quite a few clothes from Sun Rou to donate to the children of Changshui Village. Sun Rou called again, saying she still had some clothes and shoes she wanted to give to the kids.

Tang Yue thought she was free now, and decided to go herself, treating it as a small outing.

"My mom wants me to go home." Jin Yan felt a bit scared when she thought of Mrs. Jin.

After returning home that day, Mrs. Jin dragged Jin Yan into the room and asked, "Jin Yan, explain to me, are you pregnant?"

Mrs. Jin kept staring at Jin Yan’s flat stomach.

"No." Jin Yan quickly denied, thinking even if something happened, it would only be revealed after marriage, so she was very certain there’s nothing now.

"Then did you have relations?" Mrs. Jin pressed Jin Yan, not letting go of even the smallest expression on her daughter’s face.

Jin Yan hesitantly denied, and Mrs. Jin immediately understood, she glared, saying, "Jin Yan, how many times did I warn you?"

"Mom, I was wrong." Jin Yan bowed her head, showing a meek, apologetic look.

Mrs. Jin scolded Jin Yan fiercely, "You’re sure you’re not pregnant?"

After scolding, Mrs. Jin felt Jin Yan was still hiding something from her.

"No." Not now.

Jin Yan affirmed, almost swearing an oath.

Mrs. Jin thought for a moment, saying, "Well, young people can be impulsive but that’s normal."

Mrs. Jin looked at her beautiful daughter; so lovely and in love with Lian Qingyang, already engaged — inevitable temptations arise in such circumstances.

"You’re getting married soon, so don’t spend the night outside anymore, understand?" Mommy Jin reminded her repeatedly. Since then, Mrs. Jin called Jin Yan every day, urging her to return home.

If Jin Yan weren’t busy at the studio, Mrs. Jin would have wanted Jin Yan to take leave and stay home peacefully, preparing for marriage. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

"Xiao Yan, hardship for you." Tang Yue patted Jin Yan’s shoulder, saying, "Why don’t I give you half a month’s leave to rest at home?"

"No, sister, if I stay home every day, I’d get sick of my mom’s nagging!" Jin Yan shivered at the thought, preferring to stay busy.

Tang Yue smiled without saying much, but in her heart she knew she’d give Jin Yan a month’s leave around marriage time, to avoid complaints from the Jin Family and likely even Lian Qingyang.

After separating from Jin Yan, Tang Yue headed straight to Sun Rou’s shop.

Sun Rou was organizing clothes and shoes; they were new but had been in the shop for quite some time. She said, "Sister Xiao Yue, these clothes and shoes are new, suitable for the kids, even though they’re last year’s and the year before’s styles—old in design but new in condition."

Although Sun Rou’s store business was good, over the years it accumulated some stocks.

It’s lucky Sun Rou often donated clothes to orphanages, otherwise there’d be even more.

"Well, thank you on behalf of the children." Tang Yue looked over the clothes and shoes, accepting Sun Rou’s goodwill as a positive act.

Not only Sun Rou, but Tang Yue also planned to donate uniforms to Changshui Village, announcing them as free gifts — two sets for each child — ensuring they don’t lack clothing; now the real shortage is teachers.

Even with higher salaries, many teachers were unwilling once informed about the remote area, lacking roads.

Arriving at such a village is akin to isolation.

"Sister Xiao Yue, how are your brother’s eyes now? Are they healed?" Sun Rou inquired.

Tang Yue hadn’t received any news lately, so likely Tang Jun’s eyes weren’t healed yet. She said, "Not healed yet, but I’m sure they will be."

Sun Rou continued asking about Changshui Village, discussing the teacher shortage when Gu Hang walked in, saying, "Where are teachers needed?"

Gu Hang had visited frequently, thus becoming familiar.

Tang Yue seemed to think of something, "Changshui Village is lacking teachers; would Teacher Gu be interested? Salaries are high, but conditions are harsh."

First met Gu Hang when he was teaching in a remote village.

If Gu Hang agrees to go, given his excellent performance, there’d be no worry over the children’s academic achievements.

"How long would it take?" Gu Hang glanced at Sun Rou, eager to go but also wanting to settle down and establish a family.

Tang Yue pondered briefly, "Currently, there’s no road built yet, which is why no one’s willing to go, plus no school building. If roads and schools exist, more teachers would definitely come, at most within a year."

"I’ll go." Gu Hang said without hesitation.

A year is doable, and it’s possible to return, why not?

"Really?" Tang Yue’s eyes lit up, understanding the profound impact a good teacher can have on children; Gu Hang’s willingness was very exciting.

"As true as can be." Finished speaking, Gu Hang instinctively looked at Sun Rou.

Sun Rou smiled approvingly, saying, "Gu Hang, your willingness to teach them is excellent, can I visit Teacher Gu in the future?"
