Siheyuan: I am Banggeng's uncle

Chapter 750 A Happy Qin Huairu!
After leaving Li Huaide's office with the letter of introduction, Jia Dongming did not immediately return to his own office. Instead, he quickly went to the door of the logistics warehouse office and saw a group of women chatting inside. He called out to Qin Huairu, "Huairu! Come out here for a moment."

A group of women who were chatting heard Jia Dongming's shouts from outside the office. One of the women immediately said to Qin Huairu, "Huairu! Director Jia is here. Hurry up and go see what he wants to see you about?"

At that moment, Qin Huairu also heard Jia Dongming's shout. She turned her head and saw Jia Dongming standing outside the office door. She immediately remembered what Jia Dongming had said at home when he went to work that morning. She quickly stood up from her desk, walked to the office door, and asked Jia Dongming with a look of anticipation, "Brother Dongming! What do you need me for?"

Upon hearing Qin Huairu's question, Jia Dongming, remembering the purpose of his visit, smiled and introduced to Qin Huairu, "Huairu! I've already arranged things for Banggeng. Director Li said he'll assign Banggeng to work in the factory office and promised to give him a cadre position when the time is right."

"Considering that the current environment is not very good, and Banggeng is not mature enough, if Banggeng goes to work in the factory office, he may be taken advantage of by others in the future. So I refused Director Li's offer and decided to send Banggeng to the motorcade to learn driving skills from Xiaopeng."

"You should ask your supervisor for leave now and go home quickly to bring Banggeng to the factory. I'll take Banggeng to the vehicle team to complete the onboarding procedures later. Also, remember to tell Mom not to show off in the yard that Banggeng is working at the steel rolling mill. It will have a very bad influence."

When Jia Dongming learned that Banggeng was going to work in the factory office and would have the opportunity to become a cadre in the future, she was incredibly excited. However, before she could even process this news, what Jia Dongming said next undoubtedly made her feel extremely depressed.

However, considering the current situation, Qin Huairu knew that Jia Dongming's arrangement was entirely for Banggeng's sake, so she quickly nodded and replied, "Brother Dongming! I understand. I'll ask our director for leave right now, and then ride my bike home to bring Banggeng to the factory."

After asking the head of the logistics warehouse for leave, Qin Huairu immediately rode her bicycle back to the courtyard house happily. When she pushed her bicycle into the courtyard, Yang Ruihua and the others who were chatting in the front yard all showed curious expressions when they saw Qin Huairu running back at this time. Yang Ruihua asked Qin Huairu curiously, "Huairu! It's not time to get off work yet, why did you run back at this time?"

Ever since learning about the rural resettlement policy, Qin Huairu had been worried that once Banggeng turned sixteen, would he also have to go to the countryside according to the policy? Originally, Qin Huairu was thinking of discussing this issue with Jia Dongming when she accompanied him that night, but unexpectedly, Jia Dongming thought of the issue first and solved it within a day.

Hearing Yang Ruihua's question, Qin Huairu was in a good mood. Remembering Jia Dongming's previous instructions, she smiled and replied, "Aunt Yang! I have something to do, so I took leave to come back. I need to go back to the factory to work soon."

Qin Huairu finished speaking and, without giving Yang Ruihua and the others a chance to ask further questions, pushed her bicycle and headed towards the Central Court.

A group of children playing in the courtyard saw Qin Huairu pushing her bicycle and Xiao Huaihua watching Xiao Dang and the others jump rope. Upon seeing Qin Huairu return, they ran up to her with joyful faces and asked happily, "Mom! Why are you back at this time?"

When Qin Huairu saw Xiao Huaihua running up to her, she pushed her bicycle to the eaves of the Jia family's house and parked it before asking Xiao Huaihua, "Huaihua! Where's your brother?"

Upon hearing Qin Huairu's question, Xiao Huaihua immediately introduced, "Mom! My brother is reading in his room. Is there something you need him for? I'll go back to his room and call him for you."

When Qin Huairu heard Xiao Huaihua's question, she didn't tell Xiao Huaihua why she came back. Instead, she said to Xiao Huaihua, "Huaihua! You don't need to help Mom call him. You play here with Xiao Dang. Mom will go home to find your brother."

As Qin Huairu spoke, she picked up her cloth bag and walked into the courtyard through the gate. She saw Jia Zhangshi sewing shoe soles in the pavilion in the courtyard and called out to her own house, "Bang Geng! Come out here right now."

When Jia Zhangshi saw Qin Huairu suddenly run back from work, and immediately call for her eldest grandson, she immediately remembered what Jia Dongming had said that morning. Curious, she asked Qin Huairu, "Huairu! Why did you come back at this hour? Has Dongming already arranged for Banggeng to learn to drive at the steel mill?" Hearing Jia Zhangshi's question, Qin Huairu thought of her beloved son, who wouldn't have to go to the countryside after he grew up, and nodded happily, replying, "Mom! Brother Dongming has already arranged for Banggeng to learn to drive at the factory. He told me to come back and take Banggeng to the factory to complete the onboarding procedures. However, Dongming specifically instructed that if anyone in the compound asks what Banggeng is doing at the factory, we should say that Banggeng is learning to drive with his uncle. As for Banggeng's onboarding at the steel mill, we absolutely mustn't tell anyone."

When Madam Jia learned that her eldest grandson would soon be able to get a stable job at the steel mill as a driver, one of the eight key employees, she was overjoyed. She quickly nodded and replied, "Huai Ru! Dong Ming already told me this morning. I know the importance of this matter and I certainly won't talk about it in the yard."

"Mom! Why are you back at this hour? Did you call me for something?" Bang Geng, who was reading in the house and had seen her sleeping, came out of the house after hearing Qin Huairu's call. She looked at the happy mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in front of her with a confused expression and asked Qin Huairu curiously.

Seeing that Banggeng was still half asleep, Qin Huairu immediately instructed him, "Banggeng! Go wash your face, change into clean clothes, and come with me to the factory to complete your onboarding procedures."

"Mom! What did you say? I can go to the factory today to learn to drive with my uncle? Is this true?" Bang Geng, who was not fully awake, couldn't believe his ears when he heard Qin Huairu's instructions. He asked Qin Huairu with an incredulous look on his face.

Upon hearing Banggeng's question and seeing his incredulous expression, Qin Huairu happily reminded him, "Banggeng! Your uncle has already arranged for you to go to the factory to learn how to drive. He asked me to come back and take you there to complete the onboarding procedures."

Once Banggeng was sure he hadn't misheard, a look of ecstatic joy appeared on his face. He quickly turned and ran into the house, calling out to Qin Huairu, "Mom! Wait for me a moment, I'll be right out."

Banggeng quickly changed his clothes and came out of the house, happily saying to Qin Huairu, "Mom! Let's go!"

Upon hearing Banggeng's words, Qin Huairu remembered Jia Dongming's instructions and reminded Banggeng, "Banggeng! If the people in the compound ask you where you're going, just say you're staying at home and have nothing to do, so you're going to learn to drive with your uncle. As for your job at the factory, you absolutely mustn't mention it to the people in the compound."

Upon hearing Qin Huairu's instructions, Banggeng recalled Jia Dongming's words to Jia Zhangshi that morning and vaguely understood the reason behind it. He quickly assured Qin Huairu, "Mom! Don't worry, I promise I won't tell anyone in the compound about my job at the steel mill."

"Huai Ru! You suddenly came back. Where are you taking Bang Geng?" Qin Huai Ru pushed her bicycle and led Bang Geng out of the yard. Yang Rui Hua saw this and asked Qin Huai Ru again.

Upon hearing Yang Ruihua's question, Qin Huairu, thinking of the Yan family's character, introduced as she walked: "Aunt Yang! Isn't Banggeng's cousin a driver at the steel mill? Banggeng's uncle saw that Banggeng was idle at home all day, so he let Banggeng learn to drive from his cousin."

"What! Taking Bang Geng to learn to drive? Bang Geng is so young, can he even lift the steering wheel?" Yang Ruihua was shocked when she heard Qin Huairu's news. Then, her shock was replaced by envy, and she asked Qin Huairu with a face full of curiosity.

When Qin Huairu heard Yang Ruihua's question and saw the surprised expressions of the older women and young wives in the courtyard, she smiled and explained, "It's just that Banggeng is going to learn first, not that he's going to start driving right away."
