Siheyuan: I am Banggeng's uncle

Chapter 877 The object of the stick joke!
Qin Huairu, who was setting out chopsticks inside, heard Banggeng's voice outside and immediately rushed out of the house, eagerly asking Banggeng, "Banggeng! What's the name of the girl you're talking about? What do her parents do?"

When Banggeng heard Qin Huairu ask about Tang Yanling's family situation, he immediately introduced her to Qin Huairu: "Mom! My girlfriend's name is Tang Yanling. She works at a department store. Her father works at a supply and marketing cooperative, and her mother is an accountant at the department store!"

"Bang Geng! You just said that your boyfriend's father works at a supply and marketing cooperative? What is your boyfriend's father's name? Which supply and marketing cooperative does he work at?" Lin Qiuyue interrupted Bang Geng before he could finish his explanation and asked him curiously.

Upon hearing Lin Qiuyue's question, Banggeng remembered that his aunt worked at the Chaoyang Supply and Marketing Cooperative. He quickly introduced her to Lin Qiuyue, saying, "Auntie! Yanling's father's name is Tang Jiansheng. He works at the Xicheng Supply and Marketing Cooperative."

Upon hearing Banggeng's explanation that Tang Yanling's father worked at the Xicheng Supply and Marketing Cooperative, Lin Qiuyue immediately smiled and said to Banggeng, "Banggeng! When you go to work tomorrow morning, I'll ask my friends at the Xicheng Supply and Marketing Cooperative to inquire about Tang Yanling's family situation. If it's suitable, I'll go out and find Tang Yanling's father to arrange your marriage."

"Dad! Mom! We're back!" Lin Qiuyue's words had barely faded when Jia Dongming's two children ran into the yard from outside. When Jia Anmin saw Jia Dongming and his wife, he immediately called out to them happily.

When Jia Anqing saw Jia Dongming and Lin Qiuyue, she ran straight to Jia Dongming, tilted her head up, looked at him, and said happily, "Dad! I got 97 points on the test the teacher gave us today, which is two points more than Anjing."

Upon hearing his daughter's words and seeing her happy expression, Jia Dongming picked her up and kissed her on the cheek. He said to her happily, "My dear daughter, you're amazing! You scored two points higher than your sister. How do you want Dad to reward you?"

Upon hearing Jia Dongming's question, Jia Anqing happily replied, "Dad! I want to eat the cream pudding and bubble tea you brought back last time."

Upon hearing his daughter's request, Jia Dongming immediately said happily to Jia Anqing, "My dear daughter wants to eat Cream Pudding No. 2 Milk Tea. Dad will definitely arrange it for you. When Dad gets home from get off work tomorrow, I will fulfill your wish."

Upon hearing Jia Dongming's promise, Jia Anqing immediately kissed him on the cheek and exclaimed joyfully, "Dad! I love you to death!"

Seeing how much Jia Dongming doted on his daughter, Lin Qiuyue complained to him, "Brother Dongming! If you spoil her like this every day, you'll spoil her rotten sooner or later."

Hearing Lin Qiuyue's complaints, Jia Dongming showed an indifferent expression and said to Lin Qiuyue with a smile, "Wife! If I don't spoil my daughter, who will?"

"Uncle! Uncle! I want to eat cream pudding and bubble tea too." Xiao Dang and Huaihua, the two sisters, pushed their bicycles into the yard from outside. When Xiao Huaihua heard the conversation between Jia Dongming and Jia Anqing, she immediately walked up to Jia Dongming and said to him with a hopeful look on her face.

Hearing Xiao Huaihua's request, Jia Dongming smiled and promised, "Yes! Yes! I'll bring them to you tomorrow." Xiao Dang parked her bicycle, remembering the conversation she'd overheard at the courtyard gate, and asked Lin Qiuyue curiously, "Auntie! I think I just heard you say you were going to arrange a marriage! Is someone in our family getting married?"

Hearing Xiao Dang's question and seeing Xiao Dang's curious expression, Lin Qiuyue smiled and introduced to Xiao Dang, "Xiao Dang! Your brother has a girlfriend. Her father also works at the supply and marketing cooperative. Your aunt is planning to ask around tomorrow. If it's a good match, we'll arrange your brother's marriage."

When Xiao Dang and Xiao Huaihua heard the news from Lin Qiuyue, their faces lit up with joy. Xiao Dang couldn't wait to ask Banggeng, "Brother! Is what my aunt said true? You really found us a sister-in-law?"

"Brother! What's my sister-in-law's name? Where does she work? Is she pretty?" Xiao Huaihua was also very happy to hear that she was about to have a sister-in-law, and she couldn't wait to ask Banggeng.

When Banggeng heard Xiaodang and Xiaohuaihua's question, he replied with a embarrassed look: "Xiaodang! Huaihua! My girlfriend's name is Tang Yanling. She works as a saleswoman in a department store. Her father works in a supply and marketing cooperative, just like your aunt, only in a different one."

Holding his daughter in his arms, Jia Dongming naturally thought about Bang Geng's upcoming wedding and the issue of their wedding home.

When Jia Dongming first moved to the courtyard house after being demobilized from the military, the house was quite large and the family was small, so the living conditions were very spacious. Now that the children have grown up, they all need their own private space, and the rooms in the house are no longer enough.

Thinking about the problem of not having enough houses, Jia Dongming felt it was necessary to build a few more rooms in the yard so that when the children grew up, they wouldn't have to worry about not having enough houses. So Jia Dongming took a walk around the yard and finally decided on the location of the pavilion.

"Dongming! Dinner's ready. What are you thinking about? You seem so engrossed in your thoughts." Just as Jia Dongming was looking at the pavilion in front of him, planning the layout of the courtyard in his mind, Lin Qiuyue came out of the house. Seeing Jia Dongming standing there in a daze, she walked up to him with a puzzled look and asked him curiously.

Upon hearing Lin Qiuyue's question, Jia Dongming looked at the house in front of him and said with a smile, "Qiuyue! Now that the children in the family have all grown up, they all need their own private space. Also, Banggeng is getting married soon, so I was thinking of tearing down this pavilion and building a few rooms in its place. That way, we won't have to worry about not having enough rooms."

Upon hearing Jia Dongming's reply and learning that he wanted to demolish the pavilion and build a few houses in the yard, Lin Qiuyue thought of her own vacant yard and asked Jia Dongming with a puzzled look, "Brother Dongming! If the houses here aren't enough, we can move to the yard on Gulou East Road. This pavilion is perfectly fine; wouldn't it be a waste to demolish it and build houses?"

Although the courtyard on Gulou East Road is large, Jia Dongming has gotten used to living there and has no desire to move. Moreover, given the current environment, it's not suitable for them to move there. In response to Lin Qiuyue's suggestion, Jia Dongming smiled and said to her, "Qiuyue! To avoid trouble, I've stayed at Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill for the past ten years, despite having several opportunities for advancement. In this environment, do you think we can move there?"
