Siheyuan: I am Banggeng's uncle

Chapter 878 A Doting Daughter!
Upon hearing Jia Dongming's reply, Lin Qiuyue remembered his identity and the current situation. She could only nod helplessly and reply, "Brother Dongming! You're right. In the current environment, it's best for us to keep a low profile."

Upon hearing Lin Qiuyue's reply and thinking about his plans for the future, Jia Dongming smiled and said to Lin Qiuyue, "Alright! Let's not worry about these things anymore, let's go eat!"

The next morning around 8 a.m., Lin Qiuyue finished her work, reached for the phone on her desk, shook the handset vigorously, and then picked up the receiver. She said politely, "Is this the switchboard? This is Chaoyang Supply and Marketing Cooperative. Could you please connect me to Deputy Director Zhang from Xicheng Supply and Marketing Cooperative?"

"Hello! This is Zhang Huiqin. May I ask who this is?" The call was quickly connected, and a middle-aged woman's polite voice came through the phone.

Hearing the familiar voice on the phone, Lin Qiuyue immediately greeted the other party with a smile, "Sister Zhang! Good morning! This is Lin Qiuyue from the Chaoyang branch. I went to the head office for a meeting last week, and I didn't see you. What have you been busy with all this time?"

Upon hearing Lin Qiuyue's self-introduction, Zhang Huiqin on the other end of the phone showed a surprised expression. She greeted Lin Qiuyue with a smile, saying, "I thought it was someone else calling me, but it turns out to be our Director Lin! I wonder what instructions Director Lin has for me so early in the morning?"

Upon hearing Zhang Huiqin's question, Lin Qiuyue realized the real reason she had called Zhang Huiqin and immediately smiled and said to Zhang Huiqin, "Sister Zhang! I called you so early in the morning mainly to ask you about someone's situation?"

Upon hearing Lin Qiuyue's answer, Zhang Huiqin's face showed a puzzled expression again. Curious, she asked Lin Qiuyue, "Director Lin! Whom do you want to inquire about? As long as I know them, I promise I'll tell you everything I know!"

Upon hearing Zhang Huiqin's reply, Lin Qiuyue smiled and explained to Zhang Huiqin, "Sister Zhang! Here's the situation: my husband's nephew has a girlfriend. The girl's father is named Tang Jiansheng, and he works at your branch office. The reason I suddenly called you today is to ask you about the girl's family situation."

When Zhang Huiqin heard Lin Qiuyue mention Tang Jiansheng's name, a look of surprise appeared on her face. She smiled and asked Lin Qiuyue to confirm, "Director Lin! What did you say? Director Jia's nephew is dating Old Tang's daughter? Is that true?"

Hearing Zhang Huiqin's question and sensing the surprise in Zhang Huiqin's words, Lin Qiuyue was very puzzled and asked Zhang Huiqin curiously, "Sister Zhang! Why are you so surprised to hear that Tang Jiansheng's daughter is dating my nephew? What's going on?"

Upon hearing Lin Qiuyue's question, Zhang Huiqin realized that her reaction had caused Lin Qiuyue's misunderstanding. She quickly smiled and explained to Lin Qiuyue, "Director Lin! You don't know, Old Tang and I are neighbors living in the same compound. He has four children in total, and Tang Yanling is his only daughter. Because of this, he cherishes his daughter very much."

“When Tang Yanling was in school, he personally took her to and from school every day. If he didn’t have time, he would arrange for Tang Yanling’s brother to do it. After Tang Yanling started working, he kept an even closer eye on her and often reminded her at home not to find a partner casually, for fear that she would be deceived by that young man with blond hair.”

"If Old Tang knew that his little darling was secretly dating Director Jia's nephew, I reckon his blood pressure would skyrocket, and he might even take leave and rush to the department store to see his wife and daughter." Upon hearing Zhang Huiqin's description, Lin Qiuyue immediately realized that Tang Yanling's father was definitely a doting father. Thinking of her own husband's love for their daughter, Lin Qiuyue completely understood Tang Jiansheng's thoughts and said to Zhang Huiqin with a smile, "Sister Zhang! My husband is the same way. He's very serious with my son, but he's incredibly doting on my little daughter."

"In my husband's words, a daughter is her father's lover from a past life! So a daughter should be raised in luxury so that she can develop independent judgment and values ​​and avoid being deceived by those young punks with small favors. So it is only natural that Tang Jiansheng would react this way."

Upon hearing Lin Qiuyue's explanation, Zhang Huiqin's face showed surprise. She smiled and said to Lin Qiuyue, "Director Lin! I originally thought that only Old Tang was a doting father, but I didn't expect that our Director Jia is also a doting father."

Hearing Zhang Huiqin's joke, Lin Qiuyue remembered the purpose of her visit and said to Zhang Huiqin with a smile, "Sister Zhang! My nephew and Tang Yanling have been dating for two or three months. The two young people like each other, so I would like to ask you to help me find a match for my nephew."

Zhang Huiqin was not surprised to hear Lin Qiuyue's words. She smiled and asked Lin Qiuyue, "Director Lin! Could you tell me more about your nephew's situation? That way I can help you bring this up with Old Tang."

Upon hearing Zhang Huiqin's words, Lin Qiuyue immediately smiled and said to Zhang Huiqin, "Sister Zhang! That's only right. My nephew's name is Jia Geng. He is a level four driver at Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill. His monthly salary is sixty-five yuan, not including the allowance for driving on weekdays. He has two rooms at home, and they are his private house."

“My nephew’s two houses are connected to my family’s yard. After my wife found out that Jia Geng was dating someone, she planned to find a construction team to build a few more houses next to those two houses. That way, when the two of them have children in the future, they won’t have to worry about not having enough room to live.”

"As for my brother-in-law, he passed away in 1961 due to a work injury. My sister-in-law took over his job and is now the deputy director of the logistics warehouse of the steel rolling mill. My husband only has one brother, so his family has always lived with us. Even if Jia Geng gets married in the future, they will still live with us."

“Driver! That’s a good job. Although your father is gone, with your help and Director Jia’s, the conditions are indeed much better than others. Even with these conditions, it’s already much better than Old Tang’s family. I’ll go find Old Tang for you later and talk to him about this matter.” After learning about Bang Geng’s specific situation, Zhang Huiqin immediately agreed to help Bang Geng with this matchmaking.

Upon hearing Zhang Huiqin's promise, Lin Qiuyue quickly thanked her, saying, "Sister Zhang! Then I thank you on behalf of my husband."
