Siheyuan: I am Banggeng's uncle

Chapter 892 From Humble Beginning to Prominence!
When Banggeng heard Tang Guoqiang's question and saw the expectant look on his face, he smiled and patted Tang Guoqiang's head, saying affectionately, "Guoqiang! I drove here today specifically to pick you up and take you to my home. I've prepared a lot of delicious food for you. You can watch TV and eat delicious food at my home."

When Tang Guoqiang heard Banggeng's reply, he learned that not only could they take a car to Banggeng's house today, but they could also eat delicious food and watch the TV program he had been longing for. He was overjoyed and jumped up and down with excitement. He asked Wen Xiaorong, "Mom! Why haven't Dad and my brother come out yet? Go and urge them, don't keep my brother-in-law waiting."

When Wen Xiaorong heard Tang Guoqiang's question and saw his impatient expression, she glared at him with exasperation and said, "You brat! If you want to urge him, go back inside and urge him yourself. Don't use your brother-in-law as an excuse."

Urged on by Tang Guoqiang, Tang Jiansheng and Tang Guoqing, carrying the things they had prepared in advance, quickly came out of the house.

Upon seeing Tang Jiansheng and the others, Banggeng quickly and politely greeted them, saying, "Uncle! Good morning! Big brother! Sister-in-law! Good morning!"

While Tang Jiansheng was inside, he overheard the conversation outside and learned that Bang Geng had come to pick them up by car. In response to Bang Geng's greeting, Tang Jiansheng asked him with a friendly expression, "Jia Geng! Didn't I tell Yanling to tell you to just wait for us at Tongluoguxiang? Why did you have to come all this way yourself?"

Upon hearing Tang Jiansheng's words, Banggeng immediately smiled and introduced to Tang Jiansheng, "Uncle! My uncle said that your house is quite far from ours, and it's not very convenient for your whole family to take the bus, so he asked me to drive his car to pick you up."

When Tang Jiansheng learned that Jia Dongming had arranged for Bang Geng to pick them up, he felt particularly proud. He then asked Tang Guoqing and his wife, "Guoqing! Yali! Did you bring everything I asked you to bring? If you did, let's set off!"

Upon hearing Tang Jiansheng's question, Tang Guoqing waved the bag in his hand at Tang Jiansheng and replied with a smile, "Dad! We've packed everything we needed to."

Upon hearing Tang Guoqing's reply and seeing the bag in Tang Guoqing's hand, Tang Jiansheng nodded and said, "Then, let's set off!"

"Old Tang! Judging from your family's appearance, are you going to visit your future son-in-law's family?" As soon as the Tang family members reached the front yard, the neighbors living in the front yard saw that the Tang family members were all wearing new clothes that they rarely wore, carrying two bags in their hands, and walking towards the gate with their families. One of the neighbors immediately asked Tang Jiansheng curiously.

Hearing the neighbors' questions and seeing their curious expressions, Tang Jiansheng smiled and introduced them to everyone: "Old Chen! This is Jia Geng, the boyfriend of our Lingling. He is a driver at Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill. Today we're going to Jia Geng's house for a visit and to discuss the marriage between our Lingling and Jia Geng with his elders."

The news that Tang Jiansheng's daughter had found a boyfriend who was a driver at the Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill had already spread throughout the courtyard when Bang Geng visited Tang Yanling's home last week. In response to Tang Jiansheng's introduction, another neighbor asked Tang Jiansheng curiously, "Old Tang! Where does Lingling's boyfriend live? Are you planning to walk there?"

Hearing the neighbor's question, and recalling Bang Geng's act of driving to pick them up earlier that day, Tang Jiansheng's face immediately lit up with a smug expression. He replied with a smile, "Old Guo! Lingling's boyfriend lives in Tongluoguxiang. We originally planned to take the bus, but Lingling's boyfriend's elders felt it would be inconvenient for us to take the bus with the whole family, so they asked Lingling's boyfriend to drive and pick us up." The neighbors in the courtyard, who had initially thought Tang Yanling's boyfriend was just an ordinary driver, were all shocked to learn from Tang Jiansheng's introduction that he had actually driven to pick up the Tang family. They also realized that Tang Jiansheng's son-in-law's family was probably not an ordinary one.

"Accountant Wen! These days, families with cars are mostly cadre families. Your Lingling is really going to rise to the top this time. Don't forget your old neighbors when your family becomes successful!" A woman, upon learning that Tang Jiansheng's son-in-law had actually driven to pick up the Tang family, showed an envious expression on her face and quickly asked Wen Xiaorong with a smile.

Although the Tang family couldn't compare to the Jia family, at least five members of the Tang family had formal jobs. So when the older woman used the phrase "rising to the top" to describe her daughter, Wen Xiaorong felt somewhat dissatisfied and replied, "Aunt Qiu! It's their business if Lingling's boyfriend's family is well-off. It has little to do with our family. If our family really becomes successful, we will definitely help them as long as we've been neighbors for many years."

Having said that, Wen Xiaorong immediately changed the subject and said to Tang Jiansheng, "Husband! It's getting late, let's hurry up and set off, so as not to keep our in-laws waiting."

Upon hearing Wen Xiaorong's words, Tang Jiansheng immediately understood their meaning and smiled, saying to Bang Geng, "Jia Geng! Let's set off then!"

Soon, amidst the envious and jealous gazes of their neighbors, the Tang family members walked out of the gate and headed towards the alley entrance.

Bang Geng pointed to the car parked by the roadside, and thinking of the number of people in the Tang family, he said somewhat embarrassedly to Tang Jiansheng and Wen Xiaorong, "Uncle! Aunt! There aren't enough seats in the car, so I'll have to trouble you to squeeze in later."

Upon hearing Bang Geng's words and seeing the jeep parked by the roadside, Tang Jiansheng smiled and replied, "No problem! Let your older brother and sister-in-law squeeze in at the front, and the rest of us will sit in the back."

After getting into the jeep, Bang Geng quickly started it and drove the Tang family members towards Tongluoguxiang.

Sitting on Tang Guohua's lap, Tang Guoqiang watched Banggeng intently driving the jeep, his face filled with undisguised admiration. He said to Banggeng, "Brother-in-law! When I grow up, I want to be a driver too."

Upon hearing Tang Guoqiang's words, Banggeng smiled and said to Tang Guoqiang, "Guoqiang! If you want to learn to drive, then come find your brother-in-law when you grow up, and he will teach you how to drive."
