Siheyuan: I am Banggeng's uncle

Chapter 896 The starving ghost is reincarnated!
Around four o'clock in the afternoon, the jeep stopped at the entrance of the alley where Tang Yanling's house was located. Bang Geng parked the car, took out two bottles of liquor from the back of the jeep, and said to Tang Jiansheng with a smile, "Uncle! My uncle saw that you like to drink this Moutai, so he specially asked me to bring two bottles back for you. You can take them home and drink them slowly. If you finish them, just tell me and I will go to my uncle's place to get you more."

When Tang Jiansheng saw the bag Banggeng was carrying and heard Banggeng's words, his gaze towards Banggeng, his future son-in-law, became extremely satisfied. He smiled and said to Banggeng, "Jiageng! Our family has come to your house as guests, and we've been eating and taking things. How can we accept this?"

Upon hearing Tang Jiansheng's words, Banggeng replied with a smile, "Uncle! Didn't my uncle say that we're family from now on? You can come to my house anytime you want to have a drink."

Bang Geng finished speaking, then turned around and pulled a bag from the trunk of the car. Smiling, he said to Wen Xiaorong, "Auntie! My mom knows you like fruit, and my uncle just bought a lot today, so she asked me to give you some of each kind. Take them home and eat them slowly. When you're done, have Yanling tell me, and I'll bring you more."

It's said that a mother-in-law likes her son-in-law more and more the more she looks at him. Today, when Wen Xiaorong visited the Jia family, she not only felt their hospitality but also truly witnessed their wealth and status. Her daughter's marriage into the Jia family was like falling into a honey pot, which made Wen Xiaorong even more satisfied with this son-in-law.

Upon hearing Banggeng's words and seeing the cloth bag he handed her, Wen Xiaorong happily said to Banggeng, "Jiageng! My dear in-laws, you're really something. The fruit we ate at your house today was clearly not ordinary fruit. Besides, we had already eaten quite a bit of fruit before the meal. Why did you still make me bring back so much fruit?"

Upon hearing Wen Xiaorong's words, Banggeng smiled and said to her, "Auntie! These fruits were brought back by my uncle. We don't know if they're expensive or not, but our family never lacks fruit. So if you want some in the future, just have Yanling tell me, and I'll bring you some more."

Upon hearing Banggeng's words, Wen Xiaorong said to him with a friendly expression, "Jiageng! You've been busy all day, so go back and rest now! When your mother asks for an auspicious date, remember to have Yanling let us know. As for getting the marriage certificate, I'll get it ready for Yanling when I go to work tomorrow. You two can choose a time to get the certificate."

Upon hearing Wen Xiaorong's instructions and learning that she had agreed to let them get their marriage certificate ahead of schedule, Banggeng's face immediately lit up with ecstatic joy. He happily said to Wen Xiaorong, "Auntie! Then when I go to work at the factory tomorrow, I'll get the marriage certificate ready, and then I'll have my mom choose a good day to go to the neighborhood office with Yanling to get the marriage certificate."

Bang Geng finished speaking and said to Tang Yanling with a happy expression, "Yanling! I'll go back first then. I'll come to the department store to find you after I get the certificate tomorrow."

After watching Bang Geng drive away in his jeep, Tang Guoqiang thought of the lunch he had at the Jia family's house that day. He instinctively patted his stomach and said to Wen Xiaorong with a wistful look, "Mom! My brother-in-law's cooking is so delicious! It's a pity my stomach is too small to hold so much good food. I wonder when I'll have the chance to eat it again..."

"You brat! All you do is eat, eat, eat! You've really made me lose face today!" Wen Xiaorong heard her youngest son's words and thought about how her two sons behaved at the Jia family's dinner. Her face immediately showed a look of disappointment and anger. She reached out and grabbed Tang Guoqiang's ear, scolding him with dissatisfaction.

Wen Xiaorong's actions caused Tang Guoqiang to feel a sharp pain in his ear. He immediately begged Wen Xiaorong for mercy, "Mom! It hurts! My ear hurts! You're going to tear my ear off! Let go!" Hearing Wen Xiaorong scold her youngest son, Tang Jiansheng immediately recalled his two sons' behavior at lunchtime. He raised his foot and kicked Tang Guohua in the backside, scolding him with exasperation, "Second son! You brat, you ate like a starving ghost! You've completely disgraced me in front of our in-laws! Wait till we get home, I'll see how I deal with you two!"

Considering the potential impact, Tang Jiansheng and his wife only vented their frustrations briefly before leading their family into the alley.

Soon, the Tang family entered the courtyard. The neighbors who were chatting in the courtyard saw the Tang family walking into the courtyard with happy faces. One of the neighbors immediately smiled and asked Tang Jiansheng, "Old Tang! You've come back from visiting Yanling's boyfriend's house? Judging from your happy faces, Yanling's marriage must have been settled, right?"

When Tang Jiansheng heard the neighbor's question and saw that all the neighbors were turning their attention to them, he smiled and replied, "Old Chen! Thank you for your concern. We have already discussed Yanling's marriage with her future in-laws, and now we are just waiting for them to send a matchmaker to propose marriage."

"Xiao Rong! Where does Yanling's boyfriend live? How many people are in his family? How many rooms does he have?" Upon hearing Tang Jiansheng's announcement, an older woman, thinking about the man's family's circumstances, immediately asked Wen Xiaorong with curiosity.

"Aunt Zhang! Yanling's family has a total of eight people, and the house has more than a dozen rooms, all of which are private houses." Tang Guoqing's wife, Wang Yali, heard the middle-aged woman's question and, thinking of the Jia family's conditions, proudly told the neighbors in the courtyard about the Jia family's housing conditions.

"My goodness! Eight people living in more than a dozen rooms, what kind of family has so many houses? And they're all private houses." Another middle-aged woman, upon learning about the Jia family's living conditions, showed a shocked expression and couldn't help but exclaim.

Hearing the middle-aged woman's remark, and thinking about the layout of the Jia family's house, Tang Jiansheng smiled and introduced to the neighbors in the courtyard: "Guo family's daughter-in-law! Although our Lingling's boyfriend's family does have a lot of rooms, their house is not as big as you imagine."

"My in-laws' house has many rooms mainly because their house has a high ceiling. So my in-laws' uncle hired a contractor to divide the house into two floors, which naturally increased the number of rooms. When we visited today, the contractor was helping with the house repairs at my in-laws' house. I've already asked him to come to my house tomorrow at noon to see if my house can be divided into two floors like my in-laws' house."
