Siheyuan: I am Banggeng's uncle

Chapter 904 Tang Yanling's Versailles!
"The bride and groom enter the bridal chamber!"

As the emcee finished speaking, the wedding ceremony officially came to an end. Bang Geng and Tang Yanling, surrounded by their groomsmen and bridesmaids, walked into their new home.

After Banggeng escorted Tang Yanling into the new house, he immediately smiled and instructed Tang Yanling, "Yanling! You and Liu Juan rest in the house for a while. Er Mao and I will go out and help move the tables and chairs."

Upon hearing Banggeng's instructions, Tang Yanling immediately asked him, "Jiageng! Should we all go out and help?"

When Banggeng heard Tang Yanling's question, he replied with a smile, "Yanling! There's no reason for the bride to go out and help as soon as she enters the house. You stay in the house with Xiaoqing and Liujuan for now, and I'll call you out to eat after the banquet starts."

Just as Bang Geng was talking with Tang Yanling, the eyes of Tang Yanling's best friends were all drawn to the quilt cover spread on the bed. Looking at the red quilt cover embroidered with dragons and phoenixes, everyone's face showed a look of delight.

One of Tang Yanling's best friends reached out and touched the bed sheet, asking Tang Yanling with a delighted expression, "Lingling! Did you buy this bed sheet from your department store? It's so beautiful!"

Tang Yanling had also been very fond of the bedding set on the bed when she first saw it a few days ago. Now, seeing her best friends and her own bedding set, Tang Yanling's vanity was greatly satisfied. She happily introduced it to her friends, saying, "Yanzi! This bedding set was bought from Shanghai by Jia Geng's uncle. You can't buy it in Beijing at all."

"Yanling! There are no stitches on this duvet cover. How did you sew the quilt into the duvet cover?" Tang Yanling's other best friend looked puzzled as she saw the neat duvet cover and asked Tang Yanling curiously.

Upon hearing her best friend's question, Tang Yanling immediately pointed to the end of the duvet cover and explained with a smile, "Xiaoqing! Look, there's a zipper at the end of the duvet cover. After unzipping it, just stuff the duvet into the cover, then grab the four corners of the cover and shake it a few times."

When Tang Yanling's close friends heard what she was saying, they all had expressions of sudden realization. Xiaoqing followed up with envy and said to Tang Yanling, "Yanling! This way, you won't have to sew on the duvet cover when you change it in the future. It's so convenient!"

When Yanzi heard Tang Yanling's introduction and looked at the quilt cover embroidered with dragons and phoenixes, she really liked it and couldn't help but exclaim, "This kind of quilt cover is so convenient to use. I wonder when this kind of quilt cover will be available for sale in Beijing. Otherwise, I would definitely buy a set."

Looking at the room's furnishings, and thinking of the television and refrigerator in the main room, Liu Juan said to Tang Yanling with envy, "Lingling! Jia Geng's family is so well-off! Not only do they have a television, but they even have a refrigerator! You won't need to spend money to go to the movies anymore!"

Upon hearing Liu Juan's words and seeing the envious expressions on her friends' faces, Tang Yanling smiled and said to Liu Juan and the others, "Liu Juan! Xiao Qing! Yanzi! Lili! If you want to watch TV, you can come to my house to watch TV anytime in the future."

Hearing Tang Yanling's words, the bridesmaids all showed joy on their faces. Xiaoqing, in particular, asked Tang Yanling expectantly, "Yanling! Is it true? We can come to your house to watch TV anytime from now on?" Lily was also very happy to hear Tang Yanling's promise, but when she thought about how many people were in Banggeng's house and that they would be disturbing the Jia family's life by coming to watch TV every day, she asked Tang Yanling, "Yanling! If we come to your house to watch TV every day, won't we disturb Jia Geng's elders?"

Upon hearing Lily's question and seeing the expectant expressions on everyone's faces, Tang Yanling smiled and said to Lily, "Lily! Uncle Jia Geng's family has a television set. It was bought by Uncle Jia Geng specifically for our wedding."

"Besides, only Jia Geng and I live in this house now. If you come here to watch TV, it won't disturb my mother-in-law and uncle at all. In addition, besides the room next door, there are three rooms upstairs. If you come to my house to watch TV and it gets late, you can stay overnight."

"What? Only you and Jia Geng live in this house? Where do Jia Geng's mother and sister live?" Liu Juan was shocked when she heard the news from Tang Yanling and asked Tang Yanling to confirm the news.

Upon hearing Liu Juan's question and seeing the shocked and envious expressions on her friends' faces, Tang Yanling quickly walked to the window, pushed it open, pointed to the bustling courtyard outside, and introduced it to her friends with a smile: "Liu Juan! This courtyard outside also belongs to the Jia family. The houses across the way are where my uncle's family lives, and the newly built houses next to it are where Jia Geng's grandmother and sister live."

Housing conditions in Beijing today can be described as extremely tight. In many homes, multiple families share a single room, and Tang Yanling's close friends are also facing the same predicament of not having enough space.

Looking out the window, Liu Juan and the others saw the Jia family's villa and the houses within it, and their eyes all revealed expressions of envy.

After settling Tang Yanling's parents and relatives in, Jia Dongming quickly walked out of the courtyard. Seeing Bang Geng setting up a table in the yard, he instructed Bang Geng, "Bang Geng! Director Li and the others will be arriving soon. Come with me to the main gate to greet them."

Upon hearing Jia Dongming's instructions, Banggeng immediately responded and then, smiling, instructed Ermao, Sanmao, and the others, "Ermao! Sanmao! You two are in charge here. I'll go with my uncle to the main gate to greet the guests who are coming to the banquet."

Upon hearing Banggeng's instructions, Er Mao immediately smiled and said to Banggeng, "Brother Banggeng! You should go and greet the guests with Uncle Dongming. You can rest assured that we will take care of things here."

Jia Dongming led Banggeng to the gate of the courtyard house, where they saw a group of children picking up unlit firecrackers. Upon seeing this, Jia Dongming smiled and instructed Banggeng, "Banggeng! Go home and get a few rows of firecrackers, then break them up and distribute them to these children so they can have some fun with you."

Upon hearing Jia Dongming's instructions, Banggeng recalled a time from his childhood when he would take Xiaodang and Huaihua to collect firecrackers for weddings in other courtyards of the alley. He then smiled and nodded, replying, "Yes, Uncle! I'll go home and get the firecrackers right now!"
