Siheyuan: I am Banggeng's uncle

Chapter 915 Different Work Clothes!
After leaving the Jia family, Tang Guohua originally wanted to go to his girlfriend's house immediately to share the good news, but considering that it was already lunchtime, he had to give up the idea and rode his bicycle to the department store instead.

When Tang Guohua arrived at the department store by bicycle, Wen Xiaorong was carrying a lunchbox, preparing to go to the cafeteria for lunch, when she saw Tang Guohua riding his bicycle into the courtyard from outside.

When Wen Xiaorong saw Tang Guohua riding a bicycle, she was visibly taken aback at first. But when she saw the work clothes Tang Guohua was wearing, her eyes lit up. She quickly walked up to him and asked excitedly, "Guohua! You've been promoted to a permanent position?"

Upon hearing Wen Xiaorong's question and seeing her excited expression, Tang Guohua replied happily, "Mom! Not long after I went to work at the factory this morning, Director Zhou arranged for someone to help me with the formalities for becoming a permanent employee, and he also transferred me from the workshop to the purchasing department."

Wen Xiaorong was already very happy about her second son's promotion, but what she didn't expect was that Tang Guohua's job was not only successfully promoted, but he was even transferred from the workshop to the logistics and procurement department, which meant that Tang Guohua was very likely to become a cadre.

Upon hearing the news, Wen Xiaorong's face lit up with excitement. She happily said to Tang Guohua, "Guohua! This time, it's all thanks to your brother-in-law and uncle-in-law. Not only did they help you get promoted, but they also have the opportunity to become a cadre. You should thank your brother-in-law and uncle-in-law properly when you have the chance."

Upon hearing Wen Xiaorong's instructions, Tang Guohua immediately smiled and explained to her, "Mom! I felt a little uneasy about Factory Director Zhou suddenly transferring me to the purchasing department, so I went to my dad's workplace and told him the news. Later, my dad told me to go directly to my brother-in-law and ask him to help me find out what was going on. In the end, I learned from my brother-in-law the real reason why Factory Director Zhou transferred me to the purchasing department."

Upon hearing Tang Guohua's explanation, Wen Xiaorong immediately asked him curiously, "Guohua! You just said... why don't you quickly tell Mom what Factory Director Zhou's real purpose was in transferring you to the purchasing department?"

Upon hearing Wen Xiaorong's question, Tang Guohua immediately gave her a full account of what he had learned from Bang Geng.

After hearing Tang Guohua's explanation, Wen Xiaorong finally understood the reason. She smiled and instructed Tang Guohua, "Guohua! Although your brother-in-law promised to help you, Mr. Wu, whom your brother-in-law mentioned, is, after all, a friend of your uncle. You can't ask your brother-in-law to help you every time you carry out a procurement task, can you? So the key is still to rely on your own efforts."

Upon hearing Wen Xiaorong's instructions, Tang Guohua immediately nodded and replied, "Mom! I understand. I will definitely work hard and will never let you and Dad down."

As Tang Guohua finished speaking, a "gurgle!" sound suddenly came from his stomach, causing an embarrassed expression to appear on his face. He smiled and said to Wen Xiaorong, "Mom! I haven't eaten at your department store cafeteria for a long time. When I was at my brother-in-law's house, he asked me to stay for dinner, but I didn't. I came here to eat with you."

After having lunch with Wen Xiaorong at the department store cafeteria, Tang Guohua immediately rode his bicycle towards his girlfriend's house.

More than half an hour later, Tang Guohua stopped his bicycle in front of a small courtyard with two courtyards. He parked the bicycle, pushed open the courtyard gate, walked to the front house, and called out, "Xiuxiu! Are you home?"

"Creak!" The door to the back room was quickly opened, and a simply dressed young girl came out. When she saw Tang Guohua standing at her door, she looked surprised and asked curiously, "Guohua! Shouldn't you be working at the car factory at this time? How come you have time to come to my house?"

Upon hearing Xiuxiu's question, Tang Guohua instinctively glanced inside the house and then said to Xiuxiu, "Xiuxiu! This isn't the place we agreed on. Let's talk outside in the yard."

When Xiuxiu heard Tang Guohua's words and saw his happy expression, she thought he had come to invite her out to play. So she said to Tang Guohua, "Guohua! My sister-in-law went out to buy things. I need to stay at home to take care of my nephew, so I can't go out with you."

Upon hearing Xiuxiu's words, Tang Guohua immediately asked her, "Xiuxiu! Look at me, have I changed at all today?"

When Xiuxiu heard Tang Guohua's words, she looked at Tang Guohua, who was wearing new work clothes, and asked with a puzzled expression, "Besides wearing a new work uniform, what's different about you?"

Upon hearing Xiuxiu's answer, Tang Guohua, thinking about his job promotion, happily reminded Xiuxiu, "Xiuxiu! Haven't you noticed that the work clothes I'm wearing today are quite different from the ones I used to wear?"

Upon hearing Tang Guohua's reminder, Xiuxiu looked at the work clothes he was wearing again. A thought quickly came to her mind, and she asked Tang Guohua with an incredulous expression, "Guohua! The work clothes you're wearing are the uniforms of a formal employee at the Yanjing Automobile Manufacturing Plant. Has your job been officially promoted?"

When Tang Guohua heard Xiuxiu's question, he remembered that his job had been transferred to the purchasing department. He happily told Xiuxiu, "Xiuxiu! Today, I not only got a permanent position, but I was also transferred from the workshop to the purchasing department. If I perform well in the purchasing department, I will become a cadre in the future."

Xiuxiu and Tang Guohua have been dating for over a year. However, because Tang Guohua's family is in dire need of housing and he is only an apprentice, Xiuxiu's father has always opposed their marriage. He even used the excuse that they must buy a television before they can get married to try and discourage Tang Guohua.

Faced with her father's unreasonable demands, Xiuxiu didn't say anything, but she was also very anxious inside. Now that she heard the news that Tang Guohua's job had been officially promoted, Xiuxiu's face immediately showed an expression of ecstatic joy. Overjoyed, she asked Tang Guohua for confirmation through tears, "Guohua! Is it true? Your job has really been officially promoted?"

When Tang Guohua heard Xiuxiu's question and saw her joyful tears, he nodded very firmly and replied, "Xiuxiu! This is absolutely true. Also, after my sister got married, my dad hired a craftsman to renovate our house and divide it into two floors, which will create three more rooms. When you marry into our family, you won't have to worry about not having a room for your wedding."
