Siheyuan: I am Banggeng's uncle

Chapter 917 Xiuxiu's Parents' Plans!
That evening at Xiuxiu's house, after Xiuxiu's father came home from get off work, Wenjin put the prepared food on the table and then said to Xiuxiu's parents, "Dad! Mom! I have good news for you. Xiuxiu's boyfriend, Tang Guohua, has been promoted to a permanent position and has become a purchasing agent at a car manufacturing plant."

"Wenjin! Is what you said true? Tang Guoqiang really became a purchasing agent?" Xiuxiu's older brother looked incredulous when he heard the news from his wife. Before his parents could confirm the news, he quickly asked Wenjin.

Hearing her husband's words and seeing the surprised expressions on her family's faces, Wen Jin smiled and nodded, then introduced, "Dad! Mom! Tang Guohua came to our house at noon today. He told me and Xiuxiu about this."

"I also heard from Tang Guohua that his family is currently repairing their house. Once the house is finished, he will have his family find a matchmaker to come to our house to propose marriage."

Xiuxiu's father, Liu Erwa, frowned as he listened to his daughter-in-law's account and recalled what his daughter had told him. He asked Xiuxiu with a serious expression, "Xiuxiu! Didn't you say last time that the person who arranged for Tang Guohua to work at the car factory had been transferred to another place? How did Tang Guohua get his job permanent?"

When Xiuxiu heard her father's question, she remembered the news Tang Guohua had told her and quickly introduced to Liu Erwa: "Dad! Guohua's husband's family is a cadre family. They happen to know Director Zhou of Guohua's factory. Guohua got a permanent job because of this connection."

"In addition, we'll have a contractor divide the house into two floors. Once the house is renovated, there will be three more rooms, so we won't have to worry about not having enough rooms."

When Liu Erwa heard the news from Xiuxiu, he asked her with a puzzled look, "Girl! You just said that Tang Guohua's family hired a craftsman to divide their house into two floors. Is their house really that tall?"

When Xiuxiu heard Liu Erwa's question, she remembered what she had seen at Tang Guohua's house that afternoon, and immediately told Liu Erwa, "Dad! After Guohua came to my house this afternoon and told me about this, I went to his house with Guohua and saw that the craftsman dug the ground down by thirty or forty centimeters, which is why it was able to be divided into two floors."

Upon hearing Xiuxiu's explanation, Liu Erwa instinctively looked up, glanced at his own house, and then said to Xiuxiu, "Daughter! The reason I stopped you from marrying Tang Guohua wasn't because he was an apprentice, but because his house wasn't big enough. After you married him, you probably wouldn't even have your own marital home. That's why I made the condition of buying a TV to discourage that guy."

"Since his family can solve the problem of the wedding house, then Dad will not object to your marriage with Tang Guohua. When do you think we should have Tang Guohua's parents send a matchmaker to propose marriage?"

When Xiuxiu saw that her father had finally relented and agreed to her marriage with Tang Guohua, her face immediately lit up with joy. She happily replied, "Dad! I understand. When Guohua comes to see me this Sunday, I will tell him about it."

“Honey! Didn’t Xiuxiu just say that Tang Guohua’s brother-in-law comes from a cadre family? Since his brother-in-law knows the factory director of the car manufacturing plant, do you think it’s possible to ask Guohua’s brother-in-law to arrange an apprenticeship for our third son at the car manufacturing plant?” Xiuxiu’s mother thought of the situation her daughter had just mentioned and her eyes lit up. She quickly suggested this to Liu Erwa.

Upon hearing his wife's words, Liu Erwa's eyes lit up. After a moment's thought, he replied, "My dear wife! Your idea is excellent. When the Tang family sends someone to propose marriage, I will mention this to the matchmaker."

Three days later, Bang Geng and Tang Yanling's honeymoon officially ended. Around 7 a.m., Tang Yanling rode the women's bicycle that the Jia family had bought for her to the department store. When her colleagues at the department store saw her arrive, they all greeted her warmly.

"Our bride has finally decided to come to work!" Colleague A greeted Tang Yanling with a smile upon seeing her. "Yanling! With a man's touch, your complexion has improved a lot! Look at your rosy cheeks, I bet you could squeeze water out of them if you pinched them," Colleague B teased Tang Yanling with a laugh upon seeing her delicate face.

"Yanling! Is your man good in bed? How long does it usually last?" An older female colleague, seeing Tang Yanling's charming expression, immediately asked her with a smile.

The conversation among her colleagues made the newlywed woman blush with embarrassment. She complained awkwardly, "You bunch of hooligans, how dare you say such things? I'm not talking to you anymore."

Hearing Tang Yanling's complaints and seeing her shy expression, one of her female colleagues even teased her with a smile, saying, "Little Yanling! We're just concerned about whether you're happy, that's why we're asking you this kind of question. After all, we've all been through this."

Hearing her colleague's words, Tang Yanling felt her cheeks burning. She quickly took out a bag of milk candy from her bag, put it on the counter, and said shyly, "Sister Minmin! Could you take this bag of wedding candy and distribute it to everyone? I'm going to the finance department to find my mother."

Everyone burst into laughter as they watched Tang Yanling, after being questioned, drop a bag of wedding candy and flee in panic.

Tang Yanling quickly arrived at the finance office. When she saw Wen Xiaorong sitting at her desk looking at the ledgers, she immediately called out to Wen Xiaorong, "Mom! I'm here for work!"

Hearing Tang Yanling's call, Wen Xiaorong's colleagues all instinctively looked up and greeted her with smiles as she walked into the office.

When Tang Yanling saw the people who greeted her, she took out a bag of milk candy from her bag again and began to distribute the candy to everyone in the office.

Hearing her daughter's voice, Wen Xiaorong instinctively looked up. After Tang Yanling finished distributing wedding candies to her colleagues, she smiled and asked Tang Yanling, "Lingling! You're back at work. Have you been settling in well with your in-laws these past few days?"

When Tang Yanling heard Wen Xiaorong's question, she thought about the days she had spent at the Jia family's house and said to Wen Xiaorong with a happy face, "Mom! Grandma and my mother-in-law are very good to me, and the food at home is incredibly good. In just a few days, I feel like I've gained weight."

When Wen Xiaorong heard Tang Yanling's account of her life at the Jia family, she was finally relieved. She then reminded Tang Yanling, "Lingling! Although your mother-in-law and the others don't let you do housework, you are still a new bride. You should still volunteer to do the chores, understand?"

Upon hearing Wen Xiaorong's instructions, Tang Yanling immediately nodded and replied, "Mom! I understand!"
