Siheyuan: I am Banggeng's uncle

Chapter 929 Happy Events!

"Uncle! I'm home from get off work!" Banggeng returned home from get off work, parked his bicycle, and then walked quickly to the study door. Seeing Jia Dongming organizing books, he happily called out to him.

Upon hearing Banggeng's shout, Jia Dongming put the book he was holding back into the bookshelf, then turned to Banggeng and said, "Banggeng! Your transfer letter has arrived. Tomorrow morning, after you arrive at the factory, come to my office first. Then you can take the transfer letter to the personnel department of the steel rolling mill to complete the transfer procedures."

When Banggeng heard Jia Dongming's explanation and learned that his transfer to the Municipal Bureau had been finalized, he was incredibly excited and quickly replied happily, "Uncle! When I get to the factory tomorrow, I'll first say hello to my cousin, and then I'll go to the security department to find you."

Upon hearing Banggeng's reply and seeing his happy expression, Jia Dongming smiled and said to Banggeng, "Banggeng! After you are transferred to the Municipal Bureau, I will be transferred to the Municipal Bureau in a few days as well."

When Banggeng learned that Jia Dongming was also being transferred to the Municipal Bureau, his previously excited face turned into one of utter surprise. He quickly asked Jia Dongming to confirm, "Uncle! Is it true? You're also being transferred to the Municipal Bureau?"

Upon hearing Bang Geng's question and seeing the surprised look on Bang Geng's face, Jia Dongming smiled and nodded, replying in a very friendly tone, "Captain Hong of the Municipal Criminal Investigation Corps is unable to continue working on the front lines due to illness, and the leadership plans to have me go to the Criminal Investigation Corps to take charge of the work."

Upon hearing Jia Dongming's reply and learning that Jia Dongming had been transferred to the Criminal Investigation Department to take charge of its work, Bang Geng's face once again showed a shocked expression. He replied with a smile, "The Criminal Investigation Department! That's a department with several times more power than the Security Department. If the higher-ups transfer you to take charge of the Criminal Investigation Department, doesn't that mean that you'll be the one calling the shots in the Criminal Investigation Department from now on?"

Upon hearing Bang Geng's words, Jia Dongming, considering the nature of the Criminal Investigation Corps' work, replied with a very serious expression: "Bang Geng! Although the Criminal Investigation Corps has more power than the Security Department, its responsibilities are also greater. In the future, it will probably be a luxury for me to be able to go to and from get off work on time every day like I do now."

"Bang Geng! I'm home from get off work!" Tang Yanling pushed her bicycle into the courtyard and greeted Bang Geng happily as she saw him standing at the door of the study.

When Banggeng saw Tang Yanling returning from get off work, he immediately rushed forward to greet her and said happily, "Wife! My transfer letter to the Municipal Bureau has been sent to my uncle. I can go and complete the transfer procedures tomorrow and start working at the Municipal Bureau."

Upon hearing Banggeng's words, Tang Yanling's face immediately lit up with surprise and delight. She happily asked Banggeng to confirm, "Banggeng! Are you serious?"

"Banggeng! Yanling! Dinner is ready. You two hurry back to your room and call Xiaoming and the others over for dinner." Just as Tang Yanling was excitedly confirming the news with Banggeng, Qin Huairu came out of the main room and called out to Banggeng and Tang Yanling happily.

Although Jia Dongming had instructed Zhang Guoping not to announce anything before things were settled, Zhang Guoping was still somewhat excited at the thought of his impending promotion.

After getting off work, Zhang Guoping immediately rode his bicycle to a shop selling braised food. After buying several kinds of braised food, he hummed a little tune and rode towards his home.

"Dad! Did you find some money today? Why did you buy so much braised food?" Zhang Guoping walked home carrying several kinds of braised food. His eldest son's eyes lit up when he saw the food in Zhang Guoping's hand, and he asked Zhang Guoping with a surprised look. Hearing his eldest son's question, Zhang Guoping thought of the news that he was about to be promoted, and pretended to be displeased, scolding his eldest son: "Find money? How could there be so much money to find in this world? Eldest son, can you stop having such unrealistic dreams?"

Hearing Zhang Guoping's words, Zhang Guoping's daughter immediately poked her head out of the kitchen. When she saw Zhang Guoping handing the braised food to her sister-in-law, she immediately smiled and asked Zhang Guoping, "Dad! Did you get a raise? Otherwise, why would you spend so much money on braised food today?"

Hearing his daughter's question, Zhang Guoping smiled happily, thinking about his upcoming promotion. He instructed his daughter, "Daughter! Quickly take these braised dishes to your mother and tell her to put them on a plate and bring them out. I'm going to have a couple of drinks tonight."

Hearing Zhang Guoping's words and seeing his happy expression, Zhang Guoping's daughter quickly reached out and took the braised food, asking him curiously, "Dad! Did you really get a raise? Otherwise, why would you spend money to buy so much braised food?"

Hearing his daughter's words, Zhang Guoping smiled and replied, "Daughter! Although your dad didn't get a raise, it's not much different from getting one."

"Grandpa! Grandpa! I smell the aroma of meat! Did you buy meat? I want to eat meat!" Zhang Guoping's grandson heard the noise outside and immediately ran out of the house, throwing himself into Zhang Guoping's arms and asking him in a childish voice.

Upon hearing his grandson's question, Zhang Guoping immediately bent down and picked him up, giving him a kiss on the cheek. He said happily, "Little darling, Auntie took the meat to the kitchen to cut it. If our little darling wants some meat, Auntie will get it for you."

Upon hearing Zhang Guoping's words, the little one immediately tried to break free from his embrace, calling out in a childish voice, "Grandpa! Put me down quickly, I want to go to the kitchen to ask Auntie for some meat!"

Zhang Guoping's eldest son, looking at his father, happily ran towards the kitchen, asking Zhang Guoping with a face full of curiosity, "Dad! What good thing happened to you? Can you tell me?"

At this moment, Zhang Guoping really wanted to share his upcoming promotion with his family, but remembering Jia Dongming's instructions, and to avoid any complications, Zhang Guoping suppressed the urge to share it with his family and replied, "Eldest brother! Don't ask about things you shouldn't ask. I'll tell you when the time is right."

Upon hearing Zhang Guoping's answer, Zhang Guoping's son immediately showed a frustrated expression and replied, "Dad! Aren't you deliberately keeping us in suspense?"

Hearing his son's complaints, Zhang Guoping pretended to be annoyed and scolded him, "What are you nagging about? Hurry up and get that bottle of good wine I brought back last time. I'm going to have a couple of drinks tonight."
