The heavens set sail from the courtyard

The Tang family has three sons. The eldest and second eldest married the He sisters, while the youngest, Tang Zhenmin, and the fifth daughter of the He family, Liu Xiaoling, grew up playing together because they were close in age and related by marriage.

Tang Zhenmin was quite different from his two older brothers. He was lively and active from a young age, had a sweet tongue, and loved to dance, making him very popular with girls.

Liu Xiaoling often asked Tang Zhenmin to dance with her, and over time, the two fell in love.

Liu Xiaoling originally planned to tell her parents the truth after a while, but today, taking advantage of the opportunity to have dinner together with her eldest and second eldest sisters, she simply told them.

When He Changsheng and Liu Meixin first heard about this, they were somewhat surprised, but did not immediately object.

The example of the past is right next to me. They opposed He Jiali's marriage to Tang Weimin and He Jiawen's marriage to Wang Gang, but in the end, they still married their daughters into the Tang family.

The Tang family is not what it used to be. The eldest son, Tang, is about to be promoted to deputy director of the Foreign Trade Bureau. Tang Youmin is also doing well at the testing institute and is already a key technical staff member. As for Wang Gang, he is the top surgeon at Huainan Hospital, and many people seek his treatment.

Tang Zhenmin was slightly less successful; he didn't get into high school and only went to a vocational school. However, with the support of his parents and older brother, his future won't be too bad.

On the contrary, Liu Xiaoling was uneducated and incompetent from a young age. She couldn't continue her studies after graduating from junior high school and spent her days playing around outside, never doing anything serious.

If I hadn't taken over He Changsheng's job, I probably wouldn't have been able to find a job at all.

Neither He Changsheng nor Liu Meixin expected their daughter to achieve anything great.

"Mom and Dad, you won't object to me dating Tang Zhenmin, will you?" Liu Xiaoling looked at her parents somewhat nervously.

"Are you serious?" He Changsheng asked thoughtfully.

"Of course I'm serious," Liu Xiaoling said firmly.

Liu Meixin looked at her second son-in-law, Wang Gang, and asked, "Youmin, I remember your brother has a heart condition, right? How's his treatment going?"

Wang Gang replied, "My brother's heart disease is well controlled. As long as he takes his medication on time, he is basically the same as a normal person."

Liu Meixin breathed a sigh of relief, then asked, "Has your brother found a job yet? I heard he went to a vocational school, so he should be guaranteed a job!"

Wang Gang nodded and said, "My younger brother's grades aren't as good as mine and my older brother's, so he can only attend a vocational school. After he graduates, I plan to get him a job in the hospital pharmacy."

He Changsheng said happily, "The pay at the pharmacy is pretty good, and with you, my second brother, looking after me, my future should be bright."

Wang Gang smiled but didn't say anything.

In fact, his third brother, Tang Zhenmin, was completely unsettled and still acted like a playful child. Getting him to work at the pharmacy was a last resort; without Wang Gang watching over him, who knows what kind of trouble he might cause.

"Where will Tang Zhenmin live when he gets married?" Liu Meixin asked Wang Gang the question she was most concerned about.

The house allocated to the Tang family was not large, just three tiled rooms. Tang Zhenmin still lives in one room with his two nephews.

Now that Liu Xiaoling has married into the family, she can't possibly continue living with her nephew!

He Changsheng felt that his wife was asking too many questions. Putting aside the fact that Liu Xiaoling and Tang Zhenmin hadn't reached the point of discussing marriage, even if they had, Liu Meixin shouldn't be asking Wang Gang.

"Alright! You've been asking all sorts of questions and haven't even had time to eat," He Changsheng said. "Everyone, let's eat first. We'll talk about Lao Wu's matter later."

Liu Meixin was somewhat dissatisfied, but she still gave He Changsheng face and did not ask any further questions.

Wang Gang and He Jiawen exchanged a glance and silently lowered their heads to eat.

After finishing their meal, Wang Gang and He Jiawen didn't stay long before leaving with He Jiali. They were going back to the Tang family to visit Old Master Tang and Granny Tang.

Before leaving, Liu Meixin brought up Zhang Qiufang's matter again, and He Jiawen gave a perfunctory reply before leaving.

The He and Tang families lived close by; both houses were allocated by the Foreign Trade Bureau, and it took Wang Gang and He Jiawen less than five minutes to walk there.

Old Master Tang and Granny Tang already knew that Wang Gang and his group were going to the He family's house for lunch, so they hadn't prepared any for them. When Wang Gang and his group returned, Old Master Tang and Granny Tang were having lunch with their two grandsons, Tang Jizong and Tang Jiye; their sons, Tang Weimin and Tang Zhenmin, were not home.

Tang Weimin was working overtime and wouldn't be home until the evening, while Tang Zhenmin couldn't stay home and went out to have fun early in the morning.

Wang Gang's main purpose in returning this time was to check on the health of Da Laotang and Tang Pozi and prescribe some medicine for them.

Old Tang's diabetes has been well controlled, and he usually pays great attention to maintaining his health, so he looks very healthy.

On the contrary, Tang Pozi was diagnosed with cirrhosis after retiring to take care of her grandson. Fortunately, it was detected early and she received timely treatment, so it did not worsen.

"Mom, you need to take your medicine on time. For now, conservative treatment is fine." After taking his mother's pulse, Wang Gang wrote her a prescription.

"Don't worry! I'll remind your mother to take her medicine," Old Tang said with a smile.

"You two are getting on in years, so you need to pay close attention to your health. If you feel unwell anywhere, please let me know immediately," Wang Gang instructed.

"I understand." Granny Tang sighed, "Thank you for your hard work with our whole family of sick people."

Wang Gang laughed and said, "We're all family, so don't worry about the hardship. Besides, it's inevitable for old people to have some minor ailments. As long as you take your medicine on time, it's not hard to recover."

Old Tang chuckled and said, "Don't let our family's illnesses fool you, we're actually much healthier than most people our age, all thanks to you, Youmin, who takes care of us regularly."

He Jiawen said, "Mom and Dad, you will definitely live to be a hundred years old."

Old Tang sighed, "Whether I can live to be a hundred years old is not important, as long as I can live to see my two grandsons grow up."

When Old Tang was diagnosed with a hereditary disease, his greatest hope was to see his three sons get married and start their own families.

Later, with the birth of his two grandsons, he hoped to live as long as he could, ideally until his grandsons grew up.

This is also the source of his confidence from Wang Gang's medical skills.

"By the way, Dad, where's Zhenmin? Did he go out to play again?" He Jiali asked when she couldn't find Tang Zhenmin at home.

"He went out early this morning, I don't know where he went to have fun. We can't control this son of ours either," Granny Tang said with a sneer.

"Mom and Dad, you don't know yet, do you? Zhenmin is dating my fifth son," He Jiali said with a smile.

Old Tang and Tang Pozi were taken aback.

"Why didn't that brat Zhenmin tell us?" Granny Tang said in a deep voice.

He Jiali and He Jiawen felt a sudden jolt, realizing that the old woman seemed to be against their son's relationship with Liu Xiaoling.

"Mom, don't you like my fifth sister?" He Jiali asked tentatively.

"No, no, we've watched Xiaoling grow up, how could we not like her?" Old Tang quickly said, "Your mother and I are just angry that Zhenmin kept such a big thing from us."

He Jiali and He Jiawen both breathed a sigh of relief.

Actually, Tang Zhenmin and his wife were against Tang Lao Lao and Tang Pozi dating.

It wasn't that they looked down on Liu Xiaoling; Old Tang hoped that Tang Zhenmin would marry a wife with a stable personality who could complement his own.

Liu Xiaoling's personality is too similar to Tang Zhenmin's; both are playboys, not people who want to settle down.

However, Old Master Tang and Granny Tang are not the kind of domineering parents, and they especially dote on their youngest son, so they basically don't interfere in his love life.

As I said before, even if Tang Zhenmin doesn't fare well in the future, he still has his parents and two older brothers to support him. (End of Chapter)
