Siheyuan: I am Banggeng's uncle

Chapter 998 An Unexpected Discovery!
Time flies, and more than three months have passed in the blink of an eye. Around 5 p.m., Bang Geng drove to the intersection not far from the Bureau of Commerce, just like usual.

After the jeep pulled over to the side of the road, Tang Yanling, who had been waiting there, quickly walked to the passenger door, opened it, and carefully got into the jeep.

Just as Tang Yanling, her already noticeably pregnant belly, carefully got into the jeep, a middle-aged woman not far away saw the scene before her. Her eyes widened in surprise, and she quickly pointed towards the jeep, exclaiming to the young woman beside her in astonishment, "Xiao Lin! Look! Isn't that Tang Yanling from your office getting into that jeep?"

Hearing the middle-aged woman's shout, the young woman named Xiaolin instinctively looked in the direction the middle-aged woman was pointing. She saw Tang Yanling getting into the jeep and her face immediately showed a look of sudden realization. She muttered to herself, "I was wondering why Tang Yanling was able to get a work-for-a-cadre quota as soon as she was transferred to our office. So that's how it is."

After Tang Yanling got into the jeep, she saw Jia Dongming sitting in the back seat and politely greeted him, "Hello, Uncle!"

When Jia Dongming saw Tang Yanling who greeted him, he smiled and asked her, "Yanling! I got a phone call before I left work and ended up being late. Did I keep you waiting?"

Upon hearing Jia Dongming's words, Tang Yanling smiled and said to him, "Uncle! There's been a lot going on in our office today, and I just came out not long ago."

After seeing Tang Yanling get into the car, Bang Geng quickly shifted gears and drove the jeep towards Tongluoguxiang.

The jeep drove smoothly on the road. Jia Dongming looked at the street scene rushing past the window and, thinking of the work Jiang Kun had assigned to Tang Yanling, smiled and said to Tang Yanling, "Yanling! When you go to your office tomorrow, you can go directly to your Director Jiang. The imported electrical appliances and goods that your Uncle Wu purchased for your Commerce Bureau will arrive at Jingu Port the day after tomorrow. Ask him to prepare ten trucks to pick up the goods at the Jingu Port dock."

Upon hearing the news from Jia Dongming, Tang Yanling's face lit up with joy. She excitedly confirmed with Jia Dongming, "Uncle! Is what you said true? The imported electrical appliances and goods that our bureau chief asked Uncle Wu to help purchase will arrive at the Jingu Port the day after tomorrow."

When Jia Dongming heard Tang Yanling's question, he smiled and nodded, and said to Tang Yanling, "Can you joke about something like this? This time, in addition to helping your bureau purchase this batch of electrical appliances and goods, your Uncle Wu also sent a batch of electrical appliances to our family. Tomorrow I will call Director Li of the steel rolling mill and ask him to borrow a truck. We will go to the Jingu Port Wharf together to bring back the electrical appliances that belong to our family."

While driving, Banggeng heard Jia Dongming's words and immediately asked him curiously, "Uncle! What appliances did Uncle Wu send to our family? Should I take a day off and drive to Jingu Port to pick up the appliances Uncle Wu sent us?"

When Jia Dongming heard Banggeng's question, he smiled and introduced to Banggeng, "Banggeng! This time, your Uncle Wu not only gave our family a color TV, but also a VCR, a washing machine, and some movie VCRs. In the future, even if there are no programs on TV, we can watch the VCRs at home."

"As for the matter of going to Jingu Port to pick up goods, just let Li Huaide arrange for your uncle to go. Since Li Huaide has also bought a few appliances himself this time, you don't need to take leave specifically to make this trip."

Upon hearing about the video recorder and Jia Dongming's explanation, Tang Yanling asked him curiously, "Uncle! You just said that if the TV station doesn't have any programs, we can watch videotapes at home. What exactly are these videotapes?" Jia Dongming smiled and explained, "Yanling! This video recorder is like a projector in a movie theater, and the videotape is like the film tape. We just put the videotape into the recorder, and then we can watch the content on it."

"This time, your Uncle Wu specially brought back a lot of movies and TV series from Hong Kong. When you give birth and are in postpartum confinement, you won't feel bored even if you stay at home every day."

When Tang Yanling heard Jia Dongming's introduction, she imagined herself lying on the sofa watching TV every day after giving birth and confinement at home. A look of longing unconsciously appeared on Tang Yanling's face.

The next morning around 7 a.m., Xiao Lin arrived early at the place where Tang Yanling had taken the car home from get off work the day before, wanting to see if Tang Yanling's background was really as she imagined, that she came from a high-ranking official's family.

Xiaolin waited at the intersection for about seven or eight minutes before seeing a jeep stop by the roadside. The moment she saw the passenger door open, she saw Tang Yanling, with her slightly protruding belly, carefully getting out of the car.

Seeing this, Xiaolin thought of the question she had been pondering all night and suddenly felt a glimmer of hope. She muttered to herself, "No wonder Tang Yanling was able to get a position as a substitute worker as soon as she arrived, and was even specifically in charge of the work that Director Jiang was in charge of. It turns out that this Tang Yanling has such a powerful background."

After Tang Yanling got out of the car, she casually closed the car door and said with a smile to Jia Dongming and Banggeng sitting in the car, "Uncle! Banggeng! I'm going to work now. Drive slowly on the road."

Upon hearing Tang Yanling's words, Jia Dongming reminded her, "Yanling! Remember to report to your Director Jiang about picking up the goods tomorrow."

Upon hearing Jia Dongming's instructions, Tang Yanling immediately nodded and replied obediently, "Uncle! Don't worry, our Director Jiang has been looking forward to this shipment every day. As soon as Director Jiang arrives at his office, I will report this matter to him immediately."

Standing not far away, Xiaolin didn't immediately approach Tang Yanling after she said goodbye to the people in the jeep. Instead, he waited until the jeep drove away before quickly catching up and calling out to Tang Yanling, who was walking ahead, "Yanling! Good morning!"

Tang Yanling, who was walking towards the Commerce Bureau, heard a familiar voice calling from behind. She subconsciously stopped and turned around. When she saw Xiao Lin carrying a cloth bag, a look of surprise appeared on her face. She smiled and greeted Xiao Lin, "Sister Lin! Good morning! Why didn't you ride your bike to work today?"
