Yan Jiecheng's Leisurely Life in Siheyuan

Chapter 65 Meeting the Parents

After dealing with the two leaders, Yan Jiecheng returned to the office and called Ding Nianrong over.

"Section Chief, are you looking for me?"

"Brother Ding, sit down."

After Ding Nianrong sat down, Yan Jiecheng continued.

"Brother Ding, I may not be able to call you that from now on."

Ding Nianrong was stunned when he heard this, and while he was stunned, Yan Jiecheng continued.

"From now on I have to call you Deputy Section Chief Ding."

After saying this, Yan Jiecheng couldn't help laughing.

Ding Nianrong was stunned by the news. He really didn't expect that he would become the deputy section chief at this time.

After being stunned, Ding Nianrong excitedly stood up from his seat and said to Yan Jiecheng.

"Section Chief, are you serious? Am I really the deputy section chief?"

Seeing Ding Nianrong so excited, Yan Jiecheng gave up his intention of teasing and spoke seriously.

"That's right, Brother Ding, you have indeed been promoted to deputy section chief, and the official appointment will be in your hands tomorrow."

"Thank you, thank you, Chief. I'm sorry, I lost my composure."

Seeing Ding Nianrong's flustered look, Yan Jiecheng couldn't help laughing.

"Brother Ding, with your relationship with Secretary Wang, there's nothing exciting about becoming a deputy section chief."

Not long after Yan Jiecheng arrived at the iron and steel plant, Ding Nianrong introduced him to Wang Shaoquan, and the relationship between the two was obvious.

Unexpectedly, Ding Nianrong smiled self-deprecatingly and said.

"Section Chief, do you think that if I really had a relationship with Secretary Wang, why would I have been working in the ironworks for so many years and still just a clerk?"

Ding Nianrong's words completely confused Yan Jiecheng.

At this time Ding Nianrong said again,

"Chief, it was you who suggested that I be the deputy chief, right?"

Yan Jiecheng nodded and did not deny it.

Perhaps it was because Ding Nianrong was excited about becoming a deputy section chief and needed someone to talk to. Yan Jiecheng was a good candidate, so he just told him everything.

"Section Chief, I really have no connection with Secretary Wang. It was just that I was the most suitable person to connect them at the time."

"I originally thought that Secretary Wang would promote me because of that matchmaking, but I didn't expect that Secretary Wang seemed to have forgotten about it afterwards."

After Ding Nianrong finished speaking, Yan Jiecheng couldn't help but sigh, but he did not regret suggesting that Ding Nianrong be the deputy section chief.

After all, whether in terms of qualifications or business capabilities, Ding Nianrong is currently the most suitable candidate for promotion in the Logistics Department.

And with Ding Nianrong's assistance, my work will be much easier.

……

The next day at work, Fu Linlin brought good news.

She had already told her family that Yan Jiecheng was going to visit.

Her family welcomed this very much and suggested that Yan Jiecheng go there over the weekend.

This was the first time Yan Jiecheng met the parents, and he was still very nervous. He kept asking Fu Linlin about her family members' hobbies and what he should pay attention to during the visit.

Seeing Yan Jiecheng so nervous showed that he took this visit very seriously, which made Fu Linlin both happy and amused. However, she still told him about her family's hobbies.

Fu Linlin's father is a worker at a fertilizer factory in the county, and her mother is a housewife.

Although Fu Linlin is the only daughter in the family, her father's generation has four brothers.
Fu Linlin has seven cousins, and she is the only girl in this generation of the Fu family.

Although boys are favored over girls in this era, scarcity makes things valuable. As the only daughter in the family, Fu Linlin can be said to be very much loved.

Because Fu Linlin's family lives very close to the homes of several of her uncles, she naturally cannot miss any of them when visiting them.

With so many people, there are a lot of gifts to buy.

Thinking that there was nothing to do in the department at that time, Yan Jiecheng gave Ding Nianrong some instructions, found Shi Yunhua from the Security Department, borrowed a sidecar from him, and then rode it to the county town to buy gifts.

When Fu Linlin came to Yan Jiecheng's dormitory after get off work, Yan Jiecheng had just returned.

Looking at the large and small packages of gifts in the room, Fu Linlin couldn't help but frown.

"Brother Cheng, why did you buy so many things?"

"This looks like a lot, but if we divide it up among four families, there won't be much left. Each family should have two packs of cigarettes, two bottles of wine, and these cakes. What else do you think is missing?"

"Brother Cheng, have you ever thought about how you're going to carry all these things?"

"I've thought it through. I can just borrow a sidecar from the security department and ride over there."

Seeing that Yan Jiecheng had already made up his mind, Fu Linlin didn't say anything more.

But she always felt that something was wrong, but this was the first time she encountered this and she had no experience.

So when she got home, she told her mother about it.

When her mother heard this, she couldn't help laughing.

"Linlin, your partner is really interesting. How can you prepare all the relatives' portions on your first visit?"

"If the neighbors see this, who knows what they'll say about our family. Tell them right away."

The next day, Fu Linlin told Yan Jiecheng about the matter, and only then did Yan Jiecheng understand the trick.

On the weekend, Yan Jiecheng rode his sidecar early in the morning and brought gifts to the county town, the place where he had agreed to meet Fu Linlin.

When Yan Jiecheng arrived, he found that he had come too early and had no choice but to wait there.

After waiting for more than an hour, Fu Linlin finally arrived at the agreed location.

After seeing Yan Jiecheng, Fu Linlin hurriedly said with concern.

"Brother Cheng, when did you arrive? I arrived more than half an hour earlier than the agreed time."

Yan Jiecheng was too embarrassed to say that he had arrived more than an hour ago, so he could only smile awkwardly and say.

"No, I just got here a while ago."

Although Fu Linlin didn't believe Yan Jiecheng's words, she didn't ask any further questions and got into the car.

Yan Jiecheng quickly started the car, and then, under the guidance of Fu Linlin, came to a large courtyard.

"Brother Cheng, we're here."

Yan Jiecheng had just turned off the engine when he heard a child's voice coming from the yard.

"Grandma, Grandma, Auntie is back."

As the voice sounded, three children aged seven or eight gathered at the gate again.

At this time, Fu Linlin introduced to Yan Jiecheng.

"Brother Cheng, this belongs to my cousins. It's my nephew."

After hearing what Fu Linlin said, Yan Jiecheng quickly grabbed a handful of White Rabbit snacks from his backpack and handed them to the little ones.

"Here, each of you take a few."

The little guys first looked at Fu Linlin, and after getting Fu Linlin's nod, they reached out to take the candy from Yan Jiecheng.

Seeing this, Yan Jiecheng smiled and said.

"Linlin, I didn't expect these little guys to listen to you so much."

"Brother Cheng, you don't know how naughty these guys are."

As soon as the two entered the yard, Fu Linlin pointed to the side and said.

"There are only two families living in this courtyard. The other one is my third uncle's. My eldest uncle and second uncle live in the next courtyard."

At this time, a middle-aged woman came out of the house and said to the two of them with a smile.

"Linlin is back, this is..."
