I'm back in 1990

Chapter 713: Cheng Jing's Thoughts

On Sunday, Huang Erhe accompanied Cheng Jing to visit her parents' home, as usual.

Unexpectedly, all of Cheng's children came back today, which made Cheng's parents very happy. People of their age love the sight of their children and grandchildren all around them.

"Yiwu, here's some money. Go to the deli and buy some cooked food." Cheng's mother said as she took out the money and instructed her youngest son to go buy some cooked food.

Cheng Yiwu, the youngest son of the Cheng family, waved his hand and said, "I have money here, I'll go buy it!" He then left without taking any money.

"Look at this child," Cheng's mother had no choice but to take the money back.

Cheng Li, the eldest daughter of the Cheng family, put her arm around her mother's shoulder and said, "My younger brother earns several thousand yuan a month now, how could I possibly let you pay me any more money?"

Cheng Yiwu changed jobs and now works at Huaxin Group. Because he is not highly educated and only knows how to repair and drive cars, he was assigned to drive commercial vehicles in the small fleet. His main responsibilities are picking up and dropping off clients and taking colleagues out on business.

He works eight hours a day, receives a hearty lunch every day, and gets generous overtime pay. In addition, his salary is more than twice the average wage in Shanghai, making his job much more respectable than before. As a result, he is now living a very comfortable life and has risen to the position of head of the family.

Cheng's mother said with a grateful look, "This is all thanks to Erhe's younger brother's help."

Then he turned to his eldest daughter and said, "You also benefit from your fourth sister and Erhe's influence; otherwise, how could you have gotten a job at the securities company?"

Not long after Cheng Jing and Huang Erhe got married, Cheng Li was arranged to work at a securities company. Huang Erhe didn't know about this at first; it was all arranged by his younger brother, Huang Xiaochuan. But the Cheng family all knew that it was because of Huang Erhe.

So at this moment, Huang Erhe was already a distinguished guest of the Cheng family, and was sitting on the sofa chatting with Cheng's father, his brother-in-law Cheng Yishan, his brother-in-law Sun Jianshe, and his brother-in-law Lü Guanghua.

Cheng Ling, the youngest daughter of the Cheng family, was setting the table with her fourth sister, Cheng Jing, while chattering away to Cheng Jing.

"Fourth Sister, did you know? Someone's chasing me!"

Upon hearing this, Cheng Jing quickly asked, "Really? Who is the other person?"

Cheng Ling glanced at the others discreetly, and seeing that no one was paying attention to her, she whispered to Cheng Jing, "He's a teacher from the University of Finance and Economics, just a bit old."

Upon hearing this, Cheng Jing assumed the other person was a man in his forties and quickly said, "Don't be confused. You're a young lady, why would you want to find an older man instead of a young man?"

Cheng Ling stomped her foot angrily: "Fourth Sister, you didn't even let me finish speaking! He's twenty-eight years old, not over forty!"

Upon hearing this, Cheng Jing felt relieved and asked doubtfully, "Twenty-eight years old, isn't that just right? Is being five or six years older than you considered old? I don't understand what you're thinking?"

Then, with concern, he asked, "Young man, are you from Shanghai? How many siblings do you have?"

Cheng Ling was displeased: "Oh dear, Fourth Sister, we haven't even done anything yet, and you're already checking people's household registrations? You're just like Mom!"

Cheng Jing said angrily, "Can't I even ask?"

Seeing that Cheng Jing was angry, Cheng Ling quickly went to her side, took her arm, and said in a conciliatory tone, "Okay, okay! It was my fault for being ungrateful!"

Cheng Jing tapped Cheng Ling's forehead with her finger: "You!"

At this time, Xie Li, the second sister-in-law, and Xing Jia, Cheng Yiwu's wife, were busy in the kitchen.

The children in the family gathered in the room to play together. Maowa has already settled into his new grandparents' home and is having a great time.

When Cheng Jing got home in the evening, she arranged for Mao Wa and Mi Guo to take a bath and go to bed in turn. School starts tomorrow, so they had to go to bed early tonight.

Taking advantage of this moment, she went to her room and discussed with Huang Erhe, who was lying in bed watching TV, "Erhe, how about we find some time in the next few days to invite Mom, Dad, Sister-in-law, and your brother's family over for a meal? I'll cook!"

Huang Erhe, staring at the television, said dismissively, "Then why don't we go to a restaurant? Aren't you tired of running around at home all by yourself?"

Cheng Jing playfully slapped Huang Erhe on the back: "Is eating at home the same as eating at a restaurant?"

Cheng Jing made this suggestion to thank her parents-in-law and brother-in-law, but mainly to thank her brother-in-law.

Since she married Huang Erhe, apart from Cheng Ling, who had already been assigned to work at the university library, all her older and younger brothers and sisters have been given new jobs.

Cheng Yishan, the older brother, now works at Shidai Logistics Group. Cheng Jie, the third sister, benefits from her brother-in-law Huang Erhe's connections. Now, large companies such as Shidai Commerce Group, Shidai Logistics Group, Guangda Real Estate Group Shanghai Company, and Huaxin Group entrust her with the annual employee travel trips. Therefore, Cheng Jie is now second only to the general manager in their travel company. Their general manager wishes he could treat her like royalty.

It's no exaggeration to say that since Cheng Jing married Huang Erhe, the entire Cheng family has benefited a lot. Cheng Jing is naturally the most aware of this, so she has been thinking about personally cooking a meal to invite her parents-in-law, sister-in-law, and brother-in-law's family to have a meal. She doesn't have anything worthwhile to offer as a token of her gratitude, so inviting them to a meal is the only way to express her thanks.

Huang Erhe looked at Cheng Jing, understanding her thoughts, and took her hand, saying, "Okay, we'll do it your way."

When Cheng Jing saw that Huang Erhe had agreed, a smile immediately appeared on her face: "How about next Saturday then? I don't think there will be any problem with your parents and sister-in-law. The main thing is whether your younger brother and sister-in-law will have time. You know, your younger brother and sister-in-law are usually very busy."

Huang Erhe nodded: "Then I'll call Xiaochuan tomorrow first, and then go to my parents' house to tell them in person. I'll also inform my sister-in-law." Then Huang Erhe added with some concern: "Will you be able to handle everything by yourself? Or should I find a chef from Huahong Hotel to help you?"

Cheng Jing waved her hand and said, "No need for that! I'll have Cheng Ling help me then!"

Seeing that Cheng Jing had already planned it out, Huang Erhe naturally stopped insisting. He was extremely satisfied with Cheng Jing; she was gentle yet resilient, always giving the best to him and their child. Huang Erhe only realized what a happy life was after marrying Cheng Jing.

The couple settled on the dinner invitation. The next day, Huang Erhe took advantage of his lunch break to visit his parents. When Lao Huang and Zeng Lijuan learned that their second daughter-in-law had invited them to their home and would personally cook for them, they were overjoyed. Huang Erhe then invited his sister-in-law Jiang Rong over the phone in front of his parents, and Jiang Rong readily agreed.

When Huang Xiaochuan learned that his second sister-in-law was going to cook a meal for the whole family herself, he smiled and agreed to go.

He also asked, "Second Brother! I'll have someone send some more seafood over! Oh, and some wine too."

Huang Erhe quickly refused, saying, "No need, no need. Just bring your wife and kids. We have everything we need. We still have over twenty cases of Wuliangye and Moutai left from the last time you gave me!"

"Okay, then we'll go on Saturday!"
