I'm back in 1990

Chapter 1146: Taking a Post in Another Location

After lunch, Huang Zeji returned to school, while Huang Ruiying said she went out to go shopping with her classmates. Tang Yuan and Yu Xiang watched the two little ones playing while chatting.

Yu Cheng'an and Huang Ruisha are the same age, but Yu Cheng'an is a month older than Huang Ruisha. However, boys grow taller quickly, and although they are both four years old, Yu Cheng'an is significantly taller than Huang Ruisha.

Yu Xiang asked her sister-in-law, "Are you really going to let Yu Wei go to Yanjing alone? Living apart in these two places isn't a good thing!"

The story goes on for a long time. At the end of last year, Tang Yuan's father passed away, but his influence was still there. Since Yu Wei's brother-in-law, Tang Yuan'an, was getting old and his rank was already quite high, it was not appropriate to promote him further. So, the benefits naturally fell to Yu Wei. In September, the General Administration issued a transfer order, transferring him to the General Administration and promoting him one rank.

Yu Wei and Tang Yuan had already discussed the matter of the couple moving to another city. After all, the job transfer was due to the old man's influence, and it wouldn't be appropriate for them not to go. Besides, their brother-in-law, Tang Yuan'an, would be there to take care of them in Yanjing, and the house was already available.

Moreover, Tang Yuan'an also said that this time Yu Wei was sent to the government office to hone his skills and enrich his resume, and he would still be assigned to a local position in the future. Therefore, Tang Yuan did not plan to bring her family back to Yanjing. Although she grew up in Yanjing, she preferred Shanghai.

So Tang Yuan said to her sister-in-law, "My brother said that Yu Wei will probably only stay in Yanjing for two or three years before being sent down to another city. Besides, Pingping is still young, and our parents are getting old, so I don't want to go through all that trouble."

Yu Xiang knew that the parents Tang Yuan mentioned were Lao Yu and Zheng Aiying. Since the couple had already considered this, that was even better.

She then inquired about Tang Yuan's mother's condition: "How is your mother now?"

"My mom is doing great. She lives with my brother and sister-in-law now. Besides, she's healthier than my dad, and she likes to go on group tours when she has free time."

Yu Xiang nodded and made a suggestion: "When it gets cold, let your mother, your parents, and your parents go to Hong Kong for a while. I'll arrange for them to have a full check-up and recuperate."

"Okay, I'll call my mom later." Tang Yuan was happy to accept her sister-in-law's suggestion. Although there were many medical institutions in Yanjing with high standards, her mother could not enjoy special care and could only queue up to register like everyone else. If she wanted to see a specialist, her older brother Tang Yuan'an would have to pull some strings.

The eldest sister-in-law is family, and also the actual controller of Kangci, the largest medical group in Asia. Arranging for her mother to be hospitalized for recuperation is no big deal for her.

At this moment, Zheng Aiying walked over: "Did your mother-in-law and father-in-law quarrel again?"

Yu Xiang didn't answer immediately, but instead asked her elderly mother, "Did my mother-in-law call you?"

Zheng Aiying nodded: "She called me early this morning and asked me to come see her, but she refused. Later she said she was going to Xiao Chuan's uncle's house."

Yu Xiang was speechless at her mother-in-law's behavior. Why did she have to make such a fuss about it, letting several families know about it? Was it really necessary?

At this point, Zheng Aiying asked her daughter, "What's the reason this time?"

"It's not a big deal. My mother-in-law told Xiaodong to hurry up and find a girlfriend. My father-in-law felt that Xiaodong was still young and that it was none of my mother-in-law's business, so he said a few words to her and that's why he got angry."

As for her in-laws' mother, Zeng Lijuan, Zheng Aiying didn't know what to say. She was just bored. It was nothing more than the old couple arguing a bit, yet she went to her younger brother's house. How old are they? Why do they still go back to their parents' house to complain when something happens?

But while I may think it, I can't say it like that.

Zheng Aiying said to her eldest daughter, "Your mother-in-law is getting old. Ask Xiaochuan to persuade his father to be more accommodating to her."

Yu Xiang gestured towards Huang Xiaochuan, who was chatting with Yu Wei, and said, "Why don't you tell your son-in-law this yourself? He's right in front of you, why do you need me to relay the message?"

These words angered Zheng Aiying, who glared at her eldest daughter.

Meanwhile, Huang Xiaochuan and Yu Wei, the brother-in-law, were drinking tea and chatting.

"Dad's energy is really not what it used to be."

Yu Wei agreed, remarking, "Yes, if the old man doesn't take a nap at noon these days, he'll have no energy for the whole afternoon."

After chatting about the elderly in their families for a while, the two then turned their conversation to their children.

Yu Chengping was the same age as Huang Zeji and Huang Ruiying, and he also went to university, but he attended a junior college, a police anti-smuggling school located in Guanzhong.

However, this school is not well known to outsiders, and many prospective students and their parents have no idea that such a school exists. This is what is known as the information gap.

Yu Wei knew about this school because after the customs reform, anti-smuggling police were included in the national police force and were no longer managed by the customs alone. The police academy was a school that specifically trained professional anti-smuggling police. After studying for three years, students could enter the system by taking a unified police entrance exam.

As a senior customs officer, Yu Wei was naturally aware of this matter. In addition, although Yu Chengping's academic performance was not particularly outstanding, he would still have no problem getting into this school. Moreover, both Yu Wei and Lao Yu believed that Yu Chengping was more suited to working within the system.

This is tantamount to Yu Chengping replicating the path his father once walked. Growing up in a family within the system, Yu Chengping was influenced by his grandfather and father from a young age, and working in the system became his ideal. This is the difference between ordinary families and families like the Yu family that have been within the system for a long time.

As they chatted, the two sighed again, realizing how many years had passed in the blink of an eye, and that their children were now in college.

"Yu Wei, do you remember when we were in junior high school, you dragged me up to the roof of Xu Ai'ai's house on the third floor? You were hanging upside down, peeping at what Xu Ai'ai was doing at home. I was desperately holding onto your legs on the roof. Thinking about it now gives me chills. If I had hesitated even a little bit back then, you would be dead."

Upon hearing this, Yu Wei immediately glanced at Tang Yuan guiltily. Seeing that she was chatting with her older sister and mother and hadn't noticed him, he felt relieved.

He lowered his voice and said, "This happened so long ago. Don't ever talk about it again. If Tang Yuan and my mom find out, neither of us will escape."

Seeing his brother-in-law's cowardly appearance, Huang Xiaochuan immediately laughed happily: "You! Why are you getting more and more timid?"

Yu Wei laughed, shook his head, and said self-deprecatingly, "I was really naive back then! I didn't consider the consequences of my actions. Thinking about it now, it's quite scary. If I had fallen, I would have been crippled even if I hadn't died."
