Siheyuan: Cao Liang's rise

hospital.

Liu Haizhong woke up slowly.

"Old Liu, you are finally awake."

Second Aunt was also relieved when she saw Liu Haizhong wake up.

When Liu Haizhong fell unconscious in the morning, she felt like the sky was falling.

The eldest son she loved the most ran away, and the head of the household was so angry that she fainted. She usually looked at Liu Haizhong, and she was panicked for a moment.

Now that I see Liu Haizhong waking up, I feel a lot more at ease.

Liu Guangtian stepped forward cautiously and asked, "Dad, are you okay? Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere else?"

Liu Haizhong had always disliked the second and third brothers. When he heard this, he immediately became furious and said, "You're not going to die yet."

Upon hearing this, Liu Guangtian secretly clenched his fists.

He originally thought that his father would change his attitude towards them after his eldest brother ran away, but he didn't expect that it would remain the same as before.

He secretly resented: Why didn't Old Deng just wake up? Then, he could take over his job, and he would be the master of the family, and he could do whatever he wanted.

But now Liu Haizhong was fine, so in order to avoid being beaten, he had to lower his head.

Liu Haizhong asked the second aunt, "Old lady, Guangqi, have you found it?"

The second aunt's face froze, then she gritted her teeth and told the truth: "Lao Liu, the eldest brother, without telling us, signed up to go to the northwest to support construction."

"I found out after an old man went to the street office to ask."

Liu Haizhong fell silent after hearing this, with no expression on his face, and no one knew what he was thinking.

The second aunt cried, "Lao Liu, do you think the eldest brother will never come back?"

Liu Haizhong came back to his senses and scolded, "What nonsense! The boss went to the northwest to support construction. He is highly conscious and will be back in two years. Maybe he will be a leader by then."

Even now, Liu Haizhong is still willing to believe Liu Guangqi.

As for his escape, the only reason he chose to leave secretly was because time was tight and the boss was afraid that he would not agree.

Otherwise, why would he run away from home when I was so good to him and gave him all the good things?

"Yes, yes. When Guangqi arrives, he will definitely write back to let us know he is safe."

Second Aunt had the same idea.

Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu secretly curled their lips when they heard this, thinking that the two people were overthinking.

The eldest brother and his wife took away all the family belongings, and they left secretly.

They also know Liu Guangqi quite well.

I feel that Liu Guangqi will definitely not come back.

The eldest sister-in-law is the only daughter in her family, and they think the eldest daughter is most likely to marry into the family.

It was my sister-in-law's idea to go to the northwest this time.

This is indeed the case. Since Liu Guangqi ran away, he has not returned for several years, not to mention not even sending a letter back.

But that’s all for another day.

...

the other side.

Cao Liang was slacking off at the factory. When it was almost noon, he went to the department store, bought a bed, and had it delivered to Meng Xiaoxing's home.

"Comrade, this way."

Cao Liang gave directions to the delivery man Wobo and asked them to move the bed in.

"Xiao Tao, Xiao Tao, come out for a moment."

Cao Liang shouted into the house.

Xiao Tao came out quickly, "Big brother, why are you here?"

Soon he saw the bed at the back and said happily, "Big brother, this bed is so beautiful, did you buy it for me?"

"If you like, you and your sister Xingzi can sleep on this one and let your brother sleep on the old one."

Cao Liang smiled and touched her head, then motioned to Wobo to carry the bed inside.

After finishing it, he paid the money and left.

At this time, Meng Xiaoxing also came back, and with her was a girl of the same age.

Xiao Tao was playing at the door. When she saw Meng Xiao Xing coming back, she said happily, "Sister Xingzi, big brother is here and bought me a new bed. It's so beautiful."

"This guy is wasting money again."

Meng Xiaoxing complained habitually, but the corners of her mouth slightly raised as she asked, "Where are the others?"

"Big brother is cooking in the kitchen!"

Xiao Tao replied.

The girl next to him asked curiously, "Xingzi, is the big brother Xiaotao mentioned yours?"

Meng Xiaoxing nodded with a red face.

This girl was none other than the daughter of Aunt Ning next door. Her name was Ning Xiaofang. She also worked in the textile factory and, like Meng Xiaoxing, was an apprentice.

Ning Xiaofang said enviously: "Xingzi, you are so lucky to have found someone who treats you so well, giving you gifts and cooking for you."

She also heard from her mother that when they moved that day, it was Meng Xiaoxing's boyfriend who helped with the move.

Not only does he look decent, he is also generous.

She also wants someone like this.

Meng Xiaoxing pouted and said, "He's not that good! He's usually very domineering and often makes decisions for me."

Ning Xiaofang looked at her speechlessly and thought, when you complain, can you please put away the smile on your face?

At this time, Cao Liang heard the noise and came out wearing an apron.

"You're back! The meal is ready. Just wash your hands and you can eat."

Cao Liang said with a smile, then nodded to Ning Xiaofang, "Hello."

Meng Xiaoxing introduced: "Her name is Ning Xiaofang, she is the daughter of Aunt Ning next door, and she is also my colleague."

Then she introduced him to Ning Xiaofang: "Xiaofang, his name is Cao Liang, and he is my... boyfriend."

Cao Liang chuckled and said, "Hello, Comrade Xiaofang."

"Hello."

Ning Xiaofang looked at Cao Liang openly, and was even more envious when she saw that Cao Liang was not only handsome but also energetic.

But she was very sensible and didn't want to be a light bulb, so she said, "Xingzi, I'll go back first, and we'll go to the factory together later."

"Xiaofang, would you like to eat at my house?" Meng Xiaoxing invited.

"No, next time."

Ning Xiaofang winked at Meng Xiaoxing and went back.

Quite sensible.

Cao Liang smiled.

Said to Xiaotao: "Xiaotao, go wash your hands and eat."

"Okay big brother."

When Meng Xiaoxing entered the room, she saw the new bed.

He immediately complained: "Why did you buy a bed? The kang is big enough for us to sleep on."

Then he saw the steamed buns and chicken on the table, "No wonder Auntie said you were a spendthrift. What's your current situation? Who eats chicken every other day?"

Cao Liang set the table and said with a smile, "Now that the monkey has grown up, how can it be bad to sleep on the same kang with you?"

Meng Xiaoxing also understood what Cao Liang meant.

Monkey is fourteen years old now. If he lived in the countryside, he could find a wife in two years. It is indeed inappropriate.

She just didn't want Cao Liang to spend money.

Besides, they haven't registered yet, and she feels embarrassed that Cao Liang keeps giving her gifts.

"Not next time."

Meng Xiaoxing didn't say anything in the end and sat down to eat.

After all, she had some understanding of Cao Liang.

As long as she said one word, Cao Liang would definitely have several more words waiting for her.

Xiaotao also came back after washing her hands.

Cao Liang picked up a chicken leg for her.

"Thank you, big brother."

Xiao Tao thanked her and started eating.

Cao Liang asked, "Where's the monkey? Hasn't he come back yet?"

Meng Xiaoxing said unhappily, "He must be with his brother Dongzi. Ever since you asked him to work with Wang Dong and the others, he has been away from home for three days and two days."

"The monkey also wants to share the pressure with you."

Cao Liang helped to smooth things over.

"Do I need him to share the pressure with me?"

"Okay, okay, you are right. Let's eat."
