Siheyuan: Cao Liang's rise

As soon as Lou Xiao'e left, another person walked towards them.

He Yushui came over with an embarrassed look on his face. Seeing Meng Xiaoxing was there too, He Yushui said shyly, "Cao Liang, can you please talk to me for a moment?"

Cao Liang took a glance and saw tear marks on He Yushui's face, obviously she had just cried.

My waist was pinched instantly.

Cao Liang knew that this tiger woman must be jealous again.

Cao Liang was also speechless.

Lou Xiao'e is fine, but why did He Yushui come to see him?

He said calmly: "We don't seem to be familiar with each other?"

He even went to his house to question him.

Hearing this, He Yushui didn't care about the embarrassment and said, "Cao Liang, since we are elementary school classmates, can you lend me some food? Just some corn flour will do."

She had no choice.

She first went to Yi Zhonghai, but Yi Zhonghai said that all the food had been taken to the Jia family and there was no food left at home.

There was no choice but for her to go to the deaf old lady’s house again.

But she saw the deaf old lady eating noodles, and she hid when she saw her coming.

So she turned around and left without saying a word.

This is to guard against her. It's probably useless to ask.

The Jia family definitely cannot borrow it.

The others also took a rest.

She had no choice but to go to the front yard to take a look.

I saw that the light was still on in Cao Liang's house, so I had no choice but to come over.

Cao Liang asked curiously, "Aren't your families celebrating the New Year together? I saw Sha Zhu bring a piece of meat to Jia's house at noon. Didn't you go to eat it?"

“I did, but…”

He Yushui hesitated to speak and finally just shook his head.

Cao Liang looked at Meng Xiaoxing, meaning to let her make the decision.

The two have been together for so long that they have developed a tacit understanding.

Meng Xiaoxing said, "There are some leftovers from tonight at home. If you don't mind, I'll heat them up for you?"

"No problem, thank you."

He Yushui said quickly.

"Then wait."

Meng Xiaoxing went back to the house after she finished speaking.

Only Cao Liang and He Yushui were left there. The two were not familiar with each other and didn't say a word to each other.

after awhile.

Meng Xiaoxing came out with a lunch box and handed it to He Yushui.

"Thank you, I'll pay it back."

After He Yushui finished speaking, he went back.

"Cao Liang, you won't blame me for acting on my own, right?" Meng Xiaoxing asked.

Cao Liang shook his head and said with a smile: "It's just some leftovers. It's nothing. I also told you to decide."

"That's good."

Meng Xiaoxing asked curiously, "I seem to remember that there are only her and her brother in her family. Why is it that she and her brother don't have a good relationship?"

"It was fine before, but now... it's hard to say."

As soon as Jia Dongxu leaves, Qin Huairu will awaken her "White Lotus" physique.

When the time comes, Sha Zhu will be held captive by the Jia family and have his blood sucked, and He Yushui will be miserable.

This is just the beginning, she will cry more later.

Her father was really a nice guy, naming her Rainwater, and she lived up to the name in the days that followed.

"If you don't say it, don't say it."

Meng Xiaoxing curled her lips and said to Yaya and Xiaotao, "Yaya, Xiaotao, stop playing, go wash your hands, and go back to bed."

...

The next day.

New Year's Day.

Cao Liang gave red envelopes to all the younger ones.

Chen Huilan also gave him and Meng Xiaoxing a red envelope each.

After lunch, Meng Xiaoxing and the others went back.

Said he would come back tomorrow.

Cao Liang estimated that Gangzi and others would come over to pay New Year’s greetings tomorrow.

It's almost the same every year.

During the New Year, aren’t we all visiting people and wishing everyone a happy new year?

The third day of junior high school.

Cao Liang came to Li Huaide's home carrying a bag of apples, cigarettes, alcohol and two chickens.

I spent the New Year in my hometown last year, so I didn’t go.

I have to go this year no matter what. After all, I will still have to work under him for the next few years.

Li Huaide lives in a tube-shaped building.

The one who opened the door was Li Huaide's wife Zhang Mei. When she saw it was Cao Liang, she said happily, "Oh, it's Xiao Cao! Come in and sit down."

After saying that, he made way for the fat body and shouted inside: "Lao Li, Xiao Cao is here."

Li Huaide's wife is not good-looking and has no figure.

No wonder Li Huaide always goes out to cheat on his wife.

Cao Liang handed over the thing in his hand and said with a smile: "Aunt, this is a little gift from me, please don't despise it."

"Hey, what are you complaining about? As long as they are here, that's enough."

Zhang Mei took the bag with a smile, took a quick look, and said in surprise: "Wow, you can still get such fresh apples at this time, Xiao Cao, you are thoughtful."

"As long as Auntie likes it."

Cao Liang said modestly.

When I entered the room, I saw Li Huaide sitting on the sofa drinking tea.

Seeing Cao Liang coming, he smiled and said, "Little Cao, you're here? Come and sit down."

"uncle."

Cao Liang called out, sat down, and then whispered, "Uncle, I brought you something good today."

As he spoke, he winked at Li Huaide.

Oh?

Li Huaide was slightly stunned. For Cao Liang to think that something was good, it must be something extraordinary.

"Let's go to my study and talk."

As he walked, he said to Zhang Mei, "Xiao Cao is having dinner at home today, please prepare a few more dishes."

"In your words?"

Only then did Li Huaide feel satisfied and took Cao Liang into the study and closed the door.

Cao Liang took out a bottle of tiger bone wine from behind.

This is a small bottle he made from the big bottle.

After all, good things should be put to good use, right?

The flow rate of tiger bone wine through the space is now ready.

"Is this... tiger bone wine?"

Li Huaide only took a glance at it and excitedly snatched it away. After seeing the tiger bones soaked inside, he was surprised and said, "I didn't expect that you could even get this thing?"

"I saw it by chance at a friend's house, and I happened to remember that my uncle might need it, so I asked for some."

Cao Liang said with a smile.

Li Huaide opened the bottle cap and smelled it, and said with satisfaction: "Hmm, it tastes good, not bad, Xiao Cao, you are thoughtful."

"As long as uncle likes it."

Cao Liang joked, "It's worth the effort I put in to get it from my friend."

"You boy."

Li Huaide cursed with a smile, then happily found a good place to hide the wine. He couldn't let his wife at home know about it.

Otherwise, would he still want to protect his old waist?

Such a good thing, I must go out and find wild flowers to try it.

After hiding the wine, Li Huaide took out a bunch of bills from his drawer and handed them to Cao Liang, saying, "You are not short of money, take these bills."

"Thank you, uncle."

Cao Liang didn't hesitate to take it and put it in his pocket.

Don't worry that Li Huaide is unhappy. That's just the kind of person he is.

And Cao Liang didn't ask for anything, which was what Li Huaide was most satisfied with.

Otherwise, with Cao Liang's achievements, he should have become a cadre long ago.

Had a meal at Li Huaide's house.

After they drank a bottle of wine, Cao Liang said goodbye. Before leaving, Zhang Mei gave him a lot of gifts in return.

It wasn't that Cao Liang was in a hurry to leave, but he was driven away by Li Huaide's eyes.

Cao Liang felt that the old man must be in a hurry to go out and find wild flowers to test the efficacy of tiger bone wine.

Cao Liang didn't understand this thing either, but he heard Chi Hu say that it was very nourishing. Li Huaide seemed satisfied as well, so it should be effective.

But given his physical condition, he probably won't be able to use this thing in his lifetime.
