Siheyuan: Cao Liang's rise

Red Star Steel Rolling Mill.

During lunch, Yi Zhonghai came to the kitchen and found Sha Zhu. He pulled him to a corner and whispered, "Zhu Zi, are you okay this weekend?"

"It's okay! What can happen to me?"

Sha Zhu shook his head.

It was only the beginning of 62, and the disaster year had not yet completely passed, so naturally no one would invite him to cook at any wedding or funeral.

"It's okay."

Yi Zhonghai urged: "Buy some good food on the weekend. I've found a date for you. You can treat her when the time comes."

"Really?"

Sha Zhu's eyes lit up, and he immediately asked, "Uncle, is that girl pretty? Is she educated?"

Yi Zhonghai was depressed and said earnestly: "Zhu Zi, marrying a wife is for living, and you should find a virtuous wife. You should listen to the uncle, and the uncle will not harm you."

After leaving the deaf old lady that day, Yi Zhonghai went back and thought about it for a few days, and finally chose a compromise.

That is to listen to the deaf old lady and find a reliable partner for Sha Zhu.

As for what is reliable? Of course, it means being willing to provide for his old age.

There is no hope for the Jia family anymore.

It's not cost-effective to adopt one, and I'm worried that I might raise an ungrateful child.

That's why Yi Zhonghai did this.

He had been asking around these past few days and finally found a suitable girl.

The girl has only an elderly grandmother at home and no other brothers or sisters.

She is also very filial, except that her grandmother has been bedridden for many years.

But this just meets Yi Zhonghai's needs. Once her grandmother passes away, she will have nothing to worry about.

Moreover, the girl was willing to go on a blind date with Sha Zhu only after Yi Zhonghai gave her ten yuan to buy medicine for her grandmother.

He is a good person, but he has no job and his appearance is just average.

Not to mention culture.

That's why Yi Zhonghai gave Sha Zhu a shot of prevention in advance.

Sha Zhu nodded in agreement: "Yes, just like Sister Qin, she knows how to live."

When Yi Zhonghai heard Sha Zhu talking about Qin Huairu, his face darkened.

With Qin Huairu around, Sha Zhu’s blind date probably won’t go smoothly.

So Yi Zhonghai advised: "Zhu Zi, it's best not to tell anyone about your blind date. Wait until it's done."

"why?"

Sha Zhu was very puzzled.

Blind dates are not something to be ashamed of, so why should we hide it?

Of course, that was to guard against Qin Huairu's sabotage, and Yi Zhonghai definitely couldn't say that.

He had no choice but to say, "Don't forget, you and Xu Damao are sworn enemies. If he knew you were going on a blind date, he would definitely try to sabotage it."

"He dares! I can't beat him to death."

Sha Zhu glared.

"Anyway, just listen to me and keep it a secret. I'm going to eat first because I have to go to work in the afternoon."

After giving the instructions, Yi Zhonghai went to eat.

When Sha Zhu returned to the kitchen, Qin Huairu asked, "Zhu Zi, what did the old man want to talk to you about just now?"

"Hey, isn't it about blind dates? An old man introduced me to a blind date and asked me to entertain her this weekend."

Sha Zhu waved his hand nonchalantly.

He had long forgotten Yi Zhonghai's instructions.

Or maybe because Yi Zhonghai only reminded him to pay attention to Xu Damao, he did not hide anything from Qin Huairu.

Hearing this, Qin Huairu's face changed.

Shazhu can’t go on blind dates.

Once Sha Zhu got married, how could she control him? Let Sha Zhu teach her cooking?

Sha Zhu has already promised her that he will talk to Wang Fugui about her becoming a regular employee next month.

If nothing unexpected happens, Wang Fugui should give face to Sha Zhu.

If her family wants to live a good life, they will definitely need Sha Zhu for a short period of time.

Not until she has learned Sha Zhu's skills.

Therefore, Shazhu cannot get married yet.

Thinking of this, Qin Huairu forced a smile and said, "This is a good thing! Zhuzi, Sister Qin is here to congratulate you now."

But in my heart I was thinking about how to ruin Sha Zhu's blind date.

...

The weekend is here in a blink of an eye.

Sha Zhu came back to the courtyard humming a tune, carrying a pound of meat.

When Yan Bugui saw the meat, his eyes lit up and he said with a smile, "Shazhu, the third uncle has a bottle of wine at home. How about I go downstairs and have a drink with you?"

"Hey, go cool down. I don't dare drink your wine. Besides, this meat is still very useful. Goodbye!"

Sha Zhu teased him a few times and then went back with the meat.

"This silly Zhu is still so stingy."

Yan Bugui said depressedly.

Cao Liang's house.

Cao Liang was awakened by the noise.

When he opened his eyes, he saw Meng Xiaoxing helping him clean the house.

Seeing that he was awake, Meng Xiaoxing said unhappily, "How can you sleep like this? It's almost noon now."

"And your room is a mess, and you don't even know how to clean it up. You always have to wait for me to clean it up."

"It's okay today!"

Cao Liang stood up and walked over to hug her from behind, saying with a smile: "As for cleaning the house? I have you here!"

"Go away!"

Meng Xiaoxing pushed Cao Liang away and said shyly, "Won't I be embarrassed to death if my aunt comes over and sees me later?"

"What's the big deal? He can't wait to have his grandson!"

Cao Liang smiled.

"Go wash up quickly! Auntie has prepared dinner."

Meng Xiaoxing urged.

Cao Liang could only go and wash up obediently.

After washing up, the two went to the main house.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw Lou Xiaoe.

Cao Liang frowned and asked, "Lou Xiao'e? Why are you here?"

Lou Xiaoe snorted, "We are neighbors, why can't I be here? Besides, I'm not here to see you, I'm here to eat for free."

Meng Xiaoxing went straight into the kitchen.

Seeing her come in, Chen Huilan was afraid that she might misunderstand, so she explained, "Xu Damao is not at home, Xiao'e doesn't know how to cook, and she doesn't know anyone in the yard, so she brought food to her house to have a meal."

Although she opposed Cao Liang and Lou Xiao'e's relationship at first, it was only because of her family background.

But now Lou Xiao'e is married, and they are still neighbors. Lou Xiao'e is usually very nice to Xiao Ming and Yaya, and often gives them delicious food.

Now that they have come to her house, of course she won't chase them away.

Meng Xiaoxing smiled and said, "Aunt, you don't have to say these things. I don't care."

Lou Xiao'e is already married, so is Cao Liang going to get involved?

Isn’t it nice to be a virgin like me?

She is still very confident about this.

"That's good."

Chen Huilan felt relieved.

while eating.

Cao Liang picked up a piece of bacon and gave it to Meng Xiaoxing, and asked, "Isn't Monkey here today?"

"That kid is still sleeping! He just came back this morning."

Meng Xiaoxing complained.

"It's okay. He will either stay overnight at Gangzi's house or Dongzi's house. He will be fine."

Cao Liang smiled and comforted.

"Ah."

Meng Xiaoxing nodded. She was not familiar with Dongzi and the others, but she trusted Cao Liang.

Cao Liang looked at Lou Xiao'e and asked, "Lou Xiao'e, is your Xu Damao not at home?"

They just got the marriage certificate, shouldn’t they be in a happy and loving mood?

But Lou Xiao'e came to his house for dinner, so he must be away.
