Siheyuan: Cao Liang's rise

After dealing with the rabbit, Cao Liang took the potatoes and sweet potatoes back to his room, and then flashed into the space.

He plans to plant potatoes and sweet potatoes early.

Pour everything out, Cao Liang moved his mind, and all the potatoes and sweet potatoes flew up.

Then Cao Liang took control and planted all the potatoes and sweet potatoes.

This was also something Cao Liang had experimented with before. In space, he could control everything with his mind.

This is much more convenient. If it all depends on manpower, it may be okay for one acre of land now, but it will be very troublesome when the space is expanded in the future.

He has to spend a lot of time farming.

After all the potatoes and sweet potatoes were planted, there was still a lot of empty space left and more seeds were needed.

After leaving the space, Cao Liang saw that it was still early, so he told his younger brothers and sisters not to run around and went out.

After half an hour.

Cao Liang came to a yard with its own entrance and courtyard.

At this time, he was holding a bottle of wine, a rabbit and a pheasant in his hands, and he went forward and knocked on the door.

Squeak!

The door was opened and a pretty face appeared. The person was a girl of about sixteen or seventeen years old. She was wearing a white dress and her tall figure made her look youthful and beautiful.

Her name is Liu Lili, and she is the granddaughter of Master Liu Zhen.

That’s right, Liu Zhen was the master who taught Cao Liang Bajiquan, and Cao Liang was Liu Zhen’s last disciple.

When Liu Lili saw Cao Liang, her eyes lit up immediately and she said happily, "Brother Liangzi, why are you here? Come in quickly."

Liu Lili enthusiastically pulled Cao Liang into the house and shouted, "Grandpa, look who's here?"

An old man in his sixties was sitting in the yard. Although his hair had turned a little gray, his eyes were still bright and sharp.

The old man was Cao Liang's master Liu Zhen.

Hearing this, Liu Zhen looked away from the chessboard on the table, raised his eyes and glanced, then waved and said with a smile: "It's Liangzi, come and play two games with me."

"You don't know that Lily is a terrible chess player. There's no point in playing chess with her."

"grandfather."

Liu Lili scolded, "If you keep saying that, I won't play chess with you even if you beg me to do so."

Liu Zhen's wife died early, and he has always lived alone.

Liu Lili only comes to see him on weekends.

"Liangzi is here, why would I need you?"

After Liu Zhen finished speaking, he saw what Cao Liang brought and blamed him, "You kid, your family is not well off, you just came here, why did you bring these things?"

"Respecting the master is what we should do."

Cao Liang replied with a smile and handed the food to Liu Lili, "Lili, go get two dishes. I'll have a drink with the chef later."

"Row."

Liu Lili carried the things and went into the kitchen.

Liu Lili has a cheerful personality. She is not only beautiful but also efficient at work.

It can be said that she is capable of both being a lady in the parlor and being a cook in the kitchen.

It's just because he learned Bajiquan from his grandfather since he was a child, so he usually behaves in a rather fierce manner.

It's okay if you don't provoke her, but once you provoke her, she will hit you hard.

The two men rearranged their chess pieces, and Liu Zhen asked, "Liangzi, have you practiced recently?"

"I've been busy looking for work recently..."

Cao Liang felt a little ashamed.

Moreover, ever since he took the perfect gene serum, he felt that he was now invincible, and there was not much point in practicing Bajiquan.

Liu Zhen thought Cao Liang was in trouble, so he waved his hand and said, "It's okay. As the saying goes, poor literature makes rich martial arts. Practicing martial arts consumes too much energy. Now is a famine year, so there is nothing we can do."

The poor are good at literature and the rich are good at martial arts. This is not just talk.

Since ancient times, those who wanted to learn martial arts had to come from well-off families.

Practicing martial arts consumes a lot of energy, so eating meat every meal is necessary.

Even if you don't have meat every meal, you can't go hungry.

It was fine before, but now Cao Liang’s mother is the only one working in his family. Besides, it is a famine year now, so it is good enough if they are not starving to death. How can they have the time to practice martial arts?

"I'm sorry to disappoint you, Master."

Liu Zhen shook his head, jumped, and asked, "Liangzi, you must have something to do this time, right?"

"Well, it shouldn't be a problem at home."

Cao Liang was very surprised, then he gave a thumbs up and flattered him, "As expected of you, Master, you guessed it right at the first try."

"Stop flattering."

Liu Zhen said unhappily, "You can afford good wine and meat to come to see me, so it's definitely not because your family is short of food. Besides, I don't know you! You are a stubborn person, and even if your family is in financial difficulty, you definitely won't want to come to see me."

This is a fact. It has been three years since Old Cao passed away. No matter how difficult the family life was, Cao Liang never came to ask for help. He was even afraid of troubling Liu Zhen and rarely even visited him.

"Okay! I knew I couldn't hide it from you, Master, so I told you the truth. Master, I got some connections recently, and I wanted to ask you if there is any way to ship the goods."

Hearing his master say this, Cao Liang did not hide it any longer and told him the purpose of his visit.

Liu Zhen's face turned serious, and he said in a deep voice: "Liangzi, we martial artists should behave properly and not engage in those opportunistic things."

"Master, what are you thinking about? I just got some game in my hometown and wanted to find a place to buy it to supplement my family income."

Cao Liang explained.

"You went up the mountain?" Liu Zhen frowned.

Cao Liang remained silent.

After a while.

Liu Zhen sighed and said, "Oh, forget it. I know the difficulties your family is facing, but no matter what, you have to be careful about everything. You are the pillar of the family now. Even for your mother, you can't get into trouble."

"Disciple remembers it."

Liu Zhen then continued, "I have accepted many registered disciples in my early years. One of them works in the black market. His name is Chi Hu. You can go find him when the time comes. If you want to do it for my sake, he will help you."

Liu Zhen accepted many disciples in his early years, but it is said that he only had two closed disciples.

One was Liu Zhen whom he never mentioned to Cao Liang, and the other was Cao Liang.

Cao Liang has the best talent, and Liu Zhen has praised him a lot in the past.

"Thank you, master."

Cao Liang thanked him.

He had thought that his master had a wide network of contacts and would know this kind of person, but he didn't expect that there really was one.

Having achieved his goal, Cao Liang relaxed a lot and began to play chess seriously with his master.

After half an hour.

After Cao Liang's "hard work", he was finally defeated by his master.

Master Liu Zhen won and laughed loudly, "Boy, your chess skills have improved recently. You almost beat me."

Cao Liang smiled and said, "That can't be possible. Master, I don't think I can beat you in chess even after ten years."

Liu Zhen nodded complacently and said, "That's right, you still have a lot of practice to do."

"Grandpa, Brother Liangzi, it's time to eat!"

At this time, Liu Lili came out with the dishes.

She braised the rabbit meat and made soup with the pheasant.

Looking at the delicious food, Cao Liang joked, "Lily, you are such a good cook and you are also very pretty. I don't know which boy will get you the chance in the future."

When Liu Lili heard this, her pretty face flushed and she said angrily, "Cao Liang, if you keep talking nonsense, I won't give you any food."

"Why call me Cao Liang? That's rude. According to seniority, you should call me Uncle Master."

Liu Zhen is his master, so Liu Zhen’s son is his senior brother, and it is not wrong to say so.

"You still said."

Liu Lili suddenly became angry and pretended to hit someone.

"Alright you two, eat well."

Seeing this, Liu Zhen had to try to smooth things over, and the two men finally calmed down.

Liu Lili glared at Cao Liang fiercely, feeling very unhappy.

This guy is just a blockhead. He just doesn’t know his own feelings. Humph, a dead blockhead.

After dinner, Cao Liang said goodbye and went back.
