Siheyuan: Cao Liang's rise

Cao Liang thought for a moment and said, "Well, since that guy doesn't want to do it and you are really worried, let's find a compromise."

"What method?" Meng Xiaoxing asked.

Cao Liang smiled and said, "There are people working in the textile factory in the yards around us. This place is quite far from the textile factory. I will go and discuss whether we can exchange it."

After Meng Xiaoxing became a regular employee, she was also given a house, which was the one they had rented before.

"If it's next door, Xiaotao can come over here even if Monkey is not here, and you don't have to worry. Is that okay?"

"can."

Meng Xiaoxing's eyes lit up and she nodded repeatedly.

In this way, it will be convenient for her to take care of Xiaotao.

Then she hesitated and said, "But I'm afraid that brat Monkey won't agree to this."

Cao Liang smiled and said, "I'll go talk to him."

"That's good. That kid usually only listens to you."

Speaking of this, Meng Xiaoxing felt a little jealous.

Between Cao Liang and her, Monkey tends to listen to Cao Liang.

"Why are you jealous?"

Cao Liang pulled the beautiful woman into his arms and said with a smile: "What Monkey said is right. After all, he has grown up and become sensible. He will have no problem taking care of Xiao Tao."

Meng Xiaoxing blushed and punched Cao Liang's chest, then asked, "When are we going back to the countryside?"

"I will go back when the salary is paid. I will also need to prepare things when I return."

Cao Liang gently patted Meng Xiaoxing's shoulder and said with a smile: "The three turns and one ring are all ready, but we don't have much space here, so let's put it over there!"

Meng Xiaoxing naturally had no objection.

Cao Liang added: "Look around our house, is there anything else you want to add? I'll go buy some other day."

“It’s fine now.”

Meng Xiaoxing shook her head and then said with emotion: "I am so lucky to have met you in this life. If my family were still alive and saw that I married such a good man, they would definitely be happy for me, right?"

"That's my luck too."

Cao Liang comforted her, "It's okay. You have me from now on. My family is your family, and you also have two younger brothers and sisters, Monkey and Xiaotao."

"Ah."

Meng Xiaoxing nodded with emotion.

Suddenly, Meng Xiaoxing's pretty face turned red, and she said angrily, "Don't move your hands."

Cao Liang continued to move, and said with a smile: "Why are you shy? We are already an old married couple."

"Don't make a fuss. Wait until we come back from the country and get the certificate."

Meng Xiaoxing broke free from Cao Liang.

Cao Liang was not in a hurry. After all, he had waited for so long, so a few more days didn't matter.

...

Easy home.

The couple looked worried, both of them were troubled by the issue of retirement.

Aunt Yi hesitated for a long time, and finally said, "Old Yi, we can't rely on Zhuzi now, why don't we adopt one?"

Ever since Qin Huairu went to the kitchen, she and Sha Zhu have been getting along very well.

With the help of Sha Zhu's relationship, Qin Huairu has been converted to a regular employee.

Now I am learning how to cook big pot dishes from Shazhu.

Although it was very hard work, Qin Huairu learned very seriously and Sha Zhu also taught sincerely. I heard that Qin Huairu has started to cook.

And Sha Zhu's whole heart was on Qin Huairu. The Jia family was out of control again. Not only did he lose his status as a steward, but his salary also shrunk a lot.

We definitely can't rely on Shazhu.

Although Sha Zhu is usually willing to listen to Yi Zhonghai, he will turn hostile once Qin Huairu is involved.

Ugh!

Yi Zhonghai sighed and said, "Let me try again. If there is really no other way, then I'll listen to you!"

Aunt Yi was delighted.

Over the years, she has mentioned adopting a child more than once, but was rejected by Yi Zhonghai in the end.

But now he finally gave in.

As for what Yi Zhonghai was going to try, she knew it too. It was nothing more than trying to see if Sha Zhu was willing to support them in their old age.

But Aunt Yi felt that her husband was destined to be disappointed.

The adoption of the child should be a sure thing.

Yi Zhonghai put out his cigarette and went to Sha Zhu's house.

"Uncle? Why are you here?"

Sha Zhu politely invited Yi Zhonghai into the house.

As for the title?

Although Yi Zhonghai's position as manager had been dismissed, Sha Zhu still did not change his mind.

"I have something to tell you."

After Yi Zhonghai sat down, he asked, "Zhu Zi, how are you going to spend this year?"

"What do you mean, sir?"

Sha Zhu asked back.

When Yi Zhonghai heard this, he knew that Sha Zhu had a plan, so he said bluntly: "What I mean is that our two families, as well as the old lady in the backyard, can live together. What do you think?"

"What about the Jia family?" asked Sha Zhu.

As for his sister?

They haven't spoken to each other since that falling out.

Even if he went to shout, He Yushui probably wouldn't go.

Yi Zhonghai shook his head, "Just our two families plus the old lady."

The Jia family is out of control, so there is no need for him to pretend anymore.

"Probably not."

Sha Zhu said embarrassedly: "Uncle, I have already promised Sister Qin that I will go to her house during the Chinese New Year this year."

...Yi Zhonghai was silent for a long time, and finally got up and left.

"What do you mean? Just leaving like that?"

Sha Zhu was completely confused and didn't understand what Yi Zhonghai meant at all.

And what about Yi Zhonghai?

He definitely wouldn't talk about the retirement matter openly. After all, he was very suspicious. Even if Sha Zhu agreed verbally, he still felt it was unreliable.

Just look at the performance of Shazhu.

But Sha Zhu's performance obviously made him very dissatisfied.

Now Sha Zhu has been controlled by Qin Huairu.

When they are together in the future, Qin Huairu probably won't be willing to let Sha Zhu support her in her old age.

So he just left.

After returning home.

Yi Zhonghai said directly to Aunt Yi: "I agree to adopt a child."

"Really?"

When Aunt Yi heard this, she was overjoyed.

Yi Zhonghai nodded.

"Great."

Aunt Yi couldn't wait to ask, "Old Yi, when are we going? I've asked around, and there are still many children without parents at the street office."

"Don't worry, let me think about it."

Yi Zhonghai soothed.

Adopting a child is for the purpose of providing for one’s old age, so one must be careful and cautious.

Otherwise, you will end up raising an ungrateful person and it will not be worth it.

Therefore, we still need to observe carefully first. It would be best if we can test it, but it is probably impossible.

the next day.

Cao Liang asked someone in their alley to ask if anyone wanted to exchange the house near the textile factory.

He actually found one, and it happened to be from the yard next to theirs.

Cao Liang went to see it and found that the house was about the same size as the one Meng Xiaoxing and her family lived in now, and it was big enough for Monkey and Xiaotao to live in.

After giving some gifts and having some discussions, the other party agreed.

Then both parties went to the street office to handle the formalities.

So we started moving.

When Cao Liang went to talk to Monkey about it, the boy didn't want to agree at first.

But after Cao Liang glared at him a few times and said that he couldn't take good care of Xiao Tao, Monkey reluctantly agreed.
