Siheyuan: Cao Liang's rise

Twenty-seventh day of the year.

Cao Liang's family, Meng Xiaoxing's family, Gangzi, Wang Dong and Gu Wen returned to the countryside.

Wang Dong and Gu Wen also got a bicycle this year, and asked Chi Hu to help them get the tickets.

Including Gangzi’s bicycle, there are five bicycles in total.

Just enough.

Originally, Cao Liang wanted them to go on the day of the wedding.

After all, Gangzi and his friends were guests that day.

Those guys all said that they were brothers and should go and help.

Cao Liang naturally wouldn't be polite and just let them do as they pleased.

Near noon, the group finally returned to Gaoling Village.

Cao family.

The family was waiting at the village entrance early.

The old lady was extremely anxious.

Cao Liang had already announced in advance that he would bring his girlfriend back today to hold a wedding banquet.

The old lady naturally took it very seriously.

He insisted on waiting at the village entrance early in the morning.

Cao Dashan and his second uncle's family were all there.

Second Aunt Ding Chunhua comforted her, "Mother, it's still early! Calculating the time, it will probably take a while!"

"That's right, you old lady are just anxious."

Cao Dashan also complained.

The old lady glared and said dissatisfiedly: "Are you not in a hurry?"

....Cao Dashan was suddenly embarrassed.

He was indeed very anxious.

How could he not be anxious when his eldest grandson was getting married?

Cao Liang had originally planned to bring Meng Xiaoxing back to visit, but Meng Xiaoxing had to go to work, so it was not very convenient, so the grandparents and their family have not met Meng Xiaoxing yet!

The second uncle comforted her, "Mom, I think you don't have to worry at all. Don't you know who Liangzi is? The person he chooses will definitely not be bad."

"You tell me? My eldest grandson has good taste, so his grandson's wife must be very beautiful."

The old lady glared.

"Grandma, Dad, Mom, look over there, it seems like my eldest brother and the others are back."

Suddenly, Xiaomin pointed forward and shouted.

"where?"

The old lady looked over hurriedly, and saw several bicycles coming towards the village entrance. The person leading the group was Cao Liang.

A group of people arrived at the entrance of the village.

Cao Liang got out of the car and asked in surprise, "Grandpa, grandma, second uncle, second aunt, why are you waiting here?"

Cao Dashan said with a smile: "Isn't it because your grandma can't wait to see her grandson's wife? She came here early in the morning."

"You're not in a hurry."

The old lady glared at him, then ignored him and looked at Meng Xiaoxing who got down from the back seat of Cao Liang.

At first glance, the old lady found it very pleasing to the eye.

"You must be Xingzi, right? I often hear Liangzi talking about you!"

The old lady stepped forward and grabbed Meng Xiaoxing's hand, looking her up and down, nodding secretly as she looked at her.

I am so satisfied with my granddaughter-in-law.

I am very satisfied with both her face and figure.

As expected of my good grandson, he has good taste. This kid is obviously easy to raise.

Maybe by this time next year, she will be able to hold her great-grandson.

"Hello grandma, grandpa, second uncle and second aunt, and Xiaojun and Xiaomin, hello too."

Meng Xiaoxing said shyly with a red face.

"Good good."

The whole family of grandparents laughed.

Xiaojun and Xiaomin even called her sister-in-law directly.

"Oh, grandpa and grandma, you are too partial. We came back together, but you can't see us. It's really sad."

At this time, Wang Dong pretended to be sad and said jokingly: "I bought you gifts specially."

Gu Wen also joked, "It's no use being sad. We are just grandsons. How can it be as important as the granddaughter-in-law coming?"

The old lady laughed and scolded: "You two little brats, you have no respect for your elders. How dare you tease me, an old lady? I'll let Liangzi deal with you later."

Wang Dong and Gu Wen had visited their grandparents’ house before, but this year they came the most times.

Especially Wang Dong, because of his sweet talk, he became familiar with the old lady.

When Wang Dong heard this, he pretended to be scared and said, "Grandma, please don't. Liangzi is a ruthless person. I haven't married yet, so I dare not let him do it."

"Hahaha!"

As soon as this was said, everyone laughed.

Second Aunt smiled and said, "Okay, let's not talk about it here, let's go home and talk about it."

Everyone had no objection and went home.

They met many villagers on the way, and they all greeted Cao Liang and his family.

Now that the weather is getting better, people are willing to go out.

Compared to the past, a lot has changed.

There are lights and decorations everywhere, aunties and grandmas chatting under the trees, and children laughing, the atmosphere of the New Year is everywhere.

back home.

Meng Xiaoxing was taken away by the old lady.

The children were taken to play by Xiaojun and Xiaomin.

Cao Liang and others, Cao Dashan and Cao Weimin were drinking tea and talking about things in the house.

Grandpa Cao Dashan asked, "Liangzi, are you really planning to invite everyone in the village to a feast?"

Cao Liang nodded.

This was already discussed.

"That will cost a lot of money." Cao Dashan felt a little distressed.

There are more than 200 people in the village. Even if you have ten people at one table, we need 20 tables.

At least eight dishes are needed for one table, which costs a lot.

Of course, most of them are vegetarian.

Cao Liang smiled and said, "It's okay, sir. After all, you only get married once, and you can't let Xingzi down."

Gu Wen smiled bitterly and said, "Only you can say such a thing."

Wang Dong and Gangzi nodded.

Cao Liang smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will pay for your wedding expenses in the future."

"Then it's a deal, you can't regret it later!"

Wang Dong said immediately.

Cao Dashan and his second uncle also knew that Liangzi was capable, and Wang Dong and the others were Cao Liang's brothers, so they didn't say anything.

Cao Liang asked Cao Weimin: "Uncle, I'll have to rely on you to prepare the vegetarian dishes. I can get meat and grain here. Just tell me the amount."

After he finished speaking, Cao Dashan and Cao Weimin both laughed.

"what happened?"

Cao Liang was a little confused.

So do Wang Dong and the others.

Cao Weimin smiled and said, "In our countryside, when we hold a banquet, we generally don't need to provide food. When you invite others, they will bring food as a gift. So, you only need to get the meat, and I will take care of the rest."

The young men suddenly realized.

After all, in the city, most people who come to a banquet pay a share of the money.

But there is not much money in the countryside, so everyone brings their own food as a gift.

Cao Liang asked: "How many pounds of meat do you need?"

Cao Dashan said: "Generally speaking, half a catty per table is considered high standard."

Cao Weimin nodded.

Cao Liang thought for a moment and said, "Then one pound per table. Uncle, how many tables should we set up?"

Cao Weimin calculated, "We'll probably need twenty tables."

Twenty pounds?

That's nothing.

Cao Liang took out ten big black tens and handed them to Cao Weimin: "Second Uncle, take this money first. If it's not enough, we can talk about it later."

"Enough is enough."

Cao Weimin took the money and said to Wang Dong and the others, "Come with me to prepare the dishes later."

"No problem, leave it to us."

Wang Dong patted his chest and assured.

They came early with the intention of helping.

Cao Weimin nodded in satisfaction, and said to Cao Liang, "Liangzi, go and ask your grandfather in person!"

"it is good."

Cao Liang should be.

As for Meng Xiaoxing, Cao Liang had already said in advance that there were only two children in her family, Monkey and Xiaotao.

Now that you're here, there's nothing to worry about.
