Siheyuan: Cao Liang's rise

When we got back to the courtyard, it was almost five o'clock.

Cao Liang started to prepare dinner.

After waking up some cornmeal, he started to cook the rabbit.

He got some potatoes and stewed them with the rabbit.

After finishing all these, the corn flour had risen and he started to knead the dough to make steamed corn bread.

After half an hour.

The fragrance wafted out.

"What does it smell like? It smells so good!"

Yan Jiekuang, who was playing, sniffed and said.

Xiao Ming's eyes lit up, "It came from my house. My brother must have prepared dinner. Let's go, Yaya."

After saying that, he pulled his sister and ran home.

Yan Jiedi swallowed her saliva and asked eagerly, "Third brother, I want to eat meat too."

Yan Jiekuang knew what his sister meant. He also wanted to eat meat, but he didn’t dare. That was the little King of Hell. What if he got beaten?

"Mom should have finished cooking, let's go back and eat too!"

After saying that, he went back.

Yan Jiedi curled her lips. There were only pickles and steamed buns at home. How could they be as delicious as rabbit meat?

But she went back anyway.

When I got home, everyone in the family was already sitting at the table.

Yan Bugui did not distribute the food immediately. Instead, he looked at Yan Jiekuang and Yan Jiedi and stretched out his hands, "Give it to me?"

"Dad, what do you want?" Yan Jiekuang rolled his eyes and pretended not to understand.

Yan Jiedi simply covered her pockets.

Yan Bugui rolled his eyes and said, "White Rabbit Milk Candy, I saw Liangzi gave it to you."

The two little ones looked bitter.

Before, they were reluctant to eat it, so they just licked it and put it away. They didn’t expect that they would be targeted now.

"White Rabbit Milk Candy?"

The third aunt was surprised and said, "That's a good thing. One candy can dissolve a pot of water. It's just right to provide some nutrition for the family."

Yan Jiekuang said aggrievedly: "That was given to us by Brother Liangzi."

Yan Bugui said dissatisfiedly: "You eat my food and drink my drinks, shouldn't you also contribute the milk candy?"

"Your father is right, listen to him."

The three aunts echoed.

The two little ones had no choice but to take out the candy reluctantly.

After Yan Bugui put it away, he said to the two children, "Liangzi's family should be eating rabbit meat today, why don't you go and ask for some?"

The third aunt also said: "You two really don't know how to scheme. I also smelled the fragrance coming from Liangzi's house just now. It smells so good."

"I...we don't dare."

Yan Jiekuang stammered and lowered his head.

Afraid of being beaten by Cao Liang.

After all, Cao Liang has a bad reputation.

"You are still too young."

Yan Bugui said with regret: "You two are still young. Even if Liangzi is a bad guy, he won't bully you two kids. Today, your father will teach you a lesson. If you want to get benefits, you must be thick-skinned first."

"Yes, that's right. It's because your father is thick-skinned that he can get some good things from the neighbors from time to time."

The three aunts nodded in agreement.

Yan Bugui suddenly felt very proud.

The children all curled their lips when they heard this. You only rely on your mouth, why don't you plot against Cao Liang? You just know how to talk.

It's ridiculous that you ask them to do things that you yourself don't dare to do.

at the same time.

Jia family.

"Mom, I want to eat meat."

Bang Geng suddenly said to Qin Huairu.

Qin Huairu was stunned, and then asked: "Didn't we just eat it two days ago? Where can we get meat at this time?"

The Jia family is still in good condition now, and Bang Geng is also very popular.

With the help of Yi Zhonghai, even though it is a famine period, the Jia family can still get some money back from time to time.

In addition, the food that Sha Zhu brought back from time to time was full of oil, so almost everyone in the Jia family was white and fat.

"I don't care. I just want to eat meat."

Bang Geng cried and said, "When I went to play in the front yard today, I saw Little Yan Wang coming back with a very fat rabbit. Mom, go and ask for some."

When Qin Huairu heard this, she was immediately in trouble.

It was easy for other families. She just had to act pitiful and shamelessly ask for some.

But she was a little worried about what the Cao family said.

Especially the time two days ago when Cao Liang kicked her man away, she still felt a little scared when she thought about that scene now.

"Qin Huairu, didn't you hear what my grandson said? Do you want to starve my grandson to death?"

Seeing that Qin Huairu didn't understand, Jia Zhang was very dissatisfied.

Qin Huairu said bitterly: "Mom, that's the Cao family, I...I don't dare."

"What are you afraid of? Does that little beast dare to hit a woman?"

Jia Zhang rolled her eyes. Anyway, she had never seen Cao Liang beat a woman.

But thinking about how ruthless that little beast is, if he is forced into a corner, he won't care whether you are a man or a woman, or an old man, and he might really attack you.

So she said, "Go ask Chen Huilan for it. She will definitely give it to you."

"I......"

Qin Huairu still didn't dare to go.

"What do you want?"

Fortunately, Jia Dongxu came back from get off work at this time. He also heard a few words at the door just now and asked curiously.

Qin Huairu said truthfully: "Bang Geng wants to eat meat, and it just so happens that the Cao family got a rabbit today, and my mother wants me to go get some."

Go ask the Cao family for meat?

Jia Dongxu's face changed immediately, and his stomach instinctively ached. He yelled at Bang Geng, "You're eating shit meat. Do you want to eat bamboo shoots fried with meat? I think you're just itching for trouble."

He rested for two days and was barely able to go to work today.

This brat actually wants to provoke that little King of Hell?

Do you want him to be hung on the wall as soon as possible?

The more he thought about it, the angrier he got, so Jia Dongxu went to find a whip and started whipping the stick.

He cried out in pain, and the Jia family was in chaos.

Cao family.

Chen Huilan returned home with a tired face.

"Mom, you are finally back. We have been waiting for you for a long time."

When the two little ones saw Chen Huilan coming back, they immediately smiled.

They were very sensible. Cao Liang originally told them to eat first if they were hungry, but they refused and insisted on waiting for Chen Huilan to come back.

Chen Huilan forced a smile and nodded.

Cao Liang served a bowl of meat to Chen Huilan and another bowl to the two children.

After seeing the two little ones start to show off, he asked, "Mom, is the work tiring?"

He remembered that being a kitchen helper usually just had to wash and cut vegetables, as well as do some housekeeping, which should be an easy job.

But why is mother so tired?

"I'm not tired, I just didn't sleep well last night, you don't have to think too much about it."

Chen Huilan's eyes flashed with panic, and she quickly explained, fearing that her son might notice something.

But the more she did this, the easier it was for Cao Liang to see through it.

He didn't say much. He knew that even if he continued to ask, Chen Huilan would definitely not tell him. He could only check it himself.

But what is certain is that his mother must have encountered some trouble.

But we need to find out what exactly happened.

After dinner, Chen Huilan went to lie down on the bed to rest.

He looks very tired.

"Mom, I'm going to go out for a while. I'll sleep at Gangzi's house tonight and won't be back."

After hearing Chen Huilan's "hmm", Cao Liang gave the two younger ones some instructions before leaving.
