Siheyuan: Cao Liang's rise

Early the next day.

Yaya came early in the morning with a suitcase and knocked on Cao Liang's door.

"Brother, get up, it's time to go back to the countryside."

Hearing the shout, Cao Liang opened his eyes, took out his watch from the bedside and took a look. It was not yet seven o'clock.

This girl.

Cao Liang shook his head helplessly, got up, put on his clothes, and opened the door.

After taking a look at Yaya's luggage, which probably only contained clothes, Cao Liang said speechlessly: "Yaya, are you just taking these things back?"

This girl, does she really think it's the same as before?

"Is there anything else you need to bring?"

Yaya looked confused. Was this how she had always been brought up before?

"Let's go have breakfast first."

Cao Liang didn't say anything. He washed up and went to the main house.

Meng Xiaoxing got up early and prepared breakfast with Chen Huilan.

After eating a bowl of egg noodles, Cao Liang said to Chen Huilan, "Mom, go prepare some daily necessities for Yaya. We will be back soon."

"Row."

Chen Huilan nodded and went to clean up.

After half an hour.

Yaya was stunned when she saw the pile of things Chen Huilan had prepared, including a washbasin, a kettle, and other miscellaneous items.

"Mom, I'm just going back to the countryside, do I really need to bring so many things?"

Chen Huilan rolled her eyes at her and was too lazy to explain to her.

Meng Xiaoxing smiled and said, "Yaya, have you forgotten what your eldest brother said yesterday? She sent you back to the countryside this time because she wanted you to live independently, so you have to be prepared."

"All right!"

Yaya nodded dejectedly. She had tried her best to become an educated youth.

Meng Xiaoxing knows her man very well.

Since Cao Liang said that yesterday, he would definitely not let people from his hometown help Yaya.

This girl will have a hard time in the days ahead.

Cao Liang came over pushing his bicycle and said to Yaya, "Let's go."

After saying that, he took Yaya and left the courtyard.

"Humph! This little girl really thinks it's so easy to go to the countryside. I'm sure she'll come back in disgrace in a few days."

After seeing the two people leave, Chen Huilan snorted.

My daughter knows it herself.

She was a lucky girl. When she was three years old, Cao Weiguo had just passed away. She was still young and sensible at that time.

When she was six years old and began to understand things, Cao Liang had already grown up.

The family had basically everything they needed and had not experienced the three difficult years at all.

And Cao Liang doted on her so much.

I have never done any heavy work since I was a child, and I even rarely cook.

After all, there are sisters-in-law Chen Huilan and Meng Xiaoxing at home, so it is not her turn.

That's why I say she is very lucky, much luckier than Xiao Ming.

Hearing this, Meng Xiaoxing comforted her, "Mom, don't worry! Liangzi has always been a man with his own ideas. Yaya is a lively girl, so it's good for her to suffer a little."

"Besides, the one who loves that girl the most in the family is Liangzi, he won't go too far."

Chen Huilan said disdainfully: "I'm not worried about that girl. What else can she do except make me angry? She should suffer a little more."

"Others try so hard not to go to the countryside, but she goes there on her own accord. She's really free."

After saying that, Chen Huilan went to take care of Dabao.

Meng Xiaoxing chuckled.

She naturally knew that Chen Huilan was speaking in anger.

...

The early spring snow has gradually faded away, leaving only a thin layer of white frost on the ground.

Two hours later, Cao Liang took Yaya back to his hometown, Gaoling Village.

When I got home, I saw my grandfather Cao Dashan and my second uncle Cao Weimin sweeping the snow in the yard.

Seeing Cao Liang and Yaya, Cao Dashan said in surprise: "Liangzi, Yaya? Why are you back at this time? Didn't you come back before the New Year?"

Cao Liang and his family return to their hometown every year.

This year, I came back early after the holiday before the New Year, and returned to the Siheyuan on New Year’s Eve.

It can be said that both sides celebrate the New Year.

Today is only the fourth day of the New Year, and Cao Liang is back again, so Cao Dashan was a little surprised.

"This time I'm sending Yaya back."

Just as Cao Liang was about to explain, the old lady, the second aunt and Xiaojun came out.

When the old lady saw Cao Liang coming back, she was immediately happy and said, "Hey, Liangzi, why are you back in such a cold weather? Have you eaten? Ask your second aunt to give you some food?"

Second Aunt smiled and continued, "Yes, Yaya, are you hungry? Second Aunt will get you something to eat."

"Let's wait until noon to eat!"

Cao Liang replied, and then said to Yaya: "Put your things away first, I'll make arrangements for you later."

"Oh."

Yaya agreed and left with her luggage, while Xiaojun came forward to help.

"Thank you, third brother."

Yaya thanked him and Xiaojun shook his head.

Cao Liang went to the grandparents' house with others.

The old lady poured a bowl of hot water for Cao Liang. After Cao Liang finished drinking it, he said to Cao Weimin: "Uncle, do you have a shabby house at home?"

"I don't have that thing at home, and I don't need it."

Cao Weimin shook his head. "Liangzi, why are you asking this?"

The house has been renovated, and it was Cao Liang who paid for it.

Because there were more people in the family, we built two more rooms.

Cao Liang told his grandparents and second uncle the purpose of his return.

The old lady was dissatisfied and said, "This little girl is just bored and has nothing better to do. She has to go to a cold and bitter place to suffer. She makes her family worry about her day after day."

"Does she really think that life is easy now? If Liangzi hadn't stood up, our family would have almost starved to death."

Cao Dashan felt sorry for his granddaughter and said, "Come on, old lady, stop talking. It's not a big deal for the child to have her own ideas when she grows up. Besides, don't you have Liangzi? She won't suffer any loss."

"I don't bother to talk about her. I just feel sorry for my eldest grandson."

The old lady said to Cao Liang, "My dear grandson, just let that girl suffer a little in the countryside, and then she will know how difficult it is."

“That’s what I thought when I came back this time.”

Cao Liang smiled and said, "In the next few days, I hope you elders will not help her in any way. Once that girl knows the hardship, she will no longer have the idea of ​​going to the countryside."

The three elders also knew the seriousness of the matter, so they nodded and agreed.

Cao Liang then continued, "Since there is no house at home, then Second Uncle, please ask someone to build a wooden house for Yaya. It should be simple enough for people to live in, and it would be best if it is far away from home."

Cao Weimin said, "It just so happens that Cao Datou's family has a wooden house to the west of the village. I can just go and tell him when the time comes."

"That's good."

Cao Liang said, "When the time comes, Second Uncle, you should also tell Second Aunt not to help Yaya. You should also assign her work every day. If she doesn't work, she won't have food to eat. When the time comes, you can't secretly help her just because you feel sorry for her."

Cao Weimin assured: "Don't worry, Liangzi, we know the seriousness of the matter."

Cao Liang smiled and said, "Well, otherwise this girl will keep making trouble and I won't be able to do anything about it."
