Siheyuan: Cao Liang's rise

"Liangzi, you are so powerful. You defeated your opponent with just one punch, one kick and one push. Also, when did you become so strong?"

Cao Liang and several others were walking on the street. Wang Dong was imitating the moves that Cao Liang had just used to fight the enemy. After learning, he asked curiously.

Gu Wen and Gangzi also looked at Cao Liang.

Cao Liang used to be a good fighter, but he mostly used Bajiquan to fight his enemies. Although he was quite strong, it was far less than what he is now.

Although it is possible to deal with six people at the same time, it will definitely not be as easy as it is now.

Cao Liang shook his head and said, "I don't know, maybe I've been able to eat enough recently, so I feel a lot stronger."

He could only make up a relatively reasonable excuse, after all, the perfect genetic serum was too sci-fi.

Even if I tell them, they probably won't believe it.

Sure enough, as soon as this reason came out, several people believed it instantly.

After all, in their opinion, Cao Liang originally studied martial arts.

But since Lao Cao is gone and it’s a year of disaster now, how can we have the energy to eat if we don’t have enough to eat?

Walked for a while.

Wang Dong realized something was wrong, and asked in confusion: "Liangzi, this road doesn't seem to be the way to Donglaishun, right?"

After hearing what he said, Gu Wen and Gangzi also realized something was wrong.

Cao Liang said: "Let's go to the department store first, and then go to Donglaishun later."

Wang Dong's eyes lit up, "Liangzi, are you going to buy something big?"

If it is a small item, I definitely won’t go to a department store.

Cao Liang nodded and said, "I got a watch ticket and plan to buy one to tell time."

Wang Dong said distressedly: "Liangzi, a watch costs more than a hundred yuan, are you willing to spend it?"

"Why can't I bear to leave? I don't know the time, and it's inconvenient to do anything."

Cao Liang said this and quickened his pace.

Wang Dong said to Gu Wen: "I told you last time that Liangzi had changed, but you didn't believe me."

That was more than a hundred yuan, and Liangzi spent it without even blinking an eye.

Gu Wen patted Wang Dong on the shoulder and then chased after him.

Wang Dong was confused: "No, Mosquito, what do you mean?"

Gangzi also stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder. Before Wang Dong could get mad, Gangzi said, "No matter how Liangzi becomes, he is still our brother, and that is enough."

After saying that, Gangzi also left.

Wang Dong thought about it and felt that Gangzi was right.

No matter what Liangzi becomes, it is enough for him to know that Liangzi is his brother.

Ten minutes later.

Several people came to the department store.

Arriving at the watch counter on the second floor, Cao Liang pointed at a watch and asked the salesperson: "Hello, comrade, can you show me this watch?"

The saleswoman was a middle-aged woman. She didn't even raise her head when she heard the question and replied, "Look, it's up to you to buy it or not."

Sales clerks are so powerful these days. Most of their jobs are stable bowls, and those who can work in department stores all have backgrounds.

Wang Dong said dissatisfiedly: "Hey, Auntie, how can you talk like that? See what's wrong?"

"Who are you calling Auntie?"

The salesperson glared at Wang Dong fiercely, then curled his lips and said, "How can a few of you boys afford a watch? Go away and don't waste my time."

Snapped!

Wang Dong slammed the counter and said angrily, "Who are you looking down on?"

"Looking for trouble? Okay, you wait!"

The saleswoman was not afraid at all and turned around to call for help. Seeing this, Cao Liang hurriedly said, "Comrade, don't bother with him. I really came here to buy a watch."

As he said that, Cao Liang took out the watch, ticket and money.

There is no way around it. This is the attitude these days. It is impossible to be like in later generations where customers are king.

Didn’t you see that old lady was about to call for help?

When the saleswoman saw the money, her expression softened a little. She asked calmly, "Which one do you want?"

Cao Liang took a look and found that there were only two models, one for 120 yuan and the other for 140 yuan.

As for what brand it was, he really didn't know what brands were available in this era.

He pointed to the one that cost 140 yuan and said, "This is it!"

This piece is more to his liking.

The saleswoman took out the watch and said, "One hundred and fourteen plus the ticket."

Cao Liang handed over the money and the ticket. The saleswoman handed the watch to Cao Liang, issued an invoice, and then went to chat with her colleague next door.

Cao Liang and his companions left the department store.

Then the four of them went to Donglaishun to have a meal of mutton before returning home.

"Hey, Liangzi is back!"

As soon as he returned to the courtyard, Yan Bugui greeted him.

Cao Liang was a little surprised. He always felt that Yan Bugui was very enthusiastic today?

But he didn't think much about it, just nodded and walked towards home.

Xiao Ming and Ya Ya are playing with stones at the door.

Seeing Cao Liang coming back, the two little ones immediately dropped the stones in their hands and ran towards Cao Liang.

"elder brother."

"Big brother."

Yaya looked at Cao Liang with big eyes and asked expectantly, "Brother, do you still have the delicious candy from yesterday?"

Xiao Ming was a little too old to speak, but he looked at Cao Liang expectantly.

Cao Liang reached into his pocket, took out two pieces of White Rabbit candy from the space, handed them to the two children, and said with a smile: "Eat quickly, don't let mother see."

Uh-huh!

The two little ones took the candy, unwrapped it, put it in their mouths, and immediately squinted their eyes.

"What can't I see?"

At this time, Chen Huilan came out of the room and asked, "Liangzi, are you done?"

"I didn't go to work today."

Cao Liang replied with a smile.

After checking, Chen Huilan looked much better today, so she should have recovered.

But this matter is definitely not over yet, he must get to the bottom of it.

No matter who it is, they can target him, but if they want to target his family, he will definitely not let them go.

After entering the house, Chen Huilan asked, "Liangzi, I forgot to ask you yesterday, how are your grandparents? Is there enough food at home?"

"That's enough..."

Cao Liang knew he couldn't keep it a secret, so he told Chen Huilan about the wild boar incident, but emphasized that his second uncle had helped.

Chen Huilan blamed: "You kid, you didn't tell me such a big thing. Fortunately, you are fine, otherwise I..."

As Chen Huilan spoke, she began to wipe away her tears.

She is a widow who worked hard to raise Cao Liang. Who knows the bitterness she went through?

Cao Liang held Chen Huilan's hand and comforted her, "Mom, I only hit them with stones. I didn't get close to them. There's no danger. And my second uncle is here too."

"Don't take risks anymore."

"Yes Yes."

Cao Liang could only nod and agree.

But you have to go, otherwise how can you live a good life?

Chen Huilan suddenly remembered something and asked, "Liangzi, did you send some of the food you exchanged to your grandfather? Your grandfather's family is in trouble too."

She would usually send some food back home, but after all, her salary was there, and she not only had to support three children, but also had to help Cao Liang's grandparents, so she couldn't help her mother's family much.

Cao Liang said awkwardly: "Uh... I was in a hurry to come back yesterday and forgot about it for a moment."

"You kid, your grandparents and uncle loved you so much when you were a child."

Chen Huilan poked Cao Liang's forehead unhappily, and then said, "You are not needed. With your grandfather's temper, he will definitely send some of the food to your grandfather."

Once when she went back to her parents' home, her father told her that every time she asked Cao Liang to bring food back to her hometown, her father-in-law would bring half of it home.

"hey-hey....."

Cao Liang scratched his head embarrassedly.
