Siheyuan: Cao Liang's rise

Cao Liang pushed his bicycle back to the courtyard.

There was a box tied to the back seat of his bicycle.

"Dad, hurry up!"

Dabao was urging from the front, with an impatient look on his face.

just reached home.

Dabao couldn't wait to shout inside: "Mom, come out and see what good things Dad has brought back."

"coming."

Meng Xiaoxing came out and asked with a smile, "Dabao, what's this good stuff?"

Cao Liang parked the car and took the cardboard box down from the car.

"Wow, it looks pretty heavy. Liangzi, what is it?"

Meng Xiaoxing asked curiously.

Dabao smiled and said, "Mom, guess what?"

"No guessing."

Meng Xiaoxing ignored him.

"Hey, is that a TV in here?"

At this time, a voice came from behind.

Cao Liang was stunned, turned around and asked in surprise: "Lou Xiao'e? When did you come back?"

Meng Xiaoxing said, "She just came back not long ago. I was just about to tell you! She came over."

"Here, this is a gift for your family."

Lou Xiao'e handed a few bags of things to Meng Xiaoxing. Meng Xiaoxing opened them and saw that there were not only some local specialties but also clothes and other things.

She immediately shook her head and said, "Xiao'e, these things are too expensive. I can't accept them."

"What's so wrong with that? Compared to the kindness your man has shown my family, it's worth it."

Lou Xiao'e said this and looked at Cao Liang.

Cao Liang smiled and said, "Xingzi, since Lou Xiao'e has said so, just accept it! After all, you are best friends."

"Yes."

Lou Xiao'e nodded in agreement.

"OK then!"

Meng Xiaoxing had no choice but to accept it and took it back to the house and put it away.

"Cao Liang, long time no see. You haven't changed at all."

Lou Xiao'e said to Cao Liang with a smile.

Cao Liang also smiled and said, "You have changed a lot. You have become more mature and more beautiful."

"You're still good at talking. Is that how you tricked Xingzi into getting her?"

Lou Xiaoe was very pleased. She then looked at Dabao and said with a smile, "This is Dabao, right? You have grown so big in the blink of an eye. Dabao, when you were born, auntie held you in her arms. When you were one month old, you even peed in my arms."

Dabao felt embarrassed and bowed his head and called out, "Hello, Auntie."

"Hey, okay, here, this is the red envelope that Auntie gave you."

Lou Xiao'e directly gave Cao Liang a few big black tens. Cao Liang took a quick look and estimated that there were about a hundred yuan.

Dabao was shocked. He was usually strictly controlled by Meng Xiaoxing, so where had he seen so much money?

He quickly looked at Cao Liang.

Cao Liang nodded and said, "Just take it if Auntie gives it to you!"

"Thank you auntie."

Dabao thanked the man before accepting the money, feeling very happy.

He had set his eyes on something before, but his family wouldn't give him money.

It’s great that I have money now.

But who would have thought that at this moment, Meng Xiaoxing's voice came from behind, "Dabao, give me the money, I will save it for you and use it for marrying a wife in the future."

"what?"

Dabao looked at his father in confusion, but the latter turned his head away.

I knew I couldn't count on you.

Dabao gave the money to Meng Xiaoxing in frustration, and his thoughts were completely dashed.

Lou Xiaoe found it very interesting, and then said to Dabao: "Dabao, this time Auntie's son is back too, he is one year younger than you, you must take good care of your brother in the future."

"Don't worry, Auntie, just hold me."

Dabao patted his chest seriously and promised.

Lou Xiao'e was very satisfied, and immediately said to Cao Liang: "Cao Liang, Xingzi promised me that you will cook for me tonight, and our whole family will come over later."

Cao Liang looked at Meng Xiaoxing, who blinked.

"Row."

Cao Liang had no choice but to agree.

Lou Xiao'e continued, "Cao Liang, televisions should have just started to flow into China, and you actually got one? That's great!"

"They were all made by my senior brother. He has connections, so I asked him to help me get a few."

Cao Liang replied.

Dabao said proudly: "My dad gave one to Uncle Gangzi and his family, and Uncle Monkey also has one."

After that, he said to Cao Liang: "Dad, hurry up and install the TV. I want to watch it."

On the way back, Cao Liang had already told him the uses of television, and Dabao couldn't wait.

"Go, go, go."

Cao Liang had no choice but to obey him.

Then he went into the house to install the TV.

After more than ten minutes, the TV was installed.

Dabao asked expectantly, "Dad, can I watch it now?"

"Not yet, we still need to install an antenna!"

Cao Liang went to install the antenna on the wall outside, "Okay, it's ready to go."

Dabao couldn't wait any longer and turned on the TV. Then, pictures began to appear on the TV, which happened to be a crosstalk program.

Meng Xiaoxing exclaimed: "It's amazing that a person can appear in a small box."

Lou Xiaoe smiled and said, "It's almost like watching a movie, except it's on TV."

Dabao was already fascinated by it.

"Xingzi, why are there outsiders talking in your room?"

At this time, Chen Huilan came in holding Tuanzi.

"Wow, grandma, there's someone in the tin box!"

The three-year-old Tuanzi in her arms was sharp-eyed. He noticed the TV at a glance and exclaimed in curiosity.

Chen Huilan was also shocked when she saw it, "Boss, Xingzi, what is this? Why does it look like a movie?"

"Aunt Huilan."

Lou Xiao'e suddenly screamed.

Chen Huilan then realized that there was another person there. She took a closer look at Lou Xiao'e, then came to her senses and exclaimed, "You are, Xiao'e?"

"it's me."

Lou Xiao'e smiled and nodded.

Chen Huilan was surprised and asked, "Xiao'e, when did you come back? Damao and Liangzi didn't tell me."

"They don't know either. I want to give them a surprise."

Lou Xiao'e smiled.

"It's good that you're back. Will you leave again this time?"

Chen Huilan asked.

Lou Xiao'e smiled and said, "It depends on Xu Damao's opinion."

Although she is back, they are now nominally divorced.

If she wants to stay, she must get remarried with Xu Damao.

Meng Xiaoxing understood what she meant and said jokingly, "Don't worry about that! Your Damao has been keeping his chastity for you for more than ten years and has been waiting for you all this time. He will never let you go even if you want to."

"Okay!"

Lou Xiao'e was obviously very happy, but she pretended not to care.

At this time, she also noticed the dumpling in Chen Huilan's arms, "Oh, what a cute girl, is this the dumpling you mentioned in the letter? So cute, come and hold me."

Tuanzi was a little shy and curled up in Chen Huilan's arms.

"Lou Xiao'e, don't scare my daughter."

Cao Liang hurried forward and stood in front of Lou Xiao'e, then stretched out his hands to Tuanzi, "Come here, baby, let daddy hold you."

Tuanzi immediately went over and kissed Cao Liang, "I love you the most, Dad."

"Hey, dear baby, Daddy likes you the most, too."

Cao Liang's eyes narrowed as he smiled.

This made the others roll their eyes.

This is not the first time that this has happened to the father and daughter.
