Siheyuan: Cao Liang's rise

It was still early when they came back and the others had not yet gone to work.

Yi Zhonghai directly dragged Sha Zhu, who was wrapped like a dumpling, to Cao's house.

"Cao Liang, come out!"

Yi Zhonghai shouted and Chen Huilan came out of the house.

Xiao Ming followed behind, but Yaya didn't come out. It must be that Chen Huilan knew that the person was up to no good and didn't let her out.

As soon as Chen Huilan came out, she saw the miserable condition of Sha Zhu and immediately thought of Cao Liang, and her heart skipped a beat.

I thought: Could it be Liangzi who did this?

Sure enough, Yi Zhonghai said, "Huilan, where is Cao Liang?"

Chen Huilan shook her head and said, "Liangzi went back to the countryside yesterday and is not at home."

"impossible."

Yi Zhonghai frowned and said, "He hit the pillar last night. Did he know that something happened, so he ran away and hid?"

"Huilan, I don't want to say anything, but how do you educate your children? We are all from the same courtyard, look at what he has done to the pillars?"

When Chen Huilan heard Yi Zhonghai say that she didn't know how to educate her children, her face turned cold and she said coldly, "Uncle, you keep saying that it was Liangzi who beat Shazhu, do you have any evidence?"

Hearing this, Sha Zhu's eyes were a little evasive. What evidence did they have? They just relied on their mouths.

Even if you really count it, it was still Shazhu who was wrong first. He was not right to target an orphan and a widow.

Chen Huilan also noticed Sha Zhu's expression and immediately understood.

Yi Zhonghai was speechless.

This idiot Zhu is really a hopeless case.

The meeting hasn't even started yet and you've already shown your weakness. How are you going to make that little devil surrender?

Thinking of this, he said righteously: "Huilan! Putting aside the facts, Liangzi really shouldn't have hit the pillar like this. In order not to encourage this kind of trend, we must hold a meeting to criticize him. You should find him back as soon as possible."

"I told you, Liangzi has returned to the countryside."

Chen Huilan said coldly, "Besides, you have no evidence to prove that Liangzi beat Shazhu. Even if we file a complaint with the street office and the police, we are still in the right."

"I'm sorry, uncle. I have to rush to work."

After Chen Huilan finished speaking, she ignored Yi Zhonghai's ugly expression and turned to Xiao Ming and said, "Why are you still standing there? Can't you see that you're going to be late for school?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Ming hurriedly took his schoolbag and went out.

Chen Huilan also took Yaya out without even looking at Yi Zhonghai.

"They rebelled, one by one, all of them rebelled."

Yi Zhonghai was furious, but since everyone had left, there was nothing he could do.

Just send Shazhu back to the house.

...

the other side.

Cao Liang didn't care about Sha Zhu's affairs. He deserved it. It was just a lesson for him to let him know who not to mess with.

If he knew that Yi Zhonghai brought Sha Zhu to cause trouble for his mother, Sha Zhu might get beaten again.

But those are things for later.

At this time, Cao Liang was riding a bicycle with Gangzi on the way back to his hometown.

Gangzi also had an axe on his waist, which he used to chop firewood.

Cao Liang was speechless.

It turns out that the weapon Gangzi mentioned before was just an axe?

But Gangzi said honestly: The knives in the house are still useful, only this axe is idle.

Also no one.

It took them two hours of riding to get back to Gaoling Village.

Originally, Cao Liang wanted Gangzi to learn how to ride a bicycle on the way, but after falling several times, Gangzi was unwilling to try it.

There was no choice but Cao Liang could only take him with him.

Fortunately, Cao Liang is in a strong physique now, otherwise he would have been exhausted to death.

"Liangzi is back again!"

“Hey, is this a bicycle?”

After feeling the warm greetings from the gatekeeper uncles, Cao Liang returned home.

"Liangzi? Why are you back again?"

When I got home, I happened to see my second aunt busy in the yard and greeted her in the same way.

There’s no way, it’s only been a few days since Cao Liang last came back.

In the past, Cao Liang only came back once a month.

And he said last time that he was busy recently and might not be back for a while.

“Hey, is this a bicycle?”

Ding Chunhua also saw the bicycle Cao Liang was pushing. She was curious and wanted to touch it, but she was a little afraid.

After all, let alone their Gaoling Village, even in the entire brigade, only the party secretary's family had one.

The bicycles at that time were comparable to the cars of later generations.

"I came back for something."

Cao Liang replied, and seeing Second Aunt's expression, he laughed and said, "Touch it if you want. This car is very solid and cannot be damaged by touching."

"Bicycle? Where is it?"

At this time, my second uncle Cao Weimin ran out of the house, walked around the bicycle, and said in amazement: "Liangzi, did you buy this bicycle?"

“From the factory.”

Cao Liang lies without thinking, and it's not his fault. As I said, it's hard to explain.

Especially his grandparents.

Cao Liang asked, "Uncle, is there no work at home?"

"What kind of work can we do? With this weather, let alone the crops, even the river in the west is going to dry up. I guess we'll be starving again this year."

Cao Weimin sighed: "I don't know when this hard time will end."

During the famine years, there were severe droughts for years, and because of this, there was no harvest at all in the fields.

Many people starved to death. For Cao Weimin, being able to be alive was already very good.

"Stop talking nonsense, little brat. Don't let anyone hear you."

At this time, the old man and the old lady came out, and the old man scolded his second uncle.

Cao Weimin didn't mind and just laughed.

"My dear grandson is back!"

The old lady was happy to see Cao Liang come back, and she walked up to him happily and held his hand.

Then he looked at Gangzi and said happily, "Gangzi is here too!"

Gangzi had come here with Cao Liang before, the old lady still remembers it.

"Hello, Grandpa and Grandma."

Regards from Gangzi.

The old man nodded and looked at the bicycle. "Liangzi, which one?"

Before Cao Liang could say anything, Cao Weimin interrupted, "Liangzi, you just said that this car belongs to the factory. Have you found a job?"

The others also looked at Cao Liang.

Cao Liang nodded and told him about his journey to join the purchasing department of the steel rolling mill.

The old man asked, "In other words, you came back this time for a mission?"

"It doesn't count."

Cao Liang said: "I came back this time because a friend in the city likes wild game and wants to buy it for a high price, so I plan to try my luck in the mountains."

"Liangzi, you're overthinking it. You were just lucky to get a wild boar last time. Where can you get something from the mountains now?"

Cao Weimin hit back without any hesitation.

Cao Liang didn't care and said with a smile: "My luck has always been good."

He looked at the old man and said, "Master, since I promised them, I must go into the mountains to have a look. Maybe I can get something."

The old man hesitated for a moment before saying, "You can go into the mountains, but as I said before, you can only wander around the periphery and not go deep into the mountains."

"Good Le!"

Cao Liang agreed directly, but whether to enter or not, wouldn’t it be up to him to decide?

He parked the car, drank a bowl of water with Gangzi, and went to the back mountain.

As soon as Cao Liang left, Cao Weimin walked towards the bicycle.

Just as he was about to push the cart, he heard the old man scolding, "Second brother, what do you want to do, you little brat!"

"Dad, this is a rare opportunity. I want to take a ride."

"Get lost, if you can, just ride it. If you break it, do you have the money to pay for it?"
