Siheyuan: Cao Liang's rise

After seeing Director Wang off, Cao Liang went to Gangzi's house again.

It is much more convenient to have a bicycle.

What used to take twenty minutes to get there now takes less than ten minutes.

"Liangzi is here! Let's have dinner at home tonight before going back!"

As soon as I entered the compound, I saw Gangzi's mother washing clothes in the yard. When she saw Cao Liang, she said happily.

Gangzi and Cao Liang have had a good relationship since childhood, and over the past period of time, the quality of their family's food has been improving at a visible rate.

Especially last time Gangzi brought back 20 kilograms of corn flour, and a little meat from time to time, the complexions of the children at home all looked better, so she was naturally happy.

Although she didn't know what the two brothers were doing, she just wanted to know that Cao Liang would not harm Gangzi.

"No, auntie. I have to pick up Yaya later! I just came to talk to Gangzi about something."

"Hey, he's chopping wood in the back, just go over there."

"Row."

I found Gangzi chopping firewood behind the house. Although the stove can burn coal, that thing costs money.

Cao Liang took out two big black tens and handed them to Gangzi.

Gangzi looked at him in confusion.

Cao Liang explained: "This is the money from selling the wild boar."

"Liangzi, let's just forget it! I didn't help at all!"

Gangzi scratched his head, feeling a little embarrassed.

Indeed, apart from going up the mountain with Cao Liang, he could hardly help in any other way, and the money was too much for him to handle.

And Cao Liang also gave him a rabbit.

Cao Liang said with a straight face: "Take it, or I won't take you there in the future."

"No, I have to follow."

Gangzi quickly objected.

Although the chance of Cao Liang encountering danger was very low, he was still worried.

But seeing that Cao Liang insisted, he couldn't refuse. He thought about it and said, "Then I'll just take one."

"Don't talk nonsense, just take it if it's given to you."

Cao Liang stuffed the money into his hands without hesitation and said seriously, "Why are you being so polite? You'll be busy in the future. If you keep being so polite, I won't come to see you again."

This is true.

Now is just the beginning. When the space is well developed, he won’t be able to be involved in everything.

Gangzi is his most trusted brother, so he feels most at ease leaving the task to him.

"...Thank you."

Gangzi's eyes turned red and it took him a long time to utter two words.

Cao Liang rolled his eyes in annoyance, "You're just getting started. I told you I'd lead you to a good life, and the same goes for Dongzi and Mosquito."

"Ok!"

Only then did Gangzi laugh.

"By the way, I got a permanent job and was given a house in our yard. If you have nothing to do tomorrow, call Dongzi and Mosquito to help clean up."

"Really!"

Gangzi was very happy for Cao Liang and said with a smile, "Okay, we'll go there tomorrow morning."

"Just remember it."

Cao Liang patted his shoulder and said with a smile: "Don't be envious, kid. I will arrange a job for you in a while."

Gangzi's family is similar to theirs.

The big house was divided into two rooms. His parents and younger brothers and sisters lived in one room, and he lived in the smaller one.

"Not urgent."

Gangzi waved his hands and said, "I have a place to stay now. Besides, it's not safe for Mosquito and the others to trade on the black market. I still have to watch them."

It is indeed unsafe to carry meat to the black market in the middle of the night to trade.

He was indeed worried about Gu Wen and Wang Dong.

If the meat was lost, he would be heartbroken.

Cao Liang didn't say much.

But work must be arranged for them. The salary amount is not important, but there must be work.

Let’s not talk about anything else, let’s just talk about the wind incident a few years later. Now that I have a job, it’s much easier to explain.

But by then it certainly won't be as convenient to do things as it is now.

Therefore, he wanted to take advantage of these few years to build up his foundation.

But that’s all in the future. We are just getting started now and it will take time.

After chatting with Gangzi for a while, Cao Liang went to pick up Yaya.

Red Star Parenting Class.

Cao Liang and other parents were waiting outside.

Because of the presence of the bicycle, he attracted some attention.

Fortunately, I didn’t have to wait long before I saw the little girl come out.

"Brother, you are the one who picked me up today!"

The little girl skipped towards Cao Liang and saw the bicycle. Her eyes widened and she asked, "Brother, is this bicycle ours?"

Cao Liang nodded, smiled and patted the back seat of the car, "Get in quickly!"

"Great!"

Under the envious gaze of her classmates, Yaya was carried by Cao Liang to sit on the back seat.

Cao Liang rode on it and said, "Hold on tight, it's time to go!"

"Uh-huh!"

Yaya hugged Cao Liang's waist, and Cao Liang pushed hard, carrying the little girl home.

"Brother? Brother! Wait for me!"

When they were almost at the courtyard, Cao Liang heard Xiao Ming's call.

Cao Xiaoming was walking on his way home when he suddenly saw a brand new bicycle passing by quickly.

He didn't care at first, but he seemed to see that the person riding the bike seemed to be his eldest brother, and the person sitting behind him was actually his sister.

After coming to his senses, he shouted hurriedly.

"Walk back by yourself!"

Cao Liang replied without even turning his head, then took Yaya away.

Cao Xiaoming pouted in grievance, thinking that his elder brother was too partial.

Although he is almost home, he also wants to experience the feeling of riding a bicycle, right?

But soon Cao Xiaoming put aside his worries and ran home.

There will be opportunities in the future anyway!

Return to the courtyard.

Cao Liang picked up Yaya and carried the car into the gate.

"Liangzi, this car?"

Yan Bugui looked at the brand new bicycle in shock and was filled with envy.

“From the factory.”

Cao Liang replied again.

Then he took Yaya home.

Yan Bugui felt a little regretful. If it were someone else, he would definitely ask to set up two tables to celebrate, but Cao Liang let it go.

After returning to the house.

He said to the third aunt, "Third aunt, did you know that Liangzi's family bought a bicycle?"

"I know! But Liangzi said it was from the factory."

The third aunt was cooking dinner and replied casually when she heard this.

“From the factory?”

Yan Bugui was stunned for a moment, then he thought of something, "His Third Aunt, are you saying that Liangzi found a job?"

Although Cao Liang just said that it was from the factory, his attention was always on the bicycle and he didn't pay attention.

Now after hearing what the third aunt said, he finally reacted.

The third aunt said sourly, "It's more than that! Liangzi not only found a job, but he is also a regular employee. The factory also allocated him a house, the opposite house that we had originally chosen."

"what!"

Yan Bugui was shocked and said, "Which house is it? I have applied for it so many times and it was never approved. Now it has been given to Cao Liang?"

Suddenly he remembered something and asked hurriedly, "What's in there?"

"Didn't you see it when you came back? I left it behind the house."

Yan Bugui nodded. As long as the things were not lost, many of them could still be used.

Then he asked, "Is it at the steel mill? Was it arranged by the street office?"

"No."

The third aunt shook her head: "When we were looking at houses in the afternoon, Director Wang also came and said that Liangzi found the job himself and was a buyer for the factory."

Yan Bugui was jealous.

Although purchasing is not easy nowadays, it is still a serious job after all!

How come such a good thing doesn’t belong to his family?
