Siheyuan: Cao Liang's rise

As soon as Cao Liang returned to the courtyard, he met Lao Lei in front of the back house.

"Old Lei, is it finished?"

Cao Liang saw that they had packed up their tools, gave cigarettes to Lao Lei and his two apprentices, and asked.

"Thank you, Mr.

Lao Lei took the cigarette and nodded, "Boss, can you inspect it?"

"Row."

Cao Liang agreed, walked into the house and began to look around.

After a while, Cao Liang nodded with satisfaction. It was indeed a good job and the inside looked brand new.

Cao Liang went into the toilet again and took a look. He was also very satisfied. He would no longer have to squeeze into the smelly public toilet.

Even the garbage in the house was cleaned up by Lao Lei and his two apprentices, which was very thorough.

After the inspection, Cao Liang went out and gave Lao Lei a thumbs up, praising him: "As expected of Yangshi Lei, his craftsmanship is really amazing. I am very satisfied."

Lao Lei smiled and said, "As long as the boss is satisfied, next time you have work, don't forget me, Lao Lei."

"Easy to say."

Cao Liang agreed, gave Lao Lei, his two disciples a pack of cigarettes, and sent them away.

The wages have been paid.

Moreover, Cao Liang gave them a pack of cigarettes every day.

Otherwise, do you really think that others would be so sensible?

This is all human nature.

After seeing Lao Lei off, Cao Liang returned home.

Chen Huilan had already prepared dinner. As usual, there was some leftover food from lunch brought back from the cafeteria and a few steamed buns.

"You're back! Sit down and eat!"

The family started to eat, and Chen Huilan asked, "Liangzi, I went to see the house over there just now, it's pretty good. When are you planning to move in?"

Before Cao Liang could say anything, Xiao Ming excitedly asked, "Brother, after you move in, will the wing be mine?"

It’s not his fault. He is twelve years old and a big boy.

What's going on with him sleeping on the same kang with his mother every day?

Moreover, Yaya is very good at sleeping and often puts her feet close to his mouth at night.

"Okay, you can stay here."

Cao Liang smiled and said to Chen Huilan, "Wait a few more days! I'll go get some furniture when I have time."

I won’t talk about anything else, at least you have to get a bed!

Chen Huilan smiled and nodded.

Life is getting better and better now, and Chen Huilan smiles more often.

The eldest son has grown up and is very capable. Now he not only has a job, but also a house. The only thing he lacks is a wife.

In two years, Liangzi will reach the age when Xiaoming grows up.

By giving my job to Xiao Ming, I can stay at home and take care of Liangzi's child with peace of mind.

It’s beautiful just to think about it.

"Wow, that's great! I'm going to have my own house."

When Xiao Ming got Cao Liang's consent, he shouted excitedly.

Yaya looked at Cao Liang eagerly and said with a pout, "Brother, I want my own house too."

"Haha." Cao Liang laughed and said, "Okay, when you grow up, I'll give you the big house that I just built."

"Okay, big brother, let's pinky promise."

The whole family is enjoying themselves.

Jia family.

The Jia family seemed a little depressed at this moment, which was completely different from Cao Liang's happy atmosphere.

Glancing at the steamed bread and pickled vegetables on the table, Jia Zhang said in dissatisfaction, "Hasn't that idiot Shazhu brought back my lunch box yet?"

Upon hearing this, Jia Dongxu opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but after all, she was his own mother, so he thought about it and said nothing.

Qin Huairu shook her head. She had just washed clothes for half an hour, but she didn't see Shazhu.

"Why don't you wait at the door?"

Jia Zhang glared at Qin Huairu and said, "Just these steamed bread and pickles, Qin Huairu, do you want to starve me and my eldest grandson to death?"

"Mom, I didn't..."

Qin Huairu looked at Jia Dongxu aggrievedly, and the latter shook his head slightly. Qin Huairu had no choice but to go to the door and guard it aggrievedly.

after a while.

Qin Huairu came back empty-handed.

Jia Zhang complained: "This stupid Zhu really wants to starve us to death. When he comes back, I will scold him to death."

She looks so righteous that if you don't know her, you would think that Sha Zhu owed her something. It's quite impressive.

"Mom, please stop talking."

Jia Dongxu advised: "It's possible that the factory had a reception and Sha Zhu was delayed."

He just couldn't listen anymore.

Although he also thought that Shazhu was quite stupid, after all, he had supported his family for so many days.

If these words get out and are heard by Sha Zhu, what will happen if he stops helping me in the future?

He said it was a great relief, but in the end, wasn't he the one who suffered?

snort!

Jia Zhang curled her lips but said nothing more.

...

He family.

It was already past eight o'clock.

He Yushui made himself some food and after eating, he prepared to go back to his room to rest.

But when she saw that Sha Zhu hadn't come back so late, she couldn't help but feel worried.

Although she was still angry about Sha Zhu bringing the lunch box back for the Jia family instead of her sister, she still cared about her brother Sha Zhu very much.

I waited for a while, but still no one showed up.

He Yushui was worried that something had happened to Sha Zhu, so she went to Yi Zhonghai's house.

"Uncle, have you seen my brother?"

"Your brother hasn't come back yet?"

Yi Zhonghai was also a little surprised, and then he comforted her: "It should be because there was a reception at the factory, so he came back late."

He Yushui rejected it and said, "No, we usually have a reception, and my brother would have come back by this time."

Yi Zhonghai thought so too.

He thought for a moment and comforted her, "Yushui, don't worry. I'll go ask for you."

"Thank you, sir."

Yi Zhonghai planned to ask Liu Haizhong first, after all, Liu Haizhong came back later than him today.

So he walked towards the backyard.

He Yushui followed behind.

When we arrived at Liu's house, the lights had already been turned off and they had gone to bed.

Yi Zhonghai knocked on the door.

"Lao Liu, open the door, something's up."

Soon, Liu Haizhong opened the door and said unhappily, "Old Yi, it's already this late, what do you want?"

Yi Zhonghai asked directly: "Old Liu, have you seen Zhuzi today? That guy hasn't come back yet."

"Silly Pillar?"

Liu Haizhong was stunned for a moment, then asked, "Old Yi, you don't know?"

"what do you know?"

Yi Zhonghai frowned.

Liu Haizhong said: "Shazhu was caught stealing from the public sector by the security department. He is probably still being held in the security department now!"

Yi Zhonghai asked hurriedly: "Old Liu, what is going on?"

So Liu Haizhong told Yi Zhonghai what he saw in the afternoon.

Only then did Yi Zhonghai know what had happened.

"Uncle, what should we do now?"

He Yushui asked anxiously.

She really couldn't understand. Her brother was a cook and had no shortage of food, so why did he steal food from the canteen?

Yi Zhonghai said with an unnatural expression: "Yushui, don't worry, wait for me to think of a solution."

I was thinking in my heart: I hope that idiot Zhu won’t give me away!

After all, it was he who instigated Sha Zhu to do this.

The first thing he was worried about was not Sha Zhu, but that he would be implicated.
