Siheyuan: Cao Liang's rise

"Xiao Ming, Yaya, you must listen to your grandparents at home, don't make trouble, and don't go to dangerous places, remember?"

"Okay bro."

"Remember that, big brother."

After giving some instructions to his younger brothers and sisters, Cao Liang said goodbye to his grandparents, uncle and aunt and returned to the city.

at the same time.

A girl came to No. 95 Nanluoguxiang.

She didn't go in either, but just stood at the gate and looked inside for quite a while.

Seeing this, the third aunt who took over Yan Bugui's position as the "door god" walked towards the girl.

"Girl, who are you? What are you doing in our courtyard?"

While asking, the three aunts were also carefully looking at the girl in front of them.

The girl had two braids and was the prettiest girl she had ever seen. She had a good figure, but was a little thin, her face looked pale, and her clothes had a lot of patches.

It can be seen from the looks of it that her family conditions are not good, otherwise she could have been introduced to her eldest son Yan Jiecheng.

She guessed that it must be a relative of a neighbor in the yard who came to ask for money.

This girl was none other than Meng Xiaoxing, who was considered a tiger woman by Cao Liang last time.

She came to pay back the money today.

It's just that she didn't have enough money with her, so she hesitated just now.

But she wanted to pay back some of it first so that people wouldn't think she was a liar.

"Auntie, my name is Meng Xiaoxing."

Meng Xiaoxing asked, "Excuse me, is there a person named Liangzi in your courtyard?"

That night, Cao Liang did not say his name, but only gave an address. Meng Xiaoxing asked this question when she heard Gangzi calling him that.

"Liangzi?"

The third aunt was startled and asked, "Miss, are you looking for Cao Liang? Are you his relative? But you came at a bad time. His mother went to work. Liangzi took his brother and sister back to his hometown in the countryside yesterday."

When they heard that they were here to see Cao Liang, the third aunt immediately changed her attitude.

Is his name Cao Liang?

Seeing that she had found the right place, Meng Xiaoxing breathed a sigh of relief.

She thanked him and said, "Thank you, Auntie. I'm not his relative. Since no one is home, I'll come another day."

After that she left.

Seeing this, the three aunts couldn't help but feel puzzled.

Not a relative of the Cao family?

Could it be Liangzi’s girlfriend?

It should be impossible.

The third aunt shook her head.

If it was the former Cao family, it would still be possible. After all, those with better financial conditions would not look down on his family.

After all, in the previous Cao family, only Chen Huilan worked and had to support three children.

But things are different now. Cao Liang has become successful, and the Cao family's life is getting better and better. They can eat delicious food every now and then. She is so envious.

How could a family with two working parents choose such a poor girl as their wife?

Besides, Liangzi is not old enough now.

...

noon.

Cao Liang had just returned to Sijiu City and felt that no one was at home, so he decided to take this opportunity to buy some furniture.

He first went to the steel rolling mill, planning to take Gangzi with him since there was nothing to do in the factory anyway.

When we arrived at the Sangu office, Li Shengli and his friends were still drinking tea and chatting as usual.

Gangzi didn't smoke, so he sat by the window.

"Liangzi, you're back!"

Gangzi was the first to notice Cao Liang and shouted with joy.

Li Shengli and the other two also stopped chatting.

Li Shengli even asked directly: "Liangzi, where are the things?"

He looked at Cao Liang's hand, which was empty. He went out to look again, but still nothing.

The enthusiasm suddenly cooled down.

Cao Liang said unhappily, "I didn't get anything good, so I just got some wild rabbits and pheasants and left them at home. I'll bring them here tomorrow."

"Liangzi, is that a lot? Leave one for me." Wang Weidong said.

"Liangzi, I want one to take home as a snack too." Zhou Zhiyuan also said.

"What the hell, wait till Liangzi brings it over tomorrow."

Li Shengli glared at the two of them, then said to Cao Liang, "Liangzi, the stock in my uncle's canteen has run out recently. Can you find a way to replenish it?"

He is in charge of Li Huaide's small kitchen, but actually it is Cao Liang who is in charge.

"Okay, I'll think of a solution in the next two days."

Cao Liang agreed, and then said to Gangzi: "Gangzi, come with me to buy some things."

"it is good."

Gangzi nodded.

Li Shengli asked, "Liangzi, what do you want to buy?"

Cao Liang smiled and said, "Hasn't the house assigned by the factory been renovated? I plan to buy some furniture and move in."

"Can I help?"

"No, just buy a bed and a table."

Cao Liang waved his hand and left with Gangzi.

After leaving the steel mill, Cao Liang and Gangzi went to call Wang Dong and Gu Wen.

As soon as the two of them got up, they were dragged out by Cao Liang.

They do night work, and their biological clocks are completely reversed.

But now you are still young, and it doesn't hurt to make money.

Several people came to the department store.

Originally, Cao Liang planned to go to the trust store.

But after thinking about it, it would be better to have a brand new bed, since he was not short of money anyway.

"Liangzi."

Wang Dong suddenly bumped into Cao Liang. Cao Liang turned around and found that Wang Dong was looking at a girl.

The girl looked older than them. She had braids which was popular among girls nowadays, and wore a fashionable skirt. She had a pretty oval face and fair skin, giving people a feeling of youth and beauty.

Cao Liang joked, "Why, you like it?"

"But there's no chance. Look at the girl's clothes." You can tell her family is well-off. She will definitely look down on a poor boy like you."

"Liangzi, what do you mean? Are you looking down on me? After all, my monthly income is not less than those working people!"

Wang Dong retorted unconvinced.

Then he realized that he had been led astray and explained, "It's not what you think. That girl is the girl I met last time."

Cao Liang looked at Gu Wen, and Gu Wen said, "It seems so."

"What do you mean by 'seemingly'? It must be her!"

Wang Dong smiled foolishly and said, "I still remember her charming eyes at that time."

After hearing this, several people were speechless for a moment.

It's been so long, and you don't even know her name, how dare you say this.

Cao Liang joked, "Didn't you say you wanted to marry her? Now that I've met her, go ask for her name and address!"

"Just go, who is afraid of whom?"

Wang Dong was also a thick-skinned man, and he immediately walked towards the girl.

Cao Liang was too lazy to pay attention to him and went to buy a bed and a table.

After paying the money, he asked Gangzi to find two people who pulled a cart and asked them to take the things back.

Just as I was about to go back, Wang Dong came back with a look of depression on his face.

Cao Liang laughed and said, "Is it just like what I said, that people look down on you?"

"Don't mention it."

Wang Dong said depressedly: "When I went over, the woman called me a little hooligan and scolded me."

"What about the name?"

Wang Dong's expression became even more resentful.

Cao Liang understood immediately.

Well, I not only didn’t ask for the name and address, but I also got scolded.

But in the eyes of Cao Liang and others, this guy deserves it.
