Siheyuan: Cao Liang's rise

"You're welcome. Here, this is a gift for you."

Cao Liang smiled and handed the bag in his hand to Xiaotao.

There's some sugar in it, and some eggs.

Although the little girl has recovered from her illness, she is still very thin and her hair is dry and yellow, which makes people feel sad just by looking at her.

When Xiao Tao saw what was in the bag, she waved her hands in panic, "I don't want it, it's too expensive."

Although she didn't know what White Rabbit milk candy was, the eggs alone were very valuable to her.

It was after she recovered from her illness that Meng Xiaoxing bought her a nutritional supplement.

Moreover, they sent her to the hospital and saved her, otherwise she would probably have died.

Although she is young, she is already sensible.

How could he be willing to take Cao Liang's things?

Cao Liang pursed his lips. This little girl is so sensible that it makes people feel distressed.

Cao Liang thought about it and suddenly said, "Okay! Since you don't want it, I'll throw it away. In our city, you can't take back a gift that's delivered to your door."

Of course, this is definitely to appease children.

But the little girl believed it.

When the little girl heard that Cao Liang was going to throw away such a good thing, she felt so heartbroken.

He quickly snatched the bag from Cao Liang's hand and said, "You can't throw it away. These things can be exchanged for a lot of corn flour!"

"......" Cao Liang was silent for a while, rubbed her head, and asked: "Where is your brother?"

Xiao Tao said honestly: "My brother went out to make money."

Make money?

Cao Liang was stunned.

He remembered that Meng Xiaoxing had said that the monkey was going to pick up scraps.

I guess Monkey was too proud to care about his reputation, so he deliberately lied to his sister and said he was going out to make money.

But it's true, you can make money by picking up junk and selling it.

But who would throw away unwanted things these days? They would definitely take them to a recycling station and sell them!

"Xiao Tao, who are you talking to?"

At this time, Meng Xiaoxing's voice came.

Meng Xiaoxing came out of the house and when she saw Cao Liang, she asked in surprise, "Why are you here?"

Suddenly remembering something, she said embarrassedly: "Sorry, I don't have the money to pay you back now."

A month has passed, and she still hasn't paid Xiaotao back for her medical treatment.

There is nothing we can do about it, after all, the three of them also need to eat.

The two dollars she had previously returned to Cao Liang were the money she had saved.

Cao Liang waved his hand and said, "I just came to see this little girl. There's no rush for money. I'll talk to you when you're ready."

Meng Xiaoxing blushed a little when she heard this.

She also understood that those few dollars might not mean much to Cao Liang.

The dishes cooked in the greenhouse that day cost more than that little money.

But it was about her dignity.

She opened her mouth and invited, "If you don't mind, come in and have a bowl of water!"

This is basic courtesy.

Cao Liang did not refuse and nodded.

Followed Meng Xiaoxing into the house.

As soon as I entered the room, I saw the matchbox on the table. It seemed that Meng Xiaoxing was pasting matchboxes.

It's hard to find a job these days, especially for someone like Meng Xiaoxing who has fled from famine.

The reason I’m able to survive is thanks to the care of the neighborhood office.

Although this house is small and shabby, it is probably rented.

Meng Xiaoxing brought a bowl of water to Cao Liang and said embarrassedly, "The room is a little messy, please don't mind."

"will not."

Cao Liang took the bowl and took a sip.

Xiao Tao stepped forward and opened the bag, then said to Meng Xiao Xing: "Sister Xingzi, look, this is a gift from my big brother."

Meng Xiaoxing's expression changed after just one look.

He quickly took the bag and handed it to Cao Liang, saying, "These things are too valuable. We can't take them. You can take them back!"

Not to mention that Xiaotao’s medical expenses have not yet been paid off, Cao Liang saved Xiaotao, which is a great favor.

I haven't even repaid you for what you have done, so how can I ask for anything from Cao Liang now?

Before Cao Liang could say anything, Xiao Tao said, "Sister Xingzi, Big Brother said that things you send out in Sijiu City cannot be taken back."

Meng Xiaoxing glared at Cao Liang subconsciously.

Although she had only been in Sijiu City for half a year, she knew that there was definitely no such rule in Sijiu City.

This guy is just coaxing a child.

This glare really made Cao Liang feel a bit charming.

He smiled and shrugged, saying, "Don't glare at me. If you don't want it, just throw it away. I definitely won't take it back."

"No."

Xiao Tao said seriously: "These eggs can be exchanged for a lot of food!"

Meng Xiaoxing smiled bitterly in her heart.

Girl, are the eggs the most valuable? It's the candies.

Although she had never eaten it, she could tell it was expensive just by looking at the packaging.

Sit for a while.

Cao Liang stood up and said goodbye.

He rubbed Xiaotao's head and said with a smile: "Brother will come to see you next time when he is free."

Xiao Tao looked at him expectantly, "Big brother, are you really back?"

Cao Liang thought for a moment and said with a smile: "You can also ask your sister Xingzi to take you to my house to play. I have a sister who is the same age as you."

Xiao Tao looked at Meng Xiao Xing, "Sister Xingzi?"

"I'll take you there when I'm free." Meng Xiaoxing said perfunctorily.

But Cao Liang knew that she definitely didn't want to go.

I guess in her heart, she feels that she owes me a lot?

But in fact, Cao Liang didn’t think so much.

He just felt that since they had met, it was fate, so he would help if he could, there was no other intention.

"gone."

Cao Liang waved his hand and walked outside.

"I'll give it to you."

Meng Xiaoxing followed.

When they got outside and saw Cao Liang about to ride away, Meng Xiaoxing couldn't help but ask, "Cao Liang, why... are you helping us so much?"

Cao Liang turned around and looked at her.

Meng Xiaoxing blushed and whispered: "Are you...?"

She felt that Cao Liang was attracted to her.

Otherwise, she felt that there was really nothing in the family that Cao Liang coveted, so why would Cao Liang help them so much?

It’s no wonder she thought so. After all, Chen Huilan’s attitude towards her at the beginning clearly showed that she was interested in her.

She is still confident about her appearance.

When she was in her hometown, she was the most beautiful girl in the village. Young men from the neighboring villages all fell in love with her, but later...

If there hadn't been a famine in her hometown, she would probably have become a mother now?

Cao Liang was stunned for a moment, then he understood what she meant. He nodded and said jokingly, "You're right. I like you. Not only are you beautiful, but you're also efficient at work. My mother also likes you as a daughter-in-law. The only bad thing about you is that you're a bit fierce."

"what!"

Meng Xiaoxing exclaimed.

I...actually guessed it right?

Does this person really like me?

She was a little confused for a moment.

But when she heard Cao Liang call her a tiger, she immediately became unhappy and retorted: "I am not a tiger. That night you and that big guy came to my house with a monkey. Who knows if you are bad people?"

"I'm the only adult at home, so of course I have to protect the monkeys."

Cao Liang nodded secretly, his character was impeccable.

He really dares to take on challenges. This alone makes him better than Xu Damao.

Xu Damao:? Who did I offend? How can this be linked to me?

"Very good." Cao Liang smiled and nodded.

Meng Xiaoxing's pretty face turned even redder.

She thought about it, gritted her teeth and said, "You can let me go with you, but I have a condition, that is, let Monkey and Xiaotao go with you."
