Siheyuan: Cao Liang's rise

It was almost noon when the house was finally cleaned up.

"Sister Xingzi, I'm hungry."

Xiaotao rubbed her belly and said to Meng Xiaoxing.

In the morning she had half a bowl of cornmeal porridge and a steamed bun. The child was still growing, and she had just helped clean the house, so she was already hungry.

I just couldn't help but keep silent because I saw everyone was busy.

"Okay, I'll go wash my hands first, and then I'll feed you."

Meng Xiaoxing responded with a smile.

"It's almost noon, so I'll go back and cook."

Aunt Ning also said.

Aunt Ning is the aunt who helped so eagerly just now. Her husband’s surname is Ning, so Cao Liang calls her Aunt Ning.

Meng Xiaoxing tried to persuade her to stay, "Aunt Ning, eat first and then go back!"

"No, no, my kids are waiting for me to cook!"

Aunt Ning waved her hand to refuse, and went back without waiting for Meng Xiaoxing to continue to persuade her.

"This..." Meng Xiaoxing looked at Cao Liang with some embarrassment.

Cao Liang smiled and said, "It's okay, we'll get along slowly in the future. Aunt Ning is a very nice person."

Cao Liang also understood what Meng Xiaoxing meant. It was simply that he felt embarrassed because someone had helped him.

"That's all it can do."

Meng Xiaoxing nodded and then asked, "Eat before going back?"

"Row."

Seeing that Cao Liang agreed, Meng Xiaoxing happily washed her hands and went into the kitchen.

Cao Liang went out for a while, and when he came back, he had a cleaned chicken in his hands.

He came to the kitchen and handed the chicken to Meng Xiaoxing, "Here, noodles alone won't do. Let's cook the chicken too!"

"Where did you come from?"

Meng Xiaoxing said in surprise.

Cao Liang said: "I brought it this morning, but I just didn't take it out."

Meng Xiaoxing thought about it, shook her head and said, "Forget it, you can take it back! Just eat the noodles, I even added an egg in it!"

For them, this is already good enough.

"I'm not giving it to you. I'm giving it to Xiao Tao and the monkey. I'll eat it myself too."

Cao Liang smiled and said, "Besides, isn't this to celebrate your move? Do you want to do it?"

"...I do."

Meng Xiaoxing was speechless. This guy even used such an excuse to get herself to do it.

After half an hour.

The chicken was stewed and the noodles were ready. The noodles were cooked in chicken soup, which was Cao Liang's request.

After serving.

Meng Xiaoxing served a bowl of chicken and said to Monkey, "Monkey, take this to Aunt Ning's house."

After that, she looked at Cao Liang and said, "Is it okay?"

Cao Liang smiled and nodded.

Meng Xiaoxing is still very knowledgeable about the ways of the world.

The monkey responded and left.

After a while, he came back and said, "Aunt Ning didn't want it yet, but I put it on the table and ran back."

Meng Xiaoxing smiled and said, "Okay, sit down and eat noodles!"

Cao Liang picked up a chicken leg and gave it to Xiao Tao, saying with a smile, "Eat it!"

"Thank you, big brother."

Xiao Tao happily picked up the chicken leg and took a bite, her eyes narrowed with fragrance.

Cao Liang picked up another piece of meat and gave it to Meng Xiaoxing.

"Thank you."

Meng Xiaoxing thanked him and started eating.

Cao Liang joked: "You don't want to eat it!"

Meng Xiaoxing's face froze, and then she rolled her eyes at Cao Liang, "I'm not a fool, why shouldn't I eat?"

"Then why are you being so polite!"

Cao Liang said arrogantly: "You are my partner now, so what's wrong with eating my food? If you keep being so polite to me, I won't come again."

"Vulgar, eating!"

Meng Xiaoxing glared at him, then puffed up her cheeks and said angrily, "I won't say anything, okay? You only know how to bully me."

Ah!

Cao Liang was delighted. He looked at Monkey and Xiao Tao and asked, "Tell me, have I ever bullied your sister Xingzi?"

"Of course not, you've been very good to Sister Xingzi and us!"

Monkey and Xiaotao said in unison.

Meng Xiaoxing was even more depressed now. She looked at the two little ones and said angrily, "You two are so nice. How long have you known him? Now you are helping him bully me. I am very sad."

whee!

Monkey and Xiaotao knew Meng Xiaoxing was joking, so they just smiled and didn't respond.

After lunch.

Cao Liang sat for a while and then prepared to leave.

Before leaving, he asked Meng Xiaoxing: "It's your first day at work the day after tomorrow. Do you need me to take you there?"

"No need, I know the way, I can go by myself, you just go to work!"

Meng Xiaoxing shook her head.

She didn't want Cao Liang to stay away from work all day for her, for fear of affecting him.

"Okay, I'll go to the factory now. See you later."

Cao Liang waved his hand and pushed his bicycle away.

"Big brother, remember to come and see me."

Xiao Tao shouted reluctantly.

"understood."

...

Back to the factory.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw Li Shengli and others drinking tea and chatting.

When Li Shengli saw Cao Liang coming back, he said sarcastically, "Hey, isn't this our Comrade Cao Liang? Are you willing to come to work? If I didn't know, I would have thought you didn't come because you couldn't bear to treat me!"

"I think so too. After all, treating Lao Mo to a meal is quite expensive, so it's normal that I don't want to spend the money."

Wang Weidong nodded in agreement.

After Cao Liang sat down, he said speechlessly: "Hey guys, it's almost done. I've been a bit busy lately. Look, I just finished my work and came here."

"What are you busy with? I don't know you. What could possibly happen to you?" Li Shengli rolled his eyes and didn't believe what he said at all.

Zhou Zhiyuan joked, "Liangzi, you're not busy looking for a partner, are you?"

Cao Liang was stunned and looked at him in surprise.

Zhou Zhiyuan was also stunned, and said blankly: "Did I really guess it right?"

Li Shengli and Wang Weidong were also very surprised, and even Gangzi looked at him curiously.

Cao Liang was not embarrassed at all, he smiled and nodded, "Yes, my buddy has found a girlfriend recently, she moved today, and I went to help her."

"Amazing!"

Li Shengli praised: "Before, my uncle wanted to introduce you to a girl but you refused. You decided to find one yourself! Not bad."

Wang Weidong said with a smile: "Liangzi, when are you getting married? I'll give you a big red envelope."

"I'll give you five bucks as a gift."

Zhou Zhiyuan said with great pride.

Gangzi looked at Cao Liang, seeming to want to say something but stopping himself.

Cao Liang did not hide it and said, "It's Meng Xiaoxing."

Gangzi said happily: "It's good."

Wang Weidong asked curiously, "Gangzi, is Meng Xiaoxing pretty?"

Li Shengli and Zhou Zhiyuan also listened curiously.

Gangzi said honestly: "She is beautiful, the most beautiful girl I have ever seen, and she is also hardworking. My aunt likes her very much."

Li Shengli looked at Cao Liang and said, "Liangzi, when will you bring him here for us to take a look?"

"piss off."

Cao Liang was too lazy to pay attention to them and just drank his tea.

"mean."

Li Shengli and others curled their lips, but did not continue to ask.

At this time, Gangzi said, "By the way, Liangzi, Dongzi and Mosquito came to my house last night. He said that there is news about the matter you asked them to find out, and asked you to go to see your senior brother when you are free."

Cao Liang was stunned, but soon understood what was going on.

After all, we are in the factory now, and some things cannot be said too directly.

Cao Liang nodded and asked, "When does my senior brother ask me to go?"

"Any time is fine."
