Siheyuan: Cao Liang's rise

After more than two hours, they finally returned to their hometown in Gaoling Village.

After riding a bicycle for more than two hours, carrying two children, Cao Liang did not even breathe heavily.

Cao Liang felt that he was now moving further and further towards an inhuman direction.

Fortunately, Cao Liang had good control over the strength, otherwise the bicycle would have been scrapped with this kick.

As soon as I returned to the door of my hometown.

The two little ones jumped out of the car and shouted, "Grandpa, grandma, we are back."

Grandfather Cao Dashan was smoking in the yard at that moment. He turned around and said happily, "Oh, it's my good granddaughter who's back! Come, give me a hug."

Upon hearing this, Yaya ran briskly into Cao Dashan's arms and called out sweetly, "Master, I miss you so much."

"Haha, I miss you too."

Cao Dashan touched Yaya's head with a smile.

In the Cao family, by the time of Cao Liang, there was only one girl, Yaya. Not to mention the others, but the grandfather Cao Dashan was a rare one.

Seeing that Cao Dashan seemed to be ignoring him, Xiao Ming said in dissatisfaction: "Master, I am back too."

"I saw it, I saw it."

Cao Dashan smiled and reached out to rub Xiao Ming's head.

Hearing the voices outside, the old lady and Second Aunt and her family also came out.

"Oh, my eldest grandson is back!"

The old lady always has only her eldest grandson Cao Liang in her eyes.

"Milk."

"grandmother."

Yaya and Xiao Ming greeted.

"Xiao Ming and Ya Ya are back too!"

The old lady smiled and nodded, then said to Cao Liang, "My dear grandson, did you come back by bicycle? You must be exhausted! Grandma will get you some water."

Xiao Ming said aggrievedly: "Grandma only knows how to love big brother."

Xiaojun and Xiaomin came over to comfort him, "Xiaoming, don't be sad. We will take you to get bird eggs later."

"Okay, why don't we go now?"

As expected of a child, his mood changes quickly.

Xiaojun and Xiaomin glanced at their mother.

Second Aunt Ding Chunhua smiled and waved her hand, saying, "Go ahead! Be safe and remember to come back for lunch."

When the three boys heard this, they immediately ran out of the yard.

"Wait for me, I'm going too."

Seeing this, Yaya couldn't stay any longer, so she hurriedly left her grandfather Cao Dashan's arms and chased after him.

"You three, take good care of your sister."

"I understand, brother..."

The three little ones just responded once and then ran away with Yaya.

The old lady brought out a bowl of water from the house, "Liangzi, come and drink some water."

"Thank you for the milk."

Cao Liang took a sip, returned the bowl to the old lady, and took two sacks from the cart.

Seeing this, the old lady was dissatisfied and said, "Why did you bring something back again, kid?"

"Grandma, now that your grandson is working and making money, he will definitely honor you."

Cao Liang smiled and opened a sack.

Uncle Cao Weimin came forward to take a look and exclaimed, "Wow, what a thing! White flour, fish, tobacco and alcohol, all good stuff!"

Then he reached out and picked up a cigarette and was about to open it.

Snapped!

Suddenly, he was hit on the back of his head. Cao Weimin said aggrievedly, "Dad, why did you hit me?"

"What do you say?"

Cao Dashan stepped forward and snatched the cigarette from Cao Weimin's hand, holding it in his arms and saying, "Get lost, this cigarette is a gift from my eldest grandson."

The second uncle curled his lips and reached for the wine again, "Then this wine..."

"Get lost, this wine is also a gift from my eldest grandson."

Second uncle: "..."

"Here, Uncle, I'll give you this bag."

Seeing that his second uncle looked depressed, Cao Liang took out a packet from his pocket and gave it to him.

Only then did my second uncle laugh.

"Wow, Daqianmen, I heard it's the cigarette for officials."

The second uncle unpacked it, took out a cigarette, put it in his mouth, lit it, took a puff and sighed, "It's worthy of being a cadre cigarette. It doesn't burn my throat when I smoke it."

After sending his uncle away, Cao Liang took out two iron cans from the sack and said to the old lady and the second aunt, "Grandma, second aunt, this is malted milk. It's for your nutrition. Drink a cup every morning and evening. It's good for your health."

He bought this at the supply and marketing cooperative before. Li Huaide gave him a lot of tickets, so he didn't need it.

When he comes back this time, it can be regarded as a homecoming.

The old lady said distressedly: "Oh, this iron can is not cheap. My dear grandson, I am very happy that you are back. Why spend this money?"

Cao Liang smiled and said, "What's the point? You need to stay healthy. You will have to take care of my children in the future!"

"Okay, listen to me, my dear grandson. I will take care of your children from now on."

The old lady was so moved that she cried.

Cao Liang said to his second aunt, "Second aunt, here are ten kilograms of white flour. Grandpa and grandma are old, and it's not good for their health to eat coarse grains every day. Please give them some white flour buns from time to time. I will send it back if there is no more."

Ding Chunhua smiled and nodded: "I'll listen to you."

Cao Dashan suddenly asked, "Liangzi, where is your grandfather?"

"Of course we have prepared it. Both are the same."

Cao Liang replied, pointing to another sack.

"That's good."

Only then was Cao Dashan satisfied.

He always felt that the Cao family owed Chen Huilan a debt of gratitude, so of course they had to give some good things to Chen Huilan's family.

Fortunately, my eldest grandson is a sensible person.

Chatted for a while.

Cao Liang went to Wanshuigou and delivered the things to his grandparents.

After that, there was another round of greetings, and after much persuasion, I politely declined my grandmother's invitation and returned to Gaoling Village.

I cooked fish in the evening and the kids ate it so deliciously.

After eating, it’s time to think about sleeping.

After all, the Cao family only had three rooms, one for grandparents, one for uncle and aunt, and one for Xiaojun and Xiaomin.

There are three more people now.

When Cao Liang asked this question.

Second Aunt said, "Just let Yaya sleep with me."

The old lady said, "Let those three boys sleep on the floor, and you, my dear grandson, can sleep on the bed."

"Forget it, we can just sleep together. The kang is big enough for everyone."

Cao Liang felt a little embarrassed when he saw the three little ones looking aggrieved.

After thinking for a while, he said to his grandfather Cao Dashan: "Grandpa, why don't we build two more rooms at home! This way, it will be more convenient for us to come back in the future."

Of the three rooms now, the one that Xiaojun and Xiaomin sleep in is actually theirs.

When his father was still alive, his family would live there when they came back.

"Oh, why waste that money? Building a house costs a lot of money."

The old lady felt sorry for her eldest grandson and didn't want him to spend money recklessly, so she was the first to refuse.

Building a house in the countryside would cost at least several dozen dollars.

"Then build one, but only one room is enough. There won't be room for more."

Cao Dashan agreed. He asked, "Liangzi, do you have enough money? I still have a dozen yuan."

Before the old lady could say anything, Cao Dashan explained, "Liangzi is grown up now and will have to get married in the future. He can't squeeze in with Xiaojun and Xiaomin every time he comes back, right?"

Now the old lady was speechless.

"Let's have two rooms! My mom will come back when she's free, and there's just enough space for Yaya and Xiaoming."

"As for the money, don't worry. I have it here."

As he spoke, Cao Liang took out ten big black tens and handed them to Cao Weimin, "Second Uncle, I'll leave the house matter to you. If it's not enough, just tell me when I come back next time."

"That's enough. Two houses won't cost much."

Second uncle waved his hand, and after taking the money, he couldn't help counting it several times.

This was the first time in his life that he had held so much money in his hands.
