Siheyuan: Cao Liang's rise

A day passed by while I was slacking off.

After work in the afternoon, Cao Liang went to the warehouse where Wang Dong and his team got the goods to store some grain, and then changed his route to Meng Xiaoxing's house.

Cao Liang has already made plans that the main transaction in the next two years will be grain.

We may produce some meat from time to time, but it certainly won’t sell as well as grain.

When he arrived at Meng Xiaoxing's house, Cao Liang knocked on the door.

"Who!"

Meng Xiaoxing's voice came from inside, and she waited for a while before opening the door.

Seeing that it was Cao Liang, Meng Xiaoxing's eyes showed a hint of joy, "Cao Liang? Why are you here?"

"Are you here to talk to Monkey about something? But he's sleeping now. He said he's going out at night."

Cao Liang shook his head, "I came to see you."

"Find me?"

Meng Xiaoxing was delighted and asked shyly, "Why...why are you looking for me?"

"You're just going to let me stand at the door and talk to you?"

Cao Liang smiled.

"Ah, sorry."

Meng Xiaoxing came back to her senses and stepped aside awkwardly, "Please come in."

Cao Liang found a stool and sat down. There were some matchboxes on the table. It seemed that Meng Xiaoxing was pasting matchboxes just now.

Meng Xiaoxing poured a bowl of hot water for Cao Liang.

"Thank you."

Cao Liang thanked him and then asked, "Actually, I came here this time because I want to ask you something."

"You...you ask!"

Meng Xiaoxing blushed, lowered her head, and pinched the corners of her clothes with both hands.

It’s no wonder she would think too much, after all, she felt that Cao Liang treated her differently.

And when she went to Cao's house yesterday, Chen Huilan kept asking her what she thought of Cao Liang.

She was also old enough to get married, so she naturally understood what Chen Huilan meant.

She thought about it all night last night.

If Cao Liang asked me to be his partner, would I agree?

She thought about it for a long time and felt that she should agree.

After all, Cao Liang is not only tall and handsome, but also helps their family a lot.

She has a good impression of Cao Liang.

Nowadays, marriages are basically arranged through blind dates, and it is already very good if you can find someone you like.

Her only worry was whether Cao Liang would accept her marrying him with Monkey and Xiaotao.

This was the condition in her mind.

She was also thinking about this matter today, but she didn't expect Cao Liang to come suddenly.

He also said things that made her misunderstand, so she became like this.

"Do you want to work?"

Cao Liang asked.

"...What." Meng Xiaoxing was stunned for a moment and looked at Cao Liang in disbelief.

"I'm asking you, do you want to go to work?" Cao Liang had to say it again.

"Of course I do."

Meng Xiaoxing nodded without hesitation.

She has been in Beijing for almost a year and has always wanted to have a job.

As long as you have a job, you can eat public food and get a house after being converted to a regular employee.

In this way, she can raise Monkey and Xiaotao.

"That's fine."

Cao Liang said: "I have a job opening at a textile factory and I plan to give it to you."

"you......"

"No one in my family wanted the job, but my mother told me to give it to you."

Without waiting for Meng Xiaoxing to ask questions, Cao Liang took the lead in answering her confusion.

Although Meng Xiaoxing was very tempted, she still shook her head and said, "No, I...I can't take it. It's too expensive."

Just as Cao Liang thought, if he gave it to her directly, she would definitely not agree.

She has a strong personality.

Not to mention that a job position costs several hundred yuan, she also insisted on paying back the medical expenses that Cao Liang paid for Xiaotao.

Although it took a long time, it was done.

Meng Xiaoxing said reluctantly: "Please thank my aunt for me, but I really can't accept it."

"Don't be impatient, listen to me first."

Meng Xiaoxing looked at him, and Cao Liang smiled and said, "I told my mother last night that you definitely wouldn't want it, so I thought of a good idea."

"any solution?"

Meng Xiaoxing asked.

She was especially happy when she heard that Cao Liang understood her.

Cao Liang said: "I'm just selling you the job quota. You can accept this, right?"

"How can I afford it?"

Meng Xiaoxing couldn't help but smile bitterly when she heard this.

"Of course I know that."

Cao Liang smiled and said, "What I mean is, after you start working, you can pay me five yuan every month until I pay it off. Do you think you can accept this?"

When Meng Xiaoxing heard this, her eyes suddenly lit up.

If that was the case, she could accept it.

The monthly payment is just too little.

So she shook her head and said, "Five dollars is too little, I'll just pay ten dollars a month!"

Cao Liang laughed and said, "You were just an apprentice when you first started working, earning only a dozen yuan a month, and you paid me ten yuan. How are you going to live?"

Meng Xiaoxing's pretty face turned red. She didn't think of this for a moment.

"Just five bucks will do. I'll take you to register tomorrow."

Seeing that she agreed, Cao Liang stood up, took out the work document and handed it to her, "Just write your name on it. I'm here for this matter. Get ready tomorrow, and I'll pick you up in the morning."

After that he was leaving.

"No, thanks. I can go by myself."

Meng Xiaoxing waved her hands repeatedly: "You still have to go to work tomorrow, it's not good to bother you all the time."

"Do you know the way?"

Meng Xiaoxing said: "Just ask and you will find it."

"Too much trouble."

Cao Liang waved his hand and said, "It just so happens that I know their factory director, so I'll just go with you. I don't have anything to do anyway."

Without waiting for Meng Xiaoxing to refuse, Cao Liang continued, "Also, your home is a little far from the textile factory. However, you are just an apprentice and are not eligible for housing. You'd better rent a house nearby so that it will be convenient for you to go to work."

"It's okay, it's just a short distance, you'll get used to it after walking for a while."

Meng Xiaoxing still felt sorry for the money. Renting a house would cost a lot of money.

Cao Liang said speechlessly: "This place is not close to the textile factory. If we walk, it will probably take more than an hour."

"Besides, your house is drafty everywhere. Even if you are not afraid of the cold, aren't you afraid that the child will get frozen?"

"...Oh well!"

Meng Xiaoxing hesitated for a moment, and finally agreed.

Cao Liang also knew that she cared about Monkey and Xiaotao, so he said this on purpose.

"Okay, then I'll go back first."

Seeing that she compromised, Cao Liang waved his hand and was about to leave.

"I send you!"

Meng Xiaoxing sent Cao Liang to the intersection. Just as Cao Liang was about to ride away, she couldn't help but ask, "Cao Liang, why...why are you so nice to me?"

This wasn't the first time she had asked this question.

Although Cao Liang said that the job was sold to her, she knew that Cao Liang said that deliberately out of consideration for her dignity.

Job opportunities are so hard to come by now, as long as Cao Liang opens his mouth, there will definitely be many people willing to buy them, and they can pay in one lump sum.

Moreover, she had heard before that Cao Liang originally planned to give the quota to her directly.

I just guessed that she didn't want it, so I changed my way of saying it.

Cao Liang turned around and saw that this strong girl was also shyly lowering her head and dared not look at him.

He joked, "My mother said she wants you to be her daughter-in-law. In this way, if the job is given to you, it won't be considered as giving it to an outsider. What do you think?"
