Siheyuan: A Cook in the 60s

"Ah!" Qin Jingru jumped three feet high like a frightened little rabbit. Her eyes rolled and a flattering smile appeared on her face: "Sister, hehe."

"Hehe, you still dare to laugh!" Qin Huairu pinched Qin Jingru's ears and pulled her aside: "What era is it now? You still dare to play this? I think you deserve to be punished..."

The sound of being taught a lesson and Qin Jingru's voice begging for mercy spread farther and farther.

Cao Wei looked at the two wooden signs in his hands speechlessly.

He smiled, turned around and continued to spray venom at his disciples.

the other side.

An old lady was helping Yi Yi tidy up his clothes.

Since Yi Yi came home, the whole family has become more lively, and the old man has lost his former seriousness and has gradually become kinder. This person still needs hope, and the old woman's spirit has also become much better.

"Xiaoyi, what's wrong with you? I didn't see you go out to play today." The aunt looked a little surprised.

As we all know, if a child is quiet, he must be doing something strange.

Auntie has never raised a child, but she has seen her neighbors raise children. She is not worried that Yi Yi will do something naughty. Instead, she is worried that Yi Yi will not do something naughty. Compared with other children, Yi Yi is too quiet and sensible. On weekdays, he will never bother Auntie with work that he can do by himself, and will even help with the work. Although Auntie is happy, she also wants Yi Yi to be happier like other children, and not so sensible.

"Mom, I..." Yi Yi shouted softly, but he didn't say the rest of the words. He raised his head and saw the encouraging eyes of the aunt.

"Xiaoyi, if you have any problem, just tell me. Your dad and I are here. It's okay, okay."

"Yes, just tell us what's the problem. There's nothing we can't handle." The uncle said cheerfully. This was true. These days, what could possibly happen? For ordinary people, it's nothing more than eating and drinking. Yi Yi didn't want anything, and the uncle didn't know how to show how powerful he was.

"I...I, I'm actually five years old." Yi Yi lowered his head and said in a low voice.

Five years old?

The aunt and the uncle looked at each other.

They all saw the shock in each other's eyes.

This was something they didn't expect.

Because Yi Yi's body looks like a three-year-old baby, even smaller than an ordinary baby.

When Yi saw that the uncle and aunt were silent, he started crying out of fear: "Mom and Dad, don't you want me anymore? Wuuuuu..."

"No, no, why would I not want you?" The aunt hugged Yi Yi quickly and said distressedly: "Come on, kid, you should just say your age. How can you still talk nonsense?"

"Yes, Xiaoyi, the most important thing in life is to be honest. Don't lie in the future." The old man nodded.

To be honest, he didn't care whether Yi Yi was five or three years old.

That day, when Sha Zhu went to Baweizhai, he thought about it and took Yi Yi with him to have him checked by Old Man Yang.

It wasn't a big problem. Old Master Yang said that the deficit was serious. At that time, he was still thinking, how much deficit could a three-year-old child have? It looked okay. Now that I think about it, Old Master Yang knew the situation at that time, but he didn't say it.

"Yeah." Yi nodded.

"It's okay, it's okay, baby." The aunt touched Yi Yi's head lovingly, feeling so distressed. A five-year-old child, with such a weak body, must have suffered so much in the past.

"Why do you want to say smaller?" asked the aunt.

"I don't know. My parents told me that if someone wants to be my new parents, I should say I am three years old." Yi Yi said while sobbing, "He also said that if the new parents are really willing to support me, I should tell them the truth. My father said that people should be upright and not lie. But I lied again..."

The little child doesn't understand the meaning of this.

Nowadays, when adopting, most people are willing to adopt an immature child, so that he or she will not remember the past. Most of them will make three rules with the previous family, such as not being able to visit the house. Three years old is actually a very awkward age. He or she can remember things, but can basically only do small chores. Not many people are willing to adopt.

But if the child is five years old, it’s different. In most families, a five-year-old child can start working, and by the age of seven, he or she can be considered half a laborer.

Yi Yi's parents used to worry that their child would be taken away as a laborer and abused.

So he lied and said he was three years old.

If someone is willing to adopt him when he is three years old, then most likely they are not from a bad family.

But he was afraid that people would harbor resentment, so he told Yi Yi that if his new parents were nice to him, he should tell the truth.

The young Yi Yi did not understand the reason behind this, but he kept his parents’ words firmly in his heart. He knew that was his parents’ final instruction, and he had to complete it no matter what.

But he was also afraid...

The old man looked at Yi Yi with a complicated expression and touched his head.

Feeling suffocated, he took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, thought for a moment, and put it back: "Your parents are right. When it comes to being a man, you have to be upright."

At this time, the aunt was already wiping her tears.

"Okay, now that we've talked it out, don't worry, your parents don't blame you."

"Yeah." Yi Yi nodded heavily, then said nervously: "Can I go out and watch the cooking?"

"Go."

Children's emotions disappear quickly.

An old man and an old woman in the room looked at each other.

An old lady cried, "This child, he..."

At this point, she couldn't go on.

"Ah." The old man sighed, took out the cigarette he had put away, lit it for himself, and took a puff: "It's not easy for the little kid, we should take good care of him in the future and don't let him go astray. It's always good, let's look forward."

"Yes, look forward." The aunt took a deep breath.

He Yushui looked at the people busy in the yard, wondering what had happened.

He quickly stopped the third uncle who was about to go to the middle courtyard and said, "Third uncle, what's going on? Is there a happy event in our courtyard? Didn't Brother Wei get married a while ago?"

It was a coincidence that He Yushui went to high school this year and lived in the school. She only came back on weekends. In the past few weeks, the school organized some activities, so she simply did not come back. When she came back, she saw that the compound was very lively.

"Yushui, you're back? That's great. Come and help. Your brother is getting married." The third uncle said this with a gloating tone in his voice.

"Ah?" He Yushui opened his mouth wide.
