Siheyuan: A Cook in the 60s

"It's okay, let's go."

"Oh, by the way, I have to go buy a chicken to take home. It's raining today, so I'll satisfy her craving and give my wife some nourishment. You go back first."

"to make."

Compared to the original work, reality is very different.

First of all, Qin Huairu's family is no longer the stingy family that runs into deficit every year.

The Jia family's living conditions gradually improved.

However, Qin Huairu's work level was also stuck because she was not allowed to take the assessment.

But this is not important. Forty-seven yuan a month, with food supplies in the city, is enough for her family to have enough food and drink and even have some surplus.

I don’t know how Lou Xiao’e and Qin Huairu communicated.

After Banggeng started school, Qin Huairu started giving him pocket money.

Everyone in the courtyard knows about it.

Therefore, Banggeng roasted a chicken in the open space and no one thought it was wrong. Dingtian thought that he had saved money for a long time and took his two sisters to satisfy their cravings. Shazhu thought so too. He also did the same when he was a child. When he was an apprentice, he saved some money and treated his sisters to a good meal.

Cao Wei just looked at the three guys eating chicken.

Shaking his head, things began to become interesting.

Back to the yard.

The third uncle was sitting at the door, looking angrily.

"What's the matter, Third Uncle? Who are you angry with again?" Cao Wei laughed as soon as he saw the old man.

It must be said that Uncle San is a great person to chat with.

"These days are so sad. Look at me. I finally raised a few children, but now they have grown up and become independent, and they are rebelling against me. What is this! This is moral degradation..."

"Okay, okay, okay, Third Uncle, please stop complaining. It's just a small matter that Yan Jiecheng doesn't want to pay."

"How can that be called a small matter?!" The third uncle widened his eyes, as if Cao Wei had said something extremely treasonous.

"You don't need food now."

"You can't be poor if you don't have enough food and clothes, but if you can't plan well, you will be poor. You are young and don't understand."

"Yes, yes, I don't understand." Cao Wei waved his hand: "But I have a question that I would like to ask you."

"You say." When he said this, the third uncle started to show off. He was the most educated person in this courtyard.

"What do you mean by 'the widow'?"

“You don’t understand this, do you? ‘Guaren’, usually, that’s the self-proclaimed name of the emperors in ancient times. Why is it called ‘Guaren’? It’s because…” The third uncle talked on and on, saying that the emperor has no family affection in his eyes, only interests and calculations, so he is called Guaren.

"Oh." Cao Wei suddenly realized: "So that's how it is. I understand. OK, I won't talk to you anymore. I'm going home."

"Go ahead." The third uncle waved his hands proudly.

After a while, Yan Jiecheng came out and saw his father. He said helplessly, "Dad, I really can't give you the money you want. You see, my husband and I only earn that much every month, and you charge too much for food. Yes, the house is yours, but you can't do this."

"What should we do then?" The third uncle glanced at him.

"Look, you have this attitude again. You act like an emperor in this family."

The third uncle frowned and said, "Don't talk nonsense. Wait, what did you say just now?"

"You are just like the emperor."

The third uncle was stunned, sat up straight, and looked his son up and down. People say that the eyes are the windows to the soul. At this moment, in his son's eyes, he saw helplessness, irritability, depression and a series of negative emotions, but he did not see family affection.

He opened his mouth, but for a moment, no words came out.

"Can you please say something? Last time, Yu Li liked a piece of cloth and wanted to buy it and make a piece of clothing for you at the same time. But we didn't have enough money, so we thought about getting some from you. But you insisted that you pay for it yourself, which made Yu Li very angry..."

"Okay, okay, let me think about it, let me think about it, and we'll talk over dinner." The third uncle waved his hand.

"That's fine, if you want to."

The third uncle sat back on the stool, staring straight at the backyard, muttering to himself, "What about me?"

Just stepped into the house.

Two little balls came running over, one in front and one behind.

His steps were still a little unsteady and he was swaying.

Cao Wei quickly squatted down and picked up the little ball on the left. As for the one on the right, he took out a candy from somewhere and handed it over.

As soon as Qin Jingru came out, she saw the obvious difference in treatment and couldn't help rolling her eyes: "Can you not be so biased?"

Qin Jingru has become more stable after becoming a mother, but only a little, not much.

"Dad, dad, mom bullied me today!" Cao Leyao complained in a baby voice, and then sighed in a serious tone: "She is so mean. I told her not to rub my face because she would drool, but she insisted on rubbing it. I wanted to rub it back, but she wouldn't let me. It was Xiao'e's mom who helped me..."

"How dare you say that!" Qin Jingru said anxiously: "I am the queen."

"Look, she's anxious."

Cao Wei: ...

He looked at the mother and daughter who were bickering, and then at his son who was eating candy beside them with his head down.

I have to say, this scene is more or less heartwarming.

Suddenly I felt something pulling at my trouser leg.

When he looked down, Cao Xiucheng stretched out his hand to him. Well, he wanted to eat again.

Cao Wei calmly gave another candy.

However, when it was in the air, it was snatched away by Qin Jingru.

Cao Xiucheng looked at Qin Jingru pitifully.

"Don't eat it anymore, or your teeth will get damaged!"

"Okay then." Cao Xiucheng nodded in approval: "Then Dad, when will we cook?"

"No, why can't I cook? Is that unreasonable?" Qin Jingru was not convinced.

"Mom, don't worry. Dad is a chef and needs more practice. Please be kind and let him practice more." Cao Xiuchen advised Qin Jingru like a little adult.

Qin Jingru didn't have time to be happy yet.

Cao Leyao said: "He said this after he was beaten for saying his mother's cooking was not tasty. He went to ask Xiao'e's mother, and Xiao'e's mother taught him that."

Cao Wei: ...

Qin Jingru: ...

Qin Jingru went out angrily to find trouble with Lou Xiaoe.

"Dad, dad, put me down."

Cao Wei let Cao Leyao down. Cao Leyao put on his shoes and ran out. Obviously, he was going to watch the fun.

"Aren't you going?" Cao Wei asked Cao Xiucheng.

"I'm not going. I want to watch you cook. Mom will definitely rub Xiao'e's mom's face when she goes over."

Cao Wei: ...

I always feel that Lou Xiao'e is teaching her two children something strange, but I can't tell what's strange about it. These two children are really smart.
