Siheyuan: A Cook in the 60s

"In this process, any small thing can become a problem. So, listen to me and tell them not to send any more letters. Also, you don't want your letter to be opened and made fun of by everyone. This time, someone saved your letter and didn't open it. What about next time? There will always be trouble."

"Okay, I understand. Thank you, boss."

It does not mean that the ideological struggle ended after 76 years.

On the contrary, this struggle will never end.

It's just that the focus will shift accordingly.

"Why thank me? We are all friends. What's more, your contribution is not small." The big leader said cheerfully, looking Cao Wei up and down with admiration in his eyes: "How about it, are you interested in being my secretary?"

"Please don't." Cao Wei waved his hands repeatedly: "In my life, all I want to do is to be a cook. If possible, I would like to open a small restaurant of my own."

"You, you have no ambition." The big boss nodded at him, but did not force him. Everyone has their own ambitions. "Opening a restaurant is not that fast. We need to discuss things involving this level."

It was only many years later, when the senior leaders took a look, that they realized how outrageous this "small restaurant" was.

"I know, I know. I'm just thinking about it. As a cook, there's no way I wouldn't want to open a restaurant. Well, it's time. I won't chat with you anymore. I'm going to cook for you."

"Go ahead." The big leader waved his hand.

It was past noon when we came out of the leader's house.

Cao Wei took the letter and walked to Shichahai.

I arrived at the lake where I said goodbye to Lou Xiao'e many years ago.

No matter what you do, there must always be some sense of ritual. Life needs this feeling.

He was not in a hurry. He first took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket. The cigarettes were quite high-end, Zhonghua with filters. Many years ago, Lou Xiao'e came home and gave him two packs. Since then, he has smoked cigarettes with filters. After Lou Xiao'e left, he couldn't get this kind of cigarettes for a while, and he felt very uncomfortable.

In the past two years, people in the valley have left or gone back to work. Without exception, before leaving, they all asked Cao Wei what he wanted.

Cao Wei had only one condition, he wanted cigarettes with filters, and as a result, there were quite a few of them piled up at home.

After so many years, I started smoking this kind of cigarette again, and it makes me feel very emotional.

I opened the package, picked out one (third tone), put it in my mouth, lit it, and the wind blew gently, and the smoke flew up.

His eyes followed the smoke, slowly looking upwards, until the smoke dissipated in the air, then he returned to the envelope.

Open the envelope.

A letter appeared in his hand.

[Cao Wei, seeing the letter is like seeing the person.]

You should have received my first letter. Did Xiao Jingru make trouble with you?

I think she was just acting so majestic and trying to interrogate you, but she got caught and spanked by you, a bastard.

First of all, I want to make it clear that this is not a show of force from me. Who knows if you have been having affairs with other women in the past ten years? I taught you a good lesson before I left. I don't know if you have become even more of a jerk after ten years.

I am living a good life in Hong Kong.

My eldest and second brothers have established themselves firmly in Hong Kong, and when we went there, no one made things difficult for us.

I gave birth to a baby girl in early 67. I think you should be very happy. You said that you like girls the most. I named her Cao Nian, and her nickname is Nian Nian. She is almost ten years old. She is very pretty. Her eyes are very similar to yours, quirky. She is just a little naughty. How should I put it? She is a bit like a smaller version of Xiao Jingru.

Don’t tell her this, otherwise she will make trouble with me when I go back.

do you know?

I originally thought that after ten years, I would change, and you would change too. People always say that Hong Kong is a colorful world with many interesting things, and slowly, slowly, people will also fall into this world. After leaving you, in fact, I have no confidence. I don’t know what I will encounter, and I don’t know if I can withstand the challenge.

After all, that life of drunkenness and debauchery is not far from me. You know, my family is relatively wealthy.

But I don’t know why, I don’t know why myself, I didn’t.

The feeling of missing someone is not pleasant.

Year by year.

Day after day.

My life has gradually become monotonous since I witnessed the richness and diversity of Hong Kong.

Working, raising my daughter, and missing you have become the main themes of my daily life.

Whenever it was late at night, I missed you so much that I couldn't sleep, but I gritted my teeth. You bastard! I tossed and turned alone in Hong Kong, unable to fall asleep. You were in Beijing, hugging Qin Jingru and Qin Huairu, sleeping soundly!

do you know?

I thought of many ways to take revenge on you, such as "I got married in Hong Kong", "We are not suitable", "I don't like you as a cook", etc. But after thinking about it, when I really started writing, I found that I couldn't continue.

You're just an asshole.

Big bastard!

I can't write any more, I really can't write any more. I don't want there to be even the slightest misunderstanding in our relationship.

But what about you!

There are three women!

You bastard!

asshole!

I love you!】

Cao Wei felt a pain in his finger and could not help but retract it. The burnt cigarette fell into the lake, creating ripples.

He took out another cigarette from his bosom, lit it, and blew out a puff of smoke. The smoke slowly floated upwards, and his head also raised up, looking at the clear blue sky, muttering: "I only got one puff just now, what a waste."

Ten years ago, Lou Xiao'e, no, to be precise, fourteen years ago, was willing to share Cao Wei with others because of social and family reasons. But would Lou Xiao'e be willing to do so now?

She is proud in her heart, and Cao Wei is unsure about it.

But after reading this letter, he couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart.

It is the most difficult to accept the favor of a beautiful woman.

A gust of wind blew, blowing up an unknown small white flower on the grass next to it. The small white flower was very light, almost weightless, and it swayed and floated in the wind, passing over the lake, and was contaminated by a little water vapor, swinging and swinging.

A gust of wind came from nowhere.

When it was hit, the flower slowly fell off, and a seed was revealed in the center of the flower.

Following this unknown wind, it arrived at a golden wheat field and fell safely into her hands.

Lou Xiao'e looked at the white seeds in her hand, raised her head to the sky, and seemed a little dazed.

"Mommy? Come quickly." The little girl's voice made her smile, and she gently dropped the seeds on the ground and buried them in the soil.
