Siheyuan: A Cook in the 60s

"Yes, there are computers. Mommy said that in the United States, many people use computers for work."

"Computers... our school only has two. Teachers really treasure them."

Time slipped away slowly during the conversation.

No matter how much money the restaurant makes, as an ordinary person, it is always exciting during the period leading up to the Chinese New Year.

At night, when I return home.

Qin Huairu had already arrived home before them.

At this moment, I am talking to Jia Zhang at home.

"What happened to Bang Geng and that girl? It's Chinese New Year, and he didn't even come back to check on them."

The first topic at home is always jokes.

Life was much better, but somehow it was less popular.

The two girls were not at home either, they were living in school.

Qin Huairu went to the countryside to look after the farm and only came back once a week. As a result, she was the only old lady left at home. If there weren't so many neighbors, she would be bored to death.

It's a rare opportunity for me to come back, so I must ask about Banggeng. When Banggeng has another baby, it would be nice to have him take care of her.

Come to think of it, I'm getting old.

"I'll tell you when he comes back." Qin Huairu's expression became a little strange.

"It's done?!"

"It's done...right?"

"That's good, that's good." Jia Zhang stood up quickly, turned left and right, and seemed to remember something: "Then we have to buy more food quickly."

"What food do you want to buy?" As soon as Xiaodang entered the house, he heard his grandmother talking about food.

"Your brother has a wife now. He will come back tomorrow and he must get something good."

"Mom, are you still short of food? Don't we have a farm?" Xiaodang put down the things in his hands, took out a piece of clothing, and placed it in front of Jia Zhang: "Here, grandma, this is for you!"

"Huh? Bought it at the department store? That's too expensive."

"It's not that expensive, it's just for you to wear. I don't need that little money. I can make money now, so I should be filial to you."

The Jia family is also living in harmony.

As for the Cao family, it was extremely lively.

Three little kids were talking and watching TV with a few old people at home.

Several adults gathered together to discuss what to eat during the New Year.

"If you ask me, we should just eat hotpot. After that, we can make some dumplings. It will be convenient too." Cao Wei made a suggestion.

"Go, why are you so lazy." Liu Sandao glared at Cao Wei. "I don't object to hot pot, but the necessary dishes must be included. Let's do the math. Three little kids can eat a lot, and you and I can eat a lot. The rest are your mistress, the old man, and your women. The Jia family will also come over to eat during the New Year, right?"

"Well, if you count them, there are quite a lot of people." It's hard to say for others, but Cao Wei knows that the two little girls from the Jia family will definitely come here.

Little Huaihua was a picky eater, and the older she got, the more so. She liked to eat the food Cao Wei cooked. After going to school, she would always come back with tears in her eyes, wanting to eat delicious food. For this, she didn't know how many times she had been scolded by Jia Zhangshi and Qin Huairu.

"The Jia family has one, two, three, four, and five." Qin Jingru counted on her fingers: "There are more than ten people in our family. We need to get more."

"What do you want more?" Qin Huairu walked in from outside.

"Thinking about the New Year's Eve dinner." Cao Wei responded, asked her to sit down, and served her a cup of tea.

"Oh, then add one more. Banggeng will bring his girlfriend back tomorrow."

"Wow, good boy, can you fool people there?"

"What do you mean by 'fooled'! Be serious. You are my elder." Qin Huairu slapped him in annoyance.

"I'm not. I'm still young."

The sound of the TV gradually dissipated into the night, and slowly, the entire bustling courtyard became quiet.

inside the room.

Three women and one man, chatting.

"If you ask me, when I bought the house, I specifically asked the master to help me make the bed bigger. It was a very wise decision." Cao Wei sighed. You know what, if it wasn't a big bed, how could four people lie down on it.

"Go away, you are so frivolous!"

"Yes, yes, you are the most serious one." Qin Jingru said sarcastically, "Why don't you come back to help? You don't know how busy our restaurant is."

Qin Huairu rarely refuted and was silent for a while before saying, "I'll be back soon."

Cao Wei pinched her cheek and said gently, "Don't worry, just do what you want to do. It won't take a while."

"Ah."

"Don't be in a hurry, just do what you want to do." Qin Jingru said sarcastically.

"Qin Jingru, you are going to die!" Qin Huairu glared at him.

"Lululu." Qin Jingru made a face.

Lou Xiao'e crossed her arms and watched the two bickering with a smile on her face. She looked like she was about to crack some melon seeds. She even winked at Cao Wei.

Cao Wei: ...

It’s true that my uncle can tolerate it, but my aunt can’t.

cough cough...

"I say." Cao Wei lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling, "How is the old man Bai's health? Don't let him get sick from overwork."

"I'm not that exhausted, but I'm with Banggeng all day long."

"Ah?" Cao Wei was puzzled: "That old man has a bad temper."

"Yeah, but Bang Terrier proposed to his granddaughter."

"Hiss." Cao Wei took a breath and said, "Is Banggeng so thirsty?"

"Don't talk nonsense. That girl is pretty good. She just has a bad temper, but she's pretty good. She's educated and pretty."

"It's just hard for Bang Geng, right?"

"You are his parent as well. Tomorrow, you need to be more reliable. If this marriage doesn't work out, you can handle it yourself!" Qin Huairu rolled her eyes.

"Who is it?" Qin Jingru and Lou Xiao'e were curious.

"Bai Xiaoxiao, you know him."

"Oh, that bad-tempered little girl." Qin Jingru knew.

Among the people picked up by Cao Wei that year, there were Old Man Bai and Bai Xiaoxiao who was beside Old Man Bai.

In fact, the old man was unlucky. He came to the city that year just to talk about farms, but he didn't catch up with the good times. The main reason was that many of his opinions were based on the large farm model of the western country. He was carried away with his chair, and his granddaughter and apprentice who came with him to see the world were also implicated.

That year, Old Man Bai was in such a state that he was unrecognizable, but his granddaughter Bai Xiaoxiao did not give up. She looked for medicine everywhere, gritted her teeth, and persisted. Then she met Cao Wei.

By the way, Cao Wei picked up the three of them.

But Bai Xiaoxiao's personality also changed from that of a little girl to an extremely hot-tempered one. There was no other way. At that time, if she didn't stand up, she would not be able to survive.
