Siheyuan: A Cook in the 60s

Chapter 29: Self-discipline

Cao Wei glanced at the calendar hanging on the wall.

62/4/27

The third day of March.

There's nothing wrong with that. This isn't 66.

After taking a look at Lou Xiao'e's face full of contempt, I understood that she had heard it from her bad friends.

"The higher-ups have been saying that they are against capitalism. I want to tell you something from the bottom of my heart." Xu Damao said this, and he took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it. "It's not easy for me, brother. I have been wanting to be promoted for so many years. The higher-ups said that as long as I do a good job this time, I can be promoted. Then I will be a cadre."

"I was thinking, I'll take care of things outside, but shouldn't I keep a low profile on things at home? Brother, please help me, it's really not easy for me..."

"It's not easy." Cao Wei nodded and took a sip.

"Pfft..." Lou Xiao'e couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Xu Damao turned around and glared at her. I am just playing the victim! What are you doing?

Lou Xiao'e was not at all intimidated. She glared back at him, her eyes full of smiles.

She knew that the "not easy" that Xu Damao said and the "not easy" that Cao Wei said were not the same thing at all.

What Xu Damao said about "not being easy" was just a way of gaining sympathy.

The "not easy" mentioned by Cao Wei refers to Xu Damao's pitiful act just to send his wife into danger.

This woman has completely treated herself as a joke...

"That's not appropriate either." Cao Wei shook his head.

Xu Damao glared at Lou Xiaoe again and said, "Well, you have ruined the good situation."

Lou Xiao'e's smile became even wider. She felt that what happened today was extremely interesting.

"Why is it inappropriate?"

"That's definitely not appropriate. My sister-in-law is a beautiful lady. If she wants to have a meal, you can go find the old man in the courtyard. It's not appropriate to find a single person like me. Besides, even if I accept the invitation, people will gossip about her later." Cao Wei shook his head and refused again.

Woman! That's enough. I'm here arguing with someone, and you're just watching the show from behind? But I'll forgive you for the points.

"Gossip, who would gossip?" Xu Damao knew it was inappropriate. At this time, it would be most appropriate to find someone else in the courtyard, but he was unwilling to do so. The fundamental reason was the promotion. He felt that there were no good people in the courtyard. If his promotion was messed up, who would he go to for justice? In this courtyard, there was only one Cao Wei, who could be fooled.

As for others, I can’t say.

Moreover, even if she could explain it, she couldn't give any details. Just let Lou Xiao'e go to someone's house for dinner. When she investigated later, she found out that the other person was talking nonsense, and then it would be ruined.

But even if he explained the whole thing clearly, whether people would make trouble for him was another matter.

Therefore, there are reasons behind seemingly outrageous operations.

"Then who knows."

"It's not suitable, it's really not suitable, brother." Cao Wei shook his head: "Please don't bully me, I still want to live a good life and get married. Besides, if I eat well, the whole family will not be hungry. I have already eaten in the cafeteria, why bother with this matter?"

Is there a chance?! X2

Xu Damao was able to understand the subtext after all.

And Lou Xiao'e's "there is a play" means "there is a play" in the literal sense.

"Tell me, how much do you want?" Xu Damao gritted his teeth.

"Brother, why can't you understand what people say? It's really not okay!"

"Ten dollars! I'll be back next Thursday! Today, Friday, and tomorrow, that's six days in total, ten dollars! I don't need anything else, just bring back some free vegetables and some steamed bread."

"Xu Damao, who do you think I am? Steamed buns? Free food!" Lou Xiao'e widened her eyes and refused to do it.

"Well, you should make it better, fifteen!"

Cao Wei hesitated, but it wasn't that he was tempted. Oh, no, he was tempted, but the object of his affection was not the fifteen yuan. To be honest, in this day and age, fifteen yuan, if you save it, is enough for your family to eat for a month. Only someone like Xu Damao who is not short of money is willing to give this money. However, Cao's years of hard work are not in vain.

"Well, brother, you don't have to give me fifteen yuan. Just give me a few dollars. I'll still eat in the cafeteria. After eating, I'll bring some back to my sister-in-law. She can make some steamed buns or wowotou at home. That shouldn't be difficult, right?"

After Cao Wei said this, Xu Damao felt a little relieved.

Is he at ease to give Lou Xiao'e to Cao Wei? In fact, he is not at ease. This is also a kind of test. It was not until Cao Wei frantically evaded that he gradually let go of his heart. At this point, Cao Wei gave a suggestion to send food. He can basically be sure that Cao Wei has no idea about his own wife. Although he likes to green Lou Xiao'e on weekdays, it does not mean that he likes self-discipline.

The lethality of a general like Cao Wei is still relatively large.

As for whether Lou Xiaoe will get into trouble.

Xu Damao didn't look down on Lou Xiao'e, he just thought that a grown-up girl like her knew nothing!

"No, I can't do it." Lou Xiao'e said confidently.

Xu Damao:......

Cao Wei: ...

They both put on masks of pain.

"No, what's wrong with just making a steamed corn bread?" Xu Damao had a toothache.

"I just can't. If it really doesn't work, I'll just go home and eat. I don't go out, so I won't ruin your good thing."

"No!" Xu Damao frowned. He didn't have time to argue with Cao Wei. "Twenty! Twenty is okay?"

“Brother, this…”

"Alright, stop talking nonsense, it's settled. I'll get the money for you. If anyone talks later, I'll testify for you. Besides, there's only one deaf old lady in our backyard, she can't hear anything. The second uncle's family beats the children every day when they get home, so they don't have the energy to spread gossip, so you can rest assured."

"Okay!" Cao Wei gritted his teeth and agreed.

"That's right!" Xu Damao took out some money from his pocket and handed it to Cao Wei: "I'll give you half first. I don't have that much on me. I'll give you the rest when I come back."

[Positive emotions +233]

Woman, there is something wrong with you.

"Okay, brother, go ahead. I will take good care of my sister-in-law."

Although these words sounded strange, Xu Damao didn't want to think about them anymore and just turned around and left.

Lou Xiao'e also turned around with a smile.

Cao Wei narrowed his eyes slightly and shouted, "Brother, I'll see you off."

Quickly came to Lou Xiao'e's side.

"Bang!" A loud collision sound was heard.

Lou Xiaoe:? ? ?
