Siheyuan: A Cook in the 60s

Stars, night sky, beer.

It always makes people involuntarily intoxicated.

Lou Xiao'e leaned on his shoulder, Qin Jingru smacked her lips and mumbled something, as if she had dreamed of something funny, and she giggled.

Lou Xiao'e couldn't help it, so she reached out and pinched her cheek.

This pinch made Qin Jingru's brows frown involuntarily. She mumbled a little louder, but she felt a little cowardly.

It's quite fun.

"No, you're already so old, but you still love to play."

"So what? She can play but I can't. Besides, I'm still young." Lou Xiao'e snorted and continued to lean on his shoulder, looking at the stars in the sky: "Hey, you know what? Over the years, I have been thinking about what I am pursuing."

"Hmm? What is it? Staying with the handsome me?"

"You know, once people get something, they don't cherish it that much."

"Oh, you've become a philosopher?"

"That's not the case." Lou Xiao'e sighed, "It's just that today, when I saw Nian Nian eating your barbecue and looking so happy, I felt a little dazed. I can't seem to remember how long it has been since I was so happy."

"Leaving Beijing and going to Hong Kong, those days seemed like what I had been looking forward to, but also not what I had been looking forward to. I thought it was because you were missing from my life. But in the end..."

"In the end, even after arriving in Beijing, you still failed to corrupt my red heart with your capitalism."

"Go..." Lou Xiao'e patted him lightly: "You, you are so full of love. Your tricks are much better than mine. Sometimes I think it was you who went to Hong Kong in those ten years instead of me."

"hey-hey."

"Tsk, you two are exactly alike, one is 'hehe' and the other is 'hehe'. You are a perfect match."

"Good vision." Cao Wei gave a thumbs up.

Lou Xiao'e rolled her eyes and was about to speak when a piece of meat was stuffed into her mouth.

She was slightly stunned.

Her heart, at this moment, was a little confused, as if she had returned to that night many years ago, when a bitch went out to cook, and when she came back, she stuffed two meatballs into her mouth and sucked them at her.

"Suck, suck, suck. Is it delicious?" Cao Wei narrowed his eyes and looked at her with a smile.

"Yeah." Lou Xiao'e lowered her head and rarely argued with him.

"Morning flowers and evening flowers." Cao Wei stood up and carried Qin Jingru back to the room: "I'm going to take Xiaozhu to bed."

"The flowers are still there, and it's not sunset yet!" Lou Xiao'e repeated it and chuckled. "The flowers are still there, and it's not sunset yet!"

I stood up and stretched. The moonlight was beautiful, but without anyone around me, it didn't seem so beautiful.

----

A ray of early morning sunlight streamed into the room.

Qin Jingru rubbed her sleepy face and looked down to find herself sleeping with Lou Xiaoe in her arms.

No one knew where Cao Wei had gone.

A plan came to her mind. She rolled her eyes and stretched out her evil little hand, pressing it on Lou Xiaoe's face. She pinched it and laughed, "I let you pinch me normally, hehe."

One, one, another.

It seems like he is addicted to pinching.

Without noticing, Lou Xiao'e's hands had quietly reached behind her.

Then grab...

"ah?!!"

The dinner table.

Qin Jingru lowered her head and drank the porridge obediently.

"Dad, what are the arrangements for today?" Cao Nian knew without even looking that the queen had been dealt with again, so he turned to ask Cao Wei.

"Ah, no plans."

"Ah? Then what is the purpose of holding these meetings these days? Isn't it to let those foreigners know the profoundness of Chinese culture?"

"Yes." Cao Wei nodded: "So, you have to design. If you haven't designed anything yet, how can you let others know that you are heavy? Spring, summer, autumn and winter, there should be at least a few styles in each season to compete with others, right? Now there is nothing, why do you want me to do it? You have to do this by yourself, the rest is my business."

"Oh." Cao Nian understood. It made sense. If he had nothing, why would he go out?

"What about you?"

"We? Let's go have fun." Qin Jingru said confidently.

"Ah?" Cao Nian was dumbfounded: "No, Madam, you're just going to let me do it all by myself?"

Lou Xiao'e laughed out loud at the side.

"So what? I've come here for you, but I don't know anything about design. You don't need me to tell the story, and my man is here, so what should I do if I don't go out with him?"

Cao Nian: ...

Well, after trying so hard to get people to come here, in the end I’m the only one left.

"Brother Wei, I want to go for morning tea. I haven't been there yet."

Cao Nian almost rolled his eyes to the sky. You said this without any guilt at all.

Cao Nian looked at Lou Xiao'e pitifully: "Mom, please help me."

"No." Lou Xiao'e refused coldly: "She just wants me to help you, I won't be fooled."

Qin Jingru couldn't stop glancing to the side, and her guilty look made Cao Nian cover his face.

"Mom, please help me, there are so many seniors here..."

"That's not that difficult. Just call your Uncle Zhang and ask him to arrange it. By the way, go ask the seniors if they have any dietary restrictions. Southern cuisine is relatively light in flavor, and they probably prefer heavier flavors. But people who come from the old city probably aren't that picky."

There are many delicious foods in this city that are top-notch.

But the ordinary ones are really ordinary. The only real delicacy is roast duck. This is not even presentable.

Therefore, in this environment, if you are not very rich, you are not very picky about food. Just let Zhang Shuisheng arrange it according to the highest standards. Cao Nian is relatively ignorant about these things. She doesn't know what level of restaurant Samadhi Tower is. She only knows that her family's business is pretty good.

"that's it?"

"What else do you want?" Lou Xiao'e rolled her eyes: "Do you know the value of our brand?"

Qin Jingru pulled Cao Wei's hand, and while Lou Xiao'e was still teaching Cao Nian, she tiptoed out.

He held his breath until he got outside. His face turned red, and then he let out a breath: "Go, go, go, run quickly."

He grabbed Cao Wei's hand and ran out.

You are amazing, Qin Xiaozhu...

"Mom, the Queen and Dad ran away." Cao Nian felt a headache listening to Lou Xiao'e's mumbling. He looked at the door and sold Qin Jingru out.

"I'm not blind." Lou Xiao'e said unhappily, "After all these years, these two have only not been together for a few days. Let her recover in a few days."

"Mom, you're awesome."

"What's so great about that! If the man you're looking for has other women in the future, you'd better watch out for yourself!"
