Siheyuan: A Cook in the 60s

"You are so successful!"

"Hehe, go give Nian Nian a call."

"I want to take you, Brother Wei, away."

"no!"

In the end, Cao Wei did not interfere in Cao Nian's garment factory.

Or rather, he is now entangled in something.

"I say, you're already a senior official now, why are you still doing the same thing as before?" Cao Wei looked at Jing Yu speechlessly.

"Don't all officials, big or small, serve the people? What's wrong with that?"

"I'm not saying anything, you asked me to help improve the taste, and I did. Now, the convenience foods and canned products are gradually being put on the shelves, and the market has been opened up. As for foreign exchange, I won't keep any of it, what else do you want?" The Cao Wei people were confused: "You can't just grab a sheep and do it, what if it becomes bald?"

"Don't make a fuss. This matter is quite important. What the higher-ups mean is that you will be in charge of this project."

"No, how come I am now responsible?" Cao Wei went from being calm to being horrified.

My goodness, once this project is stopped, it will take a long time to deal with it, and he doesn’t want to go through all that trouble.

"Hey, the leader said, no matter what, you are also our own comrade, the burden on your shoulders should be increased, and the leaders will not forget your hard work..."

"Stop, stop, stop, let me do it."

Cao Wei had figured it out. Jing Yu came here today just to pass on a message. As for the rest, he really had no say in the matter.

"I'll send you the specific content later. Don't worry, I'm not asking you to do anything too troublesome. You just need to put more of your energy in these years into this."

"Okay, okay, okay, just get out of here. You're always in a bad mood every time you come over."

Cao Wei chased people away like flies.

----

Time is like a fleeting moment.

Cao Wei spent the following days busy with farm work.

Lou Xiao'e was helping Cao Nian deal with matters concerning the clothing brand, and Qin Jingru would occasionally go over to help out. After all, this brand, and this business, were also something she had accumulated.

Qin Huairu is still the same as before, staying rooted in the old city and rarely going out.

Unless Cao Wei asked her to go out for a walk, she would rather stay at home most of the time.

Jia Zhang was also considered to be long-lived. The old men and women in the yard were all walking around, but she was still in good health every day.

More than ten years have passed in a flash.

Cao Wei stood in front of the gate of the courtyard and sighed.

"I should have known better than to continue living. It's so troublesome."

He is now quite old, with some white hair on his temples. He opens the door.

I saw the third uncle lying in the middle of the front yard, fanning himself with a palm-leaf fan. He was lying on a recliner, with a small table next to him. On the small table, there was a pot of hot tea. Next to the teapot, there was a box of cut watermelons, covered with a lunch box.

The third uncle was waving a palm-leaf fan and humming a little tune.

As if he noticed something, he opened his eyes.

Happy.

He waved to Cao Wei.

Cao Wei walked over and said, "Uncle, you are living a comfortable life these days."

"Of course not." The third uncle said proudly: "I eat and drink every day, and my heart is at ease. I put everything aside. I am different from Lao Yi..."

At this point, the third uncle paused, sighed, and waved his hand: "Don't talk about that, don't talk about that. What about you, are you done with your work, or are you back for an intermittent period?"

"I'm done now, it's time to hand over the work. From now on, I have nothing to do."

"That's good, that's good." The third uncle exhaled lightly: "Come to think of it, the old man is so relaxed because of your persuasion."

The third uncle felt a little emotional.

Yan Jiecheng also wanted to expand like Cao Wei did.

Later, the third uncle brought Yan Jiecheng to Cao Wei for advice.

At the beginning, the couple was still thinking about expansion. The third uncle didn't say anything else, just one sentence: Can you trust others?

After hearing this, both of them were speechless.

The couple is not much different from the original. They are okay with the third uncle, but it is impossible for them to be generous to outsiders. They are very calculating and clear about every little thing. If someone else were to run the store, they would be so uncomfortable that they would not be able to sleep all night.

Later, the two stopped bothering and simply closed the third and fourth stores, concentrating on running their own two stores. As for the money they earned, they bought some buildings in the new buildings that opened in recent years. They rented them out, and added a little bit of interest and rent. They lived a comfortable life.

Since joining WT0, the price of houses has started to increase gradually, and our lives are getting better and better.

"Where's Yan Jiecheng? He's already quite old now, right? Is he still busy in the store? Does your son not want to take over his store?"

"Hey, the couple are worried. If you ask me, they should let the younger one experience it on his own. They want to break it into pieces and feed it to the child, but the child will not listen." The third uncle shook his head. Just like your Le Yao, isn't she able to stand on her own now?

"That's right." Cao Wei smiled.

After Cao Wei accepted the mission, he basically left the Samadhi Tower to Cao Leyao, with Qin Jingru helping him. Although there were some bumps in the road over the years, they managed to survive. It is worth mentioning that in the second year after Cao Leyao got married, she gave birth to twins, both sons, which made the Qin family very happy.

Hearing footsteps behind him, Cao Wei stood up and turned around to look.

What a coincidence.

Lou Xiao'e walked in.

When he saw Cao Wei, he was obviously stunned for a moment: "Are you on vacation?"

These past ten years have been just like what the Third Uncle said.

The three women of Cao Wei each had their own destination.

Lou Xiao'e followed Cao Nian and helped her with the Xiangjiang brand. Qin Jingru followed Cao Leyao and helped her look after the entire Samadhi Building. Qin Huairu stayed at home and was responsible for the logistics of the whole family.

The things Cao Wei did were rather complicated, and he was sometimes too busy to go home.

The women all understood that some things had to be done by someone.

"No, it's done." Cao Wei chuckled, "Now that I'm back this time, I don't have to go again."

"Is this true?" Lou Xiao'e smoothed her hair and saw a hint of white hair out of the corner of her eye. She was slightly stunned for a moment: "I have white hair now."

"Ahem..." The third uncle coughed twice: "Well, there are two moon gates in the backyard."

Cao Wei was amused, but the old man was quite shy.

"Go back, go back. It's embarrassing to be seen by the third uncle." Lou Xiao'e also joked.

"The old man didn't see anything."
