Siheyuan: A Cook in the 60s

My name is Cao Wei.

A standard protagonist.

Why do you say that.

Because I am a time traveler.

To be honest, I am not that satisfied with this time travel.

Traveling from the future to the era of frugality.

It is really distressing.

I thought about it for a long time, whether to write this memoir or not.

Write it, for fear of accidents.

If I don’t write it, I’ll feel like something is missing.

Lou Xiao'e and Qin Huairu both wrote it, but they wouldn't let me read it.

Lou Xiao'e said that it should be sealed and opened by future generations so that they can know what a bad person I am.

This woman has never been able to hold it in well. She has been brooding over it all her life. She has loved for a lifetime, but she has also been unwilling to accept it all her life. She creates emotions for me no matter what.

I have to say that all of my most extreme mood swings over the years were caused by this woman.

As for Qin Huairu, she was unwilling to show it to me, saying that she had written it and buried it with her. I didn't like such words, but she left three months after she said this.

Hey……

Write, write, there are some things you can only say to yourself.

My past life.

I am also a chef. If you say I am weak, I am not weaker than others. I consider myself a genius. Although I am an orphan, I have also worked my way up to the position of executive chef. I have also achieved some success in my career. The only regret is that I was stabbed by a woman.

It's a knife, it's a knife.

I will be punished, I know it.

I like falling in love. I like the ups and downs of love. The feeling of dopamine secretion makes me intoxicated. Love is definitely not something that can be accomplished by just going to a hotel. That is just the desire of primitive people.

That kind of behavior is very low-level.

What really fascinates me is the sparks that arise from the interaction of people's thoughts.

But there is one bad thing. Once we go from being strangers to being in a relationship and gradually become familiar with each other, we will enter a dull period. The boredom of this dull period makes me feel uncomfortable.

Therefore, I became a scumbag.

Yes, from the beginning to the end, I clearly understood that I was a scumbag.

And, be mentally prepared for this.

Sooner or later, I will pay the price.

I fantasized a lot.

What if I get old and many people hate me, or I end up living alone.

But I never expected to be stabbed by a woman...

She really did it, and it really hurt.

It’s a pity that the hand, covered in blood, made my heart beat faster.

Then I lived again.

Honestly.

I didn’t want to live that much.

But since we are alive, let’s just live on.

I traveled through time to the 40s, a time before liberation. Sometimes, I couldn’t even figure out whether I had solved the mystery in the womb and awakened my memories of my past life, or if I had really traveled through time.

But that doesn't matter.

My background in this life is much better than my previous life.

He is a serious cook.

I don’t know if it’s because of the principle that something bad will happen to the relatives of time travelers, but my parents in this life died when I was a child.

Sad?

A little bit, but not much.

In my previous life, I heard about the things of this era, so I lived very carefully, fearing that I would make a mistake, and just worked as a cook. At least, that's what I thought.

Besides, even if I wanted to do something, my body wouldn't allow it.

Just doing my work quietly.

At the same time, I was thinking about when it would be officially opened.

After some calculations, I sadly discovered that by the time the economy opens up, I'll be almost 40 years old.

But it's okay, a man is in his prime at 41, if he takes good care of himself, there won't be any problem...

However, things don't always go as planned.

I met Shazhu.

Sha Zhu, whose real name is He Yuzhu, is the male protagonist of "Love in the Courtyard".

For a moment, I was a little confused. I didn't know whether I had traveled back to the past or back to the book. If I had traveled back to the book, then what was the meaning of my existence?

It’s not that I haven’t read novels written in later generations.

Perhaps, I am just a non-existent character? Or, in other words, my past life and this life are both non-existent characters.

At that moment, I was a little excited.

Yes, I'm a little excited.

Does this mean that I can be a little crazy when doing things?

Of course, this thought only lasted for a moment before I suppressed it. I was just a kid, so what if I was crazy? I still needed time to grow up. I still knew the theory of "I think, therefore I am".

Now that I know this, I am not so troubled anymore.

Until, by chance, I came to the Siheyuan.

I never expected it, but I still couldn't avoid it.

Come on, come on. It's just right, you can also take a look at that legendary figure.

The first person I saw was the third uncle.

At that time, the third uncle was not considered an old man, but a skinny middle-aged man with a slightly bent waist. It was said that this was a disease left over from his youth. Later, when he got old, he could not straighten his waist.

The man looked very smart and was wearing a pair of glasses.

The words were quite polite.

I also saw the legendary old man.

You really can't say that this uncle is incompetent. At least, when he arrived at the courtyard, there was nothing wrong with his arrangements.

However, these people are not the ones I want to see.

What I really want to see are the heroines.

When he entered the central courtyard, he saw Qin Huairu.

At first glance, she looked haggard and a little thin, but I understand that. I entered the Siheyuan in 62, just after the famine, and was thin and small. But her eyes were really beautiful. When I saw her eyes, I couldn't help but think of an idiom - charming eyes.

It's that pair of eyes that I want to attack.

Yes, it's that casual.

I was like this in my previous generation. As long as I was attracted to someone, I would take action.

Don’t tell me how people of this era are so conservative. They have been so conservative that the population has been reduced to 1.4 billion and they have achieved “Plan XX”?

As long as we are not discovered, everything is fine.

As for the characters in the play, their personality traits are still extremely useful for reference, so can't we use them to our advantage?

A plan gradually took shape in my mind.

When I arrived at the backyard, I saw Lou Xiao'e again.

She is much more beautiful than in the drama, with a standard oval face, and is one of those fresh and elegant beauties.

Also, she looked at me in a strange way, and I felt that there was something wrong with her.

Then, I also planned to take action.

Yes, still so sloppy.

If you have nothing to do, you should find something to do.

That’s what I planned. I’m not a good person. I’ve always thought so.

And things went pretty smoothly, just as I expected.

What is the first element of falling in love?

It’s not about how much you love her or like her. The first element in a relationship is similar to that in a war: intelligence.
