Siheyuan: A Cook in the 60s

Since Lou Xiao'e married into this courtyard, she can basically be described in one word: "out of place."

The education she received since childhood was not simple. No matter whether it was in a school or a private one-on-one education, it was not as appropriate. Children from wealthy families, especially those from wealthy families during wartime, were taught things that were more inclined to the human heart.

She doesn't like Xu Damao.

In her opinion, his moves were too old-fashioned.

Taking a girl to the movies, shopping, and buying things, as well as the slightly greasy but depthless love talks, all made her feel helpless.

But she had no choice but to get married due to circumstances. She was confident that she could run the family well, but she suffered a heavy blow the day after she got married.

The next day after her wedding night, the auntie in the yard actually started asking her about the details of what happened last night.

This directly destroyed her three views.

It was from that time that she realized that there seemed to be an invisible wall between her and them. That would have been fine, she tried hard to integrate into this small society, but she couldn't do it anyway. Gradually, she began to feel numb and bored. There is a saying that goes "Once you have seen the sea, you will never be satisfied with the water again."

I used to dislike the annoyance of the intrigues and scheming in the circle.

Now that she has left the circle, she is surrounded by topics such as food, clothing, housing and transportation, which she is completely unable to fit in with, and she feels lonely again.

This loneliness reached its peak after Xu Damao cheated on his wife.

As a well-educated woman, she only needs to take a quick look at Xu Damao to understand what he is thinking. At most, she can just ask him a few more words and everything will be clear.

Let her cheat, she doesn't care.

The key point is that he told everyone that she couldn't have children.

This was something she couldn't stand.

She wanted to take revenge, so she went back home and told her father what happened.

The answer from my family was “Just bear with it.”

She suddenly realized that she seemed to have no other options and could only get angry.

I wanted to have fun, but I couldn't find any. I wanted to find someone to chat with, but I couldn't find any. I wanted to find someone with whom I had common topics, but I couldn't find any.

Under the oppression of the general environment, one is unable to break free from this cage.

Until today, she smelled a similar scent.

Cao Wei's smile, a smile that was obviously trained countless times, made her happy. How could she not be happy! There was one more person to chat with! Her heart was already jumping for joy, but on the surface, she still looked as steady as a rock. Just right, just right, this was something she learned when she started learning etiquette.

However, this set of things has not been used for many years and has become a little rusty, which seems to have made Cao Wei see something.

But that's not important! What's important is that her gray life has a touch of bright color.

This feeling of having been suppressed for such a long time and suddenly finding colors is naturally extremely refreshing.

However, Cao Wei didn't know why Lou Xiao'e's mood swings were so drastic. He just thought this woman was weird. Just going there for a chat? That was outrageous.

The whole institute meeting was not so crowded.

The middle courtyard is the largest open space in the whole courtyard. In the center of the courtyard, there is a tree whose name I cannot tell. Everyone gathered in the courtyard, fanning themselves with fans and chatting with neighbors.

Cao Wei glanced at the people in the courtyard.

Familiar strangers came into view one by one.

Yi Zhonghai, the Moral God

Liu Haizhong loves to speak in an official tone

Taste the salty and sweet taste of Yanbugui

He Yuzhu, the King of Dog Licking

……

……

A series of characters from the courtyard gathered in the courtyard, which is quite novel to some extent.

Not only was he observing others, but others were also observing him.

Tall, strong and handsome guys are rare in this era. A height of 1.85 meters with a sturdy build will attract a lot of attention in this era where everyone is skinny.

"Ahem." The second uncle coughed twice: "Everyone, everyone!"

He started out extremely cultured, and then he stopped.

"An uncle has something to announce, everyone welcome!"

"Clap, clap, clap, clap..." There was bustling applause from the audience.

The first uncle looked at the second uncle helplessly. It was his request that he should make the opening remarks every time. But the old man was ignorant and just wanted everyone to applaud. What could he do? He was his own second uncle and he had to spoil him.

"Okay, let's stop talking nonsense. There's nothing big about this meeting today. It's just that a neighbor has come to our yard. Come on, Cao Wei, come up and introduce yourself. Let's get to know each other. You're also from our steel mill. You'll start work tomorrow." After the eldest uncle's introduction, the applause from the audience became louder. In this yard, except for the third uncle's family, all the others were from the steel mill.

They are neighbors and work in the same factory, so they are naturally close.

Cao Wei walked up and introduced himself with great energy: "Hello, everyone. My name is Cao Wei. I am 20 years old. I used to work in Fengze Garden as a cook."

"Cook? Nice cook."

"No wonder he's so tall."

"We have two chefs now. That's good, very good." This was said by Yan Bugui.

"The chef is too modest. Comrade Cao Wei was recruited personally by Director Li from the Logistics Department. From now on, everyone will have a treat when they go to the cafeteria." The old man raised Cao Wei's hand happily.

[Positive emotions +30]

[Negative emotions +100]

Cao Wei glanced at the indignant Sha Zhu and said nothing.

"Hey? A meeting?" At this time, a slightly sharp voice sounded.

Xu Damao is back.

"Da Mao, you came at the right time. We have a new cook in our courtyard."

"Chef? Hello, chef! Sha Zhu, don't you always brag about your cooking skills? What? Now that a real chef is here, you don't yell at him?!" Xu Damao immediately raised his eyebrows and went towards Sha Zhu.

Hey guys, I just got here and you guys are already fighting?

The negative emotion of the first hundred must be from a fool, and the praise from the uncle is not in vain.

The purpose is to cause dissatisfaction among Sha Zhu.

Cao Wei knew Sha Zhu, not from the TV series, but from Fengze Garden. Before, when Sha Zhu's father was still alive, Sha Zhu worked as an assistant in Fengze Garden. Although they were not in the same group, they were still able to talk. Later, when Sha Zhu's father passed away, Sha Zhu also left. I don't know what happened, but he cut off all contact with everyone in Fengze Garden, and over time, they had no contact at all. Among them, Cao Wei understood Sha Zhu's thoughts.
