Siheyuan: A Cook in the 60s

He didn't know what happened either.

But it definitely wasn’t Xu Damao who discovered something.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have this attitude.

"Brother, I'm sorry. I just got carried away." Xu Damao walked over and patted Cao Wei on the shoulder.

Cao Wei smiled and said, "Hey, Brother Damao, this is nothing. What happened between you and your sister-in-law?"

"It's bad luck. You'll know in a minute. By the way, is it okay for me to stay at your place for a while?"

I'm talking to you, why did you come here to apologize to me?

"Hey, it's okay, come on. By the way, Damao, have you had dinner?"

"No...you there..." Xu Damao felt a little embarrassed.

"Oh, I don't have a stove at home. How about I go to your house and make some? Then I can bring it to you and persuade your sister-in-law at the same time. What do you think?"

"Okay." Xu Damao hesitated for a moment and agreed. For the time being, he didn't want to see Lou Xiaoe.

Cao Wei shrugged his shoulders, walked to Xu Damao's house and knocked on the door.

The door opened, and Lou Xiao'e saw that it was Cao Wei. A trace of panic flashed in her eyes. After all, it was she who had just hit the two men with a broom.

Cao Wei showed a kind smile: "Sister-in-law, Brother Damao asked me to come over and cook."

Lou Xiao'e:......

"Come in." His voice was a little soft and a little guilty.

After entering, the door was not closed but left open. In broad daylight, Cao Wei could not do anything else. Although there were not many people in the backyard now.

After entering the kitchen, he started busying himself as usual, looking very familiar with the process.

Lou Xiao'e leaned against the door.

Cao Wei asked while working, "What happened today? Why did you fight? Are you injured?"

"Just him?" Lou Xiao'e curled her lips: "Just a bunch of brute force."

Lou Xiao'e had practiced martial arts before. To be more precise, the second generation of this era all have some kung fu skills. You never know when something might happen. This is also the reason why Lou Xiao'e can fight with Xu Damao. Her strength is not as good as Xu Damao's, but she is stronger.

"I'm glad you're okay. Why did you quarrel again?"

The same issue was also being discussed in other families in the compound.

"That official hat chair, what a pity, it's a good thing!" This belongs to the third uncle's house.

"What's going on in their family?"

"What else could it be? Xu Damao and his wife are fighting again. It's not the first time."

"Then why do we need to hold a general meeting?"

"I don't know. Maybe he's not very smart. Didn't he just blame Cao Wei for holding him back? This is a question a good person would ask. If he didn't hold him back, would he hold Lou Xiao'e with him?"

The entire compound was buzzing with anticipation for the full-court meeting tonight.

Apart from anything else, eating melon is always a pleasure.

Cao Wei prepared the meal, which was actually just rice porridge with pickles, and there was nothing else in the house.

Xu Damao was not picky. He ate without choosy gulps, went home, moved a stool and went to the central courtyard. On the way, he saw Lou Xiao'e, but did not say a word.

Lou Xiao'e didn't care any more. In the past, she would have been bothered by this matter, but now? It didn't matter. She just regarded it as a fun thing.

Dinner went on particularly quickly today. Before half past six, everyone in the central courtyard was already there.

There is an atmosphere of "sitting in a row and eating melons".

In such an enthusiastic atmosphere, three uncles made a brilliant appearance.

The opening remarks were still made by the second uncle.

"Today, this incident was caused by Xu Damao..."

Before the second uncle finished speaking, Sha Zhu said, "Second uncle, you are so ignorant, stop wasting time and tell me what happened to Xu Damao? You can't even beat a woman in a fight, and you have the nerve to call a meeting."

Cao Wei: ...

Silly Zhu, ah Silly Zhu, the way you talk makes it sound as if women are born to be beaten.

Sure enough, all the young girls, young wives and aunts in the yard stared at him.

He thought he was right and was very proud of it.

Sometimes the old man really wants to cover his face. What the hell is this thing he chose?

"Okay, okay, let's get to the point. Don't waste everyone's time talking about irrelevant things."

No no no no... just talking nonsense, we are very free...

This is what almost everyone is thinking.

"Xu Damao, come here, tell me, what happened today?" The old man called Xu Damao's name.

Cao Wei took a stool and sat down next to the third uncle, with a handful of melon seeds in his hand.

By the way, I naturally gave a small handful to the third uncle.

"Hey, you know how to enjoy yourself."

"It's just a coincidence. What happened to them? Do you know anything about it?"

If we were to say who knows the most gossip in this courtyard, it would definitely be Yan Bugui, the "taste-seeker".

This old man is responsible for opening and closing the front yard gate every day. He knows exactly who comes in and who goes out.

"How would I know? All I know is that when Xu Damao came back today, he was very anxious. I greeted him but he ignored me. He is not like that on weekdays. Let's just wait and see." Yan Bugui said while eating melon seeds.

"Dad, give me some." Yan Jiecheng came over.

"Go, go, go. This is given to you by your father for his face. You can go on your own."

Yan Jiecheng:? ? ?

After all, the young Yan Jiecheng was not so shameless and felt a little embarrassed.

Cao Wei didn't keep any of it either, but also grabbed a small handful and gave it to him. After all, melon seeds are more fun to crack together.

The audience was chatting enthusiastically. Xu Damao also stood in the middle of the stage, his eyes slightly red. Lou Xiao'e was beside him, but Lou Xiao'e looked indifferent.

"Okay, then let's start the whole hospital meeting. The female comrades go first. Lou Xiao'e, you go."

"I don't know what happened. He started arguing with me as soon as he came back. A while ago, he was on a business trip. He said that his superiors had assigned him an important task. If I completed it, I would be promoted. He also asked me not to go home or go out to eat. I could only eat at home. Because of this, he even asked Master Cao to bring me food. As a result, I waited for a week and ate leftovers for a week."

"Now, he is blaming me. I couldn't help it, so I quarreled with him, that's it."

"Hmm?"

Lou Xiao'e's revelations attracted everyone's attention.

All of a sudden, everyone's eyes swept back and forth between Cao Wei, Xu Damao and Lou Xiao'e.

Cao Wei was speechless. He quickly raised his hand, stood up, and coughed twice: "I refused at first, but Brother Damao said that this matter was related to his future, so I agreed."

"Xu Damao, aren't you kidding me?" The uncle frowned, "A young man like you is helping your wife deliver food. What do you think?"

"What else do you want to think about? I'm just afraid that some people in our yard have bad intentions!!!" Xu Damao's voice suddenly became much louder.
