Siheyuan: A Cook in the 60s

Wei Wei has achieved some success in the past few months.

Before Cao Wei came, the Third Canteen had not made much progress. He once doubted whether he would be replaced.

After all, replacing people when they don't do a good job is a reasonable reason no matter what era it is.

Fortunately, Cao Wei came.

The stall of the third canteen was set up.

In this era, there are actually not so many twists and turns. You go to whichever canteen tastes good, but whether it is good enough to make workers go a long way to line up to eat there is another matter.

Anyway, Wei Wei made a count and found that there are at least three thousand workers who come to the three canteens to eat every day.

For this alone, he can say that he has done a great job.

For this reason, Director Yang even had a special talk with him.

Director Yang didn't know that it was impossible to have a small canteen in the factory to entertain people.

But Director Yang's status and Cao Wei's status made it unlikely that he would specifically go to Cao Wei and ask him to help him cook. On the one hand, Cao Wei was Li Huaide's man, and Li Huaide had bad intentions when he came in. After the steel mill expanded, it should be a foregone conclusion that he would become the deputy director. He didn't know what would happen then.

The second one was a cook. It would be a bit embarrassing for him to go there in person. Besides, he had a chef. The food cooked by Sha Zhu was pretty good. He couldn't offend his own people because of a cook.

Therefore, the person to talk to can only be Wei Wei.

Wei Wei is also a shrewd man. He blocked Director Yang's implicit words about not being extravagant and not wasting.

He is now considered Li Huaide's man, and playing both sides is always a taboo.

Do you think Director Yang has a solution? Actually, there is no good solution. After all, Wei Wei is doing a good job as the canteen director and has achieved some results. If you dare to mess with him today, he will dare to slam the table at you tomorrow.

After accepting the task, Cao Wei was planning to go back.

"Master Cao." Qin Huairu walked over.

Cao Wei paused and turned around. He still saw those charming eyes. Qin Huairu's body became more plump and rounder. After several months of careful feeding by Cao Wei, she finally lost her skinny appearance. She also became more energetic. She always complained to Cao Wei that she had to cover her rosy face a little every time she went out.

After all, these days, being covered in dirt is the norm.

Wei Wei just stood beside Cao Wei smoking and had no intention of leaving.

Qin Huairu lifted her hair and said, "Master Cao, there is news about what I told you last time. My cousin will come up from the countryside this week. Do you think you are free this weekend?"

"Yes, that's great. Thank you for your help, Comrade Qin Huairu."

"We're all neighbors, so you're welcome. I just came here to tell you about this. If there's nothing else, I'll leave first."

"Hey, wait a moment." Cao Wei took out nothing from his pocket, just two candies, and put them in Qin Huairu's hand: "I don't have much to thank you for right now, so when the time comes, you and your cousin come together, and I'll treat you to a good meal."

Qin Huairu looked at the two pieces of candy in her hand and her face turned slightly red.

He responded and left in a hurry.

"What? You still need someone to introduce you to a wife? Tell me and I'll find you a good one. Why do you need to find one from the countryside?" Wei Wei said in surprise, and patted Cao Wei's shoulder earnestly, "There's no food in the countryside."

This is to treat Cao Wei as one's own people.

"Hey, I've thought about this." Cao Wei lit up a cigarette for himself. "You know the situation in my family. I'm the only one left. I'm thinking, if I find someone who has a job, it would be good for both of us to work, but what if we have children in the future?" He paused, seeing that Wei Wei wanted to persuade him with something else. "I know there is a nursery in the factory, but I'm worried. I'm the only child in our family."

"After much thought, I think that with my ability, it won't be a problem to support a large family. I just want to find a place in the countryside."

In fact, Cao Wei had no plans to find a woman, or in other words, he had no plans to get married in the short term.

He had never been married in his previous life, but in this life, it seemed that he had to get married.

He couldn't be an outlier, and when Qin Huairu was hesitant and paid a huge price to tell him about this, he thought of someone, that was Qin Jingru.

What can I say about Qin Jingru?

You can say she is stupid, or you can say she is smart, and she is determined to marry into the city.

But you cannot deny that this girl is really obedient. She is the type who can help pass the fire starter from behind while you set the fire in front.

Perhaps, getting married may not be a bad idea.

So he agreed.

Of course, I can't tell the truth, I have to find an excuse.

This excuse is also reasonable. Nowadays, what matters is the future generations, so there is nothing wrong with what he said.

"Tsk, that makes sense. My son was taken care of by my mother in the beginning. To be honest, I am still a little worried about leaving him in the factory." Wei Wei nodded in agreement: "If you think it through, I won't persuade you. When the time comes, you must treat me to a good meal."

"Don't worry, you won't have to come when the time comes."

Wei Wei patted Cao Wei on the shoulder and then left.

Li Huaide was in a very good mood at this moment. He had carefully prepared for several months and finally managed everything in the steel mill. It just so happened that a leader from above came today and he could take a look at his achievements. The most important thing was that Director Yang didn't know about this. This leader was on a secret visit and didn't bring many people with him. There was only a secretary and himself.

He was well-informed and asked Wei Wei to prepare first.

Opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared.

He was not in a hurry to go out to greet them. He had to wait until the right time to avoid being discovered by his boss that he had come out specially. That would be a problem.

And when he was about to go out to work with great enthusiasm.

Director Yang appeared in front of him.

"Director Yang, good afternoon. Is there anything you need here? Why bother making a trip yourself? Just let Secretary Wang talk to me." Li Huaide calmly smiled in line with social expectations.

Director Yang didn't say anything, just stared at Li Huaide.

Seeing him like this, Li Huaide didn't say anything, but smiled and waited for his next words, just like a loyal subordinate.

"Li Huaide." After a moment of silence, Director Yang finally spoke: "I know you know that the leader will come to the steel mill this afternoon."
