Siheyuan: A Cook in the 60s

Noisy, noisy.

There has to be someone in charge to stop it.

Look, an old man came out.

"Hey, hey, hey, what's going on? What's going on?"

"Uncle, don't worry about this. This is a matter between me and my wife. It has nothing to do with you guys!"

"What about you? What do you say?" The old man looked at Yu Haitang.

As I said, if you are in charge of household affairs, you must obtain the consent of the parties involved.

"There's nothing to hide. Today, I'm putting this on record. Although you, Xu Damao, can't have children, I, Yu Haitang, am fine. Don't delay me! Come with me to get a divorce today, or I'll make you... um... wuwuwuwu!!"

Xu Damao got anxious and covered the other person's mouth with his hand.

"What's going on all these years?" someone in the crowd started a commotion.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not a fool.

After Sha Zhu had two children, he no longer loved Xu Damao. Over the years, he had a wife and children and lived a comfortable life. Xu Damao would occasionally come to provoke him, but he would just say "I don't play with people who don't have sons" or "I don't care about people who don't have sons" to kill him directly. After a long time, Xu Damao no longer liked to look for him.

What else can I do? Is it okay to keep saying "You've been beaten by a monkey"?

At this moment, this guy was baring his teeth and laughing foolishly. He was willing to watch Xu Damao make a fool of himself.

"Hey, hey, hey, why are you still doing it!"

"Divorce, divorce, divorce now!" Xu Damao shouted directly, and the world became quiet.

Yu Haitang also stopped struggling. When Xu Damao let go of her hand, she snorted, "You're smart. Leave now."

"Hey, Third Uncle, what do you think Yu Haitang knows about Xu Damao?" Qin Jingru, a gossip expert, asked the Third Uncle for information.

"What else could it be? There haven't been many things going on in those years. Just pick a few of them and they would be big deals. I've heard that..." The two of them whispered to each other.

Cao Wei had no interest in paying attention to Qin Xiaozhu's gossip.

He carried his things and went home. My goodness, he almost broke his legs today. These three women were more outrageous than the other.

Qin Huairu just returned home and took off her coat.

Jia Zhang came over and asked, "Hey, how is the little girl who came with Banggeng that day?"

"Mom, they are just working partners."

"What work relationship? I think it's good. The girl looks really pretty. Banggeng is not young anymore, it's time for him to get married..."

Qin Huairu was somewhat helpless. Indeed, the old lady was living a pretty good life now. If there was anything else she wanted, it was to see her eldest grandson give birth to another son, so that the Jia family would have an heir. In her words, even if she died, she would have an explanation in the afterlife.

Qin Huairu was not in a hurry about this matter. She felt that she should just take things as they come. If there was a destiny, it would be better than anything else.

The courtyard house is always like this, bustling with people, everyone has their own work to do, and in this day and age, people are willing to visit each other and chat.

After Qin Jingru came back, she went to the third uncle's house to gossip.

It was Lou Xiao'e who followed Cao Wei back to the house.

"What Huairu said is really right. My place is not as humane as this place. It's lively here." Lou Xiao'e couldn't help but sigh.

"People always need a place to chat. Otherwise, if you keep holding it in, you'll end up drowning yourself." Cao Wei poured her a glass of water and asked, "Would you like some tea?"

Lou Xiaoe couldn't help but roll her eyes: "Why are you so stingy? I saw it all. You put a teapot outside. Can't you treat me to some Kung Fu tea?"

"Tsk, you really have sharp eyes. Okay, wait." After saying that, Cao Wei stood up and took out his set of tea set from the inner room.

Seeing his smooth technique, Lou Xiao'e also found it new: "We in the north don't like to drink tea this way. Where did you learn this? And, your tea set is really good stuff."

"Yeah, I managed to get this from my boss."

"Hey, tell me, how much have you dealt with over the years?" Lou Xiao'e nudged Cao Wei with her shoulder and raised her eyebrows.

Cao Wei calmly brewed tea: "There is nothing here, except for the best cooking skills in the world."

"Cao Xiaogou, I find that you never tell the truth. Aunt Yang said that you have saved a lot of people over the years." Lou Xiao'e rolled her eyes.

Cao Wei shook his head and slowly washed the cup with hot water. The water flowed slowly from the tea tray into the bucket used to store waste water. "I don't admit that. I just happened to pass by and picked it up. So I'll take it to the old man on the way. The old man wants to make further progress in medicine."

"What a coincidence." Lou Xiao'e patted him unhappily.

"Hey. Tell me, why are you asking this? With your current status, wouldn't people be vying for you wherever you go?" Cao Wei shrugged.

"That's not necessarily true. Some places don't welcome us."

"It's fine as long as you can come back. Everything will be fine."

"Yes, yes, everything will be fine. I've been holding it in for so many years, and only now can I hear 'everything will be fine' from your mouth. You don't even know how I'm living in Hong Kong." Lou Xiao'e couldn't help complaining.

"How did you spend your days? Eating big lobsters and abalone? And drinking a glass of red wine? And falling asleep after getting tipsy."

"Go." Lou Xiao'e pushed him and said, "How do you know so much?"

"Wow, tsk tsk tsk, it's still capitalism. Look at you, you've gained weight from enjoying yourself."

"Hey, you! I asked the old man, and he said that I missed you too much, so I gained weight. Also, can you please stop saying I'm fat! Where am I fat! Isn't this good?"

"It's really good." Cao Wei gave her a thumbs up: "It's soft when I hold it, and it doesn't hurt when I bump into it."

Lou Xiao'e:......

"Hey, hey, hey, big news, big news." Qin Jingru ran in from outside with her little face flushed.

"What big news? Speak slowly." Lou Xiao'e handed over a cup of tea.

Qin Jingru stopped him: "I don't want it, it's too hot. You don't know, Brother Wei is a bad guy. Last time I rushed back, he gave me a cup, and it was so hot that I stuck out my tongue."

Cao Wei: ...

"You drank too much and it's your fault."

"It's all your fault!" Qin Jingru wrinkled her nose.

"Okay, okay, here, I've prepared it for you." Cao Wei handed over another enamel cup.

Qin Jingru kept mumbling “ton ton ton” which made Cao Wei frown.

"Drink slowly. If the old man sees you, he'll scold you again."

"Oh, why are you like an old man!"
