Siheyuan: A Cook in the 60s

After being ravaged, Qin·Pipizhu·Jingru became Qin·Laoshibajiao·Jingru.

"Tell me, what's new?" Cao Wei looked at her pitiful appearance and asked about what happened today.

Sure enough, when asked this, Qin Jingru's face became very interesting again, and she was very excited.

"The second uncle's two sons ran away!"

"Run away? Haven't you been back for a long time? Why did you run away again?" Cao Wei was a little surprised.

After the 76 earthquake, some earthquake shelters were built in the courtyards. Later, some people found some bricks and built a room. Some of them were more than to square meters. There were not many backyards, so only the second uncle's family had one. After all, most of the houses in the backyard were in the hands of Cao Wei. In addition to Xu Damao and the second uncle, there was also Aunt Liu in the corner.

Xu Damao's house is big enough, there is no need to make any changes.

Aunt Liu is old, and her children don’t live here, nor do they want to make a fuss about it.

The second uncle, who was old but strong, built two houses. It would have been fine if he hadn't built one, but now he has welcomed back the two sons who claimed to cut off their relationship with him.

Everyone has their own reasons.

Liu Guangtian, like Xu Damao, also did some immoral things and was promoted. Now, he was purged and is nothing.

Liu Guangfu was not doing well after marrying into the old man's family. When he saw that the old man had two extra houses, he thought it was a good fit and followed him back.

This time, the second uncle's house became lively.

Although the second uncle disliked them, he still felt a little proud when the two children were around.

The family settled down there after a lot of noise.

But I never expected that the two sons, who were living well together, would pack up their belongings and run away overnight.

"What new business have they found out?"

"Who knows?" Qin Jingru shrugged. "I heard that Second Auntie almost fainted, and it was Qi Su who sent her to the hospital."

"Qi Su is kind-hearted."

"That's not true. To be honest, Qi Su is a really good person."

In fact, nowadays, the Siheyuan has begun to become a little fragmented.

The old-fashioned ones are mainly composed of uncles. They believe that as long as they live in this courtyard, they can be fine on weekdays, but if something really happens, they will lend a hand. No matter if there is a grudge or not, at least they will help to get through the difficulties. For example, in the original play, Qin Huairu sent the second aunt to the hospital after hearing that she was in trouble, and she paid for it and helped.

Finally, it’s hard to ask for money.

The other faction, headed by Liu Guangtian, only cares about themselves. As for the neighbors, if they come to him for good things, he will take care of them, but if they want money, just don't ask him, he won't care.

Regardless of whether it is Liu Guangtian, Liu Guangfu, or Yan Jiecheng, they are all in this category.

In a word, as the times change, people's hearts are also changing quietly.

Yu Haitang packed up her things and no longer had a stern look on her face. She held up the divorce papers and smiled happily.

"Have you found the next buyer?" Xu Damao couldn't help but sarcastically said.

Yu Haitang felt a little guilty, but she quickly came to her senses. They were already divorced, so what was there to be afraid of? She said arrogantly, "Xu Damao, no matter what, you are husband and wife. You should go and see the doctor honestly, so as to avoid being extinct."

"Yu Haitang, I'm telling you, you can only show off for a while. You're already this old, and you're still going to give birth to a child. I want to see what good you can get out of it!"

"It's none of your business!" Yu Haitang treated Xu Damao's roar as a weakling's. She raised her head proudly, turned around and left.

Xu Damao looked at the empty room, slowly sat down, and sat there quietly.

After a long time, a sound of "Hey" echoed in the empty house.

He stood up and looked around the room.

I walked out of the shadows and just as I walked out of the house, I saw that the street lights outside had been turned on.

There is not even any sunshine.

He muttered something and walked towards Cao Wei's room.

Just as he raised his hand, Cao Wei came out. He had to fix the stove. When he came back today, he found that there was something wrong with it.

When I opened the door, I saw Xu Damao raising his hand.

The two of them stared at each other, feeling a little awkward.

"Xu Damao, what's the matter?"

Xu Damao didn't think there was anything wrong between Lou Xiao'e and Cao Wei. After all, before Lou Xiao'e left, she and Qin Jingru were as close as sisters, and he hadn't seen Cao Nian. Neighbors are neighbors, and sometimes it's normal not to see each other for several days. What's more, he often went to the countryside to show movies.

"I heard from people that you are willing to buy the house here. Do you like my house?" Xu Damao didn't want to waste time talking to Cao Wei, so he went straight to the point.

Cao Wei was silent for a while, then nodded: "Name your price."

"500, about that. I don't want anything else at home. I'll just take the TV."

"Okay, tomorrow, let's go transfer the property. I'll go get the money while I'm at it."

"Okay, it's settled."

After a few words, the matter was settled. Xu Damao didn't want to communicate with Cao Wei anymore, so he waved his hand and returned to his house.

He took out a bottle of wine from his closet, but there was no snack to go with it. He put the wine on the table and poured a glass. The moonlight came through the door and sprinkled on the floor of the house. His face was looming in the faint moonlight. He didn't say anything, but just stared at the floor in a daze. He picked up a small glass of wine, took a sip, and his facial features wrinkled into a ball.

He doesn't like drinking, he doesn't like the taste.

Spicy and tangy, he actually prefers sweet food, but few people know it.

The older you get, the more you know.

He remembered many things.

He remembered the section chief from his youth who had tricked him into taking out Lou Xiao'e's dowry again and again.

He also recalled that many, many years ago, when he and Lou Xiao'e had just married, Lou Xiao'e whispered to him...

Tell him what?

He slapped his head in annoyance; he couldn't remember.

Yes, he couldn't remember.

He only remembered that Lou Xiao'e had given him advice many times, but he rejected all of them. It was not until today, when he saw Lou Xiao'e, that he had some distant memories.

But what did Lou Xiao'e say?

He forgot.

"Yeah, how could I remember?" He chuckled and poured himself another glass of wine.

Yes, how long can something exist if you never listen to it carefully?

One cup, one cup, and another.

The first cup is like a signal, once you start, you can’t stop.

It was not until a soft "dong" sound was heard in the house that everything returned to complete silence.
