Siheyuan: A Cook in the 60s

The three adults and one child chatted for a while.

The two sisters were whispering to each other.

Cao Wei was talking to Xiao Dang in childish words.

"When will Aunt Jingru give birth to a little brother?"

"It doesn't have to be a little brother."

"But, wouldn't you be disliked if I wasn't your little brother?"

"No, I just like girls."

"Really?" Xiaodang looked at Cao Wei with bright eyes.

"Yeah. It's good that Xiao Dang is so cute."

In the drama, Xiaodang's image is not very good, but when he was a cub, he was still very cute and smart. He was just a little bit inferior, but this inferiority complex gradually disappeared after Qin Huairu became a formal employee. Although Jia Zhang in the family is partial to them, she will not beat or scold them for no reason. Now their life is very good.

Xiaodang felt that Cao Wei was a lucky person. After he came, her luck improved.

So, she liked talking to Cao Wei very much.

After a while, Zhao Lei finished drawing the blueprint.

Several people gathered over to take a look.

Qin Huairu and Xiaodang looked at the drawings drawn by Zhao Lei with curiosity.

Cao Wei couldn't help but sigh that Zhao Lei was really talented. It was a simple pencil drawing, but he managed to draw exactly what he imagined. This skill was simply amazing.

When I heard Cao Wei say "the bed in the master bedroom should be bigger".

Qin Jingru nodded in agreement.

This bed can't be too big! Sometimes four people have to sleep on it.

Some changes were made in the details.

Cao Wei felt that there was no problem.

Only then did Zhao Lei talk to Cao Wei about the payment.

"Do you want to provide both the materials and the labor, or just the labor?"

"It's all labor and materials."

"Do you have tickets?" Zhao Lei confirmed again.

"No." Cao Wei shook his head.

"That's fine." Zhao Lei quickly wrote a number on the paper: "Your house already has floor tiles, so you can save a lot. Building a new toilet, with all the miscellaneous stuff, will cost about 86.5 yuan. I'll give you a discount, 85 yuan."

"Okay, that's the price then." Cao Wei agreed.

Other things are not difficult to get, but the bills for building materials are hard to get. They are in short supply all over the country. Zhao Lei can get them, which shows his ability. The money still needs to be paid.

"I'll give you half first, and then 30% when you're almost done, and the rest after you're done, okay?"

"to make."

"Then wait a moment."

Cao Wei has a lot of things to do. Before we start work, we have to inform the street office and talk to the uncles in the yard. Don't disturb the neighbors.

Qin Jingru looked at the drawing in her hand with great interest and asked Zhao Lei: "Master, can I take this paper with me?"

"Okay, you can take it. I remember it. Oh, by the way, boss, do you need some more furniture for your family? I know someone who..."

Cao Wei: ...

Wow, you brokers are quite consistent, right?

Cao Wei became increasingly busy. To be honest, Qin Jingru's due date was January of the 64th year, so there was still a long time to prepare. But for some reason, Cao Wei always hoped that time would pass quickly, but at the same time, he also wanted time to come slowly.

The days passed slowly amidst such complex emotions.

During this period, Lou Xiao'e would visit Qin Jingru from time to time to have fun.

The Jia family also had several quarrels, each of which started inexplicably and ended in reconciliation. Jia Zhang's voice became weaker and weaker, giving Cao Wei an inexplicable sense of déjà vu that the ruler was weak and the ministers were strong.

Sha Zhu's wife also got pregnant in the summer of 63, which made Sha Zhu so happy that he ran around the courtyard. Of course, the focus of this show-off was still Xu Damao.

Xu Damao was so angry that his teeth were itching. From then on, he went out more and more frequently.

Lou Xiao'e became more and more courageous. She did not enter the bridal chamber. As long as Xu Damao was not around, she would stick to Cao Wei and sleep every night. This made Qin Jingru so angry that her eyes turned green. It was not until Lou Xiao'e took out a gem that was as big and as green as her eyes that Qin Jingru's mood calmed down.

This made Cao Wei feel a little guilty.

I always feel like the whole family is bullying a love-brained kid.

Hey……

"Why are you sighing?!" Lou Xiao'e drew circles on Cao Wei's body.

Outside the house, snowflakes were falling lightly.

The door was opened.

Qin Huairu walked in angrily, and rolled her eyes when she saw Cao Wei and Lou Xiaoe.

"Is there anything to eat?"

"There's no hot food, but there's some dried meat in the cabinet. I just brought it today and was planning to give it to Xiaodang..."

"Don't give it to her, she's already become so fat because of you! Mom is asking me if I'm secretly cooking for her!" Qin Huairu angrily took out the dried meat from the cupboard and took two big bites. As she tore it viciously, her conscience also rose and fell.

"Oh, kid, it's okay to be a little fat." Cao Wei said happily.

"Just talk, don't put your hands around." Qin Huairu slapped away the hand that was climbing up to her conscience, and suddenly realized that the feeling was not right. She turned around and saw Lou Xiaoe with a smile on her face.

Qin Huairu:......

"Can you please learn something good? Jingru has learned bad things from you."

"Are you feeling unwell?" Lou Xiao'e blinked.

Qin Huairu:......

Well, it's quite comfortable.

"Hey, hey, hey, don't treat me like a dead person." Cao Wei was speechless. He always felt that Lou Xiao'e wanted to cheat on him.

"Who told you to keep talking about children, children, when you clearly know I don't have any. I can't get a word in, so I have to do something else. Now, don't eat. Eat after I'm done."

He didn't let Qin Huairu finish eating the dried meat and dragged her to the bed.

Qin Huairu didn't care about that and continued to complain: "What's wrong with my mom recently? She's always picking fights for no reason. Isn't it getting worse day by day... Hey, hey, hey, hey, that's not right, Lou Xiaoe!!!"

Cao Wei and Lou Xiao'e looked at each other.

He nodded silently.

At this moment, Qin Huairu realized that something was wrong.

No, I have to run.

However, with her strength alone, she could not escape the clutches of Cao Wei.

The bright moonlight shone down, covering her skin with a light pink.

His face turned terribly red and he covered his mouth tightly with his hands to prevent himself from shouting.

I don’t know how much time passed.

She sat at the table and ate dried meat as if nothing had happened. This time, she was really hungry.

I didn’t eat much because of the quarrel, and now I feel even more tired.

"I find that you two are really shameless, ugh!"

"Look, look, she scolds the cook after dinner." Lou Xiao'e laughed. Although she said no, her body was very honest.

"By the way, when is Jingru going to give birth? I see her belly is quite big, you have to be careful. Don't be too anxious when the time comes."
