Siheyuan: A Cook in the 60s

"Second uncle!!! Cao Wei hit me!!!"

Qin Jingru, with tears in her eyes, went out to complain.

"What?!! Beating people! Hold a meeting! We must hold a meeting!!!" The second uncle's roar came as expected.

The whole courtyard became lively again.

All that’s left is the beating of drums and gongs.

Most people in this yard know the inside story.

Look, everyone is here to watch the second uncle show off his power.

The second uncle first placed the enamel cup in his hand heavily on the table.

Then came the familiar opening remarks.

"Today, we have a meeting to discuss two things." The second uncle raised two fingers.

"First of all, let me emphasize again that I am the first uncle, not the second uncle. In this hospital, there is only one first uncle. I hope you will take this matter to heart."

Everyone:...

Okay, the first thing I said was some nonsense.

He has been called "Second Uncle" for so many years, and it is not easy to change his name.

"As for the second thing, Cao Wei! What's wrong with you? How can you hit your own wife?!"

Everyone's eyes fell on Cao Wei.

Logically speaking, this kind of thing shouldn't be discussed in a whole-school meeting.

In fact, in this era, there are too many fights, and most of them are settled privately by the family. Unless the fight is very serious, the elders in the courtyard will not ask about it. Even if they do ask about it, most of the time they just appease each other and let it go.

But it’s different for the second uncle. He has to hold a meeting for the entire hospital.

Cao Wei was sure that the second uncle would do this, so he formulated this script.

Cao Wei stood up, and his strong body was somewhat oppressive.

He looked around first, then said, "This matter is really not my fault. Everyone knows that two years ago, my family bought a radio."

"Hey, Lao Cao, are you showing off here?"

"Three turns and one ring", "three turns and one ring", in fact, few families can own all four of them. But if you have one of them, it is enough to be envied.

Cao Wei, who had a radio, became a celebrity at the time.

"What's so great about this? Who can't afford a house like ours?"

"I don't like to hear that. Many people can't afford it." Someone started to make a fuss.

"Yes, yes, yes." Cao Wei interrupted the booing: "This has nothing to do with the topic of the meeting. Let's continue what we were saying."

Hearing Cao Wei say this, everyone quieted down.

"I bought that radio at that time just to have something to look forward to. At least, I could know something about the national affairs and follow the pace..."

"Hey, hey, hey, hey." Sha Zhu acted as a supporting actor: "I say, Lao Cao, you told others to stop talking nonsense, but you are going too far. What does this have to do with you beating Qin Jingru?"

"Why are you in such a hurry? Didn't I say that?" Cao Wei glared at Sha Zhu. "Where were we just now? Oh, right, follow the pace. I was thinking, if I just listen to the radio every day, it will also improve my self-awareness. But it turns out that Qin Jingru, hey, everyone, Comrade Qin Jingru, when you listen to the radio every day, just turn the volume down!"

"They said they were doing this to save electricity. Tell me, tell me, who can hear the buzzing of mosquitoes? Well, I have to train myself to have super hearing just to hear a noise?! So we had an argument, and I hit her on impulse."

Originally Yan Bugui was grinning.

But the more I listened, the more something seemed wrong.

The more I listen, the more outrageous it seems.

After hearing the end, the only thing in his mind was "Plagiarism!! He plagiarized!!!"

The entire central courtyard fell into an eerie silence. Everyone's eyes were not on Cao Wei, nor on Qin Jingru. Instead, they all looked at the Third Uncle.

Yan Bugui couldn't hold it anymore.

"What are you looking at? It's not like I'm beating my wife."

“Pfft…” As soon as these words came out, Sha Zhu was the first one who couldn’t help laughing.

Then, laughter like a tide rose up from all around.

The second uncle was a little confused by his laughter.

This……

Anything funny?

Am I not keeping up with the times?

"What are you laughing at? What are you laughing at? We're in a meeting, be serious!" The second uncle knocked hard on the table with his enamel cup.

"Cao Wei!"

"exist!"

"You, apologize to Qin Jingru!"

"Why?!" Cao Wei cried out in injustice: "It was obviously her fault, do I need that little money?"

"Why? You hit someone, so you were wrong!" The second uncle said righteously: "Apologize to Qin Jingru and the matter will be over. Otherwise, I will ask the security department to arrest you."

Cao Wei "reluctantly" walked towards Qin Jingru: "Jingru, I'm sorry."

"Hmph!" Qin Jingru turned her face away from Cao Wei, but her uncontrollable smile made Cao Wei know that she was about to fail.

She failed, but Cao Wei couldn't fail.

"Second uncle, look at her!"

"Alright, alright, that's it." The second uncle waved his hands impatiently. On the surface, he looked impatient, but in fact, he was very happy to have subdued Cao Wei, plus the whispers of the neighbors around him.

In other words, this person should not be too idle.

The second uncle left.

Everyone in the courtyard went back to their homes and looked for their mothers.

Cao Wei Family

Qin Huairu laughed so hard that tears came out, and patted Cao Wei on the shoulder: "You are so mean, didn't you see that Third Master's eyebrows are almost glued together."

Qin Huairu knew Cao Wei's plan, but didn't know the details.

She only knew that Cao Wei was planning to stage a scene to beat Qin Jingru, but she didn't know the specific content. Who knew Cao Wei would use such an excuse?

You know what, with this excuse, the comedic effect was achieved, the second uncle was satisfied, and the whole hospital was happy.

The final result is that the world is completed with only the third uncle injured.

Qin Jingru was beaming with joy at the side: "Well, well, my performance was good."

"Okay, okay, I'll give you a kiss as a reward." Cao Wei kissed her.

"Another one." Qin Jingru stretched out her other cheek.

Qin Huairu:......

"Hey? Sister? Why did you hit me?!"

"My hands are itching."

Third uncle's house

The third uncle was so angry that he slapped his thigh.

"Tell me, tell me! How could he have copied my idea?!"

He regrets it!

It's not for anything else, it's just for the effect of this show, it's so good, maybe Cao Wei will be the champion this year.

Now, if Cao Wei took his idea and won the championship, then he would be in big trouble!

"Dad, that's not your idea, that's just how you usually are..."

Who doesn't know that Yan Laokou usually listens to the radio at home, using the radio's external speaker as headphones?

They are so young that they can only hear the buzzing of mosquitoes and nothing else.

What happened today naturally made them very happy.
