Siheyuan: A Cook in the 60s

"That's the truth. I told him to go ask around. It's better to get married soon. He's not young anymore. It's troublesome to go through so much trouble."

"Hey." The aunt sighed: "He solved it. Tell me, what should we do? Otherwise, should we adopt one?"

When it comes to this topic, the old man fell silent.

"Just wait a little longer..."

He still hasn't given up his plan to have a child.

"Okay, just wait a little longer."

Jia family.

Xiaodang was patting his belly and burping.

The others were similar, with their stomachs full. Only Xiao Huaihua, who didn't know how to eat very well, was a little unhappy.

"Look at you. If you can't eat, don't eat. Don't get sick." Qin Huairu taught her daughter, "How do you feel? Do you need to go see Old Wang?"

Old Wang was a medicine seller at the entrance of the alley. If anyone in the alley had a headache or fever, they would go to him to get medicine. He couldn't treat illnesses, but he did have medicine for some minor ailments.

"No... no need." Xiao Dang moved his body with difficulty and said in a baby voice: "Today's food is delicious. After taking the medicine, the taste in my mouth has changed."

"You'll die of stuffiness." Qin Huairu rolled her eyes: "And you, seeing your sister so full, you just focused on eating."

Bang Geng blinked his eyes and was too weak to speak.

Qin Huairu:......

Well, a family of gluttons.

"Mom, when is the next time we have a banquet? It's so delicious." Xiaodang raised his hand and asked the question.

"No one else can set up a banquet like this. Besides, I think the only one who can set up a banquet in this yard is Cao Wei." Jia Zhang interjected.

"That's true." Everyone in the yard knew the situation.

There are quite a few young people of the right age, but not many families can really afford to set up a banquet.

"Then mom, why didn't you call me when you were setting the table?" Xiaodang continued to be curious.

Qin Huairu:......

"Are you stupid? You weren't even born when mom was setting the feast." Bang Geng recovered his breath and spoke first.

"Brother, how do you know?"

"Then I know for sure. I ate a lot on the day when mom prepared the feast, more than today..."

Qin Huairu:......

"Okay, okay, it's more than today, right? It's more than today, right?" He said as he looked for a broom.

"Hey, mom, mom, mom, mom, what are you doing?" Banggeng stood up and wanted to run away, but he was too full to run.

"I must cure you of your bad habit of bragging today."

"Hiss, I was wrong! Mom! I was wrong!"

five minutes.

Bang Geng covered his butt with tears in his eyes.

Jia Zhang was enjoying herself on the side.

"Grandma, please don't stop me."

"How can I stop you? You weren't there when your mom and your dad got married, and you even got to eat at the banquet. Oh, I'm so happy." Jia Zhang laughed while patting her thigh.

Bang Geng: ...

Qin Huairu said unhappily, "Are you going to continue talking nonsense?"

"I was wrong." Bang Geng shrank his neck.

Qin Huairu stood up and walked out the door.

"Where are you going?" asked Jia Zhang.

"Go to the backyard and talk to Lou Xiao'e. Xu Damao ran out again."

"That's fine." Jia Zhang picked her teeth and looked at Bang Geng: "My dear grandson, do you want to sleep for a while? Or go out and play for a while?"

"I want to go out and play."

"Okay then, don't run too far."

"Brother, wait for me, I'll go too."

Jia Zhang looked at the two children who ran away, smiled and shook her head, picked up Sophora japonica, put it on the kang, and lay down on it herself, holding Sophora japonica with one hand, humming an unknown song softly.

Maybe it was because they had a good lunch, or maybe people from the surrounding courtyards had gone out to the streets to have fun. The courtyard in Nanluoguxiang had become quiet.

The courtyard was peaceful. The dense shade of trees in the center of the courtyard made people feel cool. Some people were resting in their rooms, while others were sitting under the big trees in the courtyard with small stools and fanning themselves. The most comfortable person was the third uncle. I don't know where he got the reclining chair from. Every summer, he would put it in the courtyard and people would lie on it. It was so comfortable.

The children running around in the yard digested their food, felt sleepy, and went home. Only the cicadas chirped occasionally, as if telling of the summer heat. The breeze blew gently, the leaves rustled, and there was an indescribable comfort.

"Hmm~" Qin Jingru opened her eyes and felt something in her arms. She looked up. An arm? A very strong arm. She blinked her clear eyes, but her little head was still not clear for a moment.

The next second, a deep voice sounded: "Are you awake? Are you still dizzy?"

Oh, I'm married!

Qin Jingru finally remembered that she was married, and her face flushed slightly.

"No... I'm not dizzy anymore. Did I sleep too long?" She felt a little embarrassed as the orange sunlight shone in from the window.

"It's okay. It's a little after five now. Get up when you wake up." Cao Wei patted her on the back. He didn't know how this girl fell asleep. While she was sleeping, she wrapped herself around him like an octopus.

"Oh." Qin Jingru responded.

Just get up.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the room was a little awkward.

Cao Wei stood up, stretched, said "Wait a moment", and went to the outer room. After a while, he came in with an iron box.

"Here, this is our family's food book. Now I'm giving it to you for safekeeping." Cao Wei took out a small red book from the iron box and put it on the bed.

Qin Jingru picked it up carefully, looked left and right, and said, "This is the food book."

"Yes, you need to queue up to exchange food coupons on fixed days every month. I have to go to work, so you have to go to exchange them. If you don't understand anything, you can ask Lou Xiao'e. In addition, if there is negotiable grain, you can also buy some."

Negotiable grain is high-priced grain. Sometimes some of it will be released, but not everyone can buy it.

When it comes to business, Qin Jingru nodded repeatedly.

"Also, let's save up some industrial tickets. When we have enough, we can buy you a radio to relieve your boredom at home."

"But..." Qin Jingru hadn't finished her words.

A person walked in from outside the door.

"Hey, the little pig is awake." Lou Xiao'e walked in with a smile on her face and a cat-like gait.

Qin Jingru quickly grabbed the iron box and said, "I'm not a pig! What are you doing here?"

"Hee, little piggy has taken the things and doesn't recognize anyone, and is still holding the iron box. Come, let your sister see what's inside?" Lou Xiao'e didn't care, she walked over and rubbed Qin Jingru's cheek. She felt that this girl's cheek felt quite good.

Cao Wei: ...

No, where did you learn to look like a female hooligan?
