Siheyuan: A Cook in the 60s

"Ah~"

"Ah, what? There will be a chance next time. You should have something to do tomorrow, right?" Qin Huairu looked at Cao Wei.

"Well, I have to go to my master's place, and by the way, to Baweizhai. Also, Jingru, we have to discuss the issue of eating at home."

"What happened to eating?"

"He doesn't usually come home for dinner. Don't act like you're not married and don't bring him home for dinner."

Hearing Qin Huairu say this, Qin Jingru became nervous. What's the point of getting married if her husband doesn't even show up?

"Not really." Cao Wei waved his hand: "I've already thought about it. From now on, we can just eat something casually in the morning, some rice porridge or something like that, just to fill our stomachs. I'll bring lunch back from the factory, after lunch, you can go to Baweizhai and wait for me. We'll have dinner at Baweizhai."

"Baweizhai?" Qin Jingru didn't know such a place.

"It's where I studied medicine. Now every day..." Cao Wei told Qin Jingru about his current daily schedule and his plans: "It will be like this for the next two years if we don't have a child. If we have a child, I will see how to adjust it."

"Why two years?" Qin Jingru stretched out two fingers and asked in confusion.

"On the one hand, you are still young, and on the other hand, you are too thin and need to be supplemented."

"Indeed, she is too thin." Lou Xiao'e nodded.

In the TV series, Qin Huairu was a little fatter, and Qin Jingru wasn't that thin either. But in reality, Cao Wei's first impression of Qin Huairu was that she looked haggard, the kind of thin to the point of being haggard. It was only in these few months that he occasionally stuffed something into her mouth, and her complexion slowly began to improve. People these days are generally malnourished.

In reality, Qin Jingru was 65 meters tall, and Cao Wei estimated that she weighed only about kilograms. It would not be an exaggeration to say that she was skin and bones.

According to him, no matter what, the weight should be raised to around 110.

He planned to take Qin Jingru to visit Liu Sandao tomorrow, and then go to Baweizhai to ask the old man to see him.

See how to adjust it.

"No, I can give birth!" Qin Jingru said a little panicked: "I'm already grown up."

"I have the final say." Cao Wei touched her little head and said, "We'll talk after you gain some weight."

"Don't you want me?" Qin Jingru said cautiously.

Cao Wei: ...

What's going on in this girl's mind?

"I don't want you, but I want to keep you fat? What good things are you thinking?"

"Yeah, hehe, that's good." She felt relieved.

Qin Huairu looked at Qin Jingru with some envy.

When she got married, the Jia family didn't tell her much. On the first day, it was Jia Zhang who taught her the rules...

And then it’s about having babies, babies, and babies.

That is to say, her foundation is not bad, otherwise she really can't hold on. Compared with Qin Jingru, Qin Huairu is still lucky. She didn't experience the three-year famine in the countryside. If she had married into the Jia family after the three-year famine, whether she could survive is another matter. A body that is severely depleted is not suitable for childbirth.

Lou Xiao'e sighed inexplicably and waved her hand: "I'm going back."

"Wait, I'll go back too."

Cao Wei glanced at them and didn't chase after them.

Qin Jingru counted on her fingers how much she had to learn and felt a little dizzy, but she felt confident.

"I'm going to cook."

"I'm going to help!"

Cao Wei was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said gently: "Okay, let's make some steamed bread for dinner. There are some leftovers from lunch, so let's just eat it now."

"That's not just a compromise. The food at noon was so delicious. I have never eaten such delicious food in my life..."

The two chatted as they entered the kitchen and started to work. After a while, smoke rose from the Cao family, or rather, the place that could now be called the Cao family, like other families.

The smoke slowly floated upwards, and like other smoke, it blended into the air and disappeared...

Lou Xiao'e stared at the rising smoke outside the house. She suddenly realized that she seemed to have no place to eat dinner.

She stood up, paused, and sat down again.

For some reason, she suddenly had no appetite and didn't want to eat.

She just stared at the scenery outside in a daze. She had been looking at this scenery for several years. She was very familiar with every tree and blade of grass outside the house. She didn't want to look at it anymore.

She lowered her head, looked at the open book on the table, sighed, and raised her head again, looking at the scenery outside the door, her eyes empty. She was the only one in the huge room.

I don’t know how long it took.

Suddenly, a little head popped out of the door.

Qin Jingru waved at her: "It's time to eat."

"Call me?" Lou Xiao'e pointed at herself.

"Yes." Qin Jingru's little head nodded, as if she had thought of something, and said proudly: "I said I'm the first wife, and you can't cook without me."

Lou Xiao'e was stunned for a moment, and suddenly smiled. That smile was like a blooming peony.

"Why are you smiling so beautifully!" Qin Jingru was alert!

"Let's go and eat." Lou Xiao'e walked out and walked past Qin Jingru.

"Oh." Qin Jingru responded, looked at Lou Xiao'e's plump back, curled her lips, felt something was wrong, took two quick steps, and ran in front of Lou Xiao'e.

"Those who walk in front are usually servants."

Qin Jingru's steps stiffened for a moment.

"Pfft, I'm kidding, Xinhua Country, where did the servant come from? Let's go."

"Humph, you are so mean! Let me tell you..."

Qin Jingru kept clamoring for Lou Xiaoe to look good, and Lou Xiaoe smiled beautifully. Inexplicably, there was an indescribable sense of harmony.

After a bustling day, Sijiu City finally quieted down.

Cao Wei came out of his house. Although his house was close to the wall, there was still a gap. According to the third uncle, his house used to be a back door. But later, someone had the back door sealed and built another house on it. Now, behind their house and Xu Damao's house, which is facing the street, there is a small path that is neither big nor small.

What's more, there is a hollow window on the wall of the path, so it doesn't seem narrow at all.

He walked to the window, took out a cigarette and lit it for himself.

In the past, when I was tired of sleeping or had something on my mind, I would light it up at home.

Now that Qin Jingru has come to his house, he no longer smokes at home.

The match struck through the darkness, bringing a brief flash of light, lit up the cigarette, and then went out in an instant.

He took a deep breath, and just in time, a gust of wind blew by, and he closed his mouth, and smoke came out of his nostrils.

"Hello." A voice made his smoking hand tremble slightly, but he regained his composure in an instant.
