Siheyuan: A Cook in the 60s

It’s still that familiar courtyard.

Only this time, many things in the courtyard were missing.

All I heard was a loud "bang".

The man walked out of the room, followed closely by the woman.

The man had sunken eye sockets and bloodshot eyes.

The woman hugged the man's shoulders and said in a shrill voice, "Master, please don't go. There is no money at home. If you go again, someone will take our daughter away. Take her away!"

"Let go!" The man kicked the woman aside and walked out.

The woman was left alone wiping her tears.

A small figure came out of the room timidly.

It was the little girl who smiled happily in the sunshine back then.

It has grown a little, but the bright eyes are gone. Now, its eyes are full of fear. However, it takes a lot of courage for a frightened little rabbit to walk into the sunshine.

"Mom, I'm scared..." The little girl's voice trembled.

The woman heard the little girl say "I'm scared".

Unable to hold it in any longer, she hugged the little girl, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably.

"Don't be afraid, Nannan. Don't be afraid, Nannan."

"Mom, I don't want to be sold, let's go..."

When the woman heard what the little girl said, she was stunned for a moment, then her expression became firm. She wiped her tears and said, "Okay, let's go!"

After that, the woman did not pack anything else, but went to the only tree left in the yard, dug a hole under the tree, took out the things in the hole, and left in a hurry with the little girl.

The wind blew across the empty courtyard, from the front of the hall to the back, flowing smoothly.

I don’t know how much time passed.

The gate was opened.

A group of ferocious-looking men dragged Ye Ren, who looked like a dead dog, into the yard.

The leader looked around and waved his hand.

The men received the order and immediately began searching.

Half an hour passed.

"Shopkeeper, no, it seems he ran away."

"She ran away? She's the most beautiful woman in Jiangnan! Mr. Ye, where's your wife?"

"Hey...hehe." Ye Ren didn't answer, just laughed.

"Pick his hands and feet."

“Hey…hey hey.”

The two sturdy men took out their special torture instruments and cut Ye Ren with expressionless faces.

If it were an ordinary person, he would probably scream in pain.

However, Ye Ren was still laughing “Hey…hehe”.

"Shopkeeper, this..."

"Damn it, this is bad luck. Whatever, let's take a look around this house and see if there are any valuables left. Let's take them all away."

"Boss, where are the things left? It's not like I haven't been here before."

"Go, go, go. I told you to go, so just go. Why are you wasting your time talking?"

“Hey…hey hey.”

In the high sky, a bright moon shone on the dilapidated yard. There was no one in the yard, only a man lying there who could only say "Hey...hehe".

----

“Hey…hey hey.”

"Hey, hey, hey." Cao Wei pressed Ye Ren's temple.

This pulled Ye Ren out of his memories.

He looked at Ye Ren, then at Luzhu.

After a second of silence, his hand reached out for the stew again.

Cao Wei was quick to put away the stewed meat. He was kidding. Three times, if it was more, he would die. Qin Jingru tasted it little by little, but this guy ate it in big mouthfuls.

Qin Jingru happened to come back from outside at this moment, and saw the incredible scene with tears in her eyes.

No, why is there really someone snatching this thing? Is this thing really delicious?

The clever Qin Jingru wanted to try it again, but when she thought of the taste, she gave up and decided to ask Cao Wei later.

Ye Ren looked at Cao Wei.

Cao Wei looked at Ye Ren.

"release."

"If you eat anyone else, you'll die."

Ye Ren sighed, stood up, and waved his hand without saying anything else. He no longer had the interest to talk.

On the one hand, he was hit by the weird couple in Samadhi Tower.

On the other hand, the face that he had never seen even in his dreams appeared before his eyes again, and he needed to slow down.

"Shopkeeper..." Liu Lan looked at Ren Ye worriedly.

"It's okay, let the old man take it easy." Cao Wei waved his hand.

"Then these."

"Hurry up and throw it away, and you too." Cao Wei glared at Qin Jingru, grabbed her little face and pinched it: "Why do you put everything in your mouth!"

"I thought it was delicious..." Qin Jingru said aggrievedly.

"Is it tasty?"

“It tastes terrible.”

Liu Lan: No, you two should treat me as a human being.

"Master Cao, I'll be leaving first."

"Well, go ahead." The couple said in unison.

Liu Lan: So they are just waiting for me, an outsider, to leave?

Why do I suddenly feel a little tired?

"Oh, that's right." Cao Wei suddenly shouted, "Wait a minute."

"how?"

"There is something you need to arrange." Cao Wei said seriously.

Seeing Cao Wei's serious expression, she couldn't help but become serious as well.

"Well, let Wei Wei come along. We need to talk to him about this. Let's go to my office."

Cao Wei's general office was not originally intended to be too outrageous.

But Lou Xiao'e said that since he was the boss now, he had to look a bit stylish, so she asked her secretary to prepare him a set of clothes that were the most fashionable in Hong Kong at the time, and many things were copied directly from Hong Kong.

Cao Wei loves nothing else but the tea table in his office.

Wei Wei wiped the sweat from his forehead and went into the office with Liu Lan.

"Boss, you called me?"

"Old Wei, it's been so long, there's no need to be like this, come on, sit down."

"Hehe." Wei Wei didn't say anything else, just said "hehe" and sat down.

Putting aside other things, just based on the salary Cao Wei gives you, it’s not a loss to just call him boss honestly.

"Recently, I received news that someone wanted to attack our Samadhi Building."

"Ah?!" X3

Liu Lan, Qin Jingru and Wei Wei were all shocked.

"No, why?" Qin Jingru shouted.

"Are we earning too much?" Wei Wei asked tentatively in a low voice.

To be honest, it is highly unlikely that the salary of an employee in a company is kept secret, especially for those with good treatment. People always need to show off when they live in this world. In Samadhi Building, even the salary of dishwashers is more than double that of ordinary companies. As for those who are above them, like Sha Zhu, they can get nearly 500 yuan a month including salary and bonus. This number is somewhat outrageous.

It's not surprising to be targeted.

This cannot be blamed on anything else. The main reason is that there are too many idle people in the market.

"Well, later, tell your subordinates to keep a low profile. Also, Wei Wei, count which of our employees live together. When scheduling shifts, try to schedule those who live together in the same shift, so that they can go to and from get off work together."
