Siheyuan: Cooking journey

From now on, I have to maintain this ignorant personality.

A good man has to pretend not to understand.

"As long as you agree, I will be the head of the family from now on. All the money in the family must be managed by me, and every penny must be spent on the most important things, so that you won't spend money recklessly and run to help the young widow just because she looks good."

"..."

He Yuzhu felt mixed emotions.

I really want to explain that the reason I helped the young widow was not because she was pretty.

It doesn’t really matter who is in charge.

He Yuzhu didn't take it too seriously.

Since Lou Xiao'e was willing to take on this responsibility, he kindly reminded her:

“You may have misunderstood. Being the head of a household is not just about managing money. The most important thing in a household is the food allowance.

“Every month, we have a number for how much food we have, what vegetables we buy, and daily groceries;

“When these rations are used up, even if you have money, you can’t buy food or vegetables. You have to go to the grain store with your notebook and queue up to buy rice and flour;

"For meat and vegetables, you have to get up at three or four o'clock and queue up at the market;

“You still have to go to the coal yard to buy the coal briquettes and bring them back yourself;

“Don’t forget to pay your water and electricity bills;

"Oh, the streets will occasionally increase the ration of supplies, and you have to queue up in time to buy them. If you are late, they will be gone.

"You have become the backbone of the family. You should take over all the chores I just mentioned, such as washing clothes and sweeping the floor. Don't worry, I support you wholeheartedly as the head of the family. I will help you with meals."

"Oh, I don't understand these either."

Lou Xiao'e felt panicked and extremely confused.

My mother, who is in charge of the house, doesn't do these chores.

Then I thought again, I am now living in a working-class family, which is completely different from the situation in my previous family, and I suddenly felt discouraged.

I was completely in the dark and had no idea what to do.

He Yuzhu hugged her, secretly laughing in his heart. How could a lady from a noble family understand these things? So he kindly gave her an idea:

“Let’s do this;

“You are still the head of our family, you can let me do these tasks;

"Every month when I get paid, I'll give it to you first, and you'll give it to me, and I'll be responsible for the expenses. Oh, you've got a salary now, too, give it to me, and we'll live together in the future. My share may not be enough.

"I will take care of all these chores for you from now on. Just live peacefully at home."

"real or fake!"

When Lou Xiao'e heard this, she was very happy and thought it was a good idea.

But then I felt something was wrong.

But when I thought about how my mother was also pointing fingers at others at home, I didn't think about it any more.

Anyway, just like my mother, she has the final say when she is the head of the family.

"Of course it's true, how could I lie to you?"

This is all for your own good.

He Yuzhu felt at ease, gently stroked her back, and said softly:

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore, let's go to sleep."

"Uh-huh."

Lou Xiao'e rubbed against his arms, smelling the elegant and fresh scent on him. She felt at ease and sweet in her heart, and she couldn't help but hug him tightly. He was mine, completely mine.

...

Early the next morning.

He Yuzhu woke up in a daze and rubbed his eyebrows.

I didn’t sleep well the whole night, and now I can’t sleep in any longer. If I’m late, everyone in the factory will go hungry.

He glanced into his arms and saw Lou Xiao'e was still sleeping soundly, her peaceful appearance was as beautiful as the morning light.

A surge of tenderness surged in He Yuzhu's heart. He leaned over slightly and lightly touched her forehead.

"What are you doing?"

Lou Xiao'e opened her eyes dazedly and wrinkled her nose, looking very dissatisfied.

"You want to bite me?"

"Nothing."

He Yuzhu denied it flatly, and Wen smiled, "Sleep a little longer, I have to go to work."

"Oh."

Lou Xiao'e nodded blankly, and her eyes gradually focused.

That cute and innocent look made He Yuzhu couldn't help but want to bend down and kiss her.

But before he lowered his head, Lou Xiao'e seemed to remember something. She suddenly turned over and groped under the pillow. When she turned around, she found a watch in her hand.

That watch is neither ordinary nor common, but it is indeed quite common.

This is an Inge all-steel waterproof men's watch, priced at 151 yuan, and must be purchased with a ticket.

For most workers, this is a luxury.

It is also something that I once dreamed of but never dared to hope for.

But to the Lou family, this is just an ordinary thing.

He Yuzhu looked at it carefully.

Lou Xiao'e leaned over to him, leaned into his arms, put it on his left hand, looked up at him, and said cunningly:

"I bought this for you with my pocket money. Do you like it?"

"like."

He Yuzhu stroked her hair with his chin, his heart full of tenderness.

"My mother once said that for a man, a watch is the most important thing. Every time he looks at the time, he has to think of me."

Lou Xiao'e's face flushed slightly, her small nose wrinkled, and she warned with a fierce yet delicate look:

"Once you put it on, don't even think about taking it off. If you dare, just wait and see!"

An indescribable feeling surged in He Yuzhu's heart, and he couldn't help but hug her tighter. He wanted to bend down and kiss her, but he held back.

If you want to bow your head, it means you like someone, and if you can hold it back, it also means you like someone, right?

The mornings in the cafeteria were no different from any other day, except that from now on,

Whenever he looked at his watch,

There is always an indescribable emotion that arises inadvertently, gently, softly, lingering in my heart, lingering...

By noon, the work was done.

He Yuzhu rode his bike to the Evergreen Commune alone, but Lou Xiaoe was not feeling well, so he did not let her go with him.

After returning, he couldn't wait to find her.

First I went to the pharmacy and got the medicine according to the prescription.

After thinking for a while, he went to buy a bag of sugar, then went to the black market and bought ten eggs at ten cents each.

As soon as you enter the house,

He Yuzhu first went to borrow a clay pot for boiling medicine from the deaf old lady next door, set up a small stove at the door, and began to decoct the medicine.

Seeing this, Lou Xiao'e asked with curiosity and concern:

"Why did you think of decocting medicine? Are you feeling unwell?"

He Yuzhu looked at her gently and reminded her:

"It's not me. You said you were not feeling well, so I bought some Chinese medicine. You should feel better after drinking it."

"what……"

When Lou Xiao'e heard this, her face changed and she hurried back into the house.

"I won't drink it. I've been afraid of taking medicine since I was a child. I get a headache just by smelling it!"

He Yuzhu couldn't help but laugh when he saw her reaction.

Fortunately, it was prepared in advance, otherwise I would not be able to get the medicine into her mouth.

Adjust the heat and boil the medicine patiently.

When I returned to the room, I found Lou Xiao'e curled up on the bed, buried in the blanket, like a frightened little quail.

Is Chinese medicine really that scary?

He Yuzhu glanced at her, shook his head with amusement, turned around and started preparing to make the cake.

The cake is ready, I don’t believe she can refuse it.

And I just discovered that this Chinese medicine is not bitter at all. Although supplies are tight and materials are limited,

But making a cake is still simple, all you need is eggs, sugar and flour.

Separate the egg whites and egg yolks. Since I don’t have an egg beater at home, I can only use chopsticks to beat the egg whites until they become creamy.

This kind of work is no problem for him.
