The Head Chef at a State-Run Restaurant in the 1960s

(Back again to finish the story)

A formerly lazy, gluttonous man who becomes a master chef x a responsible, doting woman from a matriarchal society

Wei Cheng was the laziest man on the production team. He loafed around every day, never doing anything worthwhile, and spent all his time fooling around. Luckily, he had a grandmother who doted on her grandson. She raised him on flour and eggs, and even spent a fortune getting him a sent-down educated youth for a wife.

Everyone on the production team lamented that the lazy man had married an educated youth who couldn't do farm work. Once Old Madam Wei died, they thought, this family would have a hard time. They'd probably starve to death.

They waited and waited, until the Educated Youth Lin became a model worker and then the commune's women's director. They sighed, thinking Educated Youth Lin must have been forced to work herself to the bone. She had to support the whole family on her own, and she had a hard life ahead of her.

But in the end, that lazy man Wei Cheng became a master chef at a state-owned restaurant. He built a bright, spacious Western-style house and brought Old Madam Wei over to enjoy her retirement.

The family somehow ended up living the kind of life everyone envied.

Someone asked Wei Cheng how he'd gone from being an idle loafer to a master chef who doted on his wife and supported his family.

Wei Cheng quietly lit a cigarette and said in a distant voice, "It all started when that orb calling itself the Reform System showed up."
