Siheyuan: Traveling through Cai Quanwu, pretending to be Uncle Shazhu

After giving the stool to He Yuyu, Cai Quanwu started walking around.

Along the way, people kept sliding past him quickly.

Cai Quanwu thought to himself that if he skated so fast, he wouldn't be afraid of falling and eating shit.

Every time he walked near a fishing friend, Cai Quanwu would stretch his head to look at other people's catches and make some idle remarks.

I walked behind the old man who was looking for Cai Quanwu to buy bait, and saw a few fish in his bucket, adding up to two or three kilograms. Cai Quanwu smiled and said:

"Uncle, the harvest is good."

The old man turned around, saw Cai Quanwu, and quickly smiled and said: "I can't compare to you, but your bait is better. I caught all the fish with your bait."

As he said that, he put down the fishing rod in his hand, took out a cigarette from his pocket, handed one to Cai Quanwu, and said sheepishly: "My family's condition is not good, so I can't afford a good cigarette."

Cai Quanwu took the cigarette and said with a smile: "Hey, the smell of the cigarette is almost the same."

As he spoke, he took out a match from his pocket and lit the cigarette.

Seeing Cai Quanwu lighting the cigarette, the old man smiled and put the cigarette back into his pocket, picked up the fishing rod, and continued fishing.

When Cai Quanwu saw the old man's actions, he knew that this cigarette the old man was reluctant to smoke was the best cigarette he could produce.

So sometimes don’t think that what others come up with is not good, because they don’t care about you, and they do it on purpose. In fact, others have come up with the best thing they can.

After chatting with the old man for a few words, he found out the old man's true identity.

The old man's surname is Zhou. He also has a wife, son, daughter-in-law, grandchildren, and a large family at home. The son works alone to support the family.

My daughter-in-law has a rural registered permanent residence, and she has several grandchildren but no living allowance. It can be said that the conditions are quite difficult.

Usually, my wife and daughter-in-law go to the street to do some manual work to supplement the family income, but it is only a drop in the bucket. It is impossible to give all the manual work to your family. There are many needy households on the street, and the work received each time is limited.

The old man also works odd jobs to support his family. If he has nothing to do, he goes fishing and improves the food for his family.

Pork is too expensive, and given their family's conditions, they would be reluctant to buy it during the New Year or the holidays.

Not long after chatting, Cai Quanwu heard He Yuyu calling him over there, took out a cigarette from his pocket, smoked one and handed it to the old man.

"Uncle Zhou, have a cigarette. My niece called me. I'll go over first."

Uncle Zhou took the cigarette and said happily: "Oh, I got all the cadre cigarettes."

It was really hard for Cai Quanwu to answer this, so he could only be careless.

"Hey, cadre cigarettes are just for fun. You continue fishing, I'll leave first."

With that said, he walked back.

When he came here just now, Cai Quanwu was just wandering around. Now he goes back and walks in a straight line, which is much faster.

When he came to He Yuyu and saw her unhappy face, Cai Quanwu asked curiously: "Yu Yu, what's wrong?"

He Yuyu heard his uncle's question and immediately complained.

"Uncle, I was going to catch a fish, but my brother insisted on pulling it and pulled my fish away. If I had come to pull it, I might have caught it. I'm really angry."

Hearing He Yuyu's complaint, Shazhu smiled at the side, not knowing how to refute.

The fish did run away when he was lifting the fishing line. What could he say? Who told him that he had to pull the fish because of his lack of hands?

Cai Quanwu comforted He Yuyu a few words, picked up the wooden stick in her hand, lifted the fishhook and saw that the bait on the fishhook was gone.

He put the bait on the hook again, handed the wooden stick to He Yuyu, and said with a smile: "I will fish with you this time, I will definitely catch fish."

Hearing his uncle's words, He Yuyu showed a smile on his face and nodded.

However, I don’t know whether his luck ran out or whether Cai Quanwu’s nesting time was too long and it didn’t work. In the next half hour, he didn’t catch much and only caught a few small miscellaneous fish.

Seeing that no big fish was caught, He Yuyu lost interest in fishing as soon as his excitement wore off.

It happened that Shazhu hadn't tried it yet, so he took it over to fish.

Silly Zhu's luck wasn't very good, and he only caught a few fish in half an hour, but overall it was better than He Yuyu.

At least the fish caught by Shazhu were enough for a meal. There were two small carp, one weighing about seven or eight taels, and a few small miscellaneous fish.

Looking at the time, it was only ten minutes to one o'clock, and it was already past the meal time. Thinking of the meal time, Cai Quanwu felt a little hungry, so he called Shazhu to prepare to go back.

"Zhuzi, it's getting late. Let's go back. We're a little hungry."

Just as Cai Quanwu finished speaking, Sha Zhu hadn't spoken yet, He Yuyu said quickly: "Yes, uncle, I'm hungry too, let's go back to eat."

After He Yuyu finished speaking, Shazhu replied:

"Okay, Uncle."

With that said, Shazhu put away his things.

Cai Quanwu made fun of He Yuyu.

"You greedy little cat knows you're hungry."

After packing their things, the three of them carried their things and walked towards the shore where the bicycles were parked.

After Cai Quanwu and the others left, their fishing spot was immediately occupied by the fishing guys who were staring at their spot.

When I came to the shore, I found the bicycle, which was still the same as when I came here. He Yuyu sat on the crossbar in front, Silly Zhu sat on the back with a bucket, and Cai Quanwu rode the bicycle to the courtyard.

Back at the quadrangle, after the Shazhu brothers and sisters got off the bus, Cai Quanwu pushed the bicycle toward the yard. Shazhu followed behind with a bucket, while He Yuyu ran quickly with skates in front.

Walking into the courtyard, many neighbors in the courtyard had eaten and were sunbathing in the courtyard.

He Yuyu walked home with his skates, Cai Quanwu pushed the cart and greeted the neighbors, and Silly Zhu held a bucket and showed off behind, waiting for Cai Quanwu and He Yuyu to arrive in the middle courtyard. , he was still playing in the front yard.

"I caught this carp today. Look how beautiful it is. This big grass carp weighs more than ten kilograms."

Silly Zhu's yelling made the neighbors sunbathing stand up and look into the bucket that Silly Zhu was carrying. When they found that Silly Zhu was not lying, they all started to praise him.

"Si Zhu is not exaggerating, this carp is indeed beautiful."

"I think the big grass carp is the best. It weighs more than ten kilograms, and it can produce fish oil."

"This bucket of fish is estimated to weigh dozens of kilograms, which is enough to last for a long time."

……

There were more and more discussions, and the voice kept getting louder, which attracted the third uncle Yan Bugui who was at home.

Seeing the third uncle coming out, someone made fun of him.

"Third uncle, look at other people's fishing, and then look at your fishing. What they catch in one day can be as good as yours for several months. You still claim that you are an expert at fishing, but you are not that good at fishing."

When he came to Silly Zhu, the third uncle looked into the bucket, smiled and cursed at the person who just made fun of him: "What do you know, no matter how powerful the master is, there is no way to go against luck, Silly Zhu is a piece of shit." transport."

The third uncle's words were accurate, but he regretted in his heart, hey, why didn't he think of going fishing today, otherwise he would be the one who might have caught so many fish.

When the time comes, you will get almost ten yuan from selling the big fish, and the remaining small fish can be used to make soup at home.

The more the third uncle thought about it, the more heartbroken he became. He felt like he had lost a lot of money.

Suddenly, the third uncle rolled his eyes and thought, it's still early, if he goes now, he might still gain something.

So, the third uncle shamelessly asked Silly Zhu:

"Zhuzi, where did you catch the fish?"

When he heard the third uncle asking about the fishing location, Shazhu knew the third uncle's plan, but he did not hide it and told the truth to the third uncle.

"It's just fishing in Shicha Sea. You can try it. Maybe you can catch a few."

The third uncle was doubtful about what Sha Zhu said. It was not like he had never fished in Shichahai. The fish there were not that easy to catch.

"Zhuzi, aren't you fooling your third uncle? The fish in Shichahai are not easy to catch. They are all fished out."

Silly Zhu was unhappy with the third uncle's doubts about him and said impatiently: "Hey, a dog bites Lu Dongbin. He doesn't know a good heart. Believe it or not."

After that, he stopped talking to the third uncle and walked home with the bucket.
