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

Cai Quanwu had not eaten a shrimp in his bowl yet, but He Yuyu on the side had already eaten a large shrimp. Probably to suit her appetite, he scooped some more into his own bowl.

After finishing the shrimp in the bowl, Cai Quanwu felt that it tasted pretty good. Maybe it was because the shrimps now were all natural and wild and pollution-free, and the frozen shrimps tasted no worse than the live shrimps that were later farmed.

"It tastes good." Cai Quanwu said with a smile.

"It's delicious." He Yuyu said vaguely.

Silly Zhu heard the compliments from Cai Quanwu and He Yuyu, and his face was full of smiles. This was the best recognition for the cook.

But what he didn't know was that He Yuyu and Cai Quanwu were both boasting about shrimps.

Picking up the wine glass, Shazhu said to Cai Quanwu: "Uncle, let's have a drink."

Seeing Sha Zhu holding up the wine glass to toast him, Cai Quanwu didn't show any pretense, picked up the wine glass, touched one with Sha Zhu, and then both drank it down.

After drinking, they both picked up vegetables and started eating.

Cai Quanwu took a bite of his food and laughed and made fun of He Yuyu, who was eating happily and had a mouth full of oil.

"Little greedy cat, eat slowly, and no one will compete with you."

"Ah."

He Yuyu nodded and responded while eating.

The last time I ate shrimp was in Quanjude. That time, He Yuyu only ate roast duck and was full of duck meat. He didn't eat the shrimp very much and didn't taste much.

This time was different. After eating too much meat, I ate shrimp. I felt that the shrimp tasted better than the meat.

At that time, Cai Quanwu had just arrived, and He Yuyu was short of oil and water in his stomach. He thought meat was delicious, but shrimps were definitely not as delicious as meat in He Yuyu's eyes.

Now two months have passed, He Yuyu can say that there is no shortage of meat every day, the oil and water keep up, and the shrimp has a different taste.

Silly Zhu looked at He Yuyu who was eating happily, with tears in his eyes. He filled up the wine glasses for Cai Quanwu and himself, picked up the wine glasses and drank in one gulp, choking and saying: "Uncle, you don't know, at this time I and I It feels really bad to stay at home in the rain and watch other people’s families happily preparing New Year’s goods while my own family has an ice pot and a cold stove.”

"There's nothing you can do about it. If you ask for help all the time, you won't be welcomed by others. Just forget about it in normal times. It's the Chinese New Year and I don't want to annoy others."

"Fortunately, I don't have any children. I come to shout out every New Year."

Silly Zhu was a little moved by the scene. Before he drank too much, he told Cai Quanwu about the sad things in the past.

The customs of the year are not something that two children can play around with.

Cai Quanwu felt something in his heart when he heard what Sha Zhu said.

Not to mention the two children in this era, in the later era when there was no shortage of food and drink, life was just as difficult.

Later, when the economy became so developed and supplies became so abundant, you could often see helpless children wearing sandals in winter while watching videos.

From ancient times to the present, helpless children have always been the same. They can only survive tenaciously on their own like weeds in the field.

If you encounter someone else's harvest, you have no ability to resist.

In this courtyard, thanks to the fact that the eldest father has no children, his eyes can stay on other children. If the eldest father had children, Silly Zhu and He Yuyu's life would be even more difficult.

The elder brother probably had a lot of complaints about others bullying the two children, so everyone didn't dare to be too unscrupulous.

Maybe it was because I thought that if I had no children in the future and was too old to move, I would be treated like this, which made me a little unbearable.

Cai Quanwu thought to himself that without the protection of the first uncle, nothing would be left in Shazhu's family in the past few years.

There are no simple people in the courtyard. What's wrong with lending you something in the name of an elder?

If you don't borrow it, you are ignorant. If you borrow it, you are like a meat bun beating a dog. You will never come back.

Still, why? I borrowed it based on my ability, why should I pay it back?

No matter what the purpose of the first uncle was, he did play a certain protective role for the Silly Zhu brothers and sisters in the courtyard.

Therefore, Cai Quanwu could still understand Shazhu's inner gratitude to the first man and his wife. It was once a light in their lives.

Before Cai Quanwu came, except for the first man, his wife and the old lady, few people in the courtyard looked up to the Si Zhu brothers and sisters, even though they had their own purposes.

It is normal to have a purpose. There is no love without a reason in the world.

"Okay, Zhuzi, let's look forward. Let's not think about the past. Now that we have survived, all the hardships will be rewarded. Good times are ahead. I'd like to give you a toast. These years have indeed not been easy for you."

Cai Quanwu didn't know how to comfort Silly Zhu. He could only tell him to look forward. Some things will be over when they are over.

"I know, uncle, I just thought of it. I don't feel happy if I don't say it." Silly Zhu said in a low tone.

At this time, He Yuyu, who was immersed in eating, had already stopped. She was not stupid, she still knew the meaning of her brother's words.

Thinking about being bullied by other children for so many years, she understood some things, but she just didn't tell her brother.

If she talks about it, her brother will fight, and she doesn't want her brother to fight.

"Well, we don't want those unhappy people. Those things are in the past. Let's eat and drink well today."

"Come on, Zhuzi, Rainwater, eat it while it's hot."

"Zhuzi, fill up the wine glass. Our uncle and nephew will definitely drink up this bottle of wine tonight."

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little gloomy, Cai Quanwu quickly cheered up the atmosphere, otherwise he wouldn't be able to eat well.

"Okay, Uncle."

Silly Zhu said, picking up the wine bottle and pouring wine.

The two of them went back and forth, and after a while, most of the bottle of wine was gone.

Just as he was getting drunk, the voice of an old man came from outside the house.

"Zhuzi, open the door and let me tell you something."

Hearing the voice of the first master, Shazhu replied: "Here he is, the first master."

As soon as Si Zhu finished speaking, He Yuyu ran to open the door. She was already full.

He Yuyu opened the door, saw the first man and his wife, and shouted: "First man, first mother."

The first man and his wife entered the door, and the first mother closed the door, took He Yuyu's hand and asked: "Yuyu, have you eaten?"

"Yes, I have eaten." He Yuyu replied with a smile.

"Master Yi, sister-in-law Yi."

"Master, mother."

Cai Quanwu and Shazhu saw the first man and his wife and said hello respectively.

After hearing the greetings from Cai Quanwu and Shazhu, the first man and his wife also greeted them.

When the two of them approached, Cai Quanwu smiled and said to them: "Master Yi, Sister-in-law Yi, sit down quickly. Have you eaten? Do you want another bite?"

"You guys eat, we've eaten, come and sit." The first man took out a cigarette from his pocket, handed one to Cai Quanwu, and said with a smile.

"Let's have a drink, sir. My uncle bought some good wine, please take a look." Silly Zhu said with a hint of showoff.

After Si Zhu finished speaking, Cai Quanwu also played the drums.

"Master Yi, have a drink to warm yourself up."

"Yu Yu, go get a pair of bowls and chopsticks for the uncle."

After hearing Cai Quanwu's instructions, He Yuyu quickly ran to get the bowls and chopsticks.

After He Yuyu left, the first man was still polite.

"Uncle Zhuzhu, I really don't need it. I just finished eating."

Regardless of whether the first man was really polite or fake, after He Yuyu brought the bowls and chopsticks, Cai Quanwu immediately asked Silly Zhu to fill the first man's wine glass.

The visitor is the guest.

"Come on, let's have a drink together."

Cai Quanwu saw Silly Zhu filling the first man's wine glass with wine, picked up the wine glass and started to drink.

"Master, hurry up, it's rare to have a drink at the table." Silly Zhu also urged the master with a smile.

Hearing that Cai Quanwu and Shazhu were so enthusiastic, the first man stopped being pretentious, picked up the wine glass, and said with a smile: "Okay, then I'm welcome."

So, all three of them drank the wine in their glasses.

After drinking, Cai Quanwu greeted the elder to eat some food.

"Master Yi, try Zhu Zhu's craftsmanship, braised prawns in oil."

"okay."

For this reason, the elder is no longer polite.
