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

(Thank you guys for the gifts!)

Without making any further stops, Cai Quanwu left the abandoned house, moved forward quickly, and finally made it back before dawn.

When Cai Quanwu returned to the room, his nose hurt from the cold. He quickly took off his clothes and got into bed, sighing in his heart that the bed was still comfortable.

Sleep until you wake up naturally.

Cai Quanwu woke up and looked at his watch. It was after eleven o'clock, and he lingered for a while before getting up.

After washing up, I rode my tricycle out the door.

Arriving at a nearby state-owned restaurant, Cai Quanwu ordered a meat dish and a bowl of rice to eat.

After eating and eating for a while, I got into the car and started today's work.

After pedaling all afternoon, when it was almost dark, Cai Quanwu earned more than [-] cents.

Now that the weather is getting colder and colder, many people are reluctant to go out and hide in their homes. There are fewer and fewer guests, and their incomes have plummeted.

Cai Quanwu thought that with his current income, if he didn't cook for himself, it would be enough to go to a restaurant.

Forget it, I won’t be able to eat three wheels if I don’t ride three wheels at night, so I’ll go have a bowl of fried noodles.

As a migrant worker in later generations said, if you don’t work at night, you don’t have to eat.

After eating the noodles, Cai Quanwu drove back home slowly.

Back in the room, Cai Quanwu started lighting the stove.

After a while, the firewood in the stove was lit. Cai Quanwu put in the briquettes and sat on the kang, dazed.

It's not that Cai Quanwu doesn't want to do something, it's just that in this day and age, there really isn't much to do at night.

After being in a daze for a while and waiting for the stove to heat up, Cai Quanguan came to the door and went to the rental house with a thought.

Take yesterday's braised meat out of the pot and prepare to drain.

I washed a few canning bottles I bought last time and filled them with marinade.

I washed a few more bottles and there wasn't enough marinade.

Keep it here for later use. Get a bottle later, pour beef sauce into it, and take it out to eat steamed buns.

In this day and age, this marinade is a good thing. It is very oily and watery. If you don't eat it yourself, it will be more honorable to give it to others.

After waiting for a while, after the marinade juice is drained, put it in something and put it away.

I cleaned up the kitchen, opened a bottle of Laoganma beef sauce, poured it into a can, took the marinade with me, and returned to the room.

I put the things on the table, washed my face with hot water on the stove, soaked my feet, and went to bed.

Go to bed early and get up early to be healthy.

Silent all night.

When he woke up early the next morning, he saw that the time was just after six o'clock. After lingering for a while, he felt that the bed was getting colder and colder, so Cai Quanwu got up.

After brushing my teeth and washing my face, I packed the things I brought out last night in a bag and went out.

I guess I got up too early today and there was no one in the yard. I put my things in the car, pushed the car out of the yard, and rode the tricycle towards Nanluogu Lane.

On the way, I visited a steamed bun shop and thought about it and bought a few big meat buns as a treat for the Silly Zhu brothers and sisters.

When Cai Quanwu came to the courtyard, he met the third uncle as usual.

Aren't you afraid of the cold so early?

Cai Quanwu really felt that he was worthy of being called the God of Doors, and he felt that he was more worthy of the name than the God of War in Siheyuan.

The God of War can still be suppressed in the courtyard. This door god is terrifying and no one can suppress him.

Looking at the third uncle who was rubbing his hands in the cold, Cai Quanwu thought to himself, what are you trying to do? You don’t have to spend money to see a doctor if you have a problem with the cold?

The third uncle smelled the aroma of the big meat buns from afar, and greeted Cai Quanwu with a smile on his face. The more he inhaled the aroma, the more advantage he would get.

The third uncle did not expect Cai Quanwu to give him big meat buns. The third uncle still knew this.

"Uncle Zhuzi, it's really hard to get up so early. You have to run back and forth to repair the house for Zhuzhu. This is all my father can do."

"Teacher Yan, thank you for your praise. I went to bed early last night and woke up early today. If you have nothing to do, come over early and take a look."

"Teacher Yan, it's so cold at the entrance of the hospital. If you get sick from the cold, you have to go to the hospital and spend money for medical treatment. It's better to go back to the house, where it's warm."

"I went in first, it's too cold."

After saying that, he walked to Shazhu's house in the middle courtyard.

Cai Quan's words made the third uncle find a new angle to look at the problem.

Yes, if you really get sick from the cold, you will lose a lot of money. I don’t know when I can make up for the small gain.

The calculation was almost wrong. The third uncle thought to himself that his calculation skills still need to be improved.

When I walked into the middle courtyard, I saw a bunch of messy things at the door of Shazhu's house, all of which had been moved from the room.

When I walked into the house, I saw that things were indeed tidied up.

After walking around in a circle, Cai Quanwu came to the penthouse and saw that Silly Zhu was still sleeping. Maybe he had a hard time moving things yesterday.

He Yuyu had already woken up, but had not yet dressed and got up. When he saw Cai Quanwu coming in, he looked surprised.

"Uncle, you are here so early."

Cai Quanwu thought to himself, I didn't expect it to be so early, but the bed got colder as I slept.

"Well, get up quickly. I bought meat buns. It will get cold later." Cai Quanwu seduced He Yuyu and gave her some motivation to get up.

"Yeah." He Yuyu smiled with the corners of his mouth raised and nodded quickly.

Here, Cai Quanwu came to Si Zhu's bed, teased Si Zhu, and shouted loudly: "He Yuzhu, your wife is here."

Silly Zhu, who was sleeping soundly, was awakened by the sound. He propped himself up with one arm and hurriedly talked.

"Where, where."

Silly Zhu's conversation made Cai Quanwu and He Yuyu laugh out loud.

I really miss my wife.

Hearing the laughter of Cai Quanwu and He Yuyu, Silhu woke up and realized that his uncle was teasing him, so he complained.

"Uncle, are you kidding like this? I was sleeping soundly."

"Don't even look at what time it is. Get up quickly. Don't wait for the sun to bask in your butt. You still have to go to work."

He Yuyu also chimed in.

"Brother, uncle bought big meat buns."

Hearing Roubaozi, Shazhu was no longer sleepy. He opened the quilt, picked up his clothes and put them on.

Silly Zhu is not yet in charge of cooking Xiaozao, and the oil and water are not as abundant as before, and the salary is not high. He also has to support his sister. He makes breakfast by himself, which is basically porridge, pickles, and steamed buns.

Therefore, the current meat buns are still very attractive to him.

The two siblings washed their faces, picked up the buns that Cai Quanwu had placed on the table, and started eating.

Cai Quanwu had eaten it when he bought it, and now he was watching the two brothers and sisters eat it.

While eating, He Yuyu said with a smile: "Uncle, the meat buns are so delicious. I wish I could eat them every morning."

Silly Zhu made fun of his sister's whims.

"Yu Yu, what are you dreaming about? You still eat it every day. It would be nice if you can eat it once in a while."

Cai Quanwu encouraged He Yuyu and said: "Yuyu, don't listen to your brother, study hard. When you become a cadre, you can eat meat buns every morning."

"Well, uncle, I will study hard, become a cadre, and eat meat buns every morning." He Yuyu said while looking forward to the happy life of eating meat buns every morning.

Hearing what his uncle and sister said, Silly Zhu felt that this was just an idiot's talk, how could it be possible, but he didn't say much and let them have a sweet dream.

Looking at He Yuyu cheering him up, Cai Quanwu thought of that movie line, "You still have to have dreams, what if they come true?"

Cai Quanwu knew that He Yuyu's dream of eating meat buns every morning would definitely come true.

The two brothers and sisters ate the six buns in no time. It is obvious that people in this era have huge appetites.

After eating the steamed buns, He Yuyu packed his schoolbag and went to school with his friends in the yard.

Silly Zhu had nothing to do, so he opened the bag that Cai Quanwu brought over. He saw the marinade and Laoganma beef sauce in the can, and curiously asked about Cai Quanwu.
