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

"Zhu Zi, open a bottle of good wine, let's have a drink at noon."

"This rabbit meat is a good dish to go with wine."

When He Yushui came back with the dishes and chopsticks, Cai Quanwu gave some instructions to Sha Zhu.

"okay."

When Sha Zhu heard the order, he ran back to his room to get some wine.

"Uncle, I want to drink soda." Seeing this, He Yushui went to Cai Quanwu and started to act coquettishly.

"Last time your sister Xiao Wu and the others came over, didn't they finish the soda they bought?"

"Go get it if you want a drink."

Cai Quanwu thought there was still soda at home, so he agreed.

When He Yushui heard this, he sat there with his head down and remained silent.

"She drank it all in private a long time ago, there's no way there would be any left."

Sha Zhu came over with the wine and started mocking He Yushui.

When Cai Quanwu heard what Sha Zhu said, he finally understood what He Yushui meant.

He wondered why He Yushui was so honest and even asked for permission before drinking soda.

It turned out that the drink at home was finished.

After thinking about it, he realized that today was a holiday, so he took out two dimes from his pocket and said to He Yushui:

"If you want to drink it, buy it yourself."

Anyway, the supply and marketing cooperative is not far away, and it only takes a few minutes to go there and back.

"Uncle, I have money."

Seeing that Cai Quanwu asked her to buy it, He Yushui said something and ran out quickly.

Looking at He Yushui's back, Cai Quanwu felt that her speed was faster than that of the rabbit in the basin.

If the rabbit had been that fast at the beginning, it probably wouldn't have ended up like this.

When He Yushui came back again, Cai Quanwu and Sha Zhu had already started drinking.

After coming back, He Yushui couldn't wait to join in and started eating with big mouthfuls.

Cai Quanwu and Sha Zhu finished a bottle of wine, and the lunch was over.

After dinner, Cai Quanwu sat beside him, smoking a cigarette, looking at the leftovers on Sha Zhu's table, and gave orders:

"Zhu Zi, put the remaining pieces of rabbit meat and soup in a bowl. I'll take them to see Uncle San later."

"The third uncle twisted his waist while chasing rabbits. Let him eat some rabbit meat to make up for it."

"Okay, uncle."

Cai Quanwu's words were full of sarcasm, and Sha Zhu agreed with a smile.

He knew that his uncle was in a bad mood and wanted to make fun of the third uncle, but he said it in such a high-sounding way.

But the third uncle should be very happy that my uncle can go to see him.

Because he used a lot of hot pot base when cooking the rabbit, the broth was full of oil and water.

For Uncle Sanye's family, cooking some cabbage in the evening is a good snack.

Sha Zhu put a few pieces of rabbit meat and soup in a bowl, and Cai Quanwu took it and went out.

Passing by the gate of Jia's house, Qin Huairu was playing with a stick at the door.

Seeing Cai Quanwu holding the bowl, Qin Huairu asked curiously: "Uncle Cai, what are you doing?"

"I heard that Third Master sprained his back while chasing rabbits. I happened to catch a rabbit today, so I'll give some to Third Master to replenish his body."

Cai Quanwu raised his voice deliberately because he was speaking to Jia Zhang in the room.

When Qin Huairu heard this answer, she immediately thought of her mother-in-law at home.

One of them twisted his waist while sweeping the tomb, and the other fell and hit his mouth.

Qin Huairu didn't know what to say when she thought of this.

Seeing that Qin Huairu didn't speak for a long time, Cai Quanwu said to the stick playing on the ground:

"Bang Geng, come here, I'll give you some meat."

When Banggeng heard this, he ran to Cai Quanwu happily.

Cai Quanwu took a piece of rabbit meat from the bowl and handed it to Banggeng, then told Qin Huairu, "Daughter-in-law Dongxu, this meat is a little spicy, you take care of it, I'm leaving."

Without waiting for Qin Huairu to respond, Cai Quan walked away leisurely.

"Got it, thank you Uncle Cai."

Qin Huairu didn't expect that her son could still get a piece of meat to eat, and she thanked Cai Quanwu from behind.

After Cai Quanwu left, Jia Zhang's dissatisfied voice was heard from the Jia family's room.

"That Cai guy is really a piece of shit. He only knew how to send meat to Old Yan to nourish his body, but he didn't even think of sending some to our family."

As Jia Zhang spoke, she touched her aching lips with her hand.

She fell quite hard and her lips were swollen like a pig's mouth.

Jia Dongxu frowned as he listened, thinking, if he were an outsider, he wouldn't give it to you to eat, given your condition.

How can it be possible in the world to say bad things about others and at the same time expect them to give you gifts?

Uncle Cai may not speak very nicely sometimes, but he is still a nice person.

At least he's nice to the bastards and gives them some delicious food occasionally.

Thinking of this, Jia Dongxu began to persuade Jia Zhang.

"Mom, please stop talking about Uncle Cai behind his back. Look, he treats Bang Geng very well."

"Bullshit, I don't think that Cai has any good intentions."

Jia Zhang was very angry when she thought that her grandson could get a piece of meat to eat while she got nothing.

Seeing that his mother was adamant, Jia Dongxu didn't bother to say anything more.

"Dongxu, look at how badly Mom fell. Why don't you go to the market this afternoon and buy some meat for Mom to eat."

After scolding Cai Quanwu, they took a break and then Jia Zhangshi and Jia Dongxu started to discuss the matter.

Hearing this, Jia Dongxu got angry.

I told you to walk slower and watch your feet, but you just wouldn't listen. You kept rushing forward as if a ghost was chasing you from behind. If I didn't fall, who would I fall over?

Although Jia Dongxu was angry, he was still very rational and did not refuse directly. He knew that if he refused directly, his family would probably be in chaos again. So he said perfunctorily:

"Okay, I'll go to the vegetable market this afternoon and pick some if there's any."

Hearing Jia Dongxu say this, Jia Zhang was very happy and reminded him: "Dongxu, it's better to buy big fat meat, which is good for your body."

"Okay, Mom. I'll go out for a walk."

Jia Dongxu felt that if he stayed at home any longer, he would be unable to hold back and hit someone.

On the other side, Cai Quanwu held a bowl and shouted at the door of the third uncle's house:

"Old Yan, are you home?"

"Old Yan is lying at home." The voice of Auntie San came from the room.

"I heard that he sprained his waist, so I came to take a look." Cai Quanwu said as he pushed the door open and entered the room.

When the third aunt saw the bowl in Cai Quanwu's hand, her eyes lit up and she said quickly:

"Have a seat. I'll go help Old Yan out." Aunt Three said, and hurried into the house.

After the third aunt left, Cai Quanwu put the bowl on the table and sat down.

After a while, the third aunt came out supporting the third uncle.

"Thank you for coming to see me, Lao Cai."

With the help of the three aunts, the third uncle sat opposite Cai Quanwu.

"Old Yan, what is our relationship? Why are you being so polite to me?"

"I fell asleep as soon as I got back. When we were having dinner, I heard Yu Shui say that you sprained your waist while chasing rabbits, so I left a bowl of rabbit meat for you."

"I thought you sprained your waist from chasing rabbits. Eating some rabbit meat will surely help you get better faster."

Cai Quanwu's words sounded sincere, but the third uncle felt very uncomfortable.

Could you please not mention chasing the rabbit?

Thinking of this, the third uncle looked upset.

He failed to catch such a big rabbit.

Touching his aching waist, the third uncle felt that he had suffered a great loss.

However, looking at the bowl of greasy and fragrant rabbit meat on the table, I finally found a little comfort.

Smelling the fragrance, the third uncle swallowed his saliva and said to the third aunt:

"Old Yang, take this rabbit meat to the kitchen and pour it out, and then wash Old Cai's bowl."

When the third aunt heard the third uncle's instructions, she happily took the bowl and went to the kitchen.

After the three aunts left, the third uncle said with emotion:

"Old Cai, you are thoughtful."
