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

Sha Zhu didn't know that his marriage certificate had become a hot topic among the workers in the steel mill.

After fishing for a while, when there was still an hour before the end of the get off work day, Sha Zhu said goodbye to Master Liu and left early.

After leaving the steel mill, thinking about going to Xiao Wu's house for dinner in the evening, Sha Zhu rode his bike to the vegetable market to buy a chicken.

It’s not that Shazhu doesn’t want to buy other vegetables, the key is that there are really not many things to buy in the vegetable market in the afternoon.

After making the purchase, Sha Zhu rushed all the way to the grain store.

After rushing as hard as possible, I finally arrived at the grain store before closing.

After parking the car, Sha Zhu went to Cai Quanwu's cabin first. When he went to Xiao Wu's house in the evening, he would definitely say hello to his uncle first, otherwise he would be scolded when he returned.

"Uncle, I'm going to Xiaoqing's house for dinner tonight. You and Yushui can make something to eat."

As soon as Sha Zhu entered the room, he spoke directly to Cai Quanwu.

"understood."

Cai Quanwu was not surprised at all by this and replied casually, indicating that he already knew about it.

"Okay, uncle, I'll go find Xiaoqing." Sha Zhu didn't plan to stay any longer, so he said hello and ran away.

Cai Quanwu looked at Sha Zhu's back and couldn't help but sigh, most people forget their mothers after getting married, but in Sha Zhu's case, he forgot his sister and uncle.

But it was just a sigh; he didn't feel the same sense of loss as a biological parent.

When the bell rang for the end of get off work, Cai Quanwu packed up his things, locked the door and went home.

I met Xiao Wu and Sha Zhu at the door of the grain store. Xiao Wu politely invited them, "Uncle, why don't you take the rain water and come to my house for dinner."

"Forget it. It's too much trouble to run back and forth. Yu Shui and I can just eat at home. You guys go back. I'll go back too."

Cai Quanwu knew that Xiao Wu was just being polite, so he refused and rode his bike towards the courtyard.

"Do you think uncle will be unhappy?"

Xiao Wu looked at Cai Quanwu riding away on his bike and asked a little nervously.

"What are you thinking about? There's nothing to be unhappy about." Sha Zhu said nonchalantly.

In his heart, his uncle is not such a stingy person.

Seeing Xiao Wu's worried look, Sha Zhu said jokingly:

"Okay, I said it's okay, let's go."

As he spoke, he sat astride the bicycle and motioned Xiao Wu to get on.

After Xiao Wu got on the bike, Sha Zhu rode his bike to Xiao Wu's house.

……

"Old Yan, is your waist okay?"

Cai Quanwu returned to the courtyard and was very surprised to see the third uncle who had not been standing guard at the door for a long time.

This was the first time Cai Quanwu saw the third uncle at the gate of the courtyard since he sprained his waist.

It looks like the waist is completely healed.

"It's been ten days and half a month. If it's not healed yet, it will be troublesome."

When the third uncle heard what Cai Quanwu said, he joked with him.

"That's good. If it's worse, you'll suffer a huge loss." Cai Quan said with a hint of meaning.

When the third uncle heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched with pain.

It's just a huge loss.

Not to mention the yellow paper he burned secretly that night, he later felt unbearable pain, so in order to insist on going to work, he asked his wife to buy two sets of dog-skin plasters from Sun Mazi, the man who sold dog-skin plasters in Yard 93.

Sun Mazi didn't give any face to him, the manager of No. 95 Courtyard, and accepted a huge sum of two cents from their family.

In addition, there was no guarding during this period, and the losses were huge when you counted everything.

Therefore, as soon as his waist recovered, the third uncle immediately went to work and tried to recover the losses as soon as possible.

"Old Cai, look at what you said. It's inevitable that people don't have headaches and fevers. The money that should be spent still needs to be spent."

Although the third uncle felt distressed, he said that he didn't care.

"Old Yan, what you said makes sense."

"When you are alive, you have to spend money when it is necessary. It would be tragic if others have lost their money but you have not spent it all."

Cai Quanwu used a teasing tone to imply the third uncle.

"That can't be."

It was not known whether the third uncle really did not understand or was pretending not to understand what Cai Quanwu meant, and he replied casually.

"Well, that's good, Old Yan. I also heard from people in the store that there was a neighbor who was about your age, named Wang Laoliu. He was sick and couldn't bear to go to the hospital. Eventually his condition worsened and he died in the hospital. I was inspired to write this."

"I'm just saying this, don't take it to heart."

Cai Quanwu created a neighbor out of thin air and made up a person at random.

"Is there still this?"

The third uncle didn't know that Cai Quanwu had made it up on purpose, so he asked suspiciously.

"That's not."

"Oh, I just feel pity for Wang Laoliu's wife and three children. If his wife remarries with the children, the man who takes over will be blessed."

"Old Yan, think about it. Not only can that man sleep with Wang Laoliu's wife, he can also spend his money and beat his three children. His life would be so comfortable."

Cai Quanwu told the jokes he saw on the Internet in later generations to his uncle, and at the same time helped him broaden his horizons.

The third uncle recalled the scene described by Cai Quanwu in his mind and couldn't help but shudder all over.

Regardless of whether what Cai Quanwu said was true or false, he didn't want to be the next Wang Laoliu.

NM can't just bear the illness in the future. He has a lot of savings and he can't let it go to other men for nothing.

Just as he thought of this, the third uncle suddenly woke up, with a bitter smile on his face. He didn't expect that he would be involved in Cai Quanwu's words.

No wonder I could relate to this story. It turns out this story is mocking myself.

After thinking about this, the third uncle couldn't help but shake his head. This Cai guy didn't even use any swear words when he cursed.

Isn't it just mocking yourself for being stingy, but you even make up a story about it.

But if he is not stingy, where would his huge fortune come from?

Therefore, the third uncle could only pretend to be confused about Cai Quanwu’s words.

"Old Cai, you know what, this Wang Laoliu is really pitiful."

"Yes, that's why I feel so inspired."

"Okay, Old Yan, I'm going back now, you continue."

Cai Quanwu felt bored when he saw that the third uncle didn't react, so he pushed the cart into the yard.

After Cai Quanwu left, the third uncle said to himself:

"I, Old Yan, was not brought up to be scared."

"The Japanese were so fierce, but they didn't scare me when they occupied Beijing. You think you can scare me with just one story? You are overthinking it."

Cai Quanwu didn't expect that the third uncle could imagine so much.

His original intention was just to tease the uncle and make a joke.

After returning home, Cai Quanwu parked the car and walked towards Sha Zhu's house.

The door of Sha Zhu's house was open, and He Yushui was lying on the table doing homework.

"Yushui, your brother won't be home for dinner tonight, so let's cook some noodles for dinner, what do you think?"

Cai Quanwu walked in, walked to He Yushui and started discussing things with her.

"Where is my brother?" He Yushui raised his head and asked.

"I went to your sister-in-law's house."

Since Sha Zhu and Xiao Wu have already registered, Cai Quanwu changed the name.

"You must have gone to Sister Xiao Wu's house."

He Yushui seemed uncomfortable with the address Cai Quanwu gave her and continued to call her Sister Xiao Wu.

"Silly girl, your brother and Sister Xiao Wu registered their marriage today. You have to call me sister-in-law from now on. Do you understand?"

Cai Quanwu flicked He Yushui's head and said with a smile.

"Uncle, I understand. It's not the same person."

"Go make some noodles. I still have to do my homework."

He Yushui seemed unhappy with Cai Quanwu flicking her head, and urged Cai Quanwu to cook noodles.

"Okay, uncle will show you his skills tonight. Let's have egg noodles tonight."

Cai Quanwu finished speaking and left with a smile.
