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

Cai Quanwu brushed his teeth and before leaving, he couldn't help but patted Sha Zhu on the shoulder and said earnestly, "Zhu Zi, cook some venison tonight to nourish yourself."

Sha Zhu looked at Cai Quanwu's departing back with a confused look on his face.

What does this mean, uncle? Does he need to replenish his body?

Sha Zhu couldn't figure it out and just stood there, wondering what Cai Quan meant.

Xiao Wu walked out of the house in an awkward manner to wash up. He came to Sha Zhu and saw him in a daze. He pushed him and asked curiously, "Brother Zhu, what are you thinking about?"

Sha Zhu came back to his senses after being pushed by Xiao Wu.

"Nothing. My uncle just told me to cook some venison to nourish my body in the evening. I was wondering, why does my body still need nourishment?" Sha Zhu looked puzzled.

Sha Zhu didn't understand, but Xiao Wu's face turned red instantly after hearing what Sha Zhu said.

Women mature earlier than men. When Xiao Wu heard what Sha Zhu said, he knew what Cai Quanwu meant.

It’s just that it’s hard to tell Sha Zhu, so I can only pretend to be confused and persuade Sha Zhu.

"Brother Zhuzi, uncle said, so you should listen to him. Why think so much? Uncle won't harm you."

Sha Zhu scratched his head, thought for a while and then said, "That's right, then I'll listen to you and cook venison when I get home tonight."

"I'll show you my skills. I guarantee you'll want more after eating it."

Looking at Sha Zhu's narcissistic expression, Xiao Wu thought, no wonder he is called Sha Zhu.

But it’s better this way. Just like my mother said, men who are too smart are hard to grasp.

"Okay, you just brag, have you finished washing? If you have, let me go."

Xiao Wu acted coquettishly towards Sha Zhu and pushed him aside.

"Okay, okay, you wash it, I'll get you a basin." Sha Zhu was attentive to Xiao Wu.

After Xiao Wu finished washing, the couple returned home together.

Cai Quanwu knew that Sha Zhu didn't make breakfast, so he washed up, went home, packed up, and prepared to go to work.

But before going to work, he still has to call Xiao Wu.

"Xiaoqing, it's time to go to work." When Cai Quanwu arrived at the door of Sha Zhu's house, he shouted into the house.

"I'm coming, uncle, wait a moment." Xiao Wu replied from inside the house.

After hearing Xiao Wu's answer, Cai Quanwu went home and pushed the cart.

After a while, Xiao Wu came out of the house, but his walking posture was a little strange.

Seeing Xiao Wu going out, Cai pushed the cart out of the yard.

When they arrived outside the yard, Cai Quanwu asked Xiao Wu to sit on his bike first in order to greet her, and then he rode his bike to the grain store.

When passing by a steamed bun shop, Cai Quanwu stopped the car and bought a few steamed buns as breakfast for the two of them.

Cai Quanwu and Xiao Wu arrived at the grain store and happened to meet Sister Zhao who was about to enter.

Seeing the two of them, Sister Zhao couldn't help but tease them.

"Xiao Wu, you will have a private car from now on."

Cai Quanwu used his feet to push Xiao Wu off the car, and replied to Sister Zhao: "What special car? Let Zhuzi give the car to Xiao Qing and he can just walk to work."

"The steel mill is not far from home. It only takes 20 minutes to walk there. It can be considered as exercise."

When Xiao Wu got off the car, he blushed again when he heard the words "exercise".

She always felt that there was something else behind Cai Quanwu's words.

"You are such a great uncle, treating your nephew like this." Sister Zhao couldn't help but teasing Cai Quanwu.

"I'm too lazy to care about you."

Cai Quan was unable to hear the sarcasm in Sister Zhao's words, so he parked the car, took his two buns and went straight to his cabin.

After Cai Quanwu left, Sister Zhao and Xiao Wu looked at each other and walked towards the grain point.

After walking a few steps, Sister Zhao noticed Xiao Wu's abnormality. A hint of understanding appeared in her eyes, and she leaned over to Xiao Wu's ear and whispered something.

When Xiao Wu heard Sister Zhao's whisper, her face turned red all the way to her neck. She patted Sister Zhao with her hand and said shyly, "Sister Zhao, you are so mean."

"Tsk, we've all been through this, there's nothing to be embarrassed about." Sister Zhao said disapprovingly.

For married women, telling dirty jokes is an indispensable topic of daily gossip.

It’s just that Xiao Wu is not used to it yet.

However, after entering the store, Sister Zhao didn't say anything to Xiao Wu.

The main reason is that there are two grown men in the store.

……

After fishing for the whole morning, at noon, as they didn't bring any lunch, Cai Quanwu called Xiao Wu to go to a nearby noodle restaurant for lunch.

Walking into the noodle shop, Cai Quanwu saw a familiar face.

So, Cai Quanwu said to Xiao Wu behind him: "Xiao Qing, go order two bowls of noodles. I'll go say hello to the chef."

"Okay." Xiao Wu agreed and went to the waiter to order noodles.

Cai Quanwu walked straight to the chef's seat, sat down opposite him, and said with a smile: "What a coincidence, chef, you are eating noodles here too."

The chef was eating noodles with his head down. When he heard someone calling him, he looked up and thought for a while before saying:

"You are Xiao Cai from the food store, right?"

The master thought for a while and finally remembered who Cai Quanwu was.

"You have a really good memory." Cai Quanwu gave the master a thumbs up.

"Of course, my eyes are very bright." said the master proudly.

"Master, have we run out of food at home again?" Cai Quanwu ignored the master's boasting and asked with pretended concern.

"No, I'm alone and too lazy to cook, so I just come here to have a bite." The chef took a bite of noodles and said slowly.

"Then Master, do you live nearby?" Cai Quanwu asked curiously when he heard this. He really didn't know where the master lived exactly.

"He must live nearby, otherwise why would he come to your store to buy food." The master felt that Cai Quanwu should not ask such a question.

"Yes, yes, I didn't react at the moment. If you come out to eat, won't the children scold you?" Cai Quanwu smiled self-deprecatingly, then pretended not to know the master's situation and asked casually.

Hearing Cai Quanwu's question, the master's mood suddenly became gloomy. He sighed and said, "There was chaos in the past few years. My children and my spouse are gone. Now I am the only one left."

"I'm sorry, Master, I don't know your situation." Cai Quanwu quickly apologized with a sincere look on his face.

"It's okay, I'm used to it." The master waved his hand to show that he didn't care.

What Cai Quanwu said must have had a great impact on the chef. He put down his chopsticks and stopped eating noodles. Instead, he took out a cigarette, handed it to Cai Quanwu, and lit one for himself.

The master took a few puffs of his cigarette, seemed to recall the past, and slowly spoke:

"This is life."

"If it's put on hold until now, even if they can't live a good life, at least they won't lose their lives."

"Yes, it's peaceful now." Cai Quanwu echoed the master's words.

"Forget it, let's not talk about that. Why do you come here to eat noodles?" The chef seemed not to want to continue the previous topic and asked Cai Quanwu.

"I didn't bring any lunch today, so I'm just here to have a meal like you." Cai Quanwu replied with a smile.

As he was speaking, Xiao Wu came over with two bowls of noodles.

"Uncle, your noodles."

Xiao Wu placed a bowl of noodles in front of Cai Quanwu, nodded to the chef, then sat down beside him and started eating.

"What is this?" The master was a little confused. He knew this girl. This was not the first or second time he had gone to the grain store to buy noodles from her.

But he didn't know about the relationship between Xiao Wu and Cai Quanwu.

"My niece's wife." Cai Quanwu solved the master's doubts.
