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

After Cai Quanwu finished his introduction, Xiao Wu looked up and smiled at the chef, then continued eating his noodles.

She was not familiar with the master. She had only met him but never spoken to him.

When the master heard Cai Quanwu's introduction, he said "Oh", then sighed and said, "If my child were still alive, he would be about the same age as this girl."

"Pity."

"But, Master, we still have to look forward while we are still alive."

Cai Quanwu recalled the unbearable years in his previous life's memory and comforted the master.

"Yes, we have to look forward." The master murmured to himself.

Seeing the master's look, Cai Quanwu quickly changed the subject.

"Then Master, eat the noodles first. If you don't, the noodles will become clumpy."

Without changing the subject, let's continue talking. If the master is unable to get over it and wants to go after his wife and children, he will be committing a serious sin.

"Okay, you guys eat first, I'll finish my cigarette then eat." The chef responded politely.

Cai Quanwu nodded, said no more, picked up his chopsticks and started eating.

After taking a few bites, Cai Quanwu led the conversation and started chatting with the chef.

"Then Master, have you ever thought about finding another one?"

"I'm too old now, I don't want to think about this anymore." The master said with a smile.

"Then Master, don't think I'm nagging you. I think you still need to find someone who can at least give you a drink when you're sick."

"Besides, you are in good health now, so it's okay. But if you are old and no one is looking after you, it will be difficult to cure your stuttering."

"It's better to find one sooner. If you bring your son here, you'll have someone to break pots with in the future."

“Also, what if the old tree blooms?”

Cai Quanwu gave the master a brainwashing speech, which made the master frown.

The master was used to seeing life and death, so he didn't care about Cai Quanwu's other words.

But the sentence at the end, "The old tree is blooming," moved his heart.

He also didn't want to become a family without a son, that's why he ate white flour for every meal.

Rather than letting his entire family be eaten up after his death, it is better to squander his wealth while he is still alive. At least this will not be taken advantage of by outsiders.

The reason why Yi Zhonghai desperately wanted to find someone to take care of him in his old age after he found out he couldn’t have children: He didn’t want to be left with nothing.

The world was in chaos in the past, and the master had never thought about this.

Life is peaceful now, but people emphasize freedom of marriage. It is no longer like the past when you could marry several concubines if you had money.

"Is there a chance?" the master asked uncertainly.

"Who can say for sure?" Cai Quanwu said vaguely when he saw that the master was tempted.

While speaking, he looked around, indicating to the master that this was not a good place to talk.

Cai Quanwu was afraid that the master would not be tempted. As long as he was tempted, he would have the opportunity to fool the master.

He didn't mean to harm the master. If the plan was really accomplished and the master lived a good life, considering the personalities of Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu, the master should be able to enjoy his old age in peace.

In Cai Quanwu's contacts, neither Jia Dongxu nor Qin Huairu were mean and ungrateful people. It could only be said that they had some small thoughts.

But who doesn’t have some little thoughts?

Everyone has their own little thoughts.

If this happens, it may change the fate of many people.

If he had jumped out of the courtyard, maybe nothing would have happened to Jia Dongxu. If nothing had happened to him, Qin Huairu would not have turned evil and transformed into a white lotus, and Jia Zhangshi would not have to experience the pain of losing her son.

As for the master, no matter whether the old tree can bloom or not, at least there will be someone to take care of him in his old age, so that he will not face the tragedy of having his body discovered only after his death and stinking.

It's a good thing for everyone.

The master saw Cai Quanwu's actions and understood them.

"Xiao Cai, I'm too impatient. This is really not the place to talk. I'll talk to you later. Let's have some noodles."

The chef was in a good mood now and no longer worried. He invited Cai Quanwu to eat noodles.

After they finished their noodles, they walked out of the noodle shop together. The chef said to Cai Quanwu enthusiastically, "Xiao Cai, I'm going to go home first. I'll find you in the shop later."

"okay."

The master said goodbye to Cai Quanwu and walked home excitedly alone.

Cai Quanwu went back to the grain store with Xiao Wu.

On the way, Xiao Wu asked curiously: "Uncle, why did you talk so much to that master?"

Cai Quanwu certainly would not tell Xiao Wu what he was thinking, but said sincerely:

"It must be to do good things, otherwise what else can you do."

"Don't you think it would be pitiful for an old man to be alone and helpless when he grows old?"

Seeing that Cai Quanwu spoke seriously, Xiao Wu believed it.

"Uncle, you are such a good man."

Cai Quanwu didn't expect that Xiao Wu would actually give him the nice guy card. He thought that most people in this era are still simple and naive.

Back at the grain store, Cai Quanwu and Xiao Wu separated.

Cai Quanwu returned to his hut, sat on a stool, took the cigarette that the master had just handed to him from his ear, put it in his mouth and lit it.

He took a puff and pulled out his watch to check the time.

I had originally planned to deliver the two kilograms of venison that I promised to Brother Wang at noon, but I didn't expect to run into the chef in the noodle shop, which delayed me. Now it's too late and I have to go to work soon, so I'd better talk about it tomorrow.

A short while after work in the afternoon, Cai Quanwu was sitting in the house drinking tea when he heard the roar of a car engine outside. He knew that food had been delivered to the institute.

Well, the idea of ​​taking a relaxing afternoon off is ruined.

……

After a busy afternoon, Cai Quanwu was covered in dust. While riding his bike, Xiao Wu patted Cai Quanwu with his hands and complained, "Uncle, you don't even know how to pat the dust off your body. You are so dirty."

"Go back and take it off, and I'll wash it for you."

After hearing what Xiao Wu said, Cai Quanwu thought to himself, now that Sha Zhu has married, he doesn't have to hang out his clothes to wash anymore.

After investing so much, I finally got some returns.

Cai Quanwu brought Xiao Wu back to the courtyard. Before they got out of the car, He Yushui came up to them and called for help.

"Uncle, sister-in-law."

Xiao Wu got out of the car, held He Yushui's hand and walked home, asking as he walked, "Yushui, have you finished your homework?"

"It's written."

Cai Quanwu pushed the cart and followed the two people home. Looking at them talking and laughing, he couldn't help but think that it would be of great benefit to He Yushui if Sha Zhu got married early.

There are many things that women can do more conveniently and carefully than men.

After returning to the yard, Cai Quanwu parked the car, went home to get the teacup, and went to Sha Zhu's house.

Cai Quanwu walked closer and saw Xiao Wu and He Yu in the kitchen, watching Sha Zhu cook.

Sha Zhu was stirring the food in the pan with a spatula while saying something excitedly.

I guess he was bragging to Xiao Wu.

It was not until Cai Quanwu walked to the kitchen door and Sha Zhu saw Cai Quanwu that he stopped talking and greeted Cai Quanwu.

"Uncle, you are here."

Cai Quanwu didn't say anything, but smiled and nodded at Sha Zhu as a response.

Looking at Sha Zhu who is now full of energy, Cai Quanwu thought that age is a good thing and recovery is fast.

The Shazhu now doesn't look like the overindulged man he was in the morning at all.

After Cai Quanwu arrived, Sha Zhu continued to stir fry in the pot for a while and shouted, "Stir-fried venison, it's ready."

As he spoke, he used a spatula to scoop the food from the pot onto a plate beside him.

After serving the dishes, Sha Zhu smiled and said, "Alright. It's time to eat."

Then a few people picked up the food and walked towards the living room.

When the food was served, Sha Zhu brought a bottle of wine and said to Cai Quanwu with a smile, "Uncle, let's drink something."

Cai Quanwu glanced at Sha Zhu and said slowly, "Bring the wine over here."

Sha Zhu didn't understand what Cai Quanwu meant and was stunned for a moment. Usually he was the one who poured wine for Cai Quanwu, so did something different happen today?

Although he didn't understand what Cai Quanwu meant, Sha Zhu still handed the wine over.

Cai Quanwu took the wine and said directly: "Zhu Zi, I will drink this wine alone, you don't have to drink it, hurry up and eat."
