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

The days are as dull as water, passing one by one.

During this period, both the courtyard and the grain store were very peaceful, nothing happened, and Cai Quanwu went to and from get off work safely.

Ever since Cai Quanwu gave the master some advice that day, the master never came to see Cai Quanwu again. It might be that Cai Quanwu's advice worked, and the neighborhood committee was looking for a suitable partner for him.

After being lectured by Cai Quanwu that day, Jia Dongxu rarely appeared in the courtyard. It was unknown whether he listened to what was said.

In the grain store hut, Cai Quanwu tidied up and prepared to go off work.

Tomorrow is a day off, and Cai Quanwu plans to go to Guan's house to meet his future mother-in-law and find out if he can find some time to get the certificate with Guan Jiaqi first.

Now that he sees Sha Zhu and Xiao Wu as a couple every day, Cai Quan no longer feels lonely and starts to get agitated.

He thought he could remain calm and keep a normal mind, but he didn't expect that he still couldn't resist the corrosion of love.

Let’s be frank and stop pretending. He misses women.

In order to calm his restless heart, Cai Quanwu decided to speed up and try to marry Guan Jiaqi as soon as possible.

……

The next day.

Cai Quanwu slept until he woke up naturally. After getting up, washing up, he went to Sha Zhu's house, preparing to bring some braised meat for Guan's mother to try.

There was no one at Sha Zhu's home. They had agreed last night that he and his wife would take He Yushui to Xiao Wu's house and pick up Wu Chu and Wu Yue to go out and play together.

After taking some braised meat from Sha Zhu's house, Cai Quanwu pushed the cart out and rode his bike straight to Guan's house.

When they were almost at the courtyard where the Guan family lived, Cai Quanwu saw from afar Guan's mother and several women sitting at the gate of the courtyard chatting.

"Auntie."

Cai Quanwu rode his bike to the front of the yard, stopped beside the wall, and went forward to call for help.

Guan's mother was very surprised to see Cai Quanwu, because her daughter was not at home today.

But he still showed great enthusiasm.

"Xiao Cai is here."

After greeting Cai Quanwu, Guan's mother said to the women around her, "Okay, you guys chat. We have guests at home. I'll be home first."

As she spoke, Guan's mother took Cai Quanwu and walked into the yard.

As soon as they left, the remaining women began to discuss:

"Who is this? I haven't heard that the Guan family has any relatives."

"They're probably not relatives."

"I know that. This guy came here last time. He should be Jiaqi's boyfriend."

"No way, I think this guy is good-looking, how could he fall for Guan Jiaqi, who looks like a foreigner and is so ugly."

"You know what, different people have different tastes."

……

Cai Quanwu and Guan's mother were of course unaware of the discussions behind them. As soon as they entered the door, Guan's mother curiously said:

"Xiao Cai, why are you here today? Xiao Qi didn't come back yesterday."

Guan's mother thought Cai Quanwu was looking for Guan Jiaqi.

"Aunt, I know Jiaqi hasn't come back. It's just my day off, so I came to see you." Cai Quanwu explained with a smile that he was not here to look for Guan Jiaqi, but to come and see her specially.

When Guan's mother heard this, she was very happy and couldn't stop smiling.

She originally thought that Cai Quanwu was here to look for his daughter, but unexpectedly he was here to see her.

Xiao Cai is a good kid. He knows to visit her when he has time.

"You kid, you ran so far to see me. I'm full and have enough to drink. What's so good about it?" Although Guan's mother was happy in her heart, she blamed Cai Quanwu.

Cai Quanwu of course understood that Guan's mother's words should be interpreted in reverse, and said with a smile:

"I have nothing to do, so I came to take a look and bring you some braised meat."

As he spoke, he took out an oil paper bag from his bag and put it on the table.

Before she could continue, Guan's mother saw the oil paper bag and complained:

"You kid, you haven't finished eating the meat you brought back last time, why are you bringing more meat? I can't eat so much by myself."

"Aunt, this is the braised meat made by my nephew. He is a chef and it tastes delicious. I'll bring some over to try." Hearing Guan's mother's complaints, Cai Quanwu had to explain.

"Okay, thank you, auntie."

"Xiao Cai, please sit down. I'll pour you some water."

"okay."

Guan's mother asked to pour him some water, and Cai Quanwu agreed without hesitation with a smile.

"Xiao Cai, your aunt will cook dinner later and you can eat at home at noon." Guan's mother poured a glass of water and handed it to Cai Quanwu, warmly inviting Cai Quanwu to eat at home.

"Then I have to eat two more bowls. Jiaqi said that the food cooked by her aunt is delicious." Cai Quanwu did not refuse and used Guan Jiaqi's name to flatter her mother.

It’s already past ten o’clock, and it’s just time for dinner when the meal is ready.

"Okay, wait a minute, I'll go prepare it. Eat more later." Guan's mother seemed to be very pleased with Cai Quanwu's flattery, and went to prepare lunch with a smile.

While Guan's mother went to the kitchen to busy herself, Cai Quanwu sat in the living room smoking and drinking water.

After working for about an hour, at around eleven o'clock, Guan's mother prepared three dishes and a soup and invited Cai Quanwu to eat.

Cai Quanwu was very considerate and ate two large bowls.

During the meal, the two of them ate and talked. Cai Quanwu tentatively mentioned the matter of getting a marriage certificate with Guan Jiaqi. Guan's mother did not object, but just let the two of them make their own decision.

After hearing this, Cai Quanwu felt that his trip today was not in vain.

As long as Guan's mother agrees, there will be no problem. Guan Jiaqi will definitely not object.

It just so happens that Guan Jiaqi will be back on the next weekend, and Cai Quanwu is prepared to discuss with everyone on that day and pick a time to get the certificate.

As for the banquet, Cai Quan's idea was similar to Guan Jiaqi's. Just invite a few people, have a meal, and serve as a witness.

Otherwise, holding two banquets a month would be too high-profile for Tsai.

Of course, this is just Cai Quanwu’s idea, and he will still have to discuss it with Guan Jiaqi and her daughter when the time comes.

After lunch, Cai Quanwu stayed for a while and chatted with Guan's mother about family matters before he said goodbye and rode home.

Cai Quanwu rode his bike back to the courtyard and saw He Yushui, Wu Chu, Wu Yue and a group of children playing the game of "Eagle Catches Chicken" in the alley at the gate.

Seeing that they were having fun, Cai Quanwu didn't call them and pushed the cart directly into the yard.

As soon as he entered the Central Court, Cai Quanwu saw many people gathered in the courtyard chatting together.

Sha Zhu and Xiao Wu were also listening with great interest.

Cai Quanwu parked the car, went home, took off his shoulder bag and hung it up, took his teacup, and prepared to join in the fun.

"uncle."

"Uncle Cai."

"Uncle Cai."

……

Cai Quanwu approached and a group of young people greeted him enthusiastically.

Several older women smiled at Cai Quanwu as a greeting.

After saying hello, Xiao Wu kicked Sha Zhu and said unhappily, "Why don't you let me sit on the stool?"

After Xiao Wu said that, Sha Zhu finally reacted. He smiled, stood up and gave the stool to Cai Quanwu, and then squatted down next to Xiao Wu.

Cai Quanwu sat down without hesitation, put the teacup on the ground, and joked:

"Xiaoqing is still very perceptive, unlike Zhuzi, whose reaction is always a step slower than others."

When everyone heard this, they all looked at Sha Zhu with a smile.

Sha Zhu's face turned red and he looked unconvinced. I gave the stool to you, and you actually made fun of me.

But I only dared to think about it in my mind and didn't dare to say it out loud.

At this time, the second aunt suddenly interrupted and started joking with Cai Quanwu.

"Uncle Zhuzi, Shazhu is already married, when are you going to get married? You are not really going to wait for Shazhu to take care of you in your old age, are you?"

When Cai Quanwu heard this, his face turned dark. At that time, he was just joking about letting Sha Zhu take care of her in her old age, but he didn't expect that Second Aunt would bring it up to make fun of him today.

He wanted to say that it's not that I can't have children, but when he saw an old lady here, it seemed like he was implying something, so he changed his words and said with a fake smile:

"It's almost time. Ask Lao Liu to prepare the gift money first."
