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

Cai Quanwu and Guan Jiaqi agreed to take the lead and walk to the front yard, followed closely by Guan Jiaqi and He Yushui.

He planned to do it in order, starting with the front yard.

When he arrived at the front yard, Cai Quanwu did not go to the third uncle's house first, but started with a few passers-by.

It took about ten minutes to visit several households of passers-by and Wang Tiezhu's house.

These families were very surprised that Cai Quanwu got the marriage certificate quietly. What was even more surprising was that they did not expect Cai Quanwu to marry a foreign wife.

Tsai Quanwu didn't care about their unexpected behavior, as they didn't have much interaction to begin with.

Except for Wang Tiezhu, who is a little familiar, the others are familiar strangers.

After visiting these stores, Cai Quanwu brought Guan Jiaqi and He Yushui to the Third Uncle and stood at the door and shouted inside:

"Old Yan, have you eaten?"

It was dinner time, and since the third uncle got off work early, their family had always been the first to eat in the compound.

"I'm eating."

"Old Cai, what's up?"

First, the voice of the Third Uncle was heard in the room, followed by the sound of a stool being moved. Cai Quanwu guessed that the Third Uncle should have gotten up and come out.

Sure enough, in less than a minute, the third uncle appeared in front of Cai Quanwu.

Looking at Cai Quanwu, Guan Jiaqi and He Yushui, the third uncle was puzzled as to why Cai Quanwu was looking for him now.

"Old Yan, this is my wife, Guan Jiaqi, you've met her too. We just got our marriage certificate today. So I brought her here to introduce herself to the family." When he saw the third uncle, Cai Quanwu didn't waste any time and got straight to business.

The third uncle was stunned for a moment, then reacted and said enthusiastically: "Hello, Comrade Guan, I am the third uncle in the courtyard, Yan Bugui. You can call me Old Yan or Teacher Yan. I am a teacher at Hongxing Primary School."

"Hello, Mr. Yan, we are neighbors from now on. Please take care of me."

"Here, Teacher Yan, this is our wedding candy."

Guan Jiaqi exchanged pleasantries with the third uncle and took out a handful of candy from her bag and handed it over.

"Oh, thank you, Comrade Guan." The third uncle took the candy and thanked with a smile.

"Teacher Yan, you are too polite." Guan Jiaqi was being polite to the third uncle.

After the two of them finished their pleasantries, Cai Quanwu, who didn't want to talk much to the Third Uncle, took out a cigarette from his pocket, handed it to him, and said goodbye:

"Okay, Old Yan, you eat. We're leaving first. We haven't been to the middle and back yards yet."

"Okay, you guys go ahead and get busy." The third uncle took the cigarette and replied with a smile.

"gone."

Cai Quanwu said something, then turned and left with Guan Jiaqi and He Yushui.

After Cai Quanwu and the others walked away, the third uncle suddenly remembered Cai Quanwu's reminder to him at that time, and he seemed to understand it, muttering to himself:

"So that's how it is. No wonder they put a accusation on me. They've been targeting me for a long time."

"I heard that this girl is a classmate of Shazhu's wife. Old Cai is trying to get the upper hand this time."

"Bah, vile."

After the third uncle finished talking to himself, he put the candy in his pocket. He couldn't take out all the candy, as he thought, he would just give one to each of the children to sweeten their mouths later.

Turning back to the house, the third uncle was just sitting down to eat, and the third aunt asked curiously, "What does Mr. Cai want to talk to you about?"

The third aunt and the others were in the room and couldn't hear clearly, so they didn't know what Cai Quanwu and the third uncle said.

When the third uncle heard the third aunt ask this, he put down his chopsticks and said with a chuckle:

"Mr. Cai got married and brought his wife here to meet the family."

"Ah? Mr. Cai got married? How come there was no news at all?" The third aunt was very surprised. It was so sudden and there was no news in the courtyard.

"You don't know who his wife is. If you knew, you wouldn't think so." The third uncle kept it a secret.

"Who is it? Do we know each other?" After the third uncle said this, the third aunt became more curious.

"I know her. She has been to our yard more than once. I was wondering why that girl always came to our yard. It turns out she was waiting for us here." The third uncle looked like a wise man after the event.

"Come to our yard? Who is it?" The third aunt didn't think of Guan Jiaqi at first. After thinking for a while, she couldn't figure out who it was.

"It's the classmate of Shazhu's wife, the girl who looks like a foreigner." This time the third uncle didn't keep the reader in suspense and said it directly.

"It's her. I have an impression of her." When the third uncle mentioned Guan Jiaqi, the third aunt immediately remembered who she was.

After all, it wasn’t long since Sha Zhu held his wedding.

"On the day when Sha Zhu held the wedding banquet, it seemed that both mother and daughter came."

The third aunt thought of Guan’s mother who was with Guan Jiaqi that day.

"Mr. Cai had planned this long ago, otherwise he wouldn't have asked his mother-in-law to come. By then, they were probably almost done talking about the marriage and were just waiting to get the marriage certificate."

"No, as soon as I got the certificate, I brought it back immediately."

"Tsk tsk, that girl is about the same age as Sha Zhu's wife. Old Cai is an old man with a young wife." The third uncle was a little envious of Cai Quanwu, and his tone unconsciously sounded sour.

"What? Are you envious?" The third aunt felt that the third uncle's tone was wrong and immediately became alert.

I thought to myself, the old man hasn't plowed the land for a long time, and he has some ideas. I have to make him plow the land properly at night to put down his unrealistic ideas.

"No no."

"Eat, eat, the food is getting cold."

The third uncle felt guilty and denied it immediately.

……

Cai Quanwu didn't know about the conversation at the third uncle's house. At this time, he had already brought Guan Jiaqi and He Yushui to the door of the Jia family.

Cai Quanwu was just about to knock on the door when Jia Dongxu happened to open the door and was about to come out of the house with a stick, almost bumping into him.

"Uncle Cai, is there something wrong?" Jia Dongxu stood in the room and asked curiously at the people in front of him.

"My uncle got married and got his marriage certificate today, and brought his wife here to meet the family. So I came to visit your house." Cai Quanwu explained with a smile why he came to the Jia family.

"Oh oh." Jia Dongxu was a little dumbfounded. When he saw Guan Jiaqi behind Cai Quanwu, he realized that this woman was the daughter-in-law that Uncle Cai mentioned.

However, isn’t this the classmate of Shazhu’s wife?

"Hello, Comrade Jia." Guan Jiaqi greeted Jia Dongxu.

Although it was not the first time they met, it was the first time they spoke.

"Hello,..." Jia Dongxu, like Sha Zhu, didn't know how to address Guan Jiaqi for a moment.

He is not like Sha Zhu, who can humble himself and call Guan Jiaqi "Auntie".

There was nothing Sha Zhu could do about it. Cai Quanwu was his uncle, so Guan Jiaqi was naturally his elder, otherwise he wouldn't have called her that.

Jia Dongxu is different. We are just neighbors in the yard and have no relationship at all.

He really couldn't bring himself to call a woman younger than himself "Auntie".

Just as Jia Dongxu was hesitating, Qin Huairu's voice came from the room:

"Dongxu, who is it?"

Jia Dongxu was feeling awkward, but when he heard Qin Huairu asking him, he seemed to have met a savior, and immediately shouted into the house, "Huairu, Uncle Cai is here with his wife, come over and meet him."

There were two people in the room, Qin Huairu was cleaning the table, and Jia Zhang was digesting her food on the side. When they heard what Jia Dongxu said, they looked at each other and were both shocked.

There was no sign at all, and Tsai Quanwu got married?

Afterwards, Qin Huairu didn't bother to clean up the table, and Jia Zhang also stood up from the stool, and the two walked out together.

They all wanted to see what Cai Quanwu's wife looked like.
