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

"Uncle Cai, wait for me. I keep my word." Jia Dongxu agreed very readily.

The reason for this was that Jia Dongxu drank a lot of alcohol at night.

It was okay in the store and I was able to keep a clear head. But after I came out, the wind blew and I was still a little drunk.

People who are drunk are usually very excited and like to brag. Jia Dongxu is no exception.

He said all these words while he was drunk, and he would probably forget them all once he sobered up.

Jia Zhang and Qin Huai were still excited at this time and didn't care about Jia Dongxu's promise to treat Cai Quanwu to dinner.

They all knew in their hearts that it was just drunken talk and no one would take it seriously.

Returning to the courtyard, they gently pushed open the gate and walked into the courtyard at a slow pace.

It feels a bit sneaky.

When they arrived at the middle courtyard, Cai Quanwu and the Jia family nodded and pushed the door to go home.

The sound of Cai Quanwu pushing the door startled Guan Jiaqi who was lying on the kang. He had just hung his bag on the wall when Guan Jiaqi walked out of the bedroom.

"Why did you come back so late?" Guan Jiaqi asked with concern after coming out.

"I had a few drinks and had a great time chatting, so I came back late. Wife, why haven't you slept yet?" Cai Quanwu heard Guan Jiaqi's voice, turned around and explained.

"How can I sleep if you're not back?" Guan Jiaqi rolled her eyes at Cai Quanwu and said unhappily when she heard him asking the question even though she knew the answer.

"Haha."

"Wife, wait a moment. I'll come and sleep with you as soon as I'm done."

Cai Quanwu smiled and joked with Guan Jiaqi, then walked to the washstand to wash up.

"What nonsense are you talking about." Guan Jiaqi felt a little embarrassed by Cai Quanwu's flirtatious words, and said coquettishly with a red face.

Cai Quanwu was washing up. When he heard Guan Jiaqi's words, he smiled, did not respond, and continued washing.

After Cai Quanwu finished washing up, Guan Jiaqi went back to the bedroom with Cai Quanwu to rest.

……

The next day.

After Guan Jiaqi went to work, Cai Quanwu got up slowly, brushed his teeth and washed his face.

After doing all this, Cai Quanwu wandered to Sha Zhu's house and prepared to have breakfast.

"uncle."

"uncle."

Sha Zhu and Xiao Wu came out of the kitchen carrying food, saw Cai Quanwu and greeted him.

Cai Quanwu nodded, followed them into the living room.

They sat down at the table and started eating.

As for He Yushui, everyone automatically ignored her when eating breakfast.

Anyway, she will appear naturally when you are halfway through the meal.

"Uncle, what did you do last night?" Sha Zhu asked curiously while eating steamed buns.

"Didn't I tell Xiaoqing that someone invited us to dinner?" Cai Quanwu didn't tell the truth and just answered Sha Zhu casually.

"oh oh."

"Uncle, where are we going to eat?"

Sha Zhu didn't realize the perfunctory tone in Cai Quanwu's words and kept asking.

“I went…”

Cai Quanwu almost said that they went to Quanjude, but when he was about to say it, he thought it was not appropriate and changed his words:

"I went to Tongheju."

If we really talk about going to Quanjude, when the Jia family was roasting duck racks in the evening, the aroma wafting out is hard to explain.

How could it be such a coincidence that we both went to Quanjude on the same day.

Sha Zhu and Xiao Wu were concentrating on eating and did not notice anything unusual about Cai Quanwu.

When Shazhu heard Cai Quanwu talking about going to Tongheju, he complained:

"Go to Tongheju? It would be better to go to Fengze Garden."

"All that Tongheju has, Fengzeyuan has."

Seeing that Sha Zhu was talking endlessly, Cai Quanwu scolded him:

"When someone invites you to dinner, can you still choose the place?"

"You really think you are the boss."

As luck would have it, Cai Quanwu was scolding Sha Zhu when He Yushui walked in from outside.

Hearing Sha Zhu being scolded, He Yushui fanned the flames and said, "Brother, you are an adult now, why do you always make uncle angry?"

After adding fuel to the fire, He Yushui ran to the table and sat down. He smiled at Cai Quanwu, picked up the steamed bun and started eating.

Sha Zhu was being scolded, and he was feeling very upset. He Yushui was actually adding fuel to the fire. He was so angry that he shouted at He Yushui impatiently:

"You are everywhere? You are obvious."

"If you want to eat, eat. If you don't want to eat, get out."

Sha Zhu didn't dare to get angry with Cai Quanwu. Just as He Yushui was provoking trouble, he bumped into the muzzle of his gun, and he immediately pointed the spear at He Yushui.

Before He Yushui could even swallow the steamed bun, Sha Zhu started to scold her. She immediately turned her mouth upside down and looked at Cai Quanwu with tears in her eyes to complain: "Uncle, my brother scolded me."

Cai Quanwu looked at He Yushui with tears in her eyes and felt happy in his heart. Who asked you to add insult to injury?

"You are so disrespectful, it would be strange if he doesn't scold you." Cai Quanwu did not speak for He Yushui this time.

This little girl is in favor now, and she is too jumpy. She always teases Sha Zhu for no reason. It's just a chance for Sha Zhu to scold her and calm down his temper.

Seeing that Cai Quanwu did not stand up for her, He Yushui turned her gaze to Xiao Wu.

Seeing that Cai Quanwu didn't help He Yushui, Xiao Wu would never stand up for He Yushui. When He Yushui looked at him, he pretended not to see him and lowered his head to drink porridge.

He Yushui was extremely disappointed when she saw this, and couldn't understand why she had fallen out of favor.

Seeing that no one was helping her, He Yushui immediately calmed down, munching on her steamed bun and stopped talking.

When Sha Zhu saw He Yu Shui being humiliated, the discomfort in his heart just now disappeared and he looked at He Yu Shui proudly.

He had already forgotten about what Cai Quanwu had just said to him.

Now he recalled what Cai Quanwu had said and felt that there was nothing wrong with what Cai Quanwu had said about him and that it was indeed his fault.

Just as Cai Quanwu said, when someone invites you for a meal, you really cannot choose the place.

Sha Zhu, who was possessed by the spirit of Ah Q, convinced himself in an instant.

After breakfast and packing up, everyone went out together.

……

Grain store.

Cai Quanwu tidied up his little house, then entered the rental house and took out about two kilograms of small pieces of fat meat.

These pieces of fat meat were the leftovers from the lean meat he had eaten when he bought meat before he traveled through time.

Some of them were kept in the refrigerator, and he had no idea how long they had been there.

Now that Brother Li comes to me for help, I just need it.

Cai Quanwu put the fat meat into a small basket and hung the basket on the beam.

In the current temperature, it is not appropriate to wrap it with oil paper. The temperature is too high and it will easily go bad.

After doing all this, Cai Quanwu sat down at the table, waiting for the bell to ring for work, wondering when Brother Li would come to see him.

As expected, not long after the bell for work rang, Brother Li came running over.

"Nothing. How is it? Is there anything?" Brother Li asked impatiently as soon as he entered the room.

"Brother Li, don't be anxious." Cai Quanwu looked at Brother Li who was full of expectation and said calmly.

"How can I not be anxious, you guy?"

"Tell me quickly whether you can get it or not. If not, I have to think of another way."

When Brother Li saw Cai Quanwu's look, he said unhappily.

He didn't sleep well last night, thinking that if Cai Quanwu couldn't get it here, where could he get it for his brother-in-law.

He no longer wants to go to the black market.

If it was easy to buy there, his brother-in-law wouldn't come asking for it.

His brother-in-law has run all over the black market around the old city.

Some people do sell oil.

But that person was elusive, sometimes appearing continuously, and sometimes not appearing for several months.

No one can be found, so we can only try our luck.

Seeing Brother Li's anxious look, Cai Quanwu stopped teasing him, stood up, pointed at the small basket hanging on the beam, and said to him:

"There is no oil."

"Take a look at the things in the basket and see if they are okay."
