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

When Sha Zhu and the others heard what He Yushui said, they looked at each other.

From He Yushui's words, they could hear that there was some secret between the two that they didn't know about.

They were all very curious about what the secret was.

I'm just too embarrassed to ask.

Cai Quanwu knew that Sha Zhu and the others would be confused after hearing what He Yushui said, but he ignored them. Instead, he looked at He Yushui who was a little anxious and said with a smile: "Okay, I won't say anything."

He Yushui was satisfied when he heard what Cai Quanwu said, and praised him like a little adult:

"Uncle, that's right."

"A man should keep his word."

Cai Quanwu looked at He Yushui's mischievous appearance and shook his head.

Sha Zhu was watching the two people being so mysterious, and he couldn't stand it. He said disdainfully, "It's just a trick."

When He Yushui heard Sha Zhu say this, he made a face at him:

"I won't tell you."

"I'm too lazy to listen." Looking at He Yushui's smug look, Sha Zhu acted very stubborn.

When it comes to talking nonsense, Shazhu has never lost.

Cai Quanwu saw the two siblings quarreling again and tried to mediate: "Okay, okay, stop talking and eat."

"Humph."

After Cai Quanwu said this, the two siblings glared at each other and started eating.

……

Jia family.

Qin Huairu and Jia Dongxu had just finished their meal, and Qin Huairu was clearing the table.

Just at this moment, Jia Zhang pushed the door and walked in.

"mom."

"mom."

Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu saw Jia Zhang coming back and greeted her.

When Jia Zhang heard Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu greeting her, she nodded and walked to the table.

Arriving at the table, Jia Zhang placed the oil-paper bag in her hand on the table, sat down, and said in a somewhat reproachful tone:

"Why did you eat so early today?"

"I also brought you some pork elbows in soy sauce."

Before Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu could explain, Jia Zhang said to Qin Huairu who was cleaning the table:

"Okay, Huairu, don't clean up yet."

"Get Dongxu a cup and let him drink a few sips of this pork elbow."

"Okay." Qin Huairu agreed after hearing Jia Zhang's instructions and went to get a wine glass for Jia Dongxu.

After instructing Qin Huairu, Jia Zhang patted the oil paper bag with her hand and said to Jia Dongxu:

"Dongxu, let me tell you, this pork elbow is delicious."

"I ate two at night, just thinking of leaving them for you, otherwise I would have eaten them all."

"Mom, why did you come back just now?" Jia Dongxu did not listen to what Jia Zhang said, but complained to her.

He was just worried that Jia Zhang would not come back today.

Jia Zhang seemed not to have heard Jia Dongxu's complaints, and recalled what she had seen and heard at the master's house today.

After she found the master's house, she stayed there for half a day and looked around the house several times.

Although the master's house is not as big as No. 95 Courtyard, it is well maintained and looks much more comfortable than this courtyard.

Thinking about the empty room in the master's yard, let alone the Jia family.

Even if Qin Huairu gives birth to one child every year for ten years, there will still be enough room for them to live here.

After looking at the house, at noon, the master took Jia Zhang to a state-owned restaurant near his home and had dinner.

Although it is not a time-honored restaurant, it has survived in the city and the food tastes pretty good.

The chef ordered a few meat dishes, and Jia Zhang ate them with such gusto that her mouth was drooling.

After lunch, the master took Jia Zhang for a walk around his home to help digest the food before going home.

After returning home, the two chatted for the whole afternoon.

With Jia Zhang's deliberate flattery, the two had a very pleasant chat.

It can be said that the man is in love and the woman is interested, and they get along better and better as they talk.

Originally, Jia Zhang wanted to come back early, but when she heard the chef say that they were going to a special restaurant nearby for dinner in the evening, she didn't say anything in the end.

When it was time for dinner, the chef kept his promise and took Jia Zhang to a pickle restaurant.

When Jia Zhang saw the huge pots of braised beef, braised bones, and braised pork elbows, she almost drooled.

Jia Zhang was more satisfied with the dinner than with lunch.

Jia Zhang has experienced what it means to eat all you can of meat.

At the end of the meal, Jia Zhang remembered her son at home and forced herself to resist the urge to eat the last bit of the pork elbow.

While Jia Zhang was recalling the happiness of today, Qin Huairu came over with a wine glass.

Seeing Qin Huairu bringing the wine glass, Jia Zhang smiled and said to Jia Dongxu, "Dongxu, drink something quickly."

Faced with Jia Zhang's kindness, Jia Dongxu had so much complaints that he couldn't say anything. He sighed, ran to the cupboard and took out half a bottle of wine.

After Jia Dongxu started eating and drinking, Jia Zhang said to Qin Huairu, "Huairu, you and Banggeng should eat something too."

"Mom, I don't want to eat it. Just let Dongxu feed some to Banggeng." Qin Huairu pretended to refuse when she saw Jia Zhangshi was so polite.

"Eat, eat."

"We had a hard time in the past, and Mom was indeed a bit harsh. From now on, good times will come for our family, and there is no need to be like this anymore."

Seeing Qin Huairu refuse, Jia Zhang spoke out some of her true feelings.

Now that Jia Zhang is a worldly-wise person, she doesn't want to bother with this country girl anymore.

Anyway, I won’t be short of this food anymore.

After going out, Qin Huairu was a little surprised to see such a big change in Jia Zhang.

It feels like seeing a ghost.

I don’t know what Jia Zhang went through today.

However, since Jia Zhang had said this, Qin Huairu did not refuse anymore. Instead, he held the stick on his lap, sat down, picked up the chopsticks and started eating.

Jia Zhang looked at Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu who were eating with relish and sighed:

"I finally understand."

"We ordinary people work so hard for a month, but we only have enough money to buy a few meals in restaurants for the rich."

The last time they went to Quanjude, the chef had paid in advance, so Jia Zhang had no idea how much the meal cost.

But for this meal tonight, Jia Zhang watched the chef pay the bill.

The impact on Jia Zhang was unimaginable.

A meal cost more than ten yuan, which was equivalent to half a month's salary for Jia Dongxu. The master gave it to him without blinking an eye.

"Mom, from what you said, this master's family is really like what Uncle Cai said." After listening to Jia Zhang's sigh, Qin Huairu asked curiously.

"That's not."

Afterwards, Jia Zhang vividly described to Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu what she had seen and heard that day.

Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu listened with envy in their eyes.

Compared with their family's life, that's the life that real people live.

Who would want to eat coarse food every day when they can live a life of luxury?

"In order for us to live a good life in the future, Mom has risked everything this time." After boasting for a while, Jia Zhang said fiercely.

Just like what is sung in the opera, they are willing to sacrifice their lives to bring down the emperor.

Jia Zhang was determined to catch the master this time.

She doesn't want to live the same stingy life as before.

After Qin Huairu finished listening, she suddenly remembered what Cai Quanwu had said to her, and said to Jia Zhang:

"Mom, Uncle Cai came back today and asked about you."

"He asked me to remind you to hold on tight and not let the cooked duck fly away."

"What do you think Uncle Cai means by this?"

When Jia Zhang heard Qin Huairu's retelling, she became nervous and immediately asked:

"Did Mr. Cai really say that?"

"Yeah." Qin Huairu thought about it, felt that he was right, and nodded.

Seeing Qin Huairu nod, Jia Zhang murmured to herself:

"It seems that Mr. Cai heard some rumors, so he asked you to remind me."

"I was originally thinking of whetting the old man's appetite, but now it seems that's not going to work."

"Anyway, that day will come sooner or later. I'll go there again tomorrow. I don't believe there will be a cat that doesn't steal fish."
