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

Originally, Cai Quanwu had come up with some bad ideas to punish the Jia Zhang family, but after thinking about it, he decided not to do it. He was already in bad shape after being stuck by a fish bone, so he didn't add insult to injury.

But he was very curious as to how Jia Zhang could get stuck by a fishbone.

Logically speaking, someone as big as Jia Zhang would not be so careless.

I was curious, so I asked: "Dongxu, how did your mother get stuck by the fishbone?"

Hearing Cai Quanwu's question, Jia Dongxu hesitated and didn't want to answer.

And Mrs. Jia Zhang's face turned dark instantly, and she hated Cai Quanwu in her heart. You are just here to trouble me. Shouldn't you solve the fish bone in my throat now? Why do you care about why I got stuck on a fishbone?

Can I say that I got stuck on the fish bone because I wanted to drink one more bowl and drank it too fast?

Seeing that her husband and mother-in-law didn't want to say anything, Qin Huairu didn't say anything either. If he did, he would definitely be scolded later.

Seeing that Jia's family didn't say anything, Cai Quanwu guessed that Jia and Zhang were greedy, otherwise they wouldn't be so secretive when they were stuck eating fish.

Alas, the stick stem is still too small, otherwise it would take just a piece of candy to get it out of his mouth.

The first uncle was also surprised to see the silence of the Jia family, but he was very smart, so it was definitely not appropriate to ask now. He would just ask Dongxu when he went to work tomorrow.

After seeing the Jia family, Cai Quanwu didn't want to stay any longer. After seeing the excitement, it was time to go home and sleep.

"Um, Dongxu, please pay more attention. If you can't send him to the hospital, I'll leave first. Zhuzhu and the others are still eating." Cai Quanwu found it boring and said goodbye.

As soon as Cai Quanwu opened the door and went out, he heard the conversation between the first master and Jia Dongxu, and the first master was also preparing to go home.

But Cai Quanwu is not surprised. In fact, it is normal to get fish bones stuck in this era. Many people just drink water and swallow things to get rid of the fish bones.

In rural areas, there are even talisman painters who specialize in treating stuck fish bones. I heard they are very powerful. (The author has heard of it but has never seen it.)

When I got home, Silly Zhu was clearing the table.

Seeing Cai Quanwu come back, Shazhu asked excitedly: "Uncle, why did Aunt Jia get stuck in the fish bone? Is she okay?"

Seeing Silly Zhu's gossipy face, Cai Quanwu felt funny even thinking about it.

Not only Shazhu was interested, but He Yuyu next to him also looked curious.

Unfortunately, I don’t know.

"I don't know. I asked, but the Jia family didn't say anything. I guess Jia Zhang was greedy and devoured it, and accidentally got stuck on the fishbone. Otherwise, Jia Dongxu wouldn't have told her. He should be worried about his face."

Both Shazhu and He Yuyu thought Cai Quanwu's words made sense.

The few of them chatted for a while, Shazhu went to wash the dishes, while Cai Quanwu and He Yuyu prepared to wash up and go to bed.

In this day and age, what can you do if you don’t sleep?

……

The next morning.

Cai Quanwu, Silly Zhu, and He Yuyu were eating, and the sound of Jia Zhang's cursing came from outside.

"Some people are so cruel that they will be struck by lightning sooner or later, and they will die a good death. The little fish will not eat themselves, so they come to harm my old woman."

"Oh, why is my old woman so miserable? Her son married a daughter-in-law and forgot about her mother. I even got stuck in a fish bone and didn't even send her to the hospital."

Silly Zhu was a little angry at first when he heard Jia Zhang's scolding, but when he heard it later, he burst into laughter.

Cai Quanwu and He Yuyu glared at Silly Zhu at the same time. They were eating, what's so funny.

"No, I feel Brother Dongxu is really in trouble. Aunt Jia will accuse Brother Dongxu of being unfilial even if nothing happens. Uncle, do you think Aunt Jia scolds too much, will it shorten Brother Dongxu's life?" Silly Zhu explained with a smile.

After hearing what Silly Zhu said, Cai Quanwu thought about it and found that Silly Zhu's words made sense. He thought viciously in his heart, could it be that when Jia Dongxu got into an accident later, he was scolded by Jia Zhang and his life was shortened?

Now the people in the courtyard are basically immune to Mrs. Jia Zhang's scoldings. As long as she doesn't come to the door to yell, no one will pay attention to her.

Because the more you pay attention to her, the more energetic she will bark. If no one pays attention to her, she will stop barking after a while.

After dinner, He Yuyu was asked to clean up, and Cai Quanwu and Shazhu went out to work.

When Cai Quanwu pushed his bicycle past the door of Jia's house, he heard a quiet quarrel coming from the house. It seemed that Jia Dongxu couldn't hold it back and quarreled with Jia Zhang. It couldn't be Qin Huairu, she didn't have the guts.

The voice was too low and the door was closed. Cai Quanwu couldn't hear clearly and didn't know what to say.

He shook his head and pushed his bicycle outside the courtyard.

……

Time passed quickly, and several days passed in the blink of an eye. Cai Quanwu was very busy during this period, because the Chinese New Year was coming, everyone began to buy supplies, and the number of customers buying food increased sharply.

I usually buy ten or so kilograms, but after the New Year, I now buy thirty or fifty kilograms, because during the Chinese New Year, relatives will come, and if they go back hungry, they will have a bad reputation among their relatives.

The grain store usually sells a thousand kilograms of grain a day, but now it starts at three thousand kilograms a day, with no upper limit. Everyone is so busy that their feet don't touch the ground and they don't even have time to drink water.

Even eating is not as comfortable as it used to be. Now we have to take turns to eat, and it's like fighting a war. After eating, we get to work immediately, and there is no time to wash the lunch box.

There are queues outside the grain store every day. Looking at the long queue, Cai Quanwu lamented that in this era, the Chinese New Year is really a Chinese New Year.

A situation like this, I heard from Sister Zhao and others, would last until the Chinese New Year.

Fortunately, Cai Quanwu was not at the counter, which was a little better. At least he still had time to eat and drink, and he could get off work on time. Sister Zhao and the others had to work overtime during this period, and they had to wait for everyone in line to buy food before they could get off work.

After a busy day, Cai Quanwu felt sore all over. When he was about to get off work, he went back to his cabin and sat down, ready to take a rest and catch his breath.

After lighting up a cigarette and taking a puff, Cai Quanwuxin said, "I haven't had such a high-intensity work for a long time, and I'm really not used to it."

After getting off work, Cai Quanwu said hello to others and rode his bicycle home.

As the New Year is approaching, the flavor of the New Year is getting stronger and stronger. Along the way, the sound of firecrackers can be heard from time to time in various alleys, all of which are children playing with small whips.

Returning to the quadrangle, I saw He Yuyu playing with a group of children. Among them, Liu Guangtian from the second uncle's family was the leader, along with his brother Liu Guangfu and two boys from the Yan family. They lit small whips with matches and threw them everywhere.

It would be okay if nothing happened. If something happened, Liu Guangtian would have to eat fried pork with bamboo shoots.

When He Yuyu saw his uncle, he ran over and said happily: "Uncle, are you back?"

"Well, let's go home, Rainwater." Cai Quanwu said with a smile.

Hearing Cai Quanwu calling home, He Yuyu paused and said to Cai Quanwu coquettishly: "Uncle, I want to play with the whip."

He glanced at Liu Guangtian's group, then turned to He Yuyu and said, "Yuyu is obedient. We don't play with whips. That's what boys play. Girls don't play with that. Let's go home with my uncle and eat delicious food."

Cai Quanwu didn't want He Yuyu to play with this, because there is really no guarantee of the quality of small whips nowadays, and there are many people who get into accidents when setting off firecrackers in this era. There are many people who have their fingers blown off and their eyes blown out.

Later, the management of fireworks and firecrackers became so strict that every year the issue of firecrackers hurting people was frequently searched.

It’s better not to play or not to play.

After struggling for a while, He Yuyu obediently followed Cai Quanwu back home.

It's so delicious that I can eat it alone, but Xiaobian really doesn't dare to order it myself.
