Back in his small room, Cai Quanwu waited for the call from everyone at the counter.

I don’t know what the situation will be like this afternoon, but I will definitely get off work on time today.

It's the New Year this year, so there shouldn't be too long queues. Every household has to celebrate the New Year, and customers don't want to delay their return home to celebrate the New Year because of queues.

If Cai Quan thought nothing of it, there were many people queuing up before three o'clock, and the number of people queuing up gradually decreased after three o'clock, which made everyone feel relieved.

After being busy until about [-]:[-], Cai Quanwu went back to his hut to rest for a while. Although the store was not as busy as in the morning, he did not move less to leave some inventory for the counter.

After resting for a while, Cai Quanwu put on his bag, locked the door, walked into the grain store, and came to the counter. It was almost time to get off work, and there were no customers anymore. Everyone was packing things and getting ready to get off work.

He said hello to everyone, then waved to Xiao Wu and said, "Xiao Wu, come here, I have something to do."

Xiao Wu was a little surprised when she heard Cai Quanwu's words. She didn't know what Cai Quanwu wanted from her.

After walking out of the counter, Cai Quanwu took Xiao Wu to the side, took out a brown paper bag from his satchel and handed it to Xiao Wu, saying in the name of Silly Zhu: "Xiao Wu, this is what my nephew asked me to do." The braised pork I brought you, cooked in the canteen of their steel rolling mill, was provided to the leader. He brought some back and asked me to bring some for you to try."

Cai Quanwuwei was also worried about Silly Zhu's marriage, so he used this method to add weight. The brown paper bag contained one pound of beef and one pound of pork. In this era, it was a very honorable gift to give to someone.

"No, Brother Cai, I can't take it. You can take it back. Tell your nephew that I'll take it. I definitely can't ask for it."

Xiao Wu's first thought was to refuse, as she would not be rewarded for no merit. She had not yet decided whether to have a relationship with Brother Cai's nephew, and now she was talking about using other people's things.

"Take it, take it. It's a gift from my nephew. If you don't take it, I'll throw it away. I don't think it's troublesome to carry it back and forth."

Cai Quanwu resorted to moral kidnapping, which is a common method used by people to force the other party to agree.

Sure enough, after Cai Quanwu performed the Dafa, Xiao Wu gave in, took the brown paper bag and said to Cai Quanwu: "Brother Cai, then thank your nephew for me."

"I know, you can go back. I'll get off work later. I'm leaving."

After Cai Quanwu finished speaking, he left the grain store and walked to his bicycle parked next to the hut, waiting for the bell to ring.

A moment later, the bell rang, and Cai Quanwu got on his bicycle and rode towards the courtyard as fast as an arrow.

……

When Cai Quanwu returned home, he changed his clothes and was sitting on a stool drinking tea and resting. He was really tired from working in the afternoon.

Now he and He Yuyu are the only ones at home, and Shazhu goes to the uncle's house to help cook.

The school has been out for winter vacation for many days, and He Yuyu is doing a good job in service work at home.

It is said that the children of the poor are in charge of their homes early.

He Yuyu was very sensible. After the holidays, he would make Cai Quanwu a cup of tea every day before he came back from get off work, and then turn on the stove so that Silly Zhu could cook when he came back.

Cai Quanwu took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "Yu Yu, today is the New Year, is there anything you want?"

He Yuyu thought for a while and shook her head. In fact, she wanted to buy some small whips to play with, but she backed down after hearing Cai Quanwu say that it would blow off her fingers and blind her eyes.

Seeing He Yuyu shaking his head, Cai Quanwu didn't say anything else. Children nowadays have very low desires. They feel very happy when they have enough food and clothing, and don't ask for anything else.

After a while, Shazhu came back and called Cai Quanwu and He Yuyu to go to dinner, and then the three of them came to the uncle's house together.

When I walked into the first master's house, I saw that the first master was alone at home. There were eight or nine dishes on the Eight Immortals table, including meat and vegetables, and two bottles of lotus white.

Not seeing the aunt, Cai Quanwu knew that he should go to the backyard to call the old lady.

"Master Yi, happy New Year, come and have a cigarette." Cai Quanwu said hello to the uncle as he entered the door.

The uncle took the cigarette from Cai Quanwu and replied with a smile: "Happy New Year, happy New Year, come, uncle, sit down, sit down, sit down."

The old man was very good at not hitting the smiling person, especially in his own home, where he politely asked Cai Quanwu and Silly Zhu to sit down.

Cai Quanwu was not polite and pulled He Yuyu to sit down. The two happened to occupy one side. After sitting down, he said with a smile:

"Master Yi, you should also sit down, everyone should sit down."

After being polite, everyone sat down.

Not long after she sat down, the eldest mother helped the old lady into the house.

After the old lady sat down, Cai Quanwu smiled and said hello: "The old lady looks good. I haven't seen you for many days."

Cai Quanwu had not seen the deaf old lady since that time.

The old lady lay on the kang for several days after she came back from the hospital. She had no chance to see Cai Quanwu after he went to work. He was not like a grown-up man who wanted to be a good parent and went to greet her when he had nothing to do.

Even if something happens, Cai Quanwu will ask Silly Zhu to come forward, and he will not meddle in other people's business.

"Yes, I am no longer of use when I am old, and the Lord of Hell will not accept my old lady, so I will suffer in this world." The old lady said jokingly.

When the old man saw the old lady saying something unlucky, he quickly interrupted.

"Old lady, it's not the time to say such depressing words during the Chinese New Year."

Hearing what the uncle said, the old lady smiled and said, "Zhong Hai is right, the old lady is confused. Today is the New Year, so you shouldn't say unlucky words."

"That's right, old lady, I'm telling you, you have something to eat and drink, so you don't have to think about all these messy things. It's useless to think so much." Silly Zhu said after hearing what the old lady said.

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Silly Zhu's words made the old lady very happy.

After that, everyone sat down and started eating.

The first man, Cai Quanwu, and Shazhu were drinking and no drinks were prepared. The old lady, the first aunt, and He Yuyu could only eat vegetables and soup.

At the beginning, Cai Quanwu had planned to ask He Yuyu to buy a few bottles of soda to take with him, but in the end he decided not to do so because he was afraid that the uncle would be unhappy and slap him in the face too much. He could just have a meal and there would be no need to cause any unpleasantness.

"Come on, old lady, aunt, and Yu Yu, you guys pour some chicken soup into a bowl, use the chicken soup as wine, and let's drink one together. Happy New Year to everyone, and aunt has worked hard today."

Before he could use his chopsticks, Cai Quanwu started to make arrangements, which seemed a bit like taking over the host's place. However, everyone was happy during the Chinese New Year and no one cared about these details.

After drinking one together, everyone started eating with chopsticks.

The dishes are quite rich. The meat dishes include stewed chicken soup, braised pork, braised beef, braised fish, scrambled eggs with green onions, and several vegetarian dishes. Of course, peanuts, the wine god dish, are indispensable.

After eating a few mouthfuls of vegetables to fill their stomachs, several men began to drink.

You toast me a glass, and I drink one with you. Soon one bottle of wine is finished, and the second bottle of wine begins.

After having a drink with the uncle, Cai Quanwu smiled and said to the old lady:

"Old lady, drink more chicken soup. It's cold and it's good for your health. You can get married soon. If you have a baby, you can help take care of the baby."

Cai Quanwu let the news out in advance that Sha Zhu was looking for a wife, and wanted to see if anyone would interfere with it.

Someone is really causing trouble and messing up the marriage. I will just get the marriage certificate next time.

Anyway, Shazhu is still young now, so he can marry as he wants in the disaster year.
