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

Cai Quanwu finished eating, wiped his mouth, looked at Sha Zhu and He Yuyu who were still eating, and said:

"Zhuzi, rain, uncle will go out later to have something to do."

"You don't have to wait for me for lunch."

Cai Quanwu thought about leaving Shazhu and He Yuyu behind and going out alone, but he felt uncomfortable going out with two oil bottles.

"I know, uncle."

Silly Zhu and He Yuyu looked up at Cai Quanwu and replied one after another.

Silly Zhu had an indifferent attitude towards Cai Quanwu going out. He was the same whether Cai Quanwu was at home or not.

He Yuyu was secretly happy that since Cai Quanwen went out, she didn't have to stay at home to do her homework and could go out to play whenever she wanted.

As for Silly Zhu, he has no control over himself.

Cai Quanwu took a sip of tea, stood up, picked up the satchel hanging on the wall, and went out without hesitation.

As soon as Cai Quanwu went out, He Yuyu ate the noodles in big mouthfuls. After finishing the noodles in a few mouthfuls, he pushed the bowl, stood up and said to Silly Zhu: "Brother, I'm going out to play."

"Didn't uncle ask you to do your homework?" Silly Zhu was dumbfounded. As soon as Cai Quanwu left, He Yuyu wanted to go out to play.

He Yuyu gave Silly Zhu a perfunctory sentence.

"I'll come back and do it after I play for a while."

After saying that, He Yuyu ignored Silly Zhu, grabbed some food in the cabinet, and ran outside.

Silly Zhu sighed and ate the noodles.

……

In the evening, as the sun set in the west, Cai Quanwu walked to the courtyard with a bag in his hands.

In the bag was the harvest of his day's shopping. There were a lot of messy things.

There are ancient books, old paintings, ceramics, jades, and other miscellaneous things. They are all bargains anyway.

If it is too expensive, Cai Quanwu would not buy it. Who knows whether it is true or false.

It's cheap, but as long as one of the items is genuine, he won't lose anything.

And just because it’s not valuable now, doesn’t mean it won’t be valuable in the future.

Cai Quanwu thought to himself, I am investing in the future.

This bag today cost him a hundred yuan.

"He Yuyu, your uncle is back."

With sharp eyes, Liu Guangtian saw Cai Quanwu from a distance and reminded He Yuyu.

This was what He Yuyu told them to pay attention to, and Cai Quanwu would call her when he came back.

Hearing Liu Guangtian say that Cai Quanwu was back, He Yuyu threw the small whip in his hand to Liu Guangtian and said:

"Liu Guangtian, you guys were playing and I went back. If my uncle asks, you just say I didn't come out to play. Do you understand?"

"Otherwise, I won't take you to play in the future, and I won't give you anything to eat."

He Yuyu threatened the children and then ran away.

Of course Cai Quanwu didn't know what happened among these children, so he hummed a tune and walked back happily.

Passing by these children, I saw Liu Guangtian and asked with a smile: "Guangtian, are you playing?"

"Well, Uncle Cai, He Yuyu didn't come out to play."

Liu Guangtian called Cai Quanwu, and then made a superfluous sentence.

Cai Quanwu was stunned when he heard Liu Guangtian's words. After he figured it out, he almost laughed out loud.

What do you mean He Yuyu didn't come out to play?

Did I ask you? Just answer.

There are no three hundred taels of silver here, okay?

But Liu Guangtian, a scumbag, definitely doesn’t know what it means to have three hundred taels of silver in this place.

Cai Quanwu looked at Liu Guangtian with a half-smile, which made Liu Guangtian feel frightened. He lowered his head and said hesitantly:

"Um..., Uncle Cai..., let's go play."

Under Cai Quanwu's pressure, Liu Guangtian decisively chose to run away and ran away with his friends.

Cai Quanwu looked at Liu Guangtian's back and smiled. Children nowadays can't tell lies.

Turning around, he picked up the bag and walked towards the yard.

When I got home, I saw He Yuyu lying on the table, pretending to be serious and writing homework with a pen.

He didn't expose He Yuyu's little trick, so he pretended not to know and asked:

"Yu Yu, where is your brother?"

Hearing Cai Quanwu ask Silly Zhu, He Yuyu said aggrievedly: "Uncle, after you left, my brother also left, and I didn't even eat lunch."

He Yuyu came to complain first, and blamed Si Zhu for having forgotten to eat lunch.

Obviously, Silly Zhu specifically found He Yuyu when she left and asked her if it was okay to be alone at home. She patted her chest and promised that it was okay.

If Silly Zhu had known that He Yuyu had complained first, he would have been furious.

Looking at the pitiful He Yuyu, if he hadn't known that she was dishonest, Cai Quanwu would have been deceived by her.

"Your brother didn't say where he was going?"

"I didn't say it."

Cai Quanwu frowned. He really couldn't tell the truth from what he said.

Only the two of them knew whether Silly Zhu told He Yuyu where to go.

Cai Quanwu felt that he couldn't get the truth out of He Yuyu's mouth, so he simply didn't ask. Anyway, Silly Zhu came back and the two came out in a confrontation.

He Yuyu was most likely to lie. He probably had a wild day after going out with Silly Zhu.

As for what He Yuyu said about not eating lunch, Cai Quanwu probably wasn't hungry. There was so much to eat at home, how could she be hungry?

Your stomach is full after eating snacks, otherwise how would the term "full year" come about.

"Get something to eat when you're hungry. You're not as big as Bangge."

Cai Quanwu said something to He Yuyu calmly.

When Silly Zhu comes back, he asks Silly Zhu to clean up He Yuyu, but who asks her to pour dirty water on Silly Zhu.

"I know, uncle."

He Yuyu responded, mentally applauding his wit.

"Then you continue to do your homework. Uncle, go back to your room and won't disturb your homework."

Cai Quanwu said this deliberately to make He Yuyu think that he didn't know that she was going out to play.

He took the bag back to his room and took out the items in the bag one by one. Cai Quanwu put them away by category.

Cai Quanwu planned to take all the things he bought yesterday and today out of the house and put them away in the evening. He only kept a few comic books for show.

Looking at the miscellaneous things he bought, Cai Quanwu laughed just thinking about it.

Cai Quanwu didn't know much about porcelain, but he knew that porcelain from the third and third dynasties of the Qing Dynasty would later become valuable.

So, he looked at the bottom payment. If there was one signed by the third generation of the Qing Dynasty, he asked the price, and then he bargained hard and paid it back until he died.

Several stall owners almost hit him with objects.

For example, for a vase, the stall owner quoted 100 yuan, and Cai Quanwu counter-offered one yuan, determined to kill the price, whether he wanted to sell it or not.

The good-tempered stall owner would ignore him at most, but the bad-tempered stall owner would almost get beaten, thinking he was deliberately causing trouble.

For other things, Cai Quanwu's counter-offering routine was similar. For small things like snuff bottles, just say they were small, and he wouldn't let go of one or two pieces.

A very magical thing happened. Many stall owners actually gave up in the end and did not know whether the items were genuine or fake.

Cai Quanwu bought it with the mentality that it was fake and probably an imitation of the Republic of China.

For one dollar, you can't buy it and be fooled, and you can't buy it and suffer a loss.

Cai Quanwu was still packing things, and the sounds of Sha Zhu and He Yuyu talking could be heard in his ears.

"Yu Yu, has Uncle come back?"

"You're back, brother. I asked you where you were."

"Then you were playing outside, did you get caught?"

Hearing Si Zhu expose his old background, He Yuyu said angrily:

"Brother, when did I play outside? I have been doing homework at home."

"Go out and play by yourself, don't accuse me wrongly."

"You've gone out yourself, how do you know I'm not at home doing my homework?"

Well, as soon as Silhu came back, the two brothers and sisters were facing each other.

Now it seems that Silly Zhu is no match for He Yuyu when it comes to talking nonsense. He Yuyu keeps talking without a word.

"You went out to play before I left. When did you do your homework at home?"

"He Yuzhu, don't talk nonsense. I just played for a while. After you left, I went home to do my homework. You are slandering others."

He Yuyu was so anxious after being told by Sha Zhu that he didn't even call him brother, but just called his name.

"He Yuzhu, don't be big or small, can you call He Yuzhu?"

Silly Zhu heard He Yuyu calling his name and raised his voice.

This sound from He Yuzhu completely angered Shazhu and made him feel very humiliated.
