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

Time flies, and several days pass in a flash.

During this period, the treatment of the first man came to fruition.

On the third day after the first man was arrested, people from the police and the neighborhood committee informed him of the results of the treatment.

Yi Zhonghai used his position as a steward to intimidate the masses and fabricate and spread rumors. Since he did not cause serious consequences, he was sentenced to half a year of reform through labor.

Now that he has been sentenced, the position of the steward is definitely gone. The neighborhood committee has canceled the position of the first master Yi Zhonghai.

On the other hand, the second uncle and the third uncle were let off easily after the neighborhood committee warned them.

The neighborhood committee may have felt that removing the three chief stewards at once would cause panic among the people in the courtyard.

When the aunt heard that the uncle was sentenced to half a year in prison, she was so shocked that she fainted on the spot.

Because the old man took matters into his own hands, the deaf old lady escaped.

The next day, accompanied by Silly Zhu, the eldest mother went to see the uncle and gave him something by the way.

After returning, Shazhu told Cai Quanwu that the first man was going to Xishan to dig coal for half a year.

Cai Quanwu didn't feel surprised when he heard this. He hoped that the elder would reform inside, try to reflect on himself, change his mind and start a new life after he came out.

However, people like Mr. Yi are very stubborn and are unlikely to reflect.

Cai Quanwu's two houses that caused a stir officially began to be renovated after the Lantern Festival.

Master Lei only found four people this time, plus five more people to work with him.

Maybe Cai Quanwu's house is smaller than Silly Zhu's.

It may also be the reason why Cai Quanwu is not in a hurry to live in the house.

After all, one more person working means one more person sharing the money.

The construction started smoothly, no one came out to make any trouble.

The old man’s fate is still vivid in his mind.

During this period, the courtyard was quiet and peaceful.

The departure of the first uncle did not have any impact on the courtyard.

However, what Cai Quanwu didn't expect was that the first man's sentencing would have a considerable impact on him.

In the courtyard, Mrs. Jia and Zhang now saw Cai Quanwu as if they were seeing the god of plague and walked around the road.

Many neighbors who used to greet Cai Quanwu now have fear in their eyes when they see Cai Quanwu, and they are no longer as enthusiastic as before.

Cai Quanwu smiled bitterly in his heart, but he didn't expect that in the end he would become a bad person in the eyes of others.

He was helpless and could only use time to erase the impact of this incident on himself.

……

This morning, Cai Quanwu was sitting at the table having breakfast with his brother and sister Shazhu. Halfway through the meal, Master Lei walked in.

"Master Lei, it's so early, have you eaten? Let's eat some together?"

Cai Quanwu saw Master Lei coming and invited him politely.

"You've eaten, you can eat."

Master Lei heard Cai Quanwu's invitation and declined with a smile.

There was something wrong with him coming to see Cai Quanwu this time.

The last time he discussed with Cai Quanwu, Cai Quanwu said that the house was paved with cement. Master Lei wanted to discuss with Cai Quanwu whether he could change it.

Seeing Master Lei's refusal, Cai Quanwu quickly started eating.

Cai Quanwu knew that Master Lei came here so early, and he must have something to ask for.

After eating, Cai Quanwu wiped his mouth with his hand, took out a cigarette from his pocket, handed one to Master Lei, lit one himself, and asked with a smile:

"Master Lei, is there something wrong?"

"It's something."

"Master Cai, have you heard of BRIC?"

Master Lei didn't hide anything and asked directly.

"Gold bricks? What gold bricks? Bricks made of gold?"

Cai Quanwu asked doubtfully.

Seeing that Cai Quan had no misunderstanding, Master Lei quickly explained.

"No, Master Cai, have you heard of the gold bricks paving the floor in the Forbidden City?"

Hearing Master Lei talk about the gold bricks on the floor of the Forbidden City, Cai Quanwu reacted and knew what Master Lei was talking about.

Cai Quanwu watched a video about the Forbidden City, which introduced the Forbidden City Bricks.

The so-called "gold bricks" are actually large square bricks with dimensions of two feet two, two feet, one foot seven, and one foot four, but the manufacturing process is complicated.

It is said that the production of "gold bricks" requires several processes such as soil acquisition, blank making, firing, kiln removal, polishing and soaking.

After leaving the kiln, they must undergo strict inspection. If 6 of a batch of gold bricks cannot reach the level of "knocking sound and breaking without holes", this batch of gold bricks will be considered scrap and must be re-fired.

Several processes may not sound particularly complicated, but in fact, each large process also contains many very small processes. Taken together, these large and small processes, from soil to gold bricks, take up to two days. year time.

This also makes the production of "gold bricks" a luxury thing.

"I've heard of it, what's wrong?"

Cai Quanwu heard Master Lei asking him about the gold bricks and had a rough guess in his mind.

Maybe someone had this thing in hand and wanted to take action, so he approached Master Lei.

Although gold bricks are precious, it depends on who holds them.

From the time the gold bricks were made to the time they were transported to the Forty-Nine Cities, the amount of losses incurred along the way was beyond the words of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

If someone from your ancestors had worked in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, it wouldn't be surprising to have some gold nuggets at home.

Master Lei said a little embarrassed:

"Master Cai, didn't you say you wanted to lay a cement floor last time?"

"I was thinking that paving the floor with gold bricks is better than cement. I wonder if Master Cai is interested."

Cai Quanwuxin said, "It's just as I expected."

After pondering for a while, Cai Quanwu said: "There is a little interest, but if the price is too high, then forget it."

Cai Quanwu took a precaution in advance to prevent the opponent from opening his mouth.

"Master Cai, don't worry, it won't happen." Master Lei assured Cai Quanwu, patting his chest.

"Oh, all right."

"By the way, how many are there? If it's too small, it won't be interesting. Having two different floors in one room is not beautiful and is troublesome."

"And there's no problem with the route, right?"

Cai Quanwu remembered and asked.

"I don't know the exact number, but it should be enough to spread your two rooms."

"Don't worry about where we are coming from. We are all friends who know our roots and have friendships with our ancestors."

"To be honest, if the child at home is sick, there is nothing we can do, otherwise we would not be able to sell these gold bricks."

"It can be said that their ancestors left this behind after spending so many years in the Ministry of Internal Affairs."

Master Lei told the origin of these gold bricks.

Cai Quan didn't believe half of Master Lei's words.

It’s definitely true that the child is sick and needs money, but I don’t know if the origin is serious or not.

It doesn't matter to Cai Quanwu even if his origins are illegitimate. No matter how illegitimate it is, it must have happened before the founding of the People's Republic of China. No one will pursue it now.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, these grandsons of their ancestors who had lived in the palace were very honest and would definitely not do anything illegal.

"In this case, Master Lei, ask the other party how much they want to pay and what price they want. We can talk about it after asking." Cai Quanwu said to Master Lei with a smile.

"Okay, Master Cai, your words will do the trick."

"I'll go ask him later. He's very anxious. He needs money for his child's medical treatment."

Master Lei was very happy to hear Cai Quanwu's promise. It was a friendship between his ancestors and he couldn't let his friend's child go without treatment.

Now that everyone has become homeless, there is really nothing they can do to help.

And this child's illness cannot be solved with just one piece of cake.

Now that Cai Quan is unwilling to ask for these gold bricks, he has done his friend a great favor.
