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

After Master Lei left, Cai Quanwu smiled and shook his head.

In the past two years, this group of people and the old and young have been able to live a good life.

After all, you can still buy things if you have money.

In two years' time, all these people will have is a pile of junk.

They can neither eat nor drink. When the time comes to exchange them for food, there may not be anyone to exchange them with them.

At that time, food was more precious than anything else.

After Master Lei left, Silly Zhu asked about Cai Quanwu.

"Uncle, are these gold bricks very precious?"

At first, Silly Zhu thought it was a brick made of gold, and was very surprised that his uncle was so rich that he could afford bricks made of gold.

After listening to it, I realized that it was the tiles for paving the floor.

The difference is that the place where the bricks are paved is different. They are paving the palace.

"That's it now. I can't say it later."

Cai Quanwu heard Sha Zhu ask and replied.

Cai Quanwu didn't lie. The value of this thing is really just that.

But it will be different when the first batch of nouveau riche rise after the reform.

By then, this batch of gold bricks may be a small fortune.

But at that time, Cai Quanwu thought that he should not be short of this little money.

Silly Zhu didn't understand what Cai Quanwu meant, and just as he was about to ask, Cai Quanwu had already taken his satchel and left for work.

Arriving at the grain store, Cai Quanwu was busy for a while and started fishing.

But not long after, Director Ma came and said that food would be transferred today and asked Cai Quanwu to make preparations.

Director Ma still has foresight.

When the convoy arrived in the afternoon, Cai Quanwu got up in a hurry. He first counted the number of temporary workers who arrived. When unloading began, he recorded the quantity carried by each person in the warehouse.

Cai Quan was so busy that he had no time to drink water.

After the grain was unloaded and the convoy left, Cai Quanwu handed the statistical data to the director, returned to the hut, and slumped there without wanting to move.

Director Ma originally wanted to take him with him to calculate wages, but he declined because he really didn't want to move.

After get off work, Cai Quanwu felt weak in his legs even while riding a bicycle.

It usually takes half an hour to get back to the courtyard, but today it took more than forty minutes to get there.

After returning home, Cai Quanwu sat down and didn't want to move, causing He Yuyu to come.

"Yu Yu, make a cup of tea for uncle."

"okay."

He Yuyu responded and went to make tea for Cai Quanwu.

After drinking tea and resting for a while, Cai Quanwu went into the room and changed his clothes.

Today's clothes are too dusty and I definitely can't wear them tomorrow.

Cai Quanwu changed his clothes and came out of the room. Shazhu and He Yuyu had already put the food on the table.

"Uncle, eat."

Seeing Cai Quanwu coming out, Shazhu shouted.

"coming."

Cai Quanwu walked to the table and sat down, picked up his chopsticks and started eating with Si Zhu and his sister.

After taking a sip of wine, Cai Quanwu asked, "Zhuzi, how is Auntie?"

"Much better than the past few days."

"The food that was served a few days ago was not touched at all. It took a few aunts and old ladies to persuade me to get better."

Silly Zhu took a bite of food and replied.

"That's good."

"You've worked hard these days, Zhuzi. Come, let's have a drink."

Silly Zhu is indeed having a hard time during this period. In the past, he only had to cook for three people in his family.

Not now, I still have to take care of the aunt and the old lady. The first thing to do when cooking is to deliver food to the aunt and the old lady.

The deaf old lady used to be basically taken care of by her aunt, and Shazhu would only give her meals once in a while.

Now the aunt can't even take care of herself, so how can she have time to take care of the deaf old lady.

Silly Zhu not only has to take care of their dinner, but also prepares lunch for them before going to work in the morning.

That's why Cai Quanwu lamented Si Zhu's hard work.

Fortunately, the deaf old lady can still walk now, otherwise Silly Zhu would have to empty the toilet for her.

"It's okay, uncle, let's drink." Hearing Cai Quanwu's compliment, Shazhu's face was full of smiles, and he felt happy.

It's not easy to hear Cai Quanwu's praise.

Cai Quanwu and Shazhu chatted while eating, and they ate dinner for more than an hour.

After dinner, Shazhu cleared the table and went to the kitchen to wash the dishes, while Cai Quanwu sat leisurely smoking and drinking tea.

He Yuyu sat next to Cai Quanwu and told him interesting things that happened in school.

When he hears something interesting, Cai Quanwu sometimes comments.

The uncle and nephew chatted for a while, and Master Lei came in with a middle-aged man outside the house.

The middle-aged man was short and thin, with bloodshot eyes and a tired look.

Seeing the two people entering the house, Cai Quanwu stood up quickly and greeted them with a smile.

"Master Lei."

"Master Cai, this is the friend I told you about. His surname is Jin. He is the third child in the family. You can just call him Jin San."

"San'er, this is the Master Cai I told you. This time I am renovating the house for Master Cai."

After Master Lei came in, he quickly introduced the two of them.

"Master Lei, Master Jin, you're welcome, sit down quickly." After Master Lei introduced, Cai Quanwu smiled and invited the two of them to sit down.

"Master Cai." Jin San forced a smile on his face and greeted Cai Quanwu.

When Master Lei and Jin San sat down, Cai Quanwu ordered He Yuyu beside him: "Yuyu, go make two cups of tea."

When Cai Quanwu asked him to make tea, Master Lei and Jin San quickly said politely: "Master Cai, don't bother."

"No trouble." Cai Quanwu waved his hand and said.

Cai Quanwu knew that what Master Lei and Jin San said was a courtesy and should not be taken seriously.

Cai Quanwu still understands the common ways of the world.

Cai Quanwu looked at He Yuyu who was standing stupidly aside. After a gesture with his eyes, He Yuyu turned around to make tea.

Looking away from He Yuyu, Cai Quanwu took out a cigarette from his pocket and spread it around the two of them.

"Master Lei, Master Jin, smoke."

Master Lei and Jin San stood up slightly, took the cigarette from Cai Quanwu, and said politely again.

Master Lei took out a match to light a handful of cigarettes for him and Jin San, and threw away the match head in his hand.

They lit cigarettes and started chatting while smoking.

They talked about some interesting customs in Sijiu City and did not go straight to the topic as soon as they started.

After chatting for a while, He Yuyu brought over the brewed tea.

Master Lei and Jin San took the tea cups from He Yuyu's hand and thanked He Yuyu at the same time.

After He Yuyu made tea, he came to sit next to Cai Quanwu.

Not long after He Yuyu sat down, Silhu washed the dishes and came over from the kitchen.

Silly Zhu was a little strange when he saw Master Lei and Jin San coming over at night, but he still greeted Master Lei politely.

"Master Lei, is something wrong?"

"Yes, I have something to do with your uncle." Master Lei replied to Silly Zhu with a smile.

Later, Master Lei introduced Jin San to Shazhu.

Silly Zhu and Jin San nodded and said hello.

After Si Zhu sat down, the conversation between several people gradually got to the point.

"Master Cai, I won't mince words. San'er's daughter is currently in the hospital and needs money urgently."

"If we can negotiate well, San'er wants to get the money immediately. Of course, I can guarantee it."

"If something goes wrong, I don't want any extra wages."

Master Lei didn't chatter and went straight to the point.

Cai Quanwu glanced at Jin San who was sitting next to Master Lei, pondered for a while and said:

"Money is no problem."

"Have Master Lei seen it?"
