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

Cai Quanwu watched Sha Zhu handling the ingredients for a while, feeling that it was not interesting, so he turned around and wandered out of the yard.

He was going to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy a few bottles of Erguotou.

He couldn't bear to give these people a few bottles of good wine at home.

When he walked to the front yard, he saw the third uncle playing with flowers and plants. Cai Quanwu walked over to say hello.

"Why didn't Teacher Yan go fishing today? I thought of playing with flowers and plants."

The third uncle was concentrating on tending the flowers and plants, and Cai Quanwu's words brought him back to his senses.

Then, the third uncle smiled and said:

"Oh, his uncle is Zhuzhu."

"Hey, the fish situation has been bad recently. I went there a few times but came back empty-handed. I'd better wait until the weather gets warmer before going."

"Then call me next time."

"It's a good time that we don't have fishing today. I'll treat Master Lei and the others to a meal at noon, which is a start-of-work meal. Teacher Yan, please come over and help me drink." Cai Quanwu extended an invitation to the third uncle.

"Got it."

As soon as he heard about dinner, the third uncle's eyes lit up and he quickly agreed. Zhuzhu and his uncle hadn't invited guests to dinner for a long time.

I really miss when he first came here, he often invited people in the courtyard to dinner.

But later on, the first uncle always targeted his uncle Zhuzi, and his uncle was not willing to let anyone take advantage of him.

"Teacher Yan, it's settled, I'll go buy some wine."

Seeing that the third uncle agreed, Cai Quanwu turned around and left the yard.

When he arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative, Cai Quanwu bought five bottles of Erguotou.

Cai Quanwu bought it at half a catty per person.

It's not that Cai Quan was reluctant to buy more. Master Lei and the others had to work in the afternoon after eating, so it was impossible for them to drink too much, as it would be unlucky if something happened.

Although it is not like later, even if I go to your house to steal something or fall to death in your house, you will have to pay for it.

But if something really happens, Ge Yingren is not the one to do it.

After buying the wine, Cai Quanwu returned home carrying the rope tied to the wine.

When he got home, he put the wine in the corner of the room, and Cai Quanwu came to the table and sat down to drink tea.

Cai Quanwu didn't have to worry about cooking, he just waited for lunch.

While drinking tea, He Yuyu ran in from outside in a hurry.

"uncle."

Called Cai Quanwu, ran to pick up his cup and drank water.

After drinking the water, He Yuyu was about to run out when Cai Quanwu stopped him.

"Yu Yu, come back. Uncle has something to tell you."

I can't help but stop. This girl is getting more and more crazy. She plays all day long and doesn't go home until dinner.

If this continues, how will her dream of becoming a cadre and eating meat buns every day be realized?

"Uncle, what's the matter?"

He Yuyu stopped, turned around and asked.

"Come to me and talk." Cai Quanwu said to He Yuyu.

He Yuyu muttered and reluctantly walked to Cai Quanwu.

"Yu Yu, have you done your homework?"

When He Yuyu came to her side, Cai Quanwu stared at her and asked.

Hearing Cai Quanwu ask about homework, He Yuyu's eyes rolled, thinking about how he could get through.

After thinking for a long time, I didn't come up with any good ideas, so I could only lie:

"It's almost done. I'll finish it in a little while this afternoon."

"Write it quickly. If it's not done yet, then go out and play after you finish it." Cai Quanwu said directly.

Hearing Cai Quanwu's words, He Yuyu stood there motionless as if mourning his concubine.

Looking at He Yuyu who was standing there not wanting to move, Cai Quanwu said with a stern face: "Take out your homework and do it here. Only when you're done can you go play."

Seeing Cai Quanwu's gloomy face, He Yuyu knew that Cai Quanwu was really a little angry, so he quickly said: "I'll get my schoolbag."

When He Yuyu brought his schoolbag, he lay down on the table and started doing his homework.

He just glanced out the door from time to time.

An hour later, around eleven o'clock, Master Lei came over to see Cai Quanwu.

"Master Cai, the floor tiles are here. Go and check them."

Floor tiles was the name that Cai Quanwu and Master Lei came up with after discussing it. It was too harsh to call them gold bricks.

"Got it."

Cai Quanwu said, and went to the renovated house with Master Lei.

Looking at the gold bricks that were moved into the room, Cai Quanwu touched them with his hands and praised them, thinking to himself, I didn't expect that I could still use this thing.

"Master Cai, I asked them to put them in piles of ten yuan. Here are eighteen piles of ten yuan. There is also a pile of four yuan here. A total of one hundred and eighty-four yuan. You count."

Master Lei told Cai Quanwu the specific figures.

Cai Quanwu counted a circle silently in his mind, just as Master Lei said.

"Yes."

"Do you still have Master Lei?"

"There is still one more trip that should be completed." Master Lei estimated in his mind and said.

"Master Lei, how long does the trip take? It's almost eleven o'clock now. Don't delay lunch."

"I really can't go to the hospital in the afternoon."

Cai Quanwu asked Master Lei about the time, fearing that he would delay his meal.

"Master Cai, don't worry, I know it in time." Master Lei said confidently.

"As long as you say this, I won't care about Master Lei. You just have to look at the arrangements. If you delay eating, you will also be hungry."

Cai Quanwu smiled and joked.

Seeing Cai Quanwu joking, Master Lei also said with a smile: "Don't worry, I will definitely not starve myself. Let's go first. I have to seize the time, otherwise I may be hungry like you said."

As soon as Master Lei left, Cai Quan returned home without any hind legs.

When Cai Quanwu returned home and saw He Yuyu's homework book on the table, he no longer knew where he had gone.

Cai Quanwu wondered if he was too kind to the girl, and now he was getting bolder and bolder.

I guess I walked on the front foot and she slipped out to play on the back foot.

……

"Master Cai, this time it's one hundred and ninety-two yuan, which is a few yuan more than last time."

"It's still the same as last time, ten yuan per pile, you click."

Master Lei was talking to Cai Quanwu about the number of these gold bricks.

Cai Quanwu looked at it and said, "The numbers are correct. Let's go eat quickly. The food is almost cold."

Master Lei and the others had something happen to them on the way, so they came back a little late and didn't make it back as expected.

"Go, go."

Master Lei is not polite. It’s really late and I’m hungry.

Back home, the second uncle and the third uncle were sitting at the table, waiting for Master Lei and the others for a long time.

"Sit down." Cai Quanwu asked everyone to sit down.

Nine people were seated at the Eight Immortals table.

He Yuyu had finished eating and didn't know where to go to play.

It was getting late and everyone was already hungry.

When everyone was seated, Shazhu started pouring wine.

"Drink."

After the wine was full, everyone raised their glasses and drank.

After drinking the first glass of wine, everyone started to eat the food.

Cai Quanwu, Shazhu and the two uncles were fine. They didn't do any heavy work. Although they were hungry, they ate well.

Master Lei and the others must have been really hungry. They no longer cared about the appearance of the food as they devoured it.

After filling his stomach, Master Lei said regretfully: "I won't be in such a hurry next time."

Hearing Master Lei's words, Cai Quanwu laughed.

"I asked you to go in the afternoon and if you don't do it, who's to blame?"

"How do I know the tire will burst?" Master Lei said, shaking his head.

The reason for my late return was that a flatbed tire blew out.

Everyone stayed like this, chatting and laughing for nearly two hours.

During this period, Silly Zhu even went to heat up the dishes, but there was nothing he could do. The weather was too cold, so the dishes were left out for a long time and quickly became cold.

After eating and drinking enough, I checked the time. Master Lei and the others, who originally wanted to work in the afternoon, no longer planned to work. Anyway, they were the ones contracting the work and materials. They made the decision themselves. If it didn't work, they would work one more day.
