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

"It's okay, you can yell whatever you want."

Hearing everyone's laughter, Cai Quanwu acted very relaxed.

"Yes, just say whatever comes to your mind." At this time, Xiao Wu's father interrupted.

"Yeah."

Everyone agreed with what Xiao Wu's father said.

Just like that, after chatting for a while, the soup base and dishes came up one after another.

After the dishes were served, Cai Quanwu took out two bottles of wine from his backpack, put them on the table, and said to Xiao Wu's father, "Brother Wu, we won't drink too much today, just these two bottles, how about that?"

In order to show his respect, Cai Quanwu reluctantly took two bottles of Moutai.

Fortunately, there is no such thing as not allowing you to bring your own alcohol at that time.

Otherwise you can’t bring it even if you want to.

"Oh, Maotai, good wine."

"But my alcohol tolerance is limited, I probably can't drink it."

When Xiao Wu's father saw the two bottles of wine that Cai Quanwu took out, he quickly shook his head and said.

"Yes, Quan Wu, you and Old Wu should drink less." Little Wu's mother also started to persuade.

"Not much, not much."

"Sister-in-law, you, Sister Zhao, and Sister Liu should also drink a little."

"That's not much for one person."

After hearing what Cai Quanwu said, Xiao Wu’s parents didn’t say anything more.

Otherwise it would offend Sister Zhao and the others.

Just because you don’t drink doesn’t mean others don’t drink.

Xiao Wu's parents understand the ways of the world.

"Okay, all right. You men will drink later, and we women will drink."

Sister Zhao took over the conversation with a smile.

"No problem, we'll just have a few drinks this time."

"Everyone has to ride their bikes home later."

"Whenever you have time, come to Siheyuan and we'll have a good drink."

"I'll stay there after I finish drinking."

Cai Quanwu opened the wine and invited everyone to go to the Siheyuan in the future.

In response to Cai Quanwu's words, Xiao Wu's parents smiled and did not respond.

There was no hidden meaning in Cai's words, but of course they could understand.

It’s hard to answer because I understand it.

"Yes, let's go back to the courtyard and I'll cook for you all."

“I guarantee everyone will be satisfied.”

Sha Zhu interrupted at the right time.

Having said that, Xiao Wu’s parents had no choice but to express their opinion.

However, he did not agree directly. He just played Tai Chi and said he would talk about it later.

Cai Quanwu opened the wine and poured it for Xiao Wu's father first.

As he poured the wine, he said, "I wonder if Angkor can get used to drinking this wine."

"I have a lot of wine. I originally wanted to bring one bottle, but now that something good happens today, I think good things come in pairs, so I brought two bottles of the same."

"It doesn't matter what he drinks, as long as it's wine, but he can't drink much."

Before Xiao Wu's father could speak, Xiao Wu's mother revealed Xiao Wu's father's past.

Another meaning is probably to prevent Xiao Wu's father from drinking too much today.

Cai Quanwu thought that Xiao Wu's father was being modest when he heard what he said just now, but now it seems that Xiao Wu's father's alcohol tolerance is indeed average.

When Xiao Wu's father heard his wife reveal his past, he became very embarrassed and started to laugh at himself.

"The way you said that, people who don't know would think I'm a drunkard reincarnated."

"Hahaha."

Xiao Wu's father's self-deprecation made everyone laugh.

While chatting and laughing, Cai Quanwu poured wine into everyone's glasses.

After the wine was poured and the soup in the pot started to boil, Cai Quanwu invited everyone to start eating.

"Come on, come on, heat up whatever you want to eat for yourself. If it's not enough, we can order more."

"okay."

After everyone agreed, they all started moving.

After everyone had taken a few bites of the food and filled their stomachs, Cai Quanwu picked up his wine glass and greeted everyone with a smile.

"Come on, let's drink together first."

After Cai Quanwu finished speaking, everyone raised their glasses.

He Yushui and Xiao Wu and his siblings also held up Arctic Oceans in their hands to make up the numbers.

Without Cai Quanwu taking the lead, everyone drank up the wine in their glasses one after another.

After drinking, everyone started eating.

It’s not easy to go out to eat nowadays. Some families may not go out to eat for several years.

Of course, this definitely does not include the families present here.

They were considered a relatively wealthy family in that era.

Basically every company has at least one regular employee.

In this day and age, it is not a problem for a formal worker to support a family.

Because this era is unlike later times, there is basically no extra expenses now.

Apart from having enough food and clothing, people rarely have other demands.

There is no such thing as spiritual needs now. Everyone is already satisfied with having enough food and clothing.

Watching a movie occasionally can make everyone happy for the whole year.

Seeing everyone eating the delicious food with sesame and peanut butter, Cai Quanwu looked at the soy sauce and vinegar in his own bowl and sighed in his heart, thinking that he didn't have that kind of luck and couldn't get used to it.

After a few drinks, the atmosphere at the table became more and more lively. The sense of strangeness between everyone gradually disappeared and people talked more and more.

So Chinese people are different from Westerners in that they all like to talk about things over a drink.

Because alcohol can eliminate the distance between people.

"Come on, Angkor, let's have another drink."

"No, I have to slow down."

Xiao Wu's father said no but drank the wine in his hand.

"Come, Angkor, eat some food."

"Everyone, please stay idle and eat your food."

Cai Quanwu picked up a piece of mutton with his chopsticks and ate while greeting everyone.

After three rounds of wine and five dishes, Cai Quan was no longer ready to discuss serious matters with Xiao Wu's father.

He took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed it to Xiao Wu's father, then took one himself. After they both lit up their cigarettes, Cai Quanwu started talking about business.

"Um, Brother Wu, sister-in-law, what are the rules regarding the two children?"

Since they were able to come today, Xiao Wu's parents must have been prepared. After hearing what Cai Quanwu said, the two looked at each other, and Xiao Wu's father spoke:

"The children are willing, and we as parents definitely have no objection."

"The rest is just according to the rules."

“Just have this sentence from Wu Ge and Sister-in-law. I respect Wu Ge and Sister-in-law.”

Cai Quanwu said this, picked up the wine glass and drank it first.

"Slow down, slow down."

As Xiao Wu's mother spoke, she and Xiao Wu's father raised their glasses and drank.

After Xiao Wu's parents had eaten some food, Cai Quanwu spoke again.

But this time he was talking to Sister Zhao and Sister Liu.

"Sister Zhao, Sister Liu, Brother Wu and sister-in-law have told us what they want."

"I'll leave the rest to you."

"If you have any requests, please tell me."

"To be honest, although I am Zhuzi's elder, I am also single. I really don't know the process of this matter."

Cai Quanwu's slightly self-edited tone made everyone smile knowingly.

This is quite interesting.

My uncle hasn't gotten married yet, but he's already started arranging things for his nephew.

"Okay, Quan Wu, leave the rest to me and Sister Liu, just wait for our instructions."

It was Sister Zhao’s first time to be a matchmaker, and she was very interested and agreed immediately.

"Yes, you grown men don't have that much patience, we will take care of the rest."

Sister Liu, as a tool, also echoed the sentiment.

After Sister Liu finished speaking, Sister Zhao acted like a matchmaker and said to Xiao Wu's parents:

"Brother Wu, Sister Zhang, if you have any requests, just ask."

"Let's not talk about how grand it is, but at least it can't be bad."

"Besides, Xiao Wu and we are all co-workers, so we definitely can't let him suffer any injustice."

"We don't want to compare with the top, but we can't compare with the bottom either."

"No one has told me anything. Xiao He has plenty of money. He must provide Xiao Wu with a complete set of three-wheeled and one-ring equipment."

After Sister Zhao finished speaking, she looked at Cai Quanwu.

Cai Quanwu knew what Sister Zhao meant, and probably wanted him to express his opinion.

The three turns and one ring at this time were different from the three turns and one ring later.

At this time, "three turns and one sound" referred to bicycles, sewing machines, watches and radios respectively.

And it doesn’t mean that all the things have to be bought for the woman, as long as the man has some, it’s fine.

For Shazhu, it is not difficult to get all of these.

Sha Zhu now has a bicycle and bought a watch for Xiao Wu.

Now all we need is a sewing machine and a radio.

As long as you have money, you can buy these two things in department stores.

Fortunately, we have entered the era of comprehensive ticketing, otherwise we would have to get sewing plane tickets and radio tickets on the black market.

It was only Cai Quanwu who did not graduate in science, otherwise he would have assembled a crystal radio by himself.
