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

He Yushui was happily chewing a duck leg when Jia Dongxu came over, bringing his follower Stick Geng with him.

I have to say that no one in this courtyard is thin-skinned.

Fortunately, Qin Huairu had some shame and did not follow him.

As soon as Banggeng entered the room, he saw He Yushui gnawing on a duck leg. He immediately pulled Jia Dongxu's trouser leg, looked up at Jia Dongxu, pointed at He Yushui and shouted:

"Eat, eat."

Bang Geng's words scared He Yushui. When he turned around to look behind him, he subconsciously hid the duck leg behind him.

She finally managed to eat a duck leg, but she didn't want to share it with others.

When the little brat Banggeng saw He Yushui hiding the duck leg, he burst into tears and kept muttering:

"I want to eat, I want to eat..."

Jia Dongxu felt embarrassed when Banggeng cried.

He couldn't just go up to He Yushui and ask her to give him some sticks.

Seeing this situation, Cai Quanwu helplessly picked up two slices of duck meat from the table and walked over to hand them to him.

You can't let others find fault with you, saying that your child wants to eat a few slices of meat, but you are reluctant to give them to him.

"Okay, stop crying and eat it."

Cai Quanwu handed the duck meat to Banggeng and comforted him.

When Banggeng saw the duck meat handed to him by Cai Quanwu, he stopped crying immediately. He stretched out his little hand to take it and put it into his mouth immediately.

At this time, Sha Zhu finished his work and said to Cai Quanwu, "Okay, uncle, it's time to eat."

"Okay, let's eat."

Cai Quanwu said this and arranged for everyone to sit down and drink and eat.

"It's delicious."

"This craftsmanship is really amazing."

The third uncle ate the roast duck and praised it.

"Old Yan is right. This braised pork is also a specialty."

"I bought some mutton for the Chinese New Year, and the taste of it is indescribable."

The second uncle took a sip of wine, picked up the braised meat with chopsticks and ate while talking.

"It has been a long-established brand for decades, so there must be something special about it, otherwise it wouldn't have been open for so long."

Jia Dongxu echoed what the second and third uncles said.

Everyone ate and drank while discussing.

Cai Quanwu looked at the people wolfing down the food and swore in his heart that he would never do such a stupid thing again.

Fortunately, Shazhu was smart and hid half of it.

Otherwise, I would have lost a lot today.

Not much work to do, but plenty to eat.

After eating and drinking for a while, the third uncle suddenly said:

“This is how people live.”

"Yep."

The second uncle and Jia Dongxu nodded quickly in agreement.

Cai Quanwu looked at them and complained in his heart, "So you guys are not living the life that human beings should live?"

After the meal, Cai Quanwu didn't eat much, but he drank a lot of wine.

After eating and drinking, they chatted for a while, smoked a few cigarettes, and then said goodbye.

After everyone left, Sha Zhu cleaned up the table while cursing, "They are all reincarnated ghosts who died of starvation."

After cursing, Sha Zhu said proudly:

"Fortunately, I was smart and hid half of it."

"Uncle, why did you think of asking him to move?"

"It was just those few things. We moved them over in no time."

Cai Quanwu rolled his eyes at Sha Zhu and said helplessly:

"You think I do?"

"As soon as I walked in, I was stared at by the third uncle."

"The third uncle kept staring at me, but it was difficult to get angry with him, so I thought of asking them to move to another place."

"We can't let them eat and drink for free."

"Uncle San is really thick-skinned. He is right to be called the door god."

After hearing Cai Quanwu's explanation, Sha Zhu complained.

"Zhu Zi, you are quite smart today. You know to put away half of the things."

"Of course they followed me, so I couldn't do anything tricky."

Cai Quanwu praised Sha Zhu for his approach.

"That's right." Sha Zhu acted a little proud.

"Uncle, how about we drink a little more? We didn't enjoy what we just drank."

"never mind."

"If you want to drink, you can drink tomorrow."

"I'll go over and tidy up the quilt, wash up and go to bed."

……

The next morning, Cai Quanwu got up early, washed up, had a quick breakfast, went out earlier than usual, and went straight to the grain store.

Arriving at his own cabin, Cai Quanwu entered the rental house and took out the tea he had prepared last night.

Cai Quanwu packed ten kilograms of tea into twenty brown paper bags, each weighing half a kilogram.

In addition, Cai Quanwu also packed a small bag, weighing about three or two taels, ready to flatter the leader.

After getting ready, Cai Quanwu began to clean his own hut.

After finishing, Cai Quanwu sat down on a chair and took a rest.

At around nine o'clock, Cai Quanwu was about to go out to find Director Ma when the door of the cabin was pushed open and Director Ma walked in from outside.

"Nothing. Have you brought the tea?" Director Ma asked as he entered the room.

"That's for sure."

Cai Quanwu said this and pointed to a basket in the corner.

Seeing the brown paper bags piled in the basket, Director Ma walked over, picked up a bag, opened it and took a look, his face full of smiles.

"Not bad, about the same as last time."

"You didn't fool us. You are a good friend."

Director Ma affirmed the quality of the tea.

Cai Quanwu listened to Director Ma's praise and thought, since they are exactly the same thing, the quality must be good.

I can't make what you want.

"Director, that's a must."

"Although my friend is not a decent person, his character is fine and he would never fool me."

Cai Quanwu followed Director Ma's words and made up a friend.

It just so happens that if I come up with anything next time, I can just blame it on this friend.

After hearing what Cai Quanwu said, Director Ma packed up the tea leaves, put them back, and said with a smile:

"As the old saying goes, most of the chivalrous ones are butchers."

"What our ancestors said makes a lot of sense."

"That's right. By the way, my friend also gave me a small packet. I'm offering it to you, Director."

As Cai Quanwu spoke, he opened the drawer of the table, took out the small brown paper bag that he had prepared earlier, and handed it to Director Ma.

Director Ma didn't expect this to happen. He was stunned for a moment, then he reacted and laughed.

"Nothing, your friend is really nice, he actually thought of you."

"Okay, that's not pretentious. I just happen to be short of tea, so I won't be polite." Director Ma said as he took the brown paper bag.

After taking the brown paper package, Director Ma seemed to remember something and said to Cai Quanwu, "By the way, Quanwu, there was a meeting at the institute this morning, and it was leaked that they were going to grade everyone's salary."

"You haven't been working here for long, so your grade shouldn't be high this time. It's probably the lowest grade."

"Of course, although you haven't been working for a long time, you are still very capable."

"I'll think of a way to see if I can report it based on the number of years you've worked as a temporary worker. That way, your grade will be higher."

Cai Quanwu knew what was going on as soon as he heard it.

The wage grading that will affect the next few decades is coming.

Cai Quanwu remembered that the document seemed to be issued in June, but he didn't expect that it has started to leak now.

Come to think of it, once the file is sent, it must be executed.

Each unit must be prepared in advance.

Director Ma is really nice. He told me this news.

As for grading, don't underestimate the difference of just one level. The difference in monthly salary can be several yuan, which is enough for one month's living expenses.

All in all, it’s about a hundred yuan a year.

If I can advance two levels, that would be almost two hundred per year.

Cai Quanwu felt that the tea was really worth the gift.

I was too stingy and should have packed more.

"Thank you, Director. I won't say anything more. You can watch my performance in the future."

Although the salary amount has little impact on Cai Quanwu, Cai Quanwu still pretends to be excited.
