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

"Uncle Zhuzi, you are exaggerating."

When the third uncle heard Cai Quanwu's compliment, he was happy in his heart, but he remained calm on the surface.

After spending so much time together, the third uncle has a certain understanding of Cai Quanwu.

Apart from the conflict he had with Yi Zhonghai over the house, this guy always spoke as if his mouth was filled with honey, saying only things that others wanted to hear.

If he is let go, he will be a treacherous minister who will bring chaos to the government.

"Teacher Yan, really not. Look at this bamboo pole. It's so straight."

"I can tell at a glance that you prepared it with great care."

"Look at this bamboo joint. Anyone with a discerning eye can tell that it has been carefully trimmed."

Although Cai Quanwu's words contained a certain amount of bragging, it is undeniable that this fishing rod is indeed quite good.

At least it's more reliable than Cai Quanwu cutting a few bamboos.

As a veteran fisherman, the fishing rods made by Uncle Sanye are of a certain standard.

Otherwise, why are the three uncles the only ones in the yard so keen on fishing? Don’t the others know that they can exchange the fish they catch for money?

It’s nothing, I just don’t have the energy to think like the Third Uncle.

"Okay, Uncle Zhuzi, stop flattering me. Let's get out of here and get a good seat early."

At this time, the third uncle remained sober. Facing Cai Quanwu's flattery, he did not lose his mind, but expressed his own thoughts.

"Yes, yes, let's go, Teacher Yan, with your fishing rod, I can definitely catch a big fish today."

Seeing that the third uncle was not lost in his own flattery, Cai Quanwu changed his tone.

Pushing the cart outside the courtyard, Cai Quanwu said to the third uncle:

"Teacher Yan, can I steady you first before I go up?"

"no problem."

Although the third uncle didn't have a bicycle, he was thick-skinned and would use other people's bicycles to practice at school. He was very familiar with getting on the bike while riding.

"That's fine, I'll ride it."

Cai Quanwu said this, rubbed his feet on the ground a few times, got on his bicycle, and slowly started riding.

The third uncle saw that Cai Quanwu was riding steadily, so he jogged a few steps, jumped lightly, and sat on the back seat of the bicycle.

You know what, the uncle got into the car quite steadily.

After the three uncles got on the bike, Cai Quanwu sped up and rode away.

A few minutes later, Cai Quanwu rode past the steamed bun shop, took a look at it, and said to the uncle in the back seat: "Teacher Yan, have you eaten breakfast?"

The third uncle had his back to the bun shop and didn't understand what Cai Quanwu said. He thought Cai Quanwu was trying to talk to him, so he blurted out, "I ate it."

"I was so full from the steamed buns, porridge and pickles I had this morning."

Cai Quanwu just laughed at the third uncle's pretentious behavior.

Everyone in the compound knows what's going on in the Third Uncle's family.

But even though he knew it, there was no need for Cai Quanwu to offend anyone and had to sort things out with the third uncle.

What the Third Uncle said was exactly what Cai Quan wanted, and it gave him a chance to play dumb.

As soon as the third uncle finished speaking, Cai Quanwu jumped off the bicycle and said to the third uncle on the back seat:

"Teacher Yan, I haven't eaten yet. I'll go buy some buns to eat. You hold the car for me. I'll be back soon."

After the third uncle used his feet to support the bicycle, Cai Quanwu immediately walked towards the bun shop without giving the third uncle a chance to speak.

After a while, Cai Quanwu took a few buns and ate them while walking. He came to the bicycle and kept muttering to himself: "These meat buns are delicious."

Seeing this, the third uncle kept swallowing his saliva.

The third uncle did have breakfast, but the porridge he ate was so thick that even chopsticks couldn't stand up.

As for eating steamed buns, that was just a casual boast to Cai Quanwu.

The third uncle is regretting so much now. If he had known that Cai Quanwu would buy buns to eat, he should not have boasted so much.

Cai Quanwu stayed at home for so long that the third uncle thought that Cai Quanwu had already eaten at home and was just looking for a topic to chat and asked politely.

I didn't expect this guy to play by his own rules and actually trick me, leaving me at a loss as to how to start.

Cai Quanwu knew that the third uncle was looking at him, but he pretended to be stupid and ate his buns without saying a word.

Before the third uncle could find a reason to speak, Cai Quanwu quickly devoured several buns.

After eating the buns, Cai Quanwu patted his stomach and made some sarcastic remarks.

"These buns are so filling. I'm already full after eating just a few."

"Teacher Yan is so lucky that he has prepared rice porridge and steamed buns early in the morning."

When the third uncle heard what Cai Quanwu said, his face turned as black as the bottom of a pot. Listen, is this human language?

At the same time, he secretly cursed this Cai guy for being a good-for-nothing who actually treated him like a monkey.

Just as I was thinking about how to turn the game around, I saw Cai Quanwu take out a cigarette from his pocket, throw one to me, and then said with a smile: "Come on, Teacher Yan, have a cigarette, and then we'll set off quickly."

"Otherwise, the good positions will be taken away by others."

After taking the cigarette thrown to him by Cai Quanwu, the third uncle suppressed his dissatisfaction.

There's nothing I can do about it. It's his fault for being so soft-hearted.

Although this cigarette is not as expensive as the steamed buns, it is at least a little over one cent per cigarette and is much better than my own cigarettes.

The third uncle usually smokes economical cigarettes that cost about ten cents, and he can't even buy two packs of Daqianmen in a whole year.

For the third uncle, being able to take advantage of the cigarette, he was no longer as angry as before.

No matter what kind of bargain it is, just take it.

"Uncle Zhuzi, you're right. We should leave quickly and smoke when we get there."

Hearing Cai Quanwu's words, the third uncle put the cigarette behind his ear and urged him on.

"No, Mr. Yan, that doesn't matter a moment. I've already lit a cigarette."

"Wait until I finish smoking. There's no rush."

A cigarette after dinner makes you feel as happy as a god.

Cai Quanwu finished his buns and was thinking about smoking a cigarette, but he didn't expect that the third uncle became impatient after hearing what he said.

The third uncle looked at Cai Quanwu who was not in a hurry, thought for a while in his mind, and expressed his thoughts.

"Well, Uncle Zhuzi, how about I take you on my bike?"

"It won't delay your smoking, and we can get there earlier."

"How about I take you farther this time, fishing outside the city?"

"The fish nearby are all very tired and don't take the bait very much."

When Cai Quanwu heard what the Third Uncle said, he looked him up and down and asked curiously:

"Teacher Yan, can you ride a bike?"

Although the third uncle was the first one in the courtyard to buy a bicycle in the TV series, he hasn't bought it yet after all. Cai Quanwu is really not sure whether the third uncle can ride a bicycle now.

"I can ride it. I've practiced using other people's bikes at school. If you don't believe me, I'll show you how to ride it."

As the third uncle said this, he put down what he was holding and was about to ride his bike for Cai Quanwu to see.

Cai Quanwu did not stop him, wanting to see if the third uncle could really ride.

I saw the old man holding the bridle of the bicycle, stepping on the ground a few times, sliding a few steps, stepping on the bike and starting to ride.

You know what, the third uncle really wasn't bragging this time, he rode very well.

The third uncle rode his bike around a corner and came in front of Cai Quanwu. He got off the bike and said proudly, "Well, I didn't lie, did I?"

"Haha, I didn't expect that Teacher Yan never shows his true face." Cai Quanwu praised the third uncle.

"No, I was just practicing when I had nothing to do. I didn't expect riding a bike was so easy. I can learn it after practicing for a while." The third uncle said modestly.

He wouldn't say that he crashed other people's cars several times in order to practice driving.

If it weren't for his colleagues, others would have beaten him up.

"Uncle Zhuzi, you can rest assured now, right?"

After the third uncle finished speaking modestly, he asked with a nervous heart.

"Teacher Yan, being able to ride a bike and being able to lead others to ride bikes are two different things. You haven't led anyone to ride a bike yet, have you?"

To be cautious, Cai Quanwu expressed his concerns.

This is for his safety. Many people can ride a bike, but they don’t know how to carry a passenger. The bike will become unstable if they carry a passenger.

If the third uncle was like this, Cai Quanwu wouldn't care if the car was damaged.

Cai Quan had no worries about hurting himself.

His good days have just begun, and he doesn't want any accidents to happen.
