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

Everyone was laughing, but Shazhu couldn't laugh.

Listen, what is this saying?

Is this human talk?

What does it mean to slap yourself twice when you are greedy?

How about you show me how?

Shouldn't you satisfy your craving when you're hungry?

Of course, Shazhu just thought about this in his mind.

Let him say something he definitely wouldn't dare to say.

He had nothing to say to Tsai. Shazhu couldn't find any reason to refute her, or he just didn't dare to refute her.

Feeling depressed, he had no choice but to sit down, grab a handful of peanuts and start eating.

Fortunately, Peanut's comfort helped to alleviate Shazhu's depression to some extent.

Looking at the depressed Sha Zhu, Xiao Wu said generously: "Brother Zhu, I will give you half later."

Hearing what Xiao Wu said, Sha Zhu immediately smiled, and his true nature as a bootlicker was slowly revealed.

"No, Xiaoqing, you eat it yourself. Apples are so sour and make your teeth ache. I don't like them."

As Sha Zhu was speaking, He Yushui came in with washed apples. Upon hearing what Sha Zhu said, she started to refute him.

"Sister Xiao Wu, Sister Xiao Guan, don't listen to my brother's nonsense. This apple is very sweet, not sour at all."

"My brother is just saying the grapes are sour because he can't eat them."

After He Yushui finished speaking, he handed the apple in his hand to Xiao Wu and Guan Jiaqi, then looked at Sha Zhu provocatively.

When Sha Zhu heard what He Yushui said and looked at her provocative eyes, he jumped up and down like a cat with its fur standing on end. He said to He Yushui in a bad tone:

“He Yushui, don’t talk nonsense if you don’t understand. Is that what I meant?”

"You don't understand anything, you just keep talking nonsense."

"I said that on purpose, understand?"

"Brother, do you think I'm a three-year-old kid? What do you mean by that? You're just saying the grapes are sour because you can't eat them."

Sha Zhu's words left He Yushui stunned.

Then he reacted, rolled his eyes at Sha Zhu and started to refute.

"That was a kind refusal from me. How can a little kid like you tell the difference between good and bad words?"

Sha Zhu looked at He Yu Shui with contempt, his eyes full of mockery.

He Yushui was about to continue refutation when Cai Quanwu stopped him.

“Okay, the two of you should stop arguing. Don’t be afraid of being laughed at by Xiao Wu and Xiao Guan.”

"It's okay. I often quarrel with Wu Chu and Wu Yue at home." Xiao Wu was not surprised by their bickering.

Guan Jiaqi didn't say anything, but her face was full of envy.

She is the only one in her family, and she can't find anyone to argue with.

"Yu Shui, your brother doesn't want to eat it, so we two can eat it. I'll give you half." Seeing that Sha Zhu was not grateful, Xiao Wu thought of He Yu Shui again.

After saying this, Guan Jiaqi felt embarrassed. Who should I share with?

Guan Jiaqi's embarrassment lasted less than a second before He Yushui broke the silence. He Yushui took out half an apple from his pocket like a magic trick and said with a grin:

"I have it too."

"When you guys weren't back, my uncle and I ate one each."

Hearing this, Xiao Wu and Guan Jiaqi looked at Sha Zhu at the same time, their eyes full of sympathy.

When Sha Zhu saw the gazes of the two people, he immediately came to his senses and looked at Cai Quanwu with a resentful look.

It seems to mean, is this what you said?

When Cai Quanwu saw He Yushui take out half an apple, he remembered that he had forgotten about this.

Facing Sha Zhu's gaze, Cai Quan tried not to pretend to be frank.

"Zhu Zi, I'm not lying to you, it's really gone."

"There were exactly four. I came back from fishing and was hungry. Yu Shui and I ate one each, so there were two left."

Sha Zhu looked unconvinced by Cai Quanwu's explanation.

He is not stupid. After spending such a long time together, he knows his uncle too well.

This statement can only fool outsiders.

"Okay, Zhuzi, what are you looking at me with? Is it just an apple?"

Cai Quanwu really couldn't stand the look in Sha Zhu's eyes. It was disgusting that a grown man like you made that expression just for a stutter.

As for Shazhu, no matter how Cai Quanwu explained, he just looked like you were lying to me.

If it weren't for the outsiders, Tsai Quanwu would have wanted to demote him.

Fortunately, Sha Zhu didn't really want to eat the apple. He was just angry that Cai Quanwu treated him like a three-year-old kid. Seeing Xiao Wu and the others looking at him with apples in their hands, he changed his expression and said to them, "Why are you looking at me? Eat it. Uncle and I are just joking."

After saying that, Sha Zhu glanced at Cai Quanwu.

"Yes, Xiao Wu, Xiao Guan, you guys eat, Zhuzi and I will go prepare dinner."

"Yushui, you stay with Xiao Wu and Sister Xiao Guan. Your brother and I are going to work."

Cai Quanwu said this and winked at Sha Zhu.

Sha Zhu received Cai Quanwu's look and said to them with a smile, "You guys take a seat. I'm going to work."

Afterwards, Cai Quanwu and Sha Zhu stood up and walked out.

When they got outside, Cai Quanwu didn't give Sha Zhu a chance to speak, and directly ordered:

"Zhu Zi, there are some fish in the kitchen. They were dead when we brought them back. Please prepare them and see if they are enough for dinner. If not, grab a few more from the basin. I'll go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy a few bottles of soda."

"okay."

Sha Zhu knew what Cai Quanwu meant and agreed readily.

Then the two of them started to act separately.

Sha Zhu went to the kitchen to deal with the fish, while Cai Quanwu walked out of the yard.

As soon as Cai Quanwu arrived at the front yard, he was stopped by the third uncle who was standing at the door looking around.

"Zhu Zi's uncle..."

As soon as the third uncle said this and was about to continue, he was interrupted by Cai Quanwu.

"Teacher Yan, we are so familiar with each other, so let's change the name from now on."

"I call you Lao Yan, and you can call me Lao Cai or nothing at all."

"It feels awkward to keep calling him Uncle Zhuzi like this. Do you think it's okay?"

Cai Quanwu actually wanted to change his address a long time ago. Compared to the way people in the courtyard addressed him, he preferred the way people in the grain store addressed him.

But the people in the hospital probably got used to calling him that and never changed it.

This time I just brought it up myself.

"Okay, why not?"

"I also feel uncomfortable calling you that. I'm afraid you feel the same way."

"If I knew this, I would have changed my name."

"You are younger than me, so I will call you Quanwu from now on."

"Calling you Lao Cai makes me feel like I'm calling you old."

The third uncle fully agreed with Cai Quan's idea.

Every time he called Cai Quanwu, he had to add the word "Shazhu", which made him feel uncomfortable.

"I'll call you that from now on."

"By the way, Old Yan, what did you call me for?"

After deciding on a title with the Third Uncle, Cai Quanwu asked the Third Uncle why he called him that.

"It's okay, no, something's wrong."

"Didn't I hear that Sha Zhu brought his girlfriend back, and she brought back a foreign woman?"

"Is that the case?"

The third uncle looked so gossipy that Cai Quanwu felt too helpless to complain.

You are a grown man, but how can you be like those women, caring about this all day long.

"Yes, that's what happened."

"One of them is Zhuzi's girlfriend, but the other one is not a foreign woman."

"Old Yan, now that you've got this, I have something to say to you."

When the third uncle heard what Cai Quanwu said, he was confused and wondered, "What did I say wrong?"

Before he could ask the questions in his mind, he heard Cai Quanwu continue talking.

"This country promotes the unity of the fifty-six ethnic groups every day. It seems that you, Old Yan, have not remembered anything at all."

"You are still a teacher?"

"They are fellow ethnic minorities. You actually called them foreign women. Don't call them that in the future."

"If this gets known, they will report it to the school and accuse you of undermining national unity. Old Yan, do you still want to keep your job?"
