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

After returning home, Cai Quanwu took off his bag and put it on the table, then picked up the teacup and started drinking.

You know what, overnight tea tastes really different.

After drinking tea, Cai Quanwu closed the door, went into the house and went to sleep on the kang.

I got up before dawn this morning and now I feel a little drowsy.

After lying down on the bed, Cai Quanwu fell asleep in a short while.

In the dream, Cai Quanwu returned to the past, working like a slave for his boss, 996 hours a day, for a few pieces of silver.

And those students who have made it to the shore always show off their easy and wonderful life in the classmates group...

When Cai Quanwu woke up, he realized it was just a dream.

When he opened his eyes, he saw He Yushui scratching his face with a chicken feather.

No wonder I had a tingling feeling in my dreams.

It turned out that this little girl was causing trouble.

When He Yushui saw Cai Quanwu waking up, she was startled, made a face, and wanted to run away.

She wanted to run away, but Cai Quanwu didn't let her do that.

Cai Quanwu was quick-witted and grabbed He Yushui, then threw her onto the kang.

"Uncle, I don't dare anymore." He Yushui fell on the kang and shouted with laughter.

Cai Quanwu ignored He Yushui's shouting, snatched the chicken feather from her hand, and started scratching her ears and face.

"Uncle, it itches so much."

After Cai Quanwu did this, He Yushui couldn't stand the itchiness anymore and rolled around on the kang, laughing.

"Will you be naughty again in the future?" Cai Quanwu asked while tickling He Yushui.

This little girl is becoming more and more daring. She needs to be taught a lesson.

"I don't dare anymore, I don't dare anymore." He Yushui giggled as he was tickled and begged for mercy loudly.

Only after hearing He Yushui begging for mercy did Cai Quanwu let her go.

"Have you finished your homework?" Cai Quanwu asked He Yushui, who was lying on the kang with a red face smiling.

"Take a rest tomorrow and I'll continue writing tomorrow." He Yushui sat up from the kang and said while panting.

After hearing this, Cai Quanwu nodded.

All children are like this, they have no self-control and will not take the initiative to do their homework until the moment before going to school.

He used to be like that too.

So there was no need to force He Yushui.

As long as she finishes her homework before school.

After playing around with He Yushui, Cai Quanwu is now completely sober and ready to wash his face.

I slept for a few hours and made up for the sleep I had gotten.

Seeing Cai Quanwu going out, He Yushui jumped off the kang and followed Cai Quanwu out like a follower.

When I arrived at the yard, the women who had gathered together to chat had dispersed when I came back.

They have to prepare dinner in advance.

Cai Quanwu walked to the sink and washed his face.

After washing, he asked He Yushui, who was following behind him, to take the towel home, while he stood there and smoked.

After a while, He Yushui put down the towel and ran over.

Seeing He Yushui coming over, Cai Quanwu said to her, "Come on, Yushui, uncle will take you out for a walk."

"Yeah." He Yushui nodded with a smile and followed Cai Quanwu out of the yard.

The two men walked to the gate of the courtyard and met the third uncle who was standing guard.

"Old Cai, I heard that you came back early in the afternoon? Are you not feeling well?" The third uncle asked with concern when he saw Cai Quanwu.

When the third uncle came home from school, the third aunt told him that Cai Quanwu had returned home early.

As the saying goes, there must be a monster when something goes wrong.

Normally, Cai Quanwuke never returned home so early, which naturally aroused the curiosity of these women.

The reason why the third uncle asked Cai Quanwu if he was feeling unwell was because of his speculation.

Otherwise it doesn’t make sense why Tsai Quanwu went home so early.

"No, I got up before dawn today and went to the countryside. When I came back in the afternoon, I was very sleepy, so I came back to rest."

Cai Quanwu made up a nonsense excuse and prepared to get rid of the third uncle.

"Oh, that's right."

"I thought you were not feeling well and came back early."

"Hey, it's still more comfortable for you, Old Cai, running around all day long."

"There are a lot of good things in the countryside now."

The third uncle was very envious of Cai Quanwu, who not only had a good job but could also travel to the countryside frequently.

Their family came from a family of small business owners. They used to go to the countryside often to collect some things from villagers and sell them in the city, so they had some understanding of what was happening in the countryside.

But after he felt that he had become a cultured man, he looked down on small traders and did not take over his ancestral business.

When the composition was being determined, he was still complaining and felt implicated.

Later, when public and private enterprises were merged and private businesses were not allowed, he felt that he was very wise and became a teacher instead of taking over the family's small business.

"Old Yan, things are different now than they were before. People are more conscious now, and everyone will sell good things to the purchasing stations. When we go to the countryside to purchase, we can only buy things that the purchasing stations don't want."

Cai Quanwu could not hear the envy in the Third Uncle's words. In order to stop him from having wild thoughts, Cai Quanwu lied and tried to lead the Third Uncle astray.

Anyway, the third uncle can only go to the suburbs at most now, and he doesn’t know the real situation in the countryside.

There is still a big difference between the suburbs and the real countryside.

Because villagers in the suburbs often interact with city people, they have relatively more opportunities than real country people.

For example, the cotton spinning factory where Guan Jiaqi works is located on the outskirts of the city. After their factory was built, they recruited some workers from the village to take care of the villagers.

But in the real countryside, it is difficult to have such opportunities.

The third uncle had no doubts about Cai Quanwu.

Now that private business is not allowed in the city, whenever he catches fish, he sells them to the state-owned stalls in the vegetable market, thinking that it is similar in the countryside, where everything must be sold to the public.

"This is a good thing. The country has unified management, there is no buying low and selling high, and everyone can benefit." After hearing what Cai Quanwu said, the third uncle thought for a while and spoke in a high tone.

But whether he really thinks so in his heart, only he himself knows.

"Old Yan, you are worthy of being a teacher. You look at problems from a high-level perspective."

"Old Liu doesn't have your insight."

Cai Quanwu praised the third uncle and even compared him with the second uncle.

This will make the uncle, who claims to be a cultured person, feel superior.

Sure enough, when the third uncle heard Cai Quanwu’s praise, his face was full of smiles.

But he was very humble:

"Where, where."

"You will know if you read more newspapers and books."

"Old Liu actually has a good ideological awareness, but his cultural level is too low, and he can't fully understand the ideas promoted in the newspapers."

"If he studies harder, Lao Liu will be good."

The third uncle's words seemed modest, but in fact they were boasting, and he was also openly and secretly mocking the second uncle for being uneducated.

Cai Quanwu could of course understand what the Third Uncle meant, but he was a fool, so he smiled and agreed with the Third Uncle:

"Otherwise, how come Old Yan is a teacher and Old Liu swings a sledgehammer? That's the difference."

"If we ask Lao Liu to learn now, it would be like talking to a cow, after all, he is too old."

After praising the Third Uncle, Cai Quanwu said, "Okay, Old Yan, you keep busy. I'll take Yu Shui to the supply and marketing cooperative. She wants to buy exercise books."

Cai Quanwu didn't want to continue chatting with the third uncle in this false way, so he used He Yushui as a shield.

"Okay, then you go." The third uncle said with a smile without any doubt.

"Chat back."

After Cai Quanwu finished speaking, he took the confused He Yushui out of the courtyard.

After arriving outside the courtyard and walking for a distance, He Yushui asked in confusion:

"Uncle, when did I say I wanted to buy a workbook?"

Hearing He Yushui's question, Cai Quanwu patted her little head and explained with a smile:

"Stupid, you didn't even hear that. I was just trying to fool Uncle Sanye, just making up an excuse."

"He was just standing at the door bored. If I hadn't said that, he would have chatted with me until midnight."
