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

"Uncle, aunt, Jiaqi."

"Uncle, Sister Guan, Grandma."

"Uncle, little aunt, ..."

After a few people came in, they greeted Cai Quanwu and others in the room one by one.

But Shazhu really didn't know how to address Guan's mother, so he tried to be clever and mumbled a random word, hoping to get away with it.

Cai Quanwu didn’t know whether Guan’s mother heard it clearly or not, but he didn’t hear clearly what Sha Zhu called Guan’s mother.

However, Tsai Quanwu didn't care. It was indeed not a good name.

When Guan's mother heard the greeting, she also greeted them with a smile.

As more people came, the room suddenly became lively.

The arrival of Sha Zhu and others rescued Guan Jiaqi from Guan's mother's clutches.

After everyone greeted each other, they all found a stool and sat down.

"Have you eaten?" Cai Quanwu asked with a smile after everyone sat down.

"I've already eaten."

"If Yu Shui, Wu Chu and Wu Yue hadn't been having so much fun that they didn't want to leave, we would have come a long time ago."

"That's it. Just now, Wu Chu and Wu Yue insisted on following me, but my mother-in-law stopped them."

Sha Zhu's face turned red and he spoke loudly.

As soon as Cai Quanwu saw Sha Zhu's expression, he knew that he had drunk a lot of alcohol at noon.

Having said that, this can’t be blamed on Shazhu.

When he really didn't drink at his father-in-law's house, his father-in-law thought that the son-in-law had some objection.

Cai Quanwu's case is special as he has lost his father-in-law.

If his father-in-law were really around, he would have to drink.

"Did you drink a lot at noon?" Cai Quanwu asked casually while looking at Sha Zhu who spoke with a lisp.

"Hehe, I didn't drink much. My father-in-law forced me to drink. There was nothing I could do." When Sha Zhu heard Cai Quanwu's question, he sobered up immediately, scratched his head and began to explain.

He had to explain. Sha Zhu was a little afraid of Cai Quanwu from the bottom of his heart.

He was afraid that Cai Quanwu would be unhappy and scold him.

After Sha Zhu finished explaining, he was relieved to see that Cai Quanwu had no reaction.

I thought to myself that my uncle should be in a good mood today.

Then everyone started chatting about this and that.

We chatted and drank water, and before we knew it, more than an hour had passed.

Seeing that Sha Zhu's alcohol smell had subsided a little, Cai Quanwu discussed it with Guan Jiaqi and proposed to Guan's mother to go home:

"Mom, let's go back first. We have to go to work tomorrow and rest early tonight."

"You're fine, take a car and come over to our place to play. We have a place to stay there."

"Okay, Xiao Cai, then you guys slow down."

When Guan's mother saw Cai Quanwu said he wanted to go home, she did not try to keep him.

You have to leave sooner or later, so you might as well leave early.

Seeing that Cai Quanwu and Guan's mother had agreed, everyone stood up, greeted Guan's mother, and then walked out of the house.

"Mom, take care of yourself."

Guan Jiaqi was the last one to go out, and before leaving, she gave Guan's mother some instructions.

"I got it. You should also take care of yourself, live a good life, and don't be petty." Guan's mother also gave Guan Jiaqi the same reminder at the end.

Everyone came out of the yard, discussed it for a while, and decided to walk back.

To be honest, for this distance, taking the bus, plus the time spent waiting for the bus, is not much faster than walking.

Because you can take shortcuts when walking.

Sha Zhu and his friends walked in front, Cai Quanwu followed behind pushing his bicycle, and the group walked towards the courtyard, talking and laughing.

……

By the time Cai Quanwu and his friends arrived at the courtyard, they were all sweating from exhaustion.

When they got home, everyone took towels and went to the pool in the yard to wash their faces and wipe the sweat off.

After washing up, everyone went home to rest.

Everyone's legs were so weak from walking that they all wanted to go back and lie down for a while.

Cai Quanwu and Guan Jiaqi had just entered the room and lay down for a while when Jia Dongxu's voice came from outside the room: "Uncle Cai, you're back?"

"I'm back." Cai Quanwu, who was in the room, didn't want to get up, so he replied.

"Uncle Cai, come out, I want to talk to you about something." Jia Dongxu, who was outside the house, heard Cai Quanwu's voice and spoke again.

In the room, Cai Quanwu and Guan Jiaqi looked at each other after hearing what Jia Dongxu said, and then Cai Quanwu said softly: "Wife, you take a rest first, I'll go see what Jia Dongxu wants to talk to me about."

"Yeah." Guan Jiaqi nodded.

Cai Quanwu had some guesses in his mind as to what Jia Dongxu wanted to talk to him about.

However, whether it is true or not still needs to be verified from Jia Dongxu's mouth.

Cai Quanwu got up from the kang, walked out of the room, and saw Jia Dongxu standing outside the door.

"Dongxu, come in and talk." Seeing Jia Dongxu, Cai Quanwu waved at him and motioned him to come in.

Unexpectedly, Jia Dongxu directly refused and had no intention of entering the house.

"No, Uncle Cai."

Cai Quanwu was surprised by Jia Dongxu's refusal.

He didn't expect that Jia Dongxu would not even enter the door.

But Cai Quanwu probably knows why.

Alas, this child has not yet experienced the harsh lessons of society and is too thin-skinned.

After sighing, Cai Quanwu walked towards the door.

"Dongxu, what do you want from me?" Cai Quanwu walked up to Jia Dongxu and asked.

"It's like this, my mother asked you to come to my house for dinner tonight." Jia Dongxu lowered his head, not daring to look at Cai Quanwu, and said softly.

When Cai Quanwu heard this, he understood what was going on.

I guess it’s what we talked about last time. The Jia family has made a decision, and having dinner is just an excuse.

After figuring it out, Cai Quanwu asked:

"Going right now?"

"It's okay to go now." Jia Dongxu's eyes were evasive when he spoke. He must be embarrassed.

"Okay, you go back first, I'll be there soon." Cai Quanwu agreed with a smile.

Since Jia Zhang said she would treat him to a meal, she must have made up her mind.

Otherwise, with Jia Zhang's personality, she would not invite him to dinner.

"Okay." Jia Dongxu said, turned around and left quickly.

After Jia Dongxu left, Cai Quanwu entered the room.

"Brother Cai, what does Jia Dongxu want to see you about?"

As soon as Cai Quanwu entered the room, Guan Jiaqi, who was lying on the kang, asked curiously.

"Nothing, he just asked me to go to his house for dinner in the evening." Cai Quanwu replied with a smile.

"Why do I want to treat you to a meal?"

Guan Jiaqi was very curious when she heard Cai Quanwu say that he was going to Jia's house for dinner.

She often heard Sha Zhu and Cai Quanwu teasing the Jia family.

"I guess he wants my help with something. We're neighbors in the same courtyard, so it's hard for me to refuse." Cai Quan didn't tell the truth and just answered Guan Jiaqi perfunctorily.

In this day and age, it is still difficult for many people to accept such things, so Cai Quanwu does not plan to tell anyone before the matter is finalized.

Tell it now. If it succeeds, it’ll be fine. But if it fails, who knows how people outside will frame the Jia family.

Although it was a bit strange, Guan Jiaqi didn't ask any more questions and nodded:

"then you go."

"Well, you should have a good rest." Cai Quan said, turned and walked out of the room.
