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

"How can that be possible? That would be a mistake. Which leader would dare to do that?"

"Okay, Old Yan, you're busy, I'll go back first."

Cai Quanwu had no intention of chatting any more with the third uncle, so he replied and pushed his bicycle into the yard.

"Okay, take your time."

The third uncle made way and Cai Quanwu pushed his bicycle towards the yard.

It was not until Cai Quanwu's back disappeared from sight that the third uncle muttered to himself:

"It's better to work in a grain store. I guess we really can't offend Old Cai in the future."

"Not only must we not offend, but we must also maintain a good relationship with them."

"When Jie Cheng graduates and looks for a job, see if you can use Lao Cai's connections to get Jie Cheng a job at their company."

The third uncle was making a decision in his mind.

Unlike the second uncle, he has a long-term vision. Now he is thinking about preparing for the future and making friends with Cai Quanwu to pave the way for Yan Jiecheng to find a job in the future.

There is no harm without comparison.

In the past, Uncle Three thought his job was respectable and it also gave him several months of vacation.

Therefore, the third uncle has always been rather aloof and looked down upon the first and second uncles who were doing hard labor in the steel mill.

He used to want Yan Jiecheng to work hard and strive to inherit his mantle and become a teacher.

Now he no longer thinks about his son inheriting his mantle and continuing to be a teacher.

Being a teacher doesn't have as good benefits as working in a grain store.

Of course, no one knows a son better than his father. Mainly, the third uncle knew that Yan Jiecheng was not cut out to be a teacher, and it would be good enough if he could graduate from junior high school.

Cai Quanwu had no idea of ​​the Third Uncle's psychology.

He pushed his bicycle back to the central courtyard and saw He Yushui and Xiao Wu busying themselves under the eaves.

Cai Quanwu parked his bicycle, went back to the house, put down his bag, and walked towards the two people.

"Sister-in-law, put some more wheat bran in this cage. They just arrived, so we need to feed them enough so that they can lay eggs."

"I'll have to find a broken bowl later and get some water for them to drink."

When Cai Quanwu approached, he heard He Yushui chattering to Xiao Wu, appearing very excited.

"Okay, then go find a broken bowl and I'll feed you."

Xiao Wu listened to He Yushui chattering in her ear, but she didn't feel impatient. Instead, she replied with a smile.

"okay."

He Yushui agreed, stood up and prepared to look for the broken bowl.

She was very familiar with this courtyard and knew exactly where the broken bowls and the like were.

As soon as she turned around, He Yushui found Cai Quanwu who had walked behind them.

"Uncle, wait a moment. I'll go find something for the chicken to drink."

He Yushui saw Cai Quanwu, said something to him with a smile, and immediately ran towards a place in the yard.

Cai Quanwu looked at He Yushui's back and smiled.

When Xiao Wu heard He Yushui's cry, he turned around, glanced at Cai Quanwu, and smiled at him:

"Uncle, Yu Shui must be so happy to see these two chickens."

"These two chickens were beyond her expectations. She thought you would only buy one chicken."

"Look, I've been busy feeding them since I got them back."

After Xiao Wu finished speaking, Cai Quanwu suddenly had an idea and said to her with a smile:

"Haha, that's good too. I'll let her save the eggs laid by these chickens and sell them to pay for her tuition and buy exercise books."

"Let her know that money doesn't come so easily."

When Xiao Wu heard Cai Quanwu's bizarre idea, he was surprised and asked, "Can the rain agree to this?"

When Cai Quanwu heard Xiao Wu's question, he did not answer directly, but asked back: "Xiao Qing, do you know how much an egg costs?"

"I'm not sure, maybe a few cents." Xiao Wu answered uncertainly.

She really didn't know how much an egg cost, as her mother bought them at home.

After getting married, she rarely went to the market to buy vegetables, so how would she know these things?

She roughly knew how much it cost each, but she didn't know the exact price.

When Cai Quanwu heard what Xiao Wu said, he felt helpless to complain.

The head of the family didn't even know this.

So, he analyzed it to Xiao Wu:

"About five cents each."

"Do you think the rain can be unwilling?"

"If you feed them well, you can sell them for two or three dollars a month, no problem at all."

"Besides, she doesn't have much cost now. She doesn't even have to buy wheat bran to feed the chickens."

"If you really want to feed them carefully, you can also cut some grass, catch some insects or dig some earthworms to feed them."

"Haha, that's it. After paying for tuition and buying exercise books, there will be a lot left over after a year."

After hearing Cai Quanwu's analysis, Xiao Wu's eyes widened.

It’s not like I don’t know, it’s just a shock.

If it were her and the rain was so heavy, she would definitely rush to do it.

Two dollars a month is not a small amount.

Some adults only earn ten or eight yuan by doing odd jobs for a month.

Compared to doing odd jobs, feeding a few chickens is much easier.

"Uncle, hearing what you said, even I want to do it." Xiao Wu thought for a while and said jokingly.

Xiao Wu's words were heard by He Yushui who had just run back.

She was holding a broken bowl in her hand and asked curiously:

"Sister-in-law, what do you want to do?"

When Xiao Wu heard He Yushui's question, he laughed and joked with He Yushui: "I want to feed the chickens."

"Oh, sister-in-law, then let's feed them together. If they lay eggs, we will eat them and not give them to my brother." When He Yushui heard Xiao Wu say that she wanted to feed the chickens, she thought about it and wanted to pull Xiao Wu into her camp.

When Cai Quanwu and Xiao Wu heard what He Yushui said, they understood what she was thinking and almost couldn't help laughing.

He Yushui was afraid that the eggs laid by the chicken would be eaten by Sha Zhu. She couldn't deal with Sha Zhu by herself, so she asked for help.

"Yushui, from now on, we won't eat the eggs your chickens lay. We'll keep them for selling."

"You can save the money from the sale to pay for tuition, buy pens and exercise books, see if that's okay."

Xiao Wu did not agree to He Yushui's proposal, but discussed with He Yushui according to Cai Quanwu's previous suggestion.

After hearing what Xiao Wu said, He Yushui's brain started working quickly and he started to think about it.

This chicken lays one egg a day, three chickens lay three eggs, and that means ninety eggs a month.

It's not just one a day, but if you count two every three days, that would be sixty.

By the way, how much does an egg cost?

Thinking of this, He Yushui asked, "Sister-in-law, how much is an egg?"

"About five cents." Xiao Wu told He Yushui the answer that Cai Quanwu told her.

Hearing that it was almost five cents each, He Yushui did the math in his mind.

After calculating, wow, it’s almost three dollars this month.

The tuition fee for one semester is just over two dollars, so it doesn’t cost much to buy pens and exercise books.

That said, she could still save a lot of money.

After calculating it in his mind, He Yushui felt that this could be done.

So He Yushui immediately agreed: "Okay, I'll save the eggs the chickens lay and sell them for money."

He Yushui just agreed, and then a question came to her mind: "Sister-in-law, what if my brother uses my eggs to make fried vegetables?"

She had to be prepared for this problem. What if she saved some eggs and Sha Zhu took some of them to cook? Who would she go to for justice?

When Xiao Wu heard what He Yushui said, he was speechless. He didn't expect that He Yushui was so defensive against Sha Zhu.

Cai Quanwu did not wait for Xiao Wu to answer He Yushui and spoke directly:

"It's okay. We'll tell your brother how much he paid you for the eggs he took from you based on the price outside."

"But rainwater, if this happens, you'll have to get food for the chickens yourself in the future."

"After you finish your homework after school, you have to go outside to cut grass and catch insects, and dig earthworms to feed the chickens."

Hearing Cai Quanwu's words, He Yushui thought about the weeds and grasshoppers on both sides of the way to school, and agreed after a little consideration:

"I know, uncle."
