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

"Don't even think about it. Take it home, and you won't get any tonight."

This is what Cai Quanwu said when he saw Xiao Wu coming over, deliberately putting on a stern face to scare her.

Xiao Wu had already understood Cai Quanwu's temper, so he didn't get angry when he heard this. He smiled and said, "Then I'll wait until it cools down before going home to sleep."

"Okay, take it and go."

Seeing that he failed to scare Xiao Wu, Cai Quanwu's expression changed and he smiled. He picked up the fan and handed it to her, asking her to hold it.

Then Cai Quanwu rode his bicycle to the courtyard with Xiao Wu, who was holding a fan.

The weather in July was very hot and humid. In order to avoid being exposed to the sun, Cai Quanwu rode his bicycle very fast, hoping to get home as soon as possible.

The bicycle had just turned into the alley and was still some distance away from the courtyard when it was discovered by He Yushui.

It's summer vacation now, and the kids are having fun after the break.

He Yushui is naturally no exception.

After the holiday, He Yushui waited for them at the gate of the courtyard on time every day like an alarm clock.

After discovering the two people, the girl ran over immediately.

"Uncle, sister-in-law." He Yushui shouted after running closer.

When Cai Quanwu and Xiao Wu saw He Yushui coming, they both got off their bicycles.

When He Yushui came to his side, Cai Quanwu asked with a straight face, "Have you had lunch?"

No wonder Tsai Quanwu asked this question.

After the holiday, He Yushui didn't have to go to school and no one was supervising him, so he was like a wild horse that had broken free from its reins, playing all day long.

Sometimes she wouldn't even eat the lunch prepared for her.

When everyone got off work and went home for dinner, He Yushui always cried out in hunger like a starving ghost.

At first, Cai Quanwu scolded Sha Zhu, thinking that he did not prepare lunch for He Yushui.

I found out later that I had prepared it, but the girl was so engrossed in playing that she forgot to eat.

After knowing the truth, Cai Quanwu gave He Yushui a severe scolding and did not let her eat that night.

After learning his lesson, He Yushui became much more obedient.

"I ate it." He Yushui immediately answered Cai Quanwu and behaved very well.

"Yeah." Cai Quanwu nodded after hearing this and pushed his bicycle towards the courtyard.

"Sister-in-law, what are you holding in your hands?" As soon as Cai Quanwu left, He Yushui looked at the simple fan in Xiao Wu's hand and asked curiously.

"It's an electric fan. You haven't seen one before." Xiao Wu showed the simple fan to He Yushui and answered with a smile.

"Is this an electric fan?" He Yushui looked at the wooden lump in Xiao Wu's hand with a puzzled look on his face.

Although the fan was rare, she had seen it before, but it felt different from the one in Xiao Wu's hand.

"Well, this is a simple fan made by my uncle." Xiao Wu explained to He Yushui.

"Oh." Although he didn't know what a simple fan was, He Yushui still made an expression as if he knew it.

Seeing her like this, Xiao Wu knew that he was talking to a deaf ear, so he said nothing more. He called He Yushui to follow Cai Quanwu and walked towards the courtyard.

Cai Quanwu, who was walking in front, arrived at the gate of the courtyard faster than them.

"Old Cai, are you off work?" As soon as Cai Quanwu arrived at the gate of the courtyard, the third uncle who was standing in the shade of the courtyard greeted him with a smile.

Looking at the smiling Third Uncle, Cai Quanwu couldn't help but admire him as a man of character. No matter whether he had any opinion about you or not, he would always greet you with a smile when they met.

"Well, it's time to get off work."

"Old Yan, didn't you go fishing today?"

Seeing the third uncle greeting him with a smile, Cai Quanwu also smiled and started to be polite to him.

Normally, during the summer vacation, the uncle should have some free time.

But the third uncle was not idle. When he had no teaching tasks, he went out early and came back late almost every day to fish.

Summer vacation may be a holiday for other teachers, but for Uncle San, it is a good time to increase income.

Some time ago, when Cai Quanwu came home from get off work, he didn't see the third uncle guarding the gate. He asked around curiously and found out that the third uncle got up earlier than when classes were in class and came back later than when classes were over.

Much more dedicated than when I was in school.

"It's too tiring to fish every day, so I'll take a day off today."

When the third uncle heard Cai Quanwu's polite words, his expression changed, then returned to normal and gave a reason that he probably didn't even believe.

In fact, the third uncle didn't want to rest either.

Originally, the third uncle thought he could show off his skills during the holiday, but he didn't expect things to go against his wishes.

It was fine during the first few days of the holiday. The third uncle went out early and came back late every day, basking in the sun and gaining some results.

Unexpectedly, after a few days, the waters were full of young boys fishing.

No matter how remote the place the uncle finds, there will always be a group of young boys fishing and making noise nearby.

There are only so many places to fish in the city of Sijiu, and all the schools in the city are on holiday, so you can meet some half-grown children wherever you go fishing.

If he encounters a younger child, the uncle can still use his status as an adult to chase the child away.

When he met some teenagers around fifteen or sixteen years old, the uncle didn't dare to chase them away, for he was afraid that if he failed to chase them away, they would beat him up instead.

The students at this time were not all good kids like they were later.

When it comes to assessing the situation, the third uncle has a very good grasp of it.

However, with so many people fishing, there are not enough fish to catch. As a result, the third uncle has basically come up empty-handed in recent days. In desperation, the third uncle took a day off today.

It’s nothing, the effort and reward are not proportional.

After resting at home for a day, the uncle finally figured out why more teenagers were going fishing than before.

It’s still the quantitative ones that caused the trouble.

Before rationing, anyone with money could buy food, and one person’s salary could be used to buy food for the whole family.

It’s different now. One person’s salary cannot support a family because you have to buy food beyond the ration at a high price.

Especially for families with only teenage boys, there is simply not enough food.

Hey, little brat, I’m serious about eating you into poverty.

There was no other way. In this situation, these boys naturally came up with all kinds of ideas in order to get enough food.

For these boys, fishing and robbing bird nests are the easiest ways to get food without doing anything bad.

As for bird nests, there are definitely not that many to take out, so most of the time we can only resort to fishing.

That's why there are teenagers fishing everywhere.

Now the uncle can only hope that these half-grown kids will give up fishing after some trouble.

But I think the possibility is too low.

I'm just sitting around doing nothing anyway, so if I can catch some fish, I can have a good meal.

In the face of hunger, I guess these half-grown kids wouldn't give up as long as there's a glimmer of hope of catching fish.

"The weather is so hot, we really can't be too tired. It's better to take a rest. If we get heatstroke by accident, it would be a loss as well as a loss." Cai Quanwu verbally agreed with the third uncle's explanation, but he naturally didn't believe it in his heart.

The important thing about fishing is patience. It’s really not that tiring to just sit there all day.

Unless you catch a big fish, often let the fish slip away.

However, in this day and age, the possibility of catching a big fish is very low. The equipment does not support it, and any slightly larger fish will easily fall off the hook.

So it’s not true at all.

If the uncle said that the weather was too hot and he wanted to take a break for two days, it would be more convincing than saying that he was tired.

It’s just that Tsai Quanwu didn’t expose it.

"Old Cai, what you said makes sense." The third uncle smiled and nodded in agreement.
