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

I first went to the neighborhood committee to explain my situation, took out my ID and registered with the help of the staff, then left the neighborhood committee and went to the supply and marketing cooperative.

When he arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative, Cai Quanwu went to the cloth counter, found the salesperson, and said to the salesperson: "Comrade, let me buy some cloth."

"How much?" the salesperson asked without raising his head as he knitted a sweater.

After hearing the salesperson's words, Cai Quanwu realized that he had made a decision without measuring the size of the windows, so he smiled and asked the salesperson: "Comrade, how much cloth does it cost to make two curtains?"

The salesman raised his head and glanced at Cai Quanwu, thinking to himself, it's another mallet, I don't know how many, so I came to the store.

"Seven feet should be enough." (I made it up, I don't know the exact size. I only know that the windows in the old courtyard house are high and small to prevent theft.)

"Then come to Seven Feet."

The salesperson pulled the cloth, and Cai Quanwu handed the money and tickets to the salesperson. He took the cloth and prepared to go back. After thinking about it, he bought a few bottles of Arctic Ocean soda.

Drink soda to quench your thirst in winter, hey...

Carrying his things, Cai Quanwu wandered into the courtyard. At this point, most of the aunts had gone home to cook, and there were only a few children in the courtyard who had not yet gone to school, playing house together.

In the middle courtyard, Mrs. Jia Zhang was looking at her children. Qin Huairu must have gone to cook, otherwise Mrs. Jia Zhang would not be so diligent.

Cai Quanwu saw Jia Zhang and said to her with a smile: "Sister-in-law Jia, you are taking care of your grandson. The ground is so cold here and it is easy to catch a cold. It is better to hold the child in your hands, otherwise it will be bad if you catch a cold." Not only does it cost money, but the children also suffer.”

When it comes to nitpicking, I, Cai Quanwu, am a professional.

If the Pirate Saint really catches a cold tomorrow, he can start stirring up trouble and fight against the Jia and Zhang family.

After saying that, he ignored Jia Zhang's fat, dark face and went home.

He returned to the house, put the soda on the table, took the cloth back to his room, put the cloth on the Eight Immortals table and prepared to light the stove.

He ran to the kitchen, filled a kettle of water, and used tongs to pick up a burning briquette.

Go back to the room, put the briquettes in the stove, put two more briquettes on top, use pliers to pierce them, throw the pliers aside, put the kettle on the stove, and finish all this. The whole person lay down on the kang, it was so comfortable.

Drowsily, something was going in and out of his nostrils, itching. Cai Quanwu opened his eyes and saw He Yuyu, a little girl, holding a chicken feather and pounding it in his nose.

Seeing Cai Quanwu wake up, he ran away with a smile.

Cai Quanwu got up and stretched, and looked out the window. It was almost dark. He looked at the stove and found that the briquettes were burning vigorously, so he sealed the stove door.

When they came to the main room, they found He Yuyu drinking from a bottle of soda. Cai Quanwu said to her: "Drink less and save some for later during dinner."

Hearing Cai Quanwu's words, the little girl nodded repeatedly.

He Yuyu was the happiest when Cai Quanwu moved in. When she saw food and drink on the table before, she would not have dared to eat and drink directly by herself. She had to at least ask her brother.

He Yuyu is now more courageous. When he pulled back and saw the soda on the table, he opened it and took a sip.

Regardless of He Yuyu, Cai Quanwu went to the kitchen.

How can a child not be greedy? All adults are, not to mention children. There are so many snack shops in later generations, but they are not all supported by adults.

As soon as he arrived at the kitchen, the smell of fish came. It seemed that Shazhu was cooking fish.

When I walked into the kitchen, I saw that Shazhu was busy. There was a casserole on the stove nearby. The casserole was steaming, and the smell of chicken wafted out from the hole in the lid of the casserole. There should be the big rooster in it. .

There is also a steamer on the stove, which should be steaming steamed buns, and probably sausages.

There is also a plate of peanuts, a plate of scrambled eggs with green onions, and a plate of shredded potatoes on the small table next to it.

Cai Quanwu calculated in his mind that there were exactly six dishes, which was very rich. Nowadays, many people only have Chinese cabbage in their homes.

Silly Zhu, who noticed Cai Quanwu coming in, smiled and joked with Cai Quanwu.

"Uncle, wake up. Are you going to move? I was so excited that I couldn't sleep last night."

Cai Quanwu glanced at him and thought to himself, you thought that like you, I was just tired.

Well, there is indeed an element of relaxation in moving into a courtyard house.

However, one must not admit it with words, Cai Quanwu, the king of words.

"I woke up too early today. You thought I was like you and had to be woken up before I got up."

Cai Quanwu said that Silly Zhu burst into laughter.

Seeing that the fish in the pot was almost done, Shazhu said to Cai Quanwu: "Uncle, take a look and don't get confused. I'll call the old lady and the uncle."

Cai Quanwu was shocked to see Sha Zhu being so active. He didn't expect that Sha Zhu respected Yi Zhonghai quite a bit.

After thinking about it carefully, I felt relieved. No matter what the purpose was, they had always taken care of the Si Zhu brothers and sisters for four or five years.

At that time, the Shazhu siblings were both young, and one of them had a headache. If someone could help him, it would be a great kindness.

It is estimated that after He Daqing left, He Yuyu first dressed and combed his hair either by his aunt or by Qin Huairu. How could he still count on Silly Zhu?

So Shazhu is very grateful to the first man and his wife, and he will think of them both if there are any good things, which is understandable.

As for He Yuyu's comment that Auntie was only given steamed buns, if she thought about it carefully, it was enough. Maybe Auntie didn't even get the white-flour steamed buns and was left to Yi Zhonghai. Life in the steel rolling mill was not easy.

Of course, there must be some differences between the elder brother and his wife, including the deaf old lady, between the Silly Zhu brothers and sisters, and they are quite big, otherwise He Yuyu would not be able to feel them at such a young age.

Cai Quanwu saw that the fish soup in the pot was almost gone, so he took the pot away from the stove.

Seeing that the dishes were ready, Cai Quanwu called He Yuyu to come and put the dishes on the table.

"Yu Yu, come to the kitchen and serve food."

"Uncle, I understand." He Yuyu's voice came.

As soon as he finished speaking, He Yuyu arrived in the kitchen.

Seeing He Yuyu, Cai Quanwu gave orders.

"Yu Yu, put the dishes on the small table and serve them slowly. Serve them in two parts. Do you understand?"

"Ah."

He Yuyu hummed and went out with the dishes.

As soon as He Yuyu went out, the sound of the uncle talking to Yuyu came from the hall.

"Yu Yu, where is your uncle?"

"In the kitchen."

"Is your uncle cooking today?"

"No, my brother cooks."

……

When he heard He Yuyu talking to the uncle, Cai Quanwu had already picked up the casserole on the stove with a rag and was about to go to the main room.

Cai Quanwu came to the main room carrying a casserole. When he saw the first man and his wife, he smiled and said hello.

"Master Yi is here. You guys should sit down first. Just two more dishes will be served."

With that said, he turned around and went to the kitchen.

In the kitchen, Cai Quanwu was serving fish, and He Yuyu came in and took out the remaining peanuts on the small table.

Cai Quanwu put the fish on the table, and just as he put down the spatula, Silly Zhu walked in and said to Cai Quanwu, "Uncle, I'll do it."

"Just bring out the steamed buns."

After giving instructions to Shazhu, Cai Quanwu left the kitchen and went to the main room with the braised fish.

When I came to the main room, I put the braised fish on the table and greeted the old lady.

"Old lady, how are you these days?"

"well."

"That's good. I'll get the dishes and chopsticks and start eating right away."

Just as Cai Quanwu turned around, Shazhu walked in with a basket filled with steamed buns and sausages.

Cai Quanwu, who originally wanted to get the dishes and chopsticks by himself, took the things from Sha Zhu's hand and asked Sha Zhu to get them.

"Zhuzi, you go get the bowls and chopsticks, and I'll get the wine."

"Okay." Shazhu responded and ran to the kitchen to get the dishes.

Cai Quanwu also entered his room and took out two bottles of red wine from the bag under the small table.

Bringing the red wine to the table, Shazhu had already divided the dishes.

Putting the red wine on the table, Cai Quanwu smiled and said, "I'm happy today, let's drink two bottles of red wine to celebrate."
