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

Not long after Cai Quanwu sat down, the driver got up from his seat and walked over.

The driver of the car was quite familiar with him. He came over to look at the wild boar and handed a big front door to Cai Quanwu. He gave a thumbs up and admired Cai Quanwu very much.

"Brother, you are very brave. You dare to go up the mountain alone and still catch prey."

Cai Quanwu lit up his cigarette and smiled. Instead of admitting that he went up to the mountain to fight alone, he made up a lie.

"I don't have that ability. I didn't go up the mountain to hunt. By chance, a group of wild boars from my relative's village came down the mountain to look for food. They hunted a lot of them and the villagers couldn't eat them all. It was more than a month before the Chinese New Year, so I made up for it. I got some money, and I just went back to pickle the bacon."

After hearing this, the driver also lamented that Cai was completely out of luck.

"Brother, you are so lucky. Such good things happen to you. You can have a good year this year."

After saying that, he returned to the driver's seat enviously.

After waiting for a while, the time was up. The driver started the car and slowly drove away from the waiting point.

The snow on the road had been packed tightly by the passing vehicles and pedestrians. After freezing, the car made a rattling sound when driving on it. Cai Quanwu was really worried that the driver would step on the brakes and the car would slide to the side.

As the car headed towards Sijiu City, people kept getting on the car.

Many people would ask a few questions when they saw a wild boar when they got on the bus. At first, Cai Quanwu would answer a few questions. Later, too many people asked, so Cai Quanwu simply shut up and just smiled.

Cai Quanwu also wondered why there were so many people today. After more and more people got on the bus with children, Cai Quanwu remembered that today seemed to be Sunday.

Only then did I realize why there were so many people today.

Many factories in the city are closed today. It is estimated that many people took their children back to the countryside to visit in the morning, and now they are back in the city so that they can go to work tomorrow.

Seeing more and more people in the car, Cai Quanwu was really worried about crushing the car. There was no concept of overloading now, so he could load as much as he could.

You can only pull a car with fifty people, but if you pull a hundred people, no one will say you are breaking the law, they will say you are a capable person, and they will give you a thumbs up and say you are awesome.

Fortunately, Cai Quanwu's worries were unnecessary after all. Although the car was driving very slowly, it still staggered all the way to Zhengyangmen safely.

When the car stopped, Cai Quanwu didn't get out of the car in a hurry. Instead, he waited until everyone had gotten off before he picked up the wild boar and the chicken coop and got out of the car.

Cai Quanwu was familiar with Zhengyangmen, the base where he pedaled his tricycle, and saw him shouting at a passing tricycle.

"Mengzi, here, here."

A man who looked about the same age as Cai Quanwu looked around and saw Cai Quanwu carrying something and riding a tricycle.

When he came closer, he was very surprised to see Cai Quanwu. He smiled and said, "Who am I to think you are, Lao Cai? I haven't seen you for a long time. Why are you here?"

Before Cai Quanwu could answer, he looked at the little wild boar on Cai Quanwu's shoulder and asked curiously:

"Hey, Lao Cai, where did you get this wild boar? It's estimated to be seventy or eighty pounds."

Cai Quanwu briefly explained Mengzi's question.

"I moved to live with my nephew some time ago. There haven't been many people here lately. It's snowed these two days. I went to the countryside and happened to meet him. I spent some money to buy a small one."

Mengzi listened and joked with a smile.

"I didn't realize it was so generous now."

"Okay, let's get in the car. Where are we going?"

Before Mengzi finished speaking, Cai Quanwu put the wild boar on the car and got on the car with the chicken coop. When Mengzi finished speaking, Cai Quan said to Mengzi:

"Go to Nanluoguxiang."

Then explain the origin of the wild boar.

"It's mainly because it's cheap. There's so much food in the village that I can't finish it. I just missed it, otherwise I wouldn't be able to give it up."

After hearing Cai Quanwu's destination, Mengzi rode towards Nanluogu Lane.

Mengzi chatted with Cai Quanwu while pedaling.

"By the way, Lao Cai, have you heard that those of us who ride three wheels seem to be organized into a public-private partnership similar to those of those small shops? Is it true?"

Regarding this issue, if Cai Quanwu didn't hear what Meng said, he would really be in the dark.

Cai Quanwu seemed to remember that this was really happening, so it would probably be soon. In this era, actions are very fast, and there is no such thing as research and investigation.

"Mengzi, I'm not telling lies. I estimate that this matter is very close. If you don't want to pedal, you'd better make plans in advance."

"I will go to the commissioned store tomorrow to sell tricycles. I will definitely stop pedaling. It will be too hot in the summer and too cold in the winter."

Cai Quanwu did not lie and told the truth. As for what Mengzi did, that was his business. The relationship between the two was just acquaintance. Cai Quanwu would not try to persuade him with all his heart.

There is a saying that if you don't eat the mutton, you'll be in trouble.

Cai Quanwu is not talented enough to do such a thankless job.

Hearing Cai Quanwu's words, Mengzi said nothing. After being silent for a while, he automatically ignored the topic and started talking about other things.

The two chatted for a while, and half an hour later, Mengzi rode a tricycle to the courtyard.

Cai Quanwu got out of the car, took out the money from his pocket, took out [-] cents and handed it to Mengzi.

Mengzi saw that Cai Quanwu had handed over the money and only received two cents.

"Lao Cai, it seems that he has made money, and his moves are different. We are all acquaintances, how can we charge more than others? Two cents is the normal price. Okay, take the things and I'm leaving."

Seeing that Mengzi was only willing to take two cents, Cai Quanwu didn't say much, took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed one over.

"Okay, you smoke a cigarette while I take down the wild boar."

With that said, he picked up the wild boar and the chicken coop, and then signaled that Mengzi could leave.

Mengzi turned the tricycle around and rode away.

After Mengzi left, Cai Quanwu picked up the wild boar and walked into the yard.

When I walked into the yard, I saw the third uncle standing in front of the pots of flowers and plants under the eaves, wondering what he was doing there.

Are you saying that in this winter, if you water the plants, won't you be afraid of freezing the flowers to death?

You said that if you want to catch insects, in this winter, the insects are afraid of the cold and won't come out.

The third uncle really has eyes and ears in all directions. The sound of Cai Quanwu's footsteps immediately alarmed the third uncle.

Hearing the movement at the door, the third uncle turned around and saw Cai Quanwu carrying things and walking into the yard, and hurriedly trotted towards Cai Quanwu.

It seemed that if he took a step slower, Cai Quanwu would fall off the things in his hands. He ran and shouted: "Hey, Uncle Zhuzhu, I haven't seen you for a few days. Let's set off a cannon. What is this carrying? It's so big. Be careful." Come on, let me hold your hand so you don't fall down."

Cai Quanwu felt very disgusted in his heart. What the hell is the use of helping me? I'm going to carry you on my back.

Thinking of this, Cai Quanwuji thought. You didn't want to take advantage. I asked you to take advantage of it. He pretended that he couldn't bear it and called out: "Teacher Yan came just in time. Help me carry it. I'm exhausted."

After saying that, he threw the wild boar onto the third uncle's shoulder, pretending to be out of breath, and while panting, he praised the third uncle.

"Teacher Yan has really good eyes. He knew I couldn't bear it any longer, so he ran over quickly and it was timely for Song Jiang."

The third uncle was carrying the wild boar, regretting in his heart that he would not go to work or go out today, so he specially found some nicer clothes to put on to show off, now it was better, but now he smelled like a pig, what a sin.

However, a mute who eats Coptis chinensis cannot express his sufferings and can only brag with a grimace.

"Uncle Zhuzhu, don't look at me wearing glasses. My eyes are very poisonous. I can tell at a glance that you are a little sloppy and you can't hold it anymore, so hurry up and step forward."

Cai Quanwu smiled and gave a thumbs up to praise the third uncle.

"Teacher Yan, this is you."

Pretending to be better, Cai Quanwu said to the third uncle: "Mr. Yan, you go behind and I'll call Silly Zhu."

At this time, several residents in the front yard were alarmed. They came out and were amazed to see the wild boar on the third uncle's shoulder.

Cai Quanwu nodded and greeted them, carrying the chicken coop to the middle courtyard, followed by the third uncle carrying the wild boar.

When I came to the middle courtyard, I didn't see the Jia family. They were probably warming themselves by the fire at home.

Cai Quanwu stood in the yard and shouted towards his house from a distance: "Zhuzhu, Zhuzhu, come out quickly."
