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

The next morning.

After breakfast, Cai Quanwu sat on a stool and drank tea. He said to Silly Zhu who was clearing the table: "Zhuzi, uncle has something to do tonight and won't eat at home. You and Yuyu will eat together tonight."

After hearing Cai Quanwu's words, Shazhu stopped clearing the table and asked curiously:

"Uncle, what are you doing at night?"

Even He Yuyu on the side was very interested in this issue and looked at Cai Quanwu.

"I'm going to treat my colleagues in the grain store to a meal tonight."

After hearing Cai Quanwu's explanation, the two of them said "Oh" and said nothing more. Neither of them understood this kind of thing.

So everyone continued to do their own business.

Cai Quanwu continued to drink tea leisurely, Shazhu took the dishes to the kitchen to wash, and He Yuyu went back to his room to pack his schoolbag and prepare to go to school.

When Sha Zhu finished washing the dishes and came out, carrying the lunch box and preparing to go to work, Cai Quanwu suddenly asked: "Zhu Zhu, how is the marinated meat? Do you want to dry it?"

"Uncle, just wait and eat. You don't have to worry about the rest. I will take care of it."

Seeing Cai Quanwu care about bacon, Shazhu said in a big way.

Seeing what Si Zhu said, Cai Quanwu said no more and waved his hand to indicate that he could go to work.

After the Shazhu brothers and sisters went out, Cai Quanwu drank some tea and went out with the documents needed for the procedures.

First, I rode to the neighborhood committee and asked the neighborhood committee to get a certificate. This was what Director Ma told me yesterday.

In this era, everything requires a certificate, so future generations will complain about proving that your father is outrageous. This is the same thing in this era.

As long as it is done by people, this kind of thing is inevitable. You know when people are in a bad mood.

I'm in a bad mood, and I'm not allowed to vent. Who will let you hit the muzzle?

After driving the certificate, Cai Quanwu rode straight to Donglaishun. After booking a seat in Donglaishun, it was still early and he had nothing to do. He went to the entrustment store again.

When I arrived at the commissioned store, I walked in and greeted a few familiar salespersons, then ran to Master Qian.

Master Qian saw Cai Quanwu and said with a smile: "You haven't been here for a few days. Where have you gone? I saw that the day after the snow stopped, there were people riding three-wheelers to solicit customers. Are you lazy and hiding in the mountains?" It just came out today.”

Master Qian knew that Cai Quanwu had a lazy temperament and was not active in soliciting customers when the weather was good. Not to mention the rainy and snowy weather, I guess he was hiding at home and being lazy.

Cai Quanwu neither admitted nor denied what Master Qian said. Master Qian guessed his heart correctly, but wrongly guessed his actions. He did not hide at home, but went for a walk in the countryside.

After passing a cigarette to Master Qian, Cai Quanwu made up a story for Master Qian.

"Hey, it's not snowing here. I went to the countryside for free. I asked an acquaintance to get some game back and pickled some preserved meat for the Chinese New Year."

"What a coincidence, I encountered a wild boar coming down the mountain looking for food the next night. The militiamen made dumplings for us. After discussing with the village chief, we brought back a small wild boar."

When he heard that Cai Quanwu had brought back a little wild boar, his eyes lit up, and then he looked at Cai Quanwu with unkind eyes and said dissatisfied:

"You kid, if you're fat and can't think of me, why don't you just come here and chat with me? People say that when you use people, you look forward, and when you don't use people, you look behind. I think you have this kind of virtue."

Master Qian's words made Cai Quanwu a little embarrassed. He really didn't expect so much, so he quickly made up for it.

"Oh, Master Qian, I was very excited at the time. I didn't expect so much. All the meat at home is marinated into bacon. I'll get some for you when it's ready. Wild boar meat isn't very tasty. I'll get you something good next time."

After hearing what Cai Quanwu said, Master Qian nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "You brat, this is pretty much it."

Cai Quanwu smiled and said nothing. He knew in his heart that Master Qian did not lack these things, and his words were mostly joking. Master Qian, who could get into the position of master pawnshop master before liberation, had a very strong foundation. Short of money.

Nowadays, if you have money, you can still buy good things. Unlike later, when everything had to be ticketed, especially after the famine, even a box of matches had to be ticketed. If you were really rich, you might not be able to buy anything.

Seeing that Cai Quanwu didn't say anything, Master Qian took a few puffs of cigarette and asked with a smile: "I don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for anything. What are you doing here today?"

When Master Qian said this, Cai Quanwu retorted dissatisfiedly.

"What do you mean by not going to the Three Treasures Palace for nothing? I didn't come here often before it started snowing, and I didn't have anything to do with you. You just judge a gentleman with a villain's heart."

"You're very talkative. The old man can't defeat you, so why are you messing around today?" Master Qian admitted that he can't fool Cai Quanwu with his talk.

"No, I'm out to do some errands, but I have to wait until the afternoon. I don't want to miss you since I haven't been here for a few days, so I'll stop by to see you."

"Originally I wanted to buy you a drink at noon, but I'd better forget it now. Some people treat other people's kindness as nothing."

Cai Quanwu said this deliberately, who is going to let you, old money, have a bad mouth?

Master Qian didn't take Cai Quanwu's words seriously, but said shamelessly:

"I said I heard a magpie chirping when I went out in the morning. It turned out to be your kid who wanted to treat me."

Seeing Master Qian's shamelessness, Cai Quanwu said angrily: "Old Qian, are you getting old? Your ears are not as good as before, and you hear the sound of a sparrow as the sound of a magpie."

Master Qian was not angry when he heard that Cai Quanwu had harmed him. He smiled and said, "It's the same. As long as something good happens, it doesn't matter whether it's a sparrow or a magpie."

Cai Quanwu was completely impressed by Lao Qian's shameless face. He was no match for Lao Qian in terms of shamelessness.

Cai Quanwu thought to himself that he was worthy of being a pawnshop master, and he had done so many evil things. It was strange that he was not thick-skinned.

After a few words of mutual insult, Master Qian's expression suddenly changed, and he asked seriously: "Boss Cai, it's not convenient to talk about what you're talking about. The old man will give you some advice."

I knew that the old man didn't take me as an outsider, so I asked this, otherwise an old fox like this wouldn't take advantage of him.

He didn't hide anything at the moment. He vaguely mentioned the current situation for a few words, and then briefly said that he was not going to ride a three-wheeler and was going to find a formal job quota in a grain store.

The gift-giving was not mentioned explicitly, but it certainly couldn't be hidden from Master Qian, an old fox. He had never seen anything, but everyone just tacitly understood it and didn't talk about it.

After hearing what Cai Quanwu said, Master Qian thought for a moment before speaking slowly:

"Your idea is right. Depending on the wind direction, the private space in the back is getting smaller and smaller. It is a good idea to find a good unit to transition to and see the situation."

"If the situation is not good, just stay in the unit and talk about it when there is a good opportunity."

After all, he has matured with age, and it can be seen at a glance that the private person behind him is not easy to get along with.

Indeed, the move from public-private partnership to state-owned enterprises has eliminated all space for private activities.

For example, carpenters, bricklayers and the like have certain skills, and some of the good ones are employed in carpentry factories and construction teams.

If the ingredients are not good, you will be left to fend for yourself. The state will not care. Fortunately, these people do odd jobs for others. Although their income is unstable, they will not starve to death.

It's just that these people will gradually be marginalized, and their children will be discriminated against when they get married and study.

Because you have no stable job, no stable income, and no social status.

It is completely different from when I relied on craftsmanship to eat.

In short, without formal units in the future, people who work alone will not be able to live a good life.
