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

Time flies by, and in the blink of an eye, several days have passed since the rest day.

During these few days, Cai Quanwu went to work and came to get off work in the grain shop as usual, and everything was normal.

That afternoon, sunlight poured into the house through the narrow windows. Cai Quanwu sat at the table as usual, with his chin on one hand and his eyes staring straight ahead, as if he was thinking about something.

Suddenly, a knock on the door interrupted his thoughts. He slowly got up, opened the door and saw that it was the master he hadn't seen for some time.

The master stood at the door with a depressed look on his face. He looked at Cai Quanwu and said awkwardly, "Xiao Cai, excuse me for disturbing you. I came here to chat with you."

Looking at the master's depressed face, Cai Quanwu was a little surprised and wondered, what happened again?

"It's okay, Master, come in quickly."

Thinking this in his mind, Cai Quanwu still enthusiastically invited the master into the house.

After welcoming the master into the house, Cai Quanwu asked curiously with a smile on his face:

"Then what happened, Master?"

There was a hint of doubt in Cai Quanwu's eyes, wondering what had happened to the master in the past few days.

When the master heard Cai Quanwu's question, he became furious and said angrily:

"It's really infuriating to talk about it. This neighborhood committee is not reliable at all. I asked them to introduce a partner to me, but they introduced me to anyone."

"Some of them are much older than me, so who will take care of whom? There are a few who are younger than me, but they have four or five burdens. I'm afraid that before I die, my family's wealth will be gone."

"Hey, it's not that I can't accept taking care of children, but who can stand four or five?"

The master is not stupid. Taking care of so many children would mean he is asking for help, and he won't do such a thing.

He must have been holding it in for a long time, and as soon as the master saw Cai Quanwu, he blurted it out.

As he spoke, he gestured with his hands, his face full of dissatisfaction and helplessness.

"Some are even more outrageous. They either have physical problems or mental problems. If I find a partner like this, wouldn't I be asking for trouble?"

When the master talked about this, he became extremely angry.

What kind of person do you think he is? A garbage collector who takes everything into his house?

Cai Quanwu listened to the master's complaints with a smile on his face.

But I feel weird because the neighborhood committee shouldn’t be so unreliable.

Did the master offend someone somewhere?

It is highly likely that someone deliberately made trouble for the master.

Otherwise this kind of thing would not happen.

Making things difficult for others is not just the preserve of those who came later.

In the words of the antique world, it means orderly inheritance.

After realizing this, Cai Quanwu could only comfort the master in a kind voice: "Master, don't worry. It's hard to predict fate. You never know when you will meet the right person."

Cai Quanwu comforted her verbally, but in his heart he thought that it was better to encounter some setbacks so as to avoid having too high expectations.

Otherwise, if the master wanted to find a young and beautiful widow, Cai Quanwu's plan would be in vain.

"I'm just feeling aggrieved, so I came to you to vent my complaints. I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, but now that I've said it out, I feel much better." After venting his anger, the master felt a little more stable, and there was a hint of apology in his tone.

"It's okay, Master."

"Hearing what you said, I think you really can't be impatient about this matter. You have to slowly look for the right candidate."

"Then Master, since the neighborhood committee's introduction is not suitable, let's change our thinking. You can privately find a matchmaker in your area and ask them to introduce you to someone."

"They specialize in this kind of thing, and they may be more reliable than the neighborhood committee."

Cai Quanwu gave the master some advice again.

As for Jia Zhang's affairs, he certainly wouldn't tell anyone about it now.

Now the master's standards are a bit high. Even if he introduces Jia Zhang to the master now, it is still unclear whether the master will be satisfied with her.

Only if the master hits the wall a few more times and faces the reality clearly, he will be more likely to accept it when you introduce it later.

Of course, if the matchmaker really finds the right one for the master, he won't suffer any loss. At least the master will be very grateful to him.

As for Jia Zhang, we can just find another old man later.

There are many old men without wives in this city.

After hearing Cai Quanwu's idea, the master thought about it and felt that it made sense.

As for matchmakers, although they take money, they do the work for the money, so they should be more reliable than the neighborhood committee.

"Okay, Xiao Cai, I'll do as you say. I'll go back and try again." The master thought about it and agreed.

"Well, Master, it's good that you think this way. In your case, it's different from being in a relationship with a young person. You have to take it slow."

"Look around, there's always something suitable."

Seeing that the master listened to his advice, Cai Quanwu comforted him again.

When the master heard this, he nodded and took out a cigarette from his pocket. Then the two of them continued to talk about this topic while smoking in the hut.

One person complained and the other listened, and before they knew it an hour had passed.

The master had made almost the same complaint and said goodbye to Cai Quanwu.

"Xiao Cai, I feel much better after chatting with you. That's all for today. I'll go home first."

The master stood up and said goodbye to Cai Quanwu with a smile.

"Okay, Master, take care." Cai Quanwu said as he saw the master out.

I returned to the room and had just sat down for a while when Sister Zhao pushed the door open.

"Quan Wu, when did you become so close to that master? Why did he come to see you again today?"

Sister Zhao just saw Cai Quanwu sending the master out the door, and she couldn't contain her curiosity, so she went to ask Cai Quanwu.

"Sister Zhao, don't you know that curiosity kills the cat? Why are you so curious?" Cai Quanwu did not directly answer Sister Zhao's question, but made a joke.

"Oh, it seems there is something between you that you can't tell each other. What is it that is so mysterious?" Sister Zhao said sarcastically.

Cai Quanwu thought, this is really hard to say.

This is not the case later. Society is very tolerant of such things and even calls it a beautiful name: sunset love.

In this day and age, these things are still hard to accept, especially for those who have children, as it is considered embarrassing.

"Sister Zhao, you think too much. The master just wanted to chat with me. He passed by here and wanted to chat with me to kill time."

Cai Quanwu did not tell the truth to Sister Zhao, but laughed it off and tried to get away with it.

"Quan Wu, who are you trying to fool? Don't forget, I knew that master before you did."

"He would never come to your door for no reason. He must have something to ask you."

Cai Quanwu wanted to brush it off, but Sister Zhao was not so easy to deal with. She had worked in the grain store for so many years and knew a lot about these old customers.

"Sister Zhao, what do you want me to say? The master was just passing by and was bored, so he chatted with me for a while."

"It only took about ten minutes. What can we say?"

Cai Quanwu began to deceive Sister Zhao with a helpless expression on his face. Anyway, Sister Zhao only saw the master leave, but did not see when the master came.

In short, he would never tell the truth even if you beat him to death.

When Sister Zhao saw Cai Quanwu's expression, she couldn't help but doubt herself.

Could it be that Quan Wu really didn't lie? The master just came to chat with him.

But Sister Zhao always felt something was wrong, but she had no evidence.

"If you don't want to tell me, then forget it. I don't want to hear it. I'm leaving now." Seeing that she couldn't get anything out of him, Sister Zhao left in a huff.

Cai Quanwu could of course hear the angry tone in Sister Zhao's words, and when Sister Zhao was leaving, he said in a teasing tone: "Sister Zhao, take care."
