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

As soon as Sister Zhao finished speaking, Brother Li’s face turned dark.

This statement is too directive.

As soon as Brother Li finished speaking, Sister Zhao sighed and said that it had nothing to do with Brother Li, but he didn't believe it.

After hearing this, Cai Quanwu almost couldn't help laughing.

I was wondering if Brother Li had offended Sister Zhao in some way today.

Otherwise why would Sister Zhao always target him?

But think about it, it should be impossible, there is no conflict between the two of them, it is probably an unintentional remark.

Seeing that Brother Li looked unhappy, Cai Quanwu deliberately redirected the topic and joked with Sister Zhao: "Sister Zhao, did Brother Li offend you in some way? You keep making fun of him."

When Sister Zhao heard Cai Quanwu's joke, she realized that what she said just now was a little inappropriate, and immediately explained:

"No, don't try to sow discord here. I just said this casually after hearing what Xiao Li said. It has nothing to do with Xiao Li."

"I mean young people today have it much better than we did back then."

"Children nowadays can go to school and work in factories after graduation."

"At that time, we didn't even have enough food to eat, let alone study. We also lived in fear that bad guys would break into our house."

“It was no different from living in hell.”

After Sister Zhao finished speaking, Cai Quanwu looked at Brother Li and found that Brother Li's complexion had improved a lot.

Because Sister Zhao's explanation does hold water.

Although this era cannot be compared with later generations, it is undoubtedly much better than the era of war and chaos.

At least you don't have to worry about losing your life at any time.

"Then please explain it clearly. We were thinking that you were implying something about Brother Li." Cai Quanwu said in a teasing tone.

"I just said it casually. How could I have thought of so much?" Sister Zhao said embarrassedly.

Everyone knew Sister Zhao's character, so no one doubted her when she said that.

As soon as the misunderstanding was resolved, Xiao Wu came out with two bags, handed them to Sister Zhao, and said with a smile:

"Sister Zhao, I've packed it. Please weigh it."

"You can't do it yourself." Sister Zhao said this, but immediately took the two bags in her hands.

Cai Quanwu looked at Sister Zhao, who was so harsh in her words, and shook his head.

That is to say, there are few people in the grain store, and if Sister Zhao goes to a place with many people, she will definitely offend people.

The more people there are in a unit, the more complicated the interpersonal relationships are.

Sister Zhao put the two bags on the scale and weighed them. She refunded the excess and added the deficit. After she was done, she handed the two bags back to Xiao Wu.

"Thank you, Sister Zhao." Xiao Wu took the bag, put it aside, and expressed his gratitude to Sister Zhao with a smile.

"You just know how to sweet-talk." Sister Zhao rolled her eyes at Xiao Wu and said unhappily.

"Haha." Xiao Wu smiled and said nothing.

After a while, a customer came in. Cai Quanwu took the opportunity to say hello to everyone and slipped back to the cabin.

……

"Mr. Cai, what did you buy today?"

Cai Quanwu and Xiao Wu were going home after get off work when they met the old man guarding the gate of the courtyard. He stared at the two bags on the bicycle and asked with a smile.

"Nothing. The Dragon Boat Festival is coming soon. I bought some yellow rice and will make some rice dumplings later." Cai Quanwu had no intention of hiding anything and told the truth directly.

When we make rice dumplings, people in the courtyard will definitely know that there is no need.

"If you hadn't told me, I would have almost forgotten that the Dragon Boat Festival is coming soon."

"You bought so much yellow rice, you have to make a lot of rice dumplings."

"I think there's probably a lot left if everyone in this courtyard has one."

When the third uncle heard Cai Quanwu talking about making rice dumplings, his eyes rolled and he tried to test Cai Quanwu with words.

If they could get a few rice dumplings from Cai Quanwu, their family wouldn't have to make them during the festival and could save some money.

As soon as Cai Quanwu heard what the third uncle said, he knew what he was planning.

There is one for each person in the courtyard. You have the nerve to say that.

I really think he is a good man.

"Old Yan, you think too much. Some of the rice here belongs to my colleagues."

"They couldn't wrap it well, so they asked me to take it back and ask Zhuzi to wrap it for them too."

"How can we, as a family, buy so much rice? That would be a waste."

Cai Quanwu's words directly shattered the Third Uncle's fantasy. He smiled awkwardly and said:

"Oh, I see."

"I thought these were bought by you, Old Cai."

"It's enough to eat a few rice dumplings during the festival. Who would make so many? We are not stupid." Cai Quan said with a hint of meaning.

After saying this, Cai Quanwu deliberately asked:

"By the way, Old Yan, how much are you going to pack?"

The third uncle had no intention of making zongzi at all. When he heard Cai Quanwu's question, he evaded the question and said, "I haven't decided yet. There are still a few days left. There's no rush."

"Old Yan, you have a big family, you must not pack less, otherwise there won't be enough to eat."

"Okay, Old Yan, I don't want to chat with you anymore. I have to go back."

After Cai Quanwu finished speaking, he pushed his bicycle and walked into the yard without looking back.

The third uncle looked at Cai Quanwu's back and sighed.

He felt that it was becoming increasingly difficult for Cai Quanwu to take advantage of him.

Looking back to when Cai Quanwu first came, he took advantage of a lot of things.

Like when Sha Zhu was repairing the house, Cai Quanwu would often invite these old men to drink.

But the longer Cai Quanwu stayed in the hospital, the harder it became to get any advantage.

Until now, it is difficult to get a bargain on a cigarette.

Alas, it seemed like a long time ago that he last smoked Cai Quanwu’s cigarettes.

After expressing his emotion, the third uncle withdrew his gaze and continued to stand guard.

He has to make up for the losses he suffered from Tsai Quanwu.

When Cai Quanwu pushed his bicycle back to the doorstep, he saw Qin Huairu standing at the door, while Banggeng was climbing up and down the steps at the door, having a lot of fun.

"Uncle Cai is back." Qin Huairu saw Cai Quanwu and greeted him with a smile.

"Ah."

"How about playing with the stick?"

Cai Quanwu parked his bicycle and chatted with Qin Huairu with a smile.

"Well, the child is still young and can't stay at home." Qin Huairu replied with a smile.

"Kids are like that."

Cai Quanwu opened the door while talking to Qin Huairu.

After the door opened, Cai Quanwu went into the room, took off his bag and put it away, then immediately came out again.

After coming out, Cai Quanwu took the bag off his bicycle and headed towards Shazhu.

After walking a few steps, Cai Quanwu remembered that Jia Zhang and the master had agreed to go to the master's house, so he turned around and asked:

"Dongxu wife, where is your mother?"

"Have you ever been to the master's house?"

When Qin Huairu heard Cai Quanwu ask about this, his eyes flickered and he said vaguely:

"My mother went out and hasn't come back yet. I don't know if she went to see the master."

When Cai Quanwu heard this, he had no idea why Jia Zhang was going out.

As for Jia Zhang, she usually stays in the nest like an old hen hatching chicks without moving.

Now that I can go out, you don’t have to guess to know that I went to that master’s place.

As for why he hasn't come back yet, it's probably because he's enjoying his life here.

Looking at Qin Huairu with a flickering look in his eyes, Cai Quanwu said meaningfully:

"Daughter-in-law Dongxu, wait for your mother to come back and tell her to hurry up and don't let the cooked duck fly away."
