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

The next day.

As soon as Cai Quanwu and Xiao Wu walked into the grain store, Sister Zhao asked, "Quanwu, why did you ask for leave when everything was fine? When we asked Xiao Wu, he also said he didn't know. We were still worried that something had happened."

"Nothing happened. I just took my wife to the hospital for a check-up. I'm sorry to have made you worry." Cai Quanwu knew that Sister Zhao had no bad intentions and was just speaking her mind, so he explained with a smile.

Sister Zhao reacted quickly. After hearing what Cai Quanwu said, her eyes lit up: "Quanwu, is your wife pregnant?"

“Sister Zhao, you are this.”

Cai Quanwu did not expect Sister Zhao to react so quickly, but he did not give a direct answer. He just gave Sister Zhao a thumbs up.

"This is such a happy event, no wonder you have to take leave. Congratulations." Cai Quanwu gave a thumbs up, and Sister Zhao knew that she had guessed correctly, and quickly congratulated him.

When Sister Liu, Master Chen and Brother Li heard Sister Zhao congratulating Cai Quanwu, they realized what was going on and also congratulated Cai Quanwu.

After expressing his gratitude, Cai Quanwu gave Master Chen and Brother Li a cigarette and returned to his own cabin.

After cleaning the hut, Cai Quanwu made a cup of tea, sat there and smoked a cigarette, humming a tune.

After staying in the room for more than an hour, Cai Quanwu felt like going to the bathroom.

As soon as I went out, I saw Director Ma walking towards me from the back door of the grain store.

"Director." When Cai Quanwu saw Director Ma, he quickly stepped forward and greeted him.

"Quanwu, where are you going?" Director Ma also saw Cai Quanwu leaving and asked with a smile.

"I'm going to the bathroom. Director, do you have something to ask?" Cai Quanwu thought that Director Ma wanted to see him about something.

"It's okay. I heard that your wife is pregnant, so I came here to congratulate you." Director Ma replied with a smile.

"Thank you, Director. I just got pregnant." Cai Quanwu thanked Director Ma, took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed it to him.

The two of them lit up cigarettes and chatted for a few more words. Then Director Ma went back to the grain store. It was normal for him to come over and say congratulations.

As soon as Director Ma left, Cai Quanwu rushed to the toilet, feeling very uncomfortable.

……

In the following days, Cai Quanwu went to work peacefully and everything in the courtyard was also calm.

Since Guan Jiaqi became pregnant, Cai Quanwu has been much more diligent at home.

In the past, Guan Jiaqi would prepare the water for washing face and feet, and then call Cai Quanwu to wash his face and feet.

Now, Cai Quanwu took the initiative to take on these tasks and no longer let Guan Jiaqi do them. Moreover, Cai Quanwu would take out some of his own braised beef and pork from the rental house every now and then to improve the food.

Nowadays, the weather is hot and many things cannot be preserved. Also, fresh meat has a strong aroma, and if it is cooked frequently, it is easy to get into trouble.

The weather is hot, and braised dishes are more suitable.

When Cai Quanwu is at work, he spends most of his time slacking off.

With nothing to do, he separated a place in the house that could not be seen from the outside, and called it a lunch break, as he could not sleep in the light.

In fact, during the lunch break, I just close the door and go into the rental house to tinker with the braised meat.

There is no way. Apart from a few pieces of bacon and some eggs laid by a few chickens raised by He Yushui, Sha Zhu's family has nothing else in stock. If Cai Quanwu does not increase his subjective initiative, the food at home will get worse and worse.

But there is an advantage, that is, as the weather gets warmer, there are more varieties of vegetables available in the market, and you can eat them in different ways.

Guan Jiaqi is also very satisfied with her current life. In her words, she has been living like Lao Lafayette in the past, doing nothing except washing two sets of clothes.

Originally, Xiao Wu wanted to take over the task of washing clothes, but Guan Jiaqi did not agree.

He Yushui now also runs to Cai Quanwu's place every day, thinking about taking his younger brother out to play.

……

That night, Cai Quanwu and Guan Jiaqi came to Sha Zhu's house for dinner as usual.

While eating, Sha Zhu suddenly said mysteriously: "Uncle, have you heard that Aunt Jia often goes out at night and doesn't come back. I don't know where she goes."

After hearing what Sha Zhu said, Cai Quanwu was stunned for a moment.

Originally, after so many days had passed and there had been no news from the courtyard, he thought the matter was over.

This made him think that he was judging others by his own standards and that he had wronged the third uncle.

I didn't expect the news to come today.

After thinking about it, Cai Quanwu felt that the third uncle should have been the first one to find him, but he did not take the bait. Instead, he took the opportunity to scold him.

If someone else had been contacted first, the news wouldn't have taken so long to get out.

I just don't know who the third uncle found and who spread the news.

"Who told you that?" Cai Quanwu took a bite of the food and asked calmly.

"Liu Haizhong." Sha Zhu called the second uncle by his name.

When Cai Quanwu heard that it was the second uncle, he was a little confused.

When did the second uncle become a gossipmonger and start spreading gossip?

"Why is Second Uncle talking to you about this so nicely?" Cai Quanwu was very confused.

"He didn't tell me, but he told Jia Dongxu. The three of us just happened to come back together." Sha Zhu explained.

"Tell me about it in detail." Cai Quanwu wanted to hear the whole story.

Seeing that Cai had no interest, Sha Zhu began to describe the situation vividly:

"Uncle, you don't know what's going on. Let me tell you, it's very interesting."

"After get off work today, Jia Dongxu, Liu Haizhong and I met at the factory gate and walked back together."

"Halfway through the journey, Liu Haizhong suddenly acted like a big shot to Jia Dongxu and asked him to take care of Jia Zhang, saying that a widow who often stayed out all night would affect the image of the courtyard."

"If Jia Dongxu doesn't take care of it anymore, the second uncle said he would call a meeting of the whole hospital and let Jia Zhangshi make a self-criticism."

"After Jia Dongxu heard this, his face changed immediately and he kept explaining that his mother had gone to a relative's house."

Sha Zhu paused here, then said in an affirmative tone: "I think Jia Dongxu is lying, Jia Zhangshi definitely did not go to her relatives' house."

After listening to Sha Zhu's story, Cai Quanwu roughly knew how the third uncle spread the news.

Unexpectedly, the third uncle failed to succeed in his plan and instead set his sights on the second uncle, Liu Haizhong.

I don’t know why Uncle San didn’t do this at the beginning.

Maybe it was just a coincidence that day and he happened to run into it, so the uncle suddenly had an idea and wanted to kill two birds with one stone.

You have to know that the third uncle's foot was pierced, which had nothing to do with Cai Quanwu, and Sha Zhu is also a big mouth.

Once he finds out and tells Sha Zhu about it, it will probably spread throughout the steel mill in a few days.

Wouldn't that be killing two birds with one stone? Not only would the Jia family be disgusted, but Jia Zhang would also be able to cause trouble for Sha Zhu.

However, the third uncle had planned everything, but he didn't expect that Cai Quanwu knew the inside story. Not only did he ignore him, he also took the opportunity to criticize him.

As for how to let the second uncle know, that’s very simple.

As long as the third aunt and the second aunt mentioned it casually when chatting, the second aunt would definitely tell the second uncle when she got home.

Besides, the Second Uncle is always fond of showing off, and he would definitely not miss any chance to show off his power.

The third uncle has a serious plan for the second uncle.

Cai Quanwu was a little curious about Sha Zhu's certainty that Jia Dongxu was lying, so he asked with a smile:

"Oh, how can you be so sure that Jia Zhang didn't go to her relative's house?"

Hearing this question, Sha Zhu curled his lips and analyzed: "I'm not really stupid. When the second uncle said that Jia Zhang didn't come home at night, Jia Dongxu's face changed. If there is really no problem, is it that serious?"
