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

Except for Shazhu, everyone enjoyed the meal very much.

After the meal, He Yushui threw down the bowl and ran out as usual, while Sha Zhu, with a heavy heart, cleaned up the dishes with Xiao Wu.

I worked absent-mindedly and dropped my chopsticks on the ground when I was cleaning up, for which Xiao Wu glared at me several times.

Probably feeling a little unhappy, Xiao Wu cleaned up the dishes, wiped the table, and didn't go to help Sha Zhu wash the dishes. He sat there and started chatting with Guan Jiaqi.

When Sha Zhu saw that Xiao Wu ignored him, he had no choice but to take the dishes and go out to wash them himself.

Cai Quanwu saw Xiao Wu and Guan Jiaqi chatting there, so he followed Sha Zhu out of the door, lit a cigarette, and started smoking happily.

After smoking for a while, Sha Zhu washed the dishes and sent them back to the kitchen. He ran to Cai Quanwu and mentioned Jia Zhangshi again: "Uncle, I always feel that Jia Zhangshi will not return to the countryside."

Hearing Sha Zhu bring up this matter again, Cai Quanwu glanced at Sha Zhu, then flicked the cigarette butt in his hand, snorted coldly, and asked:

"What does this have to do with you? What does it have to do with you? Are you the only one who is smart?"

After some questioning, Tsai said without criticism:

"Eat carrots and worry less."

It’s not that Cai Quan had to have this attitude towards Sha Zhu, he was afraid that if he didn’t teach Sha Zhu a lesson, this big mouth would keep yelling everywhere.

When Jia Dongxu hears about it, he will definitely bear a grudge against him.

No one else said anything, but you said it? Do you want to show that you are capable?

Some things are better seen than spoken.

They really thought that everyone in the courtyard was a fool. After the Jia family's performance, everyone really believed that Jia Zhang was going back to the countryside.

Cai Quanwu is sure that many of the neighbors who are familiar with Jia Zhang today do not believe it.

It’s like when a family is having a meal and a guest comes, they will ask if the guest has eaten. Generally speaking, no matter whether the guest has eaten or not, the guest will say he has eaten.

Although the host doesn't know whether the guest has eaten or not, he will only ask, "Why are you eating so early today?" or "Then eat some more."

Even if you feel that the guest hasn’t eaten, you won’t say it directly, you definitely didn’t eat it.

If you say it directly, it will make the guests feel embarrassed.

The guest would think that the host would not suspect that he deliberately waited until mealtime to come.

The same is true here. Whether Jia Zhang's words about returning to the countryside are true or not, they have nothing to do with the people in the courtyard and will not harm their interests.

There is no life-or-death grudge, so everyone is just ignorant.

Do you have to say it out loud to embarrass the other person?

Some things, it's enough to just know them in your heart.

After being taught a lesson by Cai Quanwu, Sha Zhu stood there with a red face and said awkwardly, "Well, I'm just curious."

"Curiosity kills the cat. Spend more time with your wife when you have time. You got married earlier than me. Now your aunt is pregnant, but your wife is still not pregnant." Cai Quanwu directly gave Sha Zhu a critical hit.

This time, Sha Zhu was completely speechless. He moved his mouth slightly but said nothing.

Inside the room, Xiao Wu and Guan Jiaqi were listening to Cai Quanwu scolding Sha Zhu with great interest.

Unexpectedly, Cai Quanwu said this at the end, which made the two of them blush.

"Pooh, pooh, pooh, what nonsense is this guy talking about." Guan Jiaqi complained in order to ease the embarrassment.

"Good lesson." Xiao Wu cheered.

Guan Jiaqi is pregnant, and Xiao Wu is under a lot of pressure because she got married earlier than Guan Jiaqi.

Now that Cai Quanwu is teaching Sha Zhu a lesson like this, people will naturally think that the problem lies with Sha Zhu, and she will definitely not refute what Cai Quanwu says.

After teaching Sha Zhu a lesson, Cai Quanwu went out for a stroll with his hands behind his back.

Sha Zhu looked at Cai Quanwu who walked out with his hands behind his back. He originally wanted to raise his feet to follow him, but just as he raised his feet, he put them back, turned around and went home. He secretly swore in his heart that when his wife became pregnant, he would also go out with his hands behind his back.

……

Cai Quanwu walked outside the courtyard gate and found that some people were sitting in the shade discussing Jia Zhang's return to the countryside.

This matter is destined to be a hot topic in Siheyuan in the next few days.

"Go out." Someone saw Cai Quanwu and greeted him.

"Go out for a walk." Cai Quanwu responded with a smile.

"It's so hot, what's the point of walking around?" said another neighbor.

"Not bad." Cai Quanwu replied as he walked.

The neighbor's words reminded Cai Quanwu that the weather was getting hotter and his wife was pregnant, so he had to find a way to solve this problem.

However, in this era, the possibility of buying an electric fan is very low.

Some leading cadres may not be able to buy it, let alone Cai Quanwu.

I don't want to buy a new Cai Quan Wu Ken, but I don't know if the consignment store can buy a broken one.

Cai Quanwu knew a little about circuits and was wondering if he could find some benefit.

Thinking about going back to take a look.

In fact, it doesn’t matter if there is no fan. There are electric fans in the rental house, but they are very different from what we have now.

If it doesn't work, just disassemble the motor and make one by hand.

As long as the fan blades can turn and there is wind, it's fine.

Cai Quanwu thought about his hands-on ability and pondered the feasibility all the way.

After thinking it over, if I try a few more times and experiment a few more times, there shouldn't be any major problems.

Having made up his mind, Cai Quanwu wanted to try it when he had nothing to do at work.

……

After walking around Nanluoguxiang, Cai Quanwu returned to the courtyard again.

"Lao Cai."

Before Cai Quanwu reached the gate of the courtyard, he heard someone calling him. He looked up and saw the second uncle walking towards him.

"Old Liu, what's the matter?" Cai Quanwu asked when the two met.

"You know about Jia Zhang's return to the countryside, right?" Cai Quanwu had just finished asking when the second uncle started talking about Jia Zhang's return to the countryside.

"I know, what's the matter?" Cai Quanwu answered and asked back.

"Why do you think Jia Zhang suddenly wants to go back to the countryside?" The second uncle did not answer Cai Quanwu's question, but asked him instead.

"Why do you worry about this? It's just a good thing that Jia Zhang has returned to the countryside. She won't affect the image of our courtyard in the future." Cai Quanwu joked.

Last time, the second uncle said that Jia Zhang did not come home at night, which affected the image of the courtyard house. Cai Quanwu was using his words to shut him up.

"That's the truth, but I don't feel at ease." The second uncle thought for a while and said.

"Old Liu, are you feeling uneasy because you think you won't be able to see Jia Zhang again in the future?" Cai Quanwu joked with the second uncle.

Hearing Cai Quanwu's joke, the second uncle turned his head and looked around, then said seriously:

"Old Cai, you can't say such nonsense."

Looking at the serious-looking Second Uncle, Cai Quanwu felt a little bored and had to get serious:

"Okay, I was just kidding you, but you took it seriously. By the way, didn't you discuss holding a meeting with Old Yan last time? I've been waiting for a few days, but there's no response."

"Hey, I get angry just talking about this. When I went to see Old Yan, he initially agreed to hold a meeting, but then I told him about your suggestion and he changed his mind."

"How can this person change his mind so easily?"

When the second uncle heard Cai Quanwu asking about the meeting, he started complaining and felt that the third uncle was unreliable.

"How would I know? It just so happens that the meeting was originally held for Jia Zhang, and now she has returned to the countryside, so it's much easier." Cai Quanwu said nonchalantly.

He could guess why the third uncle suddenly changed his mind, but he just didn't want to tell the second uncle.

The third uncle was such a smart man, and when he heard the second uncle say that Tsai Quanwu had raised some opinions, he naturally understood that Tsai Quanwu did not want to hold a meeting and make a big deal out of it.

The main reason is that what Cai Quanwu said made sense, and the third uncle couldn't refute it.

After Cai Quanwu finished speaking, the second uncle spoke after a long while:

"Old Cai, do you think Jia Zhang suddenly returned to the countryside? Did she commit some crime outside and want to escape?"
