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

Cai Quanwu had no idea what the second uncle and the third uncle were discussing.

However, before dinner, the second uncle went door to door to notify everyone that a meeting would be held in the evening. Cai Quanwu knew that the two of them must have hit it off.

Last time, the second uncle wanted to hold a meeting but failed. This time, his enthusiasm is extremely high.

Cai Quanwu and his friends had just finished their meal and were clearing the table when a gong sounded in the yard, making Sha Zhu full of complaints.

After quickly packing up, he took the stools and went to the yard to hold a meeting.

Soon, everyone in the courtyard gathered together, laughing and chatting in groups of three or four.

There was no objection to this conference.

Because the weather is hot, no one can go to bed so early, so everyone comes out to enjoy the cool air and have some fun.

If it were winter, there would definitely be complaints.

No one wants to come out in the cold wind.

The conference went smoothly without any unexpected problems.

After the second uncle opened the speech, he hardly said a word. The third uncle did the talking afterwards, and he just echoed him like a yes-man.

The third uncle talked a lot, and Cai Quanwu discovered that the third aunt had added water to his teacup several times.

However, in order to show that he is well-educated, the third uncle often speaks in a pedantic manner.

Cai Quanwu summarized the meaning of the third uncle's words, which was roughly that wage reform is a good thing, and asked everyone not to resist, but to actively respond to the call, cooperate with the work, and strive to create a civilized courtyard.

When the third uncle mentioned the civilized courtyard, Xu Da Nao and Sha Zhu were the first to laugh out loud.

Fortunately, the meeting had already come to an end, and the second and third uncles did not hold on to it. They just criticized the two men and asked them to be serious.

At the last moment of the meeting, it was naturally the second uncle who returned to the stage.

After the second uncle stood up and announced the end of the meeting, everyone went home after talking about it.

As for the results of the conference, the second and third uncles seemed very satisfied.

The second uncle is responsible for the opening and closing work, and the third uncle is responsible for the speech in the middle. It can be said that there is a clear division of labor and tacit cooperation.

Cai Quanwu and his friends returned home and just sat down when Sha Zhu couldn't help but complain:

"I really don't know what's wrong with the second uncle. He didn't say much, but he was so excited as if he had been injected with chicken blood."

"And the third uncle, he speaks in a pedantic way, and it feels like he speaks in an official tone even more than our factory leaders. It's a pity that he is not a leader."

When Cai Quanwu heard Sha Zhu's complaints, he almost laughed out loud. It must be said that Sha Zhu's complaints were very on point.

I think many people have the same idea as Sha Zhu.

The uncle was quibbling with words throughout his speech, and I'm sure many people didn't understand what he was saying.

As for the second uncle, Shazhu was also right, he seemed very excited and indeed gave people a feeling of being injected with chicken blood.

"Alright, that's enough of your weird talk."

Seeing that Sha Zhu seemed to have something else to say, Cai Quanwu spoke up to stop Sha Zhu from continuing.

……

After the whole hospital meeting, the topic of salary grading became a hot topic of daily discussion in Siheyuan.

Of course, this is true not only for Siheyuan, but also for all the units that received the notice.

There was never an end to the discussion on this topic in the grain store.

Time passed in this hustle and bustle.

Just at the end of July, there was another piece of good news: Xiao Wu was pregnant.

It seems that after being scolded by Cai Quanwu, Sha Zhu learned from his mistakes and has been working hard ever since.

Fortunately, we had a good harvest.

After the results of the examination, Sha Zhu and Xiao Wu immediately went back to her parents’ home to announce the good news.

That night, Sha Zhu ignored all dissuasion and insisted that Cai Quanwu drink with him.

At the end of the drinking, Cai Quan was fine, but Sha Zhu was drunk.

Maybe I have thought a lot and took the opportunity to vent.

In the end, it was Cai Quanwu who got him on the kang.

After Xiao Wu became pregnant, Sha Zhu felt so sorry for his wife that he licked her so much that even Cai Quanwu was dumbfounded.

He really used all the energy he later used on Bai Lianhua on Xiao Wu.

Xiao Wu was not allowed to do anything. He was responsible for washing clothes, dishes, cleaning pots and cooking. Sha Zhu took care of all the housework and served Xiao Wu like he was serving Empress Dowager Cixi.

Sha Zhu's actions made Cai Quanwu very embarrassed, and made him feel very uncomfortable when facing Guan Jiaqi. He didn't dare to look Guan Jiaqi in the eye when talking to her.

This made Cai Quanwu sometimes want to do it to him in private.

How could you do that?

Fortunately, there is no chicken soup in this era, so Guan Jiaqi doesn’t care.

She had enough food and drink, and her life was good enough.

With a pregnant woman in the family, the food requirements naturally improved.

The chickens raised by He Yushui had to be kept for laying eggs. Sha Zhu didn't dare to make any plans, so he had to go to the vegetable market every few days, and when he came back he either bought a chicken or a fish.

Meat is difficult to buy, and basically Cai Quanwu has to take some out from the rental house from time to time.

On this day, the steel rolling mill was not busy, so Sha Zhu said hello to Master Liu and left early in order to go to the vegetable market.

I went to the market to buy a chicken, and walked back to the courtyard with six steps that I didn't recognize.

Sha Zhu's frequent purchases of chickens and fish naturally attracted the attention of some people.

The third uncle had been waiting for Sha Zhu for several days. When he saw him coming back with the chicken, he approached him and started joking with him:

"Hey, silly Zhu, what's going on lately? It's all chicken or fish? If you want to eat fish, tell Uncle San and he'll catch some and send it to you. Why waste your money?"

Everyone in the courtyard could understand what the third uncle meant. He wanted to find a buyer for the fish he caught.

The third uncle has done this a lot in the yard.

It’s a pity that the third uncle met Sha Zhu today.

"Oh, isn't this Uncle Sanda? But you should keep the fish for yourself, I can't afford it."

"As for buying chickens and fish, they are of course for eating. Why? I have to report to you when I spend my own money to buy things?"

Sha Zhu looked at the third uncle who came up to him with a smile on his face and felt very displeased, so he spoke to him in a harsh tone.

It can be said that ever since Xiao Wu confronted the Third Uncle, Sha Zhu has always had a grudge against the Third Uncle.

I just kept it in and didn't show it.

This time when the Third Uncle came up to him, Sha Zhu certainly wouldn't give him a good look, and his words hit directly at the Third Uncle's lungs.

The third uncle was smiling at first, but after hearing what Sha Zhu said, he couldn't hold back his expression. His face changed immediately, and he started to scold Sha Zhu:

"Silly Zhu, is this the tone you use when talking to your elders? Do you know how to respect the old and love the young? You haven't improved at all in all these years."

Seeing the Third Master scolding him with a haughty attitude, Sha Zhu sneered with disdain:

"No, no, I don't have an elder like you, I don't deserve it. Also, everyone politely calls you Third Uncle, but you really think you are the uncle."

Sha Zhu's words completely irritated the Third Master, and he began to accuse Sha Zhu without thinking:

"Silly Zhu, you don't take me, your uncle, seriously. What? Do you want to make trouble in the courtyard?"

Sha Zhu was stubborn to begin with, and when he saw the Third Master accusing him unreasonably, he refused to show weakness and confronted the Third Master head-on:

"Who are you to me? I have to put you in my eyes, but you don't even take a piss to see what kind of person you are."

"You want me to rebel against heaven? What? Are you the heaven of this courtyard? You can't say anything about others?"

"If that's the case, I'll go to the street right now and ask when our courtyard had such a sky."
