The ups and downs of life in the Siheyuan

After the movie ended, the lights turned on, and she woke up. She looked at where she was, as if she didn't care, sat up straight, stretched, stood up and said, "Go home."

Li Yuan followed him out of the cinema with a constipated look on his face.

After walking out of the north gate, onto Wangfujing Street, and walking to the station, she never looked back.

Looking at her red side face and red earlobes, Li Yuan didn't expose her, and followed her like a frustrated little daughter-in-law.

While waiting for the bus, she slowly regained her composure and her complexion also recovered a lot.

"This wine is a little over the top, my face is so hot!", she actually found a reasonable reason.

The excuse immediately made her breathe a sigh of relief.

Then he looked at Li Yuan provocatively, "Did you take advantage of me while I was sleeping?"

This powerful brain circuit dumbfounded Li Yuan and said, "No, definitely not."

"It's okay if you don't have it. You're still a man." She leaned over and looked at the direction the bus was coming from.

Li Yuan always felt that she was swearing. Could this be another version of "worse than animals"?

Now he feels a little regretful, living in the dark, a drunk woman, oh my, I can't think about it.

The bus arrived at the station, not far from home. When buying the ticket, she just said the same thing.

Now that he was there, he didn't know what to say and stared at her blankly.

"Let's go to your house. I still smell of alcohol in my mouth. When I get home, I'll get scolded again."

Li Yuan reacted and took the lead without arguing with her.

"The house is a little rundown and a little messy, so don't dislike it." Li Yuan said he was vaccinated in advance.

"Don't worry, I'm not a coquettish girl." The little girl looked like a big sister.

After entering the courtyard, several aunts were sitting in the courtyard busy with their work and chatting. The Sun family's daughter-in-law was chatting happily today, which was rare today.

The arrival of Li Yuan alarmed everyone.

"Hey, Xiao Li, is this your partner?" the third aunt asked first.

"No, just a friend." Li Yuan didn't know what the little girl really thought and didn't dare to agree.

"Oh, I'm sorry, they look like a couple."

"Yes, the man is tall and handsome, and the woman is slim and delicate."

. . . . .

Zhao Xiuqin stood beside Li Yuan with a smile, like a little daughter-in-law, and did not refute.

Li Yuan couldn't stand it, "Well, ladies and gentlemen, let's go home first."

"Go back, just watch," the third aunt said on behalf of everyone.

"Goodbye, aunts," the little girl waved enthusiastically to all the aunts.

Entering the room, Li Yuan said awkwardly: "All the women in the compound are like this, don't worry about it."

Zhao Xiuqin looked at him strangely, "I care!"

If it was an ordinary girl, he would have just followed the trend and kissed her.

But today I learned from her words that this little girl has an unusual family. He had to think calmly, he didn't want to cause trouble for himself.

Now he deeply regrets taking her home. "These old ladies are too, they are so rude," he can only complain in his heart.

"You sit down first and I'll get you some water." Li Yuan hurriedly broke the ambiguity that made him nervous.

Seeing Li Yuan's embarrassment, Zhao Xiuqin seemed to understand what he was thinking and did not continue. Instead, she sat down as instructed, picked up the water glass and took a sip.

"I'll light the stove first." Li Yuan started to get busy again.

At this time, she put down the cup and said, "Your house is quite messy. Let me help you clean it up."

After saying that, he took off his coat, hung it on the hook behind the door, rolled up his sleeves, and started packing.

Li Yuan wanted to stop it, but after thinking about it, he put down his hand and started lighting the stove.

The stove was lit and a pot of water was about to be boiled. Li Yuan just followed her exquisite figure and moved his eyes.

From her skillful movements, Li Yuan knew that she was not a young lady with clean hands, but a good woman who often worked hard.

Thinking about this era, I feel relieved.

"It's ready." She wiped the sweat from her forehead with the back of her hand.

"Your house is too spacious. It's time to buy some furniture." After saying this, she began to imagine that there should be a bookcase here and a large wardrobe here. . .

The more she talked, the more excited she became, as if she was playing with her new home.

Li Yuan didn't dare to think too much, he just admired it blindly.

In the end, Li Yuan felt that her description was too ordinary, had no privacy, and the space utilization was too low, so he dug out his past design drawings.

"Look, this is a design with modern concepts."

Zhao Xiuqin looked at it for a while and figured out the doorway. Then she closed her eyes and imagined, then opened her eyes and looked at the drawings, and then looked around the house.

There is more and more sparkle in his eyes.

"What a beautiful design, I like it so much." After saying that, he suddenly punched Li Yuan on the arm.

As if he suddenly realized something again, his face turned red with embarrassment. To cover it up, she got up and started walking around the house, modeling it in her head.

"You're amazing!" After saying this, he made a beautiful half-turn, causing his hair to fly in the air, and then fall smoothly on his shoulders.

Li Yuan's eyes widened.

"Does it look good?"

"nice!"

The subconscious exchange between the two made Zhao Xiuqin's face heat up.

In order to cover up, she had nothing to say, "When are you going to clean up the house?"

Her words brought Li Yuan back to reality, "Hey! It's just an imagination. There is too much shortage of steel and concrete now."

"Then tell me." She sat opposite Li Yuan.

Li Yuan took the drawing, turned to the calculated data on the back, and explained it to her one by one.

She pondered for a while and said, "Cement is not a problem. There are too many steel bars. It is difficult to deal with it now. You can consider reducing the steel bars and using more logs."

"Isn't it difficult to deal with logs now?"

"Hey, there is a lot of logs used locally, but I know a place in Kyoto that has no shortage of logs."

"That's great".

Li Yuan took out the blank paper and started to calculate again.

Since most of them are made of logs, for the sake of safety, we can only cancel the fire pit and adopt a tatami-like design.

The height of the original Kang (tatami) remains unchanged, and it can be used as a storage space.

The entire floor and one-meter-high walls of the room were reinforced with concrete and red bricks to prevent rats from burrowing.

Li Yuan was sketching and calculating, while Zhao Xiuqin lay aside and watched, putting forward suggestions for improvement from time to time.

Slowly, the two of them moved their heads together without realizing it.

"The data is out." Li Yuan turned to look at Zhao Xiuqin. Suddenly, his lips felt soft, and he noticed the profile of her face.

Zhao Xiuqin fell back in fright, and Li Yuan reached out to hug her.

The two looked at each other in a very awkward posture.

Zhao Xiuqin's right leg was on the ground, her left leg was raised, her left arm was stretched back, and her right hand was holding Li Yuan's clothes.

Li Yuan's buttocks were next to the bench, leaning to the left, his left hand holding her waist, and his right hand grabbing her sweater on the chest.

Not long after they looked at each other, Li Yuan slowly possessed her and pressed towards her delicate lips.

She suddenly exerted force, turned her head to avoid Li Yuan's mouth, distanced herself, and tried to stand up, "No, we are not husband and wife yet!"

Her tone was firm, but her eyes were pleading.

Understanding the customs of this era, Li Yuan was afraid of scaring her and leaving a shadow on her, so he helped her stand up.

Watching her pull away and cover her face in silence, Li Yuandao said: "You are so beautiful, I just couldn't help myself."

She put down her hands and looked at Li Yuan seriously, "Give me some time, okay?"
