Siheyuan: All the incense in the family is counting on you

At noon, my uncle came to the factory.

From his expression, I knew that the house issue had not been resolved: "Uncle, what's going on? Is it not working?"

"Alas, we are a step too late. Yan Laoxi got there first. The two-room house is gone. Only the single room is left!"

Li Bowen also felt it was a pity: "The single room is not good enough. The single room is only about 10 square meters, right?"

"Of course I have. I have seen a twelve-square-meter room, four meters by three meters. If you put a bed and a cabinet in it, there is basically no space left."

"Then you didn't want it?"

"Why not? The rent is only one dollar a month, so of course I should occupy it first, and then I can change it when I get a house later." The uncle took out a piece of paper with a red seal on it from his pocket.

"Hehehe, you still have a way!" Li Bowen laughed immediately.

The house only cost one dollar a month. Even though it is only 12 square meters, in the new century, this house could be worth several hundred dollars. It was really free!

"Of course. I have known Director Wang of the Street Office for many years. How could he not do this?"

"So when do we clean up?"

"I have already contacted the master, and will start the renovation tomorrow. That means opening a window, re-tiling the floor, and painting the walls white. People will be able to move in in seven or eight days!"

Li Bowen nodded: "Okay, I'll move in over there after the installation is done, and let my eldest sister live with you in the west wing."

Speaking of my eldest sister, my uncle asked again: "What do you think? If we bring my eldest sister to the city, how will she find a job? Her household registration is in the village, and it's hard to get her here even if she wants to."

"Let's take it one step at a time. I just feel that my elder sister is suffering in the countryside. If she can't do it anymore, she can do some manual labor! It's better than farming at home and earning work points!"

"Okay, we don't need that little bit of food anyway, if it doesn't work, we can just keep him and reduce the burden on your uncle!"

"That's right! The girl is more careful than the boy, and she can even chat with her aunt at home!"

When he got home from get off work in the afternoon, the uncle at the door saw Li Bowen and came to greet him: "Bowen, your girlfriend is here, go home quickly."

"My partner?" Li Bowen was confused. When did I have a partner?

"Yeah, I've been here for over half an hour, and I'm pretty good-looking. Where are you from?"

"Uncle, I really don't know about this. I'll go back and check first." After saying that, he ignored Yan Bugui and went straight back home.

Sure enough, the aunt at home was holding a girl's hand. The eldest sister was staring at them with curiosity. When she saw Li Bowen coming back, she kept winking at him.

"Why is it you?"

The girl turned around and smiled: "It's me, why don't you go to the hospital to change the medicine? I have to make a special trip."

"Ouch, I forgot!" Li Bowen touched his head which was still wrapped in gauze, and suddenly felt a dull pain again.

"Okay, I've brought all the medicines. Hurry up, I'll change them for you!" Gong Ermei patted her bag.

The old lady spoke at the right time: "Okay, you two can change the medicine. Big sister, come and cook with me."

After saying that, the aunt pulled the extremely reluctant eldest sister away, and they were the only two left in the room.

The atmosphere was a little awkward, and it was Gong Ermei who broke the awkwardness first. She opened her bag and stood up: "Come sit here, let me see if your wound has healed."

The gauze on Li Bowen's head was peeled off layer by layer. "Well, the recovery is pretty good. The scab has begun to form. The stitches can be removed in a few days! I'll change the dressing for you. It may hurt a little, please bear with it."

Gong Ermei changed the medicine skillfully.

The alcohol sterilization was really painful. Seeing Li Bowen's clenched fist, Gong Ermei's movements became gentler. "You agreed to come and play with me during the break. Why didn't you come over on the weekend?"

Li Bowen thought she was just joking at the time and naturally didn't take it to heart.

But now that someone has asked me this, I can’t answer like this: “I went back to my hometown with my uncle and aunt over the weekend. How about we meet next weekend?”

Gong Ermei hesitated for a moment: "I'm on duty next weekend, I'll see if I can switch shifts, if I can, I'll go!"

"Okay, I'll ask you in advance. How about we go boating in the North Sea?"

"I'll do whatever you say! You have to change the medicine on Saturday, so let's go to the hospital!" Gong Ermei said with a blushing face.

Soon, the medicine was changed and I packed my things into my bag: "The medicine is changed, then I'll leave first!"

"No, you're going to come here, how can you leave without having a meal?"

"I can't. I'm so embarrassed. Besides, my family is waiting for me!"

The main reason why Gong Ermei refused was that she felt embarrassed. It took a lot of courage for her to take the initiative to find Li Bowen. As they were not yet in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship, it would be too embarrassing for her to stay at his house for dinner.

"How about this, I'll take you back and we'll find a place to eat on the way?" Li Bowen suggested.

"Yeah, okay!"

Two people came out of the house: "Auntie, Ermei is leaving, I'm going to see her off!"

"Hey, why don't you eat at home before leaving? I've already cooked!" The old lady came out of the kitchen holding a spoon.

"No, Auntie, I've just changed the medicine. My family is waiting for me to go back!"

Li Bowen also said, "Auntie, you guys eat. I'll take her back. We'll talk on the way."

"Oh, okay, then go ahead!" The old lady also understood and stopped trying to keep them.

There was really nothing delicious to eat on the road at that time. Even in the big restaurants, there were only a few dishes. It was not that they didn’t want to serve them, but they really didn’t have the ingredients.

The two of them had a meal together outside and sent Gong Ermei to her doorstep. Only after watching her go in did Li Bowen return.

After arriving home, naturally, the aunt pulled me aside and questioned me again.

After dealing with a few words, Li Bowen ran back to Sha Zhu's house in the middle courtyard as if escaping.

Silent all night.

Get up in the morning

Li Bowen stretched and said, "Ah~!"

This bed of bench and wood is really uncomfortable to sleep on. I'm afraid I'll turn over and fall off, and it creaks when I move.

He got out of bed, opened the door and prepared to go out to take care of some personal issues.

Outside the door, Qin Huairu was bending over and washing vegetables in the sink: "Sister-in-law Jia, why are you up so early in the morning to cook?"

Qin Huairu stood up straight and smiled at Li Bowen: "My mother-in-law is not feeling well and is resting!"

Li Bowen glanced at the Jia family and sneered as he passed by Qin Huairu: "It's quite interesting. They are uncomfortable for 28 out of 30 days in a month, and they let their pregnant daughter-in-law wash clothes and cook!"

After saying that, he ignored Qin Huairu and walked to the front yard.

Qin Huairu looked at Li Bowen's back and suddenly felt a little sour in her nose. She quickly wiped the sore on her face and then bent down to wash the vegetables.

When I arrived at the front yard, I found that someone had already started working in the rented back house.

"Oh my god, it's so early!"

After solving his personal problems, Li Bowen walked to the door and looked at the people working inside: "Master, you have worked hard. You came here so early!"

The man who was working with his head down raised his head and grinned: "The sooner you finish the work, the sooner you can move in!"

At this time, Li Bowen was already standing there in a daze, and almost called out "Secretary Dakang".
