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

Li Bowen sat at the table and took a sip of his milk tea. "After handing over to Secretary Muren, we have to go to the surrounding communes. Our mission this time is to negotiate with as many cooperative communes as possible to ensure the meat supply for the workers in the factory!"

"Then shall I go with you?"

"Don't you need a sheepherder?"

"Anyone can do that job. I'll go talk to Secretary Muren later and ask if I can be your guide, okay?" Qi Qige looked at Li Bowen with his big eyes blinking.

"Okay, as long as the secretary agrees, I have no objection!" Li Bowen nodded, then looked around: "Where's your mother?"

"I've been busy since early morning. If I hadn't been waiting for you, I would have gone to work long ago!"

After waiting for Li Bowen to finish breakfast, the two of them went to the commune compound together.

At this time, Secretary Muren and some young and middle-aged people had already been waiting at the commune. The materials on the truck had to be unloaded and put in the warehouse today. The official handover had not taken place yesterday, so they could not do anything on their own and had to wait until Li Bowen arrived.

Seeing so many people waiting, Li Bowen ran over embarrassedly: "Sorry, Secretary Muren, I slept a little too long!"

"It's okay. We just got together."

"Let's start moving now!" Li Bowen quickly called the people in his purchasing department, and each person was responsible for a car and handed over the goods to the people in the commune according to the list.

Taking advantage of the handover time, Li Bowen talked to Secretary Muren about contacting other communes. Muren agreed very readily, helped him write a few letters of introduction, and then found someone to lead him to other communes.

After everything was moved, Li Bowen gathered all his colleagues together and began to arrange the work, mainly dividing them into groups first and then assigning where each person would go. Of course, this work was mainly done by the people in their purchasing department, and the others just cooperated.

The next day, they were divided into groups and rode in their respective directions.

……

In the blink of an eye, a month had passed. Li Bowen and his team had traveled across an area of ​​hundreds of miles. Basically, they could be found wherever there were herdsmen gathered. Naturally, the leader had to take the lead, so under the leadership of Qiqige, Li Bowen went deep into even more remote places.

The relationship between the two people continued to heat up during this intense work. Sometimes the herders even treated them as a young couple and arranged for them to stay in the same tent at night.

It took a lot of explanation to make people believe that they were not a couple, but the herdsmen said that they looked very well matched.

After this period of hard work, basically all the communes and herdsmen are willing to cooperate with Li Bowen and his team, mainly because the things they provide are cheaper and more convenient than those sold in city stores.

It was time to go back, and after visiting the last commune, Li Bowen and Qi Qige started their journey back.

They were originally talking and laughing, but suddenly thinking that Li Bowen was about to leave, Qi Qige's mood suddenly became depressed, and he rode his horse listlessly.

"Qiqige, what's wrong with you?"

"Are you going to leave when you go back this time?" Qi Qige asked.

Li Bowen nodded: "I have been here for more than a month, and my work is almost done. It's time to go back and report."

"Oh!" Qi Qige responded without saying anything else, just hit the horse hard.

Seeing Qiqige trotting past him, Li Bowen felt uncomfortable and quickly squeezed the horse's belly to let it catch up.

"Qiqige, don't be sad, I will be back in a few months! Then we can meet again!"

Qiqige pulled the reins of the horse fiercely and looked at Li Bowen: "Do you know my heart?"

"I..." Li Bowen really wanted to say I know, but he already has a wife, and the most important thing is that the distance between them is too far. If they are together, he won't be able to take care of them at all, so he has been suppressing his feelings.

Seeing Li Bowen hesitated, Qi Qige whispered, "Don't say anything, I know what you are going to say. This is fate, it always makes people unhappy. Get off the horse and walk with me for a while!" As she said that, she jumped off the horse.

After loosening the reins to let the horse graze freely, the two of them strolled side by side on the grassland.

When they reached a gentle slope, Qiqige stopped, sat on the grass and looked at the winding river in the distance: "It's so beautiful!"

"Yes, you will never see such beautiful scenery in the city!" Li Bowen also sat next to Qi Qige.

Neither of them spoke any more and just sat there quietly.

Suddenly, Qiqige turned over and pounced on Li Bowen, tearing his clothes and his own clothes like crazy: "I don't want to have any regrets, take me, I want you to be my man."

The sudden change made Li Bowen a little dazed, but the kisses had already fallen on his face like raindrops, and the desire in his heart was also ignited.

After that, the guest becomes the host.

……

The sky was their quilt and the ground was their bed; the two souls completely merged together.

After a long time, Li Bowen lay on the soft grass and looked at the blue sky above his head: "Qi Qi Ge, come back to the capital with me!"

Who knew Qiqige shook his head and said, "No, I can't go with you. I want to stay here with my mother!"

"Then can't we take your mother with us?" Li Bowen suggested.

"Eji won't leave. She will wait here for my Abu to come back!" Qi Qige still shook his head.

"You Abu? I've never heard you say that!"

Qiqige's eyes became deep: "My Abu is a hero on the grassland. When he went to participate in the battle, he told my mother that he would definitely come back. My mother has been waiting for him for more than ten years! So she will not leave, and I will not leave the grassland either!"

Then she stood up and looked at Li Bowen: "I will wait for you to come back on the grassland like my mother, no matter when it is!"

Li Bowen couldn't help but be moved, and didn't know what to say for a moment.

He could only gently hold Qi Qi Ge in his arms: "Don't worry, I will come back. I promise you that I will come to spend some time with you every year!"

"Yeah!" Qi Qige gently leaned his head on Li Bowen's chest.

By the time they returned to the commune, it was already dark. When they got home, they walked into the room hand in hand.

Aunt Dolan looked at the two and sighed, "Oh, I knew you two would end up like this!"

Li Bowen was a little embarrassed, but Qiqige smiled and came forward to hug Aunt Duolan's arm: "Eji, Bowen and I have already discussed it. He will come back to see us every year in the future. I don't have to get married and I will always stay by your side. Isn't this great!"

"Don't you know how hard life would be without a man on the grassland?" Aunt Dolan said to her daughter with heartache.

At this time, Li Bowen sat opposite Aunt Duolan and said seriously, "Eji, don't worry. I'm not an irresponsible person. I will mail money and food coupons back every month. I have already made up my mind. When I return, I will find someone to invest in a milk powder factory. Then I will let Qiqige work in the milk powder factory. This way, I will get a salary and it won't be so hard."
