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

Li Bowen grinned at the young couple and gestured to the boy: "Come on!"

The boy proudly raised the hand he and his girlfriend were holding, meaning, "Do you still need to work harder?"

Ignoring the two, Li Bowen followed the crowd out of the cinema and found Yu Li standing at the door.

"Why are you running so fast? I can hardly catch up with you!"

"It's too stuffy inside, let's come out and get some fresh air!" Yu Li said with some stammering. She couldn't say that she ran away because she was shy.

I looked at the wonton stand at a night market not far from the cinema, and turned to Yu Li and said, "I'm hungry. Let's go have a bowl of wontons before going back."

At this time, Yu Li was like a well-behaved young wife. She followed whatever Li Bowen said, nodded, and followed him to the wonton stall.

The wontons nowadays are not like the ones in the future which are just skin but no filling. The skin is thin and the filling is large. They are added with broth and sprinkled with chopped green onion, coriander and dried shrimps. They are extremely delicious when you take a sip. The only drawback is that there is very little meat.

The boss had no choice but to explain when he served the food: "I'm sorry, there's not much meat. They only sent a little bit over, so it just tastes like meat. Just give me two cents less."

"Okay, thank you!" Li Bowen didn't say anything. The price was actually reasonable, 1.2 cents for a bowl of big meat wontons, but yours was only a little meaty and only cost two cents less, which was a bit of a rip-off. However, most of the people who came to watch the movie were young people who were dating, and no one would earn a few cents from the boss in front of their girlfriend.

Besides, since it is a public-private joint venture stall, there is no way to argue with them. They will just say that this is the government’s decision and dismiss you directly.

After eating the wontons, the two of them strolled back along the road. When they arrived at Yu Li's alley, in the dark alley, Yu Li unconsciously moved closer to Li Bowen, and Li Bowen took the opportunity to hold her little hand again.

Then Yu Li asked a question that almost all girls would ask: "Have you dated many people before?"

"Why do you say that?"

"Look at how skilled you are. You must have done this a lot!" There was obvious jealousy in Yu Li's words.

There was no need to explain at this time. All explanations were useless. Li Bowen directly used his arms to pull Yu Li into his arms. He put his other hand around her waist and stared into her eyes: "I can't help myself. You are so charming!"

Yu Li avoided looking at Li Bowen, not daring to meet his gaze. She put one hand on Li Bowen's chest and said in a low voice, "You are a bad guy!"

Seeing that shy little expression, how could he hold back? Li Bowen simply lowered his head and kissed her, accurately finding that cherry mouth, and the French kiss made Yu Li fall in love with him.

After she came to her senses, Yu Li pushed Li Bowen away and ran quickly towards the gate of her compound. But when she reached the gate, she suddenly stopped and stood there looking.

It seemed like he had something to say, so Li Bowen hurriedly followed.

Yu Li looked at Li Bowen expectantly: "Will you come to see me tomorrow?"

Feelings are disguised. When asked if their relationship was confirmed, Li Bowen smiled and said, "I'm going to the countryside to do some shopping tomorrow. I'll be gone for a week!"

"Oh!" Yu Li's expression became dejected.

"However, when we leave tomorrow morning, I will go to your factory gate to find you!" Pulling, pulling again and again.

Sure enough, the cloudy sky turned clear again: "Okay, then I'll wait for you in the morning!" After saying that, he turned around and ran into the yard.

Seeing her figure disappear, Li Bowen took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it, touched his still moist lips, hummed a little tune and disappeared into the alley.

When Yu Li returned home, her heart was still pounding.

This is too fast. It was just our first official date and they were already holding hands and kissing. Yu Li, Yu Li, what did you do?

But the kiss was really wonderful, it felt exactly like what was written in the book.

Oh, will he think I am a very casual woman? No, no, I have to explain it to him clearly tomorrow.

No, no, no, he was the one who kissed me first. He probably wouldn’t miss me that much.

He is so handsome, there must be a lot of girls who like him. Will he fall in love with other girls in the future? What should I do?

This woman, when she is alone, tends to have wild thoughts, especially when it comes to the relationship between men and women. Even though the man is talking about the icebergs on the sea, she can imagine that there is a Himalaya under the water.

Li Bowen returned home happily and told his uncle and aunt that the date went smoothly. Then he went back to his room to sleep.

The next day, after packing up in the morning, Li Bowen rode his tricycle to the textile factory to find Yu Li. The two stood at the door and looked at each other. It was Li Bowen who spoke first: "I'll only be gone for a week. I'll come to see you when I come back!"

"I see!"

When Li Bowen was getting in the car to leave, Yu Li asked, "Wait a minute, after what happened last night, do you think I'm a very casual girl? I'm really not like that. I've never been like that before!"

Seeing her nervous look, Li Bowen smiled knowingly, got out of the car, and walked up to Yu Li: "I know, I couldn't help myself yesterday, I like you!"

"Then we...?"

"Well, haven't you been my partner since yesterday?"

Hearing this, Yu Li finally let go of her worries, and the nervous look on her face turned into a bright smile: "Okay, then go quickly, I'll wait for you to come back!"

"As a partner, don't you want to show some appreciation before we part?" Li Bowen came closer with a smile.

"Oh, that's annoying. We're right in front of our factory gate. Go away, we'll talk to you when you come back!" There were so many people coming and going on the road watching, how could Yu Li dare to do that? She quickly urged Li Bowen to leave.

Li Bowen jumped onto the tricycle and said, "Haha, you said it. I'm leaving!" He pushed hard and the tricycle whooshed out.

After Li Bowen walked away, Yu Li secretly cursed herself, "Yu Li, you are a fool. You will sell yourself out sooner or later!"

After meeting Yu Li, Li Bowen went to the steel rolling mill again. He also had to take out the food that he had exchanged for Fox and the others from the warehouse.

With the approval slip, it is much easier to get food.

After having lunch at the factory and loading the car, I rode my bike straight north out of the city. The steel rolling mill was outside the Dongzhimen Gate of Sijiu City. Going northwest out of the city, I reached Changping. When I arrived at a deserted place, I stored all the food into the space and could finally walk back with a light heart.

……

It was almost dark when I got home. I got off the bike and jumped a few times out of habit to relieve the pressure from riding for a long time. Then I shouted to the yard: "Grandpa, grandma, wife, I'm back."

Hearing the sound, Chen Qiao flew out of the house like a little butterfly, ran over happily and hugged Li Bowen's arm. The old couple stood at the door of the room, looking at the two of them with a kind smile.
