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

Li Bowen put down the book in his hand, slowly moved to Chen Qiao's side, and took the small clothes that Chen Qiao handed over. He looked through the pile next to him and found that these small clothes were all styles for boys, and the colors were relatively plain.

He frowned and said to Chen Qiao, "Well, it does look pretty! But why are they all so plain? We need to make some floral ones. What if the first baby is a girl? You can let our girl wear this dress!"

"I have a feeling that this baby in my belly must be a boy." Chen Qiao stroked her belly gently. Although neither of them had the idea of ​​favoring boys over girls, she sincerely hoped that the first child would be a boy in her heart. After all, it involved the expectations of the elderly.

"We have to make some. If we can't use it this time, we can use it next time! I still like girls. They will definitely be very beautiful when they grow up!"

"Okay, then I'll make a few for girls after I finish what I have now!"

After putting their things away and making the bed, they lay down to rest.

The next morning, not long after Li Bowen got up, his third uncle and aunt came over. As expected, they came to talk about finding him a wife.

"Xiao Wen'er, when do you plan to go and meet him so I can talk to them," Li Dahe asked.

Seeing the expectant eyes of his uncle and aunt, Li Bowen thought for a while: "It's definitely not possible in the next two days. The factory has assigned a lot of tasks that need to be completed first. Today is Tuesday, so let's go on Saturday. What do you think, uncle and aunt?"

"Okay, let's go there on Saturday!"

"By the way, Uncle San, do you know the village chief of Shenjia Village?" Li Bowen suddenly thought of this.

Li Dahe shook his head: "I don't know them. Why do you want to purchase supplies from their village, Xiao Wen'er?"

"I have this idea. I am the deputy section chief now. I have been assigned a few team members to be responsible for the Changping area. We will start to build relationships in the next few days. If you know the village chief of Shenjia Village, it will save you some trouble." Li Bowen explained.

"Hey, that's easy. When I go to Shenjia Village later, I'll tell them first and ask Shen Laonian to find their village chief when he's available. When you go there on Saturday, you can meet him together. I think it should be no problem."

That's true. With the introduction of someone from the village, the village chief will have to give him face and sit down with them. As long as he can sit down, it's basically a done deal. Even if they have been cooperating with other units before, they will have to give him some money, otherwise he will offend others.

"Okay, Uncle San, you go explore the way first. You have to run around with Fox in the surrounding communes in the next two days!"

After the discussion, Li Dahe went back and prepared to go to Shenjia Village.

Not long after, the fox also came to Li Bowen's house: "Mosquito, where are we going today?"

Li Bowen had already thought about it: "Let's go to Changling Commune first. Director Wang is an acquaintance. Let him gather the village heads of each village in their commune to talk. I think this is easier to do."

"Okay, let's go to Changling Commune!" The fox nodded in agreement.

Grabbing some gifts, the two men rode a tricycle straight to Changling Commune, and directly pushed open the door of the office of Wang Heyi, the director of the commune.

Seeing the two people coming in, Wang Heyi stood up with a smile: "Oh, what a rare guest, Chief Li, why are you here? Please take a seat!"

Asking them to sit down and pouring water, Wang Heyi moved a chair and sat opposite them: "What do you need to buy this time? Just tell me, I will definitely get it done for you!"

"Can't we just come to see you? We have to have something else to do!"

"Hahaha, why not? I'll treat you to a drink when you come. It's really okay. If it's okay, then come home with me. My old man has already said that he would treat you!" Wang Heyi said with a smile.

"Hey, it's just a small matter, I need your help, brother!"

"Look at me, just tell me what's going on." Wang Heyi had an expression that said, "I know it."

Li Bowen took a sip of water and cleared his throat before speaking: "This is the factory's procurement task for this year. I was thinking of asking you to help contact the village heads below so that our people can go to the village to collect some things."

"It's nothing to me. It's easy. I'll call them and ask them to come to the commune. We'll sit together in the evening!" After saying that, Wang Heyi stood up, picked up the phone on the table and started dialing.

The village heads of more than a dozen villages under the jurisdiction of Changling Commune all rushed over soon. In the commune’s cafeteria, Wang Heyi treated these people to a meal while Li Bowen paid for it.

Li Bowen's alcohol tolerance was not very good, so this was a test for Fox. In the name of Director Wang and Fox's toasts, the village heads absolutely gave him face and agreed to provide supplies to the steel mill.

However, it is still unclear how much it will be. Every village used to have a cooperative unit. Although it is a bit unethical to snatch food from others, there is no other way. The tasks assigned by the factory must be completed.

Not only must it be completed but it must be completed beautifully and in excess. Before, Li Bowen had the idea of ​​just getting by, but now it is different. Lou Xiaoe's incident reminded him that if he does not climb up, you will not be able to protect the people you want to protect at all.

When the dinner was over and they came out of the cafeteria, Fox was obviously drunk. Although he could still stand, he could no longer open his eyes.

"Brother Wang, please find us a place to stay for one night. He definitely can't go back in this condition!" Li Bowen said to Wang Heyi. After a drinking party, the two of them had already started to treat each other like brothers.

Wang Heyi's drunken eyes flashed with a hint of vulgarity: "Brother, do you want to stay here for just one night, or?"

Li Bowen's eyes were filled with disbelief: "There is still this now?"

"Hahaha, you don't know this. There are a few young widows in every village. They have to support the elderly and children, and their life is not easy! Help if you can!" These words were said with such righteousness.

Now that the conversation has come to this, it is obvious that Wang Heyi has this in mind, and Li Bowen cannot directly refuse: "No problem, right?"

"Don't worry, nothing's wrong. We don't have a guesthouse here. Usually, if people who come here to do business need accommodation, they stay at the homes of villagers in each village. The commune provides food subsidies, and any arrangement is normal procedure."

"Then you decide on the arrangements. I'm fine with whatever you do."

"Okay, then come with me. I'll find a place for your brother to stay first, and then I'll arrange your own accommodation."

Wang Heyi was riding a bicycle, Li Bowen was riding a tricycle, and a fox was lying in the bed.

Not far away, about ten minutes' walk, Wang Heyi stopped in a small courtyard and knocked on the door. Soon the door opened from the inside and a woman about 30 years old walked out.

"Old Zhang's family, someone from the community came today and will stay at your house."

"Thank you, Director Wang! Come in quickly!" The woman glanced at the fox in the truck bed and a hint of surprise appeared in her eyes, but she quickly recovered and opened the door.

Li Bowen and Wang Heyi helped the fox into the yard and sent him to the east wing to lie down.

After they came out, Wang Heyi said to the woman, "She drank a little too much. Please take care of her. Give her breakfast tomorrow and come back to the community to get her accommodation fee and food coupons!"

The woman nodded: "Don't worry!"
