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

After settling the fox, before leaving, Li Bowen said to the woman, "When he wakes up tomorrow morning, just tell him to wait for me at the commune."

The woman agreed and walked the two of them to the door before closing it.

After the two walked a short distance away, Wang Heyi whispered to Li Bowen: "How about it, that young widow is pretty good, isn't she?"

Li Bowen couldn't comment on this. This woman looked pretty good, the kind that was pleasing to the eye, and had a nice figure. Anyone who could find a wife like her would be very happy. But he had seen too many of them. The various young ladies in those live broadcasts were dazzling, so he thought she was just average.

"It's okay!" Li Bowen just replied indifferently.

Wang Heyi misunderstood Li Bowen's meaning, thinking that he looked down on a woman of such beauty. But when he thought about it, considering her looks, it was hard to tell who was taking advantage of whom.

Suddenly his eyes lit up: "Then come with me!"

Li Bowen, who didn't understand what was going on, followed Wang Heyi on his bike to the other end of the town, and after a few turns, they stopped at the gate of a small courtyard.

Wang Heyi stopped his bicycle and said, "This is it. Wait here and I'll go knock on the door!" After that, he parked his bicycle, strode over, and gently knocked on the door.

Not long after, the door opened from the inside, and a woman in her 25s or 6s appeared from the inside. Seeing that it was Wang Heyi who knocked on the door, she was stunned for a moment, and then she said, "Director Wang, what are you doing here so late?"

"Sister-in-law, I have a friend who is here to do some business. He can't go back home because it's too late. Can he stay at your house tonight?"

The woman looked a little embarrassed: "Director Wang, my family is still able to make ends meet, so there is no need to send anyone to my house, so as to avoid gossip!"

"What are you talking about? Who dares to gossip? Qiangzi is my brother. Even though he is gone, I can't just ignore him. Besides, how can I harm you? Brother Qiangzi has been gone for two years, you can't stay single forever, right?" Wang Heyi advised.

"I really have no intention of remarrying now. I just want to raise the child. You have done justice to Qiangzi!" The woman shook her head.

"How can a woman like you raise a child in this era? Relying on those ten or eight yuan a month? The child is getting older, so what does he need money for? Besides, I didn't ask you to remarry. It would be easier for you to live with someone to help you. My friend is the section chief in charge of purchasing in a large factory in Beijing, and he is also good-looking. Why don't you take a look at him first? If you like him, I will match you up. If not, forget it!"

The woman obviously hesitated, leaned out slightly to take a look, and quickly withdrew, biting her lip tightly: "Then let him in!"

"Oh, that's right!" Wang Heyi sighed, then turned around and waved to Li Bowen who was a few meters away: "Brother, come in!"

Li Bowen was also watching the woman not far away, but because it was dark, he couldn't see what she looked like clearly. However, she was not short, about 165cm tall, and a little thin.

The two people spoke in low voices, and Li Bowen did not hear clearly what they were saying. Then he heard Wang Heyi calling him.

After entering the yard and parking the car out of the way, the three of them went into the house. The layout of the main room was very simple, with only an octagonal table and two chairs. On both sides near the door were a stove, a water tank and a washbasin rack.

With the help of the flickering lights, Li Bowen was able to see the woman's appearance clearly, which really amazed Li Bowen. This woman was really beautiful, and completely met the conditions of imaginary beauty. She was completely in line with Li Bowen's aesthetic taste. He couldn't help but be a little dazed by the sight of her.

Wang Heyi quickly introduced the two to each other: "Brother, this is Chen Xiaoyun. Her parents-in-law and husband are all gone, leaving behind a 5-year-old child. Life is very difficult. Sister-in-law, this is Section Chief Li Bowen I told you about. He will be at your house tonight!"

The woman also stole a few glances at Li Bowen, then blushed and said in a low voice: "Well, then let's stay in the west room tonight. The west room is empty!"

"Okay, I'll bring you the accommodation money and food coupons tomorrow. It's getting late, so I'll go home first. Come out with me, brother!" Wang Heyi said as he pulled Li Bowen into the yard.

When they reached the middle of the yard, he whispered to Li Bowen, "Brother, Chen Xiaoyun's husband Yang Zhiqiang used to be the warehouse manager of our commune. He was injured while trying to save grain when the warehouse caught fire. Although there is a subsidy every month, it is not enough for the mother and daughter to live on. I can't bear to see her like that. She is not like those women. I want to make this clear to you first. If you think she can do it, then help her more in the future. If not, forget it!"

Li Bowen was indeed somewhat tempted, but he still said awkwardly: "Brother, I'm already married, how can I help?"

"There's nothing to be afraid of. Chen Xiaoyun doesn't plan to remarry, so we can just live together. Can't you afford to support two people? I'm only saying this to you because I really treat you as a brother!" Wang Heyi showed a serious expression.

After thinking for a moment, Li Bowen nodded and said, "Okay, I understand, don't worry, brother!"

"Okay, that's it. I think she is quite satisfied with you. You two can chat slowly. I'll be leaving first!" After saying that, Wang Heyi pushed the car and went out.

Li Bowen returned to the house reluctantly and found that no one was in the main room. He heard rustling sounds coming from the west room. He walked over and lifted the door curtain, and saw Chen Xiaoyun half-kneeling on the bed, making the bed.

"Thank you!"

The sudden sound startled Chen Xiaoyun, and then she turned around and said, "You're welcome. I'll thank you if you want to thank me. It gives our family an extra income."

"As I should. Brother Wang also told me to help out more. From now on, I will stay at your house every time I come to the countryside. I hope you don't think it's a bother!"

Chen Xiaoyun blushed and replied, "Okay, it's no trouble!"

"You~!"

"You~!"

After a pause, the two spoke at the same time. Li Bowen smiled and said, "You speak first!"

"How old are you?"

"22, what about you?"

"You are 26 years old, and you are already a section chief at such a young age."

"I was promoted to deputy section chief because I contributed a little to the factory!"

……

The two chatted back and forth, and the scene was very awkward. After all, they were two people who had just met and didn't know what to say. The voice of the child next door broke the awkwardness: "Mom! I want to pee!"

"Coming!" Chen Xiaoyun quickly responded, and then said to Li Bowen: "I'll go take care of the kids first, you clean up!"

"it is good!"

After Chen Xiaoyun left, Li Bowen also breathed a sigh of relief. It was too tiring and embarrassing to talk like this.

After a while, Li Bowen began to feel sleepy. Although he did not drink much at dinner, he drank quite a bit. When he was drunk, he kept thinking about sleeping. He simply took off his shoes and coat and went straight to bed on the kang.

I don’t know how long it took, but I felt someone walked into the room and sat down at the head of the kang.
