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

With this relationship that is not really a relative.

The purchasing plan proposed by Li Bowen was immediately agreed by the village chief and several production team leaders. Not only did they allow him to purchase anything in the village, they also promised to help Li Bowen contact several surrounding villages, saving him a lot of trouble.

This meal was a feast for both the guest and the host.

After the banquet was over and tea was poured again, several people sat in the main room and chatted.

Shen Laonian led Li Bowen to the kitchen and said to him, "Bowen, you don't have to stay here and chat with us all the time. Go inside and chat with Zhaodi. What's the point of always talking to a bunch of old guys like us?"

"Okay uncle, I'll go over there then!" Li Bowen scratched his head and smiled.

Although Li Bowen was a veteran, he was still a little nervous when faced with this situation. Lao Nian smiled and waved his hand: "Okay, go ahead!" After watching Li Bowen enter the kitchen, he returned to the main room.

Li Bowen walked into the kitchen and saw three girls sitting on benches, surrounding a large basin, washing dishes. There was also a little boy playing with them.

Seeing someone coming in, the four of them stopped at the same time and looked towards the door. The oldest one took a quick look and quickly lowered his head. He slowly picked up a bowl and started washing it.

"Uncle asked me to come over for a while!" Li Bowen said a little awkwardly.

"Oh! That saves us some energy. Come and sit down and help my sister wash the dishes! Third brother, Xiaobao, let's go. Second sister will take you out to play!" Shen Ladi shook the water off her hands and stood up.

Then she pulled the youngest boy out, and when she passed by Li Bowen, she paused and said, "Don't make my sister angry! Otherwise..." As she said that, she clenched her fist at Li Bowen.

"I know, don't worry!"

After everyone left, only Li Bowen and Shen Zhaodi were left in the room. He walked over silently, sat down on the bench, and reached out to help with the work in the large basin in front of him. Shen Zhaodi quickly reached out to stop him. The moment their hands touched, she immediately retracted her hand: "No, no, this is not a man's job, I can wash it myself."

Li Bowen still picked up a bowl and the loofah in the basin: "It's okay, the two of you can work faster. I often help wash dishes at home!"

So Shen Zhaodi stopped trying to stop him, and just worked silently with her head down, a slight blush on her face. From time to time, she would look up and steal a glance at Li Bowen, and then her heart would beat wildly, thinking in her mind: "This is my man. I will spend my whole life with him. He looks quite energetic, and I think he has a good personality. I hope he can always be like this in the future!"

In order to avoid a dull moment, Li Bowen could only quickly find a topic to talk about: "Are you tired from working?"

"It's okay, I'm used to it, I don't feel it anymore!"

……

The two chatted occasionally, with Li Bowen mainly asking questions and Shen Zhaodi answering. Through the chat, Li Bowen got to know Shen Zhaodi a little. She is 1 years younger than himself, and only went to school until she graduated from elementary school. She has been working at home since then.

Li Bowen also talked to Shen Zhaodi about his own situation, and finally said: "There are some things I still need to explain to you in advance. I am the only boy in my family, so..."

"Well, I know all this. Your Third Uncle told me everything clearly when he came here before!" Shen Zhaodi interrupted Li Bowen and continued, "With our family's situation, what else can I choose? I don't ask for anything, but I may take care of the family often until my brother grows up. Just don't mind it!"

Li Bowen shook his head and replied with a smile: "This is what I should do. Why should I mind? Don't worry, I can afford it. Besides, my uncle and aunt are both good-tempered people and won't say anything!"

"Well, then I have nothing to ask for. By the way, how are the two of you?"

"Don't worry, they are all very nice people. You will know when you meet them." Li Bowen briefly explained the situation of Chen Qiao and Yu Li again before comforting them.

However, it always feels weird to introduce two other women to your blind date, but this is the reality. It is better to say it sooner rather than later. If he can't accept it, just turn it down directly to avoid any awkwardness later.

Before they knew it, the sun had already set. After seeing off the village chief and the production team leader, Shen Laonian and Li Dahe called the two men aside.

Shen Laonian asked his daughter: "Boss, what do you think? If you are not satisfied, don't force yourself!"

"That's great! You decide. I have no objection!" Shen Zhaodi replied in a low voice.

"So it's settled then?"

"kindness!"

Shen Laonian heaved a sigh of relief when he got Zhaodi's nod of agreement. After all, this was related to his daughter's happiness in the second half of her life, and he couldn't force her if she was not satisfied.

In another room, Li Dahe patted Li Bowen on the back and said, "Xiao Wen, are you satisfied with this girl?"

Li Bowen smiled and turned back: "She's fine. I talked to her and she's an honest woman."

"Well, I also think this girl has a good personality. So I'll talk to Lao Nian right away. Let's settle this matter?"

"Okay!" Li Bowen nodded.

Li Dahe walked out of the inner room with a smile, sat down in the main room and chatted with Fifth Master, waiting for Laonian to come back.

A few minutes later, Shen Laonian came into the main hall. Wu Ye looked at him and asked, "Laonian, how about it? Did your eldest daughter agree?"

"Fifth Master, my Zhaodi is taking good care of Bowen!"

"Hahaha, that's good. This can be considered as a good thing. Let's finalize the marriage today. Dahe, when are you going to marry her?"

Li Dahe replied respectfully, "Fifth Master, my dear relatives, I've thought about it. We still need to clean up the house at home. We can't let the young couple live in the old house. We also need to prepare the banquet. It will take at least a month. So, let's set it for a month later. What do you think?"

"That's thoughtful. OK, then I'll agree to it on behalf of Lao Nian. I'll ask someone to set a date and come over to let them know. Then I'll have to go over to drink some wedding wine and meet Old Li!"

"No problem, I'll pick you up in advance so you two can have a good reunion!"

After the marriage was settled, the uncle and nephew returned in the afterglow of the setting sun. The Shen family saw them out the door and watched them go away before returning home.

When Li Bowen and his family returned home, it was already completely dark and the whole family was waiting in the house.

When he saw the two people enter the room, his first words were: "How was the viewing?"

Li Dahe smiled and replied, "Very good. It has been decided that the marriage will take place next month. I have asked someone to pick a date these two days and will go to exchange the letters."

"Yeah, that's good. Now each family in our Li family has a daughter-in-law who is in charge of the family, and the family line can be considered passed down!" Grandpa nodded with satisfaction, then looked at Li Bowen and said, "Xiao Wen, you will have a heavy burden on your shoulders in the future. You must work hard and don't listen to one side. If you treat any of them badly, I will not forgive you."

Then his gaze turned to Chen Qiao who was sitting next to her grandmother.
