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

Two rough men with untidy beards were hugging each other and spinning around in public, oblivious to the sight of everyone around them. It was such an eye-catching scene that people around them couldn't bear to watch it.

But these two people didn't care about other people's feelings at all. They just laughed and slapped each other.

It took them a long time to separate, then they held each other's arms. Mu Ren smiled and said, "Finally I see you again. It looks like you're living a good life!"

Wang Heyi responded: "It's okay. I rushed here immediately after receiving your letter. The bumpy road was really unbearable!"

"The current road conditions are indeed not very good, but it will be much more convenient when the road is repaired in the future!"

The two of them exchanged pleasantries for a long time before Wang Heyi remembered that there were a group of people standing behind him.

He quickly pulled Muren over and said, "Muren, let me introduce you. This is Director Li Huaide of the Beijing Red Star Steel Rolling Mill, and this is Chief Li Bowen of the Purchasing Department. They have come from afar to provide you with their full support!"

Muren stepped forward, shook Li Huaide's hand tightly, and said excitedly: "Welcome the distinguished guests from the capital to the grassland."

Li Huaide also enthusiastically grasped Muren's hand and said, "Secretary Muren, this time I was entrusted by our factory leaders to bring you steel, cement and 5 tons of food. I hope to help you build the settlement as soon as possible!"

Muren was filled with gratitude and quickly thanked Li Huaide: "Thank you so much! These supplies are really a timely help for us!"

He turned to Li Bowen and shook his hand warmly to express his gratitude.

Li Huaide first explained the situation to Muren, and then completed the handover of materials with the commune staff.

Then, they walked to the door of a large tent in the construction site. At this time, someone had quickly spread a felt mat on the ground at the entrance of the tent, and small tables were placed on the felt mat.

Muren asked everyone to take a seat, and they all sat on the ground, feeling that the scene was different, very novel and special.

After everyone sat down, some women dressed in traditional Mongolian costumes immediately came forward, holding kumis, cheese, dried fruits, milk tofu, buns, pies and other foods in their hands. They placed these delicacies on the table with a smile.

"Dear guests from afar, welcome to our grassland! Thank you for your assistance. Please raise the kumis in your hands! Cheers!" Muren said enthusiastically. He and the cadres of the commune raised their glasses to toast Li Bowen and others.

They started drinking as soon as they arrived, which made Li Bowen, who had an empty stomach, very uncomfortable. However, considering that this might be the etiquette of entertaining guests here, he could only pick up the wine bowl. The taste of the kumis was unexpectedly good, with a sweet taste and a strong milky aroma.

Yu Haitang sat next to Li Bowen with an excited look on her face, then came over and whispered, "Brother-in-law, this wine tastes quite good!"

Hearing this, Li Bowen frowned slightly and kindly reminded: "You'd better drink less. Although this kind of wine is not strong, it is definitely strong and can easily make people drunk. Don't drink too much and make a fool of yourself!"

Hearing this, Yu Haitang felt a little unconvinced. She took another sip of wine and then picked up the dried fruits on the table and started eating.

At this time, the banquet had already begun and would not stop for a while. As night fell, several bonfires were set up in the open space outside the tent. A large pot was placed on the small fire, and the fat sheep that had just been killed was boiling in the pot.

There was a largest bonfire in the middle, with flickering flames shining on everyone's face, making it look particularly warm.

There were some young men and women singing and dancing around the bonfire. Although I couldn't understand what they were singing, the rhythm was very cheerful. I guess they were songs to welcome friends or toasts.

"Brother-in-law, let's go dance too!" Yu Haitang was a lively and outgoing girl. Stimulated by the alcohol, she stood up excitedly and pulled Li Bowen to the center of the field.

Li Bowen looked embarrassed, he really didn't want to go.

Firstly, there were people from the commune and the factory present, and he felt a little embarrassed; secondly, he couldn't dance at all, what if he made a fool of himself?

However, the tug-of-war between him and Yu Haitang was seen clearly by Mu Ren who was standing nearby.

Muren laughed heartily and said loudly, "Hahaha, Chief Li, don't be shy. Our grassland is not like your Central Plains. We don't have so many rules. Let's play freely. Qiqige, Duolan, come and invite our distinguished guests to dance with you."

Before he finished speaking, two Mongolian girls in gorgeous costumes came running towards Li Bowen and his companions. They first gave a Mongolian salute to the two, then stepped forward, held their hands, and said enthusiastically, "Dear guests, please follow us!"

Yu Haitang also got interested at this time and pulled Li Bowen up from his seat. Li Bowen had no choice but to join the dancing crowd.

Soon after, other colleagues were invited to join in, and everyone held hands, formed a circle and started dancing.

Li Bowen took clumsy steps and danced cautiously like others.

"Giggle!"

Suddenly, a clear and pleasant laughter came from the side. It turned out to be the girl named Qiqige. She smiled and said to Li Bowen: "I didn't expect that you Beijing men are so shy. Come, dance with me, I will teach you!"

The dance moves are relatively simple, and Li Bowen mastered the tricks after a little study. The main thing is to let go of the psychological burden and stop worrying about whether it is embarrassing or not, and just enjoy the fun of dancing.

"You're a quick learner. What's your name?"

"My name is Li Bowen! Your name is Qiqige, right?"

"Well, yes, this name means flower in Mongolian!" Qi Qige replied with a smile.

"You are indeed as beautiful as your name, you are indeed as beautiful as a flower!" Li Bowen praised. Although this girl is not particularly good-looking, she is very attractive, especially her big, twinkling eyes, which are impressive. She also has a unique temperament, free and unrestrained. She dances unrestrainedly and vigorously. How should I put it? She gives people the feeling of being healthy, as if she doesn't even feel pain when her period comes.

"Thank you for the compliment. You are very beautiful, prettier than many of us girls. Are there many Han men like you?" Qi Qige asked curiously. She had noticed Li Bowen a long time ago and discovered him the moment she got off the bus. She and a few sisters were sighing together.

Being praised for being more beautiful than a woman, Li Bowen felt awkward, but he still replied: "Probably not much, but it's not nothing!"

"How old are you and what do you like to do?" Qi Qige continued to ask.

Li Bowen scratched his head and said a little embarrassedly: "I am 22 years old this year. I don't have any special hobbies. I just like to travel around and have fun. This time I came to the grassland, I really want to learn how to ride a horse!"

After thinking about it carefully, Li Bowen really hasn't found any hobbies of his.

"Okay then, I'll teach you how to ride a horse tomorrow, okay?" Qi Qige said excitedly.
