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

Uncle San took the sleeping Fourth Sister from Li Bowen's arms, and Aunt San took the other two children back to their home next door.

Back in the east room, Chen Qiao obviously hadn't recovered from the shock just now. "I never thought that our family had such a big secret. It seems that I got a great bargain. If it were before liberation, I wouldn't even be worthy of being a foot-warming maid for you!"

Li Bowen pulled her to his side, pointed at his face and said with a smile: "Take a good look at this face. If you think you don't have that secret, then you are not taking advantage!"

"Yes, yes, I am lucky to have such a fresh and tender grass like you!" Chen Qiao also replied with a smile.

That's true. Although she looks good, Chen Qiao often feels that if Li Bowen dresses up, he will be much better than her. Men all hope to marry a beautiful wife, and the same goes for women!

In later generations, there are many women who do all kinds of weird things for the young handsome guys they like. The same is true for women of this era. People who love appearance will always be people who love appearance, regardless of the era.

"In fact, each of our ancestors has been glorious, but we just don't know it!" Li Bowen said while hugging the slender waist.

"What do you mean, there were some great figures among my ancestors?" Chen Qiao was a little puzzled.

"Do you know why they say poverty cannot last for more than three generations? Does it mean that poverty will not last for the fourth generation?"

"Isn't it? Everyone says that poverty and wealth cannot last for more than three generations!"

Li Bowen shook his head: "Actually, the correct answer should be that wealth cannot last for more than three generations. After three generations, you will either fall into poverty or become noble. To become noble means you are still rich but your family will have officials or titles, and become aristocrats.

As for the saying that poverty cannot last for more than three generations, it is a bit tragic. Few people can become rich by the fourth generation. Most of them become childless after the third generation. There is no fourth generation at all!"

Chen Qiao was a little surprised: "You can explain it this way."

"Yes, in fact, if you think about it carefully, this is the right thing to do. If a person's family is extremely poor, and it has been like this for three generations, how can they find a wife for their son? Which girl would be willing to marry him?"

"That's true!" Chen Qiao nodded in agreement.

"So, there is no such thing as rich or poor. Every family has its own ancestors. Okay, my lady, come and wait on your man until he goes to sleep!" Li Bowen scratched the slender waist.

"Yes, my eldest master, I'll be there right away!" Chen Qiao bowed.

A few days passed in a flash. After bidding farewell to Grandpa and Grandma and Chen Qiao, Li Bowen went to Hu Li's place to load up all the collected supplies, and most importantly, to bring back the meat.

After entering the city and almost reaching Liu Lan's house, I found a place to take all the things out of the space and put them in the car.

Liu Lan now knew the time and was waiting at her front door early. When she saw Li Bowen riding his bike into the alley, she quickly opened the gate and helped push the bike into the yard.

"Has He Yuzhu gone to the black market again these two days?" Li Bowen asked, looking at the empty baskets in the warehouse.

"Probably not. When he came to pick up the things a few days ago, he said that someone wanted them all at once!" Liu Lan replied.

Then Li Bowen knew that it must be Hongbinlou that took all the remaining things.

As usual, half of the goods were unloaded into the warehouse, leaving some pork and roe deer, and the rest were handed over to the factory.

Li Bowen had no plan to sell the badger skin, as winter was coming soon and it was terribly cold now. He planned to make a set of knee pads for each of his grandparents. If there were any left, he would make a few pairs of gloves, which were much warmer than cotton gloves.

After staying in the warehouse for more than half an hour, Li Bowen pushed the cart out of Liu Lan's house and went home.

Liu Lan carried a long piece of pork belly into the main room, put the meat in a basin, picked up the toothbrush and toothbrush cup, and went to the sink outside to brush her teeth and wash her face.

When they returned to the house and lay down to sleep, Liu Lan's husband said softly, "You don't have to work so hard to stay with me. If you meet a good person, just go with him."

"What nonsense are you talking about? I'm almost 30 and she's only in her early 20s. How could she be interested in me? Besides, we have a child. I just want to raise her well. I don't want to think about anything else, and you don't have to think too much about it either!"

"Oh!" Her man sighed and said nothing more.

Liu Lan also knew what her husband meant, and he could probably guess what was going on in the east room, but what could she do? She couldn't always let others give money to her family for free. Although this amount of money was nothing to Li Bowen, Liu Lan couldn't get over it.

Forget it, let’s just leave it at that and take it one step at a time.

Li Bowen, humming a little tune, did not go back to the courtyard directly, but went directly to the steel rolling mill. It would be too easy for something to go wrong in the courtyard. First, Jia Zhang stole the eggs, and then Yi Zhonghai plotted.

I think it's better to just leave it in the factory. There are people from the security department watching it, so it's not my responsibility if it gets lost.

I rode the bike to the steel rolling mill and talked to the people in the security department, asking them to open the door of the warehouse, move all the things in and put them away separately, waiting to be handed over to the warehouse staff tomorrow.

After confirming everything, Li Bowen rode his empty tricycle back home.

When I got home, it was already around ten o'clock in the evening. There were also people sitting and waiting at the door. When I got closer, I saw that it was my uncle and He Yuzhu, who were sitting at the door smoking and chatting.

After entering the yard and parking the car, knowing that Li Bowen had returned safely, uncle and aunt went back to the house to sleep with peace of mind. Li Bowen and He Yuzhu returned to the backyard.

Since he couldn't sleep after coming back, he just sat on a small stool. Li Bowen took out his notebook and began to explain to He Yuzhu what he had brought back so that he would have an idea.

He Yuzhu also had to give an account to Li Bowen, as the money from his previous sales was still in his pocket.

The two were facing each other when the main door was pushed open and a beautiful figure appeared in the room: "Brother, do you still have hot water in this room? Oh, Brother Bowen is here too!"

"It's the rain! When did you come back?"

"I came back two days ago. I'm graduating soon, and the school arranged an internship for me. I will report for it soon, so I came back early!" He Yushui answered while staring at Li Bowen.

"What are you two doing? It's so late! Do you need my help?"

He Yuzhu picked up the thermos on the table and stuffed it into He Yushui's hand: "No, no, here's the thermos for you, go back to sleep!"

"What are you doing? You're trying to chase me away as soon as I get here. I want to see what you two are doing!" As He Yushui said this, he sat down next to Li Bowen and leaned over to look at the table.

The people came so suddenly that they didn't have time to put their things away. Li Bowen could only make up a story: "Yushui, you're graduating now. Which unit did the school assign you to?"
