splendid star

Chapter 99
"Hey! Isn't this Qiangzi? Why are you sitting here drinking alone?" In the evening, Zhang Chunxiang came home from work and passed by the old Zhang's food stall in the town. He happened to see Xiao Qiang sitting alone outside the food stall. Drinking wine was on the stool, and there were several skewers of already grilled lamb on the table in front.
"Why are you here?" Xiao Qiang glanced at Zhang Chunxiang casually, responded with a sigh, and continued to drink his wine.
"It's boring to drink alone, come! I'll drink with you." After Zhang Chunxiang finished speaking, she sat down opposite Xiao Qiang, "Boss! Bring another cup! By the way, two more bottles. beer."
After Zhang Chunxiang filled her glass with wine, she picked up the wine glass and touched it towards Xiao Qiang's glass. "Do it!" After Zhang Chunxiang said that, he picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.
Xiao Qiang held the wine glass in his hand, glanced sideways at Zhang Chunxiang, and then took a big sip.
Zhang Chunxiang turned around and looked around, and asked doubtfully, "Qiangzi, where is your car? How are you going to get back later?"
Xiao Qiang pointed angrily not far away: "Then it doesn't stop there anymore!"
"You've drunk so much, you can't drive back later, it's too dangerous! I'll find someone to take you off." Zhang Chunxiang replied with concern.
"Forget it if you get hit to death, there's no point in living anyway." After Xiao Qiang finished complaining, he simply picked up the bottle and drank.
"Qiangzi, you have to take care of your body, I will feel sorry for you." Zhang Chunxiang said as she took the bottle from Xiao Qiang's hand, "Let's change the cup, drink slowly, I will accompany you. Qiangzi, what are you doing? What's bothering you? Tell me. By the way, I heard from my classmate that the wife you married is not only beautiful, but she's also a college student. You said you're not at home with your wife, why are you drinking alone here? Huh?" Zhang Chunxiang teased Xiao Qiang with a smile.
After hearing this, Xiao Qiang snorted and replied angrily: "What's the use of being beautiful? Beauty is a disaster, and the family is miserable!"
"What's wrong? Is your tone not right?" Zhang Chunxiang stepped forward and asked curiously.
Xiao Qiang sighed heavily: "Oh... I'm too shameless to say that!" After saying that, he picked up the wine bottle and drank most of it in one go.
"Qiangzi, what happened? You'd better tell me. It's so uncomfortable to be alone in your heart!" Zhang Chunxiang continued to comfort him softly.
Xiao Qiang didn't say a word and sat in silence for a while. Suddenly he lay on the table and started crying. While crying, he said to Zhang Chunxiang: "Do you know? My best brother betrayed me. Now I have a headache." It’s all green!”
Zhang Chunxiang was shocked after hearing this, and asked hurriedly: "You mean your wife and your brother are getting together? Qiangzi, you can't, right? Is there any misunderstanding in this?"
"This matter has spread throughout the village, and my mother caught it some time ago, so what misunderstanding can there be?" Xiao Qiang cried with runny nose and tears.
"Did your mother get caught? Tell me quickly, what's going on?" Zhang Chunxiang quickly shook Xiao Qiang's arm and asked.
"Why are you so excited! Do you really want to see my jokes?" Xiao Qiang choked angrily.
"Oh, Xiao Qiang, look at what you said, how can I see your joke! I'm just curious, did your mother catch you in bed?" Zhang Chunxiang asked curiously, blinking his eyes.
"What about catching someone in bed?! It shouldn't have reached that point yet." Xiao Qiang took a big sip of wine and continued to choke while holding back his tears, "But it's almost over."
"Qiangzi, don't be too sad. There are so many good women in the world, why do you have to hang yourself from a tree!" Zhang Chunxiang comforted her while continuing to serve Xiao Qiangman wine.
"Chunxiang, you said you are over 30 years old, why haven't you found a partner yet?" Xiao Qiang tried to change the subject, asking Zhang Chunxiang one after another.
"Aren't we waiting for you!" Zhang Chunxiang replied half-jokingly and half-seriously. It was not because of psychological effects, but because of the catalysis of alcohol, her face turned red.
After hearing this, Xiao Qiang chuckled twice: "Chunxiang, it's already this time, so don't make fun of me." After saying that, Xiao Qiang took another sip of wine.
"Qiangzi, I've actually been in love with you since high school, but you didn't even look at me." Zhang Chunxiang pouted and whispered shyly.
After hearing this, Xiao Qiang looked at Zhang Chunxiang with a half-smile, and asked in a drunken state: "Really?"
The two of them drank wine and chatted about some old stories from high school. Slowly, Xiao Qiang's consciousness became more and more blurred, and later he simply fell asleep on the table.
"Qiangzi, wake up, Qiangzi!" Zhang Chunxiang shouted softly while pushing Xiao Qiang gently.
Seeing that Xiao Qiang had no intention of waking up, Zhang Chunxiang knew that he was really drunk. After thinking about it, he picked up his mobile phone and called Grasshopper in the same village: "Hey, Grasshopper, Qiangzi is drunk." , is sleeping on the table in front of the old Zhang’s food stall, please come over quickly."
Grasshopper is also Xiao Qiang's good friend, and they hung out together a lot when they were young. "Chunxiang, why are you two together?" Grasshopper asked with a malicious smile on the phone.
"Grasshopper, can you be serious? Come here quickly." Zhang Chunxiang drank angrily.
"Okay, okay! Come over right away." Grasshopper hung up the phone after saying that.
After a while, Grasshopper drove to the door of Lao Zhang's food stall.
"Chunxiang, how much wine did Qiangzi drink?" Grasshopper glanced at the wine bottles on the ground and on the table after asking, "It's not much, why are you so drunk?"
"Hey, didn't they all say that? It's easy to get drunk if you drink too much. Xiao Qiang is feeling depressed." Zhang Chunxiang sighed and replied.
"What's wrong with him?" Grasshopper asked Zhang Chunxiang while supporting Xiao Qiang and walking to the car.
"I heard from Qiangzi that his wife seemed to be getting involved with him when he was young." Zhang Chunxiang replied in a low voice.
"Oh, I've heard about this too. Isn't it Jiang Qinghua? But I asked Tsinghua, and he said that it was all rumored by others, and there was no trace of it. Who knows whether it is true or false!" After Xiao Qiang helped him into the car, Zhang Chunxiang also got into the back seat and sat down next to Xiao Qiang: "No one will admit this kind of thing unless they are caught in bed, right?"
"Who says it's not the case! Since it's all been spread, it definitely can't be groundless." Grasshopper replied while driving the car.
Soon, Grasshopper drove Xiao Qiang to his home.After Xiao Qiang was settled, Zhang Chunxiang was also sent back.
Early the next morning, Xiao Qiang opened his sleepy eyes and looked around blankly: "Where am I?" While talking to himself, he saw the grasshopper walking in.
"Qiangzi, are you awake?" Grasshopper asked with a smile.
"Grasshopper? Why am I here?" Xiao Qiang asked doubtfully.
"You were drunk last night. Chunxiang called me and asked me to pull you back." Grasshopper walked to Xiao Qiang's bed and sat down, joking with a smile, "Don't tell me yet, Zhang Chunxiang is so mean to you." It’s such a deep love.”
Xiao Qiang smiled awkwardly and replied: "I remember drinking with Zhang Chunxiang last night. I don't know how much I drank, and then I lost consciousness." Xiao Qiang touched the back of his head and said, "My head is still there now." It hurts a little."
Grasshopper came up to Xiao Qiang and whispered: "Qiangzi, I think Chunxiang is very kind to you, affectionate and righteous. Do you think that if you two were together, wouldn't there be so many things?"
Xiao Qiang rolled his eyes at the grasshopper and replied: "Stop teasing me, are you like Zhang Chunxiang? You have to have a figure but no figure, no appearance, no education, and now you are over 30 and you haven't gotten married yet, what can I do?" Will you want her?"
"What's the use of just looking good? Why don't I give you a hat!" Grasshopper sneered disapprovingly.
"What did you say? How do you know this?" After hearing this, Xiao Qiang was shocked as if he was electrocuted, and he quickly sat up straight and asked.
"Well, although we are not in the same village, as the saying goes, good things don't go out and scandals spread thousands of miles. I already knew this about you." Grasshopper said nonchalantly.
After hearing this, Xiao Qiang felt even more ashamed. He sat blankly on the bed, lowered his head and said nothing.
Seeing this, Grasshopper continued: "Qiangzi, let me tell you something. I heard that our village is about to be demolished, so I will get three sets of resettlement houses based on the homestead of Zhang Chunxiang and her family. By then, I'm afraid there are many men who want to chase Zhang Chunxiang. You still don't like her, but if she doesn't dislike you for getting married and having children, it's already very good."
"Grasshopper, although Xiao Ju treats me...but I haven't thought about divorce yet." Although Xiao Qiang now particularly hates Xiao Ju and Jiang Qinghua, he has never thought of divorcing Xiao Ju.
"I said you are stupid. You and I are both married people. What is the most important thing in marriage? Money must be the most important thing. What is love or not, love or affection? Without money, we can live by drinking the northwest wind. Huh?" Grasshopper continued to fiddle with Xiao Qiang according to his three points of view.
After hearing this, Xiao Qiang let out a long sigh: "Oh... it's not good. If I hadn't been driving outside all day long to make money, Jiang Qinghua wouldn't have had the chance to get close to Xiao Ju, and things wouldn't have happened." It got to this point today.”
"No, having an ugly wife is a treasure. Just like Chunxiang, no one will care about her even if she leaves her on the roadside. She is safe." Grasshopper continued with a smile, "You said that if you two get married, Aren’t those three houses yours from now on? Do you still need to work hard all day to drive a sports car?”
Xiao Qiang lowered his head and thought about it, he was right. Who should he be with? So he didn't refute what Grasshopper said: "Okay, how about you tell Chunxiang."
"Brother, you have to rely on yourself for this kind of thing. Anyway, I brought it to you." Grasshopper patted Xiao Qiang's chest, leaned into his ear and whispered, "When I sent you back last night, Zhang Chunxiang specifically explained this."
After Grasshopper finished speaking, the two looked at each other tacitly, and then laughed.
After returning from Grasshopper's house, Xiao Qiang stood steadily in his yard, still looking a little dazed.At this time, Xiaoju was busy cooking in the kitchen. Her hair was spread casually. Her formerly delicate face had also changed a lot. She was wearing cheap clothes bought from a street stall. Because she had given birth to a child, His figure also became bloated, and he looked so listless and slovenly.Niu Niu mischievously threw the washed vegetable leaves in the basket on the floor.
Seeing this, Xiaoju raised Niuniu and shouted loudly: "Niuniu! Don't make trouble! You threw the vegetable leaves all over the floor, and you have to trouble me to wash them again."
Xiao Qiang suddenly discovered that the delicate and gentle Xiao Ju in the past had turned into the grumpy, unkempt, yellow-faced woman now.Today's Xiaoju has nothing to do with beauty.Yes, no matter how beautiful a woman is, she will eventually be tortured beyond recognition by a miserable married life.Such a comparison, it seems that Zhang Chunxiang is not so ugly, but more fashionable and cute.
How about being with Zhang Chunxiang? It's rare that she has been infatuated with him for so many years.Thinking of this, Xiao Qiang quickly walked into the kitchen and shouted: "Xiaoju, what are you yelling at? Look at you, you have become like a shrew now!"
After Xiao Qiang finished speaking, he picked up Niuniu and left the kitchen.
"Xiao Qiang, let me ask you, where were you last night? Why didn't you come back all night?" When Xiao Ju saw Xiao Qiang coming back, she stepped forward and asked loudly.
"What qualifications do you have to care about me!" Xiao Qiang replied angrily while hugging Niu Niu.
"Xiao Qiang, do you know how many calls I made to you last night? I thought you had an accident while driving, but I didn't expect that a woman answered the phone. If you call later, just turn off the phone! Can you explain to me? What's going on?" Xiaoju asked angrily.
Xiao Qiang sneered and replied: "You still have the nerve to question me? You are allowed to steal people, but you are not allowed to find other women outside!"
"Xiao Qiang! Let me say it again, Jiang Qinghua and I are innocent. I walk and sit upright, and I know that I have not done anything to regret you." Xiaoju cried loudly and felt aggrieved.
"Hmph! Who would believe it!" Xiao Qiang glanced at Xiao Ju contemptuously, then returned to the back room with Niu Niu in his arms.
"Is there someone outside you?" Xiaoju followed closely and asked sadly.
Xiao Qiang glanced at Xiao Ju with disgust, why is the woman standing in front of him so ugly?I haven't seen Chunxiang yet. I was really blinded by lard at the beginning. How could I be obsessed with her?
Now this home is simply unbearable!Xiao Qiang couldn't wait to go to Zhang Chunxiang right away. Not only did he have Wenwen Township but also three apartments there. What did Xiaoju have?In addition to a college degree, what else can you get?Thinking of this, Xiao Qiang left Niu Niu and went out angrily, completely ignoring Niu Niu who was crying because she was ignored by her parents for no reason, and Xiao Ju who was heartbroken.
