Chapter Thirty-Nine: Full of Wine and Food

Along the way, "Brother Ghost" tried to change Zhang Guoqiang to "drive", and he was full of spirit, and he seemed to have endless energy, and rode to the Fanqingjiang Bridge in one go. Uncle Qiang, Aunt Qiang, Zheng Lijuan and Liu Jianjian, standing in the shade of the tree at the head of the bridge, saw the three of them coming, and Uncle Qiang waved to stop. Zhang Guoqiang steadily parked the car in front of them, looking at Uncle Qiang and Aunt Qiang, uncontrollable tears flowed out of his eyes. Liu Jianshe walked over and patted him on the shoulder and said: Guoqiang, it's okay, the man doesn't flick if he has tears! After speaking, he put a firecracker on the open space, and it crackled through the heavens and the earth.

Aunt Qiang smiled and said: "Son, change the old clothes on your body, put on new ones for you, break the old and make the new!" "Brother Ghost" suddenly became interested, and said with a smile: Take a bath and change it again! Zhang Guoqiang already understood the meaning of "Brother Ghost", and with the new clothes, the two walked to the shore and took off their clothes. Zhang Xuemei sat on the grass on the bank, blowing the breeze, and watched with great interest as the two of them churned in the river, causing the undercurrent to surge and the river to hibernate. After a lap, the two of them were lying on the grass on the shore against the sun, and the "ghost brother" covered his eyes with his hands and asked: Brother Qiang, how do you arrange to come down? Zhang Guoqiang sighed and said anxiously: I haven't thought about it yet, and I don't know what to do when I come down!

"Brother Ghost" had an idea, sat up, and said: Let me tell you something, see if you are interested? Zhang Guoqiang turned his head to look at "Brother Ghost," and "Brother Ghost" told him about the bookstore and his brilliant achievements. After listening to this, Zhang Guoqiang said with a little depression: I'm afraid I can't do this with you, I haven't even finished junior high school, those materials are good, those are not good, I can't say one, two, three!

"Brother Ghost" looked at him and said with a little anger: Then what are you going to do, the boss is not small! Zhang Guoqiang said helplessly: It really can't be done, the worst way is to sell meat! "Brother Ghost" sighed and said: It's okay, take your time, it will always get better!

Brother Ghost - Brother Qiang - Did you two forget about me? Zhang Xuemei shouted at them a little angrily, "Brother Ghost" quickly stood up, touched the dried pants on his body, and shouted loudly embarrassedly: Here it is - here - Zhang Guoqiang also echoed and said: "Here it is - brother and sister - the two of them pulled their clothes and put them on. "Brother Ghost" climbed a few wicker sticks by the way, knitted a wicker wreath while walking, saw Zhang Xuemei, gently put it on her head, stretched out his hand to pull her up, and took the "manpower convertible" to turn the head of the car to the barber shop at the corner of the street, and after the haircut, he bumped on the embankment of the Qishui River.

After getting off the stone bridge, Zhang Xuemei saw that Zhang Guoqiang was about to turn left, and hurriedly shouted to him: Brother Qiang-Brother Qiang-Uncle and Aunt asked us all to go to Brother Ghost's house--they are all there! Zhang Guo turned the head of the car, and under the eyes of the villagers, he asked for warmth and cared for Gary, and the tricycle swayed into the yard.

Uncle Qiang squatted on a pile of wood in the carpentry shed, "clicking" the cigarette roll, Liu Jianshe climbed on the table, looking at the unfolded drawings, and talking with Uncle Qiang with great interest while watching; the sound of pots and pans in the kitchen, the sound of bellows "crackling", and the cheerful voices of Aunt Qiang and Zheng Lijuan- Uncle Qiang saw the tricycle enter the yard, stood up, leaned over and rubbed his numb calves, and went up to look at the parked car; Liu Jianshe watched the three of them get out of the car, glanced at the drawings, and also walked up, and said: Guixian, take Xuemei and Guoqiang to rest the meeting, you go and move the table, stool, and chair out--Before Liu Jianshe finished speaking, Uncle Qiang said: Guoqiang, you go too! Turned to Liu Jianshe and said with a smile: Uncle, there are no outsiders today, let our daughter-in-law rest, and his brothers and sisters will move in!

Liu Jianshe laughed hehehehe, and said: Uncle, don't dare to make such a joke, and say that Xuemei is unhappy! Zhang Xuemei heard the conversation between the two, and also said half-jokingly and generously: "Uncle Liang—it's okay to joke, just don't take it seriously!" This provoked Uncle Qiang and Liu Jianshe to laugh "hahaha."

The tables, chairs and benches in the courtyard should be properly placed, and all the delicacies, wines and delicacies are also on the table. Liu Jianshe just wanted to raise a glass to congratulate, Zheng Lijuan looked at the "ghost brother" and Zhang Guoqiang hungry, salivating, eager to try, looked at Liu Jianshe with a smile and said: Your two brothers drink first, let the three children eat first, from morning to now, they are still happy that they haven't even eaten a mouthful of food!

Liu Jianshe smiled and nodded in agreement, Uncle Qiang picked up the wine glass and drank a glass with Liu Jianjian. "Brother Ghost" and Zhang Guoqiang didn't care about saying a word, they devoured two bowls of rice, Zhang Xuemei also chewed and ate a bowl slowly, Uncle Qiang looked at Zhang Guoqiang after eating a round, and said: Guoqiang, come on, give your uncle and aunt, kowtow first! After speaking, Zhang Guoqiang knelt on the ground with a "poof", and kowtowed to Liu Jianshe and Zheng Lijuan, which immediately made the two of them at a loss and unable to respond, so they got up in a panic and quickly helped Zhang Guoqiang up.

Liu Jianshe was a little angry, and said complainingly: Uncle Qiang, what are you doing here, and you still do this big gift, how can the two of us afford it? Aunt Qiang smiled and said: I can afford it—I can afford it—if it weren't for the two of you all these years, I would have died of heart!"

Zheng Lijuan patted Aunt Qiang and said: What did you say, Guoqiang didn't come back well, look forward, and it will get better slowly! Liu Jianshe also echoed: That is, Aunt Qiang, Guoqiang is back, the sky will open, and every day will be a good day in the future!

Uncle Qiang said with a smile: Guoqiang, have a drink with your brother, you are not here, he takes care of me and your mother, but as my father and mother, I am more concerned than your sister! Zheng Lijuan watched the two of them finish drinking, and hurriedly shouted: Don't stop, move the chopsticks-move the chopsticks-hurry up and eat, you are not allowed to leave it today, eat it all! Xuemei, eat quickly-

"Brother Ghost" half-jokingly said: That's it—I can't finish eating and walking, the bags are ready! Causing a table of people to laugh hahahaha, it was another round of resignation, the delicacies were exhausted, and the wine was in full swing.

"Brother Ghost" looked at Zhang Xuemei and said with a smile: Xuemei, why are you still reserved today, come and have a drink! As she spoke, she raised her wine glass and held it in front of her, Zheng Lijuan glanced at "Brother Ghost" with her eyes, looked at Zhang Xuemei kindly, and said: If you want to drink, don't listen to him! Zhang Xuemei is like a magnolia in the sunshine, with red petals, pulling up the new branches, and half-concealing the wine glass, Zhang Guoqiang smiled evilly and shouted: "Have a drink, brother and sister!" Zhang Xuemei put down the wine glass angrily, "Brother Ghost" He retracted his arm slightly, looked at her and said: Drink quickly, I can't even hold the cup!

Zhang Xuemei picked up the wine glass again, red stamens, dripping into the ganlin, Zheng Lijuan hurriedly shouted next to her: Xuemei - eat some food! Zhang Xuemei looked at Zheng Lijuan with a smile, picked up chopsticks and ate a mouthful of food, and looked at the "ghost brother" who was staring at her intently, blooming buds slightly, and the rich fragrance echoed between the two -

Liu Jianshe raised his wine glass, pushed it in front of Zhang Guoqiang, and asked: Guoqiang, what are you going to do next, what do you think? Zhang Guoqiang held the wine glass with both hands, and he held it slightly, and after a glass of wine and fish flowed in, he said: Uncle, I haven't thought about it yet, find a serious job to earn money for two years, renovate the old house, quickly find a daughter-in-law, and take care of my children while my parents can still give me a child-

After listening to Aunt Qiang, Uncle Qiang had tears in her eyes, and she lowered her head to wipe her tears. "Brother Ghost" suddenly stood up happily, with a smile on his face, nodding frequently in self-identification, looking at everyone secretly, and saying: Brother Qiang, I thought about what you are doing next! Everyone looked at some "Ghost Brother" with expectant eyes.
