Chapter 90 Starry Night
By the time everyone worked together to prepare dinner, it was already a little late.
There are no high-rise buildings in the Olive District, and the weather is very good today. Just raise your head slightly and you will have a clear view of the bright stars.
It had been a long time since I had seen such a starry sky, and Su Chengyi was a little lost in thought.
Chu Qingmian next to him followed his example and raised his head.
"Wow, the stars are so bright today! I can even see the Big Dipper!"
Chu Qingmian pointed it out to Su Chengyi with some surprise.
Su Chengyi looked in the direction of her finger with a smile in her tone.
"The handle of the bucket points to the east, and spring is everywhere."
"You know this! What about summer, I like summer."
"The handle of the bucket points to the north, and it is summer all over the world."
Su Chengyi answered her question while recalling the constellation map in his mind.
“Looking along the handle of the bucket, there is a very bright star. That is the great horn of Boötes, and further down is Spica, the main star of Virgo.”
Chu Qingmian’s eyes opened. It must be big, follow his words and search down carefully one by one.
“Near the Ursa Major, in the constellation Canes Canes, there is a famous Whirlpool Nebula, which was the first galaxy to be recorded with a spiral shape and was named M51. Of course, it is difficult to observe with the naked eye, after all, the distance Earth is already 31 million light years away, but it’s very beautiful.”
"How come you know all this!"
Listening to his slow introduction, Chu Qingmian couldn't help but sigh.
“To the southwest of Virgo is Corvus, and below Corvus is the tail of Hydra. The reason why Hydra is called this is because it spans most of the sky from east to west and is the largest "One of the constellations."
At this point, Su Chengyi suddenly smiled softly.
“Look to the northeast, that’s Leo.”
"Where is it?"
Chu Qingmian sat up and looked very excited.
Girls of her age are very enthusiastic about zodiac signs.
“That’s the most beautiful one.”
Spring night is not the best time for stargazing. The most dazzling center in the starry sky is Leo.
Seeing one of the twelve constellations, Chu Qingmian smiled with crooked eyebrows and seemed very satisfied.
She was naturally good-looking, and when she smiled like this, one could not help but feel that there was nothing worth worrying about in the world.
“Why do you remember all this so clearly?”
While she was happy, she was also a little curious about how many things were in the mind of the person next to her.
“I loved watching stars when I was a child.”
Of course, Su Chengyi would not tell her that when she was a child, she believed that people would turn into stars when they died.
“Aren’t the necks of the two distinguished guests tired?”
Xu Yang held up a handful of skewers and asked politely like a waiter.
The special barbecue aroma exclusive to food stalls filled the air. Su Chengyi turned around and saw that the long table had been set up, everyone had sat down, and it was already time to officially start the meal.
“The table is full of barbecues, but there are always people looking up at the stars!”
Chu Qingmian said vaguely while biting the meat skewers.
Su Chengyi was amused by her and raised her hand to hand her a tissue.
Seeing that everyone was seated, Brother Da Fei made a habit of making some opening remarks, so he raised his glass and said:
“We have a few new friends here today. It’s really amazing. "Exquisite brilliance!" In fact, they usually blow on the bottle, and today they used the cup because of the respect of these new friends.
Brother Xiao Fei also raised his wine glass and came forward to remind:
"Brother, the plum blossoms are shining brightly."
Brother Da Fei pretended not to hear anything and continued talking to himself. :
“Have a good meal and drink well! Let me have a drink first!”
Then he raised his head and drank the beer in the cup. He set an example, except for Uncle Gao and who were about to drive. Yangliu and the others followed and had a drink.
Originally, Su Chengyi and the others had not prepared beer as this was a typical "children's table", but Xu Yang shamelessly asked for a bottle.
So everyone got just one cup.
Su Chengyi swung the foamy beer in the cup. Although he was not a good drinker, a few glasses would definitely be fine.
Han Bing happened to eat the chili pepper, picked up the cup and took a big sip, and his facial features suddenly wrinkled up.
“It tastes so bad!”
Xu Yang looked at her expression and almost lost his breath with laughter.
"You haven't even drank beer! You're too weak!"
"Is drinking alcohol something worth showing off? Childish!"
< br>Lin Zhiwan had already poured Han Bing a glass of water, and she drank back while talking back.
“What if?”
Xu Yang raised his glass with some pride,
“Come on, Mr. Yi, let’s have a drink.”
Su Chengyi cooperatively raised the glass and touched it with him.
There happened to be a charcoal fire burning nearby, which made people feel a little warm. The cold beer went into the throat, which was very refreshing.
The food stalls at night are noisy with people, the smell of chili and cumin, and the sound of clinking wine glasses. There is no place more smoky than this.
Su Chengyi saw Chu Qingmian eating meat very seriously, and suddenly asked curiously:
"Have you ever eaten at a food stall before?"
Chu Qingmian shook his head, what's wrong with the family? Maybe let her come to a place like this to eat.
After today’s meal, I have to scold him again when I get home. I don’t care, and I have to eat enough.
Xu Yang took another bottle of beer from the next table and poured it for himself and Su Chengyi.
Chu Qingmian had already drank up all the contents in her cup at some point. Xu Yang wanted to pour some more for her, but Su Chengyi raised his hand to block it.
Her skin is white, and she is already a little red after drinking a little wine, which is even more obvious under the red light of the charcoal fire. She is as delicate and childish as a porcelain doll.
Looking at it, he probably hasn’t had much contact with alcohol. If he drinks again, he will get drunk.
The chatter of the adults at the other table became louder and louder. The culture of middle-aged people at the wine table is to talk and brag.
However, unlike the successful people we are used to hearing about the situation and scolding Fang Qiu, they only talk about small things about themselves.
It turns out that Brother Da Fei and Brother Xiao Fei are not real brothers, but they met when they were working. They happened to have the word "fei" in their names. In order to distinguish them, one became Da Fei and the other became Xiao Fei.
No wonder they looked completely different. Su Chengyi looked at the two people who were holding each other's back.
“My hometown is from a small village in the northwest. If you tell me, no one will know. When I was fifteen years old, I came to Tang’an City to work alone. As soon as I got off the train, all my money was stolen! My parents had saved it for me for more than half a year. I didn’t want to hide it from everyone. I wanted to jump off the train track and die.”
Brother Xiao Fei laughed at himself when he said this. The ground smiled.
“Don’t look at my poor health now. When I was fifteen years old, I was even more exaggerated, just like a bean sprout. No one wanted me to move bricks on the construction site, so I could only Go pick up rags. I didn’t expect that there are rules for picking up rags. Who will own this piece and who will belong to that piece have already been arranged.”
When he told this, the boys and girls at the other table had already put down their chopsticks and pricked up their ears to listen to his story.
“Hey, I grabbed rubbish from their hands, and I got beaten a lot. Later, I met my big brother Fei. He saw me being beaten by several beggars, and he came up Helping me can almost be said to have saved my life. It was also because of his guarantee that I got a job on the construction site."
This is the first time that Chu Qingmian knows that picking up rags is risky. , having to fight for it, I couldn’t help but be a little shocked.
