splendid star

Chapter 55 Xiaoju and Xiao Qiang are together
Since the last time Xiao Ju told Xiao Qiang about the situation at home, Xiao Qiang has not contacted Xiao Ju for several days.During this period of time, Xiao Ju felt empty in her heart. Although she didn't blame Xiao Qiang, all this seemed to be expected - this was her life, but she still felt a little lost in her heart. Just when she had just fallen into being... In this gentle and caring place, this love suddenly passed away, leaving behind loneliness and melancholy.But Xiaoju does not regret doing this. She knows that if some words are not revealed truthfully at the beginning, and then they lie to make up for it later when the two parties get deeper and deeper, the harm to both parties will only be greater.
Xiao Ju thought to herself: Xiao Qiang appeared in her world inadvertently from the beginning, and now he chose to leave quietly.To her, his appearance was like a shining meteor, quickly streaking across her dark night sky, and then disappearing at the end of the sky in a flash.
Some time had passed since the last conversation. At noon that day, Xiaoju had had lunch and was sitting in the store with her eyes closed and taking a nap. A colleague came over and shouted: "Xu Xiaoju, someone is looking for her."
Which client will it be that wants to see a house?Xiaoju rubbed her eyes, cheered up, and walked to the door of the store as usual.She saw several colleagues standing at the door. Everyone turned around and saw her coming out, and started to cheer in unison.Xiao Ju didn't understand what happened. She walked through the crowd to the door in confusion, and saw Xiao Qiang standing there with a large bouquet of flowers in his hand and a smile on his face.Xiaoju suddenly blushed.
When Xiao Qiang saw Xiao Ju coming out, he quickly reached out and handed the flowers over, saying, "Xiao Ju, this is for you."At this time, the male colleagues were all cheering and the female colleagues were envious.
Xiaoju lowered her head and took the flower coyly.This was the first time in her life that she had received tweed from others. Xiaoju's heart was filled with emotion. At this moment, she felt as if she was the happiest woman in the world.
When the store manager saw this scene, he smiled and said to her: "Xiao Ju, you have been working very hard recently. The company will give you a half-day off to relax."
After hearing this, Xiaoju looked at the store manager gratefully and said, "Thank you, store manager."
After hearing this, Xiao Qiang quickly opened the car door, made a gesture of "please" as the waiter said, and said with a smile: "Please! Ms. Xiaoju."
Xiaoju shyly lowered her head and got into the car.
After sitting down, Xiaoju and Xiao Qiang waved to their colleagues and the car drove away.
Everyone was left whispering in laughter.Some said Xiaoju was so happy, some said they were envious and hoped someone would give them such a large bouquet of flowers, and some words were full of jealousy and jealousy.
Xiaoju looked at Xiao Qiang with a blushing face and said softly: "Thank you for the flowers. This is the first time I have received flowers from others!"
Xiao Qiang smiled and said, "Let's go! I'll take you to a place."
After hearing this, Xiaoju nodded slightly.
Xiao Qiang took Xiaoju to a large playground.He happily told Xiaoju about his careful arrangements: "Let's have fun at the playground first, then I'll take you to a movie, watch the movie, and then have dinner. After dinner, I'll take you home." "
Xiaoju listened to Xiao Qiang's methodical plan and asked tentatively: "Brother Xiao, have you thought it through?"
Xiao Qiang glanced at Xiaoju lovingly and said quietly: "Xiaoju, do you know? I've been having a hard time these past few days, and I miss you every moment. Now, I have decided that your The scholarship loan is not much, so I will pay it back for you first. We will find a solution together for your brother's gift money when the time comes."
After hearing this, Xiao Ju was moved and wiped away tears. She choked and said, "Thank you, Brother Xiao!"
Xiao Qiang saw Xiao Ju's expression of pear blossoms and rain, and quickly hugged Xiao Ju in his arms.Xiaoju shyly pressed her face gently against Xiao Qiang's chest, closed her eyes and let her thoughts wander.Xiao Qiang looked at the weak Xiao Ju in his arms, lowered his head and said affectionately: "Xiao Ju, I have thought about it. I will accompany you on the road ahead!"
Xiao Ju nodded slightly. This man from Beijing made Xiao Ju, who had been wandering alone for many years, feel more at ease than ever before; this warm chest made Xiao Ju, who had always been sensitive, timid and inferior, feel safer than ever before.
Next, the two played many projects at the playground together.When Xiao Ju was sitting on the carousel, Xiao Qiang was taking pictures on the side. Xiao Ju felt as if she had traveled back to her childhood, having fun unscrupulously. Xiao Qiang was like an elder who doted on her, silently guarding her.
She remembered that when she was a child, she once saw on TV that children in the city were taken to play by their parents and rode a merry-go-round.At that time, I spent my whole day taking care of my younger siblings. When I saw peers around me who were loved by their parents, my eyes were filled with envy.The man in front of her, who was several years older than herself, made Xiaoju experience what pampering was for the first time.
After playing a round of amusement rides, Xiaoju's body and mind were completely relaxed. A bright smile that she hadn't seen in a long, long time now filled her delicate face.Xiao Qiang looked at Xiao Ju's happy smiling face and thought to himself unconsciously: This girl from a foreign land has always had a slight sadness on her face since they first met her. This was the first time he saw Xiao Ju's bright and beautiful smile. Blooming look.Thinking of this, he suddenly felt that he was filled with a sense of accomplishment.
After coming out of the amusement park, Xiao Qiang took Xiao Ju to the cinema.
Xiao Qiang bought a bucket of popcorn and two drinks. Xiao Ju took the drinks, looked around the theater with curiosity, and said to Xiao Qiang excitedly: "This is my first time entering a movie theater! I remember when I was a child, we were all in the village. The brigade puts on an outdoor movie every few months, which is also an entertainment program that the children in the village are looking forward to. Every time before the movie, the three of us, my sister and I, don’t even bother to eat dinner, so we move a small stool early I went to the screening place to grab a seat, because I was afraid that if I got there late, I wouldn’t get a good seat.”
Xiao Qiang listened to Xiao Ju telling stories about his childhood with a smile on his face, and then said dotingly: "If you like to watch, I will often take you here to watch movies in the future."
Xiaoju quickly waved her hands and said, "That won't work. How much will it cost? There's no need to waste it."
After Xiao Qiang heard this, he felt even more that Xiao Ju was really a good girl who knew how to live a good life, and she should also be a good wife and mother in the future.Thinking of this, Xiao Qiang couldn't help but smile.
After the two watched the movie, Xiao Qiang drove Xiao Ju to a restaurant in the suburbs.
After sitting down, Xiao Qiang smiled and said to Xiao Ju: "I also invited a buddy to have dinner with me today, as you have seen."
Xiaoju asked curiously: "Have I seen it? Who is it?"
Xiao Qiang pretended to be mysterious and said: "You will know when we meet."
Xiao Ju was sitting facing the door of the restaurant, while Xiao Qiang was ordering with his back to the door and his head lowered.At this moment, a tall and thin young man walked over. Xiao Ju recognized this person at a glance as the client that Xiao Qiang brought to her to see the house some time ago.
The young man came over and nodded to say hello to Xiao Ju. Then he patted the shoulder of Xiao Qiang, who was lowering his head to order, and shouted: "Brother Qiang."
Xiao Qiang raised his head and glanced at the young man. He quickly moved a seat inside and asked him to sit down. He introduced Xiaoju with a smile: "This buddy is Jiang Qinghua, my childhood friend. This is Xiaoju. You two have met before." of."
Xiaoju smiled and said hello: "Hello, I remember you, I showed you the house. Your name is Jiang Qinghua?" Xiaoju thought this name was quite special.
After Jiang Qinghua sat down, he smiled and exposed Xiao Qiang's conspiracy: "The last time I inspected a house was a lie, but the inspection of people was real."
After Xiao Qiang heard this, he punched Jiang Qinghua gently and began to expose his shortcomings: "Do you know why he is called Qinghua? When he was a child, his father hoped that he could be admitted to Tsinghua University when he grew up, so he named him Tsinghua. This guy has mediocre talents. He only went to a junior college. After graduation, he took the exam to be a village official, and now he works in our village committee!"
Xiaoju pursed her lips and said with a smile: "That's pretty awesome."
Jiang Qinghua also laughed and teased Xiao Qiang: "Xiao Ju is right, I am also a college student after all. Although I am not as good as Xiao Ju's undergraduate degree, I am at least better than you, a high school student."
Xiao Qiang quickly said: "Don't call her sister-in-law one by one. Although she is younger than you, she is still your sister-in-law. Please call her sister-in-law quickly."
Jiang Qinghua looked at Xiao Ju, who was younger than him, looked so delicate, and had a higher education than himself, and opened his mouth. He could not say the word "sister-in-law", and his face turned red.
Xiaoju giggled when she saw Jiang Qinghua like this: "Okay, Brother Xiao, don't embarrass him. Jiang Qinghua, just call me Xiaoju."
Xiao Qiang quickly added: "That won't work. I can only call you Xiaoju, and you have to call me sister-in-law from now on."
Xiaoju smiled and asked Jiang Qinghua: "How old are you this year?"
Jiang Qinghua said: "I heard from Brother Qiang that you are 24 years old this year. I am two years older than you and two years younger than Brother Qiang."
Xiao Qiang took over and said, "Don't worry about this elementary school math problem! Just say it's over when you're 26 years old. You're still two years older and two years younger." He then smiled and said to Xiao Ju, "You know? I was the best when I was a child. I’m afraid of doing math problems, and I get confused when I see math problems.”
After hearing this, Jiang Qinghua quickly told Xiao Ju: "Xiao Ju, do you know? Although Brother Qiang is two years older than me, I helped him with many of his math problems when he was a child."
Xiao Qiang listened to Jiang Qinghua keep revealing the embarrassing things about his childhood, so he made a "cut you" gesture on Jiang Qinghua's head and said, "Xiaoju, do you know? When I was a child, I was the child king of our village. This guy is like a follower, following me around every day."
The two men competed in front of Xiao Ju and told each other's embarrassing stories when they were young, making Xiao Ju giggle.This scene seems to be back to the days of children playing house.
The food is here!The conversation between the two of them stopped.After Jiang Qinghua poured drinks for the three people, he asked Xiao Qiang: "Brother Qiang, didn't you ask Grasshopper to come with you?"
Xiao Qiang said angrily: "This guy is busy showing off at his father-in-law's house! Ever since my wife's house was demolished and divided into two apartments, it's like a different person, serving all kinds of things and fawning in all kinds of ways all day long. .”
After Jiang Qinghua heard this, he smiled and agreed: "Yes, this grasshopper used to dislike his wife in various ways! By the way, is he from the same village as Zhang Chunxiang?"
After Xiao Qiang heard this, he quickly glanced at Jiang Qinghua. Jiang Qinghua reacted immediately, changed the subject in a hurry, and greeted: "Xiao Ju, hurry up and eat the food."
Xiao Qiang became jealous: "My girlfriend, you need to greet me! Why are you single at such an old age?"
Jiang Qinghua smiled awkwardly: "Isn't it because I haven't met the right person yet? I wish I was as lucky as Brother Qiang."
After a pleasant dinner, it was getting late.Xiao Qiang drove Xiaoju back to his residence without saying anything.
Xiao Qiang stood at the door of the car, looking at Xiaoju reluctantly and said, "Xiaoju! Thank you for agreeing to be my girlfriend! I am really happy today! I really can't bear to have you go back like this."
Xiao Ju smiled brightly and said: "Brother Xiao, I also had a lot of fun today. Thank you!"
Xiao Qiang said a little embarrassedly: "Xiao Ju, can you stop calling me Brother Xiao?"
Xiaoju also lowered her head and said shyly: "Then what should I call you?"
Xiao Qiang scratched his head and said, "I haven't thought about it yet, but Brother Xiao feels a little out of touch and not intimate."
Xiaoju laughed: "Then I also call you Brother Qiang?"
After hearing this, Xiao Qiang said: "Let's forget it. How about you follow my mother and call me Qiangzi?"
Xiaoju said with a smile: "Qiangzi doesn't sound good, I might as well call him Brother Qiang!"
Xiao Qiang said: "Then it's up to you, Brother Qiang will be Brother Qiang."
The awkward scene between the two people happened to be seen by Guan Lu.She hid at the entrance of the stairs, waiting for Xiao Ju to send Xiao Qiang away, and when she was about to open the door of her room, she walked over quickly and stopped Xiao Ju, and asked loudly: "Xiao Ju, who was the man who sent you back just now?"
Xiaoju was startled by Guan Lu's sudden cry, and she quickly said: "That...that man is my boyfriend, Xiao Qiang."
Guan Lu said angrily: "Xiaoju! You hid it really deep. It's okay if you didn't tell Yuqing and Siyi about such a big matter, but you hid even me. It's my usual fault." I care about you so much, do you still think of me as a sister in your eyes?"
Xiaoju didn't expect Guan Lu to be so angry, so she quickly stepped forward and explained: "Lulu, I'm sorry! I didn't mean to hide it deliberately. I just agreed to him today, and I haven't had time to tell everyone yet!"
Guan Lu pushed Xiaoju away and said angrily: "Who can believe it! Last time, people chased me to the door of the house, and I didn't see you mention it later? Otherwise, I happened to bump into me that day, and I would have been harassed all the time. You’re in the dark!”
Xiaoju replied in surprise: "Last time it was because he confessed his love to me and I rejected him. I think the horoscope was not even mentioned before."
Guan Lu said: "Looking at the innocent look on your face, you just keep pretending! Do you think you have found a Beijinger and are afraid that I will take it away!"
Xiaoju was so anxious that she didn't know how to explain: "Lulu, listen to my explanation, things are not what you think..."
Guan Lu interrupted Xiaoju: "Okay, don't explain, I don't want to hear it. In short, I won't tell you anything in the future! I am so stupid, I am a big fool!"
After Guan Lu finished speaking, she turned around and went up the stairs.
Looking at Guan Lu's decisive departure, Xiaoju didn't understand why Guan Lu would be so angry when she found a boyfriend.She was full of grievances, but at the moment she didn't know how to explain it.
