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 stars.

It had been a long time since he 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 his tone.

"If the handle of the bucket points to the east, it will be spring all over the world."

"You all know this! What about summer? I like summer."

"The handle of the bucket points north, and it is summer all over the world."

Su Chengyi answered her questions while recalling the constellation chart 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 wide, and she followed his words and searched down one by one carefully.

"Near Ursa Major and in the constellation Canes, there is a famous Whirlpool Nebula. It is the first galaxy to be recorded with a spiral shape and is named M51. Of course, it is difficult to observe with the naked eye. After all, it is 100 meters away from the earth. It's thousands of 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 one of the largest constellations."

Speaking of this, Su Chengyi suddenly smiled softly.

"Look to the northeast, that's Leo."

"Where is where?"

Chu Qingmian sat up immediately, looking very excited.

Girls of her age are very enthusiastic about astrology.

"That's the most beautiful one."

Spring nights are 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 is naturally good-looking, and when she smiles like this, one can't help but feel that there is nothing worth worrying about in the world.

"Why do you remember these so clearly?"

While she was happy, she was also a little curious about how much was in the mind of the person next to her.

"When I was little, I loved looking at the stars."

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 these two distinguished guests tired?"

Xu Yang held a handful of skewers in his hand and asked politely like a waiter.

The special barbecue aroma unique to food stalls filled the air. Su Chengyi turned around and saw that the long table had been set up, everyone had taken their seats, 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 his hand to hand her a tissue.

When Brother Da Fei saw that everyone was seated, he habitually wanted to make some opening remarks, so he raised his glass and said:
"We have some new friends here today, it's really exciting!" In fact, they usually blow on bottles, and today they used cups because of the respect of these new friends.

Brother Xiaofei 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:
"Eat well and drink well! Let me have a drink first!"

Then he raised his head and drank all the beer in the cup. He set an example. Except for Uncle Gao and Yang Liu who were about to drive, everyone else followed suit and drank a beer.

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 his cup. Although he wasn't a good drinker, a few glasses would definitely be fine.

Han Bing just happened to eat the chili pepper, picked up the cup and took a big sip, and his facial features suddenly wrinkled.

"It's so hard to drink!"

Xu Yang looked at her expression and almost lost his breath with laughter.

"You haven't even had a beer! You're too weak!"

"Is drinking alcohol something worthy of showing off? Childish!"

Lin Zhiwan had already poured Han Bing a glass of water, and she drank back while drinking.

"if not?"

Xu Yang raised his wine glass proudly,
"Come on, Mr. Yi, let's have a drink."

Su Chengyi cooperatively picked up the cup 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.

There is noisy food stalls at night, 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 her head, how could her family let her come to a place like this to eat.

After finishing 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 was fair, and she was already a little red after drinking a little wine, which was even more obvious under the red light of the charcoal fire. She was as delicate and childish as a porcelain doll.

From the looks of it, he probably hasn’t had much contact with alcohol, and he will get drunk if he drinks again.

The adults at the other table were chatting 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 pointing out 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 arms.

"My hometown is from a small village in the northwest. If you tell me, no one will know. When I was 15 years old, I came to Tang'an City to work alone. As soon as I got off the train, all my money was stolen! It was my parents who stole it. You saved it for me over the past six months, and I didn’t hide it from everyone, but I just wanted to jump off the train track and die.”

When Brother Xiaofei said this, he smiled mockingly.

"Don't look at my poor health now. When I was 15 years old, I was even more exaggerated. I was just like a bean sprout. No one asked me to move bricks on the construction site, so I could only pick up rags. I didn't expect that people would There are rules for picking up rags, and who owns this piece and who owns 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 around him, and he came up to help. It was almost like He saved my life. It was also because he vouched for me that I got a job on the construction site."

This was the first time that Chu Qingmian knew that picking up rags was risky, and that it had to be fought over. She couldn't help but be a little shocked.
