Chapter 172 Brother Qian’s Habit
Taking out the key as he walked, Zhang Yuan opened the gate of the courtyard in Pi Tiao Hutong.
"Brother Qian, I'm back!"
As usual, Zhang Yuan shouted loudly after entering the room.
He greeted Brother Qian in advance and said he would be back today.
However, what is different from the past is that the plants and trees in the yard are still there, but the people and things have changed.
"Brother Qian..."
In the center of the yard, there was no familiar figure of the old imperial man wearing a white cross-bar vest and big shorts.
Instead, there was a young female figure standing there gracefully.
When the other party heard the voice, he turned towards him, then nodded shyly with a cautious smile.
She has waist-length hair, a small round face and some baby fat.
When he smiled, two rows of neat teeth were revealed.
She has willow-shaped eyebrows, almond-shaped eyes, and a timid look in her eyes, like a newborn fawn.
Upon seeing this, Zhang Yuan immediately narrowed his eyes and looked carefully.
After repeatedly confirming that everything was correct, he smiled kindly.
Others may not know it, but he knows it very well.
This woman is half of the Chinese crosstalk world and the woman that Mr. Guo loves the most. She leads a varied life in crosstalk and is a key figure in the revival of Chinese crosstalk... Mrs. Qian!
Just as Mr. Guo said, the moment I saw my sister-in-law, I knew that I had made friends with Brother Qian...
"Brother, you're back!"
He was just about to go up and say hello when Yu Qian, wearing casual clothes and an apron tied around his chest, ran out of the kitchen with his homemade cold dish in his hand.
"You came back at the perfect time. The food will be ready soon. Come sit down and chat for a while."
Brother Qian wiped his hands on his apron and wiped off the moisture: "By the way, this is my girlfriend, Bai Huiming."
"This is my roommate Zhang Yuan. I've already mentioned this to you."
"Hello, Mrs. Qian!" Zhang Yuan raised his arm and waved.
Upon hearing this name, the other party covered his mouth in shame and his face turned red.
Brother Qian was just the opposite. After hearing this title, he smiled with satisfaction.
"You two just sit down, I'll take care of it."
After saying that, Brother Qian returned to his favorite kitchen, leaving only the two of them sitting on the lounge chairs in the yard.
Yu Qian was born in 69, while Bai Huiming was born in 79, exactly ten years apart in age.
At this moment, Mrs. Qian is only a few years older than Zhang Yuan. So, Brother Qian is like an old cow eating young grass.
"What Teacher Guo said is indeed right. My sister-in-law is so fair..." Zhang Yuan said in his heart.
"Qian often mentions you." Bai Huiming said shyly, "He said you are handsome, ambitious, and a very authentic friend."
I've only been in the capital for over a year, and I've already become an authentic person?
Zhang Yuan quickly replied: "Brother Qian is the one who makes friends, and he is also very handsome."
"Your eyesight is not good?" Bai Huiming asked doubtfully.
Zhang Yuan: …
She is so good at dealing with her man, no wonder she lives a happy life in the future.
"I want to ask you one more thing." Bai Huiming moved closer: "Qian said that he rarely drinks and smokes, and he only does it for social occasions. Is that true?"
How to say it, Zhang Yuan felt that this body named Yu Qian was actually just a carrier, and cigarettes and alcohol were Brother Qian's real body.
Several times, the neighbors next door banged on the door, suspecting that we had set up a barbecue stall in the yard, but when they came in, they saw only Brother Qian smoking.
"Brother Qian is willing to tell such a lie to deceive a girl."
Zhang Yuan said with contempt in his heart.
But I can't expose it, so I can only go along with it.
"Yes, he only drinks and smokes a little."
As the two chatted, Zhang Yuan discovered that Mrs. Qian, like Brother Qian, was a very cheerful and informal person.
As the saying goes, every object has its owner. Crickets are found only in saline-alkali land. This couple is really a perfect match.
Ding ding ding...the sound of a cell phone interrupted their conversation.
Zhang Yuan took out his cell phone and saw the caller was Cheng Hao, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.
"I just happened to be passing by your house. Are you home?" A gentle and familiar voice came from the receiver.
"Yes, let's have a meal together."
Zhang Yuan could guess that Cheng Hao was a relatively introverted person. When she said she was just passing by, it didn't necessarily mean she was just passing by. It was very likely that she wanted to come but was afraid of being rejected, so she made up an excuse on purpose.
"Well, I'll be there in a moment." Her voice was obviously much cheerfuler.
About half an hour later, there was a knock on the door outside the yard.
Zhang Yuan stood up and opened the door, and saw the pretty figure wearing a white floral dress and a high ponytail.
"Come in, there are a lot of people here today, I'll introduce you."
"You are... a heartthrob!" As soon as the two of them moved, Mrs. Qian's exclamation was heard.
"Sex and the City" has been broadcast on TV, and Cheng Hao, as one of the female protagonists, has naturally become very famous.
"Hello." Cheng Hao responded with a generous smile.
At that time, Yu Qian was not yet famous and did not have so many celebrity friends around him.
Bai Huiming had naturally never seen any big stars, so of course she was surprised.
"Can you, can you sign an autograph for me?" Mrs. Qian jumped excitedly.
"Of course, just tell me what you want to write."
Cheng Hao knew that the people here must be Zhang Yuan’s friends, so he gave them full face.
"Paper and pen..." Mrs. Qian was so excited that she couldn't find anything to sign.
"I have it." Zhang Yuan said.
"I'll get it." Cheng Hao took the initiative to walk towards Zhang Yuan's room. After all, it was inappropriate to let other women enter his room.
It would not be appropriate for Zhang Yuan to leave and leave two strangers behind.
So Cheng Hao went there in person.
"There's a notebook and a pen in my bag. Just tear off a page." Zhang Yuan shouted.
Then he smiled and asked Mrs. Qian to sit down and wait.
But the moment his butt touched the recliner, he felt an electric current rushing from his anus straight to his forehead.
"Fuck!"
Zhang Yuan suddenly realized that after he got home, he just threw his bag into the room and ignored it.
But there was also a "signature" from Fan Bingbing in the bag!
die, die, die...
He jumped up from the recliner with a somersault, which scared Mrs. Qian who was standing beside him.
I took two steps at a time and ran so fast even when I was about to have diarrhea after eating Brother Qian’s cold dish!
He rushed into the house and jumped over the threshold. His movements were faster than Liu Xiang's.
Then, he saw a terrifying scene.
Cheng Hao in front of him stood in front of him with one hand on his waist.
At this moment, the heartthrob's eyebrows were raised, and the anger between his brows was enough to light a cigarette for Brother Qian.
His lips were pursed tightly, as if he was suppressing more than 30,000 swear words from coming out of his mouth.
Her other arm was slightly raised, and on the tip of her index finger was hooked a pink-green women's underwear strap.
"Hey, actually this is a little gift I prepared for you." Zhang Yuan opened his mouth and said: "Surprise!"
"It's obviously not my size. Give me another excuse." Cheng Hao didn't move at all, just raised his chin.
"Uh, actually this is a prop from the crew. I brought it back."
"It's better than the previous one, but still not perfect. Change it." Cheng Hao stared into his eyes.
Zhang Yuan's brain cells were working so fast that it was as crowded as the North Second Ring Road at 5:30 in the afternoon.
Finally, he gritted his teeth, stomped his feet, and took off his wisdom!
Damn it, I'd rather my friend die than let me die!
"Oh..." Zhang Yuan sighed heavily and used up all the acting points he had gained in his life to bring his abilities to the extreme!
"Actually, I shouldn't have said it, but now that things have come to this, I can only tell the truth."
"Hmph!" Cheng Hao snorted, "Tell me, I love to hear you brag."
"You see this fair-skinned girl outside with a sweet smile."
"That's my roommate's girlfriend. They are almost getting married." Zhang Yuan said, taking out a cigarette and holding it to his lips.
"But as a man, there is always a woman in my heart that I can't let go of."
"His girlfriend came to visit today, and he hid this thing with me because he was afraid of being discovered."
"What!"
Before Zhang Yuan finished speaking, he heard two exclamations from behind.
When Mrs. Qian saw him rushing into the house in a hurry, she called Brother Qian over to ask him.
When the two of them came to investigate, Zhang Yuan happened to be talking about this. "Qian, I didn't expect you to be this kind of person!" Qian's wife's face fell and she was about to cry.
Yu Qian: !!!
Mrs. Qian is still naive, which makes Zhang Yuan feel a little bit amused and helpless.
"Please explain it to me clearly!" Brother Qian shouted hurriedly.
Zhang Yuan looked at Mrs. Qian, then at Cheng Hao, one wanted to cry, the other wanted to scold.
Take off again!
"Don't worry, sister-in-law. How could Brother Qian cheat on his wife? He is the most honest man I have ever met."
"Oh, that's right." Brother Qian said with satisfaction.
"So what does this mean?" Cheng Hao immediately started to attack again.
"This belongs to Brother Qian."
Yu Qian: ???
"Listen to what you said, do they make sense?" Cheng Hao was so angry that he laughed.
"Don't worry, let me make it up for a while, no, let me talk for a while." Zhang Yuan cleared his throat: "Actually, this belongs to Brother Qian, but it's his own."
"This is Qian's little hobby. He likes to play with himself."
Yu Qian: !!!
Mrs. Qian:!!!
Cheng Hao: !!!
"Qian, I didn't expect you to be such a person!" Qian's wife said again,
"I never thought I was such a person." Brother Qian spread his hands and said.
“Hahahaha…” At this moment, Cheng Hao suddenly laughed: “This is a trap we set up on purpose, just to tease you and liven up the atmosphere.”
Zhang Yuan opened his mouth and quickly responded, "Yes, yes, yes!"
"Oh, is that so? You scared me." Mrs. Qian immediately smiled heartlessly.
Brother Qian is really lucky. Such a simple woman is hard to find even with a lantern nowadays.
"The show is over, let's go to the yard to eat." Brother Qian was not that stupid. He probably guessed the reason and took his girlfriend away.
After the two left, Zhang Yuan closed the door and did not dare to turn around for a long time.
In the end, Cheng Hao had to help him out, which made him feel even more guilty.
"Let me tell you the truth." Zhang Yuan pulled the other person to the bed and sat steadily on the edge of the bed.
"Yeah." Cheng Hao just replied indifferently.
"A few days ago, I went to the crew of director Feng Xiaogang and played a cameo role for a few days."
When Cheng Hao heard the name Feng Xiaogang, he looked up curiously, feeling a little secretly happy.
It was a secret joy for him.
But it was quickly suppressed.
"I met a lot of people on the set, both men and women."
"I helped one of them a little bit, and she signed her underwear as a prank and threw it to me when she left."
"If you don't believe me, look inside. There's a name on it."
It was almost evening and the light in the house was dim. Cheng Hao was numb when he saw the underwear and didn't study it carefully.
Now looking back, there is indeed a signature written in a flamboyant style.
"Is there anyone in your crew named Shit Pee Pee?" Cheng Hao read in confusion.
Zhang Yuan: …
Fan Ye, you should practice calligraphy when you have the chance, seriously.
At this moment, he suddenly remembered that after leaving Huayi, Fan Bingbing would jump to Orange Sky Entertainment and become the new number one star of Orange Sky.
The number one sister of Chengtian at this time is the one next to him.
The older sister is holding the younger sister's underwear, a world famous painting.
"You're mistaken. It's Fan Bingbing."
When Cheng Hao heard these three words, he immediately widened his eyes and raised his head, and at the same time a trace of sadness arose in his heart.
If it were an ordinary person...not to mention ordinary people, even if it was an ordinary actress, she would be no less capable.
She is not afraid of Liu Tao, Jiang Xin and other Tianlong actresses. Even Liu Qianqian is just a little girl who has not grown up in her eyes.
Instead, it was Shu Chang from the same crew who made her feel a sense of crisis.
But this crisis does not come from appearance, but from acting talent and aura.
This little girl is so smart!
There is drama in his eyes.
But Fan Bingbing is completely different!
If the opponent was her, Cheng Hao would feel a little weak.
"Did you...sleep with her?"
"Sleep."
Tears welled up in Cheng Hao's eyes.
“But I didn’t sleep.”
Cheng Hao tilted his head and looked at him with a frown.
What is Schrödinger's sleep?
"One day there was a crew party and I was drunk, so she helped me to her room to sleep for the night, so I slept with her."
"But I just slept, not her, so I didn't sleep."
Seeing that Zhang Yuan explained in such detail, Cheng Hao believed it about 70%.
If a bitch likes my man, it means my man is excellent.
Judging from her appearance, she is a vixen. Bah, so shameless!
"Is uncle feeling better?" Zhang Yuan asked.
"Much better. I can get out of bed and walk." Cheng Hao's heart softened when he heard him asking about his father.
"The doctor said that the treatment was timely and the results were very good, thanks to the money you lent me."
"Let's not talk about it." He waved his hand.
"Let's go eat."
“Yeah.” Cheng Hao stuffed your pink and green underwear back into his bag, and then rubbed his palm hard on his shoulder to show his dissatisfaction.
Well, she is a gentle person after all, and she didn't even curse.
They changed their headgear and put on a smiling face. Since they were both actors, this was not a difficult task. They walked towards the dining table in the yard.
"Is this what you two usually eat?" Soon, Mrs. Qian tasted Brother Qian's cold dish and asked with a twitching mouth.
"Isn't this great?"
"Yes, it's a delicacy."
Zhang Yuan and Yu Qian responded.
Bai Huiming and Cheng Hao looked at each other and thought, there must be something wrong with their tongues!
"It's just the right opportunity today." Brother Qian raised his glass: "Everyone, look at me, I have something to announce!"
"I'm planning to marry Huiming!"
"Congratulations!" Zhang Yuan and Cheng Hao immediately raised their glasses to congratulate.
"Not so soon, but just for a few months. After the wedding, we don't plan to continue living here."
"I have saved some money over the years and plan to buy a house."
"I feel lonely now that you're gone." Zhang Yuan suddenly felt a little empty.
"But it just so happens that I have saved some money and plan to buy a house, just like us."
"It's different." Brother Qian shook his cheeks: "I have been saving for more than ten years, and you have only saved for more than a year. I can't compare with you."
"Brother Qian, do you know the owner of the house we live in?"
"Of course I know him. I contacted him a few days ago and wanted to transfer the lease to you." Brother Qian took a sip of wine.
"Tsk, but there is a small problem. The landlord seems to be planning to go abroad and wants to sell the house. You should also keep an eye out for other houses recently."
"Then what's there to pay attention to!" Zhang Yuan thought to himself, this is just right, everything fits perfectly!
"Why don't I just buy this one? I'm used to living here anyway, and you two can come and visit again when you have the chance. You'll be familiar with the place."
"Shh, sure. I'll find time to contact him for you, but..." Brother Qian hesitated and said, "This landlord is a bit eccentric and difficult to deal with."
"Just give it a try, what if it works?"
"Okay, as long as you like." Brother Qian drank with him: "By the way, there is one more thing, Mr. Yuan Kuocheng came to Deyuan Society again."
"You've come here twice, old man. I don't know why you're in such a hurry."
"Oh, then I have to pay him a return visit as he is my senior!" Zhang Yuan said respectfully.
"I'll make an appointment for you, go as soon as possible."
They talked and ate at the same time. He and Brother Qian ate more, while the two women hardly moved their chopsticks, just keeping them company.
After eating and drinking, Zhang Yuan asked tentatively.
"Good sister, it's over now. There's no bus for you to go home, right?"
Cheng Hao rolled her eyes at him coquettishly: "I can take a taxi back."
“It’s a waste of money and inappropriate.”
"Just stay here, we have big houses here." Brother Qian quickly advised.
In this way, Mrs. Qian and Cheng Hao both stayed in the small courtyard tonight.
After washing up, take off your shoes and get on the kang!
Zhang Yuan performed a set of Shaolin Kung Fu in the yard to activate his blood circulation, after all, there was going to be a fierce battle next!
After his muscles were thoroughly stretched, he was about to go back to the house to talk to Cheng Hao about tunnel excavation and monthly water flow.
But at this very inopportune moment, the cell phone rang.
When I picked it up, I saw that the caller was a girl I hadn't seen for a long time.
Sing Shu!
