After Qin Jingru had been reading for a while, she noticed Wang Qiang sitting at the table drinking tea.
"What's wrong? Can't you keep studying?"
"Uh-huh!"
Qin Jingru blushed as she recalled the contents of the book she had just read.
"You have a strong learning ability, keep up the good work!"
Hearing Wang Qiang's praise, Qin Jingru blushed deeply, wondering where Wang Qiang had gotten the book from; it was so embarrassing.
"Um!"
Qin Jingru responded in a voice barely audible.
"Read carefully and study hard, but you can't take this book with you!"
"oops!"
Qin Jingru covered her head with a book, not daring to look at Duan Fei.
"Alright, you stay here and do your thing. I have to go out for a bit."
"ah!"
By the time Qin Jingru peeked out from behind her book, Wang Qiang had already left. Qin Jingru stared blankly in the direction of the door, feeling a little disappointed.
Meanwhile, Wang Qiang was already sitting at Li Taohua's house, drinking wine and eating food, listening to Li Taohua sing a little tune.
"I didn't expect you could sing this, not bad!"
Hearing Wang Qiang's praise, Li Taohua blushed and said, "My parents used to make a living in this industry, but they didn't want me to do it, saying it was a low-class profession."
Wang Qiang laughed, "Whether it's high-class or low-class, it sounds good."
Li Taohua filled Wang Qiang's glass with wine. "Brother Wang, please try this. I bought it especially for you."
Wang Qiang grabbed Li Taohua's hand, the small hand she had just used to pour the wine. "Taohua, tell me the truth, is there something you want to ask of me?"
Li Taohua tried to pull her hand back but saw Wang Qiang's gaze. Remembering that she needed Wang Qiang's help, she had no choice but to let him hold her hand.
Li Taohua spoke in a low voice. "Brother Wang, it's like this. I do have something to ask of you."
Wang Qiang laughed and let go of her hand: "You're being too polite. Don't talk about begging or anything. Your brother and I are friends. If you're his sister, then you're my sister too."
Seizing the opportunity, Li Taohua quickly pulled away and knelt before Wang Qiang. "Brother, please accept my bow."
"Brother Wang, from today onwards we are brother and sister. Thank you for your kindness."
Watching Li Taohua's actions, Wang Qiang thought to himself, "I miscalculated; she's suddenly become my younger sister."
However, judging from Li Taohua's appearance, she was pretty and charming, even though she was dressed in coarse cloth.
Wang Qiang nodded. This matter wasn't urgent; they should discuss it further.
"Good sister. If you ever need anything, just tell your brother, and he will definitely help you."
Li Taohua stood up and sat opposite Wang Qiang.
"Brother Wang, it's like this, I'd like you to help me find a job. I'm currently working at a restaurant, and I only make a little over 20 yuan a month."
Wang Qiang immediately understood, so he said to her, "You're envious of your brother's job, aren't you?"
Li Taohua nodded. It was true that her brother's current job was prestigious and lucrative, but what she didn't know was that Wang Qiang had made it up.
Wang Qiang smiled and said, "That's no problem. You're my sister. If I don't help you, why would I help an outsider?"
Li Taohua was very happy to hear Wang Qiang's promise.
"Brother Wang, thank you."
Wang Qiang took a sip of wine: "It would be too formal to say thank you."
Wang Qiang reached out and scratched Li Taohua's face with his finger.
"Where do you want to work?"
"I want to work in your factory canteen. I heard the salary there is more than 30 yuan."
"Factory canteen?"
Wang Qiang put down the wine glass he had just picked up, thought for a moment, and then said...
"We'll have to wait for an opportunity. Be patient and wait."
"Thank you, Brother Wang." Li Taohua was very happy to hear this.
"Go get another wine glass, and you'll have a few drinks with me."
Faced with Wang Qiang's request, Li Taohua had no choice but to agree and get up to get the wine glass.
Seeing Li Taohua with her back to him, Wang Qiang chuckled. "Little girl, trying to play tricks on me. You know how hard it is to get a factory job these days? You think you can solve it with just 'brother'?"
"Brother Wang, I'm not very good at drinking."
"Could it be that it's only three-tenths the same?"
After drinking a few cups, I felt hotter and hotter.
"It's so hot today."
As he spoke, Wang Qiang took off his work clothes, revealing an old man's vest. His solid muscles bulged out of the vest, exuding a strong masculine aura.
"Brother Wang, I..."
Li Taohua looked at Wang Qiang at this moment. Actually, she still had feelings for Wang Qiang. She was just afraid that Wang Qiang would not be willing to help her, and in the end, all her efforts would be in vain.
"Peach Blossom, listen to me. This matter is indeed difficult, but I will definitely find a way."
Li Taohua said, "Brother Wang, I'm sorry to have put you in such a difficult position."
Wang Qiang raised his hand. "Hey, don't say that."
Before anyone knew it, the two of them had gone from sitting opposite each other to sitting side by side, with Wang Qiang holding a wine glass in his hand.
Li Taohua poured wine for Wang Qiang, making him feel a little hot from drinking. This wine was indeed a fine brew, said to be Peach Blossom White, one of the most famous wines in the capital!
Li Taohua also noticed something unusual about Wang Qiang's drinking capacity, especially how he drank glass after glass, as if it were water.
Li Taohua said softly, "Brother Wang, you should drink less. Drinking too much is bad for your health."
Wang Qiang nodded: "Okay, I'll listen to you and drink less."
"Um!"
Li Taohua also felt a bit hot from drinking, even though it wasn't his first time drinking.
"Have another drink."
"Brother Wang, I salute you."
Li Taohua picked up her wine glass, tilted her head back, and drank it all in one gulp. Wang Qiang watched her throat move and couldn't help but swallow.
"That's generous enough."
Wang Qiang picked up his wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.
The two drank for an unknown amount of time, until the bottle was empty. Looking at the empty bottle, Wang Qiang spoke.
"It seems I can't leave today. Help me to bed to rest and get some sleep."
Li Taohua was also quite drunk at this point, her face flushed. Hearing Wang Qiang's words, she swayed as she stood up.
"Brother Wang, please take it easy."
Li Taohua let Wang Qiang put his hand on her neck, while she supported Wang Qiang's waist. The two of them staggered towards the bed like this.
"Brother Wang."
It was only a few steps from here to the bed. But Wang Qiang staggered, his body swaying. For several minutes, he took one step forward and two steps back.
Wang Qiang was drunk. "Peach Blossom, I'll teach you a few new tricks."
Li Taohua, supporting Wang Qiang, barely managed to stay upright; she was actually a little drunk herself: "Mmm."
Seeing Wang Qiang's dazed and drunken state, he said, "Brother Wang..."
Wang Qiang said, "Shh, don't talk!"
"Come and see me perform a set of drunken boxing."
Wang Qiang arrived at the center of the room, his steps unsteady and swaying. He smiled at Li Taohua and said, "Watch closely, this is Drunken Fist."
"Lü Dongbin, drunk, could lift a wine pot with the strength of a thousand pounds. Tieguai Li, in a whirlwind, could kneel and strike, truly drunk. Han Zhongli, with butterfly steps, could embrace the jar and topple it. Zhang Guolao, drunk, could toss his cup and kick in a chain reaction. Han Xiangzi..."
