Starting out as a drug dealer in 1988

"Or, I'd better run around the village."

Gu Qiang's face flushed red. He was really embarrassed to continue singing, especially with these people making a fuss.

"Hey, hey, I asked you to run around the village just now, but you didn't want to. Now it's too late! Hahahaha..."

Zhao Dagou clapped his hands on his thighs and laughed heartily.

"There is a girl in the village named..." Gu Qiang just started talking when he was interrupted again.

"Speak louder, we still can't hear you." someone shouted.

Gu Qiang looked embarrassed and said stubbornly, "Can you guys be quiet for a moment? I'm singing right now."

"Then why don't you sing? Don't just talk and do it!" Zhao Dagou urged.

Gu Qiang sighed helplessly and could only go all out, singing loudly: "There is a girl named Xiaofang in the village, she is pretty and kind..."

Although he was still out of tune, this time Gu Qiang really gave it his all. He just stared at the lyrics without looking at anyone else and finally finished singing in one breath.

"call……"

Gu Qiang breathed a sigh of relief, his heart pounding. He felt like he had just experienced a nightmare and it was finally over.

"Haha, good, good singing!"

Zhao Dagou took the lead in applauding, and others followed suit.

Gu Qiang smiled wryly, thinking, "You're applauding this? You guys have a really unique aesthetic!"

But he also knew that everyone just wanted to embarrass him and didn't really want to hear him sing.

Gu Qiang felt relieved and wanted to go into the house quickly. He secretly swore in his heart that he would never sing in front of others again.

"uh-huh!"

Zhao Mingliang coughed deliberately and stood up again.

I saw that he was holding a bowl of unknown substance in his hand. The liquid in the bowl was red, white, green and black, mixed together, giving off a strange smell that made people feel nauseous at the sight of it.

But Zhao Mingliang said with a sly smile, "Brother Qiang is really awesome. We won't make things difficult for you in the third round."

After hearing this, Gu Qiang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he had finally passed. However, he still pretended to be very grateful and said to Zhao Mingliang: "Thank you, brother. I'll go in now?"

As he said this, he couldn't wait to rush into the compartment.

However, at this moment, Zhao Dagou and Zhao Mingliang suddenly blocked his way.

Gu Qiang was stunned and asked in confusion: "What's going on? Didn't it pass?"

Zhao Mingliang explained with a smile, "Don't worry, Brother Qiang. There's a small ceremony before you go in. You need to finish this drink specially made for you. This is carefully prepared by all of us for you, and it contains our best wishes for you, so please drink it all in one gulp."

After saying that, Zhao Mingliang handed the bowl of disgusting drink to Gu Qiang.

There was a sly smile on his face, which made people wonder what was in the bowl.

"What is this? Why does it look colorful and there is sediment underneath? What is it?" someone asked curiously.

Another person speculated with a smile: "It's definitely not a good thing. Mingliang must be up to no good, hahaha..."

"I don't know about the other ingredients, but it must contain chili powder and soy sauce." Someone else said confidently.

……

The onlookers were talking about it, pointing and talking, their eyes full of anticipation and curiosity, obviously waiting for Gu Qiang's good show to begin.

Gu Qiang took the bowl, put his cheek close to it and sniffed it gently.

Sure enough, a complex smell hit my nose, mixed with the taste of soy sauce, chili powder and vinegar, but there seemed to be some other difficult to identify ingredients besides this.

"The last level, let's fight!"

Gu Qiang took a deep breath, glared at Zhao Mingliang sharply, and gritted his teeth in his heart.

He knew it might be uncomfortable, but in order to complete the challenge, he decided not to hesitate.

So, Gu Qiang boldly picked up the bowl and poured it into his mouth without hesitation.

Everyone stared at him nervously with wide eyes, not knowing what would happen next.

"vomit……"

"vomit……"

After three mouthfuls, just three big mouthfuls, Gu Qiang could no longer bear it. He felt as if smoke was coming out of his throat and nasal cavity.

So, vomiting became inevitable.

This is quite embarrassing, especially vomiting in front of everyone.

"Hahaha..." Everyone burst into laughter.

Zhao Wenhao didn't know what Zhao Mingliang and Zhao Dagou had put in there. Seeing this, he quickly stepped forward, patted Gu Qiang on the back, and took the big bowl.

He leaned over and smelled it, and it was indeed very pungent.

So he couldn't help but glare at Zhao Mingliang fiercely.

Unfortunately, the other person didn't care at all and was still laughing secretly over there.

Zhao Wenhao shook his head helplessly, thinking, "These two guys are really naughty! But didn't they go a bit too far this time?"

Seeing Gu Qiang in pain, he felt a little distressed.

After all, Gu Qiang is his future brother-in-law, so it's okay if it's just a minor quarrel, but if he really drinks this stuff, he might have diarrhea for three days.

At this time, Gu Qiang finally caught his breath, his face was as pale as paper, and there was still a trace of filth at the corner of his mouth.

But he couldn't get angry. Today was his big day, and he was mentally prepared to be teased.

"Okay, okay, the time is almost up. If you waste any more time, it will be too late for the auspicious time!" Zhao Wenhao stepped forward and began to help Gu Qiang out. As he spoke, he pushed aside those who still wanted to make trouble for the groom.

"Everyone, let my brother-in-law go today. We have a long way to go and there will be plenty of opportunities in the future!"

After saying that, he pulled Gu Qiang into the wing room.

Fortunately, Zhao Wenhao's words were still quite authoritative, and no one dared to continue making trouble, including Zhao Mingliang and Zhao Dagou.

Although they were somewhat unwilling, they also knew that they could not delay the auspicious time of the wedding.

So everyone made way to allow Gu Qiang and Zhao Wenhao to enter the room smoothly.

In this way, Gu Qiang finally rushed into the bridal chamber.

Of course, red envelopes and cigarettes are indispensable to pave the way.

In the room, several little girls including Zhao Wenhao's sister Zhao Wenxia were waiting inside.

The little girls all accepted the red envelopes and cigarettes with a smile, and then let Gu Qiang into the room.

The subsequent process will naturally be much easier.

In accordance with traditional customs, Gu Qiang offered tea to the bride and accepted blessings from his elders.

Then, he and his bride worshipped heaven and earth and performed a grand ceremony.

Although the whole process is simple, it is filled with a warm and happy atmosphere.

Finally, Gu Qiang and the bride walked out of the bridal chamber and came to the yard, ready to receive the guests' congratulations.

At this time, it was already noon.

Initially, Zhao Wenhao planned to arrange this lunch at a hotel in the county.

But later, at the suggestion of the elderly in the village, it was arranged directly in the square of the village committee.

There was no other way. Almost everyone in the village had come. If they had really arranged to stay in the county, there wouldn’t be such a large hotel available.

However, it wasn't like this at dinner time.

The main contributors are relatives and friends at home, as well as one person from each household in the village.
