Night, rooftop.

Empty beer bottles rolled on the floor, and dozens of extremely bald cigarette butts formed a chaotic circle.

Zhang Huofeng sat on the ground, crying and laughing at the same time, looking like he was crazy.

Liu Shaogang and Feng Wentao watched from the door, not knowing how to comfort him.

Qin Miao walked up the stairs slowly and patted Liu Shaogang on the shoulder.

Then she made a move and turned to look at Liu Shaogang.

"Boss." Liu Shaogang lowered his head slightly and greeted in a low voice.

"Yes." Qin Miao stopped looking at him and went straight to the rooftop to stand next to Zhang Huofeng.

Qin Miao specially wore a windbreaker. The knee-length garment had two large pockets on the side.

She took out a bottle of liquor from her pocket and handed it to Zhang Huofeng:

"I heard that you have a good drinking capacity. Liu Shaogang didn't save a few bottles of beer in total, but he can't stand you drinking like this."

Zhang Huofeng's raised hand froze, and then he smiled to himself.

"Thank you." He put the beer can on the ground and reached out to take the white wine handed over by Qin Miao.

He took two gulps and seemed to be choked to tears.

He coughed twice, his face turned red, but he couldn't stop crying.

"Boss..." His voice was a little hoarse, and he beat his chest hard with his other hand: "My heart really hurts..."

The thumping sound was particularly loud in the silent night, but he seemed to be unaware of the pain, and beat harder every time.

As his name suggests, Zhang Huofeng has always been a fiery person.

He laughed and cursed, and was careless. He didn't take many things to heart, and he wasn't as thoughtful as Liu Shaogang.

The last time I saw him lose his composure was the day Qin Huaiqin died trying to save Xiao Mo.

Qin Miao's red lips pursed tightly, and after a long while she quietly said: "Can you talk to me?"

She knew that Zhang Huofeng must have had some extremely painful experience before he cared for women and children in this way and sympathized with their suffering.

Zhang Huofeng probably drank too much just now and was a little drunk.

Qin Miao originally just asked casually, but he really started to talk:

"Boss, don't look at my current virtues, Lao Zhang... I, I did have a wife."

When he talked about the one he loved, his eyes gradually blurred, and a happy smile appeared on his lips.

"My wife... is so beautiful! She is famous for her beauty from all over the country!"

"But she only likes me, haha, so all those boys will envy me."

His tone was a little proud, but more confused and sad: "Me, it's really nothing... I don't have much ability, but, she doesn't dislike me."

"I originally thought... that when I came to the city, I could make more money and prevent her from being... laughed at. She was the wrong person."

"But..."

In Zhang Huofeng's crying and laughing narration, Qin Miao learned about his past.

Zhang Huofeng and his wife Zhang Xidi were born in the same village. Everyone in the village was named Zhang and they were all from the same clan.

The short house of Zhang Huofeng's family is close to the yard of Zhang Xidi's family, and the two have known each other since childhood.

There is only one school in the three surrounding villages, in Wangjia Village next door.

The old man from Wangjia Village passed the village examination a few years ago and stayed in the city for several years. His family encouraged him so much that they followed him to the city to enjoy the blessings, but they didn't know why he returned to the village.

After several twists and turns, the old gentleman started teaching in the village and gained a lot of income.

But there is only one teacher in three villages. Even if Shu Xiu takes in more people, there is still no shortage of students.

Zhang Huofeng's family conditions were not good, so he was raised alone at home and was not allowed to study.

He has an older brother above him and a younger brother below him. He is stuck in the middle, neither above nor below. His father does not care for his mother and he does not love his mother. It is most embarrassing.

But Zhang Xidi is different.

Her family was already in good condition, and she had no worries about food and drink.

And she has three sisters above her and one brother below her.

Her name is Xi Di, and her family was originally a desperate move without hope. Her parents had originally thought that if they gave birth to a daughter in the last child, they would call her Katsuo.

Unexpectedly, I actually gave birth to a big fat boy.

The younger son has been very fond of his youngest sister since he was a child. When he was a baby, he cried so loudly that no one could coax her. However, Zhang Xidi would hug her and the little one would laugh.

Zhang Xidi's parents felt that this daughter was blessed because she had really brought a son to their family to inherit their family's legacy.

Therefore, I feel particularly partial to Zhang Xidi.

When she was seven or eight years old and old enough to go to school, her family let her go to school. They said the younger son was clinging to his elder sister and asked her to come back after learning knowledge every day to enlighten her younger brother.

It's quite a long journey from Zhangjiacun to Wangjiacun, and it takes more than two hours to walk.

Zhang Xidi has been pampered by her family since she was a child. She doesn't have to work in the fields. She is fairer than other girls in the village. She is good-looking, with big eyes and bright hair. She is already very eye-catching at the age of seven or eight.

Zhangjiacun is all of the same clan, so naturally there are no such crooked people, but there are some in Wangjiacun and Lijiacun.

There are often gangsters blocking Zhang Xidi's way to school, grabbing her long braids and throwing grasshoppers at her. This is the way a little boy expresses his affection, ignorant and stupid.

Zhang Xidi became less and less afraid to study, and often secretly squatted in the corner and shed tears.

Zhang Huofeng was already the king of children at that time. When he found out about this, he was very angry. He immediately told her to go to school and he would pick her up every day from now on.

The four-hour round trip took him ten years.

Zhang Huofeng grew up from the king of children to a well-known gangster from all over the country, and no one in the three nearby villages had any ideas about Zhang Xidi.

Zhang Xidi had the best grades in the school, which made her younger brother also interested in studying. Her parents married off the first three girls early and continued to support the two siblings in their studies.

Until Zhang Xidi was admitted to a university in the city.

This is the first child in Zhangjiacun who can go to school in the city, and the family is very lively with gongs and drums.

Those who came to discuss marriage secretly were rejected by Zhang Xidi one by one.

Her parents were not stupid either. They felt that there were many better men in the city, so they let her go.

On the day he entered the city, Zhang Huofeng also secretly bought a ticket. When he got on the bus, he grinned proudly. He was even happier than he had been admitted to the city himself.

"I knew you were the best. Don't be afraid. I will support you in school from now on and I won't let anyone bully you."

A young man's promise can be worth ten thousand gold.

Some roommates and classmates once ridiculed Zhang Xidi for finding a bumpkin who moved bricks, and there were also well-off boys pursuing her.

But she didn't listen.

He is obviously a soft-tempered person, but whenever someone says something bad about Zhang Huofeng, he would yell back with his hands on his hips.
