Extra 5: Jin Zhengtai and Gu Jingxiu
Under the open shed in the yard, a middle-aged man was cleaning farm tools. When he heard the young man's words, he turned around and asked, "Dazhu, what did you say?"
The young man named Dazhu said, "Uncle, I just came back from the fields and saw smoke coming out of your grandmother Jin's grave. I'm afraid something has caught fire. Go and have a look."
After hearing what Dazhu said, a woman wearing an apron and with a mean look came out of the kitchen. "No, Dazhu, it's a wasteland anyway, there's nothing to burn. Maybe some naughty kid set the weeds on fire. It's very dry this season, so don't worry about it."
"You guys can do whatever you want. I'll just tell you anyway."
After Dazhu finished speaking, he turned and walked out the door.
The man under the open shed put down his hoe, stood up, and shouted to the main room, "Jin Qian, go and see whose wild child is setting fire to the field again."
The door curtain was opened, and a young man with messy hair and wearing a black coat came out leisurely, muttering, "What is there to see? Didn't my mother say that there are no crops in the field, so just burn it."
"Do you understand that the grass on the grave cannot be burned carelessly? The more lush the grass is, the more prosperous we are. Do you want to get married?"
"Tsk, I didn't realize how prosperous you are. You've introduced so many wives to me, but none of them were rejected as soon as they found out about our family background."
Having said that, when it comes to the lifelong goal of marrying a wife, money still slowly flows to the grave.
When we got to the entrance of the village, we saw a cool car parked there. A group of idle villagers were commenting on the car.
The old village chief stood at the entrance of the village, looking around anxiously.
A young man wearing a locomotive hat asked, "Village head, did you see anything?"
The old village chief said, "No, this is probably not the town leader's car."
Daniel said, “Why didn’t the leader come to your house when he came?
I'm afraid this person is not visiting a relative's home?"
"Who in our village has relatives in the city?"
Jinqian walked over and looked at the luxurious car curiously.
A middle-aged man saw him and said, "Jin Qian, your grave is on fire. What are you doing? You are so lazy that you didn't go to check it out."
Qian Jin looked at the car with great interest, "What's there to see?
It's a fire, it won't burn the village."
In the cemetery, Jin Zhengtai and Gu Jingxiu finished burning the paper. Jin Zhengtai then carried the pile of weeds he had been dealing with to the edge of the ground and lit them, with black smoke billowing.
Afterwards, I went to my grandfather's grave not far away and pulled out some weeds there as well.
"Grandpa, I cooked a lot, I'll let grandma give you some later."
After taking care of the cemetery, Jin Zhengtai took Gu Jingxiu's hand, and the two of them kowtowed again solemnly, preparing to leave.
"Grandma, I'll come back to visit your grave tomorrow during the Qingming Festival."
The road to the cemetery is particularly difficult to walk on. It is winding and requires going around a ditch, which is inconvenient to pass through. Because of this, this piece of land has never been used to grow crops and has become a wasteland.
Jin Zhengtai held Gu Jingxiu's hand, and the two of them climbed up from the edge of the ditch with great effort.
Later, I suddenly encountered money coming down from above.
Jin Zhengtai and he looked into each other's eyes, and both of them were stunned.
Soon, they recognized each other instantly.
The person standing in front of him was his half-brother, Jin Qian. Jin Zhengtai frowned and looked away.
Jinqian blinked several times before he realized that the handsome man in a black coat holding the hand of a beautiful girl was his brother.
"You..." Jin Qian glanced in the direction of the graveyard and asked Jin Zhengtai, "Did you light the fire on the grave?"
Jin Zhengtai said in a cold tone, "Is there a problem?"
"You got married?"
Jin Qian looked at Gu Jingxiu and asked Jin Zhengtai in disbelief.
"Does it have anything to do with you?"
Jin Zhengtai held Gu Jingxiu's hand, and the two of them walked past him and headed towards the village entrance.
Jinqian turned around and quickly followed.
What surprised him was why Jin Zhengtai had changed so much?
I was a wimp because I got beaten so many times by him when I was a kid.
Now I am wearing such nice clothes, just like when I came back from Shanghai.
And the girl he was holding hands with was so pretty.
Jin Zhengtai and Gu Jingxiu were walking in front, but because the path was too narrow, Jinqian could not follow them and could only follow behind them.
He asked curiously, "Where have you been all these years? There's been no news from you. We all thought you were out."
