63. Tomb

For many ordinary villagers, going to court to sue is a very terrible thing. After hearing this, Hua Chengzhong and his wife were frightened to death.

They suddenly remembered many old things and became anxious and didn't know what to do.

The other villagers who watched the fun slowly came to the scene. Everyone in the village knew how Hua Chengzhong and his wife treated Jin Wazi. Just now, Hua Chengzhong was asking for Hua Lao San’s homestead and land, but Jin Wazi heard it and saw it in her heart. How could she have no idea?

How old was Jin Wazi when she left Huajiagou? A seventeen-year-old girl was working hard outside with nothing, without any relatives or support, and had no one to complain. Now she finally made a fortune and developed. She must have resentment towards Hua Chengzhong and his wife.

"Uncle Chengzhong, you and your aunt go back and rest first." Secretary Hua's son was so scared that his face turned pale when he saw the couple. He didn't dare to say a word. He stepped forward and whispered to the couple, "Don't let outsiders laugh."

Hua Chengzhong then came to his senses, glared at everyone watching the fun, and pulled his wife to run home hurriedly.

"Oh, he has a pretty bad temper." The village woman who was yelled by Hua Chengzhong just now was frightened by Hua Chengzhong and said with a high voice, "Isn't he just because he gave birth to two children at the front of the house and speaking louder than others. At that time, he wanted to marry Jin Jin to an old bachelor, but because he wanted to save money for his eldest son. So as a person, don't do unethical things, you will be punished."

"Jin Jin has been outside these years and has made a fortune. I see that the men who followed her just now look like bodyguards."

"If I were her, I had an uncle like Hua Chengzhong, and I would have to take a bodyguard when I went home. What if I locked someone up in the house and forced her to get married?"

Everyone was talking, some were moved, some were curious, but when it came to those things back then, everyone would scold Hua Chengzhong for being unauthentic. The villagers have not had a good relationship with Hua Chengzhong's family over the years, but because Hua Chengzhong has two sons with a bad temper, they would fight with others if they had a disagreement. Everyone was tempted to be unable to provoke him and could not hide.

Now that he sees that his family may be in trouble, everyone is secretly applauding, who would like the village tyrant?

"The land in our Jiu Village is fertile, and the vegetables and fruits grown are also good." Secretary Hua introduced some of the current situation in Jiu Village. Pei Yan looked at the high heels on Dajin's feet, turned around and looked at the breakthrough in front of him that was not easy to walk. He carried her to a stone and stood up, walked to her and pointed at her back: "Come up."

"You support me, I can leave well." Hua Jin looked around and saw a few children and old people looking here. Secretary Hua saw that they suddenly stopped leaving, and he looked over in confusion.

"What are you going to help? Here is a bumpy pit. What if you fall to your knee?" Pei Yan carried her on his back without saying a word, "When I get to the flat ground, I will put you down."

Hua Jin looked at the shocked look of Secretary Yingdao, silently buried her head behind Pei Yan's neck, slowly stretched out her hand, and wrapped it around Pei Yan's neck.

"This is an economic fruit forest planned by the town's technicians. It has started to bear fruit in recent years." Secretary Hua turned his head and thought that he had not seen the intimacy between Pei Yan and Hua Jin. He was old and did not understand the way couples get along with each other in the city.

Walking through the dirt slope and coming to the relatively flat path, Pei Yan put down Hua Jin and held Hua Jin's hand and asked, "Sorry, Hua Hua was injured in her knee a few years ago and could not walk the rugged mountain road. I hope everyone doesn't mind my behavior."

Most of the staff in the village office were from Jiu Village. When he heard that Hua Jin had been injured in his foot, he couldn't help but look at Hua Jin a few more times. Secretary Hua couldn't help but say, "How could he be injured? Is it serious?"

"It's very serious. I almost lost my life back then." Pei Yan looked calm, "Huahua was lucky back then and survived it, but she still left her old disease. As long as it rains, her legs will hurt."

Everyone was silent. The flowers and brocades changed so much over the years. They must have suffered a lot in places they didn’t know.

"In recent years, Huahua has been thinking about the people who have taken care of her in the village, so we came back and made some contribution to the development of the village." Pei Yan looked at everyone's faces, "Although there were many unpleasant things happening here back then, Huahua still wanted everyone to live a better life. I respect her ideas, so I came here with her."

Everyone recalled the past when Hua Jin lived in this village. Because she was a girl when she was born, she was disliked by her grandmother. Fortunately, she was the first child. Although her grandparents and parents were not happy, they were not sent away.

Later, with the birth of her younger brother, Hua Jin's life became more and more difficult. When she was only six or seven years old, she had to carry a small bamboo basket to cut pig grass and help her family do things. Fortunately, she was successful and had good grades. Every time Hua Chengmin couple went to a parent-teacher meeting, they would be praised by the teacher.

Hua Jin's mother is a very face-loving woman. Because Hua Jin's grades are good, several villages praised her, so Hua Jin was not embarrassed when studying and studying. Unfortunately, this good luck ended after the couple died unexpectedly.

Nearly eight years have passed, and whenever the college entrance examination is about to take the college entrance examination, someone in the village will sigh, if Hua Jinjin could take the college entrance examination, he would definitely be able to get into a very good university.

It’s a pity that everything is fine. Looking at Hua Jin standing in front of them now, the elders in the village blushed a little.

Pei Yan was not ready to stop: "I heard that Hua Chengzhong and his family are very domineering in the village. The superiors have long issued instructions for such village tyrants. They must crack down on village tyrants and give the people a peaceful life."

Secretary Hua trembled in his heart when he heard this, and met Pei Yan's calm eyes. The young man's eyes were too sharp, and he almost didn't dare to look at him: "Mr. Pei is right, and what he does not do well needs to be improved."

Pei Yan didn't say anything more. He turned to look at Hua Jin: "Where is your land?"

Hua Jin looked around and pointed to a paddy field under the fish pond: "That field seems to belong to my family, right?" She looked at Secretary Dazzled.

"Yes, this field belongs to your family." Secretary Hua nodded, and the group walked to the edge of the fish pond and found that there were still grain piles in the paddy field. Obviously, this field has been used by people, and the rice in the field was cut off not long ago.

The people in the village office were a little embarrassed. Although it was better to have some people planted it if they were deserted, the old rule in the village was to say hello to the owner by planting land that others would not use for the time being.

Hua Jin noticed the embarrassment of the villagers, but she just pretended not to see it: "Is the rain enough in the past few years?"

"The rain was too much, which affected the rice harvest some time ago. Fortunately, the drainage ditches here were well made and the crops were not affected too much. The melon fields by the river were suffering." Speaking of the recent rain problem, Secretary Hua's sense of embarrassment was much removed, and finally there was a topic to talk about.

It's strange that Hua Jin was clearly what they saw growing up back then, but now everyone feels uncomfortable in front of her. Perhaps it's because Hua Jin was locked up by Hua Chengzhong, so they felt guilty because they didn't help her. Or maybe Hua Jin is too developed now, and their village has given her benefits in vain, but she can't help her too much, so I feel a little embarrassed.

But no matter why, they knew very well that the flowers and brocades are no longer the flowers and golden gold of the past.

The lunch was eaten at Secretary Hua's house. Hua Jin looked at the table full of farm dishes and thanked Secretary Hua's family. She sat down to eat. Halfway through the meal, Hua Chengguo brought two pieces of smoked bacon and put them in front of assistant Pei Yan, turned around and prepared to leave.

"Second uncle." Hua Jin called Hua Chengguo, "Let's have something together."

"No, your second mother has cooked the meal at home, I'll go back and eat it." Facing Hua Jin, Hua Chengguo felt a little guilty. He rubbed his hands back and forth several times on the edge of his pants. "I remember when you were a child, you liked to eat bacon and stew dried vegetables. This year, there was a lot of rain and the dried vegetables became moldy. There were only two pieces of bacon left. You can take it back and eat it."

Hua Jin glanced at the assistant's feet and the bacon filled with plastic bags: "Thank you, uncle."

Hua Chengguo's lips moved and he didn't say anything more. Back then, his family was poor and Hua Jin could not take the college entrance examination. Although he did not participate, he had never helped her. Now that she is developed, he has no shame to catch up with relatives.

"Then, then you'll be fine in the future." Hua Chengguo secretly glanced at Pei Yan who followed Hua Jin, "If you have time in the future, come back and have a look."

After saying everything he could say, Hua Chengguo hurriedly walked away along the path he came.

Hua Jin stood at the door, watching Hua Chengguo's back getting farther and farther away, and his expression was a little dazed.

"Hua Xiaojin." Pei Yan gently held her hand, "Let's go, I'll accompany you back for dinner."

Hua Jin stared at Pei Yan in a daze and slowly smiled.

Standing here today, she realized with great clarity that she was actually a person without relatives. She had lived in Huajiagou for more than ten years and was so familiar with every grass and tree here that she could walk with her eyes closed. However, after eight years, the once familiar roads, familiar waters, and even familiar people have changed.

After lunch, Hua Jin took out a pair of flat shoes from the car and replaced them, took out the fragrant wax ingots and other items that had been prepared, and went to visit her grandmother's grave.

After walking behind Secretary Hua for a long time, I finally arrived at my grandmother's tomb. The tomb was very simple, and the tomb was simply piled up with stones, and the surroundings were covered with lush weeds.

Looking down at the grass that had grown above the knee, Hua Jin bent down, took the sickle in Secretary Hua's hand, and cut it silently.

"I'll do it." Pei Yan held Hua Jin's wrist, "The first time I saw my grandmother, I asked me to show my diligence in front of her so that she could know that I am sincere to you."

Hua Jin blinked his slightly red eyes and handed him the sickle: "Then you should be kind."

It had just rained a few days ago and the weather was a little wet and hot. Pei Yan, who had never touched a sickle since she was a child, started to sweat a lot after cutting the grass. The assistants wanted to help, but he called them back.

"If I need to do this kind of thing like me, I, to be filial." Pei Yan wiped the sweat from his forehead with his elbow and grinned at Hua Jin.

Looking at his stupid look, Hua Jin couldn't help but smile, took out a handkerchief from his bag, wiped away the sweat from his face, "Be careful, don't cut your hands."

After spending an hour, he finally cleared the weeds on the grave and around him. Pei Yan cleaned up his clothes, lit an incense and candle, and then knelt down with a thud and threw the ingot into the brazier.

Hua Jin stared at his movements in a daze and knelt beside him.

Grandma, your unfilial granddaughter is back.

Hua Jin's eyelids trembled, she turned around and looked at Pei Yan. The man who was kneeling beside me was named Pei Yan. He was the best man I had ever met in my life.

You must remember his face carefully and bless him with good health, everything goes well and peace. This is the person who may become your grandson-in-law.

My granddaughter doesn’t get much preference in her life. You are the first one, and he is the second one. After you passed away, someone finally noticed what I like to eat. He put the things I like to eat in my bowl. No matter how much I eat, he thinks I eat less and don’t grow fat enough.

You also like such a boy.

Hua Jin smiled and kowtowed three times to the grave. Pei Yan also followed her and kowtowed hard.

Look, this idiot is so stupid, that's so good. For me, I came to the countryside I was not used to, and couldn't wait to kowtow to you and want to be your grandson. If...if we are not together in the future, don't blame him.

He is so good, I only ask him for happiness for life, please bless him.

When the ingots were burned out and Hua Jin stood up from the ground, Pei Yan hurriedly reached out to help him. After Hua Jin stood firm, he got up from the ground.

"What did you say to your grandma silently in your heart?" On the way back, the two walked very slowly. Pei Yan held Hua Jin's hand and asked in a low voice, "Have you told my grandma that I am your boyfriend and your future husband."

"Guess?" Hua Jin looked at him with a smile.

"I don't guess. Even if you didn't say it, I'll introduce myself in my heart." Pei Yan raised her chin and said proudly, "I told her that I am her future grandson-in-law, and I will take good care of you in the future and live with you for the rest of my life."

lifetime.

Life is too long, and Hua Jin hardly dares to expect it, but she cherishes every moment she is with Pei Yan. Occasionally, she also hopes that the two of them will really have a future that will never be separated for the rest of their lives.

"What are your eyes?" Pei Yan looked at the smile on Hua Jin's face, "Don't you want to spend your whole life with me?"

"Hua Xiaojin, I tell you that you should not be stubborn. I even knelt down and bowed to your ancestors. If you rounded up, it would be like your family. Do you understand?" Pei Yan reached out and put Hua Jin's waist, "When you go back, let's get your marriage certificate."

"What?" Hua Jin looked at Pei Yan in a daze, unable to believe his ears.

"Don't you want to be responsible for me?" Pei Yan widened her eyes.

Hua Jin: "..."

It sounds like this, why does it look so much like what she did to him?

Even Secretary Hua, who was walking in front and pretended to have poor hearing, turned around and looked at Hua Jin with a condemnation, as if she was a scumbag girl who refused to admit her guilt.

"Silence is equivalent to agreement." Pei Yan stole a fragrance on her face, "Then we will decide that."

Hua Jin, Hua Jin had nothing to say, but there was actually a little excitement deep in her heart. Maybe, she wanted to tie herself to Pei Yan by her side, but she always pretended to be sober and pretended to be free.

After worshiping grandmother, Hua Jin took Pei Yan to his parents' grave to lit a stick of incense, but this time Hua Jin did not kneel. She looked at the three graves side by side and kept the paper ingots in the brazier.

The paper ingots burn more and more vigorously, and they will soon burn out.

There is a saying in the countryside that when worshiping ancestors, the more paper money is burned, the happier the dead people are.

Hua Jin laughed at herself. When they were born, she lived like an outsider in front of the family of three. Now that they are dead, would they like her more?

When Mars dissipated, Hua Jin said to Pei Yan: "Let's go."

The two walked silently. When they passed by a corn field with only dead poles left, Hua Jin stopped. She looked at the land and said to Secretary Hua: "Uncle, thank you for that time."

Secretary Hua was stunned for a moment. He stared at the land for a long time before he realized what Hua Jin was talking about. Hua Jin hid here back then, and he secretly lost several hundred yuan for Hua Jin.

"Let it go over the past. Go back and tell your aunt, just prove that the hundreds of dollars were given to you." Secretary Hua joked, "This will wash away the grievances of my hidden private money."

Hua Jin smiled: "Okay, I'll explain it to my aunt when I go back."

"Here..." Pei Yan looked at the land in confusion.

"When I escaped from my uncle's house, I was discovered by my uncle and hid in this field." The scenes that have appeared in nightmare countless times, and the flowers now can finally be said easily, "The corn at that time grew very tall and lush, which hid me well, but I was still discovered."

Hua Jin smiled at Secretary Hua: "After Uncle Hua discovered me, he not only did not tell his uncle, but also secretly gave me several hundred yuan."

Looking at this land, Pei Yan could hardly imagine what fate would have been if Hua Jin had not escaped that night.

He turned around and looked at Secretary Hua and bowed solemnly to him: "Thank you."

Thanks to him for helping Hua Jin, which allowed her to have a new life and let them meet in a metropolis where people come and go. Otherwise, they would have been around the world and would never meet in this life.
