look forward to

===

In a remote cemetery on the outskirts of Yuncheng, a man is bending over to clean up the rubbish left over from the sacrifices. He is the manager of this cemetery. There are few people here. Except for the new year and Qingming Festival, few people come here on weekdays. He is the only staff, 365 days a year, he is the morning shift, and he is also the evening shift, and he lives here.

The man is tall and thin, with sunken eyes and sunken cheeks. He is wearing a very old black jacket and a pair of jeans that have been washed white. If you look closely, you can see that his whole body is well tidied up. He was clean, ignoring his overly thin face, and his short hair was neat, and the overall look didn't feel creepy.

He walked around the cemetery slowly, and returned to the administrator's dormitory not far away after cleaning. After a while, he came to the cemetery again with a bowl of rice. In front of one of the not-so-good tombstones Sitting down, he reached out to touch the tombstone and said, "It's time to eat."

The man's voice was hoarse, as if he hadn't spoken for a long time, and his pronunciation was a bit unreal. Obviously, he was the same as every day in the past, and no one would respond to him. He had to take a bowl and eat bit by bit. The sun had already set , This is his favorite time of the day. This cemetery is built on a mountain. As long as it is sunny, he can see the most beautiful sunset at this time.

The person lying on the ground likes to watch the sunset the most, and he also chooses to leave when the sunset shines into the window.

Speaking of which, when they were young, they often watched the sunset together on the mountain in their hometown. The air in the mountain is good, and there are no clouds in the sky. The whole mountain was glowing red.

"Mingxi, I don't think there is any more beautiful place than our place." The young man looked around as far as they could see. The mountains were majestic. Regardless of spring, summer, autumn and winter, the mountains were green in every season, even in winter when there was heavy snow. , There are also flowers blooming in the mountains, and being with the teenagers you like, working in the fields, or going up the mountains to herd cattle, nothing is uncomfortable. In summer, they can play in the long river that does not know where its origin is. Watching the snow, carefree.

The afterglow of the setting sun hit their faces, immature but happy, if nothing changed.

The man reached out and touched the boy with a clear smile on the tombstone. This was taken when they went to the photo studio together 20 years ago. The boy seemed to say to him, "Today's sunset is also beautiful, I am very happy."

"Xiaoqing, I'll be with you tomorrow." The man picked up the bowl at hand, turned and left.

After walking a few steps, he stopped again, reached out and touched a few in his pocket, showing a gentle smile, he walked to the tombstone again, knelt down and put a small wild daisy on the tombstone, "I haven't seen it for a long time. I saw this flower, it used to be everywhere in the mountains, today I went down the mountain, I didn’t expect to see a small piece on the mountainside, so I picked one back, Xiaoqing, I’m giving it to you, I hope you will be happy forever.”

The person in the photo still smiled warmly, as if responding to him, the man also smiled, and the afterglow of the setting sun shrouded the entire cemetery in a golden layer.

Jin Chu and Qin Mufeng just came back from country H, and they were accompanied by Xu Chuanhe and Su Linfeng. Just two days ago, the four of them went to country H together to get a marriage certificate. Naturally, the honeymoon trip must be separated. Sharing this news with relatives and friends, they first went to Guancheng and Xiangshui County before returning to Yuncheng.

Qin Mufeng told Qin You the news of his marriage, but the other party didn't say much. He didn't expect to get Qin You's blessing at first. After so many years, they have already looked like strangers, and Jin Chu also informed Qin You of the news of their marriage. After leaving Cheng Ya, she didn't have a big reaction, as she said before, it's fine to take Qin Mufeng back.

In a strange and embarrassing atmosphere, Qin You and Cheng Ya Zhao Junyang officially met for the first time as parents, and they made an appointment at a restaurant under the Zhao family. Qin Mufeng and Jin Chu officially entered their married life.

After the meal, Zhao Junyang gave Jin Chu an address, saying that Jin Mingxi was there, and Zhao Junyang said that maybe he should know on a day like today. After making a decision, maybe he can indeed meet Jin Mingxi.

It was early summer, and Qin Mufeng and Jin Chu drove to the suburbs early in the morning. The address showed that it was a cemetery. The two of them drove for about three hours before arriving at the place. It was a deserted mountain, but it was not barren. The whole mountain They are all green and there are some wild flowers growing tenaciously.

The road up the mountain is not too far, and the stone steps have vitality and tenacious weeds protruding from the gaps because few people walk on them. The two of them walked for a while before they reached the place. Rows of neat tombstones, life and death, are extraordinarily harmonious here, and death may not be a new beginning.

At this moment, the door of the administrator's hut was slightly open, and the whole mountain was very quiet. Jin Chu pulled Qin Mufeng forward, but saw no one in the hut, and the two walked towards the cemetery.

The entire cemetery was tidied up, and there were all solemn stone monuments in the past. The two walked around and looked around, only to see a man sitting in a daze in front of a tombstone in an inconspicuous position.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, the man came back to his senses. He thought it was a visitor who came to visit the deceased, and was about to stand up and guide the visitors to register. When he saw the person in front of him, he paused, "Xiao...Xiao Chu?", he Some couldn't believe it, the voice was broken because it was too hoarse.

Jin Chu's eyes fell on the tombstone beside him, it was Lin Qing!

Jin Chu didn't know how to speak. This man named Jin Mingxi was his father, but he couldn't say "Dad." This name was too unfamiliar to him.

Compared with six years ago, no, it should be said that compared with every scene in Jin Chu's memory, Jin Mingxi is quieter than ever before, no alcoholism, no domestic violence, no hysteria, Jin Mingxi is so thin that he is about to lose his appearance In Jin Chu's eyes, Jin Chu's face was peaceful like never before.

The three of them were speechless for a while, Jin Chu made a lot of construction in his heart, and then he smiled. He looked at the unfamiliar Jin Mingxi, and still called out a name he hadn't called in more than ten years, "Dad."

Although Jin Chu felt awkward after shouting, but they were in front of Lin Qing's tomb, and seeing Jin Mingxi's withered appearance avoiding the world, he was suddenly relieved. He pulled Qin Mufeng and clasped his fingers tightly: "This is Qin Mufeng, do you see?" Yes, he is my love now."

Several people recalled the scene in the hospital at the same time. Jin Mingxi must have been very desperate at the time. The loved one begged for death several times. Originally, they might be able to start a new life again.

Jin Mingxi was a little unnatural. He spent most of his life in a daze. He couldn't keep his lover, nor his wife and children. He was a jerk all his life, but he didn't expect to hear Jin Chu call him his father again. Falling on the tightly clasped hands of the young couple, the two rings that symbolize the bond of a lifetime are closely next to each other.

Qin Mufeng also followed Jin Chu and called out "Dad." To him, this title was also very unfamiliar, but at this moment, they all felt that it didn't matter. Whether it was Qin You or Jin Mingxi, it would be great if there was one more person who could witness their happiness. fine.

Jin Mingxi's emaciated figure trembled a little, and he opened his mouth to respond to them, "Okay." Except for one good word, he couldn't say anything else. He was originally an uneducated person, and he accompanied Lin Qingliu on this mountain. For a long time, he didn't know how to deal with people, which made him look awkward.

Jin Chu still couldn't help stretching out his hand, holding Jin Mingxi's thin arm, and felt that he should be supported at this time, this vicissitudes of life seemed to fall down at any time.

Jin Mingxi hesitated for a while, and then gently put a wrinkled hand on the back of Jin Chu's hand, "Xiao Chu, you can come to see me, and you are still willing to call me Dad, I am very happy, I used to do a lot of wrong things , I am a very cowardly and failed person, I can see you happy, and my father will be happy for you."

He still didn't speak very fluently, his voice was choked with sobs, but he never shed tears. Jin Chu looked at Qin Mufeng and then at Jin Mingxi, "The past is over, and Mufeng and I will have a good time."

Jin Mingxi nodded, "That's good, that's good." After that, he let go of Jin Chu's hand.

Jin Chu's eyes fell on Lin Qing's tombstone. It was Lin Qing's appearance in his teens. The youth's clean and clear smile was very dazzling. He asked Jin Mingxi, "Can I have a few words with Uncle Lin?"

Jin Mingxi nodded and stepped aside.

"Uncle Lin, I didn't expect to see you here. I don't know if you still remember me and Mu Feng." Jin Chu started as if talking about family affairs, and Qin Mufeng stood beside him, just like they were in the hospital for the first time. It was the same as the first meeting, Jin Chu was in charge of chatting, and Qin Mufeng was in charge of silence.

Jin Chu thought, maybe Lin Qing is the most comfortable now, on this unfettered mountain, with the one he loves so much, the days he envied and envisioned have come true in this way, for him and Jin Mingxi That being said, there may be nothing wrong with the current ending.

"Uncle Lin, we came here in a hurry today, so we didn't prepare any gifts for you. We will definitely bring gifts to see you next time."

Jin Mingxi didn't stay with them for too long, and they didn't have much to say between them. What he and Lin Qing couldn't ask for in this life, Jin Chu and Qin Mufeng were fulfilled, and he felt that life was not particularly bad.

Looking at the backs of Qin Mufeng and Jin Chuyuan, Jin Mingxi turned his head to look at the photo on the tombstone, feeling very satisfied. Lin Qinggao couldn't talk with him. Everything now is so similar to the days they used to be together. Cirrus Yunshu, which day they will not be together.

The scorching sun is just right, and the next life can be found.

--------------------

The episode is also over, Xiao Qin and Xiao Chu will always be happy.

Jin Mingxi is hateful, but also pitiful. Perhaps such an ending is the best for him and Lin Qing.
