In the afterglow of the setting sun, the high-end van sped on the highway. It was 2: 30 pm. The first day of the program recording had ended, and they still had to continue tomorrow.
They were not returning to Shanghai. Although the two places were close, a round trip would take four hours, so it was unnecessary.
The van was driving in the opposite direction. They were going to Xujia Town.
After the program recording, Ye Qing invited Qin Ze to tour Hangzhou. Qin Ze declined under his sister's murderous gaze and said that he wanted to wave his invisible wings and fly freely.
"You're so obedient. I'll wear a swimsuit for you tonight." Qin Bao Bao was very satisfied with her brother's tactfulness in private.
Qin Ze lit a cigarette and said softly, "I'm going to Xujia Town."
The tall sister with long legs stood behind him and was silent for a long time. "Okay, I'll accompany you."
Qin Ze was touched. "Sister, you're so nice."
Qin Bao Bao said seriously, "I'm afraid that you'll turn around and secretly ask that long-legged monster out."
Qin Ze: "…"
On both sides of the highway were tracts of farmland and fish ponds. The water was blue and the sky was blue. The vegetation was lush and the crops were thriving. Nowadays, transportation was getting more and more convenient. More than ten years ago, before the highway was built, Qin Ze's mother took him to Xujia Town. First, they took the green train for six to seven hours to get to the village of ham. Then, they took the bus for an hour to get to the county, and then took the bus to Xujia Town.
They set off in the morning and arrived at night.
If you want to be rich, you have to build roads first.
Qin Baobao curled up in the comfortable big chair and talked on her phone for half an hour. Feeling rather bored, she stretched her body and squeaked. Her elder sister, who was wearing thin spring clothes and a white shirt, stretched her waist, revealing a patch of white skin around her waist, as well as her cute belly button.
Qin Ze took the opportunity to take a few glances. When his sister finished stretching, he resumed his sitting posture.
Qin Bao Bao muttered, "Salted fish."
Qin Ze did not hear clearly. "What?"
"Nothing." Qin Bao Bao pulled the hem of her shirt. "I'm so bored."
"Let's watch a movie."
"My eyes are tired from playing with my phone."
"Sleep?"
"I can't sleep." Qin Bao Bao blinked, her eyelashes fluttering. "Azé, tell your sister some jokes."
Qin Ze thought for a moment and looked at his sister's face. "Sister is the most beautiful fairy in the world."
Qin Bao Bao was taken aback for a moment, then a look of joy appeared on his face.
Qin Ze changed the topic. "What a joke, hahaha."
The smile on Qin Bao Bao's face gradually turned ferocious. She waved her hand to beat him up.
"You're the one who told me to tell jokes," Qin Ze protested.
When Qin Bao Bao heard this, she became even angrier. She pounced on him and started to wrestle with him. Her heavy chest rubbed against his face — it was the Genuine Facial Cleanser.
No, that's not right. Looking at sister's murderous look, this isn't a facial cleanser, this is a chest murder.
"How do you want to die?" Qin Bao Bao pinched his ears with both hands and puffed up her cheeks. "You can't say that you want to die of pleasure, you can't say that you want to die of old age, and you can't say that you want to die of lust."
"Hiss ~" Qin Ze gasped. "I choose to be dumbfounded."
Qin Bao Bao: "?"
Qin Ze: "Suffocate me to death."
"Although I don't know what you're talking about, I reject." Qin Bao Bao bent her finger and flicked him hard on the forehead.
"Then I'll tell sister another serious joke. I saw it on the Internet and laughed until my stomach hurt," Qin Ze said.
"Then tell it." Qin Bao Bao crossed her legs.
"Do you know who the most selfless person in the world is?" Qin Ze asked.
"I don't know," Qin Bao Bao said.
"It's Cai Lun." Qin Ze smiled wickedly.
"Why?" Qin Bao Bao asked.
"Because he's a eunuch, but he invented paper and benefited thousands of fellow otakus." Qin Ze couldn't help but laugh.
Qin Bao Bao: "…"
What was so funny? She couldn't get it at all.
"Eh, isn't it funny?" Qin Ze scratched his head. "I think it's very funny. Then I'll tell you another one."
He pondered for a long time, and his eyes lit up. "I'll tell you a joke that I made up. There's a story behind it."
Instantly, Qin Bao Bao's interest was piqued and she nodded vigorously.
Qin Ze cleared his throat. "When Li Bai was young, he didn't work hard in class and ran out to play. He saw an old granny sharpening an iron rod. Li Bai ran over and asked, 'Granny, why are you sharpening an iron rod?' The old granny said … "
He paused and looked at his sister.
His sister blinked. "As long as you work hard, you can grind an iron rod into a needle?"
"No." Qin Ze paused for a few seconds. "The old granny said, 'What do I need this iron rod for?'"
After he finished, Qin Ze was overjoyed.
Qin Bao Bao: "…"
"Isn't this funny?" Qin Ze saw his sister's confused expression.
Qin Bao Bao pouted and nodded.
"I think it's quite funny, and I feel that I'm very smart to come up with such an interesting joke."
Qin Bao Bao thought to herself, 'You're just being self-absorbed.'
"Then I'll tell you another joke. I've made many jokes."
Qin Ze was not satisfied that he couldn't make his sister laugh.
"No." Qin Bao Bao looked dispirited and forced a smile. "Actually, I don't like jokes at all. I was just joking with you."
She would never joke with Azé again.
"I can really tell a big joke this time," Qin Ze said.
"I don't want to hear it. Get lost!" Qin Bao Bao turned sideways and turned the back of her head to her brother.
After two hours of driving, they arrived at Xujia Town. They didn't drive into the town but stopped by the roadside. Qin Ze got out of the car with a bouquet of white chrysanthemums he bought.
The siblings walked side by side on the weedy field path in the middle. They passed through the crops, the pond, and a small City God Temple. He climbed up a small mound and looked down. What entered his eyes was the rising and falling of tea trees, arranged very neatly.
Women with dustpans around their waists and sleeves on their hands were scattered in the tea forest in twos and threes, picking spring tea leaves.
"It's so beautiful. Ten miles of tea forest." Qin Bao Bao took out her phone and took three consecutive selfies without saying anything. Then, she raised her phone and took selfies in various positions. After taking the selfies, she looked at them and felt unsatisfied. She asked Qin Ze to help her take more.
"There are more tea forests in the mountains, and they're more beautiful. When the spring rain ends, the mist lingers in the tea forest. It's like a fairyland." Qin Ze took a few selfies for his sister and returned the phone to her.
Qin Bao Bao held his arm and walked towards the cemetery below the tea forest.
"When we don't want to work in the entertainment industry anymore, we'll buy a house here. No, we'll build a villa. Then, we'll pick chrysanthemums and go to the southeast …" Before she finished, Qin Ze interrupted, "Love Maple Forest Night."
Qin Bao Bao said angrily, "Get lost. We're talking about serious business."
"Serious business is …" Qin Ze flicked his sister's forehead. "Don't be a hipster. It's not realistic."
"Why?"
"First of all, if you want to build a villa, you'll need approval for the foundation. However, you're not a local, so you can't get approval for the foundation. Now, if you use your connections and build a big villa, someone will report you. Although the villages are rich now, there are more and more shallow people who can't bear to see others living well. If you want to build a house here, you'll need the approval of your neighbors. If you're not close to them, you'll have to spend some money. If the neighbors are jealous and refuse to agree, don't even think about building a brick. "
"We people in the city always yearn for a rural life and envy the villagers. Actually, it's easy for us to say that. Fortunately, our mother brings me to the countryside for a few months every year. It's not as leisurely and carefree as the people in the city say. When I was young, whoever raised chickens, ducks, and geese would have a smelly yard. When it rained, it would be like dung hitting water. It's also not like now where there are so many factories. The villagers all live in the fields, facing the yellow soil and the sky. They don't have the time to appreciate the natural scenery. They're all dog-tired. No matter how cold it is in winter or how hot it is in summer, they have to go to the fields. Why would the people in the city come to the countryside? After spending all their money, they still have to go back to work in the city. "
"We're rich. We have enough money to spend in the countryside for eight lifetimes. However, the countryside is short of supplies. There's no 24-hour convenience store, no shopping mall, no subway. There are all kinds of restaurants in Thailand, Japan, Korea, and France. If you want to have a cup of Starbucks with me, you have to drive to the city to buy it. "
"I, I'm just saying. Why do you have to dampen my enthusiasm?" Qin Bao Bao was confused and helpless. She glanced at her brother. "What's wrong with you?"
Qin Ze shook his head and stood in front of a tombstone expressionlessly.
