Rebirth of the Rising Sun

Two years ago, Xing Zhongjie left Kyoto, left the Zhao family, and returned to his hometown, Xingjia Village under Yongyang City, Zhongzhou Province.

Before he left, the Zhao family gave him a good income, and he wanted to live a good life with this money. When he returned home on the first day of the new year, everything was fine. Although his parents were gone, his wife and two children were at home. This made Xing Zhongjie very emotional. People will eventually return to their roots. Now he is back home, with his wife and children, this is the feeling of home.

When he first came back, Xing Zhongjie discovered a small problem, that is, his wife seemed to be different from before, but thinking about how many years he had been away from home, maybe it was because of estrangement. Since he started to serve in the army, he had only returned home twice, and he had stayed at home for less than one year in the whole twelve years. This was really his fault. Thinking of this, he did not blame his wife, thinking that as long as he gave more, his wife and children would slowly resolve the estrangement.

Sure enough, when he put the money he got back from the Zhao family in Kyoto on the table, his wife's eyes turned red. At this moment, Xing Zhongjie's male self-esteem was greatly boosted.

In his plan, he wanted to use the money to do something for his family. Since the amount of money was not small at that time, he wanted to build two good houses for himself in the countryside. Seeing that his sons were growing up, he needed to earn more money to save up capital for them to marry wives. So at the recent market, he went alone to see if there were any good projects.

However, when he excitedly returned to his home in Xingjia Village, he found that his wife and children were gone, and there were only a few pieces of white paper left for him on the table.

It was clearly written on the white paper that his wife had been in love with another man before he came back. A woman with two half-day children had only seen him for less than one year in twelve years. This kind of waiting was not something that anyone could endure. Before he came back, they were still fantasizing that maybe when Xing Zhongjie came back, the family could continue to be maintained. But when he really came back, she found that the distance between the two was so far, especially since he was lame and his image was greatly reduced. I really don’t know what he can’t do in the future. Is he just relying on the money he brought back to live on his savings? Instead of this, it is better for them to take the money and leave him now, which can be regarded as fulfilling the wishes of most people.

The letter also said that, in fact, except for the eldest son who was Xing Zhongjie's child, the second son was not his biological son, but his wife's son with someone else. It was because Xing Zhongjie didn't go home all year round, so it was not easy for her to get pregnant. She also wrote in the letter that she originally wanted to leave the eldest son to him, leaving a root for the Xing family, but the eldest son didn't want to stay because he had no feelings for him and insisted on going with her. And she was reluctant to leave the child, so she took most of the money in the family, leaving only a small part for temporary living, hoping that he could forgive her.

There was also a piece of paper underneath, on which was a handwritten divorce agreement. It seemed that she was really ready for everything. Looking at all this, Xing Zhongjie, a man who had not shed tears even when his foot was hit by an enemy bayonet in the battle, was now in tears.

After a sleepless night, Xing Zhongjie thought a lot. In the end, he did not choose to look for the mother and her two children, but instead made an appointment. He was originally an orphan. The village took special care of him when he went to the village. Marrying this daughter-in-law was the only thing the village did for him, because they knew he was going to the battlefield and might not come back, so they got married quickly in order to leave a root for his Xing family. Then, after learning that she was pregnant, he resolutely went to the front line, which was a thank you to the country and the village.

But now he is back alive, but everything has returned to the way it was before he joined the army, and he is single again. Think about it, although he and his wife have been married for thirteen years, in fact, they don't know each other at all. In fact, except that she is a woman and her name, other than where her hometown is and who is in her family, Xing Zhongjie knows nothing. Forget it, forget it, since she must want to leave, then let her go, anyway, a forced marriage is not sweet, and life will not be happy.

In line with the idea that everyone has their own aspirations, although his wife was no longer around, Xing Zhongjie still signed the divorce papers. The agreement only needed his signature, and signing it now would mean dissolving their marriage. At this moment, he also felt a sense of relief.

Although he was not too attached to this relationship, he was still not used to the divorce. He stayed at home for two days doing nothing. When he was thinking about his future, Xing Zhongren, his uncle's younger brother from the same village, suddenly came to his house and found him.

Xing Zhongren is the brother of Xing Zhongjie's grandfather, so they are very close and have always had a good relationship. Xing Zhongren asked him to come this time because he heard about his family's affairs and came to see him, and also asked him to go out and explore the world together.

It turns out that Xing Zhongren is a man with some vision and some heart. He is not satisfied with dealing with land every day in the countryside, so he organized some people in the village who can sing and dance together to form a Xingjiaban Henan Opera Troupe. Henan Opera is a local opera in Zhongzhou Province. People born and raised there can hum a few songs. After simple training, they can really perform well. In this way, Xing Zhongren became the monitor of the Xingjiaban Troupe. This time, he came to Xing Zhongjie with the intention of seeking talents.

Xing Zhongren knew that his cousin's kung fu was not bad. Although his left foot was a little lame, seven or eight or even ten ordinary young men could not do anything to him. And he led the Xing family troupe to travel all over the country and inevitably had to meet all kinds of people, even people from all walks of life. If there was no one in the troupe who could show off his kung fu, there would be many troubles that could not be solved.

When Xing Zhongren expressed his thoughts, Xing Zhongjie nodded in agreement on the spot. He was thinking about doing something. He had lost interest in farming after staying in the military camp and Kyoto for so many years. Now that he had this opportunity to venture out, he would certainly cherish it. In this way, the two quickly reached an agreement, and Xing Zhongjie joined the Xing Family Class.

Not to mention, after Xing Zhongjie joined the Xing Family Troupe, he really solved a lot of problems for them. Especially once when they were performing in a village west of Zhongzhou, the son of the village head at that time came with more than a dozen friends to watch the show. They saw Shu Ran, the pillar of the Xing Family Troupe, at a glance. Although this troupe is small, Shu Ran, who sings Mu Guiying, is indeed a very iconic beauty. She is 1.7 meters tall and has a white skin that is completely different from that of rural women. Her voice is also very beautiful. If her man was not really a piece of shit and had to bet on her to someone else after losing in gambling, she would have been farming at home like many rural women who stayed at home to take care of their husbands and children. But although her husband was handsome, he was really useless and actually lost her to someone else.

Shu Ran was also a fierce woman. When she heard the news, she found the scissors at home and wanted to commit suicide to prove her innocence. At this time, Xing Zhongren appeared, promised to help her husband pay back the money, and led her to the Xing family troupe.

After she was safe, Shu Ran resolutely went through the formalities of divorce with her husband. Although divorce between men and women was rare in that era, and women taking the initiative to divorce men was even rarer, she still made this decision resolutely. From then on, she regarded the Xing family troupe as her own home. She would tune her voice every day when she had nothing to do. Not to mention that she had learned it when she was young, she was not much different now. After a while, she became a star. In addition, she was beautiful, so she became the object of many people's pursuit over time. At the same time, troubles also came. That is, every time she went to a place, she had to guard against the local young men's actions, or even more powerful means.

This time in this village, she was surrounded by more than ten people including the son of the village head. Most of the people in the Xing family class had practiced a few moves, so it was not a problem for them to rush up and deal with more than ten people. But if they fought like this, they would definitely be arrested by the village police station. What should they do when they are unfamiliar with the place? For this reason, Xing Zhongren, the head of the Xing family class, was in a dilemma. Xing Zhongjie, who was standing aside, spoke at this time. His opinion was to let Xing Zhongren take the Xing family class away immediately, and he would be responsible for covering the rear and rescuing Shu Ran at the same time.

Although it was difficult to fight more than ten people alone, Xing Zhongjie was not afraid. These more than ten people were just bullies who only bullied the weak and feared the strong, so he really didn't take them seriously. In this way, the Xing family team withdrew overnight, and after the Xing family team left that night, Xing Zhongjie also took action. He rushed to the village head's house alone and knocked down more than ten people including the village head's son who were drinking and preparing to have a good time. He rescued Shu Ran who was tied up in the house, and the two escaped overnight and caught up with the Xing family team.

A disaster was thus escaped. Since then, Xing Zhongjie's status in the Xing Family Class has been getting higher and higher. Especially after handling several emergencies, Xing Zhongren actually gave him the position of class leader. This man is also a man who can do great things. He knows that his cousin is better than himself in terms of overall situation. As long as he is in charge of collecting money, it doesn't matter who is the class leader.
