CHAPTER XV

After several tosses and turns, several bumps, with exhaustion and dust, Tian Donkey's feet finally stepped on the land of his hometown. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

It's back, it's back, it's finally back, breathing in the sweet earthy air, looking at the seemingly eternal blue sky, feeling extremely friendly and comfortable. The Grange has not changed, and it is exactly the same as the Grange in Tian Donkey's memory. He couldn't hide the joy on his face, looked at the Grange in front of him, and let out two silent laughs.

People are like this, what they have, they will not cherish anything, just like when Tian Donkey was still living here, he hated the land that trapped him, but now, he smiled at her flattery, and he couldn't wait to kneel down and repent of the sin he had spurned this land, and then ask her to accept the vicissitudes and body of her wandering. In fact, he didn't have to, because the Grange at this time had neither his father nor his mother, nor his place. The impulse of human beings to go home, based on the affection and concern of the heart, what does the donkey care about the grange? Is it land? Is it a loved one? Thinking of this, Tian Donkey, who was still surging with emotions in his heart just now, was instantly lost, his brows began to lock, and he hesitated, not knowing where he should go. Come to think of it, his incompetent father and the thin and cowardly deaf and dumb old lady who are idle and clever in life and end up living, their bones are not even thrown on the ground under their feet, and they don't know where they will be buried. And the few acres of barren land of the old Tian family, which has not been cultivated since the hands of the old man, must be overgrown with weeds, and his donkey is a person, not a grass, how can he be attached to the land? Is it to prove something? Or is it to escape? Perhaps, only the donkey who has endured all the hardships in the city, seen the cold of the world, lived a desolate and miserable life, and fled back to the countryside in a hurry, only knows that the reason why he went home is to prove to God that the dream of the wife and children who have been longing for generations to have a hot kang head also wants to have it! Therefore, he went back wherever he came from, and even in the years he was wandering, he never diminished his yearning for that kind of beautiful life!

The timidity and doubts of the neighboring villages were like a dark cloud, but he didn't stay on Tian Donkey's face for too long, and his mood became happy again, after all, this place that made him miss his heart, although he didn't have his own relatives, but it was also like his lover, so, facing her, Tian Donkey couldn't help but smile and hum a little song.

"Riglen, stride, mourning dog, stray dog, let's find my uncle together......"

Just as Tian Donkey's mouth hummed, Tian Donkey, who wears a suit and leather shoes, does not have much sense of nobility for the Grange, but has changed from a lost dog back then to a stray dog that has come home now, and he is back, still wandering, wandering from house to house in the magical land of the Grange.

"Wow! Isn't this a donkey?! I almost didn't recognize it! ”

Tian Donkey, who was walking and humming, almost collided with the person standing in front of him, and when he heard the other party call out his name, Tian Donkey hurriedly stopped and looked up, and recognized the other party at a glance, it was Sun Jinsheng, who had contributed to their helper back then. The years have not let go of Tian Donkey, and also did not let go of Sun Jinsheng, his face is even older, it seems, it seems that he is not happy, wearing tattered clothes, standing in front of Tian Donkey in a suit and leather shoes, extremely shabby, and beside him, there is a little boy with a snot bubbling and dirty.

"You are dressed like this, I really dare not admit it, how about it, have you made a fortune?"

It is really a person who relies on clothes and horses to rely on the saddle, and the Tian donkey in a suit and leather shoes was immediately regarded as a rich man who can make a fortune, and Sun Jinsheng, a rich man who disdained to lend money to Tian Donkey, still does not leave the money in three sentences, but at the moment, he cares about Tian Donkey's money, it seems that whether Tian Donkey makes a fortune or not is related to his net worth. He laughed alongside him, and spoke again to himself.

"Tsk, Tian Donkey, you are really different from what it used to be, no matter who looks at it, I don't dare to say that you are the one who borrowed money from around back then, oh no, you were the Tian Donkey of our Grange back then, probably you have to say that the big boss Tian Donkey!"

"No, no" Tian Donkey quickly waved his hand, smiled embarrassedly, and explained in a low voice, "I actually didn't make any money, how can I be a boss?"

"Huh, modest! Coming from outside, it's just different, oh yes......" said, Sun Jinsheng turned his head and explained to the little boy behind him, "Qian Wa, go quickly, tell your mother-in-law, let her quickly clean up the house, and say that there are relatives at home who are coming."

The little boy named Qian Sheng blinked his eyes and said to Sun Jinsheng.

"Master, are you mistaken? Our family has no guests to come today, my mother-in-law has said, our family will not have guests in ten lifetimes, because our family is poor, and the rich do not go to poor relatives, you told me this yesterday."

Sun Jinsheng didn't expect his polite lie to be exposed by Sun Tzu at once, and he scolded angrily.

"You little bunny! Talking nonsense with your eyes open! I said that having relatives means having relatives, and such a distinguished guest in front of me is not our relatives? ”

"Him?"

The little boy looked at Tian Donkey, and pointed at Tian Donkey with a puzzled face, but was beaten off by Sun Jinsheng.

"Put your hands down! Little bastard who doesn't know the rules, don't go soon! ”

"Oh"

After speaking, the little boy who had been educated answered the sound, turned around and ran away.

Sun Jinsheng turned his head again, looked at Tian Donkey with a smile on his face, and then looked at Tian Donkey's suit, and continued.

"I knew back then that I was not wrong, tsk, now, look at what you are wearing, you have both face and lining, and the material must be expensive, am I not wrong?"

"It's not very expensive, Uncle Sun, people rely on clothes and horses rely on saddles, if I don't wear this clothes, I guess you won't recognize me today, right?"

"Where, where are you talking about? I didn't dare to admit it, it's not that I couldn't recognize it, to tell the truth, I recognized you from afar, no, it was really you, so I'm standing here and waiting, please come to my house as a guest, come on, your luggage is not sinking? I'll carry it for you."

"No, no, no" The flattered Tian Donkey hurriedly pulled the empty box behind him, and Sun Jinsheng also retracted his hand and smiled at Tian Donkey.

This is really not what it used to be! If you want to go into any house to beg for mercy, you have to take a good look at the auspicious day of the zodiac.

After a while, the little boy ran back again, and said in a hurry, "Grandpa, you go home quickly, Grandma said that she lost a dollar in the commissary and was taken away by the second blind man's mother-in-law, the two are fighting, go and see."

As soon as he heard that Sun Zi Qianwa brought the good news that made his face shine, but the scandal of a fire in the backyard and a fight between his wife and someone, Sun Jinsheng's face began to turn red and white, and he clenched his fists and scolded fiercely.

"This shameful dead old woman is doing stupid things! A dollar can't kill her again, see if I don't clean her up! As he spoke, he was already gearing up, opened his legs and hurriedly walked towards home, walked two steps, and then turned to Tian Donkey and said, "I have time to sit at home, I think of the past, our family liked you very much, you must come and sit, oh no, turn around, I will invite you again, go to my house to sit, you must be" After speaking, he and his grandson ran towards the house in a hurry.

Tian Donkey looked at Sun Jinsheng who rushed home to extinguish the fire, a little helpless and a little emotional, yes, he not only remembered this person, but also remembered that this person had humiliated himself because of money, although time diluted the sense of humiliation and hatred in his memory, but in any case, in the face of Sun Jinsheng, the first person he met by chance when he returned to his hometown, he couldn't be kind. However, Sun Jinsheng's words echoed in his ears for a long time. Yes, in this grange, it is estimated that Sun Jinsheng is not the only one who thinks that today's Tian Donkey has made a fortune, but the truth of the matter is that he Tian Donkey almost took his life because of the loss of his hard-earned money, even if he is standing here intact now, covering up the truth of poverty with a set of cheap clothes, he can't fill the empty suitcase behind him that symbolizes poverty.

What should he do? Do you want to explain them one by one? Tell me? Do you want to continue to cry poor? So will he still be scorned and looked down upon as he was eight years ago? And in that case, what is the point of his donkey coming home? After thinking about it, Tian Donkey started a psychological struggle again, and gradually, his heart lost his peace and balance, after all, no one has seen his embarrassed appearance when he goes out, and no one sympathizes with his hardships and labors, so why should he expose his scars and expose his ugliness? The rule of this world is to laugh at the poor and not at the prostitute, he Tian Donkey returned to his hometown this time in order to live a different life from before, just like the oath he once made, he will definitely live a different life from his father, so he resolutely cannot let others look down on him! This feeling of being looked up to and revered was so good that he had never experienced it before.

In the end, the glory of returning home triumphed over the fact of shriveling. Tian Donkey plans to continue to pretend to be arrogant, use a moment of vanity to redeem the dignity lost back then, and compensate for the wounded heart. He looked back and forth, left and right, but fortunately there was no one around, so he hurriedly turned around, walked to a pile of turning heads not far away, and quickly loaded a few bricks into the box, making the luggage look heavy, so as not to be seen through, inside and out, from head to toe to the luggage, and also made him look more like a rich man.
