The village chief's house is on top of the old house of Tian Donkey's family. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The Grange is not big, but it is not small, and it is divided into upper and lower villages. Shangzhuang, as the name suggests, is a good place for feng shui, once lived and were some of the richer people who spoke in the village with a head and a face, relatively speaking, the village lived in some poor people, if you want to use the village east and village west of the village to say, then the upper and lower grange have the east of the village and the west of the village.

In the courtyard of the village chief's house, there were a few dilapidated blue brick houses, but in those days, compared with the dilapidated adobe houses of Tian Donkey's family, it was simply a palace, and it was a fixed place for them to stay when they received cadres of all sizes who had come to the village many times to preside over the work. But time is history, eight years of wind and rain piled up into a crude history, baptized the grange, so, let it now look, old and dilapidated, but, this is enough for Tian Donkey, and, what makes him even more pleased is that every day, standing at the gate of the village chief's house, you can look down at your old house, although in this season, you can only see a yard of dry weeds.

The village chief's daughter-in-law quickly cleaned up a house for Tian Donkey, because the two sons of the village chief's family went out to work, so the family's empty house was left unused, and it became Tian Donkey's residence to return to the grange. Moreover, the village chief's daughter-in-law, after all, is a woman who has served all kinds of cadres and prepared working meals for them, so it is even more handy to start a homely meal. Three meals a day are also as fancy as possible, such as eating flatbread and pickles in the morning, noodles at noon, and stir-fried hot dishes in the evening, pouring some sorghum wine, which is really a comfortable and comfortable life. And this beautiful life suddenly soothed the fatigue of Tian Donkey's years of wandering, warmed his soul, and gave him the warmth of a real home.

That day, the village chief drank sorghum wine with Tian Donkey as usual, and then sat down and chatted with Tian Donkey.

"Donkey, how are you sleeping these days? Are you used to living with me? ”

"It's good, I sleep well, I eat well, everything is good"

"That's good, that's good, I'm afraid that you are used to living in high-rise buildings in the city, and you are used to sleeping in Simmons's big soft bed, and you can't sleep on this cement kang in my house."

"No, no, no, what did the village chief say, I also grew up in our grange, how can I not adapt to it? Moreover, when I was wandering outside, I dreamed of our hot kang several times."

"Why are you still called the village chief, I listen to the outside, and I have already retired, so, you call me uncle, in terms of seniority, I am the same as your parents, you call me uncle, we are all a family that eats in the same pot, don't be so angry"

"Okay, uncle"

The village chief nodded with satisfaction and continued.

"Donkey, you have grown up, and you can be regarded as famous outside, this, I am very pleased, making money and how much money you earn is a trivial matter, the key is that you still want to come back after you become famous, return to our Grange, this reputation is very good, it means that our Grange has good feng shui, not only talent, but also attract talents, but also shows that you have not forgotten your roots, just rush to this point, I know that your essence is good, so optimistic about you, in the future, I believe you will have greater development"

Tian Donkey was still a little weak in the village chief's exaggerated compliments, but he couldn't show his inner apprehension on his face, because he couldn't remove the rich mask on his face and reveal the essence of poverty, so he could only nod his head sincerely and listen to the village chief's heartfelt words.

"Speaking of which, our Grange, you are the first person to go out, and now, one after another, everyone is going to the city, whether it is going out to study or going out to work, they are all after you, and, after going out, the good ones will not come back, and the bad ones will not stay when they come back, and they will leave again after a while. For so many years, there are more male and female babies sent out by our grange, but the female babies will never come back when they go out, they are all hooked away by the ghosts of the city, most of them will marry away or stay in the city, and the male babies will depend on how they are mixed, hey, so you are good at mixing outside, but you are back, this is really commendable."

"Fool, fool, uncle, I'm also blind outside"

"Be modest, don't tell the truth to my uncle"

"No, no, uncle, what I'm saying is the truth, now that society has changed, I don't have a diploma when I go out, and second, I don't have a good background, so I can only fool around"

"That's also ability, I, an old man who farms and farms, have also heard that there are many rich people in the world, all of whom have not graduated from college, and even those who have not graduated from primary school. Your family, from your father to you, I know the roots, I have long seen that you are different from your father, and now it seems that you are really different from your father, hey, speaking of which, Brother Chengfu doesn't know where it is"

Facing the sigh of the village chief, Tian Donkey was a little surprised, he didn't expect that the village chief who was a master back then would now regard his unorthodox father as a brother, and he never forgot to sigh. Looking at the expression of the village chief, if Tian Donkey didn't say anything, he would tear up and remember Tian Chengfu, the scourge of the entire grange back then.

"Hey, now I believe it, my parents must not be outside, but I, an unfilial son, have not given them filial piety, and I can't collect their corpses. Hey, let's not mention the past, by the way, uncle, I see that you rush to the market every day, it's very hard to go out early and return late, and I can't help much, in fact, I also want to do something, thank you uncle and your family for being so good to me, but I don't know what to do."

"Hey, look at you, and say this kind word, you, just live in peace, I'm here, I don't need your help, I rush to the market every day, isn't this also because it's about to end the year, so, the New Year's goods that should be prepared, you have to prepare little by little, you don't have to worry about these"

"yes, it's the end of the year"

Year after year, year after year! The rich are in the New Year, and the poor are in trouble! Speaking of the New Year, Tian Donkey thought of the difficult years when he was a child, and couldn't help but feel melancholy, and even remembered that once, when it was the thirtieth day of the lunar month, his parents who went out to beg had not returned. And wandering outside the New Year, it is even more bleak, he has had three days lying on the hard bed motionless, not eating or drinking, with a high fever and serious illness The experience of celebrating the New Year, so the New Year is never good for the memory of Tian Donkey.

The village chief saw Tian Donkey's melancholy, thinking that it was caused by the inconvenience of living in his house, so he hurriedly said with relief.

"Donkey, don't worry, this year, you can spend it at my house, anyway, it's the same everywhere, the year is good, you must not worry. In addition, if you want to worship your ancestors, I can also prepare a piece of incense paper money for you, and then you can go to your old house and burn it, I think your parents can receive it."

"No need, uncle, anyway, there are no people, and there is no point in burning those, uncle, don't break the bank"

"Nonsense, how can that work? Besides, when you come back, you should also let your ancestors know, you burn some paper for them, kowtow, and tell them that you have returned to your hometown, and you burn some paper for your parents, and they are better off there, which is also your filial piety. You young people don't believe it, hey, on the Huangquan Road, there is no money to fight some ghosts, and it is not good to walk."

"Uh...... Okay, then it's troublesome uncle, and I'll thank my uncle for my parents."

"Hey, I said don't see outside, it's nothing"

As he spoke, the village chief yawned, and Tian Donkey hurriedly got up and left.

"Uncle, it's not early, you go to sleep quickly, tomorrow, you have to go to the market"

"Yes, yes, donkey, then you should go to bed early, our uncle and nephew will talk again tomorrow night."

That night, Tian Donkey returned to his house, tossing and turning, unable to sleep. He looked at the clean suitcase on the ground that had been wiped by the village chief's daughter-in-law and contained his head to turn his head, thinking about the cost of eating and drinking at the village chief's house these days, and he was a little unhappy. Originally, people were not related to him, and they could ignore him like others, but they not only pulled him, but also treated him as a guest, warmly let him live and let him eat, and even his suitcase was politely wiped down, so he had to do something to repay the kindness of the village chief's family. Didn't the ancients often say that courtesy is still exchanged, how can he violate the golden rule of interpersonal communication left by his ancestors? Thinking of this, he untied the most intimate layer of clothes around his waist, and in a few small pockets in the inner layers of the clothes, scattered the 20,000 yuan containing Tian Donkey. These days, the money has never left his body, eating and sleeping, day and night, all with him. At this time, he took out the money, counted and counted, and then counted out ten of them, a total of a thousand yuan, wrapped it in a piece of paper from an old magazine in the house, and put it next to his pillow, intending to give it to the village chief the next day.

The next morning, Tian Donkey overslept, and when he got up, the village chief had already packed up and was ready to go out to the market. Tian Donkey hurriedly jumped off the kang and stopped the village chief who was about to go out.

The village chief said with a smile.

"Donkey, what are you doing so early? Go and sleep for a while, your aunt will keep it in the pot for you for breakfast, when you wake up and when you will eat it hot."

"Uncle, I woke up, I was thinking about things last night, so I didn't know how to wake up too much, and I fell asleep in the second half of the night, so I got up late, don't you mind"

"What's this, the two debt collectors in my family, as long as they are at home, they will prostitute and gamble at night, and they will be corpses during the day, which is like you, there are both good and rules, you go, sleep a little longer, young people are sleepy and sleepy"

"No, no, uncle, I really woke up, I came out to give you something. If you take it, I won't have anything to repay my uncle."

As he spoke, Tian Donkey stuffed the wrapped 1,000 yuan into the village chief's hand.

"What's this?" The village chief asked in surprise.

"A thousand yuan, this is a little bit of my heart, uncle, don't be too little, you take it, help the family prepare New Year's goods"

"No, no, how can this work? How can I ask for your money? As he spoke, the village chief prevaricated.

Tian Donkey hurriedly pressed the village chief's hand and smiled embarrassedly. The village chief who should have collected the money was embarrassed, but Tian Donkey smiled and said good things, as if Tian Donkey had done something wrong and needed to use the thousand yuan to make up for it, and if the village chief didn't take the money and stubbornly refused, then it would be tantamount to Tian Donkey's mistake on top of wrong. This is probably the strange mentality that only people under the fence will have, and perhaps, only those superficial sincere and hypocritical help will derive and catalyze such a picture.

With twelve points of sincerity and respect, Tian Donkey persuaded the village chief.

"Uncle, I really have nothing now, I am really grateful to be able to get the help and care of your family, I don't have much, just a little heart, you just take it, in this way, let me spend the New Year at your house, otherwise, I really can't stay"

"Hey, since you said so, then I'll take it, you said this cold winter, I can't really drive you out like you said, hey, you're too good at being a man, uncle is really pleased."

After some false prevarication, the village chief put the 1,000 yuan into his pocket, and turned around and told his wife to take care of Tian Donkey when he was not at home.

After finishing speaking, the village chief went out to the market with a smile. Originally, from the moment he saw Tian Donkey, he was full of smiles, and continued to flatter Tian Donkey's wealth with a smiling face that was accustomed to flattering the powerful, and now, seeing Tian Donkey who was so generous, his smiling face was about to bloom, because he knew that the cash cow he grabbed could drop money without shaking, and after that, shaking it from time to time was not just what he wanted? In short, taking the money made him smile extremely brightly.
