Chapter Thirty-Eight: Thoughts Are Spirits

If it weren't for a sudden phone call, the fat man would have almost overslept the next day.

No way, I didn't go offline until half past 12 last night, and it was close to 1 o'clock in the morning when I went to bed, and when the phone rang in the morning, the fat man was sleeping soundly.

The fat, sleepy-eyed man reached out and picked up the phone, and found that the person on the video turned out to be Father Cyrian.

"Hey, fatty, you won't forget what you're going to do today, will you?"

Father Sirian on the phone is an old man in his fifties, with a chubby face and a pair of funny trumpet glasses, although he is a European, but he speaks authentic Mandarin, and from time to time he will have the taste of a Beijing movie.

Maybe it's because of the fat man at the same time, after entering the church, Sirian and the fat man looked at the mung beans right and chatted very well.

Being mentioned by Cilian like this, the fat man suddenly remembered, today is Monday, and every day the church needs to be cleaned, and everyone has to go, which is why when playing games yesterday, the fat man can still remember the reason why he has to go to work today, and he is used to his surname.

So casually said a word to the old man Cilian, and the fat man hung up the phone and got up to freshen up.

In fact, to put it mildly, the profession of fat man may seem to other Chinese people, it is a very rare thing, I have heard of being a monk, I have heard of being a monk, I have heard of being a monk, but I have never heard of being a priest.

Well, it's not accurate to say that the priest is now, the fat man's current official position in the church is a trainee pastor, and he can only be regarded as an ordinary foreign monk, and he has not yet risen to the level of a priest.

But the fat man was indeed a formal clergyman, and when he was in college, he majored in theology! A professional that is not good in the Chinese region......

After getting up and freshening up, the fat man put on his monk's robe, and was about to go out when he suddenly hurried back again.

Inside the bedroom, the fat man carefully picked up a pair of picture frames from the top of the cabinet, carefully wiped them, and then gently put them down, and finally turned around and left the room.

On the photo frame, there are two smiling couples with a man and a woman, the man is a little fat, and it can be vaguely seen that he looks a little like the fat man, while the woman is very beautiful, with long black flowing hair, she snuggles in the arms of the man in the photo, looking down at a baby in her arms, with a gentle and maternal love.

Everyone may have just come out, yes, the couple is the fat man's parents, and the fat baby who is drooling and sleeping with his eyes closed in the photo is Tang Ji.

A very warm photo......

When the fat man was very young, about four or five years old, his parents died in a car accident, and many memories of his childhood have become a little blurred with the passage of time, so all the impressions of the fat man on his parents come from this photo, it can be said that this photo is the most precious item in the fat man's life, every day after getting up, he will carefully wipe the photo frame, and then carefully put it away.

Because there are no relatives and friends, so after losing his parents, the young fat man grew up in an orphanage since he was a child, but fortunately, since the establishment of the federation, various social welfare has been greatly improved, so the fat man did not stage such a bloody plot of tragic childhood in the orphanage, he grew up smoothly Chengren, and was successfully admitted to the university.

In the end, when he became an adult, the inheritance left to him by his parents was successfully passed to his name, which is the house where the fat man now lives, and he later learned that the inheritance had been kept by the regulatory agency until he was a minor, which made the fat man happy to have a perfect federal legal mechanism.

But after living in this house, the fat man's longing for his parents has not been alleviated because of these relics, but has become more and more intense, can you imagine how the fat man has come over for more than ten years? Although no one in the orphanage would discriminate against him or bully him, whether it was the fat man or the other children in the orphanage, they knew that the reason why they were here was because they lost their parents.

So when the children in the orphanage got together, the most they talked about was about their parents......

The fat man once read this sentence in a book:

"Thoughts are like a jar of wine, the more you bury it deep in the ground, the more mellow and ......intense it will be when you take it out."

The fat man felt that the house left by his parents was the jar of spirits, and when this house appeared in front of his eyes again, it was like the jar of wine had been opened, and the feeling of being so strong and pungent that he wanted to cry rushed towards him......

He wanted to know if there really was a kingdom of heaven in this world, if there was really a so-called Western Elysium, and if so, would his parents be doing there?

So, when he applied for the university application, the fat man chose to study theology, and he felt that if there was really a God, then God would not let him see his parents again for his sake of serving him.

It's a stupid reason, but it's also a distressing reason, because it was the only sustenance for a simple little fat man to miss his family......

Theology, although in the universities in China, is only a major that follows the trend, but in fact there are not many students who really choose this major, but the fat man finally graduated with excellent grades, and when he graduated, a new church happened to be built near his community, so the fat man got his wish and found a job nearby.

The community where the fat man is located, in fact, has been some years, but it is precisely because of this, the trees in the community are lush, growing very luxuriant, and the environment is also very quiet, compared to those dense residential areas full of modern atmosphere, the real estate in this community is not only not depreciated because of age, but more valuable, when the fat man took over this house from the estate management and supervision agency, there were no less than dozens of people to ask him, want to buy this house from him.

Because the real estate in this community has become sought-after, so in fact, since the fat man lived here, as far as he knows, there have been many residents in the community who have changed owners, and those who can get a property here at a large price are not afraid to say that they are powerful, but they are also extremely rich, you know, a house in this community is now worth more than those newly built villas.

However, no matter how much the house is worth, the fat man will not sell it, it is not a matter of money or not, this is the only sustenance he misses......

Walking on the staggered tree-lined roads of the community, the fat man listened to the crisp birdsong in the neighborhood that is impossible in today's modern city, while sorting out his memories.

If his memory is correct, he should have joined the Maurice Church as a trainee priest just over a month ago, that is, he and Father Cyrian, as well as the other clergy in the church, had only known each other for a month, not four years later, knowing each other how many times a week they would change......

Therefore, he must be mentally prepared, at least not to let his behavior be too outrageous.

Morris Church is in the middle of the community, and it didn't take long for the fat man to arrive, looking at the modernist style of the church, the fat man sighed softly, and then stepped inside......
