There is an idiom in China called "returning home", no matter how miserable a person is outside, he must return to his hometown. Even the lowest migrant workers return home with large bags of New Year's goods and go back happily in new clothes.

Just because of two words: face!

Wang Letian was a little embarrassed, he only had more than 800 yuan left in all his assets, and he bought some cheap Beijing specialties for his parents casually, and then quietly returned by hard-seat train.

From the capital to the hometown city, the train drove for 30 hours.

Fortunately, Wang Letian's body was transformed by Pei Yuandan, and he didn't feel tired all the way.

After getting off the train, Wang Letian took a bus to the county seat, and then took the district and county shuttle bus back to the town. There is still a distance of seven or eight kilometers from the town to the village, and there is no bus, so you can only take illegal tricycles.

The town is called Yangshi Town, and today is the time to catch the market, and the town is very lively.

The streets are lined with grocery stalls, pots and pans, clothes, shoes and hats, and they are sold very cheaply. There are also some farmers who bring their own vegetables, as well as eggs and other agricultural products, to the market to sell.

Wang Letian carried two Beijing roast ducks, dragged his suitcase, and walked directly towards the bridge.

There is the edge of the bazaar, where more than a dozen motorized tricycles are parked. The owners of the cars are farmers from various villages, and they will do the business of soliciting customers every time they go to the market, and they are responsible for picking up and dropping off the villagers who come to the market.

The fare is not expensive, seven or eight kilometers away, only 1 yuan is charged for a one-way trip. But even for 1 yuan, there are still many farmers who are reluctant to sit and would rather walk for two or three hours to catch the market.

Wang Letian came to a tricycle, took out a cigarette and handed it to the driver and said, "Fourth uncle, how is the business going?"

"Yo, it's a little God," the tricycle driver took the cigarette and looked at it, complimentingly, "You're a big boss and you're different, all the Chinese cigarettes are smoked." ”

Wang Letian said: "It's not unusual, this cigarette was given by a friend." ”

The tricycle driver's name is Wang Shimin, and he is Wang Letian's fourth uncle in terms of seniority. In fact, the relationship is not very close, because most of the people in the village are related to each other, and anyone can be called uncle and aunt.

Wang Shimin lit the Chinese cigarette, took a puff of intoxication, swallowed the clouds and puffed out the fog: "Xiaotian, are you going back to your hometown? ”

"It's okay, I'll wait. Wang Letian took out a yuan fare and handed it over.

"You kid, what kind of money do you give, and your fourth uncle is also like this. Wang Shimin complained and quickly accepted the money.

After waiting for about an hour, the market finally ended, and the villagers came to Qiaotou one after another to take the bus back.

Wang Shimin's tricycle has been modified and has a roof welded on the body, so he is not afraid of the sun and rain when he sits in it. Nails 30 centimeters wide wooden planks on both sides, this board is the passenger seat, which can seat 8 to 10 people when squeezed.

The tricycle was quickly filled, and the villagers were very enthusiastic when they saw Wang Letian, chatting with him one by one.

"It's really rare for college students to come back, it's rare to see them. A middle-aged woman said.

"Aunt Qi is good. Wang Letian greeted with a smile.

Another old lady said: "I still have a good chance of studying, unlike my grandson, who is not a good person, who can only work hard under the construction site." ”

Another middle-aged woman continued: "Isn't it? By the way, Xiaotian, you are a big boss, why don't you drive back by yourself? ”

When these words came out, the people in the car suddenly looked strange, some sneered, and some pretended not to understand, but they all had a kind of schadenfreude in it.

From the founding of New China to the present, Wang Letian is one of the only three college students in the village. Later, I heard that he opened a company in the capital, and the villagers were envious, jealous and hateful, and there was an endless stream of people who came to the door to say that they were matchmakers.

But some time ago, in order to make up the hole for Wang Letian's company, his parents looked for someone to borrow money everywhere, and the news of his company's collapse spread immediately, and I secretly didn't know how many villagers saw the joke.

The middle-aged woman asked Wang Letian why he didn't drive home, obviously deliberately mocking. Wang Letian smiled when he heard this: "The capital is too far away, and it is very good to drive back to burn oil." ”

Wang Shimin, who was starting the tricycle, helped to play the round and said: "People take a tricycle every day, that's to take care of my business, and just now they scattered my Chinese cigarettes." ”

They are all villagers of the same village, and some things can't be said too much, otherwise they won't be able to get along in the future. These middle-aged women stopped being cynical, and quickly turned the topic to their parents, talking about whose chickens were stolen and the price of pork in the town rising again.

Wang Letian was too lazy to meet them in general, and sat quietly in the car with his eyes closed.

China's infrastructure construction is still very powerful, and cement roads have been built in such remote mountain villages. It's just that the road surface of the village road is too narrow, and it can only ensure the passage of one vehicle. The car can barely get out of the way, but when two large trucks meet, one of them has to reverse and find a spacious place to give way.

I don't know how long it took, Wang Shimin suddenly stopped and shouted: "Xiaotian, it's here!"

"Thank you, Fourth Uncle. Wang Letian got out of the car with his luggage.

Wang Shimin said with a smile: "Thank you, it's all your own family, come to the fourth uncle's house to drink another day." ”

Wang Letian also smiled: "Certainly, definitely." ”

The tricycle carried the villagers on, Wang Letian stood on the side of the road, he was deaf and deaf after taking Peiyuan Dan, and he could faintly hear the village women in the car talking behind their backs-

"Xiufang, you said that this is not the New Year's holiday, what did Wang Letian do when he suddenly returned to the village?"

"I can't get along outside, I heard that I owe a lot of bad debts, and I have to borrow money from my family to help him pay it back. ”

"It's a sin, the family spent tens of thousands of dollars for him to go to college, and now he can't make money after graduation, and he still has to be posted by his parents. ”

"I'll just say it's useless to read. You see that Wang Letian has read so many books, and he is still a college student, and he doesn't even have a car when he goes home. My Xiaochao is different, I went to be an apprentice after graduating from junior high school, and now I am the chef in charge of a restaurant, and I just bought a car a few days ago. ”

"Really, your little super bought a car!"

"That's not it, it's still a foreign brand, it's called Corolla. ”

"This name is good, and it is made of foreign countries when you hear it, and it is more foreign than domestic brands. ”

“......”

Listening to these discussions, Wang Letian smiled self-deprecatingly, he was not angry, what was he angry with a group of uninformed rural girls? He was just a little depressed, if these words reached the ears of his parents, it might make the second elder sad and faceless.

After getting the Immortal Cultivation Technique, Wang Letian didn't value money much anymore. But born in the world, it is difficult to move an inch without money, and he must find a way to make money as soon as possible, at least not let his parents be ridiculed.
