Chapter 20: The Ugly Duckling

"Miss Ziqin, you only see the bad side, but do you know the life of a poor family?" Yang Bing smiled bitterly in his heart, he was born in a big family and had no freedom? The hard life he had since childhood is still vivid, because his family was poor and had no family support, he and his grandfather depended on each other, and he didn't know how many people he had been bullied and blinded in the village.

Many people think that the mountain people in the ravine are industrious and simple, but they don't know that there is another saying, the phrase "poor mountains and bad waters" is also reasonable, and he has been humiliated by many children of the same age, saying that he is a wild seed that runs out of the cracks in the stones.

For this matter, he did not fight with those uneducated children, whether he won or not, he suffered a loss, how could a lonely old man get a little cheap, and gradually the children who played with him were getting older and fewer, and even did not know when it started, he became lonely, and there was no longer a childhood partner around him.

Every time he sees other people's children playing so happily together, he can only look at them with envy, but he doesn't dare to go over and play with them, the parents of those children will not give him a good look, and even do something to him, he clearly remembers that he was thrown away by an unscrupulous parent.

He had asked his grandfather more than once, where his parents went, grandpa shook his head and said he didn't know, at first he thought that grandpa deliberately concealed it, and then got the news under the knock of the neighbors, only to know that grandpa was not lying, he was just picked up by grandpa in the grass, and he didn't know who his biological parents were.

Just such a grandfather who is not related by blood adopted himself, grandpa regarded him as his own, worked hard to educate him, grandpa is also a scholar, Yang Bing, who has no playmates since childhood, has not become withdrawn and eccentric because of the harsh growth environment.

The grandfather of the four walls of the family gritted his teeth and freed up money for Yang Bing to study, Yang Bing also knew that his grandfather's money was not easy to come by, but it was not that he didn't work hard, his grades were never hopeful, and the teacher scolded him again and again, saying that he was a fool and not a material for reading.

For those teachers who gritted their teeth, grandpa only smiled slightly, never punished Yang Bing, and still paid for him to study, until the year of high school, Yang Bing, who was in the classroom, received a call from a neighbor at home, and he left the school like this.

Grandpa just left, when Yang Bing, who was shocked to hear the bad news, rushed to the house, he saw his sleeping grandfather, his expression was very peaceful, it can be seen from the smile on the corner of his mouth that he is more than ninety, and he has no illness and disaster all his life, and it is not a good thing to be able to leave like this.

Yang Bing didn't cry, Grandpa's teachings were still echoing in his ears, at this time, something very strange or interesting happened, the neighbors were very keen on Grandpa's death, how could the evil neighbors who usually don't get along with each other be so kind?

Yang Bing saw greed in their eyes and between the lines, the greed for this old house, this crumbling and dangerous house, they didn't even let it go, Yang Bing sneered, he knew the stakes better than anyone else.

He said a few words casually, so that those neighbors who were usually indifferent became grandpa's own sons, and grandpa's posthumous affairs were done beautifully, even more beautiful than the rich people in the village, and a group of adults were played by Yang Bing driven by greed.

"Okay, my story is over, Princess Ziqin, do you know how happy you are?"

"You're right, compared to you, my childhood was indeed very happy?" Ziqin smiled in a self-deprecating tone, "I don't think so, you say I only see the bad side, but aren't you like that?"

"My wife is right, your grandfather is a very great person, isn't it happiness to have such a grandfather?" Lan Ling sneered, "I've been into your memory world, I've seen a lot of pleasant memories of you, and your childhood wasn't so gloomy. ”

"Ace, I'll tell you a story too, a story that you are very familiar with, once upon a time there was a little duckling, a very ugly little duckling, because he looked ugly" The story of the ugly duckling told by Ziqin is popular all over the world.

A fairy tale is an ordinary story that can't be ordinary, but it has made waves in Yang Bing's heart, because he clearly remembers where he first saw this story, a Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale found in a garbage heap, a fairy tale book is not worth mentioning for ordinary people at all, and any extracurricular books are a luxury for himself who can't open the pot.

He was very happy about the misfortunes and sufferings he had suffered in the past. He clearly recognized that happiness and beauty were beckoning to him. - Many whooper swans swam around him and kissed him with their beaks.

A few small children came to the garden. They threw many slices of bread and grains of wheat into the water. The youngest child shouted, "Look at the new swan!" and the other children cried out happily, "Yes, there is a new swan!"

So they clapped their hands, danced, and ran to their father and mother. They threw more bread and pastries into the water, and everyone said, "This new one is the most beautiful, so young, so beautiful!" and the old swans could not help but bow their heads before him.

He felt very embarrassed. He hid his head in his wings, not knowing what to do. He felt so happy, but he was not proud at all, because a good heart will never be proud. He thought about how he had been persecuted and ridiculed, and now he heard people say that he was the most beautiful of all birds. Lilac drooped its branches into the water before him. The sun was shining warmly and pleasantly. He flapped his wings, straightened his slender neck, and made a happy voice from within: "When I was an ugly duckling, I never dreamed of such happiness!"

Ziqin looked at the two of them and said, "Because a good heart will never be proud, do you understand the meaning of this sentence?"

Yang Bing nodded and silently read in his heart: "A good heart will never be proud, in our Chinese proverb, you can't forget your roots, this is a sentence that my grandfather often said to me, I know the meaning of this sentence very well, no matter what I will become in the future, I will never be proud." ”

In China, the rich second generation is an arrogant and lawless group of villains and fanatics, the reason why the country's reputation is notorious abroad is inextricably linked with this group of rich second generations, that kind of evil atmosphere can not be seen in this British girl, Yang Bing's perception of her has risen to a new level, and he can't help but sigh in his heart: How can there be such a perfect girl in the world?

"Lan Ling, among the three of us, the happiest is you, you were born in the happiest country, and you have such a beautiful home, and there are so many relatives who love you." Yang Bing's words paused at this point.

The problem lies with the relatives, he is really negligent, really the so-called which pot is not opened and which pot, Captain Blue mentioned to himself that his son and daughter-in-law disappeared in an expedition to the Alpine snow-capped mountains, and many years have passed, but the bones have still not been found.

Yang Bing looked at Lan Ling with an embarrassed smile: "Being able to meet Sister Niya, who loves you so much, is really the greatest gift God has given you." He hurriedly moved out of Nya, since Nya was supreme in her heart, then it should be able to help.

Although the topic was quickly brought over by Yang Bing, Lan Ling's eyes still showed a trace of dazedness, maybe the word relatives stung the painful memory in her mind that she didn't want to mention, and she whispered a few words.

Although she didn't make a sound, Yang Bing keenly caught it from her mouth shape: "dadmom!"

Ziqin glanced at Yang Bing with cold eyes, and then said, "Lan Ling, don't think too much. ”

"After so many years, I have long been used to it, fate has taken away my parents, but it is my greatest happiness to send me Sister Niya and you. ”

"Actually, I want to say," Yang Bing said with a flattering smile, "You should say so, your greatest happiness is that God sent me to you, after having me." ”

Before Yang Bing's words fell, there was a miserable scream, a wave ran over him, and the cold and biting water directly washed Yang Bing away, and the laughter of the two girls sounded in the woods.
