Chapter 382 Always Keep the Original

When Qin Sheng was an undergraduate, on every long vacation, he would go back to the Zhongnan Mountains to visit his grandpa. He usually stayed for two days, enjoying the quietness here, and then went to the Lins’ house. At that ti, where Grandpa lived was his ho.

This small village in the Zhongnan Mountains was not Qin Sheng’s ho, but he had so special emotional connection with this place. His friends in Xi’an were either best friends in junior and senior high, or childhood peers in this small village.

This village was not large. There were hundreds of families living here. This place was located between the Zhongnan Mountains and Xi’an city. It was a rather rich area. Most people here lived in two-floored houses, or even more luxurious mansions. So of them did business or worked as officials in Xi’an. So developed agritainnt at the foot of the Zhongnan Mountains. They had particularly increased turnover in the sumr. And so others developed their business of planting grapes and their relative productions. The Spring Festival was coming, so people working in the city all ca back to their ho village to gather with their families. Quite a lot of cars were parked in front of the houses beside the gates, which were finely decorated.

Huzi told almost everybody that Qin Sheng was back. People were all curious about Qin Sheng’s current situation since he was known for his excellence during his childhood. So before they arrived at Huzi’s house, a lot of villagers and Qin Sheng’s childhood peers had gathered there.

Huzi parked the car and got out. A villager couldn’t wait to ask, “Huzi, where is Qin Sheng? Don’t f*cking lie to us.”

Huzi pointed to the Benz following behind and said proudly, “Third Uncle, no matter what you’re thinking about, just forget it. Do you still want Qin Sheng to be your son-in-law? It has been many years.”

“How dare you, brat? Are you kidding ?” The man had a simple and honest look. He laughed out loud, showing his yellowish teeth. He was not angry. These villagers often kidded or teased each other and, sotis, gossiped for fun.

Another young man said, “Huzi, let him go. Tell us more about Qin Sheng. I haven’t seen him in many years. I was beaten by him a lot when we were kids.”

At this ti, the Benz arrived and stopped. Huzi pointed to the car and said, “There he is. You know, he’s really successful now. He has a Benz and his own driver. Hmph, look at you.”

They heard Huzi’s words and then looked at the car, showing different reactions. So were surprised, so amazed, and so jealous. They all went forward to see Qin Sheng.

“Hmm, so many people. Qin Sheng, you’re really popular in this village.” Qin Ran couldn’t help roasting him.

Qin Sheng didn’t expect that so many people would co. He said proudly, “Of course. I used to be the most handso man in the village. A lot of people talked to Grandpa about a marriage for .”

“I should have known this earlier. Are you greatly bragging?” Qin Ran giggled. She didn’t believe Qin Sheng, knowing that he was kidding with her. But she rather liked chatting with Qin Sheng this way, like all other normal sisters and brothers.

When the car stopped, Qin Sheng and Qin Ran got out of it slowly. They all experienced a lot in their life, especially Qin Ran. She had seen all kinds of scenes before, so this was not too much for her.

So villagers recognized Qin Sheng the mont he got out of the car. They were excited and shouted out, “Qin Sheng! It’s Qin Sheng! He’s back!”

Others also got to recognize Qin Sheng. It was only about five years since Qin Sheng had left, so his appearance didn’t change so much. All the people here were eager to greet him. Qin Sheng was a little bit embarrassed about the feeling of being a superstar.

Qin Sheng was familiar with these villagers. He still rembered all of them. It seed that he went back to his childhood. Qin Sheng greeted everybody. “Hi, Third Uncle, Fourth Auntie, Sixth Brother, Uncle Li. Uncle Wang, are your legs all right?”

The atmosphere there was extrely lively. It seed that there was going to be a wedding. All the villagers smiled with happiness and enthusiasm.

Qin Ran got out of the car after Qin Sheng, and attracted all the attention. People were all trendously amazed since nobody had t such a beautiful young lady like Qin Ran. They stared at her and talked.

So just said loudly, “Qin Sheng, your girlfriend’s brilliant. You’re really good.”

Having been considered to be Qin Sheng’s girlfriend for a second ti, Qin Ran just smiled and got used to this. Huzi explained for Qin Sheng, “Don’t talk f*cking nonsense. This is Qin Sheng’s sister.”

People heard it but only a few of them believed Huzi. It was known to all that Qin Sheng didn’t have any sisters. Maybe they were hiding sothing.

“OK, let’s stop here. It is cold outside. Co to my house. We can talk in a warm place later,” Huzi’s parents, who also stood in the crowd, suggested. They seed to believe that Qin Sheng’s arrival was an honor for their family.

Then they sward into Huzi’s house, filling the room imdiately. It was said that more people were on their way over here.

Qin Sheng and Qin Ran wanted to go downtown, but they couldn’t go now. Endless villagers and childhood peers ca, and they all chatted with Qin Sheng excitedly. So praised Qin Sheng’s success, admiring his progress thanks to studying at the top-ranked university. So asked about Qin Sheng’s experiences these years and worried about him since he seed to disappear. So asked him about his job or business. So also asked whether he had a girlfriend or was married. So said sothing out of jealousy, especially those who looked down upon Qin Sheng and thought that they were better than him.

All kinds of topics with various purposes flooded toward Qin Sheng, who was used to these and good at dealing with those people since he grew up in such a complex environnt.

Qin Ran was even more popular than Qin Sheng. After all, beautiful young ladies were people’s focus everywhere. She was willing to chat with the villagers and ask about Qin Sheng’s childhood. It was the best way for her to know deeper about Qin Sheng’s past. Since such a beautiful young lady was interested in a topic, those villagers almost rushed to the fore to tell her more and were extrely happy when Qin Ran giggled at the stories they told.

They stayed at Qin Sheng’s house for three hours and didn’t leave until they had to. They had a flight to Beijing tomorrow and had so other plans today.

Since people here had not seen Qin Sheng for a couple of years, they had countless things to say and questions to put to him. They were unwilling to let Qin Sheng leave. So people said that Qin Sheng should spend the Spring Festival here. So of his childhood peers said they wanted to hold a party for Qin Sheng.

Qin Sheng knew that these people were really good to him, but he had to go, for he was going to et with Auntie Wang and Xin Xin. He explained to the villagers and expressed his apologies. Qin Ran did the sa as him. Qin Sheng felt that so people’s attitudes changed by his leaving, perhaps thinking that he was a successful man now and didn’t want to spend ti with them. But Qin Sheng didn’t bother to care about these people.

Huzi’s parents knew that Qin Sheng had to leave and said at least he should have dinner in their ho.

Qin Sheng was willing to stay longer and chat more with them. But he had a tight schedule this ti, so he had no choice but to refuse Huzi’s parents.

The others finally gave up on trying to persuade Qin Sheng to stay and saw the two of them off with disappointnt.

At the gate, Qin Sheng held Huzi’s hands and said, “Huzi, I’m really busy this ti. I hope people understand . I’m not looking down upon anybody. I’ll stay in Xi’an for a long ti next year. We’ll definitely et then.”

“All right. Everybody will understand you. As for those who don’t, forget about them,” Huzi said thoughtfully.

Qin Sheng felt relieved and patted Huzi’s shoulder. “Huzi, I’ve given you my phone number. Keep in touch. You know, I was born and grew up here. I was helped by people here. So no matter where I go or what I beco, I’ll never forget that I am rooted here. If anything happens in the village, call . I’ll co to help.”

“Hahaha, of course. I’ll keep it in mind,” Huzi answered firmly.

Qin Sheng enjoined Huzi about sothing else and then said goodbye to the villagers. “Everybody, I’m sorry. I have to leave now. Please forgive . I’ll co back to see you next year.”

Most villagers waved their arms and said goodbye to Qin Sheng kindly. Though so were unhappy with Qin Sheng, he didn’t care at all. Qin Ran looked at these and kept it all in her mind.

Qin Sheng and Qin Ran finally got in the car. They rolled down the window and waved farewell until the car turned to the highway.

Qin Sheng didn’t plan to go back to the village. This accidental eting gave him complex feelings. His childhood peers had all changed a lot. So experienced ups, so downs, and so both. They were finally shaped into totally different persons by the power of life.

They used to care about nothing, hunting bunnies on the mountain, fishing in the river, and playing hide-and-seek in the forest. But the sufferings given by life rotted their original innocence, making them sophisticated and numb. This route, however, was part of everyone’s life. As it was with Qin Sheng. He was not the innocent child anymore.

Qin Sheng had special emotional connections with this place and the people here. He finally led a smooth life now. If he went back to Xi’an, he would often co to visit the people here. He was born here. If he just disappeared, those villagers would gossip about his dead grandpa, for his grandson had beco successful and forgotten his origin.

His grandpa in heaven might not care about this, but Qin Sheng did. His grandfather rested here. He had the responsibility to protect their family’s reputation.

“Don’t think too much. You can never satisfy everyone.” Qin Ran noticed that Qin Sheng’s mind was wandering, so she held his hand to comfort him. She thought that Qin Sheng felt uncomfortable because of so villagers’ harsh comnts.

Qin Sheng’s mind then returned, but he just smiled and said, “I’m all right, sis. They didn’t an it. I’ve gotten used to these since my childhood.”

“That’ll be fine.” Qin Ran felt quite relieved.

Qin Sheng smoothed his emotions and thoughts, putting himself in a good ntal state. Now, he was going to do sothing really important.
