Boss Liu went home for the New Year.

The pace of 2008 is getting closer and closer, and people's hearts are in chaos, and the whole village is in an uproar. The main factor is that there are too many people returning home. Mao from the east of the village, Xiao Er from the west of the village, and Jun from the village head's family are all back. To everyone's surprise, the dog doll, the big boss in the big city, came back, along with her adoptive mother, Aunt Liu.

Gewa is not a nobody now, but a famous boss in Fiona Fang. Everyone can often see him on TV. There are many bosses, but not many can often be on TV. Baby dog must be rich. Everyone firmly believes in this. While firmly believing, I feel that the big boss dog baby will never come back. He abandoned the small mountain village where he grew up. Who knows, this year's wind actually blew him back.

After the neighbors chattered about the news, they all ran to see Aunt Liu's yard. More is a close look at the big boss, dog baby. People of the same age who grew up with dog dolls are sighing in their hearts. It always feels a little unreal to play with a big dog doll from childhood and become a big boss in a million.

As soon as everyone entered the gate, the three brick bungalows were somewhat dilapidated, and the wall paint peeled off, revealing a large area of cement. The door panel cracked in the wind and sun, the glass was covered with dust, the wooden window swayed in the wind, the rusty embolus was crumbling, and the grape trellis was gone. Weeds drilled from cracks in cement on the ground are swaying in yellow, as if to say, this is my place.

Several young people are tidying up the yard, but unfortunately they are clumsy, holding the shovel in the wrong posture, and the shovel's action is even more irregular. Everyone who has been doing farm work all his life can't wait to demonstrate. However, their tall and straight bodies and brand-new clothes make everyone dare not expect anything, so they can only quietly sort out their clothes and try to straighten up.

Dogway, who was once born and raised like them, was dressed neatly, with a straight back, and was walking around the yard with Aunt Liu. Aunt Liu pointed to the east and didn't know what to say. The dog nodded frequently as he answered. Aunt Liu pointed to the west and said something. The dog looked up and attracted one of the young people to say a few words. ...

Aunt Liu's hair has turned white. Yes, after all, he is an old man in his eighties. She was just over 70 when she left the mountain village. However, she looked good and pointed to the vegetable garden and said, "Bao, why isn't there any parsley and spinach in this field I planted?"

"Coriander and spinach are all at home, have you forgotten?" The dog baby answered in time.

"Look at my memory. When you get older, your memory will be bad. " Aunt Liu lowered her head impatiently.

Hearing this, everyone froze. Look at me and I'll look at you.

At this time, the dog baby found everyone and quickly went forward to say hello: "Aunt Li, Uncle Gao, Aunt Jia, hello."

"Hello, Boss Liu." Everyone is a little shy and should learn to say hello to intellectuals.

Dear uncles and aunts, please call me a dog. Gowa quickly showed his attitude.

As soon as this sentence came out, everyone's face was a relaxed smile. He said noisily, "I know that dog doll or that dog doll."

"Gouwa, what are you-"

"Uncle Gao, I brought my mother back for the New Year."

"Really? That's great. " Aunt Li said happily that the expression on her face suddenly came alive. Aunt Li and Aunt Liu have been friends for decades and have always been sisters. For more than ten years, they have been talking about Aunt Liu who is in a foreign country.

"Liu, welcome you home for the New Year." Aunt Li said, and quickly walked beside Aunt Liu, grabbed her hand and shook it.

Aunt Liu pulled out her hand stiffly, turned to look at the baby dog and asked, "Bao, who is she?"

"I'm Ping Li, Lao Liu. Don't you know me?" Aunt Li said anxiously that her voice was dozens of times louder.

Aunt Liu still stared at the dog doll with a look of waiting for a while.

Baby dog took Aunt Liu's hand and said, "Mom, where is this?"

"Maocun, my hometown, we are back for the New Year!"

"Yes, I'm your best friend, Aunt Li from Maocun." Doug Wei gave Aunt Liu's hand to Aunt Li.

Aunt Liu blinked several times and said, "Ping Li, how old is your second child this year?"

Aunt Li and everyone froze again. What happened?

The dog baby quietly told Grandpa Gao behind him: "My mother's brain is shrinking, and her forgetfulness is particularly serious this year."

Everyone gave a chorus of "Ah" and then sighed in unison.

Speaking of this kung fu, several young people have quickly packed their bags. Into the house, with the appearance of home.

"Doyle, did you invite them?"

"No, they are employees of our company, and their hometown is not far from our village. This Xiao Wang is from Liucun, five miles away from our village, and that Xiao Li is from Mangcun, the east end of our village. Besides, this is Yang Lu in our village. Do you know him? Come back together in the New Year and give me a hand. "

Many people work very hard, so hot meals are also laid out. Baby dog told everyone to sit down and eat. Everyone said they ate, but you ate, but your eyes were wide open, just to see what the rich people ate.

The result was a bit disappointing. They are all vegetarian dishes, and the staple food is actually oat noodle rolls and wowotou.

"Big boss eats so vegetarian." Jia Yi muttered.

"Maybe it's because it's too late, a simple dinner prepared in a hurry." Uncle Gao looked clear and explained in a low voice.

Shortly after dinner, several young people left one after another. The moon climbed the hillside, and the lights reflected every window. For the first time in more than a decade, the light in Aunt Liu's yard made up for the only black hole in the village and made this small village look perfect. Smoke from the chimney wafts around the village with the wind, which seems to be greeting Aunt Liu, more like announcing that I am back, I am back.

The big boss who is used to living in air-conditioned rooms in big cities is still used to the fireworks stoves in this small mountain village ... I heard that the daughter and son of Gouwa have gone abroad to study, and the daughter-in-law also went abroad to see the children during the Spring Festival holiday. How far is it to go abroad? What a beautiful word ... It seems that there are hundreds of miles between going abroad and cooking. ...

In the small mountain village late at night, many people discussed the above topics on the heatable adobe sleeping platform.

Aunt Liu, who is sick, is awake and confused for a while. When you are awake, you can call out the names of every villager very clearly. When I am confused, I can only think of one name, Bao Er.

Compassion is the most indispensable thing in rural areas. Aunt Liu's generation is now grandparents, not the main labor force in the family, and has more free time. Since Aunt Liu came home, all her spare time has been spent in Aunt Liu's yard.

In the morning, everyone said silly things with confused Aunt Liu.

"When I went to the market to sell eggs yesterday, I met Zhang San from Jia Cun," said Aunt Liu. The confused Aunt Liu went back to the past.

"Yes, eggs are our way of making money." Jia Yi said along the topic.

"My home is Bao Er, and I study very well. This time I am the first in my class. " Aunt Liu's tone is full of pride.

"Yes, your dog always comes first." Aunt Li said.

……

There are a group of elderly men and women in the yard, accompanying Aunt Liu to recreate the scene decades ago. The nagging in the room is the sound of boss Liu constantly answering the phone and calling.

"Manager Liang, this project needs to be confirmed again years ago."

"Accountant Zhang, are everyone's bonuses in place?"

"President Chen, about the concierge New Year condolences?

……

Outside the window, there is a fiery smell of fireworks everywhere.

This afternoon, Aunt Liu woke up, accompanied by Boss Liu, and went from house to house to deliver gifts.

Anxious Uncle Gao pushed Boss Liu away and brought him a bottle of hard liquor. Bazaar took a sip, narrowed her eyes and blinked slowly. After a few seconds, he said with great emotion, "Good wine, good wine, the dog baby is just right."

"Not bad-"Aunt Li narrowed her eyes as if she had discovered a big secret.

Uncle Gao and Jia Yi both asked anxiously, "What did you find? Tell me quickly. "

"We are not always going to see liu these days? I noticed that Lao Liu ate corn flour, pea flour, naked oats flour, all kinds of vegetables and little meat every day. You two say, is this normal? "

"Now that you mention it, it's true. I was a little strange at the time, but I didn't find anything unusual? " Wei Jia said.

"Gouwa this boy, won't be mei wear conscience, abusive liu! How did he grow up, remember? " Uncle Gao's voice suddenly rose again.

This sentence takes everyone back to the spring decades ago. Aunt Liu was a beautiful daughter-in-law in her thirties. Everyone affectionately calls her Liu Ni. She has been married to her husband Sanwa for five or six years, but she has no children.

Early that morning, before dawn, the figure was gray and I couldn't see clearly. Liu Ni and Sanwa were awakened by the children's crying.

When the couple walked out of the yard, they saw a basket covered with a small flower in the corner. The cry came from under the little flower quilt.

Liu Ni carefully lifted the quilt, and a baby appeared, blushing and crying desperately, crying with wrinkled eyes and dancing hands and feet. ...

Looking at it, Liu Ni was very happy. She looked at her husband and said, "Let's keep the child!"

From then on, Liu Ni became the mother, the mother of the little boy and the dog.

Unfortunately, when Doug Wei was eight years old, Sanwa helped her relatives build a house and fell off the beam and died.

Three days later, Sanwa was buried.

One night after half a year, Chen, the most nosy person in the village, was sitting on the heatable adobe sleeping platform with a pipe. At first, he smoked a few cigarettes, and then he said, "Liu Ni, you are alone now. Some words, although said a little early, are all facts in front of us. You are still young, and you will definitely get married again in the future. At that time, the baby dog will be a burden. Aren't there four girls in Zhang Shitou, east of the village? He wants to adopt a baby dog, which is also suitable for me. "

"Uncle Chen, how poor Zhang Shi's boss is. M-girls was dressed in rags and refused to study. Is he willing to let the dog baby learn? " Liu Ni expressed her point of view with a rising question.

"Then, send the dog doll back to his mother," Chen pointed.

"His mother is married and he has children. As an unmarried child, I am afraid that he will be looked down upon. "

"Liu Ni, why don't you understand my heart? Liu Cun's Geng Xiaohuo visited me three times. It's not that he doesn't like your marriage, but he doesn't want to help others raise children ... "

"I don't want to live with him yet. I will live with the dog baby all my life. " Liu Ni said firmly.

"Alas, Liu Ni, you are still young, and you don't know how deep the water of life is. What you regret is still behind. " Chen shook his head and left with regret.

Did Liu Ni regret it later? Everyone doesn't know, except that early the next morning, Liu Ni cut off two braids that had followed him for many years and walked into the farmland with short ear-length hair.

Liu Ni, she became a middle-aged woman in a year, and she learned all the field work that many men do. But she is a little different from the people in the village. Anyway, she asked the dog to learn. The sound of reading in the morning is a unique scenery in the mountain village.

Gouwa went to the village to study in junior high school.

Gouwa went to the county seat to attend high school.

Gouwa went to the provincial capital to go to college.

On the night when the first college student in the mountain village was born, Liu Ni sat in front of Sanwa's portrait until late at night.

College students' dog dolls are also very competitive. After graduating from college, she stayed in a big city and became a big boss. But now the big boss seems to be not very nice to Aunt Liu.

After discussion, the three decided to continue observation in the next few days. If the dogs are really asleep, they must help poor Aunt Liu get justice.

It's dinner time again. Uncle Gao, Aunt Li and Aunt Jia finished their meals early and rushed to Aunt Liu's house. Just in time. Aunt Liu's small dining table has just been opened, and the baby dog is serving dishes.

When you look at it, it's all vegetarian dishes, cold bitter gourd, vinegar-soaked cabbage, roasted spinach, steamed sweet potato, staple food or wowotou.

Aunt Liu ate for a while and said, "Bao, I want to eat meat."

"You eat these dishes first, and I'll get the meat."

The meat taken out by the baby dog is a small piece, which is not enough for people to plug their teeth. He has a plate in his left hand, and there are some small apples in it.

As soon as Aunt Liu saw it, she immediately said, "I want to eat meat."

"You eat these apples first and I'll give you meat."

"No, I don't like fruit. I want meat. "

"If you don't eat apples, you won't eat meat." Dog dolls pretend to eat meat.

Aunt Liu pouted like a child and immediately picked up the apple and put it in her mouth.

"That's great." Dogway touched Aunt Liu's head and handed the meat. Aunt Liu ate a few mouthfuls and finished eating, saying:

"I still want to eat."

"No, I'll buy it tomorrow." Doug Wei said while eating, and the pressure in his tone stung Uncle Gao's nerves.

"Gouwa, you are too stingy? Your mother just wants some meat. Can't you afford it? Have you forgotten how you grew up as a child? What a conscience! " Uncle Du was furious.

"Why did you scold me, Bao Er? Bao er has finished eating and is going to school. " Aunt Liu will come right away and stand in front of the dog baby.

"Gouwa, you see your mother is so confused and still protects you. Be a person with a conscience. " Aunt Li also made a noise.

"No matter how big the business is, if it is not filial to the elderly, the sky will be taken back." Jia Yi couldn't help it.

Dogway didn't refute, turned around, took out a piece of paper from his bag and handed it to three people who had just grown old. I saw a piece of paper that said:

Several people looked down for a long time, then looked up at each other, or Uncle Gao spoke first: "Dogway, what do you mean by showing us this?"

"Uncle and aunt, let's go out and talk." Gouwa took the lead out of the door.

"Aunt uncles, it's not that I don't want my mother to eat meat. As you know, my mother has suffered, and meat is her favorite, but her body doesn't allow it. "

"Why not?" Aunt Li asked.

"She has diabetes."

"Diabetes?" No, my uncle couldn't help glancing at Aunt Liu with his eyes and continued, "Diabetes is a disease of the rich. How did your mother get it? "

"Maybe in order to feed me, I used to work in the fields and work as a coolie ... hungry and unorganized lifestyle. My mother's illness, the doctor said mainly depends on raising, that is, diet coordination. "

"So, now-"Jia Yi asked.

"I just came back for an inspection, and the indicators are all within the controllable range. The doctor also praised our good maintenance and said that there has not been much development in the past ten years. "

"Well, you are much better now. Lao Liu should have enjoyed himself, but he got the disease. No, it's two diseases. " Aunt Li wiped her eyes.

"Yes, God sometimes keeps his eyes open. My mother's diabetes is not bad, but there are more and more sequelae caused by brain atrophy. I'm afraid she won't recognize me when she wakes up. Therefore, this year, she was still awake occasionally, and brought her back the next year. "

"Gouwa, you are a good boy with a conscience. Your mother doesn't love you for nothing. " Uncle Gao patted the dog's shoulder heavily and said.

"My mother loves me, I know. I love my mother too, very much. " Daowei stood upright and said word by word, as if she had dug it out of her heart.

It's the Spring Festival in a blink of an eye, and everyone has moved the New Year's Eve dinner to the dog baby's yard, and all of them are vegetarian dishes.

On this day, Aunt Liu was seldom awake all day, and she was happy from ear to ear all day.

People's laughter and the clash of glasses constitute the most beautiful music, which interweaves into a largest and densest net over the mountain village, and travelers can see and feel it no matter how far away from home.

The mountain village is still beautiful tonight, as beautiful as warm sunshine.
