Chapter 8 A Dog Loses His Mind
Zhao Liumao lay on the bed for two days, and on the third day, he suddenly felt a little more energetic, and he asked Ah Gou to open the window and help him get up and look outside. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info snow has not yet melted, a pile in the east, a pinch in the west, in vain, the coming year will be a good year.
"Dog, come here."
"Daddy—"
Zhao Liumao still remembers the situation on the night he picked up the dog, he looked at the dog carefully, although it was not his own, but the dog's eyebrows and eyes were somewhat similar to him. Providence, providence! Zhao Liumao carefully dressed Ah Gou, wiped his little face and hands for him, and explained: "Ah Dog, Daddy is afraid that it will not work, and it will depend on you in the future!" ”
Ah Gou already knew what life was and what death was, so he hugged Zhao Liumao in fear and cried: "Daddy, don't go!" Daddy, don't go! Daddy, don't go-"
"Don't cry, Dog, listen to what Daddy says, ah?"
"Hmm-" Where can the dog bear it, his back twitches and twitches, and every time he pulls it, it seems to exhaust the strength of his whole body, and it looks very pitiful. Zhao Liumao's heart was extremely painful, he didn't give this baby a good day, and now he had to leave him. Zhao Liumao turned his eyes, stroked Ah Gou's back and said softly: "Ah Dog is good, Ah Dog is obedient, Ah Dog don't cry-"
"Uh-ah, uh-huh!"
"Master Zhu doesn't like people to cry, after Daddy leaves, Ah Dog must listen to Master Zhu, work more, don't be lazy!"
"Dog knows!"
"If someone gives you a reward, Master Zhu will give it to him if he sees it, if he doesn't see it, you will put it away, hide it so that others don't see it, and don't let others know, no one can say it, you know?"
"Know—know!"
"If the wife and the young master scold you, don't be silent, you will eat whatever you are given to eat, there is still some food in this house, and you can live a few days alone. Ah dog, Daddy whispered to you, Daddy hid money under this bed, it's under Daddy's buttocks, you can dig up the soil to know, but you can't tell anyone, no one can, you must remember! ”
"Dog remember—"
"Also, you can't take out the money until you have to, it's for Daddy to marry your daughter-in-law, and Daddy has been saving it!" Zhao Liumao explained the method of withdrawing money to Ah Gou in detail, and repeatedly asked him about the things he confessed, but Ah Gou did not remember any mistakes, so he was relieved.
"Ah Dog has to be strong alone, don't cry, don't be unproductive like Dad, you know?"
"Hmm-"
That night, Zhao Liumao went, Ah Gou hugged Daddy's gradually cold body and was at a loss, until the next morning, Dr. Huang came over and pulled him away from Zhao Liumao's body: "Poor child! ”
Zhao Laotie overdid things when he was young, he didn't leave a brother or sister to Zhao Liumao, Zhao Liumao died and had no relatives, Zhu Fugui bought a thin coffin with the salary that Zhao Liumao hadn't had time to withdraw, and Zhao Liumao was collected, which can be regarded as fulfilling his promise to his father and never drive out the Zhao father and son.
Zhao Liumao was a good person before his death, he never blushed with anyone and was evil, and his hands and feet were diligent, and the tea customers in the teahouse in the past and now the wine customers in the tavern like him. They are all from the villagers, and many people came on the day when Zhao Liumao went to the soil, and whispered how Zhao Liumao was good, God is really unfair, and such a good person said that it was gone. Alas, that baby is also pitiful.
Ah Gou couldn't hear what others were saying, he only knew that he would never see Daddy again when the shovel was covered with dirt, and no one would treat him as a liver baby again. He remembered Daddy's words, Master Zhu doesn't like people to cry, he doesn't cry, he promised Daddy to be obedient! Manly words count! Ah Gou knelt there motionless, watching Daddy's coffin disappear little by little, he didn't cry or make trouble, as if he was stupid, and worried everyone. Zhu Fugui went up and slapped Ah Gou twice, Ah Gou felt a hot pain on his face, and his heart was empty, he gritted his teeth and held back his tears or didn't cry.
Zhu Fugui shouted: "Cry! ”
"Daddy—ah—"
After Zhao Liumao's first seven days, Zhu Fugui came to bring Ah Gou back to the Fugui Tavern, the house was too dilapidated, Ah Gou, a child there, Zhu Fugui would make people poke their backbones. There was no room in the backyard of the tavern for Ah Gou, so Zhu Fugui threw the two broken quilts into the firewood room and said to Ah Gou: "You can sleep here!" ”
"Thank you, Master!"
Zhu has a lot of opinions on this matter, the old nun has died a long time ago, if she is so effective-why didn't she find a good family for this baby earlier? Zhu only allowed Ah Gou to live in the tavern until the beginning of spring, and after spring, he had to go back to his old house, Zhu Fugui didn't make a sound, let his mother-in-law make noise, and Zhu stopped when he saw that he didn't get better. Zhu Jinbao was unexpectedly very polite to Ah Gou, as long as someone came to do the work - Ah Cat and Dog, just don't let him do it!
After the spring, the tavern's business improved, and Ah Gou was often busy until late, so he didn't go back to his dilapidated house, but stayed in the firewood room of the Fugui Tavern. The female dog in the butcher shop gave birth to a litter of cubs, and Zhu Fugui went to pick one up, but the soil was yellow, but there was a white spot on his back that looked like a plum blossom. Zhu Fugui called it Ah Huang, it shouldn't, Ah Dog called it Huahua, so he shook his head and threw himself at Ah Gou, so angry that Zhu Fugui scolded the ungrateful dog. Zhu Jinbao didn't think there was anything, anyway, the dog was just a caretaker, what was called was not the same, what did his father care about the name of the dog!
When Ah Dog was a little free, summer came, and he went back to see the two old houses left by Daddy, grass grew in the hall, no one took care of the front and back of the house, and there were a lot of weeds growing in the vegetable field, but those spicy plants grew very well. Ah Gou looked under the bed, no one had come, he put the house away, and came back with the bed the next day. What he didn't expect was that Huahua also came back with him, and he couldn't get rid of him, and Zhu Fugui was so angry that he blew his beard and glared at him - he, Zhu Fugui, who didn't give some face in Wutang Village, was actually underestimated by a dog, telling him how not to be angry.
Although the house is broken, it is the dog's home in the end. Ah Gou was lying on the bed where Daddy used to lie, and tears wet the pillow in his dream.
Huahua Sunrise followed Ah Gou to the tavern to work, and Sunset followed Ah Gou back from the tavern, rain or shine, Zhu Jinbao couldn't keep the meat and bones. Every time it rains heavily, a man and a dog huddle on the bed, you look at me, I look at you. Suddenly, Ah Gou laughed, and Huahua barked, and there was more comfort in the lonely night.
Zhu Jinbao didn't have a long memory to tease Huahua again, Huahua drooped her head and looked at him, so angry that Jinbao scolded: "Hey, you guy who looks down on people!" ”
After scolding for a while, Zhu Jinbao frowned and thought about it, and when he looked up, he saw Ah Gou squatting in the corner laughing, raised his hand and threw the bones that were not in the meat residue, and scolded: "Little rabbit, don't hurry up and work, you will be beaten in a while!" ”
Ah Gou got up, Hua Hua also followed, Zhu Jinbao glared at Ah Gou a few times, took the jar of wine from the shelf and went to find his gang of dog meat friends.
In autumn, Zhu suffered a little cold and couldn't afford to get sick. Although Zhu Fugui turned the teahouse into a tavern, he still has to go out to pick some good tea every year. This time Zhu Fugui came back from picking tea, followed by a little girl, who was one year younger than a dog, and looked timid, Zhu Fugui said that he bought it from someone, and when he got home, he threw her to his mother-in-law. The little girl is called Lotus, Zhu doesn't like this name and wants to change it, but the lotus, who has always been silent, resolutely refuses, saying that it is the name given to her by her mother, and no one can change it. The Zhu family wanted to beat her, but Zhu Fugui helped: "Isn't it just a name, everyone is called by you, what do you care about a false name?" ”
