Chapter 10 Simple lunch break on the grassland

It was almost noon, and Ma Hongxia came over on time to prepare a meal for her parents and stayed to eat together.

At the dinner table, Erdemutu asked: Hongxia, what level can your family’s animal husbandry income reach this year?

Hongxia: Dad, it’s not bad. There aren’t many lambs picked up this year, and your uncle is thinking about improving the breed and replacing the poor quality sheep with better ones. As for the net income, there is no statistics yet.

, I guess the ones that can improve the varieties will be good, and at most they can be regarded as a capital guarantee.

Erdemutu: Oh, it’s good to improve breeds. As the saying goes, “Horses that are well fed will be strong, and people who work well will be rich.” You should also pay attention to it.

Hongxia: Yes, your uncle is also quite capable.

Erdemutu: That’s good.

"Dad, do you have something to tell me when you ask these questions?" Hongxia suddenly realized that her father might have something to say, because he rarely talked to her about animal husbandry income.

Erdemutu smiled and said: No, just asking casually.

In fact, Erdemutu was testing his eldest daughter's words. He thought that if Hongxia's family had a good income this year, he would borrow some money from her to help Ajinai buy a motorcycle. Hongxia would pay the bills.

Once it was made clear, it was hard for him to open his mouth.

After lunch, Hongxia finished cleaning up and went back. The old couple started to take a nap.

…………

The village was very boring at noon. People were sleeping, dogs were wilting, but some annoying insects were chirping endlessly. Gao Shuzhen had something on her mind and couldn't sleep, so she took advantage of her husband Tian Fa's sleep to secretly pick up a piece of

The curtain began to be embroidered. In the past two days, she did not dare to embroider in front of her husband, because he always thought that she was not doing well in embroidery and was wasting things.

…………

At this time, the scorching sun was blazing on the vast and endless grassland, and it was extremely difficult to find a shade. She could not rely on her hands alone, so Toya raised her coat to shield Asgen from the sun. Her son had already fallen asleep, and it was hard to get up in the morning.

It was too early, and the Lele car was rocking like a cradle. Could he not be sleepy?

In order to rush for time, the so-called lunch was served in Lele's car. It was just some dry food. Fortunately, Toya was thoughtful enough to bring a pot of milk tea, otherwise she would have "choked". Asgen didn't eat much.

, the excitement at the beginning was gone, and he fell asleep in a daze. At this moment, Aginai regretted letting his son follow him. He had indeed suffered a lot along the way.

Finally, he saw a tall tree by the river in front of him. Aginai gave his horse a whip, and soon he was in front of the tall tree.

After stopping the car, Aginai turned around and said: Everyone, please take a rest.

Toya was so sleepy that she couldn't open her eyes, and her arms were sore from raising them, so of course she agreed to the proposal.

Aginai parked the car under the shade of a tree, unloaded the red horse that pulled the cart, put the cart back in place, and said to Toya: You sleep in the car for a while, and I will let the horses go by and go to the river.

Drink them.

Toya didn't even have the energy to answer him, so she fell asleep.

Aginai did not rest after settling the two horses. He picked up the sickle on the car and went to the river to cut a few thick branches of willows. He leaned under the big tree to repair them. From time to time he looked up at the sun, and according to the shade of the tree,

I moved the car gently at any time to ensure that my wife and son were not directly exposed to the sun. "Xiri" panted with its big mouth open and its long tongue. It also knew how to bask in the sun, and adjusted its resting position as the shadows moved.

Location.

Several river willow branches were repaired by Aginai until they were smooth. He gestured around on the car and selected the positions before fixing them with ropes.

It turned out that Aginai used these branches to build a shelf.

After finishing all this, Aginai went to the riverside to bring back the grazing horse. He did not wake up Toya and Asgen, and carefully began to hitch the carriage.

As soon as the car's shaft fell together, Toya was still shaken awake. She found that there was an extra shelf on the car, and she didn't know what it was for.

Aginai sped up the speed of setting up the car. Then he unrolled a cloth sheet that was spread on the car, put it on a rack and fixed it, so that Lele's car had a sunshade carport.

Toya repeatedly praised Aginai for being so smart, and this trick was really brilliant. Aginai smiled naively and said, "It's my fault that I didn't think of it earlier. I'll clean it up and make it stronger when we get to the pasture point."

The Lele car staggered on the road again. Asgen was still sleeping soundly. This time Toya had her arms freed and felt a lot more relaxed.

…………

After waking up at noon and having nothing to do, Erdemutu sat on the kang playing cards to kill time.

Narentuya went to the barn and saw the beans her wife had picked in the morning. She was so angry - it was as if she had not picked the beans. She knew that it was useless to yell at the old man, so she brought the dustpan into the house and threw it on the kang, feeling angry that she had picked the beans herself.

Got up.

Erdemutu glanced at his wife and found that she was expressionless and ignored him, so he secretly smiled.

At this time, someone outside the house shouted, "Is Toya at home?" Erdemutu leaned against the window and looked out. Narentuya was still lowering his head to pick the sand out of the beans, but she didn't hear him.

Erdemutu shouted to the outside: Come in!

Narentuya was still indifferent, Erdemutu stretched out his hand and stabbed her, shouting: Someone is coming, go and take a look.

Before Naren Tuya could get off the kang, Gao Shuzhen walked in with a small cloth bag.

Naren Tuya quickly went to the ground to put on her shoes and greeted her warmly: "It's Shuzhen. You're so idle, please sit down quickly."

The visitor is Gao Shuzhen, who lives in the back street. She is a Han who married from a foreign country. Her husband, Tian Fa, is one of the few Han people in Sarentai Gacha. Tian Fa originally followed his father to seek refuge with relatives and came to Sarentai to make a living.

He was only a teenager at the time. Of course, Tian Fa's father was interested in the rich pastures here. Raising sheep, cattle and horses could guarantee harvests despite droughts and floods. He basically did not rely on the weather for a living, but was more reliable than farming, so he settled here. Time

As soon as he grew up, Tian Fa integrated into Sarentai and learned to speak Mongolian.

When Gao Shuzhen was first introduced to Hotan Fa's partner, she knew that he was of Han nationality and was very smart. He also had a ranch at home and the conditions were good. After getting married, she discovered for the first time that Tian Fa was able to talk Mongolian with the people in Gachali.

During the exchange, Gao Shuzhen was so surprised that she made a fuss and said that Tian Fa had lied to her.

Tian Fa had no choice but to take out the household registration book again and show her the ethnic column on it. The word "Han" was written neatly on it, and Gao Shuzhen stopped making trouble.

Seeing that Tian Fa had coaxed his wife, he felt more energetic and asked questions like a barrage: What's wrong with me if I were Mongolian? Who do you look down on? If I speak a few words in Mongolian, why would you make such a fuss?

Gao Shuzhen was also embarrassed and said: I don't care what nationality you are, I'm just worried that you will lie to me.

"Does it make sense for me to lie to you?" Tian Fa is very unreasonable.

Gao Shuzhen's eyes widened and she said two words - get out!

Tian Fa came up to his wife with a playful smile and said, "Don't be angry. I was just joking with you. How could I dare to scold you? You need to lend me some courage."

Gao Shuzhen: Then we have agreed that as long as I am present, you cannot speak Mongolian, because I can’t understand it. If you say bad things about me in Mongolian, I will treat it as good words.

Tian Fa raised his hand and assured: No problem.

Gao Shuzhen: Moreover, if you negotiate the price with someone in Mongolian and sell me, I will have to count the money for you stupidly.

Tian Fa: Absolutely impossible. Who would be willing to sell such a good wife?

"Really?" Gao Shuzhen was a little proud.

Tian Fa: Of course, even if I am willing to sell it, who will buy it? It’s a waste of money for me!
