Chapter 15 The Yurt at Dusk
The smoke from the yurt was rising, and the fragrance of the dinner prepared by Matoya was already wafting in the air. She took a moment to lean against the door of the yurt, once again focused on the real reality in front of her, and shouted with love: Asgen, good son
, stop making trouble, you are scaring the sheep.
Asgen was having so much fun that he didn't even hear his mother's gentle reproach.
The sheep were finally driven into the sheepfold. Aginai jumped off the horse and closed the door of the sheepfold. Then he took off the saddle and put it away, and tied the white horse to the wooden stake.
The sun is almost setting. The clouds in the sky, the mountains in the distance, the nearby grasslands and everything around them are dyed with a layer of gold.
The vast grassland has quieted down, but the lively atmosphere inside and outside the yurt is increasing.
The horses snorted, the sheep bleated one after another, and the chirping of grasshoppers and other grasshoppers was more like an ensemble. "Xiri" joined in the fun, "barking" a few times from time to time.
"Hari" didn't pay attention to this, but found a high ground, squatted there and looked around.
Yes, "Xiri" always wants to get close to "Hari", but "Hari" doesn't give him any face. This makes "Xiri" very embarrassed, so he has to gather around his little master Asgen, praying for caresses and looking for him.
The dignity of a "dog clan".
Toya took out the washbasin and shouted: Asgen, come on, wash your hands. Seeing how messed up you are, I won't let you eat until you wash it for a while.
Asgen then let go of "Xiri" and ran to wash his hands. In order to show his mother that he was hygienic, he also made an exception and took the initiative to wash his face. The little "couple" was so effective that he immediately won Toya's praise.
Asgen smiled proudly at "Xiri" and showed off that he "needs brains to do things".

After Arkinai arranged everything, he walked towards the yurt with the flickering candlelight. He looked up at the wind turbine and shook his head helplessly.
There is no wind, and the wind turbine has become a kind of decoration. In the past, when I was alone, it didn't matter whether there was electricity or not, and it made no difference to turn on the lights and turn them off. Even if the lights were bright, the person who was shining was still alone. But it is different today.
The family of three gathered together for the first time in the yurt in Mudian. It was just when light was needed, but there was no wind on the grassland, which was really disappointing.
The sun reluctantly set on the other side of the mountain, putting the last ray of light into a dark bag. The grassland darkened, and the smell of night became stronger.
Akinai glanced at the wind turbine again with a bad look, and cursed in his heart: You wasteful thing, you really don’t give me face!
It was not just the wind turbines that went down at the critical moment, but also the big yellow dog "Xiri".
After Asgen washed his face and prepared to enter the yurt, "Xiri" also followed in arrogantly. How could the small space of the yurt allow him to act unscrupulously? Toya's scolding frightened "Xiri" and ran out quickly, but Asgen was
Gen's washbasin knocked over and water spilled all over it. "Xiri" was agitated by the water, frightened, and ran up the hillside as if desperately trying to survive.
As soon as Asgen saw "Xiri" running out, he shouted "'Xiri' - 'Xiri' -" and followed closely behind.
How could a child catch up with a crazy dog? "Xiri" disappeared into the darkness. Aginai ran over and picked up his son, but he struggled and shouted to find "Xiri".
Akinai: You go back to the yurt and wait while dad goes to find you.
Asgen disagreed and insisted on following. Toya came out of the yurt and was about to lose her temper. When she saw her son's anxious look, she patiently comforted him: Asgen, "Xiri" will not run far away.
, it’s scared even when it’s so dark outside, and when it gets scared, it comes back on its own. Son, be obedient and ask your dad to find it, and we’ll just wait here.
Asgen: Mom, will "Xiri" really come back?
Toya: Yes, mom won’t lie to you. It was just frightened and will definitely come back soon. It won’t want to leave you.
Akinai took the opportunity to call "Hari" and walked into the darkness with a flashlight.
"Hari" is a smart shepherd dog. He knew his owner's intention and ran straight out. After a while, "Hari" used some method to actually bring "Xiri" back.
When Asgen, who was waiting at the door of the yurt, saw "Xiri", he rushed up and hugged her. This time, all the water on "Xiri" was "transferred" to him. Toya
He was so angry that he didn't want to ruin the cozy yurt dinner, so he took off all his clothes and soaked them in the basin. Since he didn't have any change of clothes for his son, Asgen had no choice but to attend the "dinner" naked.
Already.
…………
Since the wind level on the grassland was too low during this period, the battery of the wind turbine could not store much electricity, so candles came in handy. In addition to the original one, Toya deliberately lit an extra one during the meal. She likes to be bright and bright.
The feeling represents the pursuit and desire for a better life. A candlelight dinner in a grassland yurt began in this warm and happy atmosphere.
Although the dinner was not sumptuous, compared to the meals that Aginai usually cooked alone, it was really like a Chinese New Year.
Asgen, who was naked, picked up the chopsticks and was about to pick up the food. Toya held him down and pointed at Aginai. Asgen blushed.
Aginai: If your child is hungry, just eat first.
Toya: No, this is the rule.
Aginai sat down next to Asgen, touched his son's head, picked up some vegetables and fed him a bite.
Asgen pointed to the plate and said: I want to eat meat.
"Little greedy cat." Aginai said, choosing a large piece of meat and feeding it to his son.
Toya was just about to sit down to eat when she seemed to suddenly remember something. She stood up and took out a plastic jug from a cupboard, poured a glass of wine and brought it to Aginai.
Aginai took it with both hands and took a fragrant sip without putting it on the table.
Toya put vegetables into the bowl for her son, but Asgen picked out a piece of meat and threw it to the big yellow dog "Xiri" outside the door. Then he looked at his mother and stuck out his tongue.
Akinai dipped his chopsticks into some wine and wanted to give it to Asgen to lick. Toya stopped him. Asgen pretended to cover his mouth and said: Spicy, no.
Aginai put the end of the chopsticks in his mouth and smacked it hard. He was happy. Then, he looked at the lit candles and then at the unlit light bulb above his head, and frowned.
Toya: Don't worry, when we have enough money, we will also buy some solar panels. Just like other people's pasture spots, even if there is no wind, we can light up the lights on sunny days and nights.
Asgen shouted happily: Mom, we will also build a new yurt at that time, the big boss’s yurt.
"Okay. How big do you want?" Toya asked.
"Like - like the Sarentai house - no - as big as a mountain." Asgen replied gesticulating.
Akinai laughed, but threw out two words: bullshit.
Toya: In addition to building a yurt - a yurt as big as a mountain, I also need to buy a big motorcycle...
…………
A light inside the yurt passed through the door curtain and cast a beam of light at the door. "Xiri" lay beside the beam, staring into the distance. The big black dog "Hari" still found a high place with a better view, and paid his dues faithfully.
Got up for the night shift.
