Chapter 2508
Le Shuhai and his brothers were busy roasting whole lambs and stewing lambs. They were responsible for receiving guests. He informed his family and went back to work.
With the sound of horseshoes clattering, several people on horseback quickly arrived outside the tent group of old Mrs. Baoyin’s house. They slowed down and dismounted when they were still more than ten meters away from the tent. ,walk.
Le Jianle, Kanglefu and his sons and nephews took turns going outside the tent to greet the guests.
When the guest arrived a few meters away from the big tent, the host greeted him. The guest picked up the gift from the horse and handed the horse to the young man assigned by the host to take care of the horse.
The young people in charge of the horses took the horses to a distant place and put them in a pen to let them eat grass.
The guests who followed the host and his family into the big tent were stunned when they saw the many gifts in the big tent. They followed the host's companions to guide them, bypassing the gifts and arriving in front of old Mrs. Baoyin. , greetings and giving gifts to the elderly.
The visitor has some background. He is a representative of the Wula Grassland Management Committee, which is also an official representative.
Le family Le Yunyue Le Yunji and two brothers of the Le family, as well as five young people with Shuzi, are all very competitive and are public officials. Among them, Le Yunyue is in Wula Grassland. He works in the management committee and is a director.
Le Yunyue had taken leave of absence two days ago to go home to celebrate Grandma Luo’s 100th birthday, and everyone in the management committee also knew about it.
Old Mrs. Baoyin was from Wula Grassland Rui was the first centenarian. Since it was the weekend, people from the management committee were also on vacation, so they also formed a team and came to celebrate the old lady's birthday. There were 12 people in total.
Le Yunyue welcomed colleagues and leaders, waited for the guests to present gifts to the grandmother, and solemnly introduced the grandmother’s natal family.
Le Yun bowed and greeted the guests.
A group of guests also enthusiastically paid tribute to the distinguished guests from afar. When the host arranged for them to sit next to the old lady’s mother-in-law, they did not shirk and happily sat next to the little girl. Sit down together.
After discussing with his brothers and sisters, Le Jian originally wanted to display the gifts from his old mother’s family in the tent and save them to entertain guests in the evening.
Now, people from the management committee came to wish my old mother a birthday. The public officials have to go to work tomorrow. People from the management committee must go back after lunch and will not stay for dinner.
There are also some in-laws in the Le family and guests from far away villages, who usually go back after lunch.
Le Jian discussed it with his brothers again, asked his old mother for permission, and brought the braised whole lamb that was a birthday gift from her natal family to entertain the guests at noon.
The braised whole lamb has been simmered to a high temperature, all it needs isIt is very convenient to heat it on the fire or simmer it in a pot.
Lekang went to call some grandchildren, and first took thirteen braised sheep to the temporary kitchen.
The people in the tent were chatting lively. Soon after, the leader of the upstream village and some villagers also arrived on horseback.
After the previous group of guests entered the tent and exchanged greetings with the birthday girl, they sat down to drink milk tea. Before finishing the bowl of milk tea, people from the village committee also came to wish the old lady a birthday.
The village committee is more than thirty miles away from the old lady’s settlement. It is a relatively large village with a primary school and several small settlements within a radius of seventy or eighty miles. Children who do not go to school in the city go to primary school there.
There were more and more people in the big tent, and Le family members and some villagers went to the temporary tents.
After the people from the village committee arrived, the villagers from the lower reaches and the settlements within a radius of fifty miles sent representatives to celebrate the old lady's birthday.
In distant settlements, only one adult per family comes.
In the villages downstream, adults came and brought their children with them.
Soon, the natal families or in-laws of the daughters-in-law of the Yun and Shu generations of the Le family, or the in-laws of the Le family brothers also came one after another.
Some of the young men of the Lejiayun and Shu generation went to live or work in other places, and their wives were also from other places, and some young women also married to other counties or other places.
The aunts and sons-in-law who married outside came back yesterday. Some of the in-laws came only on the old lady’s birthday, and some of them were far away and came late.
Mr. Le married local aunts in the Wula Grassland. Some were hundreds of miles away, some were sixty, seventy, or twenty or thirty miles away. The nearest one was in this village.
Several aunts’ in-laws came to Mrs. Baoyin’s house yesterday. In order not to cause trouble to the in-laws, most of the in-laws did not come until the old lady’s birthday.
Old Mrs. Baoyin has in-laws in her family, and her husband’s brothers also have daughters and granddaughters. All the in-laws who are close to her are also here.
There are quite a lot of in-laws in the Le family. Even if the whole family is not involved, there are still nearly a hundred people.
The in-laws came one after another, and among them came more and more villagers from nearby settlements.
When I finally had time to rest, it was almost eleven o'clock.
After a few more groups of people came here and there, the men, women, and children from the same village also spontaneously came to Lejia. Those half-year-old children who went to practice riding and shooting also all returned to the village. Visit the old lady Baoyin's house.
One of the villagers also brought some to thank themVisitors from other provinces, of course, would not let their hosts entertain their guests in vain and lead a sheep.
The herdsmen are famous for their hospitality and will not dislike their guests. They will treat the guests warmly no matter whose family they are. It is not impolite in the eyes of the herdsmen for villagers in the same village to invite their own guests to visit other houses.
Before half past eleven, all the guests were here.
Le Yun was in the big tent, but her consciousness covered the area for several miles. She knew what was going on in every corner and could tell how many people there were.
There were 530 guests, including villagers and distant visitors, and 94 in-laws. In addition, there were 105 people of the same clan as the eldest aunt's husband, the Le family, old and young.
Therefore, not counting the direct descendants of my great-aunt, there were a total of 712 guests.
With so many people, a small Naadam Conference can be held.
When all the guests arrived, Lejian and his brothers invited the guests in the big tent to sit at the dining tent outside.
The guests followed their hosts and surrounded old Mrs. Baoyin and her family members as they left the big tent and walked towards the temporary square tent.
The square tent is U-shaped, with the opening facing the southeast, leaving a wide open space in the middle. The fire pit originally used for burning bonfires at night is temporarily covered.
There are two rows of tables in the tent, and carpets are spread around the tables.
The Mongolian people respect the right, that is, the west. The tents on the east are filled with younger guests, and the tents on the west are seats for the host or the elderly, with some elderly people sitting there.
When the host and distinguished guests arrived, all the guests present stood up and paid tribute.
Le Jian and his brothers supported their old mother and entered the tent in the west area with all the guests. They invited the old lady to sit on the table. They invited the cousins and their family to sit on the right side of the old lady. On the left side was the management committee member. The leaders of the meeting were accompanied by their own clansmen across from them.
People from the management committee and village committee, together with the heads of each village and the elders of the in-laws, sit at other tables. The older or older people, the young and middle-aged people, , sit down one by one in order according to the principle of elder and younger.
The dining table is made up of two tables put together. There are more than a dozen people sitting around the table. Not counting those who are working, there are more than fifty tables in total.
The person doing the work must be responsible for serving or removing dishes throughout the entire process, and does not sit at the same table with the guests.
Everyone sat down, and Leyun also found a distant visitor brought by a certain villager.
There were eight visitors from far away, four men and four women, aged between twenty-five and forty-three. One of the young men was handsome, well-spoken, and considered a social expert.
How many times have been scanned?As a distant visitor, Le Yun collected information about the bodies of people who were not related by blood to those she was familiar with.
However, she was sure that it was not all a coincidence that those people came to the grassland.
At least two of them are suspicious characters.
Even though the two people appeared to be tourists, their spirits and the subtle expressions that paid attention to her when she appeared had changed, and they had been paying attention to her secretly.
When those people didn’t come to Le’s as guests, they often used the villagers’ words. After coming to Le’s, they also walked around curiously and asked questions.
After analysis, Le Yun was 99% sure that the two people in that group were either being bribed to gather information, or they were the minions of certain people or organizations. Or eyeliner.
Everyone has broken into the village where my aunt lives, which can be considered as breaking into the inside. It can be seen that some people who are paying attention to her move very quickly.
If the enemy does not move, I will not move.
Those people sent people here, and there must be backup plans. Le Yun was not worried about her family. She dared to bring her family here, so she was naturally prepared.
No matter whether others come up with tricks or tricks, she will do it.
Besides, after my aunt returned to her hometown to worship her ancestors, she never made any move, just to create opportunities for those who secretly stared at Lejia or her.
This opportunity is fleeting.
If the quarrel between the eldest aunt’s grandma’s sale and the great-grandfather’s family is really related to the inheritance that the great-great-grandfather received, then if those who are watching the Le family have doubts, they should not let this go. a chance.
The prairie is wide, with retreat routes in all directions, making it the most suitable place for action.
The most important thing is that the grassland is far away from the city. There is no electricity or cameras, so there is no fear of exposing the whereabouts.
Whether it is to say that the artist is bold or arrogant, Le Yun does not hesitate to use her own family and her eldest aunt in order to fish out one or two enemies behind the scenes of the Le family. bait.
If she can catch one or two suspects this time, it means that her guess is correct, or an old woman in Jiangnanxi City has already suspected the identity of Grandpa Grandpa and the origin of the Le family. Or maybe the frequent troubles that happened to my great-grandfather and his family back then were related to a certain inheritance.
If no one takes the bait, it is possible that the person behind the scenes is deeply hidden and will not take action easily;
The person behind the scenes has not taken any action, which means that the aunt is relatively safe for the time being.
What Le Yun is more interested in is that she doesn’t know who the spies who broke into the herdsmen’s houses in the village came from. They were from the side of an old woman in Xi City.Or is there someone else?
The people who arranged for those two people to be spies also put a lot of thought into it. Those two people looked relatively ordinary. If they had jobs, they should be ordinary elites, and they were of the standard type.
Both of them have learned boxing and kicking skills. Even if they are discovered by others, it can be said that they are for self-defense and will not make people think too much.
