Chapter 2506

Wula Grassland is more than 900 kilometers away from the capital. Classmate Le Xiao drove his family and kept a safe speed. He refueled twice on the way and spent nearly five hours arriving at Wula Grassland. The most famous scenic spot in the pastoral area is Jiuqu Bay.

The Wula Grassland is quite a county-level area. The management committee of the pastoral area is located in the southwest corner of the entire prairie, which is relatively far from the central area of ​​the prairie.

When Mr. Le drove the helicopter to find Jiuqu Bay, he did not need to park at the scenic spot, but he needed to use Jiuqu Bay as the coordinate point to find the way to his aunt's house.

My aunt’s house is not on the route that connects the famous scenic spots in Wula Grassland, but deep in the prairie. There is no name of the village on the map. Her eldest nephew Le Shuhai gave me the route. It is a route drawn from the scenic spot Jiuqu Bay as the starting point.

After walking around the scenic area, Le Xiao’s classmate found the correct route and continued running.

Facts have proved that her eldest nephew Le Shuhai is a bit unreliable. The starting point he chose when drawing the map can be said to be thousands of miles away from his family's base camp.

Le Shuhaihui’s route map starts from Jiuqu Bay in the south of the grassland, while his family’s base camp is in the north of the grassland, which is equivalent to passing through most of the grassland from south to north.

Classmate Le, who chose to trust his eldest nephew Le Shuhai, finally found the place near his destination after flying for about an hour.

She also decided not to trust the local aboriginal nephews of her aunt’s family in the future. Facts have proved that the local aborigines may not be reliable!

If her eldest nephew is more reliable and uses a village marked on the map in the hinterland of the grassland or a village on the scenic route near Xingmeng as the coordinate point, it can be said that It's a no-brainer.

Classmate Le, who was inadvertently diverted from the route by his unreliable eldest nephew, silently considered the feasibility of bringing his eldest nephew in for a beating.

Before she could figure it out, she had already flown to the settlement where her great-aunt's family lived, and easily found which tents belonged to her great-aunt's family.

The herdsmen on the grassland, their ancestors lived from grass to grass a long time ago, with no fixed point. In the era without satellite phones, if you want to find someone, you may not be able to find someone even if you have to fight to the death.

The herdsmen who live on grass are usually a family or a family of brothers as a unit. Wherever they camp, there is a temporary village. Sometimes a village consists of a family or a yurt.

Nowadays, the herdsmen on the grasslands have fixed settlements. Most of them have no official names. The village names cannot be found on satellite maps. Only the people in the village committee know who lives in which settlements. .

The village committee is composed of several settlements. If the village committee wants to find someone, the fastest way is to find the "headman" of a certain settlement. The person in each settlement is older and more respected. The person will be elected as the "leader", and the Mongolian or Manchu people are called the "banner leader".

The settlement where Mrs. Baoyin’s home is located has a relatively large number of herdsmen living there. However, because it is deep in the prairie, there is no official village name, and there are no herdsmen’s homes to receive tourists.

August is not the grazing season. Every herdsman family has someone pitching a tent on the pasture. There are many foundations in the settlement that were revealed after the tents were demolished.

The grassland is flat. The places where residents set up tents in settlements have compacted the ground and built fixed foundations higher than the grassland. The tents are set up seven or eight centimeters above the ground to prevent them from raining or melting snow. , snow or rainwater flooded into the tent.

My classmates from Le Primary School looked down from a high altitude outside the herdsmen’s settlements. What they saw was a very beautiful picture:

On the broad grassland, a The small lake shines in the sun like a pearl inlaid on the green carpet. A winding river comes from a distance, passes by the small lake, and then winds away from the grassland.

The herdsmen’s tents are scattered on both sides of the small river path. In order to protect the water source, the herdsmen did not set up tents for nearly a mile around the small lake.

In addition to a nearby settlement, there is also a herder settlement in the upper reaches, about eight or nine miles away from the small lake, where more herders live.

Further downstream, there is a settlement about five miles away.

August is one of the best months for grassland plants to grow. The pastures are luxuriant, the plants are vying to bloom beautiful flowers, and groups of cattle and sheep decorate the grassland into an exquisite carpet. .

The yurts in the sunshine are like mushrooms emerging from the green grass, extremely cute.

As for the figures of herdsmen who are active from time to time, they are like little bees, adding a touch of movement to a quiet landscape painting, making it come alive.

Grandma Baoyin’s house is easy to recognize - there is the largest white tent yurt group in the settlement!

Normally, in a village, only the leader’s tent is the largest, but Mrs. Baoyin’s village is an exception.

Because Mrs. Baoyin is the oldest longevity elderly person in the village and the oldest registered longevity elderly person in the entire Wula Grassland. She is truly a "longevity star" and "people's auspicious person".

The old lady is very famous in the nearby area and is highly respected by the herdsmen. The leader also respects her.

Mrs. Baoyin’s husbandHer husband has many brothers, many children, and her family also has many clan members. Every year during the White Moon, her children and grandchildren gather together, or the clan members come to pay New Year greetings. A normal-sized tent cannot accommodate so many people, so the Le family ordered an extra-large tent. .

Old Mrs. Baoyin is respected by everyone and is a popular person on the grassland. Her family has a huge tent, and the bosses don’t have any objections.

After finding the herdsmen’s settlement, Le Xiao’s classmate easily identified his aunt’s house and flew the helicopter to the area where the tents were located and landed near them.

Old Mrs. Baoyin celebrated her 100th birthday. Her husband, brothers, children, descendants and other ethnic groups all knew that the old lady was originally from Han nationality, so they celebrated her 100th birthday in the Han nationality way.

It was a big event, and every branch of the clan sent people to the scene.

Taking into account the large number of people, the young people of the Lejia family set up more than a dozen square tents on the grass not far from their homes for setting meals and digging them on the grass. A pit for bonfire dances at night.

The guests celebrating the old lady’s birthday will come for lunch at noon, and the young people of the Le family have been busy early, killing cattle and sheep, stewing meat, and roasting whole sheep.

Young people of the same ethnic group with the surname Le also helped, while the elderly stayed in the big tent of the Le family to talk to old Mrs. Baoyin and the old people from the same village or nearby who came to wish the old lady a birthday.

Most of the people from the same village also came to Lejia, some went to help, and some sat in the four-corner tent, played chess and talked.

When they saw the helicopter flying from the south, the guests and hosts cheered.

Old Mrs. Baoyin was also surrounded by the elderly and came out of the tent. She took her children and grandchildren who were holding wine and hada to the grass a few hundred meters away from the tent to greet her parents.

Except for those who have work to do, men, women and children all follow Mrs. Baoyin to welcome guests from afar.

The men, women and children standing on the grass raised their heads and followed the slowly landing helicopter with their eyes.

Under the spotlight, the white iron bird fell gently, and soon reached a place less than ten meters above the green space. Then the distance got closer and closer, and then it landed smoothly.

The Iron Bird landed successfully, and the propeller blades on the top of the shell were still whirring and rotating.

After the small plane came to a stop, Classmate Le got out of the cockpit, trotted around the nose of the plane, reached the other side, and opened the door to pick up his younger brother and his father, Aunt Feng.

Leshan, who had been prepared for a long time, packed his bag and stood behind the flight door. As soon as his sister opened the door, he rushed towards him and let his sister carry him out of the helicopter.

Zhou Qiufeng and Dad Le each carried a big bag on their backs and a box.

The couple got out of the hatch,I originally wanted to put down the box and then go back to move the luggage, but when I saw my aunt walking with a large group of people, I quickly put down my things first and went to meet her with a pair of children.

When the helicopter first stopped, the sound of the propeller blades and the wind were very loud. Mrs. Baoyin and others did not come forward, but stood far away and waited.

The visitors who gathered around Mrs. Baoyin’s eyes lit up when they saw the girl coming out of the helicopter’s head cabin. The girl was wearing a light purple coat with wide sleeves and a skirt embroidered with exquisite patterns. It was draped over her shoulders. A golden Xiapei studded with precious stones.

She had a bun on her head and wore a phoenix hairpin and pearl flowers. The phoenix hairpin held a nine-piece bead chain in its mouth. The jewelry was golden and pearly, gorgeous and noble. .

The long skirt reaches the ankles, revealing a pair of embroidered shoes inlaid with treasures.

As a girl dressed up, her two wide sleeves and skirt were fluttering and dancing like huge butterflies as she walked. The beaded hairpin on her head swayed, swaying out a bright star.

The girl dressed up in the sun is dignified and elegant, so dazzling that people can't take their eyes away.

Seeing the gorgeously dressed girl, everyone was amazed. Grandma Baoyin is so lucky!

Grandma Baoyin’s natal granddaughter came all the way and dressed up as if attending a feast, which is enough to show how much she values ​​and respects her elders.

Others really can’t envy the grandma’s lucky star.

When they saw the little boy that the girl took down from the helicopter, the eyes of the guests sparkled again. The little boy was wearing a purple robe with a round collar. He was white, tender, cute, and felt like a newborn baby. It's as soft as a calf, I really want to hold it and rub it!

To the young couple who came down behind, everyone’s reaction was slightly calmer.

The middle-aged couple wear retro-style blue clothes. The men wear long shirts under their tops, and the women wear horse skirts under their tops. The silk fabric is thin and smooth, and you can tell it was made at a high cost.

The lady also wore a bun and a small crown, looking dignified and generous.

Old Mrs. Baoyin was so happy that she could hardly close her mouth when she saw her natal brother’s two grandsons. She couldn’t help but be happy when she saw her natal nephew and niece’s daughter-in-law in long gowns and skirts. .

She knows that her nephews, nieces and daughters-in-law are hard-working people. They like to wear loose casual clothes on weekdays and don’t like robes and skirts that easily restrict their hands and feet. This time they wore retro Tang suits, which shows how difficult it is for Xiao Xiao. Couple.

Everyone dressed up carefully and came to their home as if they were attending a festival, showing that they valued and cared about her as an aunt.

Old Mrs. Baoyin didn’t feel lost before she had no natal family. She still felt valued by her natal family after having her natal family.So wonderful!
