Chapter 3 Warm Early Summer Morning

Time goes back to early summer five years ago.

Summer is the most beautiful season on the grassland, and it is also the favorite season of the herdsmen. The spring lambs have been picked up long ago, and all the little creatures are jumping around. The annual livestock harvest is just around the corner, and every herdsman family is planning the harvest for the year.

The harvest seasons of herdsmen and farmers are different. Farmers have a good harvest in autumn and herdsmen have a good harvest in summer. This is an important reason why the grassland "Nadam" is mostly held in summer. Not only because of the abundant water and grass and pleasant scenery in summer, but also because of the year-round

Once upon a time, the great livestock harvest came to the grasslands in summer.

Every time they arrive in Naadam, the herdsmen in the Peacock Ping Grassland are even more excited than during the New Year. They help the old and the young, ride horses and drive cars, and almost the whole family goes to the grassland to attend the herdsmen’s own annual event and share the joy of harvest and the grassland together.

beauty of.

The current season has just entered the threshold of summer, and there is still some time before Naadam is held. Matoya has already made plans in her mind. The whole family will go to Naadam this year, and she will also bring her own dairy products.

I sold the "Prince's Embroidery" works I embroidered and saved some money to buy a motorcycle for Aginai.

Toya's wish to "buy Aginai a motorcycle" was something that Toya had when she married Aginai. At that time, the conditions of both families were not very good, and Toya did not ask for betrothal gifts and dowry like other girls. If she had originally

She insisted that her husband Bai Chaolu would buy a motorcycle even if he borrowed money. Taking a step back, even if her husband's family could not meet this request, her father Ma Erdemutu would sell the iron to fulfill her daughter's dream. But at that time, Toya

She didn’t mention a word about the motorcycle, not even to Aginai. She just encouraged herself in her heart that she would definitely buy one when she saved enough money! Living at home is full of places to spend money.

It’s hard enough to save money.

To make a long story short, time flies so fast. In a blink of an eye, my son Asgen is already five years old. He has big eyes, long eyelashes, and a tiger-like head. "Asgen" means "upright" in Chinese. He has just turned one year old.

The yellow dog became the child's best playmate. The yellow dog also grew strong and was very obedient. The owner named it "Xiri", which means "yellow" in Mongolian.

…………

One early morning in early summer this year, Matoya and Bai Aginai got up much earlier than usual, and got busy while it was still dark.

Ajinai is about to return to Mudian. Although his "neighbor" Huhulu helps to take care of him and he has been there for several days, he feels relieved, but he is still a little embarrassed.

This time, Toya also stayed with her for a few days, helping to clean up Mudian's "home" completely. Her son Asgen heard some clues on the first day, and insisted on following, but Toya said "

"Vote no". Mudian is more than a hundred miles away from home, and the conditions are quite difficult. Toya didn't want to take her children with her, so she quietly prepared and planned to get up early in the morning and sneak away.

The moon has set in the west, the eastern sky is slightly brighter, and the outlines of distant mountains and nearby trees gradually become clearer.

A rooster who had announced the dawn crowed a few times arrogantly. Since there was no response from other roosters, it naturally lost interest and rested in boredom. There were a few thin clouds on the horizon, which slowly became brighter.

Some are like flying big birds, some are like running puppies, some are like swimming carps, and some look like nothing at all, just floating there quietly to count.

Because it was too early, the sparrows had not yet left their nests, and the songbirds might have slept too late and were catching up on their sleep. Therefore, the village of Sarentai seemed very quiet.

Ajinai, a lean Mongolian man, with endless energy hidden in every muscle, never complains about how early he gets up, how tiring work he does, how much hardship he endures. He gives one red and one white

The two horses added bales of grass and went to check the rubber-tired cart at home. The big yellow dog "Xiri" followed behind him.

Pressing the flat tire with his hand, Aginai frowned. The tire that was fine yesterday, how can it be said that it is deflated when it is flat?

Aginai quickly turned on the flashlight and entered the warehouse. After rummaging around in an old-fashioned large wooden box for a long time, he found a pump, rubber, and glue to stick to the tires. As soon as he put these things away before returning to the wheel, Aginai looked up.

Looking to the east, experience told him that it was really going to be dawn soon.

In the kitchen, Toya was making milk tea and preparing breakfast. The room was steaming and the lights were a little dim.

Aginai hurriedly walked into the house, and the big yellow dog wanted to follow him. He turned around and glared. "Xiri" knowingly retracted his front paws from stepping onto the threshold, turned around and walked away.

Aginai lay in Toya's ear and said: The tire of the rubber truck is flat.

Toya was surprised and asked angrily: Huh? You didn't watch it yesterday?

Aguinai said: I didn’t look at the tire. I just realized it when I pressed it. If I stick the tire now, I’m afraid it will be too late.

Toya was a little angry, but it didn't reach the point of explosion, so she said: You, you - let me tell you, what are you good at? Forget it, let's go take a look at that Lele car. Dad used it in the first two days.

, just use that one.

Aginai nodded and went out of the house again, quickly returned the pump and other items to the big wooden box where they came from, and carefully tied the car cover on the rubber tire car to the lele car.

…………

Toya's parents, Maherdemutu and Narentuya, live in the West House, because in Mongolian customs, the west is the largest, and the elderly generally live in the West House. Now this concept has changed a lot, and ordinary people don't

After all, the old man would live in whichever house was spacious and warm. Asgen was willing to live with his grandparents.

The old man had already woken up. The old couple did not get up for fear of disturbing his grandson Asgen. Erdemutu suppressed his cough and did not dare to make a loud noise. Even so, Naren Tuya still poked him, meaning to say

:A person as hard of hearing as me can hear you coughing. Please keep your voice down.

The light from the kitchen came through the window on the door. Toya looked into the bedroom, and her parents also looked at her without saying a word.

Asgen was sleeping soundly...

…………

There was a slight light in the small courtyard. Aginai found an old oil can, added lubrication oil to the axle of the Lele car, and hung the oil can on the car.

"Xiri" thought the oil can hanging there was quite novel, so he stretched out his paws to fiddle with it, but the oil can fell to the ground with a "thud" sound.

Aginai finally found a reason to shout: "Xiri"——

A shout like thunder scared away "Xiri" and also woke up Asgen, who was sleeping soundly. Wearing a small bellyband and bare buttocks, he sat up suddenly, opened the curtains and looked outside.

Seeing his father tinkering with the car, Asgen became anxious and shouted in a tearful tone: Dad - wait for me, I will go to the herd with you too!

After shouting, Asgen didn't even bother to put on his clothes or shoes, got off the kang and ran out.

Erdemutu went up to grab a handful, but failed.

Narentuya shouted: Asgen, come back and put on your clothes!

Toya complained to Aginai and said: What's the matter with you? Can't you make a little noise? There was such a sudden noise like a convulsion! This time it was good, it woke Asgen up, and he insisted on making noise and followed him.
