Chapter 2530 Visiting the Herdsmen
Old Mrs. Baoyin and some of the people who herded cattle in her hometown were reluctant to leave their relatives, and sent them off one way after another, urging them to pay attention to their health.
Classmate Le was just making up the numbers. She really had nothing to say as parting words. After all, she gave the other gift to the person who was about to leave in advance while they were packing their luggage.
She also gave a detoxifying pill to each of her cousins who had never been to Plum Village and to her cousins and nephews who were over thirty years old. She also gave a detoxifying pill to each of her uncles and sisters-in-law who were of the same generation.
The pills given to the eldest aunt's husband's cousins and clan brothers are based on the family unit, and the number of people in each house is calculated as a pill. Everyone over the age of twenty is given one pill per person, regardless of gender.
For example, my cousin Lejian has three cousins and four uncles. Each of their families is given a pill. The number is determined by how many sons and grandchildren each family has. They go back and subdivide it into the hands of their children. sons and then distribute them to their sons.
Taking the family as a unit, each family has one share, and let the elders who are the masters of the family take charge of the distribution, which saves trouble and effort.
Children under the age of 20 do not need to take detox pills for the time being, so there is no portion.
Classmate Le Xiao also only gave pills to her aunt's children and grandchildren and members of the Le family, but not to the in-laws of the Le family. After all, there were so many in-laws, so she couldn't take care of them.
She gave gifts to her great-aunt's husband's brothers, cousins, and people of the same race because they were brothers or the same race as her great-aunt's father-in-law. It was out of gratitude to her great-aunt's father-in-law and her family for being kind to her that she loved her.
If Le's family has a distant relationship with my aunt's family and wants her to send gifts and pills, haha, just dream!
The descendants of the Le family are prosperous. Not counting the young people under the age of twenty, there are more than 700 men, women and children over the age of twenty who are within nine years of old Mrs. Baoyin and her husband.
Not all members of the Le family came to Mrs. Baoyin's house. Some branches sent representatives to celebrate her birthday. Anyway, there was no shortage for each branch.
This time alone, Mr. Le gave away more than 700 pills for detoxification and impurity removal.
She once lamented that Yan's great-grandmother He's family was prosperous. As a result, she found her lost grandma and found that the number of people in her eldest aunt's family was as good as that of He's family.
Fortunately, she only needs to visit relatives with her great-aunt. If she had to travel with all her husband's brothers and sisters, just the exchange of favors would be a huge expense.
All the gifts that should be given have been given, and Le Xiaoxiao just made up the number as he saw off the guests, saying "take care" and "goodbye".
The people who resigned were not all in the same direction. Not far from the tent area, some people separated from the large group and said goodbye to everyone.
The number of people in the large army also gradually decreased.
After seeing you off for thousands of miles, you must say goodbye. Old Mrs. Baoyin and her group saw you off one way after another, until they were two miles away, and finally said goodbye to a large army heading towards Ximeng.
The person seeing off the person turns around and goes home first, and then the person being seen off gets on the car or mounts the horse, and then drives away slowly or at a gallop.
Since the fall semester is about to start, the children of Lejia who go to school in the city also go to the city with their adults, and there are relatively few children staying in the settlement.
The children were big-hearted and soon lost their mood to leave. They started playing, chasing and playing when they returned.
The old and young people who were seeing off were walking home all the way, and they just took the opportunity to move around and exercise.
Returning to the settlement, Le Xiaoxiao brought gifts and went to visit Luo Ji, the leader of the herdsman settlement, under the personal guidance of his aunt.
When an important relative comes to a herdsman's family, it is the greatest respect for the enemy to show the host a visit to the leader's family. If he fails to visit, the master's family will also send him a gift.
Old Mrs. Baoyin brought her parents to visit. The couple were very happy. They invited the guests to sit down and brought out a bunch of good things to entertain them.
In addition to the normal visits, Le Yun also had to arrange for bodyguards to be stationed in the settlement for a long time. She needed to meet with the leader in advance and negotiate for renting the land.
In order not to affect the normal life of the herdsmen, the bodyguards stationed in the settlements will set up tents or houses 200 to 300 meters away from the herdsmen's tents.
That kind of distance, neither too far nor too close, can take care of Lejia or the whole village, but also clearly see and hear the daily life of the whole village. It is a very suitable distance.
There are certain restrictions on where herders can live in settlements. Except for the residential areas where each family sets up tents, other areas are public grasslands.
Therefore, bodyguards need to rent public land to build tents or houses in settlements. If the herdsmen and leaders are unwilling to rent, they will have to set up tents within the Lejia residential land.
The leader was shocked when he heard that the old lady's family would arrange for bodyguards to be stationed in their settlement, and couldn't understand the reason at all.
Of course, Lexiao classmate was honest and said that she was worried that others would come to the grassland to kidnap her aunt and threaten her in order to seek medical treatment or medicine. For safety reasons, she hired martial arts professionals to come to the grassland to protect her aunt.
She also specifically stated that the bodyguards she hired were mainly Mongolian, and their beliefs, lifestyles, and language should be relatively similar to those of herdsmen. There would be no communication difficulties or conflicts due to different beliefs and lifestyles.
The leader very much welcomes bodyguards to enter the village. Although there are no bears, tigers and other large animals in the deep grasslands like some savannas on the Xingmeng side near the Daxing'an Mountains, there is no shortage of poaching by wolves, foxes and other animals. livestock. If there are bodyguards who are skilled in martial arts and stationed in the village for a long time, they will be able to protect everyone in the settlement. If the herdsmen encounter any trouble or the livestock are attacked by wolves, there will be one more person to call for help.
If the leader doesn't object, it's basically done.
Luo Ji was also a man of action. After chatting for a while, he realized that the little girl even gave her bodyguard a permanent place to stay, so he excitedly went to see the venue.
Old Mrs. Baoyin was also very happy and went for a walk together.
Classmate Le had visited various parts of the settlement in the past two days and was very familiar with the terrain. If the leader was in the mood to take her to visit the settlement, he would naturally not refuse.
After walking around the settlement, Le and her aunt went to see the area she had chosen. It was far away from the herdsmen's homes and naturally far away from water sources.
Mrs. Baoyin and the leader felt that the address was too far away from the water source, so they suggested moving it to a herders' area so that it would be more convenient to get domestic water.
Le Yun thanked her for her kindness and felt that the location she chose was very suitable. The members of the Helian family who arranged the bodyguards must be monks. For monks, traveling one or two miles to fetch water is nothing.
The road to fetch water is a little longer, and the process of fetching water every morning is also a good way to do morning exercise.
After negotiating with the leader about the locations of the tents, bathrooms and vegetable fields, Le student simply took out his mobile phone and turned it on, calling the head of the Helian family.
The head of the Helian family and several clan elders also arrived in Xingmeng City yesterday. They were waiting for news about the little girl. After receiving the call, they got the accurate satellite positioning point and quickly packed their luggage.
Their family customized tents in Xingmeng last year. Yesterday, they went to pick up the goods from the tent manufacturer. All the large items that had been inspected and accepted have been loaded onto the truck.
There isn’t much luggage that needs to be packed up temporarily, just pack it up and you’re ready to go.
Tent merchants provide both delivery and installation services. Tent accessories are transported by the manufacturer's vehicles. Hejia transports essential furniture and some essential items.
A convoy consisting of several vehicles, pulling a variety of belongings and belongings, marched day and night towards the Wula Grassland in Xishi City.
After getting in touch with Helian's family, Xiao Le didn't turn off her phone. She walked around with the leader again and then returned to the herdsman's tent area. She didn't go to the leader's house again. She picked up gifts again and went to the side under the guidance of her aunt. I visited classmate Yuan’s house.
Bian Yuan is an active soldier and sometimes has to work shifts on statutory holidays. He only took annual leave after serving for two years. After that, he basically only takes family leave once a year.
Bian's classmates were not at home, but after Bian's father and Bian's mother attended the bonfire feast, Bian's father went to the ranch yesterday. Bian's grandparents, Bian Yuan's mother and his aunt warmly received the visitors.
Grandpa Bian has four sons and two daughters. Dad Bian is the youngest son. The Bian family was divided, and Grandpa Bian lived with his eldest son. Bian Yuan’s second uncle worked in a public institution and was far away in Or City. Uncle Bian and Dad grazed cattle in his hometown pastoral area. .
Classmate Bian also has an older brother and a sister. His older brother has already married and has children. The eldest child is already in elementary school. The younger one can also make soy sauce and works in other places. The younger child is taken care of by the elderly in his hometown and learns Mongolian culture. traditional riding and shooting, etiquette and language.
The children did not go to the ranch, but had fun with their brothers and sisters at the knees of their great-grandfather and great-grandmother.
Uncle Bian has three sons. The eldest son and the younger son all go to the city to make a living. The second son grazes at home. His children also get married and have children, and they have several granddaughters and grandchildren.
Except for the children who have to take extra classes or enroll in art courses during the summer vacation, the other children are also in their hometown. There are many children in the Bian family, which is quite lively.
Aunt Bian is a traditional woman, herding cattle and doing housework, hard-working and simple.
The brothers' tents were not too far apart. When my son's classmates came to visit, Bian's mother moved a bunch of food from her own tent to the elder brother's tent to entertain the guests.
Grandma Bian is also a kind old man. Her family and the Le family are as close as brothers. Mrs. Baoyin is not restrained when she comes to the Le family, just like going to her nephews' home, relaxed and casual.
Because classmate Bian was the matchmaker, she and her eldest aunt got to know each other. Leyun also had excellent senses for classmate Bian, and she naturally became close to Bian's family.
She also gave the Bian family a pill to detoxify, cleanse blood vessels and remove impurities, and everyone on New Year's Eve had it.
The little girl and his grandson are classmates, and Grandpa Bian is very friendly to the little girl. No matter what, he will let Grandma Baoyin take her family to his house for dinner in the evening.
Classmate Le accepted the kindness and visited Bian's house. It was almost noon after a short break. The leader's wife also came to Le's house to pick up Mrs. Baoyin and the little girl's family for lunch.
Leshan's father, Zhou Qiufeng, followed his little cotton-padded jacket to a herdsman's house as a guest. After the party, he returned to his aunt's house and took Leshan with him, accompanied by his two grandnephews and a group of children, to ride horses and play.
In the afternoon, Ms. Le continued to visit the herdsmen in the settlement, giving gifts to each family, and personally explained that she had asked bodyguards to be stationed in the herdsmen settlement to look after her aunt, as a show of respect for the original residents.
