I don’t call him the guide Lao Zhang because the leader will take action this time.
We had two trips back and forth, and our return trip went extremely smoothly this time, and we didn’t encounter anything like the atrocious army ants in Sand City on the way.
We participated in the fire festival a few days ago, and most people in the tribe knew us. We had just passed the Crescent Moon Oasis, and a few sheep herders saw us and ran back to report the news.
Aji came out to greet us excitedly. His eyes lit up when he saw the new generator strapped to the camel's back.
"What's up, Aji? Let me keep my word. The Daewoo generator is many times better than your crappy generator."
Aji was so happy that he helped lead the camel all the way back to the Hute Department.
Xiaoxuan gave Uncle Hulu three sets of dolls and one set to the old patriarch’s granddaughter. We also gave all the snacks to the sheep herders.
At dinner in the evening, he winked at me and I nodded and walked out.
The earthen cave dwellings that the Hute people live in are arranged in two rows up and down, with ladders standing in the middle. The custom here is that all married people in the tribe live in cave dwellings, and all unmarried men and women live in cave dwellings.
When Dou Yazai learned about this, he joked and analyzed: "Isn't a cave dwelling just like a dormitory with bunk beds? Those who are married should live in the bottom bunk. If you live in the upper bunk, it might collapse one day."
"What are you doing, Aji?" I climbed up the ladder and looked into the cave dwelling.
Aji turned around and saw that it was me. He pointed at the generator anxiously and said, "Why doesn't this work? It doesn't spin."
I saw the generator in his cave dwelling and asked if you could carry it up by yourself on a ladder?
Aji nodded and said yes.
I said Aji, you are really awesome. This thing weighs one or two hundred kilograms.
I climbed up and took a look at the new generator we bought, and I immediately saw the problem.
"What can't be used?"
"There's no oil, please add some oil." I said.
Only then did Aji react and poured the diesel in his bucket into the fuel tank.
After adding oil, it caught fire as soon as I hit it, making a loud clicking sound, like a tractor.
I pointed at the generator and said, "Turn it off first! It's too noisy. Let me tell you something."
Aji turned off the generator and asked me what happened.
Turning around and seeing no one around, I whispered: "Aji, do you want a better mobile phone? The new games you bring are definitely more fun than Thunder. I'll get one for you next time."
Aji was stunned, squinting his eyes and said, "Are you still going to find Halahote? You want Uncle Hulu to take you away, and you want me to be your translator."
I said you are too smart.
Seeing Aji's gloomy face, I thought I had said something wrong somewhere.
Suddenly, a smile appeared on Aji's face, and he suddenly came over and shook my hand.
