Old Mrs. Baoyin and some of the people who were grazing 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 as her aunt and grandmother.
The pills given to the eldest aunt's husband's cousins and clan brothers are all based on the family unit, and are calculated based on the head of each person in the house, but one pill is given to each person over twenty years old, regardless of gender.
For example, my cousin Le Jian has three cousins and four uncles. Each family is given a pill. The quantity is determined by how many sons and grandchildren each family has. They go back and divide it into the hands of their children.
sons and then distribute it 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, how could she 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 the Le 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, and the old lady Baoyin and her husband are within nine, there are more than 700 men, women and children over the age of twenty.
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 just as generous as that of the He 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 needed to be given were given, and Little Le's classmate just made up the numbers as he saw off the guests, saying "take care" and "goodbye" again.
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 him off first turned around and went home, and then the person being seen off got on the car or mounted his horse, and then drove away slowly or at a high speed.
Since the fall semester is about to start, the children of Lejia who went to school in the city also went to the city with their adults, and there were relatively few children staying in the settlement.
The children were big-hearted and quickly lost their mood to leave. They started playing, chasing and playing when they returned.
The old and young people who saw them 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 her aunt.
When an important relative comes to a herdsman's family, it is the greatest respect for the host to bring him to visit 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 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 two to three hundred meters away from the herdsmen's tents.
That kind of distance is neither too far nor too close. Even if you can take care of Lejia or the whole village, you can 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 build 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 could not understand the reason at all.
Of course, Lexiao classmate confessed honestly that she was worried that others would come to the grassland to kidnap her aunt and threaten her in order to seek medical treatment. For safety reasons, she hired martial arts professionals to come to the grassland to protect her aunt.
.
She also specifically explained that the bodyguards she hired were mainly Mongolian, and their beliefs, lifestyles, and language should be relatively similar to those of the 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 grassland like some savannas on the Xingmeng side of the Daxing'an Mountains, there is no shortage of poaching by wolves, foxes and other animals.
livestock.
If there are indeed bodyguards who are skilled in martial arts and stationed in the village permanently, they will also 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.
As long as 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 had even arranged a place for the bodyguard 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 wandering around the settlement, Ms. Le went with the leader and her aunt to see the area she had chosen. It was far away from the herdsmen's homes and naturally far from the water source.
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 declined the 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 a mile or two to fetch water was nothing.
The road to get water is a little longer, so the process of getting water every morning is also a good way to do morning exercise.
After negotiating with the leader about the location of the tent, the bathroom, and the vegetable field, Classmate Le simply took out his cell phone, turned it on, and called 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 a call and getting the accurate satellite positioning point, they quickly packed their luggage.
Their family customized a tent in Xingmeng last year. Yesterday, they went to the tent manufacturer to pick up the goods. 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 temporarily, just pack it up and you’re ready to go.
Tent merchants provide package 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 household items, 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 anymore. 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 a gift again and went to her aunt's house.
He led me to visit classmate Bian Yuan’s house.
Classmate Bian Yuan is a serving soldier and sometimes has to work shifts on statutory holidays. He served for two years before taking annual leave. After that, he basically only took family leave once a year.
Bian's classmates were not at home, but after Bian's father and 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 from afar.
Grandpa Bian has four sons and two daughters. Dad Bian is the youngest son. The Bian family has split up. Grandpa Bian lives with his eldest son. Bian Yuan’s second uncle works in a public institution and is far away in Or City. Uncle Bian and dad grazing cattle in his hometown pastoral area.
.
Classmate Bian also has a brother and a sister. His 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 left in his hometown to be taken care of by the elderly and learns from Mongolian culture.
Traditional riding and shooting, etiquette and language, etc.
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.
Except for the children who have to take extra classes during the summer vacation or are enrolled in art courses, the other children are also in their hometown. There are many children in the neighboring family, which is quite lively.
Auntie Bian is a traditional woman, herding cattle, doing housework, hard-working and simple.
The brothers' tents were not too far apart, and my son's classmates came to visit. My 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. Old 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 a very good sense of classmate Bian, and naturally she became close to the Bian 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 were classmates, and Grandpa Bian became very friendly to the little girl. No matter what, he let Grandma Baoyin take her family to his house for dinner in the evening.
Classmate Le accepted the kindness and visited Bian's house. He didn't rest long before noon. 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 dinner, 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.
Classmate Le continued to visit the herdsmen in the settlement in the afternoon, giving gifts to each family, and also told her about the bodyguards she hired to stay in the herdsmen settlement to look after her aunt, as a show of respect for the original residents.
