Difficult to raise children

Early the next morning, the two woke up to the sound of cattle and sheep, and the empty grassland was a little more animated by the sound of these livestock.

The father and son put on their clothes and walked out of the yurt, and saw Dongzhu leading the two children to the sheepfold with water.

"Morning, both of you, did you wake you up?" Dongzhu showed a shy smile, expressing his apology.

"No, we also got up early at home." Shen Hao walked over to take the big bucket in her hand, intending to help her carry the destination.

"Don't, how can you let the guests do it?"

"It's okay, this kind of rough work should be done by men." As soon as he finished speaking, the weight in his hands lightened, and the bucket had already been transferred to Shen Junyue's hands.

Shen Junyue aimed at his waist intentionally or unintentionally, and conveyed with his eyes: With your body today, be careful to dodge your waist.

A blush flashed on Shen Hao's face, but luckily his back was facing Dong Zhu, so he quickly adjusted.

Glaring at Shen Junyue, Shen Hao didn't argue with him, and followed him towards such a large flock of sheep.

Most of Zana's domestic sheep are long-haired cashmere goats, covered with long wool, which only feels hot in summer.

"Little sister-in-law, why haven't you seen Brother Zana?" Shen Hao pulled a piece of grass and played with it in his hand, chatting nonsense with Dongzhu.

"He took Dahei to watch the prey. After one night, the trap he set up might be able to catch the prey."

The food eaten on the grassland is relatively simple, so most herdsmen will hunt occasionally, but now that gun control is strict, they just need to set up some small traps and catch some small animals such as wild rabbits.

Shen Hao also often hunted in his previous life, and he is very skilled in making traps, "Can you take me to have a look later? Maybe I can help."

Dongzhu only thought that he was a young man who liked to play, so he agreed without even thinking about it. Anyway, the herdsmen on the grassland can do it, so it is not a secret.

The breakfast was very simple. To take care of the two foreign guests, Dongzhu cooked porridge with millet and baked a few cakes. When Zana came back with the majestic big black and a hare, breakfast was served. Just get ready.

Dahei yelled at Shen Junyue in a demonstrative manner, was slapped on the head by Zana, and then whimpered to the side, eating the breakfast in his own bowl.

"This dog is very spiritual." Shen Hao said, staring at Dahei's half-human body.

"I've raised it since it was born, so I just listened to me. It saved my life when it was three years old." When talking about his pet dog, Zana's simple and honest face showed a little bit Excited, he told over and over again the glorious deed of Dahei who rescued him from the siege of wolves.

"Okay, look at you, you have to show off once you see everyone, and you are not afraid of being laughed at by the guests." Dongzhu took the clean bowls and chopsticks and called Shen Junyue to sit down.

"It's really worth showing off." Shen Hao tried to reach out and touch Dahei's head, seeing that it just looked up and glanced at him, bared its teeth, and then continued to eat hard, looking much more friendly than last night.

He turned to Shen Junyue and said, "Father, let's raise a dog when we get home, shall we?"

"It's up to you, it's not a problem if you want to raise a litter." Shen Junyue likes ferocious animals, but ordinary ferocious animals can't be raised, but it's not a problem to get a Tibetan mastiff to raise.

"This month is the Naadam season in our grassland. The gathering place ten miles to the east is very lively these days. If you are interested, you can go and have a look."

Shen Hao's eyes lit up. He had heard that Mongolian warriors were all good at wrestling and horse racing. He had stayed in Beijing for a few years, and he hadn't stretched his muscles for a long time, except for occasionally finding someone to practice boxing. He came here immediately. interest.

Shen Junyue was originally a person who advocated force. When he heard that there were various competitions, he excitedly asked the Zana couple to borrow two horses, and planned to take his son to play after breakfast.

Zana's family didn't have many horses, and they weren't strong enough. Shen Junyue and Shen Hao each picked a decent-looking horse, and got on the horse immediately after asking the direction.

Shen Junyue's eyes widened in surprise from the posture of Shen Hao on the horse to the proficient look of him raising the whip.

"Son, when did you learn to ride a horse?"

"I practiced secretly while you were away, why? Afraid that I will lose face if I lose?"

"It's up to you?" Shen Junyue raised his chin and looked at him, "Don't think that after practicing for a few years, you will be supercilious, why don't we compare it first?"

"Father, don't you think it's more appropriate for us to be consistent with the outside world? It's unwise to fight inside the nest."

"Haha...Okay, then let's compete on the field!"

Shen Hao turned his horse's head and saw Zana's two sons staring at them enviously. He moved his mind and asked, "Brother Zana, can you let the two nephews be our guides?"

Zana originally planned to spare a day to take them there in person, but seeing the bright eyes of the two little guys, he hesitated for a few seconds before agreeing.

After grabbing the two little ghosts and giving them orders, Zana let them go.

Shen Junyue and Shen Hao each brought a little ghost, and they both raised their whips at the same time, and galloped out on the horse.

The wind blew the hair of the two people, Shen Junyue and Shen Hao walked side by side, and soon arrived at the gathering place that Zana said.

White yurts stand on the green grass, stretching in stretches, which is much more lively than the place where Zana and his wife live.

The Shen family's father and son jumped off the horse and carried the two little ghosts down. Zana's eldest son, Jida, held Shen Junyue's hand and asked, "Is this the first time for the two uncles?"

Shen Hao lowered his head and scratched his little nose, and said with a smirk, "Little Jida, you can call me uncle, but you have to call the one next to you grandpa."

Jeddah has completely inherited his father's simple and honest temperament, and said bluntly: "Abba said that only those with long beards are called grandpas. Uncle is so young, how can he be called grandpa?"

"Because you call me uncle, shouldn't uncle's father be called grandpa?"

Jida tilted his head and thought for a while, nodded reluctantly, and then awkwardly called Shen Junyue: "Grandpa..."

Shen Junyue's whole body suddenly turned cold, and a beautiful cross pattern appeared on his forehead.

Shen Hao was already laughing so hard that he leaned forward and backward, touched Shen Junyue's chin and joked: "Grandpa Shen is going to live a long life this year, this skin looks really good, but is there any secret recipe for beauty?"

"You have gained courage! You can even joke about daddy's jokes!" He said, reaching into Shen Hao's creaking hole.

Most of the herdsmen on the grassland are hospitable, especially when they are holding local children by the hand. A half-grown boy rushed over and asked, "Are the two brothers here to play?"

Shen Hao didn't correct others' titles this time. The father and son looked at each other and replied in unison: "No, we are here to challenge."

The young man was wearing a straw hat, and his dark face showed disbelief, and then quickly turned into sympathy, "You are brave, but... I advise you not to compare, there are many guests who come here every year, But in the end they all went back in despair.”

In the end, the young man turned into a disguised show off, with a pair of black and clear big eyes shining brightly.

Shen Hao touched his head, took out a pack of chocolates from his pocket and handed it to him, "Hey, this is for you, how about you take us to sign up?"

Shen Junyue stuffed this thing in when he was packing his luggage. Both of them didn't like it very much, so they put it in their pockets to coax children.

The two children of Zana's family were bought by chocolate.

"Okay!" The young man quickly snatched the chocolate, and stuffed it into his backpack before looking carefully, for fear that Shen Hao would regret it, "Come with me!"

Shen Hao asked Jida brothers to follow closely, so as not to lose it and explain to Zana and his wife.

The young man led Shen Hao and the two through the crowd to find an old man in white, "Grandpa Gu, these two big brothers also want to participate in the competition."

The old man waved his hand impatiently without lifting an eyelid, "If you want to sign up, go to your elder brother, remember to sign an agreement with them first, don't lose and renege on the debt, these city people are just fussy."

The young man stuck out his tongue, looked at the Shen family father and son worriedly, and told them in a low voice, "Don't blame grandpa for speaking harshly. Last year we also had a lot of tourists in this competition, but some people refused to admit it when they lost. They insisted on saying that we cheated. It was a good festival and broke up because of a lot of trouble."

"Don't worry, we are not this kind of people, and we will never do such a shameful thing!" Shen Junyue assured in words.

Shen Hao nodded, and then said: "But little guy, when you participate in the horse race, you have to let us choose your horses, otherwise we will lose at the starting line with our two horses."

"Of course, our horses are the best in the whole province, but our contestants generally use their own domesticated horses, and the relationship is very cooperative."

Shen Hao looked at the grassland full of simplicity and vitality, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, "It's okay, I have a relationship with animals since I was a child, and I can cooperate very well without emotions."

Shen Junyue struck at the side: "Don't talk big too early, lest you lose embarrassment in a while!"

"Dad, haven't you placed your bet yet?"

"what do you want?"

Shen Hao narrowed his eyes slightly, "I heard that Beijing also has a private racecourse, why didn't our family have one?"

"You should have been to their horse farm too. The place is as big as your palm, and you can only ride it for fun. How can you have the pleasure of galloping on the grassland? No matter how good the horse is, it will be locked up there."

"I've thought about it. After I go back, I'll discuss it with a few companies and merge the horse farms together. Wouldn't it be bigger?"

"Good idea!" Shen Junyue praised without hesitation.

"So, if you lose in a while, this matter will be left to you. You have a lot of face, and I don't want to offend a bunch of uncles."

Shen Junyue's smiling face froze at the corner of his mouth, and he rubbed Shen Hao's head vigorously, "Very good! What if you lose?"

"If I lose, of course I will do such offending things."

"make a deal!"

A group of people were taken to an open grassland, surrounded by half-circle sun umbrellas, under the sun umbrellas stood spectators in different clothes, including local herdsmen and tourists from other places, shaking their fans anxiously. Shouting: "Have you started yet?...How long will we have to wait?...It's so hot..."

Jida saw a few familiar children sharply, talked to Shen Junyue, and ran away with his brother.

Shen Hao shouted behind them: "Little Jida, don't run away!"

"Uh-huh……"

With two oil bottles missing, the Shen family and his son felt at ease. Looking at this scene, they asked, "Is this a shooting competition?"

The young man took out the bag of chocolates, tore open a corner of the package, took a bite, put it in his mouth, and said, "Yes, the horse race will be in the afternoon, and this morning is about shooting and wrestling."

"How do I sign up?"

"It's very simple." The little guy pointed to a large round table in front of him and said, "Go there and report your name, and get a number plate. Oh, yes, you have to pay a deposit of 100 yuan per person."

Shen Hao didn't know why, so he asked him bluntly: "What can a deposit of 100 yuan do?"

The little guy was worried about his misunderstanding, and hurriedly explained: "Some people will maliciously break the bow and arrow during the competition. If this happens, the deposit will be confiscated directly."

"That bow is more than this price, right?" These days, what can 100 yuan buy?

"The bows and arrows on our grassland are all made by ourselves, and it doesn't cost much. Besides, it's just a meaningful compensation."

Shen Hao thinks about it too.
