On the grassland after the rain, the sky is washed exceptionally clean, and the originally azure background becomes even purer and deeper, like an endless piece of silk.
It stretches from the horizon to the end of sight.
Standing in the courtyard, I took a deep breath of the outside air and felt as if all my internal organs were cleansed.
Tiantian came over with a basket, "Want to go pick ground vegetables?"
"Go, go, go, wait for me, change your shoes. Saren, are you going?"
Tiantian looked around and made sure no one could hear her before saying, "She seems to be pregnant. She went to the infirmary."
Song Shuxi was surprised for a moment, "This old doctor is so amazing, it's only been a short time."
"Go change your shoes quickly and talk as you walk."
"Okay, do you dare to ride a horse? I'll let you ride Chiyun, she has a good temper."
"Okay, I've been coveting your two horses for a long time."
After packing up, Song Shuqian took out the bone whistle and blew a few times, "Let's go, wait at the door, I'll be back soon."
Tiantian said, "No wonder the sisters-in-law in the family compound envy you. I envy your life too. Where's An'an and Lele?"
"We went to herd the sheep. Wei Jianguo said that since he had promised, he must do it. As soon as the rain stopped, he ran out with his three dogs."
Tiantian slapped her head and said, "I thought Sihu was running out in a hurry. It turns out that he was in a hurry to herd sheep. I am worried that they will develop feelings for each other and won't allow us to kill sheep in winter."
"No, you can't. If you really can't kill it, just buy a leg of lamb and roast it for Sihu.
There is nothing that a delicious meal can’t solve. If that doesn’t work, have a meal of scallion and mutton buns.
I was already dizzy with the fragrance, let alone those little kids who had never seen the world. "
"Does your An An Le Le know that her mother's tricks are so deep?"
"I know. As long as they ask, I will tell them. I would rather grow up to be a black sesame seed than a silly and innocent girl."
Tiantian gave a thumbs up and said, "When it comes to educating children, I admire you. Our children will follow your lead."
"Okay, okay. We can't teach a few people who are harmful to society."
As they were talking, Chi Yun and Li Zai came closer. Song Shuqian touched Li Zai's head and said, "Today we are a group of two. You have to take care of me and don't run too fast."
He touched Chiyun again and said, "Tiantian is now in your hands. Take good care of her."
After making sure that both horses understood, Song Shuxi climbed onto the horse, turned around and looked at Tiantian, "Don't be nervous, Chiyun will cooperate with you."
There is no problem for Kung Fu Tiantian to get on a horse.
Two horses carried people and trotted towards their destination.
The young soldiers standing guard at the door witnessed this scene, and they looked at each other, feeling envious. What man doesn't want to try horse riding?
However, the troops were short of horses and it was not their turn.
If we were to say who the soldiers in the army envy the most, it would be Captain Wei. I have strong abilities and a bright future. My wife is beautiful and educated, and she keeps the home in order. My children are smart and sensible.
The most important thing is that the couple earns a lot, has a small burden, and lives a comfortable life.
Which ordinary rural soldier doesn’t need to subsidize his family?
Some people who don't know what's going on not only have to support their own family, but also their brothers' family. Their lives are very tight and they wish they could spend every penny wisely.
Song Shuxi and Tiantian went up the mountain, feeling the breeze all the way.
Tiantian said, "Do you know the volcano nearby? I heard it is a dormant volcano. I have never seen what a volcano looks like. Let's find some time to go and see it."
"Okay, I haven't seen it either. Is it far?"
"It's a bit far, almost 300 kilometers. We have to wait for Lao Liu and the others to rest. Let's borrow a car and drive all the way there."
"Okay, I'll go home and talk to Wei Jianguo. Let's go before the baby is born. After the baby is born, we can go out and play together. We'll need to borrow two cars."
"That's right. One car is no longer available."
When they arrived, Song Shuxi patted the two horses and said, "Go and play, don't run too far, we'll go home soon."
There were already a few sisters-in-law picking up trash here. When I saw them, I greeted them one by one. After a brief greeting, everyone started to work.
Tiantian introduced, "This is ground vegetable, it looks a bit like wood ear, it only appears after the rain here."
Song Shuqian took her special shovel for digging wild vegetables and scooped them up one by one, looking very happy.
Occasionally, when I see edible wild vegetables, I will take them away.
"Xiao Song, I didn't expect you to come here to pick wild vegetables." said a sister-in-law.
Song Shuqian looked at them and saw that it was another unfamiliar person. "Sister-in-law, what are you talking about? We are all military wives. We have to take care of the food and drink for the whole family. These wild vegetables are indispensable."
"Sister-in-law, I don't mean anything else. I just think that you and digging wild vegetables are not suitable for each other." The sister-in-law explained anxiously, fearing that Song Shuqian would misunderstand.
Confirming that her sister-in-law was just not good at talking and had no other intentions, Song Shuqian didn't care, "To be honest, sister-in-law, before I got married, I never thought that I would dig wild vegetables one day.
But after I started digging, I found it quite interesting, and I wouldn’t want to be stopped from digging now.
For example, if my sisters-in-law hadn’t told me, I wouldn’t have believed that this ground vegetable could be eaten and was so delicious. It doesn’t really look like something delicious.”
Everyone laughed when they heard her say that.
Many of them are from cities and have good family conditions. They choose to marry soldiers for their own reasons, not to go to the countryside, not to be controlled by their parents, or to add a little help to the family...
The married life they imagined was indeed not like this. They had to work from sunrise to sunset in a place where there was no village or shop nearby.
But without exception, everyone enjoys their current life.
You may feel a little tired physically, but you are very happy.
While digging wild vegetables and chatting, time passed quickly and the basket we brought was full.
Song Shuqian pressed it with her hand. It was a rare opportunity for her to come out, so she wanted to pick more things to bring back.
Tiantian straightened her back and asked, "Go back?"
"That's enough. Let's go."
The other sisters-in-law are almost done, so let’s go back together.
Song Shuqian shouted to the two horses not far away, "Chiyun, Lizai".
The two horses ate a few more mouthfuls of grass before running over.
Song Shuqian touched the horse's head and said, "Good boy."
One sister-in-law was envious and asked, "Xiao Song, where did you get your Chiyun from? I want to get one too."
“It may be difficult to find one now, so sister-in-law, ask the family that raises horses, preferably a herder.
I, Wei Jianguo, started looking for this two years ago. We finally found a family that had one, but they were worried that we wouldn’t be able to raise it ourselves, so they helped us raise it until it was three years old before allowing us to bring it back.
It was also agreed at that time that calves could not be born before the age of five. We have to bring it back every year so that people can see it and make sure we treat Chi Yun well. "
The sister-in-law said, "It's normal. Horses have a very high status in the hearts of Mongolians. They are partners."
"Indeed, when I took Chiyun away, they were reluctant to let me go."
Except for Song Shuxi and Tiantian, everyone else came here on bicycles. Song Shuxi and the others were faster, so they went back first.
