"How about this, I will stay in our village for the next two days and do some field research."
When Liu Qianjin heard what Lu Zhiye said, he felt that there was hope and his eyes were wrinkled with smile.
“Why do you live here? A lot of people moved into this village before, and there aren’t enough houses.
You follow me to the commune, where there is a house where I usually rest.
You can live there, or if that doesn’t work, you can live in our house.”
Lu Zhiye looked at the people standing at the entrance of the vineyard, raised his hand and refused, "I originally wanted to transport our grapes and cantaloupes to the mainland.
As for the red dates, they were a pleasant surprise.
I always have to examine my original plan before making any other plans.
I see there are a few houses at the entrance of the vineyard.
Can you lend me a room to stay in for a while?"
Liu Qianjin quickly waved to the people at the door of the vineyard and asked in Uyghur if there were any vacant rooms.
Lu Zhiye was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Liu Qianjin had learned the Uyghur language. No wonder he became the commune secretary at such a young age.
It seems that the contribution to this place is not small.
“They said the dozen or so houses at the entrance of the vineyard are drying rooms.
Only the outermost room is habitable, but it only has one bed and is a little drafty. Look at this...”
Liu Qianjin wanted to give Lu Zhiye some more advice and took him to their home.
Although he learned the language here, he was unable to communicate fluently.
It was a pleasant surprise to meet a fellow villager, and the two of them shared the same interests. Liu Qianjin wanted to pull Lu Zhiye aside to talk all night long.
On the other side, Lu Zhiye walked towards the only habitable room.
He looked it over pretentiously and said, "It's okay. I have some old newspapers and old bedding in my car. It will be enough for two days."
There was a flash of disappointment in Liu Qianjin's eyes, but he quickly adjusted his mood and smiled as he asked people to entertain Lu Zhiye well.
In the evening, Liu Qianjin did not leave, but sat in the brigade headquarters with Lu Zhiye.
The village chief took charge of killing two sheep and carrying out three or four frozen sheep. A group of people sang and danced around the campfire.
Singing lyrics that Lu Zhiye couldn't understand.
As a loud and clear voice rang out, many boys and girls stomped their feet, clapped their hands, and danced around the campfire.
Even a child of four or five years old could twist his neck very flexibly.
Liu Qianjin took a sip of kumis, blushed, and walked forward with open arms.
He danced and sang at the same time, feeling so happy.
His mouth was almost stretched to his belt. His eyes rolled around, he stretched out his hand, bent over and walked in front of Lu Zhiye.
Made an inviting gesture.
Everyone around started laughing, and Lu Zhiye didn't want to spoil the fun, he started to learn it in an imitative manner.
In my previous life, I did business with people in Hong Kong City. They loved to hold banquets and dances.
In order to fit in with them, Lu Zhiye also learned a thing or two.
A group of people were laughing, singing and dancing, having a great time.
Many years later, the two met again in high positions. When they mentioned the current scene, their faces were still full of nostalgia.
After the dance, the whole roasted lamb was ready.
Sprinkle salt, cumin powder and chili powder on it, and it tastes very tempting.
"Comrade Lu, come and have a taste. The Abdullah family in the village are good at barbecue."
As Liu Qianjin spoke, he took out a small curved knife from his arms and started cutting the meat.
Almost every man present was holding a machete.
Paired with their special kumis, it tastes so delicious.
Lu Zhiye quickly picked up his bowl, took the meat, swallowed it in one gulp, and gave a thumbs up to the big men who were grilling the meat.
"Adasi, you are really trying hard."
Adasi means friend, which is what Lu Zhiye learned from Liu Qianjin.
He likes to say that people are very hardworking, whether he is praising people or things.
The man grilling the meat laughed and brought Lu Zhiye a lot of freshly grilled meat.
Liu Qianjin picked up a skewer of barbecued meat and ate it with his mouth full of oil: "They can cook a sheep in different ways.
Have you tasted the mutton cooked in the naan pit and the mutton roasted on charcoal? What is the difference?
This skewer of barbecue has nothing in it except salt.
Have a taste and see if it has no smell at all."
Lu Zhiye picked up a bunch and put it in his mouth: "Indeed, it tastes different from the lamb in the mainland."
Lu Zhiye didn't know how many sheep from Xinsheng he had eaten before, but he saw the eager expressions on Liu Qianjin and everyone else's faces.
I could only smile and praise it, pretending that it was my first time eating it.
The village chief couldn't help but twitch his lips when he saw Lu Zhiye pretending to be so serious.
Whispering to the people next to him, “No wonder they can become so big.
We can’t learn the technique of speaking without blinking at all.”
The other man nodded in response: "Who said it wasn't true? I can't help stamping my feet when I tell a lie."
After finishing his meal, Liu Qianjin was already feeling a little dizzy from drinking so much that he needed someone to support him to stand steadily.
The village chief had no choice but to go home, get a quilt, and place him in the brigade headquarters.
Lu Zhiye staggered towards the vineyard.
The crowd was messy and no one paid attention to him. When he walked to a deserted place, Lu Zhiye shook his head.
Where is the drunkenness in his eyes?
His eyes were extremely clear as he walked slowly towards the entrance of the vineyard.
When I arrived here, Meng Yuqing and Wen Wangqiu were already standing there.
Lu Zhiye patted his clothes and hurriedly went to greet him with a smile.
"Dad, Mom, why did you come so early?"
Meng Yuqing smiled lightly: "I heard someone mention it this afternoon. I heard that you live here, so I thought about coming to take a look."
She said it lightly, but Lu Zhiye knew very well that it was probably someone else who said something unpleasant.
It's simply that there are guests in the village today, so don't wander around when you have nothing to do these days, so as not to make people think you are unlucky.
Lu Zhiye opened the door, lit the kerosene lamp, and welcomed his father-in-law and his wife in.
Wen Wangqiu was not so easily fooled. After listening to Meng Yuqing's explanation in the afternoon, he sensed something was wrong.
Now is not the time to transport food. Why did Lu Zhiye meet Wen Shize?
Thinking about the previous evacuation of their village, Wen Wangqiu felt a bad feeling in his heart.
He sat there with his lips tightly pursed. Meng Yuqing saw that he was upset and poked him hard with his elbow.
While Lu Zhiye was out getting the charcoal basin, she asked quietly, "What's going on?
Xiao Lu has come here with great difficulty, and you are sick, why are you giving him such a cold shoulder! "
Wen Wangqiu cried out in injustice: "I didn't, I was just thinking about something.
Xiao Lu is so good to us, how could I possibly turn my back on him!!"
Meng Yuqing glanced at him and said, "No matter what you are thinking, when Xiao Lu comes in again later, you will laugh!!! Do you hear me?!"
