Knowing that his granddaughter and grandson-in-law were coming, Kalwan was waiting at the door early.

After a while, I saw a car driving over, followed by a trailer carrying containers, and I greeted it.

When Shi Wan'er saw her grandfather, she hurriedly stopped the car, ran over quickly, and threw herself into the old man's arms.

Kalwan hugged her tightly and complained, "Ayiguli, my darling, you eagle of the snowy mountains is finally willing to stop your steps to see me, a lonely old man." ”

Ayiguli is Shi Wan'er's Tajik name, which was given by her grandfather, but she only uses a Chinese name, and this name is only called here.

"Grandpa, where are you lonely? There are uncles, second uncles, cousins, and a lot of them are with you, it should be very lively! Shi Wan'er asked.

"How can they pay attention to me, an old man, who thinks about making money all day long, like an eagle flying out, and is not at home. This time, you have to spend time with your grandfather. ”

"Hmm." Shi Wan'er nodded and introduced to him: "Grandpa, this is my man Hongming, and next to him are his friends, all of whom came to participate in the Diao Yang competition." ”

"Hello, Grandpa." Cai Hongming stepped forward to greet him, and Ji Dong also respectfully stepped forward to salute.

Tajiks are a people who pay great attention to etiquette, and men usually shake hands or kiss the backs of each other's hands when they meet each other. When women meet, the elders kiss the eyes or foreheads of the juniors, the juniors kiss the palms of the elders, and the juniors kiss each other on the cheeks and lips. When men and women meet in the same generation, the woman kisses the man's palm or shakes hands. When a child sees his or her parents, he or she should kiss the palm of his or her parents. As a sign of respect. And the warmest etiquette in the family is hugging.

Of course, these are limited to familiar people, and strangers cannot have this kind of courtesy.

Although Cai Hongming is Shi Wan'er's man, he is a stranger compared to Kalwang, so he didn't have any warm etiquette, just stepped forward and hugged him.

Karwan patted Cai Hongming's back and said, "The young man is good, but if you want to take away our Tajik eagle, you must be a brave man who has obtained Diao Yang." Can you do it? ”

"Absolutely." Cai Hongming said.

"It's good to have faith." Calwan nodded. I feel like this kid is pretty good. After chatting casually, he turned to Shi Wan'er and said, "Ayiguli, grandpa has prepared your favorite snacks and wine for you, let's go." Let's go inside and sit. He said. took Shi Wan'er's hand. Go inside.

Shi Wan'er looked at Cai Hongming.

Cai Hongming remembered that the yak he had put in the container had not been released yet, and hurriedly said, "Grandpa, we brought a few yaks over." Don't know where to put it? ”

"You also brought yaks here, so I'd like to see them."

Cai Hongming and Ji Dong released the yak inside, and Kalwang couldn't help but light up when he saw it. These yaks are all selected from the yaks transported from all over the world, which can be described as one in a thousand, and the head is huge. In good conscience, Kalwan also felt that the yaks he brought were good.

However, he was not convinced.

After all, Diao Yang is what his people are best at, and he can't grow the morale of others to destroy his prestige, so he said; "The yak is useless, it also needs to run fast, have enough endurance, and ride well, these are the keys, otherwise it will never be possible to win the championship of the sheep race.

"Thank you grandfather for your teachings, we will treat it well."

After saying a few words, Kalwan led them to settle the yaks in the corner of the manor where the cattle were grazing, and then took them to sit inside.

Most of the houses of the Tajiks are very large, generally four or five hundred square meters, in addition to the main house and bedrooms, there are livestock sheds, kitchens, guest rooms, and storerooms. The Kalwang family was a large family, and the children in the family did not live separately, but lived together, so the area was larger, at least three acres of land.

The day after tomorrow, the festival of celebrating the grape harvest has just begun, so there are no guests in the Kalwang house today, but everything has been arranged inside, not to mention the magnificence, but it is beautiful, with a strong Tajik national style.

Inside, the hall was already prepared with food for guests, such as bramak (milk batter), Telotti (ghee soaked naan), azhezik (oil dumplings), milk gnocchi, and other things, as well as boiled mutton. The Tajiks prefer to cook larger pieces of meat in clear water and eat them with salt, believing that the soup is original, and they call this method of eating meat "sirwu" (finger lamb).

When everyone was seated, the host Culwan warmly welcomed everyone to eat and drink.

Shi Wan'er stayed by his grandfather's side, and from time to time introduced the food on the table to Cai Hongming next to him. It can be seen that his grandfather is also very happy, otherwise he would not have gone to the inside to take out the wine that has been treasured for many years for everyone to drink. The home-brewed wine, with its natural and charming golden color, reflects a charming luster and stunning color in a white bowl.

Smell it, and an alluring aroma suddenly hits your nose.

Cai Hongming tasted it, and his eyes suddenly widened. This wine suddenly broke his perception of the wines sold in the market, he always thought that wines were sour, not so sweet. This wine is sweet with the acidity of grapes, which is really rare. It's a pity that the luminous cup is missing, otherwise it would really respond to Wang Han's sentence: "The glow-in-the-dark cup of grape wine, if you want to drink the pipa, urge immediately." ”

It's so good, if only I could take some back.

Cai Hongming thought that he should talk to his wife in the evening to see if he could bring some back, and he didn't need too much, just ten altars and eight altars.

Calwan didn't know that the grandson-in-law was beating him with wine, or he would have been kicked out.

At this time, a woman walked in from outside, and after greeting Kalwan, she ran to Shi Wan'er's side and said, "Ayiguli, you are finally here, I have been waiting for you for a long time." Let's go, I'll take you to see the good stuff. With that, he took Shi Wan'er's hand and walked out.

Kalwan couldn't help but glare at her, "Amina, didn't you see that there were still guests here?" ”

"Grandpa, I have something to do with Ayiguli?"

"If she doesn't come back, you have something, and if she doesn't come back, you have something, and you won't have a day of fineness." Culwan said huffingly.

"Grandpa, I'm really looking for Ayiguli." After speaking, he urged Shi Wan'er to go with her. Shi Wan'er was helpless, said a word to Cai Hongming, and walked out with her.

"Amina, they've been messing around since they were young, so leave them alone. Come, we drink our own. Calwan explained for his granddaughter and persuaded him to drink. Don't look at the old man's hair and beard, but the amount of alcohol is good.

The Tajiks speak Tajik, the language of East Iran, and until the 30s of this century had their own written language, Persian, which was gradually switched to Uyghur because Uyghur textbooks were used in schools. Nowadays, most Tajiks speak Tajik and Uyghur, but now that the number of outsiders doing business there is gradually increasing, and the government promotes Mandarin, many people can speak Mandarin, especially young people, most of them.

Although Kalwan is not a young man, he sometimes meets Mandarin speakers in business, and he has learned a lot from time to time, and he talks Mandarin to Cai Hongming. Fortunately, otherwise, Cai Hongming and the others would probably be ducks listening to thunder, and they would not have understood.

Amina excitedly pulled Shi Wan'er to her room and pulled out a cabinet of clothes to show her.

"Wow, that's a lot of beautiful clothes!"

The wardrobe is filled with colorful clothes, some embroidered with sequins and gold threads, which sparkle in the sun. As long as you are a woman, you can't ignore these beautiful clothes. Shi Wan'er was no exception, so she picked up one and tried it, and it felt quite suitable.

"Amina, where did you get so many clothes, how come I have never seen them?"

"Of course you haven't seen it, this is my latest design dress, and I brought it to you as a wedding gift. You're really not interesting enough to not notify me of your marriage, or I'll go over and celebrate with you. ”

"It's too far. In addition, my dad works in the government department, and now he is fighting corruption, so he doesn't dare to be too public, so he didn't call you, so as not to be publicized by people with intentions. ”

"Being an official is not free, and it is better for us to be small businessmen." Amina said as she lay on the bed.

"You are a small trader, you are a big star in our Tajikistan. Say, what's a new song coming out recently! Shi Wan'er was gesturing with her clothes while talking to Amina.

"I made a few music videos and released an album, which was beautiful. I'll show it to you. After Amina finished speaking, she jumped out of bed and ran out, seeing Shi Wan'er shaking her head.

Amina, an art student, came out and sang for a while after graduation, then went to sell clothes, and now runs a clothing factory by herself, and the business is not bad. However, he usually sings, and occasionally performs commercial performances, which is very famous in the western Xinjiang area and is very popular among young people. (To be continued......)
