Chapter 22: The Choice

The feast on the steppe continues. Some of the guests from afar are still tasting the wine and food, some people are full of wine and food, full of love, full of interest, and the beautiful and generous Tibetan girls hold hands, under their guidance to learn to dance the "pot dance", loud singing, dancing and joyful laughter, the luncheon pushed to the **.

"Distinguished distinguished guests, according to the arrangement of our chairman of Gesang Dunzhu, I will lead you to visit our famous scenic spots in Shangri-La from tomorrow," a beautiful female tour guide stood on the stage, holding a loudspeaker, and shouted to everyone, "Our famous scenic spots in Shangri-La include Pudacuo National Forest Park, Bita Lake, Dukezong Ancient City, Tibetan Home Visit, Songzanlin Monastery, Tiger Leaping Gorge and so on, we hope that this Shangri-La, where the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, the water is clear and the sky is blue, and the scenery is beautiful like a fairy tale, can leave a deep impression on everyone......"

There was a burst of warm applause and cheers from the crowd, which lasted for a long time.

On the other side, in Tashi Tsering's yurt, it was relatively quiet.

The family sat cross-legged on the kang, discussing the recent and upcoming events at home, and discussing their next steps.

Of all the topics to be discussed at this family meeting, the most important was naturally Tsering Bienchen's life event. Abba, Grandma and sister-in-law all believe that Tsering Bian Zhen is nineteen years old this year, and if he is not admitted to university, he will seriously consider the major event of marriage. Then, they talked about their impressions of the tile kid, and agreed that he was the best candidate at the moment.

Gesang Dhondrup drank steaming butter tea while quietly listening to every word they said.

After all of them had finished speaking, Kelsang Dunzhu was silent for a while. Tsering Bian Zhen saw his brother sitting still like a bodhisattva, and felt that the air was about to freeze. She was very anxious, but it was inconvenient for her brother to ask questions.

Gesang Dunzhu did not rush to evaluate Xu Dushan, but first lit a cigarette for Abba, and then lit another one himself. He spat out a few puffs of smoke rings, and then said slowly: "This tile boy, the origin is unknown, what the hell is he doing? Is he really a vagabond? Has he ever committed any crimes? Have you thought about all this? These questions have always worried me. ”

Tashi Tsering listened, frowned, and fell into deep thought.

"I don't think he's a bad person. Bian Ma Danzhen's eyes wandered, looking at her long-lost husband. "He is very diligent, honest and honest, he rushes to do everything, and everyone in the family likes him. ”

"You haven't stepped out of the prairie, the outside world is complicated. By feeling, I think this person has something on his mind. Gesang Dunzhu poured a sip of butter tea, "I'm just such a sister, I won't agree until I find out his identity." ”

He said this in a loud voice, but it was loud and clear, and there was no room for negotiation.

Tsering Bianzhen's heart seemed to be bound by something, and her breathing became almost stagnant. She wanted to say something, but she didn't dare to say it, she only felt as if something was choking in her throat.

She had always feared that her brother, whom she respected the most, and at the same time feared the most, would have a different opinion.

Now, the worst fears have finally happened. However, she could not refute it, let alone distinguish anything.

In this family, Gesang Dunzhu is the eldest in the family, and he is the most core person in the family, and has the greatest right to speak. His supreme dignity is innate, especially with the continuous improvement of his social status in recent years, the domineering spirit of not being angry has become stronger. The family felt that his words and deeds all reflected extraordinary weight, and no one had a better reason to question or even deny it.

At this point, Tashi Tsering spoke: "Since Gesang said so, let's do as he did." He glanced at his daughter, and when he saw that she was silent with her head down, he didn't say anything, but smoked one cigarette after another. He knew in his heart that Gesang Dunzhu was well-informed, and what he said naturally had his own truth. He has seen the world, unlike himself, whose footsteps will always stay in this prairie.

Kelsang Yangzong then said: "Tsering told me that he didn't plan to go to school, but that he wanted to stay and take care of us......"

"No! I'm going to go to college when I'm admitted to college. If she can't pass the exam, I will arrange for her to continue studying. Only when you go to college can you gain knowledge, and educated people are better than uneducated," Gesang Dunzhu's face changed, and he instantly raised his voice, he didn't wait for his grandma to finish speaking, so he categorically denied it, "Tsering applied for the University of Finance and Economics, according to her usual grades, she will definitely be admitted, and if she is admitted, she will have to continue to study!" After graduation, Tsering came to work in the company to help me. ”

Hearing these words, everyone wondered. People who are going to talk about marriage and marriage, what books do they still read? But I wonder and summarize, I don't understand, I don't understand, and no one dares to stand up and say half "disagree".

Tsering Bian Zhen was more anxious than anyone else at this time, her face was flushed, she was embarrassed and uncomfortable.

She was thinking that she had already given her body to Xu Dushan, and if something happened to him or her in the next few years, it would be impossible for the two of them to be together, how would this be good? After being silent for a while, Tsering Bian Zhen didn't know where the courage came from, gritted her teeth, shook her head, and suddenly said stubbornly: "I don't want to go! Studying in college is not interesting." I want to accompany Abba and Mommy and help with the work at home. ”

Kelsang Tondrup looked at his sister in surprise. He almost didn't believe that his sister, who had always been angry and didn't dare to breathe, actually said something against him. His complexion changed, but it quickly recovered. He looked at his sister, smiled, and said affectionately, "Sister, you are still ignorant. Listen to your brother, you will be a hundred times better in the future than you are now. ”

Tsering Bian Zhen bowed his head and was silent.

"Okay, okay, you just study hard at the university, and the tile boy will stay at home to help Abba and Grandma, and I will make other arrangements for him if the opportunity is right," Kelsang Dunzhu could only pretend to smile at ease when he saw this. He guessed his sister's thoughts, and then he added, "I agree with your business." But after you graduate, we'll consider a wedding for you. ”

Grandma said: "Gesang Dunzhu is right. Tsering, you better go to school! Anyway, you are still young, and you won't be able to delay anything if you get married in a few years. ”

"Just listen to Grandma. Grandma is very reasonable, and she is right. Abba, who has always been machismo, in order to win his wife's maximum tolerance for him in the matter of drinking, seized the fleeting opportunity, slapped his ass at the seams, and stood on the same position with his wife in time.

"Yes, Tsering, you have to listen to your brother, who thinks more long-term than you think. You just go to the university to study, and I take care of the family affairs, so you don't have to worry. Bian Ma Danzhen glanced at everyone and added butter tea to her husband's cup. And the tile children followed Abba's herd. Anyway it's a stray kid with nowhere to go. With us, you don't have to worry about food, clothing, and use, so what are you worried about?"

Tsering Bian Zhen did not say good, nor did he say bad. She drank the yogurt in the bowl and thought about something else.

Gesang Dunzhu thought that she had agreed, so he said: "Okay, five days later, Tsering will go to Kunming with me, get familiar with the situation in the company, and take care of me, and when the admission notice comes, I will send someone to take Abba Ama and your sister-in-law to Kunming together, and we will congratulate you." ”

"Great, great! The sooner the letter comes, the better!" Tashi Tsering was elated, immediately agreeing with his son's opinion.

Gesang Yangzong knew what her husband's flowery intestines were thinking, and she said to her daughter sitting beside her: "Look, your father is happy, and you will have good wine to drink when you arrive in Kunming." ”

Bian Ma Danzhen suddenly remembered something. She took off her tricorne hat made of otter fur, put it on her thigh, and said, "The tile boy will live here for a long time, and there is no bad name, so let's give him a name." ”

Tashi Tsering had just drunk with the guests, and at this time, his bronzed face shone brightly, and his mind became extremely quick. Listening to Bian Ma Danzhen's suggestion, his eyes blinked, and he said a name casually: "Meilang Dorjee." ”

"Wow-ha, Meilang Dorjee!" Kelsang Dunzhu slapped his thigh and laughed heartily, "Okay! Abba's head is so quick to react, so quickly he figured it out." ”

"Just drink something! And just the right amount of wine. Without wine, a big man is stupid and has no image. Tashi Tsering told his secret.

Gesang Dunzhu glanced at the lovely Aba and patted him affectionately on the shoulder. Then he said: "In the next few days, I will take my friends to a few scenic spots, and Bian Ma and Tsering will also go with them! ”

Xu Dushan did not attend Tashi Tsering's family meeting from the beginning to the end. He knew in his heart that he was still an outsider in Tashi Tsering's family, neither a relative nor a friend, and his current identity was just a visitor and a homeless man who was busy repaying them for saving their lives.

As for whether he can become a member of the Kelsang Dunzhu family in the future, he feels full of uncertainties. What's more, he had already read something from Gesang Dunzhu's eyes just now.

In the evening, the grand feast on the grassland ended. Gesang Dunzhu took Bian Ma Danzhen and Tsering Bian Zhen to Shangri-La County together.

That night, Gesang Tonzhu chose the best Tibetan hotel in Shangri-La County, the Tianjie Shenchuan Hotel, to receive these friends from all over the country.

Xu Dushan was busy all day, and when he returned to the yurt at night, he was about to lie down and rest, and found a note under the pillow.

My brother asked me to go to his company to help and take care of him. He wanted me to finish college before we could get married. In addition, our family gave you a name: Meilang Dorjee. I've been with my sister-in-law for a few days to accompany my brother's guests. Then I went straight to Kunming......!

Xu Dushan saw it, and his heart was melancholy. However, he then became happy, because Tashi Tsering's family did not let him leave, and he could continue to stay in this vast steppe across the world, avoiding possible wanted and pursuit by the police. This is the most extravagant thing for Xu Dushan.

Although he was sure that the whole family had fallen off a cliff and died, there was no place to bury them. However, every late at night, Tie Lianlian's terrible screams and chestnut shackles' angry eyes became his inexhaustible nightmares, making him suffer a lot.
