Miao Miao looked at Calebiyat's eyes with appreciation.

He gave a thumbs up and praised sincerely: "You are really amazing, breeding cattle and sheep is also using your brains to study breeding knowledge." ”

Calebiyat, a college student who has returned to his hometown to start a business, is a new type of herdsman with thoughts, ideas and aspirations.

Calbiat smiled shyly, noncommittal.

Two young men were busy for three days, finally pulling five tons of fodder into a pickup truck to the adobe house.

In order to prevent the feed from being soaked in snow and water, Miao Miao and Calebiyat built a temporary hood on top of the stacked feed.

Everything was arranged, and the two young men finally took a breath.

In the pen, many ewes gave birth to lambs.

More than 50 pairs of ewes and lambs are kept in the barn.

Miao Miao held a bundle of corn straw and scattered it on a wooden plank.

Seeing the silly appearance of more than 50 lambs following the mother sheep inch by inch, Miao Miao smiled.

In particular, the dozen or so black lambs look almost exactly like their own black teddy black beans.

Miao Miao held her mobile phone and slapped at the little black lamb for a while.

He has been living in the temporary winter pasture of the Calebiyat family for five days.

Miao Miao planned to drive away that night, but she was too embarrassed to refuse the graciously retained by the three members of the Calebiyat family, so she had to stay overnight.

The sky was dark, the sky was gray, and the black clouds in the west were scattered in the air, unable to hide the orange sunset.

In winter, the wilderness is devoid of green accents, and looks dilapidated and deserted.

This remnant glow brings a trace of incomplete and tragic beauty to the gray world.

Miao Miao and Calebiyat stood on the barren slope in front of the house and peed freely.

Two young men are like naughty boys of a few years old competing to pee far, full of childishness and fun.

Suddenly, the large black and white sheepdog barked fiercely at the wild grass to the south.

The barking of dogs startled the birds that landed in the grass.

Miao Miao and Calebiyat were stunned by the sudden scene in front of them.

A large area of birds larger than sparrows flapped their wings and flew in a southeasterly direction, and the black oppression seemed to be at least a thousand birds that could not be seen clearly.

This group of birds does not fly high, flying about a meter close to the ground, and the flock of birds that has become a scale flutters their wings and makes a loud sound of "buzzing" and "shuo suo".

The sight of the birds soaring and the dull sound are quite spectacular.

Miao Miao looked at the flocks of birds in surprise and asked curiously, "What kind of bird is this?" ”

Calebiyat looked up at the Wusun Mountain in the south, and said with experience: "It is the croaking old eagle, it seems that the snow in the Wusun Mountain is too thick, and the birds on the mountain cannot eat, so they all fly down from the mountain to feed." ”

I heard that the birds in the mountains flew down to feed, and wondered how the cattle and sheep grazing in Calbiat survived the winter.

Miao Miao asked worriedly and with concern, "Now that the snow has melted on the ground, the cattle and sheep can still eat grass, and after a while, when it comes to the cold days of the ninth day, after the snow covers the cornfield, what can the cattle and sheep do?!" ”

Looking at his friend's anxious face, Calebiyat explained with a smile, "You went to my house and didn't see the fully enclosed enclosure at the back of the yard?!" There is no grass to eat in the winter pasture, so we drive the cattle and sheep back to our home in Hongqi Village to raise them, and when the snow begins to melt, we will drive the cattle and sheep back, and the shed will be dismantled in March next year. Perhaps, however, by March next year, we will run out of cattle in our herds. My cattle and sheep have been grazing for a long time, and there are many customers who buy them. When it snows, cattle and sheep can use their hooves to plow the dead grass in the snow, and there is nothing to answer (nothing). ”

That night, Calebiyat received a call from the party secretary of Hongqi Village.

Putting down the phone, he told Miao Miao excitedly.

Deputy county magistrate Rong Sen discussed with the leaders of Hongqi Township to use a certain amount of funds for the Xinjiang aid project to support the development and expansion of animal husbandry in Calbiat.

At the beginning of spring next year, he will raise a few local Wusun horses in Ningxi.

Miao Miao knew that the local Wusun horse in Ningxi was handsome in appearance, tall in physique, and powerful and docile in character.

Calebiyat excitedly recounted the reason for raising horses, "Our local Wusun horses are disease resistant and adaptable, weighing more than 400 kilograms, and they can earn a lot of money a year by selling horse meat." Do you know, Miao Miao, I want to be an Internet celebrity on Douyin, broadcast my family's breeding of horses, cattle and sheep live, and help the herdsmen in Hongqi Village and even Hongqi Township to open up sales. ”

Miao Miao nodded in approval, and asked carefully about some basic common sense of raising livestock.

Like most herders in the grasslands, Calebiyat is enthusiastic about the development of aquaculture.

Miao Miao felt that the room was a little cold, lifted the lid of the stove, and put three pieces of cow dung inside.

When the dung burns, the flame is pale yellow, with only a faint yellow smoke, and the fire is soft, and the burning ashes become pale white.

After living here for a few days, Miao Miao found that dried cow dung cake was really good fuel for herders, and the air exuded a natural smell of grass, warm and fragrant.

The two young men talked late at night around the iron stove, and Calebiyat took a cucumber as a snack and drank a few glasses of white wine.

When Miao Miao asked him if he regretted becoming a herdsman as a college student.

Calebiyat's eyes shone brightly, "No regrets, without the support of the state, I would have dropped out of college." In the past two years, the state has encouraged college students to return to their hometowns to start businesses, and I should respond to the call to return to my hometowns to start businesses. ”

Miao Miao thought that the three sheds were already covered with a layer of cow and sheep dung, and said with concern: "Calebiyat, in the spring of next year, your cow and sheep dung can't be sold, so I'll help you sell it." ”

Looking at the mystery on Miao Miao's face, Calebiyat raised his eyebrows and asked, "Do you have a way?" ”

Miao Miao told him truthfully, "My dad and his friends both grow orchards, and they are making organic apples, and they are using farm fertilizer. Every year, you have to buy more than 100,000 yuan of cow and sheep dung, and fertilize the fruit trees after fermentation, so that your cow and sheep dung will not be sold. ”

"Okay, then I'll sell it to your family at the beginning of spring next year." Calbiat replied excitedly, "In the past two days, my parents have been worried, and in the spring of next year, these cow and sheep dung will not be sold, so they will be brought back to my yard to put it." ”

"However, if you sell it to your home, it will be 10 yuan cheaper than the market price per cubic meter, okay? This year, the market price is 60 yuan per party, and you will sell it for 50 yuan. Calebiyat added generously.

The character of Kazakh herders is not only hospitable, but also straightforward and cheerful, and life is peaceful when encountered.

On this night, the two young people imagined a better life in the future.

After talking for a long time, I turned off the light and went to bed.

Snowflakes fluttered outside, and the snoring inside was even, quiet and serene.

Miao Miao, who was sleeping next to the window, was suddenly awakened by the sound of "moo" coming from her ears.
