Chapter 15: The yurt at dusk

Smoke from the yurt was rising and the smell of Matoya's dinner was already wafting through the air. She hurriedly leaned against the door of the yurt, looked at the real reality in front of her again, and shouted lovingly: Asgen, good son, don't make trouble, the sheep are all frightened.

Asgen was having so much fun that he didn't hear his mother's gentle reproach.

When the sheep were finally driven into the sheepfold, Agina jumped off his horse and closed the door. Then, the saddle was unloaded and put away, and the white horse was tied to a stake.

The sun is almost setting. The clouds in the sky, the mountains in the distance, the grasslands in the vicinity, and everything around them were dyed with a layer of gold.

The vast grassland has quieted down, but the lively atmosphere inside and outside the yurt is rising.

The horses snorted loudly, the sheep bleated one after another, and the chirping of some grass insects such as grasshoppers was more like a performance. "Xiri" followed the fun, and from time to time "Wangwang" a few times. "Hari" did not pay attention to this, but found a high ground, squatted there and looked around.

Yes, "Xiri" always wants to be close to "Hari", but "Hari" doesn't give any face. It made "Xiri" very embarrassed, so he had to gather around the little master Asgen, begging for caresses and looking for the dignity of the "dog family".

Toya took out the basin and shouted, "Asgen, come and wash your hands." Seeing that you are so buried, you won't be allowed to eat if you don't wash well for a while.

Asgen let go of "Xiri" and ran to wash his hands, and in order to show his mother that he was hygienic, he also made an exception and took the initiative to wash his face. The little "trick" is really good, and it immediately won Toya's praise.

Asgen smirked at "West Ri", showing off that he "needs brains to do things".

…………

Agina arranged everything before walking towards the flickering candlelight yurt. He looked up at the wind turbine and shook his head helplessly.

Without wind, wind turbines become a kind of ornament. In the past, when I was alone, it didn't matter if there was electricity or not, and it didn't make a difference to turn the lights on and off, even if the lights were bright, the one who was reflected was alone. Today is different, the first time a family of three gathered in the yurt of the ranch, it was the time when the light was needed, but there was no wind on the grassland, which was really disappointing.

The sun reluctantly fell to the other side of the mountain, and put the last light into the black bag. The prairie darkened, and the smell of night became stronger.

Agina glanced at the wind turbine again, and scolded in his heart: You loser, you really don't give me a long face!

At the critical moment, it was not only the wind turbine that dropped the chain, but also the big yellow dog "Xiri".

Asgen washed his face and prepared to enter the yurt, "Xiri" also swaggered in, how could the small space of the yurt allow it to be unscrupulous, Toya's reprimand, frightened "Xiri" quickly ran out, but knocked over Asgen's washbasin, and the water spilled all over it. "Xiri" was stirred by the water, frightened, and ran desperately to the hillside.

As soon as Asgen saw "Xiri" running out, he shouted "'Xiri'—'Xiri'—and followed after him.

How can a small child catch up with a mad dog? "West Sun" disappeared into the darkness. Agina hurriedly ran over to pick up his son, but he struggled and shouted to find "Xiri".

Agina: You go back to the yurt and wait, Daddy will look for it.

Asgen disagreed, and had to follow, Toya came out of the yurt, and just wanted to have a hot temper, and when she saw her son's anxious appearance, she patiently comforted him: Asgen, "Xiri" will not run far, it is so dark outside, it is also afraid, and when it is afraid, it will come back by itself. The son is obedient, let your father go and find it, and we will wait here.

Asgen: Mom, is "West Ri" really coming back?

Toya: Yes, Mom doesn't lie to you. It was just taken aback, and it will definitely come back in a moment. It is reluctant to leave you.

Agina took the opportunity to summon "Hari" and walked into the darkness with a flashlight.

Hari was a clever shepherd dog who knew his owner's intentions and ran straight out. After a while, I don't know what method "Hari" used, but he really brought "Xiri" back.

Asgen, who was waiting at the door of the yurt, saw the figure of "Xiri", rushed up and hugged him. It's good that all the water on "Xiri" is "transferred" to him. Toya was so angry that he took off all of Asgen's clothes and soaked them in the basin of water, thinking not to ruin the cozy yurt dinner. Because he didn't prepare a change of clothes for his son, Asgen had to go to the "dinner party" naked.

…………

Since the wind level on the grassland was too small during this time, the batteries of the wind turbines could not store much electricity, so candles came in handy. On the basis of the original one, Toya deliberately ordered another one when eating, she likes the feeling of brightness and brightness, representing a pursuit and desire for a better life. A candlelight dinner in a grassland yurt began in this warm and happy atmosphere.

Although the dinner is not sumptuous, compared to the meals that Agina usually makes alone, it is really like the New Year.

Asgen, who was bare-bottomed, picked up his chopsticks and was about to pick up the vegetables, but Toya held him down and pointed at Agina. Asgen blushed.

Agina: If the child is hungry, let's eat first.

Toya: No, that's the rule.

Agina sat down next to Asgen, touched his son's head, and picked up the food and fed him.

Asgen pointed to the plate and said, "I want to eat meat."

"Little gluttonous cat." Agina said, picking a large piece of meat and feeding it to his son.

Toya was just about to sit down to eat, and as if suddenly she remembered something, she stood up and took out a plastic jug from a cupboard, poured a glass of wine and brought it to Agina.

Agina took it with both hands, and took a sip without putting it on the table.

Toya put vegetables in the bowl for her son, but Asgen picked out a piece of meat and threw it to the big yellow dog "Xiri" outside the door. Then he looked at his mother and stuck out his tongue.

Agina dipped a little wine with chopsticks and wanted to hand it to Asgen to lick, but was stopped by Toya, who pretended to cover his mouth and said, "Spicy, don't."

Agina smacked the head of the chopsticks in her mouth vigorously, happy. Then he looked at the lit candles, then at the unlit light bulbs above his head, and frowned.

Toya: Don't worry, when we have enough money, we can get some solar panels. Like other people's farms, even if there is no wind, you can light up the lights at night as long as it is sunny.

Asgen cried out happily: Mom, we still need a new, bossy yurt at that time.

"Okay. How big do you want? Toya asked.

"Like—like a house in Sarentai—no—like a mountain." Asgenby replied with a gesture.

Agina laughed, but threw out two words:.

Toya: In addition to building a yurt – a yurt the size of a mountain – you also have to buy a big motorcycle......

…………

A bean light in the yurt shines through the curtain and casts a beam of light at the door, and "Xiri" lies next to the beam, his eyes staring into the distance. The big black dog "Hari" still found a place with a better view of the highland, and loyally took up the night shift.

Asgen fell asleep in the yurt. He was so tired from playing this day that he wouldn't have slept so early if he had been at home before.
