Chapter 289

Beijing West Railway Station is no longer familiar, but this time it is Gesang who comes here.A few days ago, when my father and mother said on the phone that they were coming over, Gesang had something on his mind.It can be seen that when he saw his father and mother for the first time, Kelsang greeted him with a smile. After leaving Qinghai for many years, Kelsang has never returned home.Grandma no longer wears a Tibetan robe like she did in her hometown, and her body no longer smells like butter. Instead, she puts on a dark plain dress. Looking at Dad’s original goatee, it is also shaved this time. Got to be clean.But my father’s old habit is still there. He likes to hold rosary beads in his hands and recite a few lines from Tibetan scriptures from time to time.

"Abba, Ama..." These four words, Gesang had not called out for a long time, and seemed a little unfamiliar. If he hadn't seen Abba and Ama from a distance, Gesang would have found it. Woolen cloth.

When my mother saw Gesang, she looked at her daughter carefully. After a long time, she said in immature Qingpu language, "Girl, you have lost weight. What's going on? Didn't you eat well here?"

"No, grandma, the food here is very good." Gesang replied, "It's just that I've been too busy recently, so I basically don't eat on time."

Dad said, "No matter how busy you are, you still have to eat two. Look, you are exactly the same person now as when you left Qinghai. The mutton here is not as fragrant as the mutton back home."

What Abba said makes sense, indeed.But now, Gesang looked at the older Abba and Mama in front of him and didn't know what to say. He could only nod quietly, and then helped carry the luggage, "Abba, Mama, I will take you to find it first. A place to live.”

Abba said, "Okay, just find a cheap place. We are here just to see you. By the way, there is something else we want to tell you."

Abba's words made Gesang think more. She remembered that Amuna's parents used the same rhetoric when they came to Beijing a few days ago, but in the end, the relationship between the family was not good.Thinking of this, Gesang asked Abba directly, "What's the matter, Abba, just tell me."

Gesang's father glanced at his grandmother. He understood with her look and said, "Let's find a place to live."

Gesang didn't ask any more questions, she was just like a tour guide.After getting into the car, I introduced the scenery along the way to Beijing to my parents.For my parents who have never been out of Qinghai, this time is an eye-opener.When passing by Chang'an Street, I saw the majestic Tiananmen Square. My father took out his mobile phone to take pictures, and my mother was beside me and gave instructions on how to take good pictures.

It's just that there are too many scenery along Chang'an Street. After leaving Chang'an Street and arriving at the scenic spots along the central axis, my father was very happy to take pictures.Seeing his parents' happy expressions, Gesang said directly, "Abba, if you want to play, I will show you around in the next few days."

"Okay, okay, what about your work?" Grandma asked

Fortunately, I had said hello to the studio before, and Gesang felt confident and said, "You can take time off at work. I have told Sister Juan about it. Oh, by the way, Sister Juan is my boss, and now she is also very The heir of the Relic Silk Man."

Gesang gave a brief introduction, and a look of surprise flashed across my mother's face. Then she regained her composure and said, "Gasang, what are the prospects of this silk man you mentioned? Is it easy to spread the intangible cultural heritage here in Beijing?"

"Actually, it's not very easy. Sister Juan's studio has just got on the right track and has experienced a lot of difficulties before. Intangible cultural heritage is very difficult in any place, whether it is Beijing or Qinghai." Gesang To put it simply, mom and dad knew the answer, and they became more determined about the real purpose of coming to Beijing this time.Gesang mistakenly thought that his father and mother were interested in his work, so he said, "There is also work in the studio today. Why don't you go to where I work and have a look, so that you can rest assured?"

Seeing that Gesang was so enthusiastic, his parents didn't think so and still wanted to find a place to live first before talking about other things.Gesang spent a long time selecting on her mobile phone before finally booking a similar hotel. She showed her mobile phone to her grandma, "Mom, we will go to this hotel in a minute, and you will stay here for a few days."

Grandma Gesang nodded. She was used to living in the grassland, and she didn't know how to live in a hotel like this in a big city. "Okay, just look at the arrangements. I'll put down my things later and go to where you live." Ah. Is renting a house cheap here in Beijing? How is the environment of the house you live in? "

"The price is okay. The house I live in costs 1600 a month, including the water and electricity bills. The house is not bad. It is enough for one person to live in." Gesang replied
"That's fine, as long as you live comfortably alone. This big city is not as good as our grassland, and I don't know if you were accustomed to the local environment when you came to Beijing? You didn't tell us any of this, so you just left alone. "Abba said, slowly telling the past things.

This incident happened a few years ago, but now Gesang doesn't want to mention it.Seeing that Gesang was in trouble, the mother felt that she had a lot to say just like Gesang's father, but in the end she took her daughter's feelings into consideration and waved her hand to Gesang's father.

Abba stopped talking and closed his eyes slightly. He was still chanting sutras in his mouth, and the beads in his hand were slowly spinning. He seemed to be in concentration, but in fact his mind was unsettled.The driver, who was driving the car, had been listening quietly to the family's conversation along the way, but as soon as Kelsang's father recited sutras, he dozed off.Then he started looking for a topic to talk about, "You're here for a trip, right? I guess you're from the northwest?"

Sure enough, after the driver said something, Abba Kelsang opened his eyes and the beads in his hand stopped spinning.Grandma replied, "The girl is in Beijing. Let's come over to see how she is doing."

"There are too many people coming to Beijing to work hard now. The girls here always report good things but not bad things. It should be the happiest thing for her that you can come. They say that when a son travels thousands of miles away, the mother is worried. She should be fine now. Reunion and reunion." The driver was eloquent, and even after saying a few words, Kelsang's mother agreed.

Qinghai people are honest, say whatever they want, and are not defensive about anyone.After listening to the driver's conversation, Kelsang's grandmother also opened up her chat box and said, "This girl came to Beijing by herself back then and never said hello to her family. It has been several years since she left home, and she has always used her mobile phone. I contacted her and came to see her this time. She has lost too much weight."

Gesang didn't expect that his grandmother would tell him about this past incident.Abba was anxious this time and said in Qinghai dialect, "You keep quiet (stop talking). These things are not allowed to be said, so why are you saying them out? (I) told you before you came here, talk to me Be careful when talking. Hey, you, you still can’t control your mouth even though you’re old.”

"You should be quiet (or stop talking), don't you want to say these things even if I don't say them? Okay, okay, stop talking, the girl is still here."

The parents quarreled for a while, but Gesang just looked on and said nothing.She knew it was her fault. When the driver saw that the family was arguing, he stopped feeling sleepy and stepped on the accelerator to go straight to his destination.
