The sister-in-law's face showed an expression of hurt self-esteem and said unhappily, "brother, why do you look at money in your eyes? We don't have much money, but we can't accept your reward. Fortunately, I said it before me. If my father-in-law heard it, he would be angry. He would never take you. His temper is stubborn. Our grassland people are characterized by their hospitality. "

My sister-in-law's words made me a little ashamed, and my face was hot and moved. I can't help thinking of the kind, simple and honest cloud family.

Qiu Tong looked at my embarrassment: "Puff -" couldn't help laughing.

When my sister-in-law took her children to the bathroom, Qiu Tong happily followed me and said, "Yi Ke, this is the old saying. Good people have good returns."

I nodded: "yes!"

"Hey - I've never sat on a horse drawn plow before. It must be great to sit on the plow and run on the endless snow field!" Qiu Tong said with a yearning and excited expression.

Qiu Tong's words made me feel excited.

At more than 10 a.m., we arrived in Tongliao, then took the bus, tossed in the wind and snow for 2 hours, and arrived at my sister-in-law's house.

At her home, we were warmly received by her father-in-law and mother-in-law. The eldest sister-in-law's father-in-law is a Mongolian. He is tall and looks very strong. He has a long beard on his chin. His weather beaten bronze face is engraved with years of wind and frost. He must have been a tough Mongolian man when he was young. Although my sister-in-law's father-in-law speaks Chinese a little stiffly, it does not hinder communication.

Sitting on the warm Kang at my sister-in-law's house, Qiu Tong and I drank sweet horse milk, tasted simple cheese and ate delicious hand grabbed mutton.

Qiu Tong and I called my sister-in-law's father-in-law uncle. He readily agreed, and the beard on his chin turned up.

When Qiu Tong and I were having dinner, my uncle had set up a plow outside and was ready to start.

Before leaving, Qiu Tong felt sorry and took out two hardbound bottles of Red Star Erguotou to his uncle, who accepted it happily.

Then, uncle asked Qiu Tong and I to sit on the plow. After sitting down, he took out two thick blankets and let us wrap them around us to keep out the cold.

"This is a wolf skin felt. I made it from my own wolf skin in my early years." Uncle told Qiu Tong and me in stiff Chinese.

I can't help but pay a respectful tribute to my uncle. I seem to see my young uncle galloping his horse to catch wolves on the grassland

Look at Qiu Tong, looking at uncle in awe with the same expression as me.

"Well, girl, young man, sit still, we're going to start -" uncle sat in front of us and waved his whip: "pa -" a crisp sound exploded in the air. The two horses scrambled forward. Our plow began to slide quickly on the snow and went straight to the boundless snow field in the wind and snow.

There is no trace of any path in the grassland in the wind and snow. The vast snow covers and buries all traces and weeds on the grassland. Except white, it is white. Except the dark sky, it is the boundless silver and white world. There are no buildings and trees around. Only our plow moves forward in the snow.

The wilderness is very quiet. In addition to the whistling wind, I hear the rhythmic sound of horse hoofs

Uncle is very familiar with the road conditions and drives the plow towards the vast sky in the distance

I look at Qiu Tong. She is looking at everything around with joy and novelty.

"Hey -- hey -- hey -- yo --" with the crisp sound of the whip, uncle's rough and crazy voice suddenly sounded in the wind and snow: "Yo -- ah -- oh --"

Qiu Tong and I were attracted by uncle's voice. We looked ahead together and listened to uncle's loud singing.

"The horses on the grassland run fast. I'm so comfortable driving the plow... The eagles in the sky fly fast. I follow closely on the grassland... Happy flowers are in full bloom. The people in my heart are waiting for me to return... Beautiful girl, don't worry. Your relatives are returning home." Uncle's high voice floated in the wilderness.

Uncle doesn't speak Chinese very fluently, but he sings songs in Chinese to enunciate words, but his pronunciation is particularly clear and smooth.

Qiu Tong and I listened attentively. This situation, this scene and this song sounded particularly touching, even desolate and desolate.

Qiu Tong listened attentively, his face showed a moving expression, and even glittering things appeared in the corners of his eyes.

At this moment, I deeply realize that there are countless moves in life, but one is called vicissitudes, and another is called kindness.

When it was getting dark, we finally arrived at Yunduo's home. At this time, the herdsman lived in a quiet new village, and there was no trace of people. From the little lights coming out of the window, we could know that the herdsmen were at home.

The smoke from the chimney on the roof tells us that everyone is cooking dinner at the moment.

The wind and snow are still raging, and the cold wind is flying between the gaps of the house, sending out bursts of strange roars.

In front of Yunduo's house, uncle reined in his horse's reins and said, "Shh -" and the plow stopped at Yunduo's house.

The cloud house is lit, and the chimney on the roof is smoking.

"Here we are -" Uncle jumped off the plow, turned his head and said to us, patting the falling snow on his body.

Qiu Tong and I began to climb down the plow and take down our luggage.

Uncle took a big step and took the lead in walking to the door of Yunduo's house. As he walked, he shouted brightly: "old brother, there are guests at home - distinguished guests -"

With uncle's cry, the door opened, and Yunduo's parents appeared at the door. When they saw us, they were stunned. Then they were pleasantly surprised and invited us into the house.

As soon as I entered the room, I felt the warmth. The fire in the middle of the room was booming.

"Hey - President Qiu, Xiaoyi, you... Why did you come all of a sudden? Look at the snow. " Mother cloud asked us to sit down and pour us hot milk tea.

"Aunt, we are on a business trip through Tongliao. We just came to see you two!" Qiutong said to Yunduo's mother with a smile, and then pointed to uncle: "we can't find the road in the snowy day. Thanks to uncle who brought us... Uncle's house is by the road."

"Come on, brother - have a cigarette - it's hard for you in this snowy day!" Father Yunduo tenderly handed a cigarette.

"Oh, no, I'm not used to that cigarette. It's peaceful. I still like this --" the uncle smiled brightly, took a dry tobacco pipe from his arms, inserted it into the cigarette bag, picked up a pot of dry tobacco, lit it with a fire, smoked it with interest, and said, "these two children are good people from the city. When they came, they were on the train, My daughter-in-law and my granddaughter didn't buy a seat. They provided me with a soft bed... "

Qiu Tong and I smiled. Qiu Tong said, "uncle, you're welcome. You should. Anyway, the berth is empty."

"There are not many good people like you these days!" Big Bole said happily, "as soon as my daughter-in-law said you were coming here, of course I had nothing to say!"

Yunduo's parents nodded, and Yunduo's mother then asked us, "Hey, Mr. Qiu, it's almost the new year, and Yunduo is coming back from holiday for the new year, isn't it? Throughout the year, her father and I are at home, looking forward to the reunion these days. His brother Bartel is estimated to have a holiday, and he is estimated to be home in these two days. "

Qiutong and I looked at each other, then Qiutong smiled, looked at Yunduo's parents and said, "uncle, aunt, Yunduo won't come back for the new year this year!"

"Ah - what's the matter?" Yunduo's parents are surprised to see Qiutong.

"Well, that's right." Qiu Tong considered for a moment, summoned up his courage and said, "the company needs to arrange people to work overtime during the Spring Festival. Cloud is now the middle-level manager of the company. She needs someone to be on duty and can't get away."

Yunduo's father seemed to understand and said with some regret, "that's right!"

"Spring Festival duty." Mother Yunduo showed an extremely disappointed expression on her face and said, "how could this be so? Alas... You say this girl, why didn't you talk to her home early? She hasn't called her home for a long time."

Yunduo's father said at this time, "don't nag, old woman. Children do big things outside. Public and family things are no better than at home. We can't hold back children's career. Besides, the telephone line in this village has been cut off by the wind since the first heavy snow in winter. It hasn't been repaired yet. How can the child call back? Even if you want to make a phone call, you have to wait until the telephone line is repaired. "

As soon as I heard it, I burst out in a cold sweat. Looking at Qiu Tong, I also showed a palpitating expression on my face.

At this time, the uncle put in a word and said to Yunduo's mother, "old sister-in-law, it's reasonable for your family to be the head of the family. It's a public family job for children to do things outside. We should support the children's career more. So is the child of my family. We have to understand more when we work overtime in the factory during the Spring Festival and don't come back for the new year. Besides, there are plenty of opportunities for children to go home, and they don't have to spend the new year. "

Uncle and Yunduo's father said this. Yunduo's mother stopped talking, turned her face and wiped the corners of her eyes.

Poor mother's heart all over the world. I'm worried when I walk thousands of miles! Looking at the cloud mother's expression, my heart filled with unspeakable sadness.

Qiu Tong bit her lower lip tightly and looked at her mother in a daze. Her eyes looked envious and somewhat desolate.

Then, Qiu Tong suddenly smiled and said, "uncle, aunt, although Yunduo didn't come back, she asked us to bring back some things for your second old man, which are the new year goods issued by the company."

With that, Qiu Tong got up, bent over to open the box and began to take things out.

Qiu Tong bought a lot of things. In addition to the two bottles of Erguotou given to uncle, there are four bottles of Beijing Erguotou in fine packaging. The others are: two boxes of Xinghai Specialties - Liaoshen, two white scale fish, two big yellow croaker, as well as some meat products and dried fruits.

Qiu Tong took out everything in his bag and put it on the table. Everyone was dazzled.

"Oh - the child has been selling goods for so many years. They are all rare and precious things." Cloud father said, "these things are worth a lot of money."

"Hehe, it's just the company's welfare. There's more." Then Qiu Tong took out a bulging envelope from his bag and handed it to Yunduo's father: "uncle, this is the money Yunduo asked us to bring back. This is part of her usual savings and the company's year-end bonus... A total of 30000 yuan. Keep it!"
