My beautiful boss and I

Qiu Tong pointed to the upper bunk and said to his sister-in-law, "sister-in-law, these bunks are empty. You and your children can sleep on them."

My sister-in-law said timidly, "sister, this How come I didn't buy a hard seat. I bought a station ticket. It's a soft berth. I can't afford the ticket We're going to be fined when the shopkeeper comes. "

Qiutong took the child from my arms and said to his sister-in-law solemnly, "don't worry, sister-in-law, this upper berth is bought by two of my friends. They are free when they don't come. Anyway, it's a waste of time to be free. You and the child can sleep here without money Here comes the inspector. I have a ticket in my hand. "

My sister-in-law looked at Qiutong and me gratefully and said, "Oh, thank you. Thank you so much. In fact, I'm not afraid of being frozen. I'm just suffering, my child Sister, brother, you are really good people... "

I look at Qiu Tong. She looks ashamed now. She stops talking and helps her sister-in-law to get on the upper bunk. She settles the sleeping child in another upper bunk, covers the quilt and carefully tucks in the corner.

I also put my sister-in-law's luggage on the rack.

My sister-in-law may be very tired and soon fall asleep.

At this time, Qiutong and I sat back in the distance. Qiutong whispered to me: "ah, I always feel uneasy because I've done something bad. Now it's OK. I'll make up for it."

Finish saying, autumn Tong suddenly vomited next tongue, proud ground laughed next.

Looking at Qiutong's rare childish smile, I can't help trying to squeeze her delicate nose, but I dare not do it.

"Ah - sleep, cloud, her elder brother!" Qiu Tong closed the door of the carriage, turned off the light, went back to his bunk, lay down, pulled on the quilt, and said, "with a big bodyguard here, I can have a good sleep The wheels are rolling towards the grassland. Tomorrow we will see the snow covered grassland in winter. Excited Good night

"Good night, Mr. Qiu!" Although Qiu Tong is joking with me by drinking, I dare not be presumptuous.

Soon, Qiutong calmed down and seemed to fall asleep.

I lay on the bunk, thinking about the conversation with Qiutong tonight. I didn't fall asleep for a long time

I didn't fall asleep until I passed Shenyang station.

In my sleep, I dream of the clouds, the scene of me and the clouds galloping on the magnificent and beautiful prairie in autumn, the scene of the clouds letting me put flowers in her bun by the crooked River, and asked me whether she was beautiful. In my dream, I vaguely heard the melodious and moving song of the clouds

Suddenly, I dreamt of the clouds all covered with blood

All of a sudden, I opened my eyes.

When I opened my eyes, I was excited again. Qiutong was sitting on the opposite bunk, elbow on the tea table, chin in hand, gazing at me thoughtfully!

I sat up and looked at Qiutong.

When did the girl wake up? How long has she been watching me? Does she look at me like that? Studying me that she couldn't figure out? Or miss the guests in the air?

Qiu Tong seemed to be startled by my series of actions. She didn't seem to think that I would wake up suddenly. She trembled all over and quickly moved her eyes away. Then she gently licked her lips as if nothing had happened and said, "ah, it's daybreak, you wake up I just woke up a few minutes ago. "

With that, Qiutong picked up her washing supplies and went out to wash her face and brush her teeth.

I sat there for a while, looking out of the window, the whole world was white, the snowflakes in the sky were still flying, and the snowstorm did not seem to weaken.

I got up, also went to line up to wash, met the conductor, asked, another 2 hours to Tongliao.

Back in the carriage, Qiutong has gone to the dining car to buy breakfast, and is inviting her wake-up sister-in-law, mother and daughter to eat together.

During the conversation, we learned that the elder sister-in-law was working with her husband in a clothing processing factory in Xinghai. This time, she was taking her children home for the new year.

When she asked her husband why he didn't go back for the new year, her sister-in-law looked proud. She said that because her husband was usually active, he was promoted to monitor by his boss. This time, the boss selected several people to be on duty for the festival. Fortunately, her husband was chosen, so she took her children home for the new year.

"Not everyone can have such opportunities and glory." My sister-in-law said, "on the one hand, it shows that the boss looks up to me. On the other hand, I can get three days' salary a day and earn a lot more money."

Qiutong and I looked at each other, and I felt a lot of emotion in my heart. I asked where my sister-in-law came from? My sister-in-law said she was from Tongliao, and then she asked where we were going.

I said the address of Yunduo's home. My sister-in-law said that she knew there. We got off from Tongliao and turned to the bus. She was on the same road with her. Her home was in the village by the road. Then we went down the road to Yunduo's home, which was about 30 kilometers away from her home. It was a relatively remote New Village for herdsmen to live in. However, my sister-in-law said that the dirt road must have been closed and could not be seen in such a heavy snowstorm, and it would not be able to pass until it thawed on a sunny day.

As soon as I heard it, I was worried. It's easy to say on a sunny day, but when will it thaw? It's so cold that it's hard before the Spring Festival!I took a look at Qiutong, her face also showed a worried look.

"Sister-in-law, we are going to visit a friend's family there. We have a tight time to go back and forth. We can't afford to delay. You are a local. Can you do something to help us?" Qiu Tong said.

The elder sister-in-law listened to Qiu Tong's words and thought about it for a long time. She said, "there's one way. It's to find a local guide who is familiar with the terrain to take you there. The car must not pass. Either ride a horse or ride a horse to pull a plow."

"Is the guide easy to find?" Hope came to my heart and asked my sister-in-law.

My sister-in-law thought again and said, "well, after you get off the bus, come to my house with me first. I'll ask my father-in-law that he is an old grassland Herder. There is no terrain that he is not familiar with for hundreds of kilometers around I'll let him take you there. "

"Ah - great!" Qiu Tong cried happily and said, "sister-in-law, it will trouble you and your father-in-law. It's just that the weather is so bad for the old man's health."

"That's no problem, my father-in-law explained. Although he is 60 years old, he can ride a horse to graze, cut grass, transport materials and clean up the livestock pen. That's all right. It's no worse than young people!" The elder sister-in-law's face again showed a proud expression: "sister, don't say trouble. It's lucky to meet you on the way home. Otherwise, the child is really frozen. I'm trying to figure out how to repay you It's just a chance. "

I said: "sister-in-law, you are welcome. Although you say so, I will still pay your father-in-law. I can't let the old man work in vain."

The elder sister-in-law's face showed the expression of self-esteem, and said displeased: "brother, why do you look at money in your eyes? We don't have much money, but we can't accept your reward Fortunately, he said to me that if my father-in-law heard me, he would be angry. He would never take you. His temper is stubborn We grassland people, the biggest characteristic is hospitable, warm and frank

My sister-in-law said that I was a little ashamed, hot and moved. I can't help thinking of the kind, honest and simple cloud family

Qiu Tong looked at my embarrassment: "poof - Chi -" can't help laughing.

When my sister-in-law took her child to the bathroom, Qiutong happily said to me: "Yike, this is the old saying that good people are rewarded..."

I nodded: "yes!"

"Ah - I've never been on a horse drawn plow before. It must be great to ride on a plow and run on the endless snow field." Qiu Tong said with an expression of fascination and excitement.

Qiu Tong's words made me feel excited.

More than 10 a.m., we arrived in Tongliao, and then took a bus to fight against the wind and snow for 2 hours to arrive at my sister-in-law's house.

At my sister-in-law's house, we were warmly received by my sister-in-law's father-in-law and mother-in-law. Her father-in-law is Mongolian. He is tall and strong. He has a long beard on his chin. His weather beaten bronze face is engraved with years of wind and frost. He must be a tough Mongolian man when he was young. Although the elder sister-in-law speaks some stiff Chinese, it does not hinder communication.

Sitting on the hot Kang of my sister-in-law's house, Qiutong and I drank sweet mare's milk, tasted simple cheese, and ate delicious hand grazed mutton.

Qiu Tong and I called my sister-in-law uncle, and he readily agreed, with a curled beard on his chin.

When Qiutong and I had dinner, uncle had already set up a plow outside and was ready to start.

Before leaving, Qiu Tong was a little upset. He took out two bottles of hardbound Red Star Erguotou and gave it to uncle. Uncle accepted it happily.

Then, uncle asked Qiutong and I to sit on the plow. After sitting down, he took out two thick blankets for us to wrap in to keep out the cold.

"It's wolf skin felt. I made it with wolf skin in my early years." Uncle said to Qiutong and me in stiff Chinese.

I can't help but raise a sense of respect for my uncle. I seem to see my uncle galloping on the grassland to catch wolves when he was young

Look at Qiu Tong, also with the same expression as I look at uncle in awe.

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

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

It's very quiet in the wilderness. Apart from the whirring wind, I hear the rhythmic sound of horse hoofs

Uncle is very familiar with the road conditions, driving the plow to the distant sky
