Crossing the Western Tianshan Mountains

His words finally drew cheers. "Ah, Captain Wu, you can't go back on your word. We heard it all."

"It's not gentlemanly to go back on your word. We're having braised pork tomorrow!"

"We can't eat braised pork because Captain Wu is disloyal!"

……

Because of Li Jianguo's incident, the discipline of the entire engineering team was further standardized and strengthened. No matter whether it was technical personnel, leaders or members of other engineering groups, they were not allowed to act alone. To survey such a project, at least three people were required to go together at a time, and they had to report their route when leaving.

Fang Ya and Cheng Yue returned to the camp the next afternoon. Wu Yongjie rushed over immediately after hearing the news. Fang Ya was reporting to Ling Fengxi, "Li Jianguo said he would return to the West Tianshan project team within a week. He will definitely complete his mission with determination."

Wu Yongjie immediately puffed out his chest with pride. "I was saying, how could the people I lead be cowards? It's only a week. We can afford to wait."

In fact, because all kinds of equipment have not yet arrived at the designated location and temporary housing is still under construction, the preparation work will indeed take some time.

If Li Jianguo can come back within a week, it will have no impact on the progress of the project.

Ling Fengxi finally nodded, "This kid is good, then we will wait for him."

As they were talking, they heard a commotion outside. When they went out to see, they found that it was a staff member in the camp and an old man who was herding sheep.

Seeing Ling Fengxi coming out, Ye Minglang ran over to report, "Leader, this old man drove his flock of sheep onto the newly paved cement platform, leaving it all covered with sheep hoof prints. We scolded him a few times, but he still refused to do so."

Ling Fengxi felt that the old man looked familiar, and suddenly remembered that this was the old man Jiayi Laobai who gave each of them a sip of goat's milk last autumn. He looked the same, still wearing the same sheepskin coat, and he had not aged either. His face was like a sculpture, always looking the same.

Jiayi Laobai actually remembered Ling Fengxi. He stopped arguing with the young people and walked up to Ling Fengxi, saying in a reproachful tone, "This land is my farmland! You can trample on it however you want! You've messed it up like that. It's wrong. The mountain will be angry!"

Ling Fengxi first greeted the old man, "Old man, it's you." He reached out and shook his hand, then said to Wu Yongjie, "Look, who is he?"

Wu Yongjie also recognized him at this time, and immediately walked over to hug him warmly, "Old man, nice to see you again! The milk you gave me last year was so delicious. Did you bring any milk today? I still want some!"

Some emotions finally emerged from Jiayi Laobai's cloudy eyes. If others treated him badly, he wouldn't think there was anything wrong. But if others treated him well, he wouldn't know how to deal with it. At this time, he could only pat the milk bottle at his waist and say, "There's no more today. If you want to drink, bring it tomorrow!"

Wu Yongjie's eyes lit up with excitement. "We agreed to come tomorrow!"

Jiayi Laobai became angry again, "No! If my sheep are not allowed here, I won't come either!"

Wu Yongjie asked, "What's going on?"

Someone reported Ye Minglang's report to Wu Yongjie. Wu Yongjie's face flashed with impatience, and he shouted, "Can you blame the old man for this? You just mopped the floor, why didn't you put a line to separate it?"

"But this is a construction site and outsiders are not allowed to enter." Someone argued.

"Stop talking! Hurry and reapply the cement before it dries. We'll handle this here."

Wu Yongjie sent the workers away and looked at Jiayi Laobai's flock of sheep. It was very large, with at least more than 200 sheep. At this moment, these sheep had been driven to the hillside near the camp to graze.

Actually, there is not much grass this season...

Ling Fengxi had already brought out some hot tea and two loaves of bread, which he handed to Jiayi Laobai. "You are young and ignorant. I offended you. This is to apologize to you."

Jiayi Laobai accepted the food without hesitation, took a bite of the dry bread, and said, "This isn't authentic! But food can't be wasted. I'll take it back to Hu'er."

Later, Ling Fengxi and the others found out that the tiger that Jiayi Laobai was talking about was a dog in his family.

And the next day, Jiailaobai did bring them a large bucket of hot milk and five or six freshly baked breads. When he delivered them to the camp, Wu Yongjie was deeply moved.

It was difficult for Jiailaobai to deliver these things by himself, so he and his granddaughter Gulinar pushed a jujube wood wheelbarrow they made themselves to deliver them.

Ye Minglang stared blankly at Gulinar's beautiful, exotic face. He didn't come to his senses until someone bumped into him. He quickly helped Gulinar get the hot milk off the cart. Gulinar spoke in pure Mandarin, "Thank you. Are you also a staff member here?"

Ye Minglang blushed and nodded, "Yes, you, you go to school here?"

This made Gulinar burst out laughing. "Where can I go to school here? I have to go to the county or city. I don't go to school anymore."

"But you look so young."

"I'm nineteen years old." Compared to Ye Minglang's embarrassment, Gulinar was very confident and confident.

Jiayi Laobai suddenly glared at his granddaughter sternly, "Don't be fooled by the boys here... They are from the city and need to go back to the city."

Gulinar still smiled and said, "Ata, I'm very smart. No one can fool me."

Ye Minglang also nervously explained, "I am very honest and never lie."

Jiayi Laobai said: "You can't tell his temperament from his appearance. An honest person's heart is wrapped in a steamed bun cloth. Honest people are the best at deceiving others!"

Ye Minglang kept crying out that he was innocent.

The conversation between the three of them made even Ling Fengxi, who didn't like to laugh, laugh. Cheng Yue, on the other hand, only focused on Gulinar's beauty. She whispered, "She's so beautiful! It turns out those beautiful Kazakh women on TV are real. And her clothes are so special. I want one of those, too."

Gulnar wore traditional Kazakh clothing, a Shawulek hat on her head and a Keyimchek long skirt. The neckline, cuffs and hem of the skirt were heavily embroidered with rich colors, mainly red, blue and green.

Gulinar's beautiful face, brilliant smile, and fiery red dress made her look like a little sun, illuminating the entire hillside.

Some workers heard that a beautiful Hasa had come to the camp, and they all rushed over to see her, but Wu Yongjie drove them away like a flock of sheep.

While rushing, he also said, "More classes! More classes! Five classes a week! Learn the five teachings and four beauties for me, and don't miss a single class!"
