Crossing the Western Tianshan Mountains

Ye's mother and Gulinar had a public falling out. Gulinar felt awkward wherever she went. Even when she went to the cafeteria to eat, a worker took the opportunity to start a fight, saying, "Little Guli, why don't you give up Comrade Ye and consider me? I'm not as handsome as Comrade Ye, but I will definitely treat you better."

"Little Guli, there are always better flowers in the world. Find a better one!"

"Xiao Guli, please consider us. We are willing to stay and accompany you to herd sheep from now on."

……

Even when she was making milk tea for everyone, she was teased like this. Although she knew that the workers had no ill intentions, how could Gulinar stand it?

In the end, he chose to quietly leave the camp and return to his home temporarily.

In fact, she spent most of the year in the camp, and her parents did not object, mainly because of Su Binghe. Since the Su Binghe incident, her "status" in the family has been bad. Her parents also felt that since there was Ye Minglang, the man who loved her, in the camp, it would be good for her to follow Ye Minglang, so they tacitly let Gulinar stay in the camp.

Gulinar was really busy in the camp and helped everyone a lot. She even refused to accept her salary. In the end, Ye Minglang collected it on her behalf and gave it to her in installments with various reasons. However, she felt that Ye Minglang gave her too much, so she secretly saved all the money.

After returning home, except for Jiayi Laobai and Nurlan, her parents were still indifferent to her. They didn't care whether she came back or not. They even blamed her for coming back and not working hard in the camp.

But Nurlan was more informed and already knew what had happened. She quietly pulled Gulinar to a secluded place and asked, "Sister, is it because of Su Binghe's incident that Ye Minglang's mother dislikes you?"

Ever since that incident, Nurlan would wander around this vast grassland whenever he had time, and would also visit nearby pastures and herdsmen, looking for Su Binghe everywhere. But he seemed to have disappeared from this world, which made Nurlan unable to breathe. After holding it in for so long, the anger in his heart grew stronger.

Looking at his cold and angry eyes, Gulinar held her hand and said, "Brother, let's not think about this anymore. Ye Minglang's mother didn't do anything to me, nor did she dislike me. Ye Minglang will resolve the issue between me and her mother. I just want to come back and live with her for a while."

Nurlan was young after all, so he nodded immediately.

Unexpectedly, she welcomed an uninvited guest the next day after she returned home. It was Azati, whom she had not seen for a long time. The young man from ethnic minority who said he was going to Shanghai to work and stopped the construction team from working because he felt that the mountain god was roaring had returned from Shanghai as early as the beginning of the year.

After a walk around the city, he seemed more mature than before. His eyes were no longer the gloomy and stubborn color they used to be, but had become more smooth and sophisticated.

He was smoking a cigarette, but it was not the grass cigarette that herdsmen usually smoke, but a cigarette with a filter tip, and he smoked it in a very stylish manner, looking quite like the real deal.

"Guli, the people in the city are very shrewd. They will coax us like fools, be wary of us like liars, and look down on us like beggars... At the same time, they will fight us like bandits. I don't think it's a good idea for you to marry into the city. Otherwise, you should stay with me."

Azati spoke bluntly, but Gulnar laughed. "Azati, you don't like cities because you've failed there. There are good people in cities. Look at Secretary Ling, Captain Wu, and Doctor Fang. They're all from cities too. Why are they so good?"

Azati seemed to know that he could not persuade Gulinar, so he said, "In short, if you don't get married, I won't get married either. I will wait for you. And Guli, I think you will definitely be my wife in the end."

"No, I will marry Ye Minglang, and I will only marry him."

Perhaps to show off his strength, Azati opened his shirt to reveal his strong chest in the cold June weather in the Western Tianshan Mountains. Gulinar covered her mouth and laughed, "I don't like men with hairy chests."

Azati's expression changed, he buttoned up his clothes, and then said, "Sooner or later you will dislike city people."

When Ye Minglang learned that Gulinar had returned to his home, he did not react much, because he felt that in the current situation, it was better for Gulinar to hide for a while. There was no need to confront Ye's mother. If the two of them continued to get along like this, the loss would be too great, and it might even affect the relationship between him and her.

So when he called Gulinar, he said, "It's June, the flood season, and the snow has melted. It's too dangerous for you to go back alone. Next time you want to go back or come here, tell me and I'll take you there."

Gulinar's heart warmed and she said, "I understand."

Ye Minglang added, "Don't worry about my mother's affairs. I will take care of everything. We will definitely get married."

"Well, I believe you."

In fact, Gulinar had already sensed Ye Minglang's attitude. He was determined to protect their love, so she didn't mind who won or lost between her and Ye's mother. She just didn't want to make Ye Minglang embarrassed. At the same time, she was also looking for an opportunity to resolve the disharmony between her and Ye's mother, but there was no good method or opportunity at the moment.

If you insist on resolving the situation at this time, it will only make things worse.

Ling Fengxi was quite satisfied with the two young people's current handling of the matter. However, as soon as Gulinar left, even the starry sky in the camp seemed to have dimmed a lot.

Even Ye's mother thought it was too quiet and complained to Ye's father, "This little Guli is so noisy. Look how quiet the camp is when she's gone. This is a place where we can have a good rest. When she's here, no one can rest."

Father Ye snorted unhappily...

Ye Minglang would visit the two old people every morning and evening, and eat with them. Occasionally, when he was free, he would take them for a walk on the surrounding hillsides. As the saying goes, the higher you stand, the farther you can see. The two old people's vision has expanded and their minds have become broader. They couldn't help but sigh that Xinjiang is really a good place, and the magnificent mountains are really charming.

Ye Minglang seemed to see Gulinar in the distance through the mountains. He occasionally mentioned the scene of Gulinar riding a horse and herding sheep in the wind and snow, and the admiration and love in his tone could not be concealed at all.

After hearing this, Ye's father just resigned himself to his fate and said, "Actually, Xiao Guli is not bad. As long as you like her, it's fine."

But Ye's father still said firmly, "No, marrying her will ruin Minglang's life. How much trouble will it take for Minglang to support a woman who only knows how to herd sheep? All the happiness will be gone."

The father and son knew that neither of them could change Ye's mother's statement, so they looked at each other and fell silent.
