Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

Chapter 1468 My Altay 15

Everyone gathered in Chaoge's tent to talk. Li Wenxiu's grandmother had a good appetite, and the old sisters were envious. She was not very clear-headed, but she ate with relish, and everyone liked her.

Zhang Fengxia came in late, so she and Li Wenxiu found a seat at the edge of the table. Thinking of the look Chaoge had given Token just now, she lowered her voice and gossiped with Li Wenxiu: "The last time we went to the county town, a man called Token, and I recognized it. It was Chaoge."

Li Wenxiu tried her best not to look at Chaoge too much, for fear of revealing Token's secret.

Chao Ge poured everyone another bowl of milk tea and casually talked about his brother and sister-in-law: "My eldest brother is a singer, working in the capital, and married a person from the capital. But the last time he came back, they quarreled over laundry."

Ba Tai held the milk tea bowl and looked at Xu Qin intently while listening to gossip. Chao Ge sat down next to Ba Tai and continued, "My eldest brother said that my sister-in-law was not doing the right thing when washing clothes. She couldn't wash clothes and pants together."

Zhang Fengxia laughed and said, "We wash clothes like this. We wash tops with tops, pants with pants, and we also wash them by color. We wash whites with whites, and blacks with blacks. It's always like this."

Chaoge's father then took the opportunity to talk about something else: "Now more and more Mongolians are marrying the Kouli people, and we are the only ones left here..."

Sulitan glanced at Batai and said, "My Batai is still thinking about going back to the city to work. He doesn't even want the ranch at home."

Chaoge's father couldn't help but say to Sulitan, "You can't train a thousand-mile horse at home, and you can't grow a thousand-year-old pine in a potted plant. It's a good thing for the children to go out and take a walk, don't you think?"

Sulitan admitted this, "That's true."

Chaoge's father looked at Chaoge and started a new conversation: "Now more and more Kazakhs are marrying us..."

Sulitan thought about it and found that he had never heard of it, so he said bluntly: "I haven't heard of it..."

Chaoge's father looked at Chaoge's grandmother, Bugasenden, and Bugasenden said, "We know that Murati's anniversary has passed. It's about time we get together to discuss Token and Chaoge's affairs—"

Sulitan reacted slightly. Chaoge, the clever boy, had already gone out to intercept Token who wanted to come in. Sulitan looked around and saw Batai, who was smiling at Xu Qin from time to time. He glared at him.

Ba Tai shuddered and looked upwards, unable to believe what he heard: "Chao Ge and sister-in-law?"

Xu Qin pretended that she didn't understand and lowered her head to hold back her laughter, while Zhang Fengxia only hated herself for not having learned more Kazakh or Mongolian. It was obvious that they were talking about something very important, but she just couldn't understand!

Li Wenxiu could roughly guess that everyone was talking about Chaoge and Token, but it was not easy to explain to her mother Zhang Fengxia at this time. She just pretended that she knew nothing and put on an inquiring expression.

Chaoge brought a piece of naan and coaxed Yerdana and Nadira to eat and play, while he sat next to Token, looking at the snow-capped mountains in the distance, and took out a box of hand cream from his pocket and stuffed it into Token's hand. Token didn't know what was in the small bottle. Xu Qin had given Li Wenxiu antifreeze cream and hand cream before, but she didn't dare to take them, so she just took a look.

After comparing them, the small bottle Chao Ge gave her was much smaller than the one Xu Qin gave Li Wenxiu, but she was very surprised to receive the gift and asked with a smile: "What is this?"

Chao Ge opened the bottle cap for her, picked up a little of the fragrant paste and applied it on the back of her hand. "This is hand cream. You work hard, and you need this protection."

Token imitated Li Wenxiu and carefully rubbed the cream on the palms, backs of hands and fingers. He couldn't help but sighed, "Xu Qin gave Li Wenxiu two boxes before, but I didn't have the nerve to accept them..."

Chao Ge's eyes were full of distress. He watched Token carefully put away the small piece of hand cream and said, "My grandma is talking to your dad about us—"

Token was even more surprised and couldn't help but confirm with Chaoge: "Xu Qin is in there, right? You don't even know, my dad said before that he wanted Mrs. Ba to marry me——"

Although Chao Ge didn't understand what these things had to do with Xu Qin, he answered honestly: "Xu Qin is inside, sitting next to Grandma Li Wenxiu."

But the next moment he couldn't help asking: "Who did Uncle Sulitan want you to marry?"

Token couldn't help laughing. "That's Bata."

Chao Ge still found it hard to believe: "My friend Batai, Bahtibek?"

Token's smile widened. "That's him."

Chao Ge looked into the tent and couldn't help but complain: "This brat!"

When he turned around and looked at Token, he asked again, "What does that have to do with Xu Qin?"

"Although she is Uncle Xu Jianguo's granddaughter, she is a Han Chinese after all."

In the tent, Ba Tai could see Xu Qin's raised mouth corners, and could also see Li Wenxiu pretending to be serious to cover up. He was confused and turned around and asked, "You all know?"

Zhang Fengxia blurted out: "We didn't know Chaoge called your sister-in-law—"

Li Wenxiu didn't need to do anything. Zhang Fengxia covered her mouth and looked at Ba Tai with an apologetic look on her face.

Ba Tai rubbed his face, really caught off guard: "...I am the only one who is troubled every day..."

Now even Grandma Li, who was enjoying her naan bread, turned around and nodded to Ba Tai. Ba Tai felt even more ashamed to face people and wished he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

Chaoge's grandmother and father have officially discussed Token's marriage with Chaoge. Sulitan does not object to Token's remarriage, and he is also optimistic about Chaoge, a young man. "Mulati's anniversary has passed, and the living should live well. I don't object to this marriage, as long as Token's parents agree."

“But the children must stay.”

Chaoge's grandmother paused and didn't rush to continue talking about the children. Instead, she asked Sulitan to eat meat.

Zhang Fengxia and Li Wenxiu waited anxiously for Ba Tai's translation. Ba Tai said only three sentences: "Chao Ge's grandmother talked about Token and Chao Ge's marriage, my father said the child should stay, and Chao Ge's grandmother said to eat meat."

Chaoge had obviously prepared his family mentally, and everyone in Chaoge's family was also fully prepared for Token to remarry with the child.

So Bugasenden said directly: "If Token remarries, there will only be two men left in your family, you and Bata. The two children are still young, and this is not a good environment for them."

"If you can agree to leave the two children in our home to be taken care of, there are more women in our family, and it will be very good for the children. When the children grow up, you can take them back if you want, it will be the same."

Sulitan refused directly: "No, once you raise the child, he will become estranged from us."

Bugasenden smiled and said, "It is natural for a child to follow his mother, isn't that right?"

Sulitan still refused: "No, this is not our tradition. If Token wants to remarry, I have no objection, but the child belongs to our family and must stay in our home."

"I respect you. If you keep talking, I'll leave!"
