Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

Chapter 1470 My Altay 17

Even with the addition of Chaoge's family, the speed of the large group did not slow down. In fact, with the extra helpers, Sulitan felt a lot more relaxed along the way. At this time, he had to start facing the problem of his own small population.

The summer pasture was soon reached. The location of Sulitan’s pasture was just slightly different from that of the settlement. The neighbors were still the same, but they did not live together and there was some distance between them.

Although Grandpa Xu did not explicitly entrust Xu Qin to Sulitan, Sulitan had already tacitly acknowledged that he should take good care of Xu Qin and even wished that Xu Qin could live directly in his tent.

Xu Qin would not live directly in Sulitan's house, but Sulitan told her to do so and she felt embarrassed to live too far away, so she could only choose the other side of the leeward slope. The tents of the two houses were only about ten meters apart, so they could reach each other easily.

Without Sulitan's orders, Ba Tai went to help Xu Qin set up the tent. After Xu Qin finished setting up her own tent, she went to help Token. The tent was set up, but there were still many things that needed to be put in place. Token had to keep an eye on the two children and keep moving things. Looking at Token and Xu Qin like this, Sulitan began to miss the time when he had so many women from the Chaoge family helping him with things.

After lunch, Token took a basin and went to wash the clothes that the whole family had taken off in the past few days. Xu Qin also wanted to wash some, so the two of them walked towards Zhang Fengxia, wanting to ask Li Wenxiu to go with them.

Bata can take care of his two nephews while herding horses, so Token feels more or less relieved about Bata taking care of the children.

However, Token looked at the washboard Xu Qin brought out with envy on his face: "I've wanted to buy a washboard for a long time, but Mulati's anniversary has passed and I haven't got one yet..."

Xu Qin finally realized how suffocated Token was in his marriage with Murati. She raised the washboard in her hand and said to Token with a smile, "I'll give this to you. I don't have many clothes, and there aren't many stains. I just need to wash out the dust and sand."

Looking at the wooden washboard in his basin, Token couldn't help crying with joy: "I've really wanted a washboard for a long time..."

Token didn't know why she was like this. She was obviously very happy, but she felt very aggrieved in her heart.

Xu Qin knew why she was like this, but Token was about to start a new life, and she didn't want to cause him any more unnecessary trouble. Instead, she encouraged her, "Remember how you want to feel like a washboard. If your relationship with Chao Ge changes in the future, remember your courage today."

Token tilted his head back and nodded heavily. Even with tears still on his face, he smiled widely. "I will definitely remember this!"

"Besides, Chaoge is different from Murati. Women must be careful when choosing men!"

Token's new life is pretty good, and Xu Qin is happy to give her some confidence: "You chose a new man who is already very good."

"We Han people have a saying that you can't just choose a man who is good to you. You have to choose a man who is already good. That way, even if the relationship changes in the future, he won't be willing to hurt you."

Token was really happy to see Xu Qin affirmed Chao Ge. Even though he was holding a large basin of clothes, he couldn't help but jump for a while.

Xu Qin quickly reached out and took some of the clothes in her basin to her side. Token didn't hesitate and even took the washboard. She would definitely return the favor anyway.

After climbing over a small hill, they arrived at Zhang Fengxia's store. Zhang Fengxia was thinking about nourishing her body with goat milk, so she went out to buy some goats. Li Wenxiu couldn't go out, because if she lost her grandmother in this place, she might not be able to find her again.

Token noticed that Zhang Fengxia's tent was not properly set up, so he suggested, "Why don't I help you check the tent? If it's not set up properly, you'll suffer when it's windy and rainy."

Li Wenxiu was a little tempted, but she was also worried that it would delay Token and Xu Qin's laundry. Xu Qin rolled up her sleeves, picked up a small wooden stick and started to check: "The climate in the Altai Mountains is changeable. Strong winds and heavy rains are common, and there may even be hail. In addition, Cen Shen's poem also wrote 'the snow falls in the eighth month of the year in the Hu sky'."

"So, if your tent is not set up properly at the beginning, and you encounter bad weather later, it will be a big hindrance to your trip."

Li Wenxiu understood this principle, so she did not stop Xu Qin and Token from helping. She watched for a while, and seeing that Xu Qin and Token cooperated well, she hurried to boil water to make tea for them.

Even though it was just a small favor, she couldn't just sit there and say nothing. She could at least make some tea.

After Xu Qin fixed the roof, she was too lazy to use a ladder and jumped down directly from the roof. Token was so scared that she reached out to catch her, and saw Xu Qin standing there easily. She immediately thought of those high-flying heroes in TV dramas, and she looked at Xu Qin with a little admiration.

Li Wenxiu handed over the tea with a fearful look on her face, and she did not forget to scold him: "You better be careful. There is a shortage of doctors and medicines in the Xia Ranch. If you hurt your legs or feet, Grandpa Xu can take you back tomorrow."

Xu Qin took the tea and smiled nonchalantly, and arrogantly gave an example, "I have practiced before, like Ba Tai, I can beat ten of them."

Li Wenxiu didn't believe this. "Although Ba Tai is a horse rider and not a martial artist, you can't say he is just a show-off."

"He may not be able to fight, but his strength and reaction must be good."

Token didn't quite understand yet, but now that the work was done and they'd exchanged a few pleasantries, it was time to do some laundry.

Li Wenxiu looked at Token's large basin of heavy clothes and suggested, "How about I calculate the time and ask Ba Tai to ride a horse to help you carry the wet clothes? Thick winter clothes will be very heavy when they are soaked with water. You may not be able to carry them back."

Before Token could say anything, Xu Qin agreed. "That's a good idea. Remember to tell Mrs. Ba!"

After walking for a while, Token finally realized what Li Wenxiu and Xu Qin had agreed on. She hesitated and said, "Would it be a bad idea to ask Mrs. Ba to pick us up?"

Xu Qin didn't think there was anything wrong with this, but she wouldn't directly say that she was teaching Token to control Chao Ge. Instead, she said from another angle, "As for your family, after you leave, only Uncle Sulitan and Mrs. Ba will be left. Now it seems that Mrs. Ba has a job at the horse farm and can only come back to help in the summer. Uncle Sulitan knows how to do housework, but Mrs. Ba doesn't."

"And you don't want Batai to become a man like Murati who doesn't do any housework in the future, right?"

"You know, it will be increasingly difficult for a man like Murati to find a wife in the future. Good girls like to find good men."

Xu Qin easily convinced Token. She wanted to go back and train Ba Tai immediately, and it would be best if she could take charge of all the housework. After all, she would have her wedding with Chao Ge after this summer, and by then Ba Tai would have no sister-in-law to wash his clothes and cook for him.
