Rebirth on the top of the mountain, my herding career

Several people came outside, and Qin Xifeng saw a group of yaks walking quickly not far away. The yaks' backs were filled with various things, and they began to unload the goods as they approached.

Wu Simai hired the yaks in the village, and he brought the things from the county.

The ground was filled with flour, clear oil, sugar, black tea, soap, washing powder and other daily necessities. It looked like a lot.

"Wu Simai, what are you doing?"

Atik and Wu Simai were not very familiar with each other and felt that the other party was making a fuss out of a molehill.

"Atik, there will be things that you and my son need to help with in the future. These things are everyone's wishes. Oh, you want the joint company's things, but you don't want ours?"

Wu Simai was a little unhappy, but he knew that Atik had a good relationship with the company. If Liang Gang were here, Atik would never refuse.

Qin Xifeng quietly pulled Yatik's sleeve, and then said: "Team leader Wu Simai, thank everyone for my father and I! We will accept the things."

"That's right, the west wind is interesting enough! Well, I'll go to another village for a while. See you the day after tomorrow."

Only then did Wu Simai smile. He stopped talking and left with the yak team.

"Abba, do you have any objections to Team Leader Wu Simai?"

After Wu Simai and others walked away, Qin Xifeng asked Atik.

"I can't say I have any objections. I just don't like him as a person."

Atik shook his head. He always felt that Wu Simai was unrealistic and not a close friend like Liang Gang.

Qin Xifeng understood immediately upon hearing this. Abba is a relatively upright person, and he definitely doesn't like smooth people like Wu Simai.

"Abba, these are the wishes of the whole task force. If you refuse to accept them, it will not look good on everyone."

Qin Xifeng didn't say much. This kind of thing varies from person to person. His consistent principle is not to hit the smiling person, so don't take it too seriously.

The next day.

Atik and Qin Xifeng left for the county after breakfast. They had a meeting the next morning, and they would not be able to make it if they didn't leave in advance.

That night they spent the night together at Qin Xifeng's sister's house, and after the commendation meeting the next day, they returned home.

I didn't stay much in the countryside.

The whole task force received third-class collective merit, and a few people including Feng Yao and Wu Simai also received second-class individual merit.

Because the company's system is different, it is not included here.

Qin Xifeng and Atik received commendations and some bonuses, but they were mainly personal honors. Both father and son care about honors, and if they care about them, it is very meaningful.

In addition, when the county learned that Qin Xifeng planned to lead herdsmen to plant alfalfa, it sponsored a new water pump for Murakami and allocated a batch of oil for free.

It will take a few days for these things to be delivered, and Qin Xifeng has the final say in allocating usage rights.

Qin Xifeng didn't want to care about these trivial matters. After the water pump and oil arrived, he let Atik take care of it himself.

Recently, the yaks at home have become restless again, and the yak breeding season has arrived.

Next, it’s the same old routine, first check the livestock, then clean and disinfect them, and some may even need antibiotics.

Sometimes, Qin Xifeng also wonders why he, a young man, is so interested in breeding livestock?

But in pastoral areas, the reproduction of livestock is really a top priority, and we don’t dare to be careless at all.

"Xifeng, the males of our lambs this year have gone away, leaving at most three or two to be raised as future breeding sheep..."

This morning, Atik said that he would not go to graze today, but would perform a minor operation on the lambs.

That is to castrate the ram.

It is generally better to castrate lambs when they are three to three months old. Castrating rams can not only facilitate the management of the flock, but also speed up the fattening of the rams themselves, and improve the meat quality and taste of the rams.

Delicious.

Uncastrated rams tend to have a strong odor and generally cannot be sold at a good price.

"Okay, Dad, I just want to learn from you."

Qin Xifeng has knowledge in this area, but has never practiced it.

He did not take the initiative to take the job, but planned to let Atik give a demonstration first. This job requires quick eyesight, good disinfection and postoperative care, and the prognosis is generally good.

He had never seen it before. Whenever Atik wanted to castrate the lamb, he would stay far away and was a little resistant mentally.

But now I have adapted to it.

"Abba, let me do it."

Qin Xifeng studied on the side and felt that he should have no problem getting started, so he took the initiative to take over.

Atik believed that his son could do a good job, so he gave up his position and stood aside to check.

Qin Xifeng was still unfamiliar at first, but he quickly mastered the key points and his movements became more and more skillful, making Atik nod secretly.

This younger son is indeed suitable to take over his class.

This work was successfully completed in the morning. The post-operative care was left to grandma. Taking care of the lambs was her strength, so there would be no problem.

"Xifeng, do you think it is necessary for us to change the scene this year?"

During lunch, Atik suddenly asked about the summer transition.

In the past, it was him who decided on such matters, but now he wanted to listen to Qin Xifeng's opinion. The roles of father and son had quietly changed without even realizing it.

"It's better to go. This is what I think about it. Abba, you stay at home this year while I drive the livestock to the Kulun meadow at the foot of Tag Mountain..."

Every year when summer comes, Atik will drive his livestock to the top of the majestic snow-capped mountains.

Tagshan Mountain is majestic and handsome. Its main peak is over 7,000 meters above sea level, and the snow above the snow line remains frozen all year round.

In summer, streams gather at the foot of the mountains, forming beautiful lakes, meadows, and wetlands.

This is the best summer pasture in the Palpaha Plateau, and it is the best gift from nature to the herdsmen. Qin Xifeng has no reason not to go.

People in the village actually live a semi-nomadic life. The most prominent part of the word nomadic is the word "travel". How can they stay near the village all year round?

"Can you do it alone?"

Atik was a little worried. It was not very far from Tagh Peak, about 40 kilometers away. However, the roads on the plateau were rugged, and if something happened, he might not be able to make it back in a day or two.

"Okay...why not? Abba, don't worry."

Qin Xifeng immediately patted his chest. How could a real man say no?

"Okay then, let's start preparations from now on, and you will set off next month."

Atik agreed that Qin Xifeng would take most of the livestock around by himself. As a human being, there has to be a first time for everything. After a few exercises, wouldn’t it make him familiar with the driving?

However, the transition is not that fast. The preparation work alone takes almost a month.

Next, he had to worry about the breeding of yaks. The yaks at home had obviously entered the estrus period, and the two Bazhou fine-bred yaks also started working hard day and night.

Qin Xifeng and Atik both stepped up patrols at night. Yaks are wild at this stage and need constant attention.

On this day, Qin Xifeng slept until midnight when he was woken up by a burst of dog barking.

He put on his clothes and went out to see. Heizi was barking in the direction of the corral, and the falcon had also left the scaffold and was circling in the air.

Qin Xifeng rushed to the corral and saw his two male yaks fighting at the first sight. The scene was very heated.
