There were old and young people coming in at the courtyard door, and everyone was smiling.

"Reheman? You are Reheman! Hello, hello."

While Uncle Chen was calling this uncle's name, he was so excited that he didn't know what to say. Just like that, we were surrounded by people and came to the courtyard next to him.

The Reheman family is obviously larger than the old Liu family. It has a row of semi-I-shaped brick houses and a large yard. The yard is full of trees, including walnut trees, apple trees, pear trees and black plum trees. A tall

The high shelves are covered with grapes.

We were allowed to sit on the carpeted Kang in the yard, and soon the tablecloths were covered with honey, black tea, dried fruits, and fresh fruits. Reheman's eldest son was busy slaughtering sheep and chickens in the backyard.

"Aihao, I haven't seen you for so many years. I thought you had forgotten us all. I have always wanted to find you, but I don't know where to look. A few years ago, I went to Shanghai to sell jade and I also looked for you, but you

Shanghai is too big and there are too many people, so there is no way to find it."

Reheman said with emotion while taking care of everyone to drink tea.

From their chat, I roughly understood that this was the home of the child that Uncle Chen had rescued from the flood dam. That child was Reheman's eldest son. He now worked in the county. He had received a call and drove to

Rushed back.

"You don't know, our family would have no children without you. Life was very difficult at that time. We only had one child at that time. If that child was gone, we would probably be doomed. Now, our family has five children.

Life was good."

Reheman has been introducing the situation of their family to Old Uncle Chen. While introducing, he called all the children at home to say hello.

"My youngest daughter is not married yet and is living with us. Just now, I asked her to call everyone else over. You are a great benefactor to our family. We must have the whole family come and thank you in person." Reheman said.

After that, he sent these children to help prepare meals.

After chatting about the past for a while, Reheman said that they later had several children, but they were still poor. One time, they wanted to go to Shanghai to find news about Lao Chen. They couldn't go empty-handed, so they went to Hotan to get some jade and brought it to Shanghai.

Go and sell.

"Old Chen, you are our benefactor. Without you, I would never have thought of going to Shanghai to sell jade. I went to Hotan and asked someone to get some jade. I had no money to give, so I told you that I was going to Shanghai to find you.

At that time, the big brother waved his hand and said he would give me the money when he got back from Shanghai. He could just return the unsold jade to him. In this way, I made my first pot of gold, so you are our benefactor.

.”

"Then I thought, I must keep going to Shanghai and keep looking for you, and the money in my hand will become more and more. Speaking of which, it is also our fate. I just did not go to Shanghai this year.

As I get older, there are very few genuine Hetian jades now, so I thought I would go again next year, but I didn’t expect it to be right. I didn’t look for you, but you did.”

Reheman went into the house and took out two pieces of jade, uncarved rough stones, and gave them to Lao Chen and his wife.

"These two pieces of jade, I planned to give them to you from the very beginning. They have been in my hands for more than ten years. Today I can finally give them away. You should keep them and don't sell them. Now these two stones are in the market.

It can be sold for more than 200,000 yuan."

When Uncle Chen and his wife heard that it was so valuable, they kept trying to avoid asking for such an expensive gift.

"Take it, I will be angry if you don't accept it. You don't treat me as a family member and don't unite with me. These two stones are gifts I specially selected for you. They were very cheap at the time. We don't like to collect jade.

I can’t carve either, but I know you will definitely like it.”

Only then did Uncle Chen and his wife accept two stones. They were about the size of duck eggs. They were very transparent and had skin on them. At first glance, they were seed material.

"The carving here is not good, but the jade carving in Yangzhou over there is good. If you want to carve it later, just tell me and I will introduce someone to carve it for you for free. They like such good materials the most."

Uncle Reheman couldn't stop talking about jade. From what I heard, he had made at least several million from jade. His children built houses, ate, clothed, and bought cars all because of him.

Jade business over the years.

I visited his house with great interest. It turned out to be a wealthy family. The interior decoration of the house was the most luxurious I had ever seen in the countryside, and the yard was also the cleanest and tidiest.

The kitchen is already cooking hand-picked meat. A big pot is full of hand-picked rice. The aroma of rice is filling the yard. In the corner of the yard, there are a few bricks propped up, and the charcoal that has been burned in the stove has been filled with shovels.

In the middle of the bricks, large skewers of mutton skewered with red willow branches emitted green smoke.

Several cold dishes bought from the bazaar were already placed on the tablecloth, including cold skin, cold noodles, noodles, lungs, cold mutton head meat and beef offal. Two large iron plates were served with cold shredded radish and cold green peppers.

When the barbecue came, there was another commotion. This was the first time I saw such a lively scene. I kept taking pictures. One was to leave a souvenir for Yaoyao’s parents, and the other was to take some pictures of the food and the courtyard.

I plan to use the photos to promote B&Bs, pubs and restaurants. Such original photos are rare.

After eating the mutton skewers, Reheman's eldest son Rehemati also came back. He was also very enthusiastic and emotional and kept talking to Uncle Chen.

The pilaf and hand-picked meat started to arrive. After being divided according to seniority, I finished my plate of pilaf easily. According to custom, it should be served on a large plate, and several people should hold it with their hands.

Eat, and divide the meat and bones evenly among the guests.

Considering that none of us knew how to grab it with our hands, Reheman specially put it on a plate for each of us and gave us chopsticks and spoons. Because of this, Yaoyao's parents were given too much rice, and they were too embarrassed to put it away.

After putting it back on the big plate, I had to let them put the rice on my plate.

In Xinjiang, it is not allowed to waste food, so I was already a little tired when I finished eating every grain of rice. It was also late to cook, so I finished the meal in the middle of the afternoon. Seeing that it was not early, I planned to

Take the elderly to a hotel in the group or to stay in the county.

But Rehemati refused to let him go no matter what.

"Do you know why I am called Rehemati? In our Uyghur language, Rehemati means thank you. I was not called this name when I was a child. Later, after I was rescued by Uncle Chen, my father changed my name. I

My father asked me to remember that it was Uncle Chen who saved me. He even moved to the side of Uncle Liu’s house and said that he wanted to be neighbors with the Han people. We will never forget this. You will go back to live in the county tomorrow, and I will live in the county again.

I’ll entertain you well. You’ll stay at my house today and don’t leave.”

Reheman's eldest son Rehemati also has a house with a front and backyard in the village. Because he went to work in the county, the house has been vacant. He insisted that we all stay at his house at night.

Uncle Chen was so kind that he couldn't refuse, and he might still be nostalgic for the past, so he agreed without any further excuses. After resting for about an hour, we visited the village under the leadership of Reheman. They kept comparing it with the past. There used to be a place here.

What, what, when, etc., etc., kept talking about the past and present.

The characteristics of this village are similar to those of many Maigaiti villages. The exterior walls of the houses are no longer the mainstream germanium red or yellow in other places, but are painted in various brighter colors. It feels very innovative, and many of the walls
