Eat in a coat

Our brothers and sisters gathered at my mother's place for the New Year's Festival, and every time we talked about an interesting event from many years ago, we always laughed and had fun...

It was the late 1980s, and I was attending university in Beijing. One year, when we were on the same train with my uncle Temur when we went to school after the Spring Festival, he was passing through Beijing to Chifeng for further study, and it happened that a fellow villager asked us to bring a sheep to our relatives to teach at the university to the home of an Alxa professor. At that time, from Yinchuan in Ningxia or Hohhot in Inner Mongolia to Chifeng, Tongliao, Ulanhot, Hailar and other places in eastern Inner Mongolia had to transit through Beijing.

The weather in Beijing after the spring began to warmer. On that day, after the train arrived at Xizhimen Station in Beijing, we got off the train and carried the sheep in the plastic bag to the bus to find a small guest house near Weigong Village in Haidian District. Brother Temur wore a tweed coat, the only white shirt in it, which was also a fashionable costume of that era. The train was crowded all the way and a sheep was sweating on and off the train, and the shirt was washed in the guest house, and then we were going to take the sheep to the nearby professor's house, and we were going to send it to the door and come back, so Temur put on a tweed coat and fastened it.

The two men carried dozens of pounds of sheep and walked for a while to the family area of the university faculty and staff, the professor's family lived on more than a dozen floors of the high-rise building, and the first time they took the high-rise elevator, they were not affected by the door. Unexpectedly, the professor's family was very enthusiastic, let us enter the house to serve tea and pour water, and made sure to let us have lunch. It was difficult to be gracious but had to do so, but it was very difficult for Brother Temur, the professor handed over piping hot milk tea, and the pot was still stewed with steaming lamb, and from time to time persuaded Brother Temur to take off his tweed coat and hang it on the hanger... How can the special brother not ah, the naked coat worn by the tweed but also embarrassed to say, can only push off a strong push to say no need to use ...

At the end of February, in the first month, the professor hosted us to toast from time to time, and after drinking a few glasses of wine, Brother Temur was naturally full of spring light, the complexion was rosy, but he could not take off his clothes, and the heat was unbearable... I almost unbuttoned it a few times when I was slightly drunk...

Just like this, wearing a tweed coat, sweating and eating meat and a large bowl of noodles in the broth, I always insisted on quietly clasping the button to the end...

The sixth day of the first lunar month of the first lunar month of the year of Nongyin
