"What?!"

A scream broke the silence, startling the children playing in the yard.

"Don't be too excited. I haven't decided yet." Feng Lingyu's starry eyes slightly raised, and she helplessly looked at Gao Xiaotao who had a shocked face.

Gao Xiaotao walked around the room for a few steps. "If you leave now, it will take a long time for you to come back. What if you can't come back in time for the New Year?"

As for why Feng Lingyu traveled all the way to Inner Mongolia, Gao Xiaotao didn't ask.

It’s nothing more than Xiaoyu having something important to do.

"Yes, Sister Xiaoyu, after you leave, only Sister Xiaotao and I will be left at home." Shen Huaiqing was also a little reluctant.

He is also looking forward to celebrating the New Year together in a lively manner this year.

To be honest, this trip to Hulunbuir Grassland requires crossing mountains and ridges and crossing the Greater Khingan Range. Feng Lingyu himself has no idea how long it will take.

First of all, she was unfamiliar with the route, and there was also the impact of extreme weather, which would extend her time on the road.

Furthermore, it would take some time to find the Yuanbao Lake from the previous life, and Feng Lingyu couldn't guarantee that he would be able to come back before the New Year.

"Well, if I can't make it back in time, I'll find a way to notify you."

"It may take a long time to get there. The mountains are blocked by heavy snow now, and no one in the village is visiting. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

Feng Lingyu said firmly.

Seeing her like this, Gao Xiaotao knew that she had made up her mind, so she had no choice but to say, "Since you have made up your mind, I will not persuade you."

“If my dad can come over during the Chinese New Year, and with Grandpa Shen, then Huaiqing and I won’t be alone, hehe.”

Feng Lingyu's eyes lit up. Yes, there is also Uncle Gao. He can come over during the New Year.

"That's great, but you don't have to be too pessimistic. Who knows what will happen? What if I come back before the New Year?"

After discussing this, Feng Lingyu took out the durian mille-feuille cake that she had made last night.

"I made a new thing myself, you guys can try it."

As soon as it was taken out, the iconic smell of durian emanated, and the whole house was filled with that rich smell.

Jinzi ran to the yard in disgust. He really didn't know what was so good about this stinky thing. Not only did he eat it yesterday, but he also wanted to eat it again today!

"What is this? It smells weird." Gao Xiaotao asked curiously.

At that time, everyone ate Chinese pastries, such as mung bean cakes, moon cakes, peach cakes, etc. Western pastries had not yet been introduced.

"This looks like a cream cake!" Shen Huaiqing observed for a while, "but it's different from what I've seen before."

When he was a child, on his birthday, Shen Xiuyi asked his friends to make him a birthday cake.

"This is called Durian Thousand Layer Cake. It's made from a fruit with a unique smell. I'm not sure if you can eat it." Feng Lingyu explained.

Shen Huaiqing shrugged his nose, and soon his face wrinkled. He looked at Feng Lingyu with some difficulty. He thought the smell was so stinky...

"Try it, it's like stinky tofu, it smells bad but tastes good."

Feng Lingyu said as he gave Gao Xiaotao and Shen Huaiqing a small plate each.

Under Feng Lingyu's expectant eyes, the two of them still gave it a small try.

"Although it's a bit weird, it seems to taste okay..." Gao Xiaotao smacked her lips, savoring the taste.

"Huaiqing, what about you?" Feng Lingyu looked at Shen Huaiqing who was frowning.

"I don't know how to put it. I don't think it tastes good, but it's not terrible either." After a while, Shen Huaiqing answered in a tangled manner.

Feng Lingyu smiled and said, "Then you must not like durian. You don't even like it with cream in it. If you eat it as it is, you will be disgusted to death, haha."

"It turns out that the fruit inside is called durian. I have never heard of this fruit. I really hope to try all the fruits in this world in the future!"

Speaking of food, Gao Xiaotao became excited.

"This is a tropical fruit. Our country is vast and rich in resources, especially in the south, where there are many kinds of fruits. So, you will definitely have a chance in the future."

Just then, Tuanzi and Jinzi came back from the yard.

The two little creatures were covered in snow. As soon as they entered the house, the snow melted into water and wet all their fur.

But they were smart and knew that there was always a charcoal fire burning in the kitchen, so they turned a corner and went straight into the kitchen to roast Maomao.

"Huh, that's strange. Why didn't they fight all night?" Gao Xiaotao asked curiously as she watched them walking side by side.

You know, just last night, the two of them were fighting to the death.

"For a bite of food! I didn't give them snacks last night, so they behaved well today." At this point, Feng Lingyu suddenly thought of Cao Zi, who had changed a lot. "No matter if it's a human or an animal, if they don't obey, they must be punished."

"When I'm not around, remember to pay attention to the educated youth center, especially Cao Zi. Pay special attention to her."

Feng Lingyu lazily changed his posture and spoke leisurely.

"Why? Hasn't she changed?"

Cao Zi has been very well behaved recently. Gao Xiaotao once ran into her collecting firewood outside.

And from what people at the educated youth center say, she has now learned to cook for herself.

Feng Lingyu shook her head. "Whether she changes for the better or not is of no concern to me. I asked you to watch her to ensure her safety. If anything happens to her when I'm not around, Uncle Yang, the village chief, will be in trouble."

You can punish Cao Zi however you want, but one thing is that you must ensure her safety.

After all, Secretary Cao threw Cao Zi here, but that didn't mean he would completely ignore her.

"I understand. I will always pay attention to it." Gao Xiaotao kept this in mind.

Seeing her serious look, Feng Lingyu thought for a moment and added: "It's just her life safety. Unless her life is in danger, you don't have to worry about her."

"I see."

"Xiaoyu, when are you going to leave?"

Feng Lingyu was speechless and choked: "I haven't made a plan yet. I have to settle everything here."

Shi Wenhao's leg is still undergoing treatment, and it is really not fair for her to leave him there halfway.

There are also household supplies that she must buy before she leaves. It would be a tragedy if she leaves and there aren't enough things at home.

I have to go see Grandpa Shen too, and I have to say hello before I leave.

Thinking about it this way, these things will be delayed for another two days.

"So what should you bring with you on the trip?" Gao Xiaotao was a little troubled.

We didn’t know how many days we would be on the road, and we were in the wilderness all the time. It was hard to bring food alone, let alone other things.
