Chapter 517 Travel
All in all, they filled a large bag, which was a little more than Feng Lixuan had expected.
"Aunt, you're not going to take out your share, are you? Don't empty your family's savings. This is a business, not a forced collection."
"No." Zhao Yeqing leaned against the door with a depressed look. She had been following the two old people every day recently and had to take a nap at noon. Today, she chatted with Feng Lixuan while the old lady was sleeping, and now she felt sleepy in the afternoon.
"There used to be grass pens on the meadow, where the original herders grew grass. I would also leave some seeds on the meadow every year. Last year I left more, so they are all here. I have already left my share, so don't worry."
Feng Lixuan now felt at ease to put the seeds away and placed them next to his luggage in case he forgot to take them away.
In this regard, Feng Lixuan has followed the Feng family's family tradition very well, which is to endure the hardships before enjoying the sweetness, not to procrastinate when encountering things, and to do the important work first before having fun.
After resolving the seed issue, Feng Lixuan still had one week left before his reported vacation, plus three days of business trip time he had applied for to get forage seeds. He had to arrange these ten days fully so that his trip would not be in vain.
Zhao Yeqing smiled and told him about the interesting places around.
There is a large lake not far away, and you can drive to an abandoned tourist area. There is a forest next to the tourist area. She and Mu Xi have already cleared a path, and they can go in by riding an electric scooter.
At this point, Zhao Yeqing remembered that he had never told them where his electricity came from, so he said mysteriously, "The electricity at home comes from the gasoline over there."
Feng Lixuan had been curious before, but Zhao Yeqing's story was so exciting that he forgot to ask. When Zhao Yeqing brought it up, Feng Lixuan was surprised: "Could it be that there is an oil field here? You two opened up an oil field!"
Zhao Yeqing was speechless: "We two are opening an oil field? How? Who uses a pickaxe to open an oil field? That's a gas station!"
There is no oil field that is not opened by drilling rigs deep into the ground. Even to dig a well, one has to dig that deep. How can an oil field be opened just like that?
Sometimes she admired her eldest nephew very much, but sometimes he spoke without thinking, no wonder he was beaten by the old lady with her cane.
Just as he was thinking about it, the old lady hit him on the butt with her cane.
"You and your father were really comparable when they were young. You look nothing like me, except that you inherited your grandfather's bad habits."
Feng Lixuan held his buttocks, unconvinced, and said aggrievedly: "Aunt, please judge for yourself. When I was promoted to deputy director, the leader praised me for being grandma's grandson. My grandma despises me at times like this. I heard that my great-aunt was not like this before. How come you didn't inherit it?"
Feng Lixuan’s great-aunt was Zhao Yeqing’s grandmother, who had a very gentle and kind personality.
When Mrs. Feng heard her grandson mention her deceased aunt, she was no longer angry. Her eyelids drooped, and she was slightly absent-minded, lost in memories of the past:
"In fact, you all don't understand. She appears to be a weak character, but in fact, she is the most stubborn one in the family. She followed your grandfather's instructions to go into the mountains to guard the forest without caring about anything. At that time, people living in this mountain village didn't even have a piece of land. The whole family didn't agree with her going with your grandfather, so she left without hesitation.
Just say she believed that person would not let her suffer.”
"Fortunately, she is good at judging people. Guarding the forest is not a good career, and she can't make money or grow food, but she has never suffered... Xiao Mu's personality is somewhat similar to your grandfather."
Zhao Yeqing didn't know much about the past. After she could remember, the relationship between her grandmother and her former relatives had eased and they still visited each other quite often.
When Zhao Yeqing first heard the story of the two old people, vivid pictures instantly emerged in his mind, and he couldn't help but sniff.
The feelings that had been sealed for so many years were suddenly punctured, and the sour memories leaked out, making her eyes red.
Old Mrs. Feng was so heartbroken that she hugged her and treated her like a good child.
Feng Lixuan hadn't been in a relationship for so many years. When he saw a girl crying, he didn't know what to do. He could only comfort her: "It's okay, little aunt! You still have us. From now on, my dad will be your dad!"
Feng Laokong stretched out one hand and angrily hit him with his crutch:
"Your dad is her brother!"
"Pfft!" Zhao Yeqing was still feeling uncomfortable just now, and the tears on his face had not yet been wiped away. He couldn't help but burst out laughing when he heard these ridiculous words, "No one is taking advantage of you like this."
Feng Lixuan immediately took credit: "Grandma, you see, it was me who made Aunt laugh."
Old Mrs. Feng couldn't bear to see that with such a grandson, she might not be able to complete her century-long project.

In the following time, Feng Lixuan started to travel around the area according to his plan. Zhao Yeqing warned him, "Be careful when you get close to the woods. It's okay to drive on the meadow, but it's not certain if you enter the woods. Try not to go in."
He didn't say it in front of the old lady, but told the truth when he sent Feng Lixuan out. "We have encountered wolves, jackals, and bears several times on the meadow. Don't go into the woods! Especially the pine forest. A tiger appeared there last year."
Feng Lixuan, who hadn't taken it too seriously just now, was surprised to hear that there were so many ferocious animals on the meadow. He looked at his petite and seemingly very weak aunt and asked, "How did you escape?"
"Some escaped, and some had to be beaten. The old lady was afraid of scaring her at home..." Zhao Yeqing tilted his head towards the door: "Before, there was a wolf head hanging on the top of the gate, or the head of the wolf king, to deter other animals."
"Brother Mu killed him?"
"We killed him together."
Feng Lixuan's eyes changed when he looked at Zhao Yeqing, "...Aunt, you are awesome!"
Weak? That's my biggest misunderstanding of my aunt.
The car keys were handed to Feng Lixuan. As soon as the canvas covering the car was lifted, Feng Lixuan's eyes widened: "... From now on, if anyone calls you guys country bumpkins living in the mountains, I will be the first to slap him in the face."
Which farmer in the mountains flies a helicopter into the city and drives a million-dollar car around in the mountains?
"There is another one. You might see it if you pass by the middle of the meadow later. The tire was flat and Mu Xi and I didn't have time to change it. It has been left in the middle of the meadow. Do you know how to change it? We got the tire back too."
Feng Lixuan: "...Don't tell me it's so expensive..."
