After playing Pegasus for most of the time at the ranch, during the dinner party in the evening, Zhou Yan told Cheng Lidong about the itinerary plan.
"no problem!"
The next day, after breakfast, a small convoy of RVs and off-road vehicles set off again, heading north.
It was midsummer, and there were many tourists coming to the grassland for vacation and summer vacation. Zhou Yan and Cheng Lidong didn't stand alone, they just followed the "big army" wherever they went.
At noon, the two vehicles that followed the tour group did not follow the bus convoy into the "pastoral area" which was full of fixed houses. Instead, they "set up camp" by a small river outside the pastoral area, surrounded by mountains and rivers.
We set up the tent and parasol, moved the tables, chairs and kitchen utensils from the carriage, and started preparing lunch.
There is no need to prepare too much for lunch for five people. The five of them can wash the rice and wash the vegetables together.
"The water in this small river is so clear that I can't bear to pour rice washing water into it..."
Cheng Lin, who was washing the vegetables with her, quietly came up to Qin Ruoshu and said, "Sister Shu, let's do it ourselves?"
"You know there's something fishy inside, but you still join in the fun?" Qin Ruoshu smiled, "Our money didn't come from the strong wind. Besides, how can we be confident that we make our own restaurants in scenic spots?"
Within a few minutes, the five of them found several people walking out of the scenic spot cursing and sitting on the grass, drinking mineral water and eating bread.
"What's going on?" This was the first time Cheng Lin saw such a formation.
“The food here is not very affordable!”
Before the dishes were washed, Qin Ruoshu suddenly coughed at Zhou Yan.
After Zhou Yan reacted, he looked back and saw a young man with a big gold chain around his neck walking towards him.
"Brother, I'm cooking for myself!"
There was a heavy smell of dirt when he opened his mouth. Before he could get closer, he took off his backpack from behind, took out a bag of dry goods, and handed it to Zhou Yan, who seemed the most relaxed.
"Brother, let's get together..."
Zhou Yan didn't pick up the thing, glanced at it, and pushed it back: "No need, who hasn't encountered any difficulties when going out..."
"Linlin, go move another chair!"
"Sit anywhere you want..."
After greeting Cheng Lidong to receive the "guests", Zhou Yan went to the refrigerator to get some ingredients.
"Little brother, your parents don't worry about you traveling alone."
"What's there to worry about?" said Shamat* Sheniu, a young man with a confident face. "I'm an adult now. The college entrance examination is over. Let's go out and relax..."
College entrance examination?
Cheng Lidong's eyes lit up: "Which university should I apply to?"
"First voyage!"
"Hey, Zhou Yan, your schoolmate!" Cheng Lidong smiled and glanced at Cheng Lin thoughtfully, "Our girl also signed up for the maiden voyage!"
"That's a coincidence," the Shamate boy touched his blond hair with a bit of regret on his face, "I didn't do well in the exam and didn't dare to apply for aircraft design..."
"You are from the Northeast, right?" Zhou Yan came back with the food and took a look at the Shamate boy's slightly unruly hair color. "Why don't you apply for Bingcheng Industry? The mechanical major there is better than that of Shouhang."
Quite a few..."
"It's too close to home!" The Shamate boy looked at Zhou Yan with great energy, "Senior brother, what's your major?"
"My undergraduate degree is in thermal energy, and I majored in aerospace engines as a graduate student..."
After just chatting for a short while, Zhou Yan knew that the Shamate boy in front of him had a pretty good family background. He was wearing a pilot series from IWC and a sports suit worth tens of thousands of dollars.
After a while, some of the dishes were washed.
Zhou Yan picked up the apron, tied it around his waist, and lit the gas stove.
Half an hour later, the rice was steamed and the vegetables were served.
At the "critical moment", the young man who was the best at Shamat Society became shy.
"Sit down, don't be embarrassed, I can't let you call me senior brother in vain, right?"
After lunch, Sha Ma helped wash the dishes. Even Cheng Lin, who seldom did housework, could tell that this yellow-haired young master "kept his fingers clean."
Fortunately, there were no "casualties" caused by dishes and chopsticks...
After the meal, Mr. Huang Mao sat for a while, until the tour guide waved a small flag to summon him, then he reluctantly asked Zhou Yan and Cheng Lidong for their contact information, and left without looking back.
"Zhou Yan, you non-mainstream alumni are quite interesting..."
"My family is probably in the medicinal materials business, and all the dry goods are real mountain products..." Zhou Yan picked up the thermos cup, took a sip of tea, and said with a smile, "As for dyeing yellow hair, it's either the rebellious stage, or it's a protective color added on purpose...
"
As he said that, Zhou Yan glanced at Cheng Lin.
"Linlin, if you dare to be rebellious with me and dye your hair colorful, you see how I will deal with you..."
"With your attitude, how dare I?" Cheng Lin looked at the looming yellow spots in the distance with aggrieved expression, her eyes wandering, not knowing what she was thinking.
After going back to sleep at noon, we started our journey again. The tour group bus that was still hanging in front of us had disappeared.
"Ahead is the Greater Khingan Range..."
The undulating mountains are lush and green, including many towering trees of thirty to forty meters. However, the ecology cannot be restored to the "forest sea" in the Greater Khingan Mountains in Zhou Yan's memory in a short time.
"Since the core content of this trip is the grassland, we will not go any further..."
I just drove fifty or sixty kilometers to the Daxinganling Mountains, stayed in the forest area for one night, then turned around and headed straight for the border...
"Brother Yan, look over there..."
Without Cheng Lin's reminder, Zhou Yan had already discovered the tour group that Xiao Huangmao was in.
"Brother Dong," Zhou Yan picked up the walkie-talkie, "your daughter is about to be abducted by Xiao Huangmao..."
"No way?" Cheng Lin retorted with both laughter and anger.
"Little Huangmao just disappeared for a long time, so you are expecting it; if that little Huangmao pursues you and plays hard-to-get, can you handle it?" Zhou Yan said with a smirk on his face.
Cheng Lin said no more words...
During lunch, Xiao Huangmao came unexpectedly.
However, this time I came "prepared" and brought some meat, cold dishes and cooked food.
"Senior, I'm here to help you out again..."
Xiao Huangmao, who has an explosive emotional intelligence, noticed that Cheng Lidong and his wife looked at him a little bit wrong, so he approached Zhou Yan, and while he was washing vegetables, he quietly asked: "Brother, what's going on?"
"You unintentionally achieved the effect of playing hard to get..." Zhou Yan smiled and glanced back at Cheng Lidong and his wife, "The couple is guarding against you now, for fear that you will abduct the little girl..."
Xiao Huangmao was dumbfounded: "Isn't this too unfair to me?"
"Do you have any ideas? I'll give you a clue..."
"Don't worry...I can't even support myself. If I look for a girlfriend, won't I make myself uncomfortable?"
During lunch, the atmosphere at the dinner table was still very strange. Although Cheng Lidong didn't look at the "guests", the smile on his face was still very inconsistent, "smiling superficially but not smiling at all".
After lunch, Xiao Huangmao quickly fled the "accident scene".
"Brother Dong, I think this little Huangmao's family is pretty good, and he's a good match for you..." Looking at the retreating figures of his juniors, Zhou Yan happily turned back to Cheng Lidong and said, "Besides, Linlin is going to college, so there are
He is an acquaintance, which can be regarded as someone taking care of him..."
"Don't fight with me haha..." Cheng Lidong gave Zhou Yan a slap in the face, "Take care of me? Just say hello..."
"That's right. Anyway, the ratio of men to women is imbalanced, so we don't have to worry..."
