In Wales, the snow comes and goes so fast that within four days the snow at the Bracken Tree Farm has disappeared without a trace, but without the snow, there is nothing else bright in the forest farm, and now it is only gray and light brown, and the wind howling in the valley makes it feel very bleak.

But thanks to the electricity generated by the windmills that run through the canyon, the Bracken Tree Farm Mansion is always warm.

It's warm, but there's only one person.

As the biggest religious festival of the year in the West, everyone except Lin Yilong has to go to church to spend Christmas with his mother's family, and he will not come back until dinner.

Lin Yilong, who was left, felt bored by himself, went to Lin's father and Lin's mother to have lunch together, and then planned his next travel route, and planned until his daughters came home.

For more than ten years, most of the Christmas gifts that Lin Yilong has been giving to his daughters are various gift cards, or some novel foods, and even so ordinary that he learned to make chocolate cakes when he was fine, and this year is no different - this year's gift is Lin Yilong's own cheesecake.

Because it is cut into smaller pieces, you can eat some more even after Christmas dinner.

The following Christmas was a bit uneventful, not as lively as last year's on a newly acquired private yacht.

After Christmas, including Tanya and Natasha, the daughters' winter vacation stock is also exhausted, and in a week at most, that is, the second day of the new year, the daughters should work and go to school.

"I don't know if my father-in-law will be a little sad when he sees the appearance of his previous apartment. After the daughters left home for London, Lin Yilong and the sisters returned to their apartment near Moscow University.

The apartment was in disrepair, the wallpaper and tiles were somewhat damaged, and the corner of the bathroom was even covered with a thick layer of cobwebs. Seeing the home that sheltered them become like this, Nadia and Vera are also a little sad.

"Don't say that, now this is my home with Vera plus Tanya and Natasha. Nadia said, "Didn't you sell our apartment in the south of the city?"

"The issue of rational distribution of assets. Lin Yilong said, "I still make money by buying and selling real estate." ”

"You are the head of the house, you decide everything. Nadia sighed, "We're ready to go?"

"Yes, we'll leave when we're going to settle the apartment bill early tomorrow morning. Lin Yilong carefully collected the photos and books of his father-in-law's house, and moved downstairs with the sisters one by one, "I remember that you are not going to attend the high school reunion?"

"If you can't go, you won't go. Nadia said, "Those classmates, I haven't seen them for nearly 25 years, and I have almost forgotten what they look like." ”

"Also, my sister and I are a little too young now. Vera smiled, "We haven't changed much from 20 years ago, even compared to Tanya and Natasha, we are just sisters." ”

"The reason...... I accepted. Lin Yilong smiled, "Close the doors and windows, lock the door, and let's go." ”

Nadia and Vera put their photos and journals from their middle school years in the last bookcase, said goodbye to the apartment with a sigh, locked the door, and returned to the RV.

"By the way, why do people still like disco?" Lin Yilong asked, "How many years has this been?" ”

"Don't you also like classical music, opera and ballet?" asked Nadia rhetorically, "that's not true. ”

"But I'm in the minority, after all. Lin Yilong reinterpreted his question, "But the Russians give me the feeling that regardless of gender, young and old, it seems that they like disco." ”

"You're asking the right question. Nadia sighed.

"I'm sorry. Lin Yilong clenched his fists.

"Where do we go next?"

"The classic Trans-Siberian Railway. Lin Yilong replied, "Go to Vladimir, Kazan, Perm and then to Yekaterinburg." ”

"I thought you were going to take the route from Saratov and Penza via Astrakhan through Central Asia. Nadia complained, "Haven't we already traveled by train in Siberia?"

"It's not very peaceful to go through Central Asia. Lin Yilong was a little reassured.

"Isn't it a good year now?"

"It's not a law and order issue. Lin Yilong replied, "I am now in Almaty or Tashkent, and if I am recognized, it will be like a man from the Toe Peninsula walking on the streets of San Jose." ”

"So what?"

"You know, in the new century, those traditional tea-growing countries in Indochina began to participate in international trade, which had a very big impact on these Central American countries. Not to mention the Cochins, even the similar-looking Thai or Burmese people are likely to walk down the streets of San Jose and be cursed with crosses painted by coffee farmers. Lin Yilong explained, "For some reasons, I have corrupted the energy industry here, and it is estimated that the Central Asians will not draw crosses and curse me, they will throw me directly into the 'gate of hell', and I will never be released." ”

"What else can I do?"

"So, I don't want to go that way. Lin Yilong replied

"Don't worry, they won't hate you, after all, you never appeared in front of them, and only kept in touch with you through your intermediary in Krasnoyarsk. For the locals, they would only hate an Englishman with the surname 'Lynn', not the Celestial Empire with the surname 'Lam'. Nadia laughed, "We've never been to the grasslands." ”

"Seconded!" Katie and Amy also got into the carriage, and they also helped Nadia and Vera carry the bookcases together, "We also really want to go to the Western Regions as you said Yilong said, and feel the style of the Western Regions." ”

"Let's go that way, then. Lin Yilong still wants to try to save himself on a Siberian car trip, "But don't hope to see anything, because even in March, it's still snowy, just like the other day at home." Further south, there's the more secluded Hindu Kush, and I think while it's probably beautiful, no one wants to go for a walk, right?"

“...... But Siberia, except for the sea of trees, is still a sea of trees. Vera replied, "Rather than being like this place with its concrete and endless wilderness or sea of trees, it would be better to go to Central Asia and see the exoticism, at least be a little more interested." ”

The reconsideration opinions of the four people, even Lin Yilong, had to think carefully. But just like the journey from Murmansk to St. Petersburg, there really isn't much to see in Siberia in winter.

Lin Yilong immediately set off and drove on the Ring Expressway in the direction of Ryazan.
