Chapter 109

If there's any food worth trying in the cold weather, it would undoubtedly be roasted sweet potatoes.

And that was why, on a gloomy afternoon, Lin Yi took Huo Mianmian to study the art of roasting sweet potatoes.

Earlier that morning, Lin Yi had specifically instructed a servant to buy some sweet potatoes from the supermarket.

Now, Lin Yi took out the bag of sweet potatoes and began to select them.

All the sweet potatoes were oval-shaped, red, and large, and just by looking at them, one could imagine how fragrant and sweet they would be when roasted.

Huo Mianmian also leaned over the countertop, watching the sweet potatoes.

Lin Yi looked down at him with a smile, "Mianmian, which one do you like? Pick your own, and I'll roast it for you."

"Okay~"

Huo Mianmian happily rummaged through the bag and finally found the most attractive sweet potato.

Lin Yi praised him without hesitation, "As expected of our Mianmian, even picking sweet potatoes, you choose the best one."

Huo Mianmian jumped up happily and volunteered, "Dad, I want to pick one for you too."

Lin Yi: "Sure, go ahead."

Soon, Huo Mianmian picked out another beautifully shaped sweet potato for Lin Yi and handed both of them to him.

Lin Yi snapped his fingers, "Alright, let's roast these two."

He then washed the sweet potatoes under the tap, cleaned them thoroughly, and placed them in the oven.

After closing the oven door and setting the temperature and time, the oven started working.

While waiting for the sweet potatoes to roast, father and son went outside to play in the villa's grounds.

Huo Mianmian looked at the place where the birds had fought, his tone tinged with a hint of disappointment, "Dad, why don't those two little birds come anymore?"

Lin Yi smiled, "One of the birds almost lost all its feathers, so it naturally doesn't dare to come back. Otherwise, if it lost all its feathers, how would it survive the winter?"

Huo Mianmian nodded seriously, "That's true. It's so cold in winter; having no feathers wouldn't work."

Lin Yi couldn't help but laugh at Huo Mianmian's solemn expression.

Father and son strolled around the villa grounds.

The villa complex covered several thousand square meters, and it would take a while to walk through it all.

This villa complex was very high-end, clearly expensive to build.

However, overall, it felt a bit cold and impersonal, as most of the buildings were modern and metallic, lacking a homely atmosphere.

As they walked, Lin Yi said, "I think we should add more things to this villa complex."

Pointing to an area, he continued, "For example, we could dig a pond there, plant some lotus roots, and enjoy the lotus flowers in summer and eat the lotus roots in autumn."

Lin Yi was mostly talking to himself, not expecting Huo Mianmian to understand.

But after he finished speaking, Huo Mianmian nodded vigorously, "Good idea, good idea~"

Lin Yi didn't expect the little one to be so cooperative and smiled before pointing elsewhere, "Or we could build a swing there, and we can swing whenever we want."
