No, this is a snowmans nose, Su Binglan said with a smile. She was always very patient with her two nephews.

After breakfast, Baili Xihong came to play with Su Xuexuan and Su Xuehai. Even Baili Jinghua came to talk to Su Binglan.

Su Binglan looked at Baili Jinghuas expression and felt she had something important to say. She called Baili Jinghua into her room to talk, and Baili Jinghua discussed severe matters with her.

I might have to leave Su Teng Village with Xihong.

Su Binglans expression changed. Why is that? Did something happen?

She thought there was something amiss with Baili Jinghuas expression. She held her friends hand and said, Tell me if you encounter any problems, and I can help you solve them.

Su Binglan truly treated Baili Jinghua as a sister. After all, Baili Jinghua was Lan Ruobings best friend in the past, so Su Binglan hoped to help her.

Baili Jinghua whispered, Its okay, its okay. Dont worry. I feel my parents are not dead yet since I found some clues about them. I want to find them.

Su Binglan was stunned when she heard that. R-Really?!

She was thrilled for Baili Jinghua. It would be a gift if your parents were still alive.

Baili Jinghua smiled. Yes, thats why Im so happy. I know how capable my parents are, so how could they have died? I want to go to the north to look for them. Ive only told you about this, okay?

Su Binglan asked, Is there anything I can do for you?

Baili Jinghua shook her head. Theres no need. Ill take Xihong with methe fewer people who know about this, the better. Dont worry about us, alright?

Well be okay.

She tightly held Su Binglans hand and added, I have so much to thank you for, Binglan. I wouldnt have been able to speak to many business people from other places if I hadnt helped at the hotpot restaurant.

I heard some news about my parents through their conversations. Then I realized that my parents might still be alive. The last someone saw them was at the northern border.

Baili Jinghuas eyes lit up when she spoke of this. Her heart was full of hope.

She thought her parents had died, and her heart was in great pain, but she felt inexplicably happy now that she had learned that her parents could still be alive.

She would have a home there if her parents were still alive. Baili Jinghua wanted to bring her son along because she knew her parents would be thrilled to meet Baili Xihong.

Su Binglan knew the hotpot restaurants business went swimmingly because many foreign merchants would visit Teng He Town to eat hotpot after conducting business. Some even visited just to eat hotpot.

She also knew how popular her hotpot restaurants had become. Although she had two hotpot restaurants now, they would still be packed with customers, and many others would line up outside. Plus, more people would want to eat hotpot because it was winter.

People came from around the world and naturally talked about many things while eating. Baili Jinghua was helping at one of the restaurants and had heard much news about the outside world.

However, she never expected to hear about her parents and became extremely excited. She had also been preparing things in secret over the past few days. She had sought Blue Mountain Academys Mr. Kongs help and finally confirmed a location at the northern border.

Baili Jinghua wanted to go and look around in hopes of finding her parents.

Su Binglan was happy for Baili Jinghua when she heard the news.

Baili Jinghua looked at her expression and knew what she was thinking. You dont have to worry about my safety since my martial arts are exceptional.

You even taught me some close combat techniques, so my skills are much better than before. Ive also asked someone to forge me a weapon, so I cant be any safer.

She had already prepared her things and told her son about her plans, so she brought Baili Xihong to play with his two friends before setting off.

Su Binglan noticed Baili Jinghuas determination and understood her thoughts.

Su Binglan asked, Are you leaving soon?

I plan to leave after attending your uncles wedding.

After some thought, Su Binglan realized three days remained before Baili

Jinghua would leave. Okay, then Ill prepare something for you. Its colder in the north, so Ill make you some clothes and food.

She would not dissuade Baili Jinghua. After all, Su Binglan would do the same if the roles got switched. Hence, she supported Baili Jinghua and understood her feelings.

Still, Baili Jinghua could not bear to let Su Binglan help. She knew how valuable the items the embroidery shop made were. She said, Theres honestly no need, Binglan. Xihong and I already have everything we need.

Su Binglan said severely, What youve prepared is your own, so Ill prepare some things for you, too. Dont worry. Ill make you something useful.

Baili Jinghua was touched. The sweaters you made for us feel nice and warm. Even Xihong loves them, always saying how comfortable they are. We used charcoal for our brick bed last night, and it didnt even feel cold.

She was grateful to Su Binglan but did not know how to express her grat.i.tude besides saying, I cant thank you enough, Binglan.

Baili Jinghua knew Su Binglan would prepare useful things for her and her son, but she still felt guilty.

Theres no need to thank me, Jinghua.

After talking to Baili Jinghua, Su Binglan went to the embroidery shop. When she arrived, the employees were already there while Ding Wan was packing the items Su Binglan had asked them to make for Miao Zhizhi. Ding Wan would bring those items to Old Madam Sus house today.

When Ding Wan saw her niece, she thought Su Binglan wanted to follow her to

Old Madam Sus house. She said, Youre here early, Binglan.

Yes, Aunt Ding. I came to ask you for a favor.

Ding Wans hands paused midair when she heard her nieces words. She put the items aside and asked, Is it something urgent?

Since Ding Wan oversaw the embroidery shop for Su Binglan, she would delegate and instruct the employees to do it.

Su Binglan explained, Lets put the other things aside for the next couple of days, Aunt Ding. Well first make two sets of down jackets for an adult, two more for a kid, and a set of down duvets. Then well make four sweaters. Two will be for an adult, and the others for a kid.

She wanted to prepare those things for Baili Jinghua and Baili Xihong. Since the north would be colder, they would not freeze if they had these things.

Lets also make snow boots.

Ding Wan knew how to make down jackets and down duvets but was clueless about snow boots.

S-Snow boots?
