Spring Breeze Twenty Years

Chapter 474 Fees

The group of people slowly walked out with the flow of people, all the way to the dock, where they handed over their coats, thus completing their tour of the cave.

The experience of walking out of the cave is completely different from when you first enter, both visually and in terms of feeling. Looking out from the inside, the cave entrance appears flat and very bright, while everything outside is barely visible from the inside. After being in darkness for so long, my eyes are no longer used to the light outside the cave. This whole process took nearly an hour and a half.

When they came out of the cave, the slightly scorching sun felt warm on their skin, and even the trees seemed greener than before. The six of them found a spacious spot and sat on a stone platform to bask in the sun. Xiao Hong, Geng Hui, and Chen Xiao chattered excitedly about the beautiful scenery inside the cave.

Chen Hui rubbed his face and said, "Oh, I'm feeling better now. It was really cold just now. What's the temperature here? I felt like it was below zero."

Xiao Wei shook his head and said, "No, it's around ten degrees. It's mainly because it's too gloomy inside."

Xia Maosheng checked the time and asked, "What's next? Where will we stay tonight?"

Xiao Wei checked the time; it was past midnight. He said, "Let's eat. Aren't you hungry?"

Chen Hui rubbed his stomach and said, "It's probably because it's cold inside, I don't really feel hungry."

Xia Maosheng glanced at Chen Hui's stomach and said, "You ate too much this morning. Chen Hui, if you keep this up, your stomach will be bigger than Xiao Xiao's! Aren't you uncomfortable?"

Chen Hui patted his stomach and said, "What am I going to do? It just keeps growing. Am I supposed to stop eating?"

Xiao Wei said, "Exercise a bit, go for a run in the morning, and jump rope in the evening. It's not just about being fat. Being fat isn't the problem; the problem is your physical condition declining, understand? You also need to pay attention to your meals. Eat regularly and in moderation. Don't eat whatever you want. If your stomach gets too big, you won't be able to use half of what you eat."

Chen Hui blinked, thought for a moment, and asked Xiao Wei, "Then what's the point of living?"

Xia Maosheng and Xiao Wei were both stunned, and they both exclaimed "Damn!" in unison. Chen Hui chuckled.

Chen Xiao turned to Chen Hui and said, "Let him show off for a few days. After I give birth, if he doesn't run or exercise, he shouldn't carry the baby. He should go alone. I'm feeling unwell right now and don't have time to deal with him."

Chen Hui opened his mouth wide and twitched his face, while Xiao Wei and Xia Maosheng burst into laughter. This lazybones, you just have to push him.

Xiao Hong said, "Let's eat. Should we go back and cook, or find somewhere to eat?"

Xiao Wei said, "Let's find somewhere to eat. No one has lived here for so long, we can't cook. After we eat, we can go back and check things out, and tidy up a bit."

Chen Xiao looked around and asked, "What do you want to eat? Do you have any good food around here?"

Xiao Hong took her arm and said, "Oh no, you want to eat here? A scrambled egg costs forty. Let's go into town."

Geng Hui said, "How far is it from here to the town? I didn't see many houses along this road, and I thought this area was your county town."

Xiao Wei stood up and said, "Let's go, it's fast by car, only a few kilometers. After dinner, we'll visit your home, and then in the afternoon we'll go to the reservoir. We'll stay there tonight."

Chen Hui asked, "What's so interesting about the reservoir?"

Xiao Wei said, "You're so ignorant. Let me tell you, the scenery here was famous throughout the country during the Qing Dynasty. Beixi was one of the ten scenic spots of Northeast China, you know? Come over in the fall and I'll take you into the mountains to see it. It'll be so beautiful!"

Chen Hui asked, "Autumn? What's there to see?"

Geng Hui said, "Maple leaves, of course. I've heard of Guanmenshan and Nantianmen. There are quite a few national-level scenic spots here, and they are beautiful."

Xiao Wei said, "Right after liberation, Beixi was a municipality directly under the central government. It was famous for its steel industry and beautiful scenery. Almost all the central leaders came here, and when they did, they stayed in our county seat. Do you understand? What a pity. Let's go."

The group got up and walked along the cement road to the parking lot.

It's called a parking lot, but it's just an empty dam on the riverbank. There aren't any specially built parking lots yet, and there aren't many cars.

Chen Hui said, "That's just because the scenery is beautiful, what does it have to do with the reservoir?"

Xiao Wei took out his keys and said, "How many reservoirs have you seen that are tens of kilometers long and a few kilometers wide?"

Chen Hui was stunned, and after a long while, he said, "Damn, really? Isn't that just a huge lake? It must be really fun to sail in there. Is there anything good to eat on the lake?"

Xiao Wei said, "The scenery is beautiful. There are plenty of fish and shrimp in the lake, so it's good to eat fresh. Staying by the water is definitely better than staying in a hotel in the city, right?"

Chen Hui nodded and said, "Of course. Looking out the window at the vast expanse of blue water, you'll definitely feel good. When we have more spare money in the future, I'll find a place with lots of water and buy a house there. That's what I call a higher realm."

Xiao Wei laughed and said, "Isn't there one right now? Can't we just clean up that pond properly? Don't you want to?"

Chen Hui paused for a moment before realizing what he meant, then laughed and said, "Nonsense, it's better to just look out the canal from this courtyard window."

The car door opened, and several people got in. Just as the car started moving, a few men ran over from a distance and blocked the front of the car. One of them, wearing a pair of double-layered soles with one pant leg rolled up, walked to the side of the car and said to Xiao Wei, "You're leaving without even saying hello? Are all the people from Fengtian this arrogant?" Both cars had Fengtian license plates.

Xiao Wei turned his head and glanced at him, asking, "What kind of greeting? Who are you greeting?"

The man raised his hand and knocked on the car door, saying, "Get out, get out."

Xiao Wei said, "Are you crazy? Who are you? What do you do?"

The man said, "Don't you know you have to pay for parking? You're just going to park for half a day for nothing? Are you going to run away without saying a word? Parking fee is fifty, and the fine is one hundred."

Xiao Wei chuckled and asked, "Who are you? What do you do?"

The man knocked on the car again and said, "You little brat, do you know where this is? What the hell am I doing charging you? Pay up."

Xiao Wei said, "Do you know how much this car costs? Can you afford to pay for the damages after you hit it a few times? Do you have 500,000 yuan at home? If you do, I'll let you get out and smash it for fun. If not, get lost."

The man paused for a moment and said, "Damn, you're pretty cool. Come on down." He stopped banging on the car and reached in to pull Xiao Wei out.

The group of people blocking the two cars remained silent. Chen Hui turned off the engine, got out of his car, and walked around to Xiao Wei, asking, "What's going on here?"

Xiao Wei said, "They're just trying to extort money from out-of-towners. They're nothing. Give me the phone number." He got out of the car and said to the man, "We have two pregnant women in our car, understand? If you scare them, you can just wait to die. I'll change my surname to yours if I don't shoot you." He took the phone and dialed.

The man reached out to grab the phone, but Chen Hui slapped his hand away, saying, "Trying to grab it? Can you afford to pay for it? Forty-eight thousand yuan, give me the money and I'll give you the phone, okay?"

A boy standing nearby, barely out of school age, slapped the front of the car in the face and said, "Brother Xian, what are you arguing with them about? They'll smash it if they don't pay. Are they some big shot from Fengtian?"

Xia Maosheng also got out of the car. He was tall and walked up to the guy who had been patting the car, looking down at him. Xiao Wei answered the phone.

"Feed? I'm looking for Li Zhongguo."
