Making a living in Dongguan, her fiery red lips offer me tenderness.

Chapter 30: Penniless and Unaware of the Bustling City

Just then, a strange sound came from the lychee grove.

"Wait, Xiaoying, did you hear that sound? It sounds like someone is calling from over there."

Yang Ying was a little embarrassed.

"What's so appealing about it? It's just the sound of making love, isn't it? Don't play dumb. You're an adult, and you still have this kind of hobby? Trying to eavesdrop?"

"Hehe, I don't have that kind of hobby. You enjoy yourself, I'm leaving."

"Ugh! Let's go!"

The two left the lychee grove.

"Xiaoying, are you this loud when you do it?"

"Get out of here... I hate it..."

Ding Yang returned to the dormitory building, and perhaps the dormitory security guard already recognized him, so he did not stop him.

I drank a bit too much and fell asleep on the bed. I slept very soundly and didn't wake up until after 8 a.m.

I got up and washed up. All my roommates had gone out. Today is May Day, and I wonder where they went to have fun.

Ding Yang tidied himself up, changed into the jeans and short-sleeved shirt that Liu Cuicui had bought for him, and shaved his beard clean.

As I walked downstairs and out of the factory, I saw that the streets outside were packed with people, and all the vendors had come out, making it almost like a night market.

Ding Yang went to a stall, bought a basket of steamed buns and a cup of soy milk, and ate his breakfast while standing by the wall.

To his surprise, Liu Jing walked over, and this woman had also changed into jeans and a T-shirt, and stood right next to him.

Ding Yangguang was so focused on eating that he didn't notice the crowd for a moment.

Suddenly, he turned his head and saw Liu Jing standing beside him.

Ding Yang handed over the bag of steamed buns.

"Would you like something to eat?"

"I've already eaten, you can eat."

"Ding Yang, you asked me to go to Shenzhen with you, and you even brought Wang Yi along. What do you mean by that?"

"I didn't mean anything by it. The three of us just want to go and have some fun. It's a rare opportunity to have a holiday. If you don't want to go, then forget it and pretend I didn't say anything."

"Hmph, if I don't go, you'll just go with Wang Yi, right?"

"If that's how you interpret it, then I have nothing to say."

"Hmph, then I won't do as you wish, I'm going too."

"Then that's settled. Stop being hypocritical, let's go together."

"Ding Yang, we're already together. How can you go and date Wang Yi? How can you face me?"

"Xiaojing, I never promised you I wouldn't find anyone else. Love in the factory is like fast food—it fills you up, but it's not worth savoring. One day, you'll come back to reality."

At this moment, Wang Yi also walked over. This woman was wearing a long dress and carrying a bag.

"Xiaoyi, have you had breakfast yet?"

"I've already eaten."

Ding Yang finished eating the last steamed bun.

"Let's go then!"

The three headed south and soon boarded a bus bound for Longgang.

The bus was packed with people, not just seats, even the aisle was full, making it almost impossible to move.

Ding Yang held onto the roof railing with his left hand and had his right arm around the two women; the three of them were squeezed together tightly.

The three of them got off the train at Pinghu Station.

"Ding Yang, you really picked the wrong time to come for the May Day holiday, it's crowded everywhere."

"There's nothing we can do; nobody usually gets a day off."

I took a bus from Pinghu to Window of the World. Since it was the starting station, there were still seats available. It took more than two hours to get to Window of the World.

Window of the World was also packed with people, and there was a long queue to buy tickets. Ding Yang queued for more than half an hour before he could buy three tickets, which cost 120 yuan each, quite expensive.

Upon entering the world, Ding Yang suddenly became bolder and simply took one in each hand.

The two women were a little embarrassed at first, but Ding Yang wouldn't let go, and after a while, they stopped refusing, though they did attract some strange looks. But Ding Yang didn't care at all.

From the globe sculpture in the World Square to the European section, featuring the Eiffel Tower, the Arc de Triomphe, the Leaning Tower of Pisa, and Venice...

The three of them traveled around and rested whenever they got tired. The mineral water in the scenic area cost 4 yuan a bottle, and they felt a little stingy drinking it.

We played until after 5 pm, and we were all hungry. We went from the Africa zone to the Asia zone, and then to the Americas zone. We basically explored the entire Americas zone.

Ding Yang asked, "There are still fireworks tonight, do you want to watch them?"

Wang Yi said, "I'm not watching anymore. We've been here all day. Let's go somewhere else. I'm hungry. Let's go eat. The food here is too expensive. Let's eat outside."

Liu Jing said, "Ding Yang, let's take the bus back to the outside of the pass. It would be best to go to the industrial zone. It's too expensive here. Even a bottle of water costs 4 yuan. It's cheaper in the industrial zone. Let's find a nice food stall and have some seafood."

"Okay, let's take a car to Pinghu then, since we'll be passing through there on the way back anyway."

"OK!"

The three then left Window of the World and boarded a bus to Pinghu.

The bus was moving very slowly, and it wasn't until 8 p.m. that Ding Yang got off. He didn't even know exactly where he was.

The three of them got off the bus and arrived at an industrial area, which was crowded with people. The prices here were about the same as in Fenggang.

I found a food stall, and there were some fiberglass seafood items displayed at the entrance.

Ding Yang ordered several dishes.

"Spicy mussels, salt and pepper mantis shrimp, steamed scallops with vermicelli, boiled sliced ​​pork, and eggplant casserole with fish-fragrant sauce."

Wang Yi laughed and said, "The seafood you're talking about is mantis shrimp, scallops, and mussels, right?"

"Big sister, it's good enough that we can have mantis shrimp. I can't afford to treat you to grouper or Australian lobster right now. But when I have money in the future, I'll treat you to king crab and bluefin tuna."

"Go away, if you were really rich, you'd probably have forgotten about me by now."

"No, I will never forget those who helped my brother."

"Eat up!"

Liu Jing said, "This holiday is more tiring than working. I walked around all day, and my feet are swollen."

Ding Yang said, "I just checked, there's a Home Inn up ahead. Let's stay here tonight."

What do you mean?

"We have a three-day holiday, right? Let's continue having fun tomorrow. It'll be past 9 o'clock by the time we finish eating, and there won't be any buses running. Taking a taxi is too expensive, so it's not worth it. Let's go shopping in places like Huaqiangbei and MixC tomorrow."

"Big brother, you're not suggesting the three of us go to a hotel, are you?"

"Of course, is there a fourth one?"

"How many rooms should we open?"

"You have so much money, why are you booking several rooms? Just a double room, the kind with two beds, you two can share one bed, and I'll sleep in the other one by myself."

"If three people want to stay in a double room, people might not agree."

"Are you stupid? We could have just gone in later. Why did you have to go in with all three of you?"

"How about we open two rooms?"

Ding Yang said, "There's no need. We've stayed in hotels before. I just have something to tell you. It's just three people sharing a room, and the prices at Home Inn aren't cheap either. It's also much cleaner than a small hotel."

"Eat up!"

"Oh, there seems to be an ice rink over there. Do you want to go ice skating?"

"No, my legs are killing me."

"Ding Yang, have you been to Shenzhen before?"

I've been to Pinghu several times.

"Didn't you say you weren't here?... "

"Didn't I tell you? I pick up passengers on a motorcycle in Fenggang. When customers come to Pinghu, I just take them over. But it's at night. I'm afraid the traffic police won't dare to come during the day."

"You're not thinking of quitting your job to go back to driving a motorcycle taxi, are you?"

"No, I'm not that shallow. You can't make much money driving a motorcycle taxi, and it's very dangerous. It may seem like you're free, but you actually have to work from dawn till dusk. It's even more tiring than a regular job. My skin has gotten tanned."

"So what do you want to do?"

"Don't worry about that, I'll find something else to do."

"Ding Yang, I think we should go back to Fenggang. We can just stroll around the CR Vanguard supermarket. Shenzhen is bustling, but the prices are too high, especially in the inner city. Even if we go to MixC tomorrow, what good will it do? Can you afford luxury goods? And if we go to a seafood restaurant, how many kinds of seafood can you afford to order? It's just a matter of browsing, what's the point? It's better not to go, out of sight, out of mind."

"We're all just working people. If we go back and stay in the dorms, we won't have to spend any money. We can stroll around the industrial area, watch a movie, go ice skating, and have some late-night snacks. That would be pretty good."

Ding Yang sighed.

"Alas! My pockets are empty, I know nothing of the bustling city! You're right, even if I saw it, what good would it do? I can't afford it anyway."

"The stars don't ask about the traveler's journey, and time doesn't fail those with a heart. One day, I will be able to afford luxury goods."

"Xiaojing, let's stay here tonight. I'm a little tired. We'll take the bus back to Yantian tomorrow morning."

Liu Jing didn't say anything, and looked at Wang Yi.

Wang Yi said, "It's already 9 o'clock, and there are no more buses running. Let's just stay here."

Liu Jing stopped talking.
