After Chen Feng left, Huang Fei got up, dressed, quickly washed his face, and sat down at the table to eat.
Although Huang Fei is rather lazy, he is absolutely impeccable when it comes to driving. You can tell me what time you want to leave, and I will arrive at your house at that exact time. I will not be delayed by even a minute, and you don't have to worry about him causing any problems.
"What's going on? I think I heard Fengzi say he's going to pan for gold?" Huang Fei's father overheard from outside and only half understood.
“Okay, Fengzi, go by yourself. Let me take him there. I’ll eat something and then leave,” Huang Fei said, shoveling a mouthful of rice into his mouth.
"Go by yourself? How much will you charge him for the fare? Won't you lose money?" Huang Fei's mother asked, frowning.
The fee won't be too high if one person goes alone. I can't let this trip not only fail to earn anything but also result in a loss, right?
“A hundred yuan isn’t enough,” Huang Fei replied.
"Oh, that's alright. Even though we earn less, as long as we don't lose money, that's fine." Huang Fei's mother nodded in relief after hearing that it was one hundred yuan.
“Fengzi is addicted to shopping too. He wants to go too. It would be better if we all went together tomorrow, and we could save so much money,” Huang Fei’s mother added.
After all, everyone has to make a living. Relationships are one thing, but we also need to eat, so Huang Fei's mother's concerns are not unreasonable.
Huang Fei originally planned to go with Chen Feng and then come back to catch up on his sleep, but then he thought that if he went and came back on his own, his father would definitely scold him, and the 3,000 yuan he spent on the detector would be wasted.
I have to set an example for him!
"Mom, pack me some food, Fengzi and I will eat together," Huang Fei said, holding up his rice bowl.
“You’re going too? That makes sense, it’s on the way, otherwise you’ll have made a wasted trip. If you go with Tao Tao, every little bit helps.” His mother immediately stood up and found a lunchbox to pack food for Huang Fei.
Huang Fei's father raised an eyebrow upon hearing this, but remained silent.
Huang Fei finished eating quickly, took his lunchbox and got into the car. His tools were all in the car and he hadn't taken them out, which saved him the trouble of moving them.
I drove up to Chen Feng's house and honked the horn at the door.
Chen Feng knew he was coming as soon as he heard the horn, so he slung his bag over his shoulder, went out, and got into the car.
This time, with just the two of them in the car, it felt quite spacious. Chen Feng sat in the front row and placed his tools in the aisle.
The two strolled leisurely out of the village. Huang Fei casually asked, "What are you going to the county town for? What's up?"
“Your aunt’s shoes are worn out from working, and she’s reluctant to buy new ones. She has no shoes left to wear, so I’m going to the county town to buy her a pair,” Chen Feng said, leaning back in his seat.
"Hey, you should have said so earlier! My mom still has a few pairs of work shoes. Auntie can wear them for a few days, and we can go to the county town to buy more tomorrow."
"You went to all that trouble today, spending a fortune to charter a car to the county town. It was totally unnecessary," Huang Fei said helplessly.
"It's alright, I'll have to buy them sooner or later anyway, and I can't stay idle anyway," Chen Feng said with a smile.
Just after the two left, around 7 o'clock, Old Wang, his nose running from the cold, was urged by his wife to put on a cotton hat and go to Huang Fei's house.
"Uncle Huang, is Huang Fei home? I want to take a ride to the county town to buy glass," Old Wang said, wiping his nose.
"Oh, you should have said so earlier! Huang Fei left to pan for gold in an abandoned mine with Chen Feng," Huang's father said regretfully.
If I had known earlier, I would have asked Huang Fei to give Lao Wang a ride, so I could have made more money.
"Huh?" Old Wang's expression was as if he had swallowed a fly.
He was worried that Huang Fei might have something to do today, so he arrived at seven o'clock, but he was still a step too late. Huang Fei had already been called away by Chen Feng.
"Alright then, I'll go ask someone else. I'm off, Uncle Huang," Old Wang said, waving his hand.
"Okay, why are you wearing a cotton hat so early in the morning? It's so cold outside," Uncle Huang said as he saw him off.
"Don't even mention it. There's no glass in the house, and my head gets so cold at night. I had to get up in the middle of the night to find a hat to wear," Old Wang said, hugging his shoulders and tucking his hands into his sleeves.
Huang Fei's father almost burst out laughing when he heard this, but he managed to hold it in and sent him out.
Old Wang had no choice but to go to Lu Dahai and ask him to drive his car to the county town to buy glass.
To be honest, he even suspected that Chen Feng did it on purpose. Knowing that he wanted to buy glass, he deliberately sent Huang Fei away. Damn it.
Upon entering, I saw Lu Dahai had just finished eating and was leaning against the bar, smoking.
"Old Lu, can you give me a ride? I need to go to the county town to buy four panes of glass," Old Wang said as he approached.
“Buy glass? You should ask Huang Fei. His truck is big and easy to haul. My truck is too small, it’s hard to haul.” Lu Dahai hesitated for a moment before saying.
His car was a brand new one he bought a few years ago, costing over 30,000 yuan. Lu Dahai treasured it terribly.
He never uses it to haul goods, only to transport people to the county town. He always wipes the car down and makes it shine.
"No way, Huang Fei was called away by Chen Feng to go gold panning this morning, and we don't know when he'll be back."
"Last night the window had no glass, and the wind was blowing straight in, freezing my head. I had no choice but to put on a cotton hat in the middle of the night," Old Wang said, adjusting the hat on his head.
Seeing that he had already said that, Lu Dahai had no choice but to say, "Alright then, sixty yuan for a round trip to the county town."
“Okay, then start the car, let’s go now,” Old Wang agreed.
"Hmm." Lu Dahai nodded and turned to go to his family's warehouse.
After rummaging through a pile of junk for a while, I found some soft foam, which I'll use to line the glass later.
He wasn't afraid the glass would shatter, but rather that it would scratch his car. If it did, he would be heartbroken.
On the other side, Chen Feng and his companion arrived at their destination. Huang Fei woke up the groggy Chen Feng and said, "Fengzi, do you think this location is okay? If you don't like it, I'll drive a little further ahead."
After all, Chen Feng is the main character today, so I'll stop wherever you say.
Chen Feng sat up, looked around, and, feeling that it was about the same, nodded.
"Okay, this will do," Chen Feng said, stretching.
Huang Fei parked the car, and the two of them packed up their tools and got out.
Chen Feng, carrying the detector, looked at the endless abandoned mine in front of him and took a breath of fresh air.
For the first time, he realized what a vast world meant, a place where there was so much to be done.
"From here on, you go west, I'll go east, and we'll never look back," Chen Feng teased Huang Fei with a smile.
"Damn, then we'd have to go explore Siberia!" Huang Fei chuckled, knowing that Chen Feng was joking.
The two found a place that looked good and started working. Chen Feng didn't have many targets for today.
He would be content as long as he could earn a thousand, and he would be very happy if he could earn a thousand five.
He wandered aimlessly through the abandoned mine, glancing at the system panel as he walked.
He can currently upgrade three things: detection range and depth.
There are also other functions.
The detection type cannot be upgraded temporarily, and certain prerequisites are required.
Both the range and depth can be upgraded with 10,000 points, and he is closest to both of these goals.
