Huang Fei took the money with some hesitation, then took out a twenty-yuan note from his pocket and handed it to Chen Feng, saying, "Fengzi, you didn't make any money today either, but I'm doing alright. You can give me eighty."
If Chen Feng manages to find something today, he'll definitely accept the 100 yuan without hesitation.
The problem is that Chen Feng had terrible luck today. He didn't earn a single penny and even had to charter a car to go out, which resulted in a huge loss.
I was lucky today, thanks to him; otherwise, I wouldn't have gone out to pan for gold for no reason.
Charge him twenty less, so he loses less money.
Chen Feng looked at the twenty yuan Huang Fei handed him, paused for a moment, then stepped forward, patted him on the shoulder, and pressed his hand down, telling him to put the money away.
"Dafei, I appreciate your kind gesture. Although I didn't make any money today, I did make some a few days ago."
"Keep the money safe, that's how you make a living."
To be honest, Huang Fei's actions really touched Chen Feng. He really didn't expect Huang Fei to waive twenty yuan for him.
Chen Feng will remember this kindness.
Although Huang Fei is usually a bit lazy and loves to talk, he is a truly loyal and righteous person, which is undeniable.
Huang Fei wanted to say something more, but Chen Feng's resolute attitude made Huang Fei swallow his words.
"Okay, I'll keep it." Huang Fei nodded.
"Okay, get some rest. I'm going back for dinner," Chen Feng said.
After hearing Chen Feng's words, Huang Fei couldn't help but laugh: "Why rest? I slept all afternoon and I'm not sleepy at all. I'm full of energy."
After saying this, the two of them laughed. Huang Fei belatedly covered his mouth and glanced guiltily toward his home.
If his dad heard this, he'd definitely give him a lecture.
After chatting for a few minutes, Chen Feng picked up his things and headed home. As soon as he entered, he saw Liu Ping cooking.
"Hey? Why are you back so early today?"
Liu Ping was quite surprised to see Chen Feng return. She thought it was because she had cooked too late, so she turned around to look at the clock on the wall.
"Yeah, I was a bit tired, so I left half an hour early. You start cooking, I'm going to Lu Dahai's house," Chen Feng said, taking off his backpack.
"Okay, go ahead, dinner will be ready in a while." Liu Ping nodded.
Chen Feng arrived at Lu Dahai's house with a cigarette in his mouth. He composed himself outside before pushing open the door and going inside.
Everyone in the room turned to look when they saw Chen Feng return.
"Give me two packs of cigarettes," Chen Feng said with a long face.
"What's wrong? You don't seem happy today?" Lu Dahai noticed that Chen Feng wasn't as cheerful as usual and couldn't help but ask.
"Damn it, don't even mention it. I didn't find a single chicken feather today, and I even lost my travel expenses," Chen Feng said irritably, leaning against the bar.
Upon hearing this, everyone in the room was startled and couldn't help but look over, even forgetting to play cards.
They never imagined that Chen Feng would one day be in the Air Force; they had previously speculated about how much money Chen Feng would make that day.
The final conclusion is that 500 is the minimum, and 1000 is reasonable.
No one expected that this would be the result after all the guessing.
"What? You didn't find anything today? Really?" Lu Dahai asked incredulously.
"Of course it's true. Huang Fei went with me. I wish I hadn't gone today." Chen Feng took the cigarette, took a deep breath, and said.
"How could this happen? Did we choose the wrong location?" Lu Dahai couldn't help but wonder.
"I'm just unlucky. Huang Fei managed to find some good stuff today, and it's not small either. It must be worth tens of dollars. Could it be that there's something wrong with the place?" Chen Feng said, taking a drag of his cigarette.
"Huang Fei even managed to find some goods?" Lu Dahai asked in surprise.
To be honest, no one would be surprised if any of these people found something, but Huang Fei's case is truly unbelievable.
That kid is notorious for his usual behavior, so who would have thought that Chen Feng, the Air Force, would actually win today?
This is truly a reversal of the natural order.
"Are you kidding me? If you had known, you would have been better off not going. You could have paid a hundred for the travel expenses, added some food and drinks, and smoked half a pack of cigarettes."
"You've worked hard all day and still have to pay 120 yuan," Lu Dahai sighed.
"That's right, damn it, what bad luck." Chen Feng threw down twenty yuan, waved his hand with a cigarette in his hand, and went out the door.
As soon as Chen Feng stepped out the door, the room erupted in chaos.
"Damn, Chen Feng didn't find anything today?"
"Of course! Look at his expression. How could he be faking it? If he really found something, he would be beaming with joy. Why would he be making that face?"
"I always knew Chen Feng couldn't possibly find such great deals every time; it's simply impossible."
"He even chartered a car to go shopping, he was so smug, he didn't know what to do with the money he made, now he's lost 120 and he'll have to shut up."
"Exactly, the previous times were just pure luck. Everyone joked that he was a gold-digging genius, and he actually believed it. It cracked me up."
"I have such a bad feeling about this. Could it really be true? That I really didn't find anything?"
"That's not even the truth. If he were alone, he might lie, but he went with Huang Fei. Huang Fei isn't blind; how could he possibly hide it from Huang Fei?"
"That means, if you don't believe me, just ask Huang Fei, and you'll know what's going on."
As everyone was talking, Huang Fei walked in.
As soon as he entered, everyone fell silent and stared at him, leaving Huang Fei completely bewildered.
"A large bottle of iced tea, please," Huang Fei said, taking out seven yuan and placing it on the bar.
Someone asked impatiently at this moment.
"Huang Fei, how much money did Chen Feng make today?"
Upon hearing this, Huang Fei hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I don't know, I didn't notice."
Seeing his obviously lying answer, someone couldn't help but expose him: "Are you still covering for him? He just said himself that he didn't earn a single penny today, and even spent his travel expenses. Is that true?"
Huang Fei was somewhat surprised to hear this: "Did Fengzi really say that himself?"
"Of course, you two arrived right after him," someone added.
After hearing Chen Feng say it himself, Huang Fei finally spoke up, saying, "Hey, Fengzi, you're having a bad day."
"It's all just scraps of wire; the whole day was wasted."
Upon hearing Huang Fei's words, the people in the room instantly erupted in excitement. This time it was definitely true; with Huang Fei as a witness, how could it be false?
Chen Feng is now in the vacuum army.
"Huang Fei, I heard you found some good deals today. That's great!" Lu Dahai said with a smile.
Huang Fei couldn't help but laugh when the topic came up.
"Oh, I guess I was lucky. I found two silver coins and sold them for over sixty yuan. Hahahaha," Huang Fei chuckled, holding his iced tea.
Earning over sixty yuan a day is indeed a lot, and the people inside the house were somewhat envious upon hearing this. What's more, he also had to pay for the transportation, and he didn't have to spend any money to go to the abandoned mine himself, so he earned even more from the trip.
After Huang Fei left with his things, the people inside started discussing it.
