Chapter 419: The weather wasn’t on their side
This consumption was generally the level that the working class was reluctant to spend. But for this group of people, it was still affordable.
Zhou Qing Bai was very satisfied.
He decided to bring his wife over. After all, this was a pure natural hot spring. Simply wonderful.
There were also hotels where they can stay. If it was getting late, they can also stay here. There were restaurants around too.
“This…this is…to develop the tour…tourism?” Even Su Da Lin couldn’t help asking.
“Definitely tourism development. I estimate that business will be booming in the future. Other already stole the march on it.” Wang Yuan said with some regret.
This hot spring was contracted to three big families. Although their Wang family had some influence, they couldn’t get hold of it.
Su Da Lin nodded. He also felt that this place was particularly good. The only downside was that it was too far away.
Of course, it was also because of the ice and snow. The train didn’t drive fast. So it took three hours. Normally, it was about two hours.
To say it was far, it wasn’t.
It was easy to get hungry after soaking in the hot springs, so they headed to the restaurant for a meal. Only then they went back home.
The car was driven by Zhou Qing Bai on the way back.
“I didn’t know that you can drive, Fourth Uncle.” Wang Yuan smiled.
“Your fourth aunt can too.” Zhou Qing Bai raised his eyebrows.
This time not only Wang Yuan was surprised, but even old Wang, Father Zhou, and Su Da Lin were surprised.
“Your wife can drive this kind of vehicle?” Old Wang asked.
“Learnt it in the south. Just missing a driving test.” Zhou Qing Bai answered calmly.
“Awe… awesome!” Su Da Lin couldn’t help but said.
This wasn’t a bicycle. It was a car. He didn’t expect Fourth Sister-in-law to know how to drive. Simply too capable.
However, strong woman Lin Qing He always gave this impression. So everyone was surprised for a short while and then calmed down.
“This car is thirty-six thousand. When you save enough, buy one. I will introduce someone to you, Fourth Uncle. It will be much cheaper.” Wang Yuan smiled.
He bought this car himself. He also bought a property near Father Zhou and Mother Zhou. It was very spacious. He belonged to the category who had a house and a car. He earned it by himself. ot relying on his family at all.
“We’ll see in the future.” Zhou Qing Bai nodded.
This car was more expensive than a truck. After all, it was much more upscale than a truck. Still, they got a truck. So would it be far for the family to get a car?
In this matter, Zhou Qing Bai was still very confident.
At the end of last year, the annual income was summarized. The annual income reached more than 38,000 yuan. This didn’t include the reselling in summer vacation.
Today, he didn’t open the shop. He just went over to Father Zhou and Mother Zhou’s place to eat.
At the same time, Lin Qing He and others were also in good spirits on the train.
“This is the first time I have come out by myself. What’s more, to such a far place.” Mother Weng played the card in her hand and said with a smile.
“It’s nice to come out and explore more,” Lin Qing He called out passed and jollily responded.
Zhou Gui Lai continued, while Gang Zi passed.
The four were playing cards together. Hu Zi and Er Ni were watching from the side. As for Zhou Xuan, he was reading an English book.
Because of the large number of people, the boringness of this journey hadn’t been felt.
They happily traveled all the way to Ha’er.
It was truly freezing here. They found a decent guest house and checked in. Lin Qing He said, “Fortunately, we came prepared and all armored up. Otherwise, we wouldn’t dare to get off.”
“Yeah. It’s so much colder here than our side.” Mother Weng responded.
They requested two rooms. Lin Qing He, Zhou Er Ni, and Mother Weng shared a room. The four boys squeezed into a double room.
The few of them could take care of others. When Lin Qing He’s side had rested enough, they brought up a takeaway.
“Mom, the receptionist below said that we can’t go. The weather forecast shows that the wind and snow will be too heavy tomorrow and the day after and all the bus going there have stopped.” Zhou Xuan said.
“All stopped?” Lin Qing He was stunned.
“What a coincidence. We just arrived and can’t go.” Mother Weng also uttered.
“Not only the ice city, but also to the hot springs can’t be accessed. All transport had been canceled.” Zhou Xuan threw up his hands.
“Eat first. We’ll go down and ask afterward.” Lin Qing He said to Mother Weng.
“En.” Mother Weng nodded.
After finishing the noodles, they came down to inquire with the receptionist.
“You came from afar to see the ice city? Then you must be truly idle.” The receptionist said: “But there is no way. Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow is said to have blizzards. The rides have been all stopped now. No way to go.”
“What about the hot springs near here?” Lin Qing He asked.
“Can’t go either,” the receptionist answered.
Lin Qing He didn’t believe her. People in some tourist areas would mislead unfamiliar travelers in this way. The reason was that they can’t go to the scenic area for this reason or that. In fact, they actually want people to take their transport.
However, the next morning, Lin Qing He had to believe it even if she didn’t believe it. At this time, the people weren’t so cunning, because the snow on the next day was really heavy.
“I guess this snow will really take two or three days.” Lin Qing He sighed.
“We came to see some snow this time.” Mother Weng was also dumbfounded.
It was a rare chance to come out all the way to see the ice city. No one thought that they wouldn’t be able to go anywhere. They came here to see the snow in a different place and then they have to go back the same way.
It went without saying they can only go back. What else can they do? The transportation at this time wasn’t comparable to the future generations. In the future generations, one can have a good time going back and forth in four or five days.
But right now, just the train alone took a lot of time.
It took about two days to come here. Lin Qing He planned to come and play for three days. The budgeted day was seven because the semester started on the 16th of January.
Whether it was her or Zhou Xuan, they both had to go back to school.
However, if the next two days were blizzards, it would definitely be impossible to have fun. They didn’t go back right away. They waited for a day.
The snow was still heavy the next day.
“Let’s go back tomorrow. This snow is too big.” Mother Weng said.
“Alright. Second, Hu Zi, you two go buy tickets.” Lin Qing He instructed.
It was a rare trip to make, but it was a pity that the weather wasn’t on their side. It was impossible to go anywhere under such heavy snow.
So on the third day, this group of people went back the same way they came.
“Came here for nothing.” Zhou Gui Lai got on the train, laid on his soft sleeper, and sighed.
“It’s not for nothing. The train station in Ha’er got quite some knowledge.” Gang Zi said with a grin.
“Ha’er is pretty good.” Zhou Er Ni nodded.
“We came out to go back here. We haven’t seen anything. It’s really face-losing.” Zhou Gui Lai said.
“You’re afraid of losing face? Your face is thicker than the city wall.” Zhou Er Ni retorted in mirth.
“I’m wronged. I’m sad.” Zhou Gui said.
But anyway, the group of people can only go back the same way they came.
