Chapter 31: A Day Trip to Daocheng District (Part 1/2)

Soon, the long-distance bus arrived at the Daocheng District Bus Station.

Tang Feng and the others got off the bus one after another.

“Fang Wei, how are you going to the hospital?” Su Xiaoli asked.

“We’ll just take a taxi there. What about you?”

“It seems to be a bit far from the Ocean Polar World here. If we take a taxi, it probably needs dozens of yuan. We’ll see if we can take a bus,” Su Xiaoli responded.

“In that case, let’s split up here. I’ll come to visit you in Binjiang District,” Fang Wei took the initiative to suggest.

“Okay,” Su Xiaoli nodded.

Then, Fang Wei and her father hailed a tricycle and left the place.

“Shall we take a taxi too?” Tang Feng suggested.

“No need,” Su Xiaoli shook her head and said, “Dozens of yuan, it’s not just a few yuan, there’s no need to waste.”

After she finished speaking, she headed straight for the nearest bus stop.

She checked the route map and then waited patiently.

Soon, a bus stopped in front of them.

Su Xiaoli hurriedly signaled Tang Feng to get on.

Su Xiaoli put two red one-yuan bills into the fare box.

Then they sat down.

“Xiaoli, did you notice? We’re on a trolleybus,” Tang Feng looked ahead and asked with a smile.

“Am I hearing things wrong? Aren’t they all fuel vehicles now? Where did the trolleybus come from?” Su Xiaoli’s face was full of puzzled expressions.

“Look at the two antennas on top of the trolleybus,” Tang Feng pointed ahead.

Su Xiaoli looked and quickly understood.

The bus had two antennas on its body, connecting to the tracks in mid-air.

That means such trolleybuses can only move along a fixed route without any deviation.

“Do we have such buses in Binjiang?” Su Xiaoli asked.

“No,” Tang Feng shook his head and said, “They are all fuel vehicles.”

“It feels like these vehicles are more environmentally friendly than fuel vehicles. I wonder why Binjiang doesn’t focus on developing such buses,” Su Xiaoli was very puzzled.

“I’m not very clear about that either. It might have something to do with the cost,” Tang Feng guessed.

Soon, more and more passengers got on the bus.

Tang Feng saw two elderly people coming over with walking sticks.

He quickly stood up to offer his seat.

Seeing this, Su Xiaoli also stood up.

The two elderly people thanked them as they sat down.

Tang Feng and Su Xiaoli exchanged a smile.

It felt good to help others!

Soon, the bus arrived at the terminal station.

Su Xiaoli signaled Tang Feng to get off.

Then they walked for about fifteen minutes and arrived at the ticket office of the Ocean Polar World.

Su Xiaoli was about to pay for the tickets when Tang Feng stopped her.

He waved a hundred-yuan bill in his hand like a nouveau riche.

Tang Feng spent sixty yuan to buy two tickets.

Then he led Su Xiaoli inside.

There were many visitors at the Ocean Polar World.

Everyone was admiring various types of fish.

Su Xiaoli was very excited and extremely happy.

Seeing her happy, Tang Feng felt as sweet as honey in his heart.

He subconsciously reached into his pocket, wanting to take out his phone to take a picture of her.

But he realized that he didn’t even have a pager, let alone a phone.

A bitter smile appeared on his lips.

As time passed, they kept walking forward.

During this time, they watched the mermaid show and the performances of dolphins and sea lions.

There were even many tourists taking photos with the sea lions.

“Do you want to take a photo with the sea lion?” Tang Feng discussed with Su Xiaoli.

Su Xiaoli shook her head and said, “No! A photo costs fifteen yuan! It’s too expensive!”

“Anyway, it’s not easy to come here. Let’s take a photo as a souvenir,” Tang Feng said and walked towards the sea lion’s location.

Seeing this, Su Xiaoli had no choice but to follow.

Soon, they completed their photo with the sea lion.

After Tang Feng paid, a while later, the staff handed them the developed photo.

Besides the photo, there was also a negative.

It could be used to print several more photos later.

Tang Feng looked at the photo of himself and Su Xiaoli, feeling indescribably happy.

At this moment, he was young and handsome, full of vigor.

Su Xiaoli was youthful and beautiful, with a hint of shyness between her brows.

Youth is wonderful!

When they left the Ocean Polar World, it was already half past one in the afternoon.

Maybe because they ate too little, Su Xiaoli’s stomach even began to protest.

She smiled somewhat embarrassedly at Tang Feng.

“What would you like to eat?” Tang Feng asked tenderly.

“Anything is fine,” Su Xiaoli replied.

“I heard there’s a place called Pichai Courtyard in the Daocheng District, and there are quite a lot of delicacies there. Shall we go there for a look?” Tang Feng suggested.

Su Xiaoli checked the time and said, “Let’s not. We still have to go to the beach later. Next time we come, we can talk about the place you mentioned.”

“Okay! Then let’s wait until next spring when the flowers bloom. We can watch the seagulls and visit Pichai Courtyard,” Tang Feng nodded and agreed.

“I see there’s a steamed bun vendor over there. Shall we buy some buns to eat?” Su Xiaoli suggested.

“Sure!” The two walked a few dozen steps to the east and arrived at the entrance of the bun shop.

Perhaps because it was close to the sea, the prices of the buns were not very cheap.

Even the vegetable buns cost one yuan each.

The pork buns were two yuan each.

Tang Feng bought ten meat buns and five vegetable buns in one go.

“Ah! Why did you buy so many! There are only two of us, we definitely can’t finish them,” Su Xiaoli was very surprised.

“If we can’t finish, I’ll take them home and let my parents try,” Tang Feng responded.

“Is there any difference between these buns and the ones we have?” Su Xiaoli was somewhat puzzled.

“These are Daocheng District big buns, very famous. You’ll know once you try,” Tang Feng said as he handed over the plastic bag filled with buns.

Su Xiaoli took one out.

Then she took a bite.

The juice quickly assaulted her taste buds.

It was indeed very delicious.

She ate two in one go.

“Eat slowly,” Tang Feng said as he opened a bottle of Wahaha mineral water and handed it over.

Su Xiaoli took a sip, her face showing a satisfied expression.

Tang Feng didn’t idle either; he ate three buns.

Then he carried the remaining buns in his hand, planning to warm them up and eat them when he got home.

“Are we going to the beach next?” Su Xiaoli asked.
