Chapter 106: A Cheap Trip (3)

A cheap trip (novel) Zhang Baotong 2016.4.28

Back at the hotel, the food in the restaurant was already cold. However, everyone was already hungry, and they didn't care about that, so they snatched up the food like a hungry wolf. My wife and I started early this time and grabbed a bowl of rice and some vegetables. Because my wife and I don't have a lot of food, a small bowl is enough. After eating, I went back to my room to rest. We haven't taken a shower in a few days and just want to take a shower. However, there is still no hot water. I'll just ask the floor attendant. The waiter said that the boiler had not been repaired. I asked impatiently, how long would it take to fix it? In two days we would be gone. The waiter said irrationally, I don't know, you go and ask the manager. I didn't ask the manager, and it doesn't matter if you just ask the manager, because the boiler may never be repaired. So, we didn't take a bath.

At night, as soon as I slept for a while, my wife began to have diarrhea. My wife's colon had surgery before, leaving a very strict after-treatment syndrome, as long as I got cold, I had diarrhea as soon as I ate something that was not suitable. At first, my wife took a few tablets of berberine, but it didn't work, so she continued to pull. I couldn't help it, so I hurriedly asked the waiter where the hospital was. The waiter said there was a medical clinic nearby. We went to the infirmary, but they didn't work at night, so we couldn't help it. I just stopped a taxi at the corner and had the driver take us straight to the hospital.

In the emergency room of the hospital, the doctor diagnosed it as acute enteritis and began to give his wife an intravenous drip. I just sat on the edge of the hospital bed and dozed off. Because I can't do it well, I feel that I can't hold on when I'm tired a little bit or go to bed a little later. So, my wife asked me to lie on the edge of the bed and sleep for a while. She looked at the potion in the hanging bottle herself. It wasn't until three o'clock in the morning that the three hanging bottles were finished, and the wife got better. Originally, the doctor asked his wife to come back tomorrow morning to continue to make hanging bottles. We told the doctor that we were here for a tourist. As soon as the doctor heard this, he prescribed a lot of medicine to his wife.

The next morning, my wife read the medical bill for last night's medical treatment, and it cost more than 800 yuan in total. The wife said bitterly that she would never travel again, and she would spend money and suffer again. I told her that when I travel in the future, I should stop thinking about saving money. Because travel itself is not about saving money. There is an old saying that the poor are rich and the poor are rich, which means that you can save everything at home, but you can't think about saving money outside. Because if you want to spend less, you will suffer more. Therefore, when you go out to travel, you should try to make yourself comfortable and have fun, and don't make yourself inconvenient to eat and live and be in a bad mood in order to save that few dollars.

As he was talking, Lao Mu came into our room and said to me, the tour guide said that he was going to Qixingyan this morning, and then he was going to the giant tycoon gold store. At that time, we all have to help the tour guide shout a few words, so that everyone can buy some gold, so that the tour guide is in a good mood, and take us to Yangshuo by yacht in the afternoon, otherwise, the tour guide is not happy, so we will go to the gold shop, and waste most of our time. I said okay.

Sure enough, as soon as I got on the bus after breakfast, the tour guide said to everyone, let's go to Qixingyan this morning, and then go to the giant tycoon gold store. Because you don't buy anything, the driver and I won't get a commission. You know that the driver and I have no salary, and we have to rely on the commission from the store. If everyone can buy something today, let's take a yacht to Yangshuo after lunch at noon. If you don't buy anything, then don't blame me for wasting everyone's time.

Lao Mu also said to everyone, the tour guide told us everything. Because we paid less for this tour, we didn't arrange a tour guide, but if we don't have a tour guide, then what are we visiting here? It's not the same as wandering around on the streets of Xi'an. We hired a tour guide, so we can't let people lose money, so when I went to the giant tycoon gold store today, I first took the lead in buying at least a few thousand yuan of things, and everyone also had to buy a few hundred yuan of things each. Gold not only looks good and noble when worn, but also increases in value. Therefore, you should not think that you will suffer a loss if you buy gold, in fact, it is better to buy gold goods than to put money in the bank. As he spoke, Lao Mu said to me, Lao Xie is the leader of the unit, with culture and level, can you also say a few words?

I got up from my chair and said that Master Mu had all the words to talk about this, and I won't say anything superfluous, I will make a statement to everyone, I will buy at least 1,000 yuan of things. I think the giant tycoon gold store is a big gold store in Guilin City, and it has a high reputation, and there will be no fakes. Lao Mu immediately added that not only is there no fake, but the price is definitely cheaper than that of Xi'an. If you don't believe it, you'll know it at a glance. Next, two more veteran comrades also made statements. Obviously, it was all arranged by Lao Mu.

When I arrived at the giant tycoon gold store, the gold in the store not only has a wide variety, but the price is indeed cheaper than that of Xi'an. I don't know much about these things, but my wife seems to do. She saw that Lao Mu not only bought herself a big ring of 8,000 yuan, but also bought a necklace of 8,000 yuan for his wife, so she was a little breathless, and immediately wanted to buy herself a necklace of 3,000 yuan, because she had not bought herself a decent gold object since she got married. I thought that my wife should save money for the rest of her life, and she should buy some valuables for herself, so I used my UnionPay card to pay her.

However, my wife took a fancy to a pair of rings and said to me that the gold here was very cheap, and that it would be better to buy the ring that my son would use for his girlfriend's marriage. Because I didn't understand, I listened to my wife say this, so I agreed. Anyway, if you want to buy something, you can buy it now, and you won't have to buy it later. So, I paid my wife another 5,000 yuan. Later, my wife said that she wanted to buy me a ring, and I immediately asked her to stop it, saying okay, I only planned to spend a few hundred yuan here, but you have already spent more than 8,000 yuan. When my wife saw that I was stopping her, she didn't say anything else she wanted to buy.

Because the tour guide and Lao Mu have done the work for everyone in advance, everyone has their own gains, and even the most button-down Lao Wang spent 150 yuan to buy a very thin necklace with low gold content for his little granddaughter. The tour guide was very happy, confiscated us a penny, and pulled us to the ancient village of the Dong people not far from Guilin in the afternoon. The ancient village of Dong Township is a very quaint village, but it still retains some traces of the traditional traditions of the Dong people in the past. We wandered around the village for an afternoon and also bought some silverware.
