Chapter 382 The First Graduation Trip
On the morning of June 6, Mu Zhengguang arrived at the school gate carrying his schoolbag. He saw Xu had already arrived, also carrying his schoolbag.
In the past day, he thought about many questions, and there was one question that he thought about for a long time, "What does it mean when a girl asks a boy to travel alone?"
Mu Zhengguang didn't have excessive yearning in his heart, because he knew clearly that Xu was not a casual person, and he was not a casual person either, but the meeting at this time still made him a little too excited. When walking side by side with Xu, he held up Xu's schoolbag with his left hand, and then immediately put it down, like a child playing.
"Is your schoolbag so heavy?"
The three heaviest things in Mu Zhengguang's schoolbag are milk, an umbrella and a power bank. Other than that, there is a set of pajamas, a set of outerwear, two towels, a pack of tissues, and some small items, such as keys, chargers, toothpaste, and a toothbrush. These things are not heavy, and the schoolbag containing these things is certainly not heavy either.
He weighed Xu's schoolbag just now and felt that it was as heavy as his. What did she bring that was so heavy?
"There are glasses and a tablet in the bag. Let's take a ride to the station. I'll pay this time, and you'll pay when we come back."
"it is good."
"I have planned the route and I'm sending it to you now. Although it may be very different from what you imagined, I would like you to accommodate me this time, okay?"
"can."
Mu Zhengguang was not very interested in traveling, and even less interested in planning routes. He read the travel guide yesterday and memorized a few place names, including the Yellow Crane Tower, Qingchuan Pavilion, the Museum, the Art Gallery, and the Yangtze River Bridge...
He saw Xu's plan, which clearly stated where he would live, where he would go every day, which places he would need to buy tickets for, how much the tickets would cost, when he would set out and when he would leave, how far it was from one place to another, what kind of transportation he would take, and the first and last bus and subway times.
Mu Zhengguang admired Xu very much. In his plan, there were only place names, nothing more. It was too difficult for him to arrange the place names according to time and distance and come up with a time-saving and labor-saving tour route.
It is a blessing to have a sister like her and to travel with someone like her.
"That's amazing. I didn't even think about arranging the locations based on distance."
"It's not that great. I just copied someone else's strategy. Next time it will be your turn to copy the strategy. I calculated it in detail, and one thousand yuan is not enough. Can you increase your budget a little? Up to twelve hundred."
Tickets to the Yellow Crane Tower and Happy Valley, as well as the cable cars and slides in the East Lake Scenic Area, cost about 300 yuan. Accommodation costs 200 yuan, one room per person, 100 yuan per room per day. Travel expenses 200 yuan, including train tickets, subways, buses, ferries, and taxis. Two breakfasts, three lunches, three dinners, milk tea, and water, all together, may cost 300 yuan.
In this way, the budget of one thousand yuan was gone. However, how could there not be some unplanned consumption during the three-day and two-night trip? For example, when walking on the pedestrian street at night, she suddenly wanted to buy some small gifts, or she was hungry while shopping and wanted to buy some snacks. The former was likely to happen to her, and the latter was likely to happen to Mu Zhengguang.
"It can be improved. I haven't spent all my New Year's money yet."
Since he entered his senior year of high school, Mu Zhengguang's monthly living expenses have increased by one hundred yuan. This hundred yuan is not used to buy books or test papers. The money for buying books is calculated separately and not included in living expenses. Mu Zhengguang will calculate this money clearly, but when his parents give him red envelopes, he is not quite clear about it. Sometimes he rounds it up, sometimes he doubles it, but it's always more anyway.
The extra hundred yuan in living expenses is because the third year of high school has one more evening self-study class than the second year of high school. It is already late at night after the evening self-study class ends, and you may feel hungry and need to buy something to eat.
In fact, even if he didn't have this money, it wouldn't affect Mu Zhengguang from buying cakes, chicken strips, and fried skewers at the snack stand in front of the school after school. His living expenses have always exceeded his daily needs, and he is relatively frugal, so he can always freely buy what he wants within his means.
In the second half of his senior year, he interacted frequently with Xu, but his spending did not increase significantly. He simply bought himself a cup of milk tea during the only physical education class he had each week.
In addition, in the second half of the semester, due to the heavy workload and the increased things to deal with in daily life, Mu Zhengguang stopped playing games, which saved him some money. Loosely speaking, the money he spent on singing and eating a few days ago was saved from playing games.
The money for travel was saved from living expenses, plus the unspent New Year's money, totaling 2300 yuan. He could use this money as he pleased and spend half of it on traveling without any pressure.
The two took a taxi and then a train. On the train, Mu Zhengguang drank half a bottle of milk. After getting off the train, Xu turned on the navigation and headed straight to the hotel he had booked. The hotel was just opposite the train station, and it was just a short walk across the road.
Mu Zhengguang and Xu came to the hotel, got the room card and opened the door of the room.
The two rooms were facing each other. When they first entered the room, the door was open. Mu Zhengguang threw his schoolbag on the bed, picked up the room card and walked across.
After Xu entered the room, she put her schoolbag on the chair and turned on the air conditioner. At this time, Mu Zhengguang had already rushed into her room. Moreover, he jumped to the other side of the room with a more proud attitude and lay back on the bed.
There was only one chair in the room, which was used to place the schoolbag. Xu Ye sat on the bed, very close to him: "Xiao Mu, what are you going to eat for lunch?"
"Ah? Can I still call him that?" Mu Zhengguang said this, but he didn't reject this name. The first time he went on a trip with his classmates, it was with Xu, and the first time he stayed in a hotel with his classmates, it was also with Xu. This was a person who played an important role in his life, and he could accept the names that important people called him, such as Zhengguang, Xiaoguang, Mu Zhengguang's little classmate, Mu Zhengguang's big classmate, younger brother, silly boy, and so on.
"Don't worry about the details. What are you having for lunch? Hot pot, barbecue, or fried chicken?"
From June 6 to June 9, the two had three dinners together, which were hot pot, barbecue, and fried chicken. Today, the location of the dinner has changed, but the type of dinner should not have changed much.
"Okay, Xiao Xu. Shall we have hot pot for lunch?"
"Okay. I'll check for nearby hot pot restaurants. Wait for me."
"it is good."
Mu Zhengguang closed his eyes and waited for Xu's next choice. This choice was a small surprise to him. The detailed plan was also a surprise.
"Found it. Do you want the 68 per person package or the 88 per person package?"
"What's the difference?"
"The difference is that the 88 yuan per person includes one serving of hand-made beef balls and one serving of tofu."
"Then it's 88 per person." Mu Zhengguang was familiar with the words "hand-made beef balls", but when he made this decision, he would taste a kind of food he had never eaten before. For this reason, spending an extra 20 yuan was not too bad.
"We're still going to choose the mushroom soup base this time, right?"
"Correct."
"We are going to Yellow Crane Tower and Qingchuan Pavilion in the afternoon. Do you want to carry your schoolbag?"
"want."
"Pack your schoolbag and take only your valuables. Leave the rest in your room."
"it is good."
Xu sent Mu Zhengguang out of the room, took out his clothes and cups, and hurriedly took a shower.
