A large group of people headed toward the beach near the villa.
Beside the beach, there were a few open-air bars and some snack stands. These establishments were all officially licensed, so their prices were very high.
After a leisurely stroll, they arrived at the bar area. The babies were all tired out, but after sitting in their strollers and drinking some freshly squeezed orange juice from Lin Feng, their spirits recovered.
In the summer, the sight of an ice-cold drink was an irresistible temptation.
Lin Dashan spotted the colorful drinks and cocktails, nudging Zhou Cuilan. "Do you want to try one? They look good, and I see a lot of people buying them."
Zhou Cuilan whispered, "Everything here is very expensive. I just saw someone scan a QR code and spend over three hundred for just one drink."
Lin Dashan, however, found that acceptable. "What's the big deal? Good liquor is expensive, and it's normal in a tourist area."
Zhou Cuilan picked up her own water bottle. "You go ahead and get one. I brought my own water."
Lin Dashan thought for a moment. "I'll go take a look."
He was back in less than five seconds.
Zhou Cuilan looked at him in surprise. "That was fast?"
Lin Dashan's face was full of disbelief as he whispered to Zhou Cuilan, "I checked their price list…"
"Do you know how much they charge for a bottle of ice-cold mineral water?"
"How much?"
Seeing the look on Lin Dashan's face, it certainly wasn't cheap.
"Thirty-five."
Zhou Cuilan was shocked. "That expensive? I thought it would be ten at most."
"It's water that costs two in the supermarket, and they're selling it for more than ten times the price here! And the orange juice! Isn't it five or six at the supermarket? Do you know how much they charge here?"
"How much?"
"Seventy-nine!"
Zhou Cuilan's eyes widened. "So expensive! Do they think money grows on trees?"
Lin Dashan felt it was still understandable. "Since everyone decided to come out and have fun, they must have been prepared to spend money. Besides, when you're thirsty, you have to buy something, no matter how expensive it is."
Zhou Cuilan pursed her lips. "Well, I'm not buying anything. Drinking my herbal tea is perfectly fine."
Meanwhile, Lin Feng and Zhang Yuxi had finished feeding the babies.
He asked, "Honey, what do you want to drink?"
Zhang Yuxi, wiping the babies' mouths, replied, "I'll like anything you buy for me."
Lin Feng asked his parents what they wanted to drink.
Lin Dashan seemed a bit tempted.
Zhou Cuilan said, "I don't want anything. You young people go ahead."
Lin Feng walked over to the bartender. "What kind of drinks would you recommend for ladies?"
"We have three best-sellers here, all with great feedback."
Lin Feng glanced at the price list, but he was mentally prepared. "I'll have these two," he said.
"Alright, please wait a moment," the bartender responded.
"What about for men?"
"A non-alcoholic drink, something straight, or a cocktail?"
Lin Feng thought about it. "One straight liquor, and one cocktail."
"It's for the gentleman over there, right? In that case, we recommend this..."
Lin Feng gestured for his family to come over to the seating area. It was an open-air bar with outdoor seating, including regular chairs and loungers. After they found a table, Zhou Cuilan thought for a moment and called Lin Jie to ask where he was.
"Mom, we're on the rides with everyone!" Lin Jie exclaimed. "Can't talk now, gotta go!"
Not far from Sanya, a new water amusement park had recently opened.
Lin Feng smiled. "We'll go take a look later." He had checked online; the water park was very large and highly praised by visitors.
The server brought over a small plate of snacks and a table number. The snacks were tiny, only eight pieces in total, which was just enough for two each. They tasted quite good.
In five minutes, Lin Feng's order arrived.
The brightly colored drinks were for Zhang Yuxi and Zhou Cuilan. The one with liquor and ice cubes, needless to say, was for Lin Dashan. And the last one was his own.
Just as Zhou Cuilan was about to say something, Lin Dashan tugged at her sleeve under the table. This was their son's thoughtful gesture. Now that he's already bought them, what would he think if she complained about the price?
It didn't take long for Zhou Cuilan to be won over. "Wow, this is good! This sweet and sour one is delicious!"
Zhang Yuxi added, "Mine is great, too. If you savor it, you can taste several different flavors."
Lin Feng tried his own. Hmm, this tastes pretty good. Maybe it's because I haven't had a soft drink or alcohol in so long. When was the last time? The babies' half-year celebration? No, I don't think so... I can't remember.
Lin Dashan took a small sip and savored the aftertaste. "Delicious!"
With half a glass of liquor, he could enjoy it slowly.
The bar also had snacks, and Lin Feng bought some, which made the babies crave them like crazy.
A look at the time showed it was almost noon. It seemed unlikely that Lin Jie and the others were coming back anytime soon, and it would be tiring to walk all the way back just to cook.
"Let's just eat out!" Lin Feng suggested. "I read online that there's an open-air seafood place with great reviews."
When you're on vacation, isn't it all about eating, drinking, and having fun anyway?
Everyone agreed to go take a look.
Lin Dashan smacked his lips. That liquor really is good, and it doesn't go to your head. I'd love another glass... but that's just a thought. I'll secretly buy some for myself to drink later.
Lin Feng, focused entirely on the babies, didn't notice what was on his parents' minds at all.
Following the GPS, Lin Feng arrived at an open-air restaurant. It was crowded, as everyone was waiting for lunch at this hour. On top of that, it was a popular spot for online influencers to "check in."
"Let's wait a little while," Zhang Yuxi suggested. "If we can't get a table, we can just find another place to eat."
After waiting for about five minutes, several tables of people left all at once. Probably a tour group.
Lin Feng and the others asked the owner to push two tables together, since Lin Jie and his friends would be joining them shortly.
A waiter came over with a menu, and Lin Feng handed it to Lin Dashan and Zhou Cuilan. The prices aren't too bad, they're acceptable, Zhou Cuilan thought as she glanced at it. No wonder the place is so popular.
Lin Dashan ordered two dishes, while Lin Feng and Zhang Yuxi decided on one together.
At that moment, Lin Feng took out the seafood porridge he had cooked that morning from his bag and began feeding the babies. He had also brought homemade cookies and small cakes. This should ensure the babies don't get hungry before they head back.
Once they had their fill, the babies sat in their strollers playing with their toys. Their curious eyes darted all around, and whenever they made eye contact with other patrons, they were met with kind smiles.
The four adorable babies drew attention wherever they went. Lin Feng and his group had grown accustomed to this.
In less than two minutes, Lin Jie, Chen Miaomiao, and the others arrived.
"Where did you guys go?"
Lin Jie gestured excitedly. "Mom, there's a water park nearby, it's a blast! I'll take you there later."
Meng Liang added, "Exactly! There are so many fun rides and activities inside, you'll definitely like it."
Zhou Cuilan said with a smile, "These old bones of mine are just happy to watch. I can't keep up with you young people when it comes to playing."
Lin Jie took out some toys shaped like starfish and conch shells from his backpack. "Here, babies, do you like them?"
He had spotted them in a boutique store they passed and, thinking the babies would like them, bought them on the spot. They were made of plastic, so they were unbreakable and could even light up. There was a switch that also made them sing.
The babies were overjoyed as they held the toys. Zhang Yuxi reminded them, "Remember to say thank you, okay?"
"Tenk... oo..."
"Fank you!"
The babies obediently said their thanks, which made Zhang Yuxi feel very gratified. My babies are getting more and more wonderful every day!
