Chapter 412: Disney Trip
Qiu's mother was originally feeling very upset. After all, she donated such a large sum of money, but they treated her son like this. It was really infuriating. But when she saw her son smile, she didn't want to care about anything anymore.
What she didn't expect was that before going to bed, Qiu's father took out a check from his bag.
Seeing the amount on the check, Qiu's mother asked in surprise, "Where did this money come from?"
Mr. Qiu said simply, "The school refunded it."
Mother Qiu was even more surprised this time. She was not surprised about whether the school was willing to withdraw the student.
But based on her understanding of her husband, he would most likely not ask for something back that he had already donated.
Could it be Si Qiao?
Mother Qiu's guess was absolutely correct; it was indeed Lin Siqiao who asked for the money.
After Uncle Qiu asked for a transfer, Lin Siqiao started to think about it.
In her opinion, Uncle Qiu donated this library so that Xiaoze could go to school smoothly.
Since Ozawa is not well taken care of here, why should the school take this money?
Of course, Lin Siqiao would not say this before getting the transfer procedures, so just think of her as a mean person judging others by her own standards.
Just when Mr. Qiu got the documents and was about to leave, Lin Siqiao said wait a minute, and then asked for the money with a calm face.
The principal was stunned, but he didn't say anything. Instead, the two teachers became angry.
They were indeed not aware that the library was donated by the Qiu family, but how could they ask for something back that had already been donated?
This is not in line with the rules of doing things and being a person in their country!
That’s what they thought and that’s what they said.
When I heard these two people say, "Isn't it true that you Chinese people are always the most trustworthy in keeping your word?"
Lin Siqiao was extremely amused. China does pay attention to these things, but there are also prerequisites for keeping promises.
She glanced at the two teachers and asked, "You two are both old enough to have children. May I ask, if your children are bullied and treated differently by teachers at school, and the teachers still ask you to keep your promise, how would you feel?"
"I don't know what you think, but I just think it's funny. Tell me, how did the other party have the face?"
The two teachers didn’t know whether the other party had the nerve to do so or not, but after hearing these words, they were so agitated that they couldn’t even raise their heads.
But there is no point in saying anything now. Lin Siqiao is discussing things with them properly.
If they are unwilling to return the money, she will have to report to the media about the school teachers openly taking the lead in bullying students.
The principal knew he was in the wrong and was too embarrassed to defend them.
At this time, he had no better choice than to return the check and calm down the farce as soon as possible.
Mr. Qiu did not expect that he could get the money back intact, but today's incident served as a wake-up call for him. He had given in too much in the past, causing the children to suffer a lot of unnecessary grievances.
From now on, you must fight for your rights when it is necessary.
After hearing this, Qiu's mother smiled and nodded, saying that it was not too late to know now.
In the next room, Lin Siqiao was also busy at this time.
The luggage had just been packed and brought over in the morning, so there was nothing to worry about. She was now fiddling with the three cameras in front of her.
The first one was the Seagull camera that she and Lu Jianchuan bought when they were in Beijing. It was OK for taking close-up photos, but the photos that were too far away would be blurry.
The second one is a Polaroid camera I bought in China in the first half of the year. It can’t be called a camera in the strict sense. I can only use it to take selfies occasionally.
Just like now, Lin Siqiao suddenly put his arm around Lu Jianchuan's neck and pulled him into the screen.
With a click, the couple photo of the two of them was taken.
This last SLR camera is the latest model she bought when she came to the country last week.
Compared with domestic SLR cameras, this camera has a lot more functions and is relatively more complicated to operate.
How can you go out and play without taking photos?
Lin Siqiao handed this important task to Lu Jianchuan. Fortunately, he learned things quickly and basically he would understand it after Lin Siqiao explained it once.
As for what Lin Siqiao said about what angle to take the photo from to make the person look better, Lu Jianchuan just listened.
He may not know other things, but how could he not know what his wife looks like?
The photos she took, even if they were blurry, had a unique hazy beauty.
There was one thing he had never told Lin Siqiao.
When Lu Jianchuan went to Shanghai to pick up their wedding photos, the owner of the photo studio pestered him for a long time, asking if he could enlarge a few of them and put them in the window for exhibition.
Nowadays, the photos that can be put in the window display are all carefully selected by the photographer.
Most people would be overjoyed to hear this, but Lu Jianchuan refused without even thinking about it.
The reason is simple: men are indeed a little narrow-minded about certain things.
He himself hasn't seen enough of his Qiao Qiao, so how could he bear to put it in the window for others to admire.
"What are you thinking about?"
Lin Siqiao stretched out his hand and waved it in front of him. "I've been calling you for a long time."
Lu Jianchuan came back to his senses, smiled and shook his head, "It's okay, what did you say just now?"
"I told you to remind me tomorrow morning to buy a few more boxes of film," Lin Siqiao said, "I only brought three rolls this time, so it's definitely not enough."
As he spoke, he opened the suitcase and packed out the clothes that they would wear tomorrow.
Seeing how seriously she took it, Lu Jianchuan was a little surprised.
"Qiao Qiao, is this Disneyland similar to the indoor amusement park in Shanghai?"
"You mean Shanghai World?"
Shanghai World Lu Jianchuan nodded, this Shanghai World is the largest indoor amusement park in Shanghai.
When he was a child, he went there several times with his family. There were many small stages there, where operas and acrobatics were often performed.
But after the big movement, this place was closed to the public. I heard that it was renamed at the beginning of this year and is now called Shanghai Children's Palace.
Lin Siqiao shook his head after hearing this. Both places have their own merits, but the style difference is quite big.
As for the difference, Lin Siqiao kept it a secret. Anyway, you will know when you go there tomorrow.
Then again, she was also curious about what Disney was like in this era.
Maybe everyone was looking forward to this trip, so everyone in the family woke up before 6 o'clock the next morning.
But fortunately they got up early, otherwise there would be a traffic jam until who knows how long.
As was the case in later generations, Disney has never had a shortage of visitors.
After stopping and walking along the way, they finally arrived at their destination at around 9:30 in the morning.
After packing their luggage, several people at the California Disney Hotel went to the nearby Disney Hotel to check in.
This place is far away from the city, and there is only this hotel within a radius of more than ten kilometers. Today is Sunday, so you can imagine the flow of people here.
After waiting in line for nearly an hour, it was finally Lin Siqiao's turn.
The staff apologized after checking the remaining room types.
"I'm sorry, ma'am. All the regular rooms in the hotel are fully booked today. We only have suites left. Can you please arrange this for me?"
At this time, as long as there is a place to stay, it would be fine. Lin Siqiao doesn't want to sleep on the streets in the middle of winter.
"Okay, I want 3 rooms."
As soon as he finished speaking, a woman who looked like a supervisor came over with a walkie-talkie.
", the group guests have arrived at the door. You will be responsible for receiving them later."
"Got it, Manager."
At this time, we saw a large group of people marching into the hotel lobby. The children, wearing uniform school uniforms and led by their teachers, quickly came over.
When Lin Siqiao raised her eyes, she saw several familiar faces.
The two teachers were humiliated in the principal's office yesterday, and the way they looked at Lin Siqiao was clearly emotional.
So when they heard the staff ask them to wait, they simply shook their heads and refused, putting the blame on the children.
They said the children wanted to enter the park early and asked the staff to check them in quickly, otherwise they would complain to her.
I was speechless after hearing this and explained to the other party while suppressing my anger.
"Sorry sir, this lady arrived before you. We will be able to complete the check-in process in five minutes at most. Please wait a moment."
But the two men still refused to give in, and the lobby manager on the side subconsciously looked at Lin Siqiao.
Lin Siqiao crossed his arms, looking like, "Do you think I'm easy to bully?"
The lobby manager was helpless. In order not to offend anyone, she said to the two teachers who led the team.
"Hello, I am the lobby manager here. I will personally handle your check-in procedures for you."
When they heard that the other party was the manager, the two teachers' expressions relaxed a little.
"Okay, I'll leave it to you. By the way, we need to add a few more rooms. Please arrange them on the same floor for us."
"Okay sir, let me tell you, our hotel's regular rooms are full. We only have suites now. The rate for a suite is $60 per night. Is that okay with you?"
"What?"
After hearing the price, several people couldn't help but be shocked. The best hotel in the city was only 20 US dollars a night, but the price here was three times higher.
The same words were said to Lin Siqiao by the side.
"Ma'am, I'll give you a room on the 12th floor, facing the park. Is that okay with you?"
Lin Siqiao nodded again, but just as she was about to pay, Mother Qiu skillfully pulled her aside, and Father Qiu stepped forward and took out his wallet.
"I'll do it. I'll do it."
Qiu Mingze watched his old father's every move and smiled with satisfaction.
Lin Siqiao was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
She didn't argue with Uncle Qiu and Aunt Qiu about the room fee, but Lin Siqiao said that she would buy the tickets later.
Lin Siqiao remembered that Disney hotels in later generations had a service for buying tickets on behalf of others, but she didn’t know if it was still available now?
When he heard that Lin Siqiao wanted to buy tickets, he immediately smiled and said.
"Yes, ma'am."
After that, he gave Lin Siqiao and the others a brief introduction. After listening to it, Lin Siqiao realized that the ticket to Disneyland at this time was just a ticket, and all the items inside needed to be paid for separately.
There are five levels in total, based on the size, cost, and popularity of the project.
In the 1990s, the lowest price for a single-item ticket at Disney was 10 cents for the 2nd and 3rd grade, which cost 65 cents.
If an adult like Lin Siqiao wants to play all the facilities in the park, it will cost at least US$7. If you add the entrance fee, it will be almost US$10.
Of course, if Lin Siqiao buys a combination ticket, the park ticket can be waived.
I thought since I’m here, I might as well have fun.
Lin Siqiao directly paid for 7 packages, and quickly handed over the room key and the packages, as well as seven train tickets.
With this ticket, they can take the monorail between the hotel and the park as many times as they want.
The Disney Monorail is also a hidden benefit for those staying at a Disney hotel.
"Ma'am, the elevator is on your left. Welcome to our Disney Hotel. I hope you have fun here."
Lin Siqiao smiled and said thank you, then asked everyone to go back to their rooms as they would be going into the garden later.
Lin Siqiao has experienced similar theme hotels countless times.
So when she opened the door and saw the room decorated with Mickey patterns, she was no longer surprised.
Lu Jianchuan didn't care where he stayed in the Mickey Theme Suite, but when he saw this room full of childishness, his heart suddenly softened.
I don’t know if their babies will have the opportunity to experience such a life in the future.
He even wondered when China would have such a paradise.
In fact, it is not just a paradise, he expects much more than this.
Lu Jianchuan did not say these words out loud.
But Lin Siqiao could still understand the hope in his eyes tacitly.
At this moment, a burst of giggles came from the next room.
The person who made the sound was six-year-old Qiu Mingxi, the youngest of three children, and what she feared most was mice.
When Mr. and Mrs. Qiu returned to the room and saw Mickey Mouse all over the room, they hurried over.
They thought their daughter would scream when she saw these, but when they came over, they saw her staring at the Mickey Mouse mural on the wall with her eyes smiling into crescents.
Just as Mr. and Mrs. Qiu breathed a sigh of relief, they heard their daughter looking at her brother with a pleading look on her face.
"It turns out that mice look so good when they grow up! Brother, can you help me raise a few? Give them to me when you have grown them up."
"..." After hearing this, Qiu Mingze's mouth twitched, his foot sprained, and he felt numb.
Lin Siqiao was a step behind Mr. and Mrs. Qiu. When she heard this, she couldn't help laughing and almost choked.
In order to get their daughter to give up this dangerous idea, Mr. and Mrs. Qiu spoke quickly.
"It's almost time, why don't we go to that paradise first?"
Qiu Mingze nodded hurriedly and ran faster than a rabbit.
The group went downstairs happily, and just as they got out of the elevator, they ran into the two teachers who led the team.
I don’t know what happened, but the expressions on these two people were extremely ugly.
