Chapter 63 Help and Share
After Lin Ting came to Pengcheng, Zhou Qing and Wang Shan's activities were no longer limited to Jinxiu Garden, the nursery, the newsstand, and the vegetable market. Their range of activities spans directly from Bao'an District to the entire Shenzhen City.
Lin Ting took advantage of the weekend to visit Pengcheng Wildlife Park and Xianhu Botanical Garden with his wife and granddaughter. The three generations of grandparents and grandchildren gained a lot of knowledge because of this. Wang Shan didn't even want to go to the nursery and just wanted to go out and play with her grandparents every day.
After Lin Ting arrived in Pengcheng, there was a place he always wanted to go to, that is the China World Trade Center, which is known as the "tallest building in China". This is a place that has been praised by great men. It is a window to the special economic zone and a symbol of China's reform and opening up. Ever since Lin Ting saw the China World Trade Center on the "News Broadcast", he has always wanted to see the "Pengcheng speed" of "building a floor every three days".
Since the little shrew Wang Shan knew about her grandfather's wish, she secretly told her mother. That night, Lin Qiu discussed with Wang Xiuren to find time to accompany their parents to visit the China World Trade Center.
Wang Xiuren immediately expressed his willingness to take leave and guard the newsstand for her for a day so that she could also accompany her father-in-law and mother-in-law.
After everything was settled, it was decided that Lin Qiu would accompany his parents to visit the China World Trade Center this Saturday, with his daughter accompanying them.
On that day, Lin Ting, who had heard the news, was so excited that he started humming "Liu Hai Kan Qiao" early in the morning. Zhou Qing sang along with him, and the humming and humming made Wang Shan laugh non-stop.
Lin Qiu had never been there either, but he was fascinated by this world-renowned "China's tallest building."
The weather in May was already hot. Lin Qiu filled the kettle, put it on his back, and led the young and old towards the China World Trade Center.
It is nearly 30 kilometers from Jinxiu Garden to China World Trade Center, and it takes nearly 80 minutes by bus, and you need to change buses in the middle. However, the family's enthusiasm for the China World Trade Center did not diminish in the slightest. Along the way, Lin Ting enthusiastically introduced the relevant information about the China World Trade Center to his family. When he mentioned the old man, the respect in his eyes and mouth was like the flooding of the Yellow River, and he kept talking.
When they arrived at the stop, the family got off the bus one by one without even looking at the road signs and walked directly towards the square tower-shaped building.
As we approached the China World Trade Center, people of three generations, old, middle-aged and young, looked up with their mouths open, staring at the tall building intently. There were many other people in the same posture around. Most of them, like Lin Ting and his group, came to check out this world-famous landmark.
So high!
The building is 53 stories high and 160 meters tall, making it the tallest building in mainland China.
So big!
The building covers an area of 20,000 square meters and has a construction area of 100,000 square meters. It is said that the underground parking lot can accommodate 130 cars.
After all, Lin Qiu had seen many tall buildings in his previous life, so even though he was shocked by the China World Trade Center, he was the first to recover.
"Daddy, Mommy, do you want to take a picture? Let's take a picture together?"
Lin Qiu saw several photography booths around, where he could take a photo for ten yuan.
Wang Shan was wearing a light yellow dress today and a white sun hat on her head. When she heard that she was going to take a photo, she jumped for joy.
Seeing this, Lin Qiu quickly paid the money.
Lin Ting stood in the middle, with Zhou Qing on the left and Lin Qiu on the right.
Wang Shan stood in front of her grandfather, imitating the princess in the cartoons, and took a photo holding her skirt with both hands.
"Good, very good! The little princess is photographed beautifully!" the photographer praised, "Would you like another one?"
"Take another solo photo of Shanshan!" Lin Ting took out ten yuan from his pocket and handed it to the photographer.
"Then Daddy, let's take a photo of you and Mom together!" Lin Qiu took the ten yuan from the photographer and handed him a fifty yuan note.
The photographer grinned happily, "Okay, please move closer to me, I'll take pictures of the International Trade Center for you!"
The photos can be taken right after they are taken. Wang Shan stared at the photographer as he pinched a small corner of the photo and waved it continuously.
When the photo was ready, the photographer puffed out his chest and said proudly: "Look, my technique is the best in this film!"
Lin Qiu took the photo, and four heads immediately came together to appreciate the photo carefully.
After everyone had finished looking at the photos with great interest, Zhou Qing carefully wrapped them in a handkerchief and put them in his jacket pocket.
She wants to take it back home as a souvenir.
After taking the photos, the family walked into the lobby of the building with reverence.
The lobby has been meticulously designed by designers with elegant taste and distinct layers. The green grass and bonsai flowers inside and outside the building set off the building, and the staggered platforms and arched ceilings of the atrium corridors complement the building.
Along with the melodious music, the fountain also danced. The central water column is tens of meters high. Under the light, each water column looks colorful and beautiful.
Lin Ting and his group had never seen such a scene before. Jiujiu stopped by the fountain and was reluctant to leave.
The most famous feature of the China World Trade Center is the revolving restaurant on the 49th floor.
Lin Qiu held his daughter's hand and followed his parents in the sightseeing elevator, first going up to the 42nd floor and then to the 49th floor.
Looking down from the sightseeing elevator, you can see thousands of high-rise buildings standing in all directions in Pengcheng. When it rises to a height of more than 100 meters, the houses below are only about the size of a matchbox. The cars on the street are lined up and driving on the road like ants moving house.
Wang Shan stood on tiptoe and looked outside. "Can you find our house?"
"Your home is over there." Lin Ting pointed her in a direction.
“It would be great if I could see my home!” Wang Shan exclaimed, “Then I could see here from home!”
Lin Ting laughed, "Then your parents will have to work harder!"
"I have to rely on my own efforts! Teacher Huang said that I should do my own things myself." Wang Shan answered firmly.
"You have great ambition!" Lin Ting clapped his hands and praised.
As they were talking, they arrived at the revolving restaurant.
The revolving restaurant is world-famous because it rotates at high altitude, allowing you to see the entire city. Because it is high, you can have a panoramic view of the beautiful scenery of Pengcheng and Gangcheng; because it can be rotated, it is very interesting.
Lin Qiu asked someone in advance and found out that the revolving restaurant had sightseeing seats, so he found the front desk and successfully bought the sightseeing ticket.
The whole family, young and old, couldn't wait to sit in the sightseeing seats, leaning on the glass windows, staring at the scenery outside the window.
The view outside the window of the 360-degree revolving restaurant is indeed beautiful. The restaurant rotates very slowly, making one full circle in about an hour. If you stay there for a longer time, you can hardly feel it. Only when you stand up can you feel the rotation more strongly.
As the ring slowly turned, the family also saw famous attractions such as the reservoir, Wutong Mountain, Sheung Shui, and Luohu Port. Lin Ting touched his chest and sighed: "It's worth the trip!"
"Would you like to order something to eat?" Lin Qiu said with a smile.
Zhou Qing shook his head quickly when he heard that. "No, no! Let's go downstairs and find a place to eat later."
This place doesn’t look cheap at first glance. My daughter has already spent quite a bit of money today, so we should save some money!
Lin Qiu did not answer and looked at his father.
"I'm already satisfied just by coming here. As for eating, just do as your mother says!" Lin Ting also politely declined his daughter's suggestion.
"Okay then! Let's go down first and look around to see if there's anything delicious to eat." Lin Qiu had no choice but to do as he was told.
"Mom, I need to go to the bathroom. I can't hold it any longer!"
Just as she was about to take the elevator down, Wang Shan suddenly stomped her feet and grabbed her mother.
"You stay here with your father and look around. I'll take Shanshan there. I also need to go to the bathroom!" Zhou Qing took Wang Shan's hand and followed the sign to the bathroom.
Lin Qiu stood beside his father and looked into the distance quietly with him.
"Mom, look what this is? I just found it by the wash basin! Grandma said she didn't recognize it!"
Wang Shan shook off the water droplets on her hands and handed a dark green card wallet to Lin Qiu.
Although Lin Qiu did not recognize the English above, he still recognized the words "Advanced Quick-Show Business Card Album" below. She opened the business card album, which was filled to the brim with business cards.
"This thing should be very important. Please wait for me, I will take it to the front desk!" Lin Qiu looked up and said to his parents.
"It's just a few steps away, let's go together!" Lin Ting was worried that his daughter was being slandered.
"Okay, let's go together!"
When he arrived at the front desk and explained his purpose, the waitress registered him enthusiastically. Just as Lin Qiu was about to leave, he was bumped into by a young woman who was sweating profusely.
"Sorry, sorry!" The woman hurriedly stopped and apologized, "Did you bump into anything?"
"It's okay!" Lin Qiu waved his hand, took his daughter's hand, and walked with his parents.
The sightseeing elevator quickly took the family to the first floor. Lin Qiu was planning to take his parents to the pedestrian street outside for a stroll, but Wang Shan forcibly dragged him to watch the musical fountain.
Okay, the musical fountain is pretty nice anyway.
After watching the fountain for nearly ten minutes, Wang Shan was still being naughty and refused to leave, so Lin Qiu was just about to give her a lesson in love.
"Pretty girl! Pretty girl!"
A woman in high heels was running towards Lin Qiu.
Lin Qiu looked back at the smooth floor, then at her thin heels, and was really worried that she would fall.
"Finally found you!"
When the woman came closer, she found that it was the person who had just bumped into someone.
"What's the matter?"
Lin Qiu quietly pulled his daughter behind him, and seeing this, Lin Ting also took his niece's hand.
"Thank you so much! You have no idea you almost saved my life!"
The woman excitedly held Lin Qiu's hand, and Lin Qiu looked at her in confusion.
"The business card album you just picked up is mine. To be more precise, it belongs to our boss. It contains all our boss' important clients. If I had lost it, I would have been fired by my boss! Fortunately, you found it!"
The woman explained the whole story, and the vigilance in Lin Qiu's eyes gradually faded.
"It's okay! As long as the things are not lost!" Lin Qiu pulled his hand out and rubbed it secretly, "But important things still need to be put away carefully!"
"Yes, I will! I have learned my lesson." The woman nodded heavily, "Thank you so much this time!"
"You've already thanked me several times, so there's no need to thank me again!" Lin Qiu waved his hand, "If everything is fine, we'll leave."
"Wait for me!"
The young woman looked around and ran out.
"Should we wait for her?" Zhou Qing looked at his wife.
Lin Ting looked at the direction the woman left and said, "Let's wait."
Not long after, the woman came running over carrying a cream cake, her hair was messy from running back and forth.
"Thank you, sister! You really helped me a lot today. I don't know how to thank you. This cake is for my little sister. Please accept it!"
After saying that, he bowed deeply to Lin Qiu and ran towards the elevator.
"this……"
Zhou Qing stared at the woman running away in amazement, muttering in a low voice: "It's a skill to run like this without falling!"
"Take it, it's a kind gesture from someone else." Lin Ting looked down at Wang Shan, "This is the reward for Shanshan's good deeds. We are all benefiting from Shanshan's kindness today!"
"That's right. Our Shanshan did a good deed today by returning the lost money!" Lin Qiu also praised.
Wang Shan was so happy that her face turned red with smiles.
The weather was hot and cream cakes didn’t last long, so Lin Qiu took the family to a dessert shop and shared the cakes with cold mung bean paste.
In the afternoon, the whole family, young and old, continued to stroll along the pedestrian street near China World Trade Center, unafraid of the sun. They did not buy anything, but just looked through the glass windows at the dazzling array of merchandise inside.
When the sun slowly set in the west, Lin Qiu led the three of them, grandfather and grandson, reluctantly to the bus stop to wait for the bus.
"Mom, flowers! They're so beautiful!"
Wang Shan's eyes were restless, and she looked around, and found a flower stall on the street corner not far from the bus stop.
“Let’s go and have a look!”
Wang Shan shook her mother's hand and acted coquettishly.
"The bus will be here soon, wait for next time!"
If he missed the bus, it would be too late to take the money home, so Lin Qiu refused without hesitation.
Wang Shan could only lower her head and agree aggrievedly: "Okay!"
"for you!"
A big red rose was handed to Wang Shan.
Wang Shan's eyes lit up and she looked up. It turned out that it was a beautiful older sister who handed it to her. She was holding a bouquet in her arms.
"Take it, little sister!" The girl holding the flowers handed it forward again.
Wang Shan looked up at her mother.
"Hurry up and take it. I have more!" The girl put the flowers in Wang Shan's hand, then put her hand on the boy's arm, hugged it, and smiled, "I have a lot of flowers!"
"Hurry up and thank your sister!" Lin Qiu poked her stunned daughter and reminded her.
"Thank you, beautiful sister!"
Wang Shan shouted loudly, and her powerful voice made the girls double over with laughter.
Sitting on the bus, Wang Shan placed roses next to the noses of grandpa, grandma, and mother like offering a treasure, "Do they smell good?"
After everyone answered "fragrant", she put the flower under her nose, closed her eyes, and breathed deeply.
“Oh, it smells so good!”
The innocent and lovely appearance elicited good-natured laughter from people on the bus.
"Shanshan, grandpa wants to ask you, was the cream cake we ate today delicious?" Seeing this, Lin Ting picked up Shanshan and sat her on his lap, and asked in a low voice.
"It smells good!" Wang Shan answered without hesitation, "It's also sweet!"
"Yes! Are the flowers that the elder sister gave you fragrant?" Lin Ting continued to ask.
“It smells so good!”
Wang Shan raised the flower in her hand and put it next to her grandfather's nose.
"Yeah, it smells good!" Lin Ting cooperated and sniffed it. "Shanshan helped others today, so she ate a sweet and fragrant cake. When she came back, someone gave her flowers, so Shanshan smelled the fragrant flowers again, right?"
"right!"
"So next time you pick up someone else's things, should you return them?"
"want!"
"If Shanshan has a lot of flowers in the future and someone else wants them, will Shanshan share them with them?"
“Give it to the kids too!”
"That's right!" Lin Ting gently touched his granddaughter's soft hair, "We must learn to help and share!"
"Yes! Help and share!" Although Wang Shan didn't understand, she wrote down these two words.
