Time flew by, and Sunday arrived quickly. Xu An had promised Xu Kang and Xu Le that he would take them to the amusement park.
The first glimmer of light appeared on the horizon, and the world was still shrouded in darkness.
Oh oh oh—oh oh oh—
The rooster's crow came from afar, waking up the two little rascals who were looking forward to going to the amusement park today.
The two struggled against intense sleepiness, groggily getting up and sitting on the bed, rubbing their eyes with one hand and shoving Xu An with the other.
"Brother, wake up! Brother, wake up! Brother..."
Awakened by the noise of the two, Xu An, still half asleep, reached out and groped around the bedside for a while. He touched a cold and hard object, picked it up, and saw that it was only five o'clock in the morning!
"The amusement park isn't open yet. I'll sleep a little longer. I need to be well-rested so I'll have the energy to play properly, eat delicious food, and have fun rides..."
As he spoke, Xu An stretched out his arms and pulled the two children sitting on the bed into his embrace. He stretched out his long legs and pressed their legs down tightly before falling asleep again.
The two little ones had been forced to stay awake by the rooster's crow, and after trying to push Xu An's arm away a few times without success, they too drifted off to sleep.
She slept soundly until eight o'clock in the morning, without even noticing Xu Heping coming to pick up Grandma Xu to go to the store. She slept so well that she felt refreshed and full of energy!
This is the first time I've slept in this late since I started the boxed lunch business. I really miss it!
After washing up, they changed the two of them into the new clothes that Lin Xuyang had given them.
Xu Le was dressed in a white tulip skirt with green polka dots, along with a matching heart-shaped green crossbody bag, green socks, and white sneakers, making her look cute and adorable.
Xu Kang wore a white t-shirt with a blue bear printed on it, paired with blue wide-leg athletic shorts and white sneakers. He looked dashing and had a bit of a hip-hop vibe from later generations.
Xu An himself was dressed simply in a white t-shirt and loose khaki shorts, with white sneakers on his feet. His buzz cut and dark skin gave him a sporty look.
As soon as they changed their clothes, the two of them urged Xu An to go out.
After checking again to make sure that the tickets, ID card, keys, and wallet were all in order, he took Xu Kang's hand with his left hand and Xu Le's hand with his right hand and went out.
In the short distance from the village to the bus stop, no fewer than ten people asked the three people what they were doing dressed so formally.
Before Xu An could respond, the two little ones blurted out that they wanted to go to the amusement park!
The voices that answered grew louder and louder each time, and the tone and manner of the voices were incredibly smug!
It's 8:30 now. It takes an hour by bus to get there, and we'll arrive at exactly 9:30, which is the amusement park's opening time.
After boarding the train, the two squeezed into the seat next to the bed and chattered away happily while watching the scenery rushing past the window.
Even breakfast was eaten under Xu An's half-coaxing and half-threatening pressure.
Xu An already felt mentally exhausted even though today's itinerary had only just begun.
Happy Paradise was built in 2006 and has been open for six years. As the only relatively large amusement park in Shanghai, it attracts many visitors. The facilities are well-maintained and show no signs of dilapidation.
There were many tourists on Sunday. As soon as they got off the bus, they saw a huge crowd at the entrance. Xu An couldn't help but hold their hands tightly, afraid that they would run away in their excitement.
The rides in the amusement park are quite interesting. For example, next to the giant roller coaster, there's a smaller roller coaster for kids; next to the giant pendulum ride, there's a smaller one; and next to the giant pirate ship…
The reason for this arrangement is that most of the tourists visiting this place are families.
The queues for smaller rides were mostly parents and children, while the queues for larger rides were primarily made up of young people.
The moment they saw the roller coaster, the two little ones' eyes shone brighter than the sun in the sky. One of them turned around, hugged Xu An's leg, and shook it vigorously, shouting that he wanted to ride the roller coaster.
What else can we do but satisfy them?
Although Xu An and his group had VIP passes, they still had to queue, but the VIP queue was much shorter than the outside queue, and they only had to wait about ten minutes to play each attraction.
Seeing all the parents around him taking pictures of their children with cameras, Xu An realized that he was missing a camera.
This is the first time I've brought my two little ones to the amusement park, so it would be a shame not to take some photos.
But it was too late to regret it now, so Xu An could only take out his cheap, no-name phone, which he had bought for 299 yuan, to take photos of the two of them.
Actually, it's not bad...
Well, with only two or three million pixels, Xu An really couldn't say it was "okay," he could only say it was better than nothing.
Just then, someone patted Xu An on the shoulder and said softly, "Hello, I can help you with the filming!"
Xu An turned around and saw a girl wearing a red plaid tulip skirt. She was about 1.7 meters tall, with two cute little pigtails and several long braids hanging down below them. She had fair skin, a pretty face, and two adorable dimples when she smiled. She held a camera in her slender, fair fingers and waved it gently at Xu An.
Are photographers now looking for work at amusement parks? Tickets at these parks cost seventy or eighty yuan; they're really willing to spend a fortune.
How much does it cost for the entire shoot?
The girl's eyes widened slightly, but she quickly recovered, her eyes darting around as she said sweetly, "One hundred and fifty, but one family is coming with you. Is that acceptable?"
