Chapter 367 Sorry, Your Innocence Has Grown Up
In the Xugang Garden community not far from the Almighty Manor stop, it was already three o'clock in the morning, and Xiao Chen just walked back from his son's room.
"Finally asleep?"
"Sleeping." Xiao Chen sighed, "This kid is so stubborn, who did he learn from him?"
During the day, Xiao Chen was finally cruel and did not let his son go to Hushan again. Instead, he dragged his son away. For this, his son cried all the way and has been grinding until now. After all, he finally coaxed him to sleep.
"How did you agree to him?"
"How else can I agree? I'll take him to the zoo tomorrow..." Xiao Chen sighed.
"Are you really going?"
"I only said I would take him to the zoo, but I didn't say where I would take him. Let's go to Wufeng tomorrow." Xiao Chen said.
After all, my son's classmates did not visit the zoo on Saturday, but Wufeng Wildlife Park also compensated them by offering free admission to the park the next day. The parents of the classmates simply made an appointment in the group to go another day.
Children are forgetful. I guess I went to the zoo the next day and saw my classmates. I was so happy that I forgot about that hook...
Xiao Chen fantasized so naively.
The husband rolled his eyes, the mother and son were really deceitful.
"Is this okay?"
"Otherwise, what else can we do? Anyway, I will never take Xiao Ming to such a dangerous place!"
"Are you really going to do this?" The way her husband looked at her made her feel a little uncomfortable, as if he was some heinous villain.
"This is for my son's safety!" Xiao Chen tried his best to convince himself.
"It's up to you..." The husband sighed and turned over to sleep.
It's almost midnight. Even if tomorrow is a weekend, I can get up late, but if I want to go to the zoo, I have to go out before eight o'clock, otherwise the road will be jammed.
"Wait, don't sleep yet..." Xiao Chen grabbed her husband, "Is the land contracted by our mother okay..."
Tonight, my mother-in-law went out for a walk again. When she came back, she was so happy that she couldn't help but bring back a lot of various vegetables, such as beans, radishes, and cabbage. It was probably enough for the family to eat for a week.
Those vegetables are all very big and fresh, and they look very appetizing.
Even my son, who never likes to eat vegetables, actually clamored to eat them.
"Early tomorrow morning, grandma will buy meat and make fried beans and fried meat for my baby Xiao Ming." The mother-in-law said cheerfully. Xiao Chen looked a little puzzled. In the supermarket, the so-called organic vegetables that were far inferior to this kind of vegetables were all priced at sky-high prices. Xiao Chen always walked around without even looking at them.
When I asked my mother-in-law where these vegetables came from, she actually said that she grew them herself.
Not to mention that Xiao Chen looked down on his mother-in-law, how could her mother-in-law grow such good vegetables with her three-legged cat-like vegetable gardening skills?
Moreover, the farmland was just contracted yesterday and the vegetables are grown today?
Could this be some new form of scam?
Could it be that someone is using this organic vegetable as a cover to attract the elderly to spend money?
"Don't worry, I've read the contract agreement they signed and there's nothing wrong with it. I'll take it to our company tomorrow and ask the legal department to take a look at it." The husband reassured Xiao Chen, "Our mother is not a fool and will not be fooled so easily. .”
Xiao Chen is worried. As his son grows up, the family's expenses increase. Recently, he and his husband are considering whether to have a second child, and the financial pressure that will follow will only become greater.
If the mother-in-law is fooled again and is defrauded of money, she will be in trouble.
"Anyway, please pay more attention to our mother recently. Don't they say that scammers take advantage of the emotional emptiness of the elderly, so they take advantage of it and defraud the elderly out of their money?"
"I see that our mother has had a very fulfilling life recently. You should pay more attention to your son." The husband turned over and started snoring soon.
The next morning, Xiao Chen got up. Her mother-in-law was already cooking. When she saw the meat her mother-in-law bought on the table, she glanced at the label and her eyes widened: "Why is meat so expensive again?"
"I don't know. This morning the butcher said that all the meat in the entire Xu City was several dollars more expensive. It's really weird... I managed to get just this little bit of meat," said the mother-in-law.
A certain village owner was sleeping with his head covered, completely unaware that due to his willfulness, the entire Xu City's meat supply was in short supply.
Xiao Chen sighed, what a life he was having, he couldn't even afford meat...
Why don't you tell your son today that you won't go to the zoo? A ticket to Wufeng Wildlife Park is quite expensive...
Xiao Chen's wishful thinking failed after all. With his son crying, making trouble and hanging himself, the family went straight to the zoo after eating. Until we got off the bus, my son, a little fool, didn't realize that he was in the wrong place and asked his husband to buy tickets. The son happily dragged the whole family and shouted: "Gogou! Gogou, I'm coming!"
He ran wildly towards the zoo.
…
Wufeng Wildlife Park was a sea of people, with countless animal activists shouting in unison in the square.
However, they leaked their whereabouts before coming this time. Fatty Pang had already been prepared. He not only sent a large number of security guards to maintain order, but also invited police reinforcements. A large number of special police officers were at the scene. The animal rights activists were a bit dumbfounded. In addition to shouting slogans Apart from that, there seems to be nothing that can be done.
They called out to them, but tourists still lined up to enter the park, and the two sides were on the same page.
Animal rights activists are sad, you can never wake up people who pretend to be asleep!
Fatty Pang stood at the entrance of the zoo, with several fences beside him, and in the fences were several tiger cubs.
Several breeders and animal trainers looked on as if they were in danger.
Tiger cubs are also tigers and have claws.
Fatty Pang thought it was a good idea for the Almighty Zoo to allow visitors to feed baby tigers. He searched the tiger house and finally found a few baby tigers that had not yet been weaned. At the risk of being bitten to death by the mother tiger, he took the baby tigers from their mothers. The tiger was taken away and brought to the entrance of the park as a cover to attract customers.
When Xiao Ming saw these little tigers, his eyes widened and he ran over: "Gou Gou! Gou Gou!"
"Kid, this is not a dog, this is a little tiger. Do you want to feed the little tiger? There is a queue to buy milk over there..." Fatty Pang suddenly became proud when he saw how attractive the little tiger was.
Xiao Ming didn't care, he lay on the fence and looked inside desperately.
"That's right, Xiao Ming, look, Gou Gou is here." Seeing the little milk tiger here, Xiao Chen became happy and wanted to get over it now, and then asked Fatty Pang next to him: "Can I still feed the little milk tiger? "
Then he glanced at the price next to him, and his eyes nearly popped out: "A small bottle of milk sells for 350, is it so expensive?"
A small bottle of milk, not much more than one finger, I probably drank it all in two gulps, but it costs 350?
Fatty Pang didn't say anything. He curled his lips and pointed at the men and women lining up. The meaning was very clear. If you don't have money, just watch and don't talk nonsense.
Everyone around looked at Xiao Chen, and their gazes made Xiao Chen feel a little uncomfortable.
"This... is really too expensive..." A monthly salary is only a few thousand yuan, a small bottle of milk is 350, and I spent several hundred on tickets today...
Xiao Chen regrets it.
But seeing his son lying on the fence, Xiao Chen felt sad again.
Just when she was about to grit her teeth and buy a small bottle of milk, her son turned around.
"Mom, there's no Gou Gou in there..." Xiao Ming lay on the railing and looked for a long time, but couldn't find Gou Gou.
Xiao Chen looked confused. There were so many tiger cubs, all looking similar. How did his son know that there was no Gou Gou?
She pointed to a small white tiger that was about the same size as Gou Gou and said, "Son, look, that's Gou Gou!"
"That's not true. My hook is much prettier than it is!" said the son.
Then my son looked around belatedly and slowly felt that something was wrong.
"This is not the zoo I went to yesterday... Mom, you lied to me... Gou Gou, I want Gou Gou..." The son who realized it later burst into tears outside the fence.
"Son, be good. Look, mommy bought you milk. How about we go feed the little tiger?" Seeing his son crying, Xiao Chen didn't care about his status anymore. He quickly bought a bottle of milk and handed it to his son, "Let's feed it." Little Tiger……"
With a "pop" sound, Xiao Ming slapped the bottle away, and the milk in the bottle spilled all over the floor.
This is three hundred and fifty bottles of super expensive milk!
At that moment, Xiao Chen wanted to lick the milk off the floor.
"We won't take back the milk you spilled!" Fatty Pang said quickly from the side.
Xiao Chen was so angry that he wanted to go up and give him a few slaps, but he still held back and vented all his anger on his son.
"How could you do this!" Looking at his crying son, Xiao Chen raised his palm and was about to hit him.
Before the slap could go down, Xiao Chen's hand was grabbed.
"What are you doing? This child is such a waste, such expensive milk..." Xiao Chen glared at his husband who grabbed him, and used the same tone as when he was tutoring his son in the evening.
"How could you do this!" The husband glared at her: "Who do you think your son is! I asked you last night. You said you were sure you wanted to do this. You said you were doing it for your son's safety, so I asked You, whose fault is all this? Your son wants to hook up, is this a hookup? Do you think your son is a fool? You are always like this, every time!"
The husband glared at him angrily, then grabbed his son's hand: "Let's go, son, let's go find Gou Gou!"
Xiao Chen stared blankly at the backs of her husband and son, feeling a million grievances in her heart. Tears kept rolling in her eyes. If this was not in public, she might have started crying.
I do it all for my son's good, I do it all for my son, I really do it for my son...
Why don't you understand me...
"What are you looking at!" Xiao Chen held back his tears, roared angrily, kicked the bottle away, turned around and ran away, "What a broken place, there is no hook, how dare you sell milk at such an expensive price, it's garbage Wufeng Zoo, sooner or later Closing down! Mom sells batches! I’m going to the Almighty Zoo!”
A group of people were stunned. Who is Gou Gou?
Then someone next to me suddenly said: "It seems that the Almighty Zoo can also feed the tiger cubs today."
"I looked at pictures online and there are dozens of them!"
"It's so expensive to feed a tiger here..."
"I checked how much the omnipotent zoo costs from the Internet..."
Hearing these tourists talking about each other, and some even turned around and left, Fatty Pang was so angry that he said, "Mom, you are here to cause trouble, aren't you?"
Get out of here, all the poor devils!
What a piece of shit!
…
Xiao Ming was really angry and ignored Xiao Chen all the way.
Xiao Chen gradually felt that she was really wrong. She was worried about her son's safety and did not want her son to come into contact with Gou Gou, but the method she used was completely wrong.
I want to use deception to make my son forget Gou Gou. How can I do this?
Did she really think that her son was a fool, as her husband said?
My son is innocent, but not stupid. Why would I regard innocence as a fool?
Xiao Chen began to reflect on himself.
When she arrived at the Almighty Zoo, she ignored her heartache and ran to buy a ticket and took her son to the queue, hoping to repair her relationship with her son.
It's a pity that her son has been unwilling to pay attention to her. He tightly grabbed the hands of grandma and father and refused to look at her.
Xiao Chen felt uncomfortable. Maybe if he couldn't let his son see Gou Gou today, the cold war between mother and son would continue.
Hushan entered the venue very quickly, but there were so many people that they queued for nearly an hour.
In the team, his son kept looking forward expectantly, as if he couldn't wait to see Gou Gou.
Seeing his son's expectant look, Xiao Chen felt that what he did before was extremely wrong.
Why am I so stupid as to hope that my son will forget about Gou Gou? Shouldn't I protect my son's innocence and enthusiasm with all my strength?
After finally finding his way into the queue, Xiao Chen quickly stepped forward, grabbed the staff member and asked, "Is Gou Gou in there?"
"Gou Gou?" The staff member was stunned.
"That's the little tiger we had when we came yesterday." Xiao Chen quickly took out his cell phone and showed the staff a photo of his son and Gou Gou. "My son has been thinking about Gou Gou all night, and he came here specifically to see him today. Googou!”
"Uh, ma'am, I'm sorry, our tour items can't guarantee which tiger it is..." the staff said helplessly. There were many little tigers walking according to the process, but they may not encounter Gou Gou.
"And, yesterday's tiger..." The staff hesitated to speak.
"Please, my son no longer wants to pay attention to me, please help me..." Xiao Chen begged repeatedly.
"I'm really sorry, this doesn't conform to our work process." The staff was helpless.
"Please do me a favor. Look at the innocent look in my son's eyes. Can you bear to let a child down?"
Xiao Chen begged for a long time, but the staff just shook their heads. She was really desperate. At this moment, she saw her mother-in-law take a step forward.
"This little brother, actually we are colleagues, and I am also from our manor." The mother-in-law took out a card from her pocket and showed it to the staff member, "Please, little brother, please do your best to help..."
"Uh... Actually, it's not that I don't want to help..." The staff saw the mother-in-law's ID card and smiled bitterly: "Actually... well, your Gou Gou... it has grown up."
"Huh?" The family stared.
The staff scratched their heads, spoke a few words into the intercom, waved their hands, and said, "Follow me."
After bypassing half of Hushan, the staff pointed forward: "Look, that's Gou Gou."
As if hearing the staff's voice, an adult tiger in front slowly turned its head.
On the inner side of the eyes, the markings are like hooks.
"Even if you don't want to help, you don't have to do this!" Xiao Chen was angry. It's only been a day, how could Gou Gou grow so big!
The staff used an adult tiger to prevaricate her. Did she want to say to her son, I'm sorry, son, your little friend Gou Gou has grown up.
But at that moment, the son's eyes suddenly lit up and he shouted: "Gou Gou! It's Gou Gou!"
He rushed out cheering.
"Son, it's dangerous!" Xiao Chen wanted to catch his son, but failed.
Then he saw his son and the tiger hugging each other, jumping up and down.
The tiger stuck out his tongue and wanted to lick his son's face, but then he took it back. With his eyes lowered, he gently rubbed his son's head.
That look was vaguely familiar, and seemed to be the look he had when little tiger Gou Gou and his son first met.
Xiao Chen's family was petrified.
How can this be?
Really... is it Gou Gou?
But for some reason, Xiao Chen felt particularly moved.
"Mom, mom, look, my little tiger Gogou has grown up and turned into a big, majestic tiger! Mom, look, look!" The son's scream of surprise was as loud as a whistle. .
She turned to look at her husband, and the two subconsciously held each other's hands. Seeing the interaction between her son and a huge tiger in front of her, Xiao Chen felt her eyes well up for some reason.
When he reached out and touched it, his eyes were wet with tears.
At that moment, Xiao Chen felt.
Although we have grown up, perhaps deep in our hearts, there is still a self that has not grown up...
Will never grow up.
This chapter is very long... Well, actually I don't know what I want to express.
