Chapter 240: A Chance Encounter

The family turmoil caused by Lin Chen was just a small episode, no one went to their hearts, and after eliminating the conflict, the three of them happily went to the zoo.

Magnolia City Zoo, like other urban zoos, lions, tigers, jackals, tigers, leopards, stupid, flexible, naughty, and beautiful are all the same.

Lin Chen actually doesn't like to visit the zoo very much, it's not that he has a habit of spiritual cleanliness, and he doesn't feel the same way when he looks at the animals in cages. A quote circulating on the Internet is clear: 'Humans have spent thousands of years climbing to the top of the pyramid, and it is really not for vegetarianism.' ’

Humans are the masters of this planet and can decide the right of other species to live, and it is already a rare mercy to lock them up for people to visit, eat and drink and serve. If one day, humans and animals swap identities, maybe he doesn't even have the qualifications to be visited, he simply doesn't like to walk.

The zoo area is very large, Monkey Mountain, Tiger Park, Lion Ridge, Panda Pavilion each animal has an activity area, in order to ensure the vitality of the animal, the area area is not small, and it takes at least ten minutes to turn around.

It takes more than ten minutes for one animal to walk, and it takes at least two or three hours for dozens of animals to look at it.

If you go to the zoo during the National Day, you can see not only the animals, but also the mountains...... People, people, people.

It was as if the whole city had come to the zoo, and the sight was full of black heads, enthusiastic and lively couples, families with groups of children, mixed with the laughter and cries of children, and the animals in the park were probably frightened by this kind of battle.

There are many people around the zoo, and there are more people at the ticket office, and the ticket office, which usually has almost no queues, has four windows open, and Lin Chen still waited in line for five or six minutes to get the ticket.

Getting the ticket was the first step, and looking at the crowd that had already lined up on the road, he couldn't help but wail: 'Don't think about entering the park for ten minutes.' ’

Compared with the depressed Lin Chen, Mother Lin was in a pretty good mood, watching him busy with a smile, standing in line in the crowd with his brothers and sisters, with a happy smile on her face. Especially after entering the park, this pleasure is even stronger.

"Wow, is this a monkey? The ass is indeed red. ”

"The tiger is so big, it's hard to be bitten by it, but the tiger is so thin, can you feed it something?"

"Why didn't the black bear move? ”

"Hey, pandas can really eat, and they've been eating bamboo. ”

The middle-aged man in his forties was as happy as a teenager, and he saw that each animal had an unconcealable excitement, and he sighed to the two siblings while watching.

At this time, Lin Chen or Lin Yun will take the initiative to help explain and solve Lin's mother's questions.

Mother Lin didn't care about the answers of the two, she just expressed her feelings with questions, she was very happy, really happy.

After living for more than 40 years, this is the first time that Lin Mu really came to the zoo to visit, the first time she saw monkeys, tigers, and lions, and it was also the first time to completely throw away the pressure, burden, and worry of life, and face life with a new attitude.

Yes, life is not just the small shop she guards, not only the vegetables, rice, oil and salt, but also the children's tuition and living expenses, but also the brilliant sky, the warm breeze, and the animals of all kinds of manners, which she has never seen before.

Doesn't she have eyes that find beauty? Doesn't she know how to enjoy life?

Of course not, everyone wants to enjoy life, everyone wants to be carefree. But when a person reaches middle age, when she opens her eyes, there are people who need to rely on her as far as she can see, what does she take to be carefree? What does she take to enjoy life?

They drop the chain, which means that the pair of children who depend on them will have no living expenses next month, no tuition fees for the next semester, and the owner of the rented house will drive them out, and the family of four will be homeless.

She has no ability, let alone the right to be carefree, she can only manage the small home, maintaining it from collapsing, for her sake, and for her family.

Well, now, her son is even better than she imagined, and has achieved unprecedented success in a field she has not been exposed to. She was puzzled, proud, and relieved, and that she finally had a sense of security to rely on. From then on, even if she couldn't achieve the goal she wanted, there was still her son who could help her achieve it, and she finally had the right to choose whether it was hard work, or to look at the mountains, the sea, and the zoo.

It was difficult for Lin Chen to understand Mother Lin's mood, the young man's mind was completely different from the middle-aged man's mind. When you are young, you have too much capital, you have family, friends, partners, and at worst, you have a vigorous body, and you don't feel the burden.

What about middle-aged people?

Physical function declines, and the stress imposed by life increases dramatically. To pay off the mortgage, maintain a car, take care of a wife, and raise children, everything is inseparable from the word 'money', they no longer have the right to choose, and they must grit their teeth and persist no matter what happens. As long as he is slightly lazy, the whole family will face a huge change.

Those pressures, responsibilities, boredoms, and grievances have no one to confide in, but can only be buried in the bottom of their hearts. Hold on, a piece of sky, can't hold on? If you can't hold on, you have to hold on. He is no longer a human being, and he has no choice.

Lin Chen is still young and has a system that belongs to him, it is difficult to feel the pressure in life, he is on a correct and successful path, and every day is a motivation.

Even so, the smile on his parents' faces slowly increased, and the confidence gradually revealed in his sister's expression made him full of relief, and his mood couldn't help but brighten.

Four hours later, at dusk, the three of them left the zoo satisfied, dragging their tired bodies home.

Lin Chen originally decided to find a high-end hotel nearby to eat after visiting the zoo, but unfortunately Father Lin was delayed because of something. When I inquired, I learned that Father Lin was already busy and was rushing to the Blue Sky Community.

Considering that it was not appropriate to let Father Lin eat alone, the three of them took a taxi home and took Father Lin out to eat again.

There was nothing to say all the way, and after more than 20 minutes, the three of them returned to the blue sky community. As soon as he got out of the car, Lin Chen heard a familiar voice.

"Okay, I know you're busy and don't have time to spend with me, didn't you let my uncle and aunt take me out to play? I don't blame you, I'm used to it anyway. ”

The voice is crisp and pleasant, like coquettishness and more like complaining.

Turning his head, Lin Chen saw a girl with a sweet and lovely face, a ball head, a sportswear, and a small bell around her neck. With the girl's movements, there were bursts of jingling sounds, wasn't it Shen Huairou who often met or who was it?

are all neighbors left and right, or water friends in the live broadcast room, Lin Chen can't ignore it, and waved at her as a greeting.

At the same time that Lin Chen saw Shen Huairou, Shen Huairou also saw him, and the familiar face appeared beside him again, Shen Huairou's originally slightly depressed mood disappeared, and she quickly said on the phone: "I'm at the gate of the community, Mom, let's talk next time." ”

Hanging up the phone, she ran to Lin Chen like a gust of wind, and said happily: "702227, are you going out to play?"

The two often meet, although the contact time is very small, in her heart, the relationship is far more than ordinary friends.

After speaking, I saw Lin Yun beside her, and Lin Mu, who looked at her interestingly.

"Eh, my aunt is good, my sister is good. Shen Huairou was startled and said hello at a loss.

'Oh, did you see your parents?Did you faux pass just now, did you scare them?' Shen Huairou, you're really blind. ’

Of course, Mother Lin was not angry, she looked the girl who was slightly flustered up and down, the more she looked at it, the more satisfied she became, and the more she looked at her expression, the more kind she became: "It's okay for you, you are Xiao Chen's friend?"

'Xiao Chen?' a feminine title. ’

Shen Huairou was secretly happy in her heart, but on the surface, she replied: "Well, the two of us are neighbors, and I often watch his live broadcasts." ”

"Hello neighbors. Mother Lin was even more satisfied: "Since they are all neighbors, let's have a meal together in the evening, our Xiaochen doesn't have a girlfriend yet." ”

Shen Huairou couldn't understand what Mother Lin meant, her face instantly turned red, and she replied in a panic: "No, no, I still have something, Auntie, let's talk next time." ”

As he spoke, the fawn generally fled the sight of several people.
