Chapter 181 Novice Mission 180
Qin Shu's lips were filled with a smile. He gently stroked his daughter Li Tongxin's hair and said softly, "Great! In that case, we must hurry up and make some preparations. We will set off immediately after dinner."
"Oh yeah! I can finally see the cute little monkeys!" Li Tongxin danced with excitement, her face full of anticipation and excitement.
Seeing Li Tongxin's cheerful and happy look, Qin Shu and Xu Xiaofeng couldn't help but smile at each other.
"Don't be in a hurry. Think carefully about what you need to bring with you, otherwise you will start clamoring to buy this and that when you get to the zoo." Qin Shu reminded.
"I know, Mom, I can clean it up myself. Don't always treat me like a child." Li Tongxin pouted and responded in a louder voice.
"Haha, you are just a child, and you are still talking like an adult." Qin Shu couldn't help laughing and teased.
"Mom, if you keep saying this I won't care about you anymore." After saying that, Li Tongxin turned around and went to find Xu Yingying.
"Xiaofeng, come with us to the zoo after dinner!" Qin Shu invited.
"That's fine. I've never been to a zoo either." Xu Xiaofeng accepted Qin Shu's invitation.
Li Tongxin also ran back in a hurry, with an excited blush on her face. She said to Xu Yingying breathlessly: "My mother asked me to prepare the things I need to bring this afternoon."
Xu Yingying looked at her with some confusion and asked, "Is there anything you want to bring?"
Li Tongxin panted as she explained, "My mom told us to bring what we need. I thought about some food and drinks. Also, we can bring our favorite toys and books so we won't be bored during our rest time!"
After hearing this, Xu Yingying tilted her head and said, "Are you sure you want to bring so much?"
"Of course!" Li Tongxin answered seriously.
Looking at Li Tongxin's serious face, Xu Yingying sighed helplessly and thought, forget it, she is my cousin after all! So, Xu Yingying could only accept her fate.
Xu Yingying then watched Li Tongxin get busy. First, she dug out a variety of delicious snacks from home, including potato chips, chocolate, and candy. Then she picked out some fresh fruit, like apples and bananas, and a few bottles of cold, delicious drinks—all her favorites. Then, she each selected her favorite toys and books, carefully placing them on the table.
"Cousin, do you want to take all these with you?" Xu Yingying asked tiredly as she looked at the table full of things.
"Of course we have to bring them! Otherwise, how can I move all these out? By the way, we also need to bring sunglasses and sun hats. Otherwise, we will easily get sunburned." Li Tongxin also specifically reminded Xu Yingying.
Although Xu Yingying was a little disapproving, she still followed her cousin's advice. After everything was ready, Li Tongxin happily packed her backpack and couldn't wait for the afternoon to arrive.
Seeing her cousin Tong Xin busying around, Xu Yingying couldn't help laughing. She felt like she had become a lot more childish. Xu Yingying couldn't help but ask curiously, "Cousin, isn't it just a trip to the zoo? Why are you so happy?"
Hearing what cousin Yingying said, Li Tongxin stopped what she was doing, looked up, her eyes full of anticipation and excitement: "Cousin Yingying, aren't you happy? We can go out and play! This is a very interesting thing!" Li Tongxin's voice was crisp and pleasant, like a cheerful bird in spring.
Xu Yingying looked at her cousin Tong Xin's brilliant smile, and a warm feeling welled up in her heart. Yes, how long had it been since I felt so happy simply because I was out having fun? As I get older, the pressures and worries in life gradually increase, making simple joys increasingly difficult to find.
The innocence of her cousin Tong Xin made Xu Yingying realize that happiness does not require too many material conditions or complicated reasons. As long as you have a pure heart, you can find beauty in ordinary life. Thinking of this, Xu Yingying couldn't help but reveal a faint smile.
Xu Yingying patted her cousin Tong Xin's shoulder and said, "Okay, let's go out and play together!" When Tong Xin heard this, she immediately cheered and her face was filled with a happy smile. Looking at her cousin Tong Xin's lovely appearance, Xu Yingying was also infected by her cheerful mood.
Perhaps, in this noisy world, people are always busy pursuing fame, fortune and success, but forget the most real desire in their hearts - simple happiness. And this happiness is the precious gift that cousin Tong Xin brought to Xu Yingying.
On a sunny afternoon with a gentle breeze, Li Tongxin and Xu Yingying, hand in hand, followed Qin Shu and Xu Xiaofeng to the Jinshan Zoo. The area was covered in lush green grass, blooming flowers, and a clear stream flowed in the distance.
Although it's a zoo, there's also a large green lawn outside. Children excitedly ran across the grass, enjoying the beauty of nature. They shared the food and drinks they brought with them with their friends. Everyone gathered together, happily chatting and playing, their laughter filling the air.
Li Tongxin saw everyone having a picnic on the grass and suggested to Qin Shu, "Mom, let's rest here after we see the animals!"
Qin Shu also took a look and found that the lawn here was indeed suitable for sitting together, so he lowered his head and agreed.
"Cousin Yingying, let's find a shady place later and sit down to read something." Li Tongxin told Xu Yingying all her thoughts and looked around for a suitable place.
Seeing Li Tongxin's enthusiasm, Xu Yingying didn't want to discourage her because there might not be any seats available after she came out of seeing the animals.
The four of them walked all the way to the entrance of the zoo.
Xu Xiaofeng said nervously, "Will there be tigers in there?"
"Xiaofeng, have you never been to a zoo before?" Qin Shu asked in surprise.
"Wasn't this zoo built only in recent years? There wasn't any zoo when we were kids," replied Xu Xiaofeng.
"I also came here once with your brother-in-law a few years ago." Qin Shu said a little embarrassedly.
Of course Xu Xiaofeng heard that Qin Shu was saying that she had been to the zoo when she was dating Li Zhiqiang.
Xu Yingying had been to the zoo before coming to this mission world. The animals were trapped in a small room and raised by humans. They had to come out early every day for tourists to see them.
Like Teresa Teng, Li Tongxin has never been to the zoo.
