Chapter 238 The Zhang Family Had a Great Time
"This park charges admission! I saw a ticket booth and I had to pay for the ticket... I guess I should just not go in."
Just as Song Cenyue was about to buy a ticket, she heard Zhang Shengjin's voice.
"If you have to pay for a ticket, don't go in." Dong Jinhua nodded in agreement, "Don't waste your money!"
No matter whether the money was paid by their Zhang family or Song Cenyue, she was reluctant to spend it.
Although the gate of the park looked good and grand, she had never seen such a good and grand gate. The park inside the gate must be well-built and grand. After all, if the gate was like this, the inside must not be bad. But it would cost money, and she really couldn't bear to spend it.
Even if the ticket is 1 cent each, there are six people in the Zhang family, and with Song Cenyue, there are seven people. Each person gets a ticket, which would cost 70 cents. It's really not cost-effective.
If the Zhang family paid for it, 70 cents would be equivalent to three and a half days of work for the country farmers, and they would still get full work points. The more they thought about it, the more it hurt. It's just a park, there's no need to spend so much money to visit it.
If Song Cenyue came out, they would know that the other party had just spent several dollars and a lot of food coupons to treat their fellow villagers to a meal, and they couldn't let them spend money again.
After hearing their parents say not to go in, Zhang Jianxing and his wife and Zhang Xiaoyun and her brother and sister were all very curious about the park and wanted to go in for a stroll, but they still agreed with their parents and said that since they had to buy tickets and spend money, they should not go in and go somewhere else to play.
"Now that we're here and at the gate, how can we not go in? Although you have to pay for a ticket to get in, the ticket will definitely not be expensive. I estimate that a ticket will only be one or two cents. I'll go buy the ticket now, you guys wait here for me." Song Cenyue said with a smile.
"One or two cents for a ticket is not a small amount. With so many of us, we need to buy many tickets, which will cost a lot of money... Girl Cen Yue, don't spend any more money. We can't let you spend any more money. You have already spent a lot of money to treat us to lunch, and we have a lot of food coupons left." Dong Jinhua said.
"Yeah..." Zhang Sheng Jin Gang nodded in agreement, but was interrupted by Song Cenyue.
"Oh, don't feel bad for me. It didn't cost much. I have money, don't worry... I'll go buy the tickets right now, you wait here..."
"No, we have to buy the tickets. After all, you treated us to lunch. Boss, go buy the tickets quickly." Seeing that Song Cenyue was determined to go into the park to play, Zhang Shengjin changed his mind and instructed his eldest son, deciding that the Zhang family would pay for the tickets.
He thought that he had let the girl spend so much money at noon, so he absolutely could not let her pay for the ticket again.
"Yes, boss, go buy the tickets quickly." Dong Jinhua immediately agreed after hearing her husband's words.
Although she was reluctant to spend money on the ticket, Song Cenyue insisted on going in, so she decided to let her family pay for the ticket.
"Okay!" Zhang Jianxing nodded immediately and was about to run towards the ticket office.
"Brother Zhang, don't go. You can't buy the ticket. I have to buy the ticket. It was me who asked us to come to the park, so I should be the one buying the ticket." Song Cenyue wanted to stop Zhang Jianxing.
"What you said is true. You have spent so much money to treat us to the restaurant. Shouldn't we reciprocate and buy you tickets to go to the park?" Zhang Shengjin waved his hand and winked at his eldest son, telling him not to pay attention to Song Cenyue's obstruction and to buy tickets quickly.
Zhang Jianxing hurried to buy a ticket. Song Cenyue wanted to stop him but was stopped by Dong Jinhua.
In the end, Song Cenyue had no choice but to watch Zhang Jianxing go to buy the ticket.
There was no one in front of the ticket office, so there was no need to queue. Zhang Jianxing bought the tickets quickly and came back, telling his family and Song Cenyue. The ticket was ten cents each, and only children under seven years old and people over eighty years old were free, so he bought seven tickets, spending seven cents.
"Now that we have bought the tickets, let's go in quickly. I have never been to this park before and I am really curious about it. I want to know what it looks like inside." Zhang Jianbo looked towards the gate and said excitedly.
So, everyone went to the gate. Since they had bought tickets and were able to hand them over to the ticket inspector in front of the gate, they entered the park gate smoothly.
Song Cenyue found that the park was not big, even smaller than the park in the military zone, and could not be compared with modern parks at all, but it had lakes, rockery, pavilions, small woods, and many flowers planted. It was very similar to the Suzhou gardens and was very ornamental. It was not a waste to spend a dime to come in and play.
Because it was the first time for the Zhang family to come to the park and also the first time to see the lake, rockery, pavilions and terraces, they were amazed and everyone looked excited. Even the team leader could not hide his excitement and kept saying that it was an eye-opener and they had learned a lot. The Zhang family all agreed with him and felt that they had broadened their horizons and gained a lot of knowledge.
The Zhang family had a very happy trip to the park. Although the park was not very big, they spent the entire afternoon there and visited every part of the park in detail. So by the time they left the park, it was already evening.
"It's already evening, it's time for dinner. Let's go to a restaurant." Song Cenyue said.
Since it was agreed yesterday that Song Cenyue would treat them to lunch and dinner today, the Zhang family did not refuse and followed Song Cenyue to the state-owned restaurant.
This time, Song Cenyue chose another state-owned restaurant instead of the one she went to for lunch. Although the food at the state-owned restaurant she went to for lunch was good, there was no need to go to the same restaurant. She could go to the same restaurant for lunch and dinner, and go to another restaurant for dinner to see how the food tasted and discover more restaurants with good food.
As it turned out, Song Cenyue found that she was quite picky. The dishes made by the state-owned restaurant she chose for dinner were also delicious. She and the Zhang family enjoyed the meal very much, and both the guests and the hosts were delighted.
After dinner, it was not yet dark, but it was time to go back to the production team, so Song Cenyue drove the Zhang family back to the production team.
After sending the Zhang family directly to the front door of the Zhang family, Song Cenyue was about to go back, but Zhang Shengjin and his wife invited her into the house to sit down.
"No, I want to go back. See you tomorrow." Song Cenyue waved to the Zhang family and drove back home.
Watching Song Cenyue's car going away, Dong Jinhua narrowed her eyes and smiled, "Thanks to Miss Cenyue, I had a really good time today. I haven't had so much fun in many years."
"Yes!" Zhang Shengjin nodded, stroking his beard, "I haven't had so much fun in years."
"I had a really good time today. We ate well and had a lot of fun... I think the park is really fun. Let's go there again in the future, okay, Mom and Dad?" Zhang Jianbo nodded vigorously with a happy look on his face. He was already thinking about going to the park next time.
"Okay... but we can't go there often. After all, we have to buy tickets, and one ticket costs ten cents. With so many of us, it will cost several cents, which is equivalent to the work points we earn by working in the fields for a few days, and full work points at that." Dong Jinhua said.
She still felt bad about spending money, but the park was so much fun that she still wanted to go again, so she was willing to spend the money, but she just couldn't go there often.
Zhang Shengjin nodded. Zhang Jianbo became even happier and smiled broadly when he saw that his parents agreed. His brother, sister-in-law and his sister were equally happy and smiling broadly. They also liked going to the park and wanted to go again.
