Chapter 408: A Wonderful Childhood

As the first aquarium in Sichuan City, it has an extraordinary head start. As long as the owner here doesn't do anything stupid in the future,

such as going into debt of 350 million yuan and running away with his sister-in-law,

with continued investment in the future, this place will definitely be a long-term business that is sure to make a profit.

However, Gu Chen doesn't really lack money at the moment, and this time he is out having fun with his wife and daughter.

Naturally, he has no interest in becoming a business broker.

After walking around the aquarium twice, it was almost noon when they came out.

Since it was rare for them to go out together, Gu Chen suggested finding a nearby restaurant to get something to eat.

That way, they could also go to the zoo a few blocks away in the afternoon.

Naturally, Tangtang was more than happy about this, and Ji Pianran had come out with the intention of spending time with her daughter.

Naturally, she had no objections.

After looking around for a while, the three of them casually chose a Western restaurant and went in.

Compared to the bustling crowds in the aquarium, the restaurant was not as busy.

The hall was not very crowded, with only a few people sitting here and there.

The place is expensive, with a meal costing at least 2,000 to 3,000 yuan.

If you order some seafood, it'll be even more expensive.

Most people in this era don't have internet or computers.

But they are generally more practical and care about life.

They don't spend all their money just because of some strange reasons like

'the few restaurants you must go to in your life'

or 'life needs a sense of ritual'.

They don't even go so far as to get into debt for it.

Instead, they will be labelled as stupid.

In order to buy a fruit phone, they will have to wait another ten years before they can trade in their kidneys for money.

Gu Chen did not have much experience ordering food, so he simply handed over the task to his wife.

Fortunately, Ji Bianran and their daughter, Tang Tang, did not have any seafood allergies.

So Gu Chen was very relieved.

After looking at the menu, Ji Bianran ordered three steaks and the two highest-priced set meals.

She had been eating out a lot for business reasons and was very skilled at it by now.

And instead of thinking about who wanted what, she preferred to order everything at once.

That way, they could basically eat whatever they wanted.

Although no one checked for drunk driving in those days, neither of them had been drinking.

They just ordered a glass of orange juice for their daughter, Tang Tang.

Once the waiter started serving the food, the family began eating together.

Although the chef at this restaurant was nowhere near as good as Gu Chen,

Tang Tang was having a great time eating.

At home, Gu Chen mostly cooks Chinese food.

And for every meal he cooks, he carefully considers the tastes and nutrition of his daughter and wife before getting started.

Not to mention anything like foie gras, steak, snails and lobsters.

In particular, Gu Chen always puts very little cheese on, as it is a food with a high calorie content.

Now, however, she has tasted so many strange things at once.

As a child, Tantan is extremely excited.

In her opinion, this meal is probably like going to the aquarium.

No matter what the waiter brings, she finds it all very new and interesting.

After lunch, the family took a short break before driving to the nearby zoo again.

This time, they were able to fulfil their daughter's two little wishes.

And the fact that they were able to do it together as a family made Tang Tang feel incredibly happy all day long.

In contrast, the zoo was much better equipped than the aquarium.

At least there were cages and enclosures.

Tang Tang especially liked the red pandas and bought a lot of food to throw in.

While other people fed the animals little by little, Tang Tang just poured bag after bag of food in.

If the staff hadn't stopped her, Gu Chen felt that her daughter would have fed the red pandas until they died today.

Speaking of which, the little raccoon dry noodles, although they have already started advertising on TV,

have not yet become the childhood memories of a generation, and even the most classic water-side cards are not yet in them.

Thinking about this, Gu Chen ran directly to a small shop in the zoo and bought a few packs back.

Ji Pianran gave him a dissatisfied glare, as if blaming him for buying such unhealthy snacks for his daughter again.

But Gu Chen just laughed, thinking to himself:

When Tantan grows up in the future, she will one day chat with her friends about the fun things that happened when she was little.

Will she also remember a certain time when the three of them were at the zoo?

While watching the little raccoons playing under the tree, they ate the raccoon-shaped snacks together that afternoon?

But it was clear that the owner of this zoo did not have the same business acumen as the owner of the aquarium.

When the three of them came out, they had not seen any special souvenirs.

Fortunately, Gu Chen's Polaroid camera, which she had bought earlier, came in handy.

It quickly produced a stack of photos, which were a kind of freeze frame of the beautiful memories.

And the energy of a child can be quite strong. Gu Chen took her daughter around for most of the day, and when they got home in the evening,

even a physically fit person like Gu Chen felt a little tired.

Of course, it wasn't that they had walked a lot that day, but children's curiosity is more exuberant than adults'.

They find everything interesting, even flowers and plants they haven't seen before, and they have to squat down and look at them for a while before moving on.

This has consumed a lot of energy without them even realising it, and even her daughter, Tang Tang, is considered relatively well-behaved.

Gu Chen usually picks up her child from kindergarten, and those naughty kids climb trees and walls.

As soon as you let go of them, they're like unleashed dogs that have broken free from their eternal seal.

In the blink of an eye, they're gone, and you don't even see their shadows.

Compared to those kids, my own daughter is already very cute.

When the three of them returned home together, Ji Pianran directly flung her high heels to the side.

Then she took a few steps forward, very unladylike, collapsed on the sofa in the living room, and couldn't get up again.

Gu Chen couldn't help but smile and shake his head when he saw this.

Because they had already eaten dinner when they returned.

So he took Tiantian directly to the bathroom to get ready for a bath.

Otherwise, after sweating all afternoon, if they didn't change and go straight to bed, they would stink tomorrow.

Children don't feel much about this, but as a good father of the new era,

Gu Chen has always attached great importance to cultivating good hygiene habits in his daughter.

Fortunately, her spirit had its limits, and sitting in the bathtub, she was soaked in the warm, hot water.

Finally, she couldn't help but feel drowsy and start to nod off.
