Rebirth of the Millennial: Getting Rich After Parents Get Laid Off

Chapter 169 Amusement Park (Part 1)

"It seems like it's been a long time since we went out together. I was on business trips during the National Day holiday last year and the year before, but I'm home this year. Why don't I ask my brother if he wants to go together?"

Li Xunli acted on her idea immediately and made a phone call to Li Xunjin.

Not long after, they received Li Chun-Chun's reply that she was going.

Li Xunli put down her phone. "Qingqing, we're going to both our family and your uncle's family's house. Are you going with Chen Man tomorrow, or with your family?"

Shen Qingqing thought for a moment, "I'll ask Manman. If it's okay, we can just meet at the Fantawild entrance."

After Shen Qingqing finished speaking, she went back to her room and sent a message to Chen Man.

Even after Shen Qingqing moved away, Chen Man still frequently visited Yujing Haoting. She became quite familiar with Shen Yangyang and Shen Hong, and occasionally bumped into Li Chunchun as well.

Upon seeing Shen Qingqing mention that so many people would be going together, he immediately agreed to meet her at the Fantawild entrance.

The distance between Chaocheng and Shancheng is not far. It takes about half an hour to get to Shancheng city from Anlu Town.

Chen Man then sent the exact address of Fantawild Water World to Shen Qingqing, who in turn forwarded it to her father and uncle on WeChat so they could use it for navigation the next day.

Shen Yangyang was doing her homework in her room when she heard that they were going to go out to play. She immediately threw down her pen and ran out, asking, "Where are we going to play!"

Shen Qingqing grabbed Shen Yangyang's pigtails with both hands and gently lifted her head, shaking it: "You'll find out tomorrow!"

"Ahhh, don't mess with my hair!" Shen Yangyang said angrily, trying to rescue her already thinning hair from Shen Qingqing's grasp.

In the Shen family, Shen Qingqing and Shen Hong both inherited Shen Rongzhou's thick and abundant hair, while Shen Yangyang inherited Li Xunli's thin and curly hair, which covered her head in a thin layer.

Therefore, Shen Yangyang usually takes her hair very seriously.

Shen Qingqing quickly let go before she could grab her hand, then turned and ran back to her room.

Shen Yangyang was still stroking her pigtails when she saw Shen Qingqing run away. She immediately tried to chase after her, but Shen Qingqing had been ahead of her for too long and her strides were longer than Shen Yangyang's. She entered the room two steps ahead of her and slammed the door shut with a "bang" and locked it.

Shen Yangyang pressed the doorknob twice with all her might, but couldn't budge it. Furious, she yelled and kicked the door twice: "You stinky sister!!"

Shen Qingqing laughed triumphantly and arrogantly from inside the door.

After dinner, the mother and her four children went to the master bedroom to prepare their backpacks and suitcases for their trip the next day. Before dinner, Li Xunjin had called again, saying that in addition to playing at Fantawild, they could also go hiking at Lotus Peak and see the sea, basically implying that they would be staying away from home for a few nights, so they needed to prepare some changes of clothes.

Shen Qingqing also told Chen Man about this, but Chen Man couldn't keep up with the rest of the trip because Zhang Zeqin was taking her to Hong Kong, and they had just gotten their travel permits.

Shen Qingqing said she understood, but she was also wondering if her family could go to Hong Kong for a visit sometime next year.

Going out to play is always a very important thing in the minds of children.

Needless to say, Shen Yangyang was so happy that she couldn't sleep all night, chattering incessantly with Li Xunli.

Even Shen Hong, who has always been introverted, was wide awake and listened attentively to Shen Yangyang and Li Xunli talking.

As for Shen Qingqing, she had already gone back to her room to play games. She had a dungeon run scheduled for tonight, and once she went out to play, she wouldn't be able to clear her cooldowns.

The Shen and Li families agreed to set off together. As soon as they got in the car, Shen Qingqing opened a bottle of yogurt and started drinking it.

She drank slowly, but the destination wasn't far away; by the time she finished the yogurt, they had arrived.

However, they first went to a hotel not far away. Knowing that Fantawild is very big, the two families had reserved two days to play. After putting down their luggage and taking care of personal hygiene at the hotel, they set off with light luggage.

Amusement parks during holidays are practically synonymous with being packed with people, and they're also huge gathering places for little ones.

However, since they had agreed to meet Chen Man's family at the entrance of the amusement park, everyone except Shen Rongzhou, who went to buy tickets first, waited at the entrance.

It didn't take long before Chen Man, wearing a hat, rushed over excitedly: "Qingqing!!"

Shen Qingqing and Chen Man hugged each other. After Chen Yanfeng greeted Li Xunli and the others, he also went to buy tickets.

But on the way, they ran into Shen Rongzhou, who was returning with a ticket, and he called out to them, "Yanfeng! You don't need to go, I've already bought one!"

Chen Yanfeng suddenly stopped and walked over to Shen Rongzhou: "How could we possibly accept this?"

Shen Rongzhou smiled and said, "It's just buying three more tickets, there's nothing to be embarrassed about!"

After rejoining the main group, Shen Rongzhou handed out tickets to each of them, and tickets needed to be checked when entering.

Shen Qingqing had never been to an amusement park like this before, and Fantawild had only recently opened, so it was even less likely that she had any prior experience.

Fortunately, Chen Man had been to many similar amusement parks before. With her demonstrating, the others followed suit and successfully got through the ticket check.

Chen Man picked up a few maps from the entrance and chattered with Shen Qingqing about where they should go for fun.

However, a disagreement arose among the group regarding the first activity. Chen Man and Shen Qingqing wanted to try something more exciting first, and then enjoy the water activities in the afternoon.

The adults, mindful of the three children, decided to try some gentler activities.

If it were just Shen Qingqing alone, Li Xunli and the others could try to persuade her, but Chen Man also wants to go, which makes things a bit difficult.

Fortunately, Chen Yanfeng stepped forward with a smile: "It's okay, you guys accompany the three little ones to play other things. My husband and I accompanied Manman to play these games before, so we have experience. Bringing Qingqing along won't be a problem."

Shen Rongzhou reached out and shook Chen Yanfeng's hand, patting his shoulder: "Then I'll have to trouble you, Yanfeng! Let's have a good meal tonight, it's on me, don't be shy!"

Chen Yanfeng smiled and agreed, understanding what he meant.

The main force was thus divided into two parts.

Shen Qingqing had never tried any of those thrilling rides before. As soon as she and Chen Manya parted ways with their parents, they excitedly rushed towards the roller coaster.

Chen Yanfeng followed them to buy tickets.

The previous train had just departed, so Shen Qingqing and Chen Man had to wait for the next one.

Looking out from where you board, you can see the winding and varied roller coaster tracks.

The roller coaster train slowly pulled out of the boarding area and then began to accelerate. As the sound around us suddenly intensified, the roller coaster shot off with a "whoosh," rapidly navigating the curves along the track, eliciting a deafening scream.

The roller coaster track remained perfectly still, only wobbling slightly after the train passed, clearly indicating its sturdiness.

The safety factor is quite high.

Chen Man grabbed Shen Qingqing's arm excitedly: "Qingqing! Aren't you nervous!"

Watching them rush off at such speed, Shen Qingqing's heart raced slightly, but she couldn't tell if she was excited or nervous. She could only swallow and say, "My heart is beating a little fast. It feels so exciting."

Chen Man's eyes lit up as she gripped Shen Qingqing's arm tightly: "It must be so exciting! The roller coaster I rode before didn't have those high and low tracks, it only had those left and right rotations. This one has high and low, and you can hear how loudly those people are screaming, it would be strange if it wasn't exciting!"

While anxiously waiting, the bus ahead finally finished. The previous group of tourists, their hair flying wildly in the wind and shouting hoarsely, had various expressions on their faces: some were flushed with excitement, some were pale with fright, and some were completely stunned.

Many people got off the train and their legs went weak, almost causing them to kneel down.

A man who almost couldn't stand walked down next to Shen Qingqing and Chen Man. The two women clung to each other as they watched the man being helped down by his companion.

Chen Man immediately whispered to Shen Qingqing, "If our legs get weak later, we'll wait until everyone else on the bus gets off before we get off. That way we can recover a bit more and won't be unable to stand."

Shen Qingqing wasn't sure if her legs would go weak, but that didn't stop her from agreeing with Chen Man's suggestion, "You're right."

"Okay, next group of tourists, please come over and board the bus in an orderly manner!" The staff at the front started calling out to people.

Shen Qingqing and Chen Man, hand in hand, were the first couple to step forward and sit at the very front. This was something they had just discussed, because they had seen that people sitting in the back of the previous bus had their hair smeared by the hair of the people in front of them. They didn't want to risk getting their hair smeared by others, who knew if it had been washed or not.

After they sat down, the staff immediately approached to fasten their seat belts and then pulled the car seats down to lock them in place.

They sat in the first row, and Chen Yanfeng and his wife must have followed closely behind, sitting in the second row.

One by one, the passengers took their seats on the bus. But there was a little incident at the very end. A little boy suddenly got scared just before boarding, and his companions had to persuade him to get on the bus.

After the staff checked all the safety equipment from beginning to end and confirmed that there were no problems, the car lurched forward and started moving.

Shen Qingqing and Chen Man held each other's hands tightly, feeling the car slowly slide off the tracks.

Standing on the shore, it didn't seem like the car was going that fast, but when they got on, they could feel a bit of tension from the push-back feeling.

After a period of steady speed, the car suddenly accelerated—

Chen Man had already started shouting, and the speed was really fast because there was a low-to-high vertical track section coming up soon, and they had to rush up at high speed.

Shen Qingqing was able to hold back her screams at first, but when she reached the highest point of the vertical climb, she could no longer hold them in.

"what--"

As the roller coaster plunged from its highest point, Shen Qingqing and Chen Man's screams almost overlapped, the two girls' vocal ranges were ridiculously high.

And once that scream was heard, the entire roller coaster couldn't stop.

Once you accelerate, the wind blows, and you scream, your mind goes completely blank.

All I could feel was pleasure.

Even as the roller coaster slowly slowed down and returned to the platform, Shen Qingqing and Chen Man were still a little reluctant to leave.

Their hair was a complete mess, but their hands were still tightly clasped together, their hands turning slightly purple from gripping each other so tightly.

But when they looked at each other, they both laughed foolishly at each other.

"So much fun!" Chen Man blurted out three words, looking a little silly.

Shen Qingqing nodded heavily several times.

The people behind them had already begun to slowly get off the bus. Shen Qingqing and Chen Man followed their agreement before boarding and waited until everyone else had disembarked before getting off themselves.

Unexpectedly, the passengers on their bus were even more ill than those on the previous bus, and it took them longer to get off. Some even vomited as soon as they got off the bus.

The staff were also taken aback for a moment, but quickly used walkie-talkies to notify others to come and deal with the situation.

Thanks to them, by the time Shen Qingqing and Chen Man got out of the car, they had both returned to normal, except that their heartbeats were still a little fast.

After the passengers finished their experience and left in an orderly manner, Chen Man and Shen Qingqing took out the map from their small bags and opened it: "We're here now, what should we do next?"

“This one is a bit too exciting. Let’s try something gentler next, like the Ferris wheel. I want to see the whole Fantawild Adventure.” Shen Qingqing pointed to a spot on the map.

Chen Man pouted, "The Ferris wheel is very slow, and it's so big that it takes a long time to go around once. The time it takes to go around once is enough for us to play several other games."

Shen Qingqing thought for a moment, "Then let's just keep going straight down this road and play whatever we see. But I won't ride the giant swing or the pirate ship. I get carsick, and I'm afraid I'll throw up halfway through those rides."

After listening, Chen Man expressed her understanding, "Okay, let's go then!"

The two walked ahead with great strides, and then they started running. Along the way, they encountered quite a few fun activities.

They had almost forgotten that Chen Yanfeng and his wife were behind them; they were having so much fun that they didn't care whether the couple lived or died.

"Hey! Manman! Bumper cars!" Shen Qingqing saw the bumper car area from afar, where quite a few cars were already colliding everywhere.

Chen Man didn't even need her to ask; she just grabbed her hand and sprinted like a hundred-meter dash.

However, the bumper cars are really popular, and there are no empty cars left in the venue.

Shen Qingqing and Chen Man waited anxiously in line, watching as the people in front of them entered one after another, the line moving at a snail's pace.

The two of them were under the blazing sun, sweating profusely and with flushed faces. But surprisingly, at the bumper cars, it was only after their faces had cooled down and their heartbeats had returned to normal that it was finally their turn!

Because of the shortage of vehicles, Chen Yanfeng and his wife did not go to the park. Instead, they bought tickets and let their two children go play, while the two of them watched from the fence.

Meanwhile, on the field, Shen Qingqing and Chen Man, wearing protective gear, gripped the steering wheel, ready to go.

See you tomorrow night~
