"Brother, brother, wake up, don't be in a daze, the food is here!"

A crisp child's voice brought Cao Zhiqiang back to reality from his own world.

When I looked down, I realized that all the dishes had been served before I knew it.

"Simei!" Cao Lili, who was sitting opposite, said with slight dissatisfaction to Qiao Simei, who was sitting next to Cao Zhiqiang, "Why are you disturbing brother again? Didn't I tell you that brother must be thinking about important things, so don't disturb him?"

"I know." Qiao Simei said flatly, "He was distracted before, so I didn't bother him, but now that the dishes are all set, it will get cold if you don't eat them.

Especially this kind of steak, it won't taste good when it's cold. Of course I have to wake up my brother first and let him eat before thinking about national affairs.

And if he doesn’t eat it first, who dares to touch it?”

Cao Lili glared: "Are you still paying attention to me?"

Hearing this, Cao Zhiqiang smiled slightly: "Okay Lili, don't blame Simei. She did the right thing. I shouldn't be distracted while eating."

"Brother." Cao Lili sighed, "You spoil her too much, you will spoil her."

"Haha." Cao Zhiqiang put the napkin on his lap and picked up the knife and fork, "Here, let's get started."

After speaking, Cao Zhiqiang cut a small piece of steak first, then put it into his mouth with a fork, and chewed it on his own.

Seeing Cao Zhiqiang start eating, Qiao Simei immediately started eating second, while Cao Lili and Xiang Dongfang, who were sitting opposite, followed suit.

Yes, although June 1st was the time when Cao Zhiqiang's first single was released, and he was very concerned about the release of his first single, he did not check the record sales at various Xinhua bookstores in Beijing.

On the contrary, early that morning, he called the publishing house and asked for leave, so he took his two younger sisters, and of course their co-teacher Xiang Dongfang, out to celebrate Children's Day.

During Children’s Day in Beijing during this period, there weren’t many places to play.

For example, the later-famous Peking Amusement Park and SJS Amusement Park were not completed at this time.

The earliest Peiping amusement park, under normal circumstances, would not be completed and opened until 1984, and it is still in the construction stage.

Of course, although there were relatively few entertainment venues during this period, there were many places to play in the capital.

For example, the China Science and Technology Museum, Peking Zoo, and Peking Children's Palace are all great places for children.

In fact, at first, Cao Zhiqiang planned to take his two younger sisters to the Science and Technology Museum. Unfortunately, the two girls were not interested in these and had to go to the zoo.

Cao Zhiqiang thought that going to the zoo would be a good idea, so he took them to the zoo together.

In fact, the Peiping Zoo during this period could not be said to be the most comprehensive in Asia, but it was definitely the most comprehensive in China.

Although the Peiping Zoo during this period was not as modern as in later generations, it still had many animal species and numbers.

For example, lions, tigers, giant pandas, wild horses, ibises, ligers, and tigers can all be seen here at this time.

As for elephants, giraffes and the like, they are standard.

After visiting the zoo, they also went to watch a movie in the cinema next to the Peking Exhibition Hall. The movie was very interesting, called "Happy Zoo".

This thing is said to be a movie, but in Cao Zhiqiang's opinion, it is clearly a zoo promotional video.

The content is that a pair of comic actors meet a group of children, and then in the playful explanations of the two comedians, they show the conditions of various animals in the zoo.

Many of the animals are anthropomorphized, especially the scene of the gorilla smoking and playing a gong, which left a deep impression on Cao Zhiqiang.

Although the filming was quite interesting and the children laughed while watching it, to Cao Zhiqiang, it was just a commercial.

It's quite interesting that a commercial can actually be played as a serious movie. It's probably only possible to make it in this era.

Of course, since you have just visited the zoo before, watching this movie now will make you feel even more profound.

Especially for children, watching this thing is particularly interesting.

Even Cao Lili, who always pretends to be a grown-up, was overjoyed to watch.

After watching the movie, it was just time for lunch, so the four of us ate directly in the restaurant of the Peking Exhibition Hall, which is also the Moscow restaurant.

Frankly speaking, although you still have to go to Jianguo Hotel to eat authentic Western food at this time, the Western food there is French food.

When it comes to eating Russian food, at least for now, the Peking Exhibition Hall restaurant is the most authentic. After all, this is Lao Mo.

Originally, Cao Zhiqiang thought that today was Children's Day and the place would be overcrowded. However, after actually coming here, he discovered that the place was actually quite empty. There were not many people coming here to eat. At least it was not hard to find a place.

It's no problem to find a table.

If you think about it carefully, you will understand why.

After all, it's just Children's Day, and it's the children who have the holiday, not the adults.

During children's holidays, how can so many parents be willing to bring their children to eat Western food? It's so expensive.

Especially now that it is noon time, most adults are at work and generally would not be willing to come here to have lunch.

Only at night does this place become more lively and popular.

In the final analysis, the prices here are still too high, well, compared to ordinary people.

After everyone ate for a while, they seemed to find that Cao Zhiqiang had been eating without talking, and the atmosphere was a bit boring. Cao Lili, who was opposite, kicked Xiang Dongfang's foot from below.

Xiang Dongfang was stunned and turned to look at Cao Lili.

Cao Lili looked at Xiang Dongfang, and then pursed her lips at Cao Zhiqiang, who was slowly cutting steak opposite him.

Xiang Dongfang bit his lip shyly, seeming a little embarrassed.

Cao Lili frowned and nuzzled at Cao Zhiqiang again.

Seeing Cao Lili send the signal again, Xiang Dongfang sighed secretly, put down his knife and fork, and was about to speak to Cao Zhiqiang.

But at this moment, Cao Zhiqiang, who was lowering his head to cut the steak, asked first: "Lili, what did you just do? Why did you treat Teacher Xiang like this? What kind of wink did you give her?"

Cao Lili was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Brother, your eyes are so sharp, you can see them even without looking up?"

Cao Zhiqiang raised his head, ate a piece of steak with an expressionless expression, and then said while chewing: "If I can't see those little tricks of yours, wouldn't I be blind? Do you think I'm that foodie from Simei?"

"Huh?" Qiao Simei, who was peeling fried shrimps by herself, was stunned, "Call me?"

"Eat what you have." Cao Zhiqiang said casually, "Don't get involved in adults' affairs!"

"Oh!" Qiao Simei nodded, and then continued to deal with her fried shrimp.

Cao Zhiqiang then looked again at Cao Lili, who was feeling guilty, then at Xiang Dongfang, who had his head lowered, and finally at Cao Lili.

"Lili, what on earth are you doing? You weren't feeling right this morning. You kept dragging me along with Teacher Xiang. What on earth do you want to do?"

"This..." Cao Lili blinked and glanced at Qiao Simei subconsciously.

Then, Cao Lili forced a smile to Cao Zhiqiang: "Brother, it's okay, I just think today is Children's Day, and it must be boring for you to be with our two children all the time, so I want Sister Xiang to talk to you more, so as not to

You are bored."

"That's it?" Cao Zhiqiang raised his eyebrows.

"That's it." Cao Lili said, "What else would it be like? Don't you like chatting with adults, but instead like playing with us all day long?"

"That's true." Cao Zhiqiang touched his chin.

Indeed, although it was to accompany his sister, Cao Zhiqiang found it very boring to actually accompany his two children to celebrate Children's Day.

Mainly, Cao Zhiqiang is already an adult. He doesn't like visiting zoos and has little interest in appreciating animals.

After all, Cao Zhiqiang is a time traveler. He has never seen any animals in his previous life. Moreover, he has been to the zoo countless times in his previous life and has long been bored with it.

On the contrary, Qiao Simei and Cao Lili, and of course Xiang Dongfang, are all very interested in the zoo because they rarely come there.

"So." Cao Lili smiled slightly, "I'm considering you, so I let you and Sister Xiang stay together more, so that you don't get bored. I do it all for your own good."

"Haha." Cao Zhiqiang also smiled slightly, "Let's eat."

After saying that, Cao Zhiqiang ignored Cao Lili and continued to eat silently.

Well, he is now very sure that this is definitely not the reason why Cao Lili constantly arranged for him to go with Xiang Dongfang and constantly created time for them to be alone.

But he didn't want to go into details, so he just kept eating.

After all, in this life, it’s hard to find a clear path.

It would be boring to make many things too clear.

Seeing that Cao Zhiqiang was busy eating again, Cao Lili quietly kicked Xiang Dongfang next to her under the table again.

But this time, Cao Lili just kicked the person, but did not turn her head to wink at the other person.

Feeling Cao Lili's foot under the table again, Xiang Dongfang blushed and asked awkwardly: "Um, President Cao?"

"Yes." Cao Zhiqiang stopped his knife and fork and raised his head, looked at Xiang Dongfang calmly, and smiled slightly, "I have told you many times that we are all on our own, so don't be so polite, just call me Xiao Cao."

"That's so embarrassing." Xiang Dongfang smiled dryly.

"Then my name is Zhiqiang." Cao Zhiqiang smiled and said, "Friendly."

"This..." Xiang Dongfang bit his lip, then smiled, "Okay, Comrade Zhiqiang..."

"Gone comrade!"

"Yes, Zhiqiang."

"That's right." Cao Zhiqiang smiled and asked, "What's the matter, Teacher Xiang?"

"Well, it's nothing." Xiang Dongfang bit his lip, "That's it, that's it..."
