Chen Ma's doubtful eyes gradually brightened. Oops, my son is going to be successful! Although she doesn't have much education, with this magazine and this draft notice, anyone who is not a fool can understand what this email means, right?
She took the book from her husband's hand and touched the cover with joy.
"China National Geographic, this name is very powerful when you hear it." Father Chen also said: "Look through it quickly, there must be something written by my son at the back!" Some regular patrons who were nearby also came over with their hands behind their backs and wanted to Let's see what it is that makes these two people startled, like two children who got a gift.
Chen Xing's manuscript is in the second half of this issue of the magazine. If you open this page according to the table of contents, the first thing you see is a photo that takes two pages to express.
This magazine is in sixteenth format, and using two pages to express the photos is enough for the audience to clearly see the details.
It’s not the one with thousands of lights, but the one where Chen Xing stood on the edge of the Dai village and took a photo on the terraces.
China has been an agricultural society since ancient times. This photo was taken when the rice was ripe, and a large number of local villagers were bending down to cut the rice. Their faces were cheerful and the colors were bright, which conveyed a strong sense of harvest.
Written by: Chen Xing 'The sunny spring terraces are like a wonderland' Photographed by: Chen Xing Mother Chen looked at this picture for a long time and thought, is this where her son will travel?
It looks so beautiful. Turn the page. At this time, there is text on the left.
"The villages with spring terraces are a unique cultural landscape created by nature and people for thousands of years. Here, the meaning of land is most fully reflected. That is, land is beauty, land is home, and land is Tradition and life, land is a symbol full of meaning, and land is a trustworthy partner. It carries the farming civilization of the Chinese nation and is the essence of civilian landscape and land landscape..." Chen Xing started from the terraces, and then talked about the The Miao and Dai people who farm here, and the photos also record the local houses and local lives - Chen Xing used less than three thousand words and four pictures to paint one of the most beautiful pastoral pictures in the world.
Gradually after reading these words and photos, Chen’s mother’s eyes lost the fierceness of the Sichuan and Chongqing girl, and her face became tender.
Chen Jiannan lacked some composure, and after reading it, he subconsciously shouted: "Xiaoguang! Our son is going to be successful!" Chen's mother's eyes narrowed, and she stretched out her hand to pinch him: "What did you say?"
"Wife, wife! Chen's mother is most annoyed by people calling her name, especially after giving birth to Chen Xing. Some people watching the excitement realized that the article the couple read was written by their son, and they all said : "Has the stars become your home? "
"Sister Li, show us that book. We also want to know what Xiaoxing wrote."
"What kind of book is this? I'll buy one later and read it. It won't be the kind of thing that young people like to read these days...on the Internet, right?"
"Oh, I just said that this child Xiaoxing is handsome and will definitely have a future..." Mother Chen looked at the person who said this and rolled her eyes. Who in the mahjong parlor doesn't know that this aunt treats her son every day? He keeps talking about passing the key exams.
Every time Chen Xing came to the chess and card room, as long as this person was there, he would pretend not to know and ask what Chen Xing was doing, and then talk about how his son was doing in college and how much the teacher liked his son.
More and more people are coming around. Mother Chen cleared her throat and said: "Stop pushing, stop pushing. Don't you know how old you are? Stop pushing. My son Chen Xing's writing was accepted by a magazine. I'm here to give it to you. "Nian Nian." She didn't feel tired even after writing more than three thousand words.
If anyone wants to listen, Mother Chen is even willing to come over and recite it every day until everyone in the chess and card room gets tired of hearing it.
She was so happy. After twenty years of growing up, my son finally made a serious splash. In the future, when people ask her how her son is, she will be able to say that her son is a writer, instead of thinking that her son has nothing to offer except that he looks good.
"I read it... The villages with terraced fields in spring have been here for thousands of years..."...Chen Xing encountered a little trouble.
The transfer was not smooth. There is only one flight between Paris and Chengdu, and it does not run every day, so Chen Xing did not take the direct flight to Chengdu this time when he returned to China, but transferred in Yanjing.
But due to weather conditions, the plane in front of Chen Xing had already left when he landed. Chen Xing had no choice but to change his ticket and wait six hours before taking the next flight to Chengdu.
In fact, it is not called a transfer. Returning to China from France can be regarded as arriving at the destination. It is just an ordinary flight delay.
Chen Xing didn't want to stay in the airport these few hours. He thought it would be a good idea to go shopping in the capital, so he handed his luggage to the ground staff who had handled the formalities for him.
The ground crew saw Chen Xing looking like he wanted to go out for a walk and asked, "Where are you going?"
"Go to town."
"You should just wait at the airport. We are far away from the city and scenic spots. It will take more than an hour for you to go back and forth by car. There will be a lot of people at the security check, so you have to arrive at least two hours in advance. I suggest you. , you’d better take some time, find some free time, and come to Yanjing specifically to visit.”
"Six hours..." Chen Xing was unwilling. He had just sat on the plane all night. He had to sit still when he came back?
"There's nothing you can do about it, guest. Of course, I'm just giving you an opinion. You still have time to watch. By the way, there is a zoo near the airport. If you want, you can go to the zoo and take a look. You can't take a taxi. It’ll be there in twenty minutes.”
"That's okay." Chen Xing mainly wanted to get some fresh air. After leaving the airport, Chen Xing took a deep breath of the capital's air.
So cold! dry! Why is the air not as good as in Sichuan Province? There are a lot of taxis outside the airport, but you can't just take one. You have to find the drivers who are queuing up.
As soon as Chen Xing got in the car, the driver shouted: "Handsome guy, where are you going?"
"Let me take a look." Chen Xing had already found the zoo that the ground staff mentioned on his mobile phone. He showed the mobile phone to the driver and said, "Just go here." The driver took a glance and started off. After a while, he asked : "Handsome guy is leaving soon?"
"Yes, back to Sichuan Province." Chen Xing didn't ask him how he knew he was leaving. Generally speaking, there is only one person going from the airport to this zoo. Most of them have to wait at the airport for several hours and don't want to wait. That kind of person.
Generally speaking, Chen Xing wouldn't find it strange that the driver would return to his hometown at this time. The population of Sichuan Province is one of the highest in the country, and a large part of them have gone out to work, resulting in people from Sichuan Province being found all over the country.
But the driver was obviously an old Yanjing man. He praised Sichuan Province for a while, and then the topic of falling in love came up for another ten minutes or so. When we got there, he was still not finished.
He thought that if he had Chen Xing's looks, why would he drive a taxi? If he went to bars every night, he might meet the right kind of rich woman.
Appropriate means that there is no need to worry about the future. For example, a rich woman is actually being cared for, or a rich woman has a very powerful husband. If she is caught, shouldn't she sink into Beidaihe?
Anyway, Chen Xing arrived. Yanjing Wildlife Park. This is a very large zoo, and it would probably take a whole day to visit it all. Now Chen Xing has no way to visit it all, so he can only wander around for two hours, and then he has to take a ride back.
It is worth mentioning that a certain group is doing activities and the tickets are very cheap. It is estimated that the weather in mid-December is too cold and it is the cold season, so there will not be too many tourists here.
There shouldn't be anyone queuing up. When Chen Xing walked over, he realized that he still had to queue, but the queue was very short.
There are two types of tickets here, one is a walking tour ticket, and the other is a self-driving ticket, which means you can drive around the zoo by yourself. This kind of ticket is destined to miss Chen Xing.
After entering the gate, there is a pool in front, with a cartoon map in front of the pool. This map shows that if you go to the left, you will see peacocks, kangaroos, birds, etc. If you go to the right, you will see lions and tigers soon, so you must go to the right.
There used to be a forest park in Chen Xing's hometown, where peacocks and ostriches were raised. Visiting it was free, and Chen Xing had been there many times.
But later it was estimated that it could no longer support it, and the park was abandoned. There were few people queuing up at the door, but when I walked in, I found that there were definitely a lot of people inside the zoo. However, you didn’t see many people like Chen Xing who came alone. Everyone had a tacit understanding that either they would bring their children, or they would bring their men and women. friend.
Chen Xing is handsomely dressed and handsome. Walking here alone is like a celebrity filming a variety show. Along the way, many people are looking back to see if there are cameras following him.
There is indeed a camera taking pictures, but you don't know it, Chen Xing thought to himself. Time was limited, and Chen Xing also wanted to see more ferocious beasts, so he sped up and walked towards the liger park. In the distance, Chen Xing heard the roar of tigers, and then the barking of dogs.
Is there a puppy left in the liger park? Is it so exciting right from the start? Shouldn't there be staff going to rescue this?
Chen Xing finally arrived. When he looked inside the cage, he saw a black puppy running after the tiger. There was a lion helping him and a tiger watching the show. Seeing that the puppy seemed fine, Chen Xing felt relieved. ...that's weird.
This must be eaten, a puppy is so small! But Chen Xing watched it for a long time, and the more he looked, the more he felt something was wrong. Why did he feel that this tiger was so scared?
He has always been sensitive to the emotions of animals, and he also has dog training skills, so the longer he watches, the more he can confirm that the tiger is afraid, and the puppy just barks a few times out of habit.
No fear, no intimidation, just normal. Has this dog always lived here?
At this time, something caught Chen Xing's pants. He lowered his head and saw that it was a red panda. Seeing Chen Xing looking at him, he pulled at it again, probably asking for something to eat.
But Chen Xing was not prepared for anything. The two young ladies next to me thought it was so cute, so they hurriedly knelt down and fed it with cabbage bought in the park.
"so cute!
"Can you touch it?" Then Chen Xing saw a uniformed staff member suddenly appear out of nowhere and said, "It's okay to touch him lightly, but don't scare him. Be careful." "The little panda was pulling Chen Xing while eating, without delaying the two ends.
Chen Xing also asked: "What's going on with this bitch?"
"Ah, there is an introduction over there..."
"It's a liger!" One of the girls feeding the red pandas saw that Chen Xing didn't know and said quickly,
"These two tigers and one lion were difficult to raise when they were born. In order to help them grow better, the breeders found dog mothers who had similar feeding methods to them. The dog mothers took their own Newly born puppies come here to be wet nurses for lion cubs and tiger cubs.”
"Oh! They are a family, no wonder."
"Yeah, handsome guy, why is this little panda hugging you?" Chen Xing also squatted down, looked at the little guy curiously, and said, "I don't know either." He looked at the little panda and looked at himself too. He was relatively friendly, so he touched it lightly with his hands. After finding that everything was safe, he started stroking it from beginning to end.
This is the first time he has touched a wild animal so unscrupulously. So cool! In the past, he was afraid of getting sick and didn't dare to touch it with his hands. But the red pandas living in the wildlife park shouldn't have any viruses on them, right?
At least it would be nice not to bite yourself.
"What's your name?" a girl asked.
"Chen Xing."
"My name is Shi Hairong, and her name is Tao Hong. Would you like to go to the beast hall later? We can go together." Chen Xing also wanted to go.
But after looking at the time, he shook his head and said, "Forget it, I came here in the middle of a connecting flight. I'm running out of time. I'll have to go back to catch the plane in a while."
"Ah? How about adding WeChat?" Chen Xing never refuses WeChat messages from beautiful women, so he took out his mobile phone and added them all.
The staff member had no expression on his face the whole time... He wanted to take advantage of the opportunity just now to strike up a conversation with these two girls, but the result was... a disgusting face!
And you! Red panda! You are also a pretty girl! In fact, red pandas are not as comfortable to touch as cats, but they are very strange and cute.
How about I raise one too? No, no, it's a violation of the law. When he looked up and looked inside the liger park again, the puppy had already found a place to lie down. The lion, which was at least three times bigger than her, was lying next to it, licking the dog's fur with a doting look on its face.
Fortunately, Chen Xing could see the favor. [I told you, you can find a job in the zoo] The system also came out and said something.
Yes, yes, Chen Xing remembered what she said. It's not like Chen Xing didn't believe it, but why would he never go to work in the zoo?
With such a good plug-in, you don’t need to go to the zoo and spend the whole day with animals? It affects me too much to become a legend.
After leaving the Liger Garden, Chen Xing walked forward for another half an hour, then sighed and walked back. The short trip to Yanjing officially ended.
Go home. My parents don’t know when I will return to China. I will give them a surprise then.
