Over the next two days, Li Qiao continued to take her sister and brother-in-law around, visiting museums, the Royal Palace, and the zoo.
The children were thrilled to see orangutans, pandas, and more.
"Wow, Auntie Three, what's that? It looks so scary."
Li Qiao: "That's a crocodile, and it eats people, so you must never get close."
"With the fence in between, we can't get close anyway."
After the zoo, Li Qiao took them into a restaurant.
Li Jiaoyang said, "Qiaoqiao, you've been spending so much on us every day, won't Jin complain about you?" In the past, her concept of money was the hundred or so yuan saved at home, and in their village, they were already considered wealthy.
But Qiaoqiao had redefined her concept completely, her wallet stuffed full of large banknotes.
By her estimate, there were five or six hundred yuan in total.
The amount they had spent on food and other expenses in these two days, always in twos and threes, made her feel distressed just watching.
