Extra 3: Notes About Our Leisure Ti
I helped organize the Zhang familys annual party. Since we would have to pass through Shanghai after departing from Yangcheng Lake on our return trip, I had the sudden idea of taking the Zhang family mbers to Disneyland.
I had been thinking about how to be a good event organizer the whole ti and was at wit's end. We didnt have a good ti while eating at the crab restaurant I had selected (1). Moreover, they ate way too fast, so this activity didnt really feel like an activity. But it was also difficult for to explain how long it should take for people to eat crabs or what kind of mood they should be in when eating crabs.
After they finished eating, they were waiting to hear what the next activity would be. The atmosphere was very heavy, which made feel like they were actually a group of leaders who were testing my ability to receive people. So, I decided to take them to Disneyland.
After I brought them into the the park, I left them to their own devices. I went and squatted down near the shady jungle restaurant where all the exhausted rough guys had also gathered.
My ntality at the ti was: Ive brought the fresh-out-of-the-jungle Tarzan to the human world. Ive brought the T-Rex to Columbia City. I have to see what happens and let myself have so fun.
But the truth was that people from the Zhang family understood the ways of the world. Disneyland may have been a relatively unfamiliar place to them, but it didnt an that they didnt know what to do here.
I knew that I would definitely be rejected if I offered to show them around. I also knew that I definitely wouldnt have to organize next years annual party unless they still didnt have any inco by then.
I hoped they could either make enough money to organize annual parties themselves, or make enough money to leave Hangzhou.
After a long ti, I fell asleep in that cool, shady place. When I woke up, the fireworks display had just begun and Qianjun Wanmas clothes were draped over .
I stood up and found that there was already a different group of people around . Many children were already asleep at this ti and various strollers had been lined up next to . I cautiously left the area to go and watch the fireworks display.
I saw the people from the Zhang family in the crowd. Little Brother Zhang and Zhang Qianjun Wanma were wearing Mickey Mouse headbands and talking to each other. There was a little girl next to them who was also wearing a headband, but hers was the kind that glowed.
I turned my head to look for their patriarch in the crowd, but couldnt find him amid the flashing fireworks going off above us.
The end of the Hangzhou Archives first annual party was marked by the sound of the the parks paging system announcing a missing person.
