Chapter 97 - Zoo (4)
“Look, Mom! It’s a tiger!” Looking at the tiger inside the cage, he lamented. “The tiger is so huge! Does he eat humans?”
“Of course, especially bad little kids,” said Shu Yan as she bobbed him on the tip of his nose.
“Hi, comrade, would you like to have your picture taken?” asked a worker of the zoo as he approached them.
Tianbao had no idea what a picture was just yet. Ye Jingjing, on the other hand, had seen the ones that w.a.n.g Yitong has. She turned shy and finally said, “Mom, I would like to have one.”
And that was the first time Jingjing had asked her for anything. Feeling touched, Shu Yan reached out and patted her on her head.
“How much for one?”
“$10 each. We take the picture now and you will be able to pick it up when you are on your way out.” His pad in hand, the worker was prepared to write out the invoice.
$10 each was not cheap, but it was a special occasion, so Shu Yan decided to just go for it. The three of them took a picture with the tiger and that was the first picture with the three of them together.
“Mom, I want a picture with the lions!” Now that he had figured out what a picture was, Ye Tianbao pointed at a lion and shouted.
“Okay.” Shu Yan nodded with alacrity. She then turned to Jingjing and said, “You can pick an animal that you like to take a picture with too.”
“Can I pick the panda then?” asked Ye Jingjing, her eyes lit up.
“Of course,” said Shu Yan with a smile.
After they had walked around the zoo once, they started getting a little tired. Shu Yan took the kids over to the resting area and bought three ice-creams.
“This is so tasty, Mom,” said Tianbao as he blinked at Shu Yan.
“Even so, you can only have one. If you have more, you will get an upset stomach.” Shu Yan knew what he meant by that. When he said it was tasty, he meant he wanted another one.
Tianbao lowered his head in disappointment. He had learned by now that when his Mom said no, there was no use rolling on the ground throwing a fit.
“Alright! Mom will take you to KFC later.” Shu Yan saw KFC when she first walked inside of the zoo. She was very surprised to have seen such a familiar name here.
Perhaps, because the author was from the same world as her, there were many things in this world that were very similar to that of hers, including some commonly seen brands. The author had borrowed their names and background directly from the real world. Since they weren’t mentioned a lot, readers didn’t always notice them. But now this was no longer a book to her, but the world that she was living in. One that has flesh, blood, and souls. Many things that weren’t mentioned by the author had also evolved here organically, such as KFC. It might have only been mentioned once or twice, and now they truly exist in this world.
“Mom, what is KFC?”
“They have lots of tasty food. You will like it.” Shu Yan liked it a lot when she was a kid. After she had graduated college and has had all sorts of take outs, she actually enjoyed regular home cooked meals more.
The kids liked KFC just like Shu Yan had expected, especially chicken wings and burgers. Both of them were stuffed. This being their first time, Shu Yan didn’t try to restrain them.
“Mom, will we come here again?” asked Ye Tianbao with antic.i.p.ation on their way back. Ye Jingjing didn’t say it out loud, but she also looked at Shu Yan with antic.i.p.ation.
“If you both are good, Mom will take you here again.”
After returning home happily, the two kids were still talking about what the animals were doing when they saw them in the zoo and even bickering about some silly details from time to time. Shu Yan’s lips curved upward. Looking at the pictures in her hand, she felt quite content with her current life.

Translator’s rambling:
Glad to know that should I ever transmigrate into a book, there will be yummy skewers, yummy dumplings, yummy noodles. Glad that most writers are foodies and there were no shortages of yummy food being mentioned in ReadNovelFulls. =D~~~
When this translator visited China (over 10 years ago), they had a chain (?) called Disco, which seemed to me like a KFC wannabe. I will be happy with either one. I am not that picky. =D
