My family of four originally planned to visit the border town this summer, with a budget of 50,000 yuan. Our family is average, and this budget is the limit of our ability.
"Azhen, let's go on vacation in a quiet place, or how about a border town?" The air is good, the scenery is good, it is suitable to take the space and Xiaofang to relax.
Ah Zhen smiled and said: "Well, it just so happens that our family's little life is tight, it's good to go to a border town to play, there are only 50,000 yuan in the wallet, it's barely enough."
I nodded happily: "I'll see which border towns are suitable for vacation, book hotels and train tickets!" ”
Our son Yuhang is 7 years old this year, a lively and cheerful child, as soon as he heard that we were going to a border town, he said without saying a word that he wanted to go to Disney and must go to Disney.
"Dad, shall we go to Disney? I want to go roller coaster rides and see Mickey shows! Astronaut said coquettishly.
I said helplessly: "Son, Disney costs a lot of money, and we have 50,000 yuan for travel now, which is not enough to go to Disney."
"Dad, please, just this time, I promise to take you one after another when I grow up!" Astronaut begged.
"Astronaut, obedient, our family really doesn't have so much money to go to Disney, you can follow us to a border town for a few days."
The youngest daughter is only 3 years old, and she doesn't understand this yet, but she is just happy that the family is going out to play. Looking at my son looking disappointed, I felt very uncomfortable, this budget is indeed limited, it costs a lot to go to Disney, and disappointing children is the last thing parents want to see.
Just as our family was struggling with the question of where to go for the summer, I suddenly received a call from an old friend.
While our family was struggling with where to go for the summer, I got a call from an old friend who had opened an express hotel at Disney and that if I could help him get some publicity, he could offer a hotel room and some ticket deals.
"Hey, old Liu, I'm Lin Hai, how have you been doing lately?" The voice of Old Liu on the other end of the phone rang.
I said in surprise: "Old Liu, long time no see!" My family is preparing to go out for the summer. ”
"Is it? It just so happens that I have an express hotel at Disney, and if you come here to play, you can stay with me, and I can get a few tickets for you at a discounted price.
"Really fake? My son is pestering to go to Disney, if you say so, the problem is solved! I said happily.
So I told my family the news, and Aerospace was very happy, and hurriedly said that I must go to Disney.
"Hey, Azhen, Lao Liu said that he could get us cheap hotels and tickets at Disney!" I said excitedly to my wife.
"Really? Great, this time astronaut's wish can come true! The wife smiled too.
"Mom and Dad, let's go book tickets now!" Astronaut begged.
I smiled and nodded: "Good boy, if you are happy!" Daddy booked the tickets! ”
I didn't expect the opportunity to come so quickly, and it seems that our family can finally achieve this careful wish. The wife also smiled and nodded, she always knew that astronaut's careful wish was to go to Disney once.
After booking the plane and hotel, our family happily boarded the train to Disney. Astronaut looked at the scenery passing by the window, always with a happy smile on his face.
"Dad, our trip is the happiest in my life!" Astronaut said happily.
I smiled and rubbed his hair: "Son, this is just the beginning, there will be more happy trips in the future."
"Dad, shall we play this first?" Astronaut pointed to the roller coaster and jumped to the top.
I was a little afraid of exciting projects, but seeing him so excited, I had to accompany him to it. The roller coaster was so fast that I was so dizzy that my legs went a little soft when I came down.
After that, we played with carousels, rotating teacups and other items, and I almost threw up, but the child still didn't look like he was having enough fun.
She sat on the carousel, smiling and moaning happily.
Watching our two children having fun, my wife and I were exhausted but content.
"The most important thing is that the children have fun, and we are fine." The wife said gently.
I smiled and nodded, "yes, seeing them happy, we're tired too." ”
In the evening we stayed at an old friend's express hotel, although the conditions were basic, but it was better than family and friends. The next day we continued to play, playing all day, and at night we were very tired and everyone slept soundly.
Just as we were planning to continue the tour on the third day, we suddenly received a call from the hotel owner, saying that he had a plumbing problem here and had to be temporarily closed for a few days for repairs, and I was afraid that the hotel room could not be provided.
"Hey, Lao Liu, what's going on with you? We're going to stay with you for a few days! I asked anxiously.
"I'm really sorry brother, our hotel suddenly burst the pipe, we have to close for a few days to repair, you have to find another source."
I was helpless: "Then where does our whole family live?" It's not familiar here. ”
"You can ask for blessings for yourself, I really can't help it here, I'm very sorry!" Lao Liu hung up the phone after speaking.
Sweating on my forehead, I said to my wife, "There is a problem on Lao Liu's side, so we can only find a place to live by ourselves." ”
"Huh? So unlucky, why don't you go home first? "The wife is also anxious.
"No, the ticket has been bought, let's find a cheaper hotel to make do." I say.
In desperation, we had to check out early and leave. I started to buy a return ticket again, and found that the return ticket had increased to two or three times the usual amount, and as long as this happened, the cost of our trip would exceed the budget.
My wife saw me frowning and reassuring me that even if it cost more, it was worth it, and the most important thing was that the children had fun.
Finally, we found a cheap and cheap hotel that could barely stay.
Although we have exceeded our travel budget in a short period of time, I am also relieved to see that the children are still happy.
After checking into the new hotel, Aerospace still looked elated, pulling me out to play.
"Dad, shall we go play on the Dragon Swan Boat?" Astronaut's eyes are shining.
I smiled and said, "Okay, dad is a little tired today, you and mom go play, I'll take a break here." ”
"That's okay, I can do it alone!" Astronaut said without mind.
I looked at his happy back, and felt in my heart that this child is finally much more cheerful now, and he was too shy to go out alone before.
At noon, my wife and I waited under the dragon swan boat to pick up the children. I saw the two children walking hand in hand and walking lightly, with a happy blush on their faces.
"Mom and Dad, just now the swan boat is so fun, like a fairy tale world!" Astronaut said happily.
My wife and I looked at each other and smiled, and our son's joy was infectious. The warmth of this moment made the journey worth the ups and downs.
In the evening, we went back to the hotel to eat, although it was not as lively as the old Liu's house last night, but the family was also satisfied to eat at a small table.
The next day we were ready to return home. Sitting on the train, I looked at the receding scenery outside the window, remembered the bits and pieces of the past few days, and couldn't help but smile.
