Married at First Sight Chapter 5064
“It’s just as good as any amusement park outside; it has all the rides kids like,”
Zeng Xiaoya laughed. “Poverty limits my imagination.”
While most people pay to go to amusement parks, the Zhan family built one for their children at home, allowing them to enjoy all sorts of rides without having to go outside.
“Playing every day gets boring; it’ll get stale. When the kids are a little older, we’ll take them to a horse farm to learn to ride. We need to give them something new and exciting.”
“Xiaoya, can you ride a horse?”
Zhan Yue asked her.
Zeng Xiaoya shook her head. “I can’t ride. Besides seeing horses on TV, the only other time I’ve been is to the zoo, but we rarely go. The adults in my family are too busy to take us.” ”
When we were little, if we wanted to go to the zoo, we had to wait a year, until Chinese New Year, when someone in the family had a day off, to take us there for a day. As we got older, our studies became more demanding, and we had even less time to go out and play.”
Zeng Xiaoya recalled her childhood. It seemed that studying was the only thing that mattered. It wasn’t that her family forced her to study; she studied voluntarily because she had a goal to strive for from a young age. She
knew that without studying hard, she would only drift further away from her goal.
Therefore, they all studied very hard, never needing parental supervision or tutoring, maintaining excellent grades through their own efforts.
Before meeting Zhan Yue, she thought that the childhoods of children from wealthy families were spent attending various classes and learning all sorts of arts, assuming that people from wealthy families were proficient in everything from music and chess to poetry and painting.
Those skills weren’t innate; they required day after day of hard practice to achieve mastery.
After meeting Zhan Yue and witnessing the Zhan family’s indulgence of their children, she realized they valued a balance between work and rest. They did arrange many studies for their children, but also gave them opportunities to play freely.
They would even play wildly with their children, so that when they grew up, their childhood memories would be filled with happiness, unlike hers, which was all about studying.Regarding the Zhan family’s rating, Zeng Xiaoya silently raised it to 90 points. This wasn’t the final rating; she would definitely continue to raise it later.
“Do you want to learn to ride horses? My family has a horse farm. If you want to learn, come to my horse farm, and I’ll teach you for free. Others charge hefty tuition fees,”
Zhan Yue laughed. “We’re neighbors now, and you’ve helped me so much. My grandma really likes you. I won’t charge you tuition; I’ll teach you to ride for free. How about it? Interested?”
“If you’re interested, we can go learn riding every time you’re on vacation,”
Zachary and Zhan Yichen exchanged glances, then looked at their eighth brother, silently walking away to watch the children play, not wanting to disturb his pursuit of a wife. Zeng Xiaoya
said, “Learning for free… I feel a little embarrassed. How about you charge some tuition?”
“Sure, I’ll give you a discount, less. Just tell me when you want to go, and I’ll take you there and personally teach you riding. My brothers are all good riders.” After all, they
had their own horse farm; learning riding would be easy for them.
“Do you want to go to the zoo? I’ll help my brother and sister-in-law take care of their kid sometime, and we’ll go to the zoo together. Do you want to come?”
“We’ll see. It’s hard to say right now; I can’t be sure when I’ll have time off.”
“Sure, whenever you’re free and want to go, let’s go together. My brother and sister-in-law often drag me to take care of their kid on weekends so they can go out on dates and enjoy their happy time together.”
“If I complain a bit, they’ll say, ‘It’s because I’m single, no wife, no kids, so I’m relegated to being a babysitter.'”
Zeng Xiaoya laughed. “Then you should hurry up and find a girl to marry, have a few kids, and then have your brother help you take care of them while you go on dates.”
