Chapter 53- 54

　　Chapter 53

　　The second day after Mu Qiong took a bath was Sunday.

　　Ping An Middle School does not go to school on Sundays, so he also has a day off.

　　Having received a large amount of money again, Mu Qiong plans to take Zhu Wanwan and Mu Changyu out to play again. It just opened in August this year. At this time, the most famous amusement park in Shanghai, New World Amusement Park.

　　When he was reading some books of this period in modern times, he had seen the New World Amusement Park. After coming here, he heard a lot of people talking about it, and he was very curious about it.

　　New World Amusement Park is the first reinforced concrete house in Shanghai. It is equivalent to a modern large-scale indoor playground. You can stay in it for a day if you buy a ticket. Inside, there are opera, song and dance, drama, acrobatics, magic... Everything you need.

　　Before Mu Qiong went, he specifically asked Sheng Chaohui who had been there before. According to what Sheng Chaohui said, it was very interesting there. If you don't go, your life will be in vain.

　　Sheng Chaohui admired the New World Playground so much, so he would go there no matter what.

　　Early in the morning, Mu Qiong took Zhu Wanwan and Mu Changyu out.

　　He called two rickshaws, one took him, and the other took Zhu Wanwan and Mu Changyu to the gate of the New World Playground.

　　He thought they were early, but he didn't expect that there were already many people waiting in line to get in.

　　Tickets cost 20 cents a piece. Mu Qiong bought three tickets for 60 cents, and walked in with Zhu Wanwan and Mu Changyu. As soon as they entered, they saw several distorting mirrors.

　　Some of these mirrors can make people thinner, while others can make people fatter. Anyway, the figures in the mirror are all distorted.

　　This kind of mirror is not uncommon in modern times, and Mu Qiong didn't notice it, but Zhu Wanwan and Mu Changyu were shocked.

　　"Brother, what is this?" Mu Changyu held back Mu Qiong who wanted to go inside.

　　"This is a distorting mirror." Mu Qiong explained the principle to her.

　　After listening to the explanation, Mu Changyu couldn't stop looking at it, reluctant to leave.

　　And like her, there are many children who are reluctant to leave. These children surround several mirrors, even if their parents urge them in every possible way, they refuse to leave.

　　Mu Qiong didn't urge him, since Mu Changyu wanted to see it, he just waited beside him.

　　Mu Changyu looked in the mirror for a full ten minutes before giving up, and continued walking in with Mu Qiong.

　　In the New World Playground, the most popular ones are the stage. There are not only people singing Yue opera, but also Peking opera and so on. Zhu Wanwan and Mu Changyu are dazzled.

　　As for Mu Qiong, he prefers all kinds of food inside.

　　There are many types of food here, and they all look delicious. Although they are more expensive than outside, he still wants to try everything.

　　Of course, this is mainly because...he really has no interest in those operas.

　　Zhu Wanwan and Mu Changyu were going to watch a Yue opera, and Mu Qiong followed them in, and while watching the opera, they ate mooncakes with dried plums.
