Global shock: You call this a zoo

Qindu.

Guanshan Town.

"Lao Li, what are you doing so early in the morning?"

The old man sitting in the doorway basking in the sun looked at the elderly man pushing a bicycle out of the courtyard next to him and asked with a smile.

"Old Qin!"

Lao Li pushed the old bicycle, looked up at the old guy at the door, and said hello.

"Xiao Zhao, call me Uncle Qin!"

There was a little boy about six years old sitting on the back seat of the bicycle, but the little boy seemed a little dull.

Just looking up at Uncle Qin, he quickly lowered his head, his body began to tremble, his face turned pale, and he kept picking his fingers.

It can be seen that the little boy seems very nervous.

"Oh, this child!"

Lao Li looked down at the child and sighed.

"Let's go, be careful on the road!"

Lao Qin waved his hand at him and asked with concern:

"Why don't you wait a little longer and let your child drive you there! This is still far from Hangzhou!"

"No!"

Lao Li got up and got on his bicycle, and rushed to his little grandson behind him and said:

"Xiao Zhao, hold on to grandpa and sit down!"

"gone!"

He nodded slightly, pedaled his bicycle and turned out of the village lane.

"Alas... what a miserable child!"

"How can you get depression if you are doing well?"

Uncle Qin slowly shook his head helplessly and sighed.

"Xiao Zhao, are you cold?"

"Can I take you to the zoo to see animals today? Don't you always like to watch animals on TV?"

"Grandpa, I took you to see animals today, and then go eat delicious food, okay?"

Lao Li pedaled the bicycle with great effort, and sweat began to drip from his forehead.

Along the way, Lao Li kept talking to his grandson behind him, but... the little man sitting behind him still lowered his head and didn't say a word.

Since his son and daughter-in-law passed away in a car accident, he has been living alone with his grandson. Although he also gets a pension every month, but... maybe the bad news of his parents' death has been too big a blow to the children. Xiao Zhao started from the age of 4

Then he suffered from what he saw as a mental illness, that is, depression.

The expensive medical bills not only left Lao Li breathless, but he also had to look after his children all the time.

Children with depression cannot go to school normally and can only stay at home every day.

Moreover... the child didn't say a word all day long, which made Lao Li feel even more distressed. He was really afraid that the child would do something extreme and hurt himself when he didn't see it.

How will a six-year-old child live his life from now on?

but……

By chance, Lao Li found that his grandson was standing in front of the TV and watching the robot animals playing on it, and his eyes gradually became a little brighter.

"H...H...dog!"

The child who had not smiled for a long time actually grinned that time. Although he had not smiled for a long time, his smile was a bit scary, but even so, it made Lao Li burst into tears of excitement.

Finally there is some hope.

From that time on, in addition to setting aside part of the medical expenses for the little one, Lao Li also saved money and went out to pick up some vegetables and the like every day, so that he could take the little one to the zoo once a week.

Recently I heard that the Qintian Zoo in Hangcheng had a new batch of ferocious animals, so I decided to take the little guy on a 2-hour ride to Hangcheng.

As long as the little one can smile today, everything will be worth it.

If my grandson can laugh, one day his depression will definitely be cured.

Seeing that my life is coming to an end day by day, and after experiencing the pain of losing a son to the white-haired man, the only thing I can't let go of is my grandson. Once I pass away, this little guy will look like this.

After going to the orphanage, what will happen in the future of life?

This problem has always been like a big mountain, weighing on his heart, and he can't breathe all day long.

All the way to the outskirts of Hangcheng, Lao Li parked his bicycle aside and stood on the ground holding the little guy.

Following the map I checked in advance, I slowly walked towards Qintian Zoo.

but……

When he came to the entrance of the zoo and looked at the closed Qintian Zoo, Lao Li held the coins in his hand and trembled slightly.

It was closed.

He and his grandson finally rode for two hours, and... he had promised the little guy that this place...

Lao Li smiled slightly at his grandson who was following him with dull eyes.

"Don't be afraid, the door will probably open soon. Grandpa will take you to buy some candy first, okay?"

Walking to the small stall opposite, Lao Li pointed at Qintian Zoo and asked:

"Hello, can I ask why the Qintian Zoo is not open today?"

"You're talking about this zoo!"

The female boss looked at the grandfather and grandson and said with a wry smile:

"I heard that this boss has broken the law and has been arrested. Alas..."

"I don't know if the zoo is still open. If it wasn't, my business would probably be ruined. If I had known better, I would have gone to the other side!"

"Caught?"

Lao Li's expression paused, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

Now... should I take my grandson back, or... ride another 4 hours to the zoo in Xiancheng?

For a time, Lao Li was also in trouble.

"Are you looking for a zoo? There is one across the street, and I heard it is quite popular recently...many people go there every day!"

“These are the only two zoos in Hangzhou, but the one opposite is quite small and doesn’t have many animal species!”

The female boss looked at the old man in front of her who was in trouble, and then looked at the little boy who was a little abnormal behind her, and said sympathetically:

“It’s really crowded recently, so it should be okay to bring your children.”

"Thank you!"

Lao Li quickly hugged the child, bypassed the traffic lights, and came to the entrance of the zoo opposite.

Looking at the dilapidated door, I hesitated.

The door is in such a dilapidated state, so... what animals could be inside?

It was hard to bring the little one out today, just in case...

"Xiao Zhao, can we just go to this one?"

Squatting in front of his grandson, Lao Li pulled the collar of his clothes and said with a smile.

Xiao Zhao raised his head and looked at the door in front of him, then lowered his head again with a pale face.

"Oh, this is the only one. I'm afraid I won't be able to keep up if I go to Xiancheng again."

Lao Li hesitated and led the little guy towards the ticket gate.

There was a young man with a fair face sitting at the ticket booth, who was constantly lowering his head and playing with his mobile phone.

"Young man, does a six-year-old child need to buy a ticket?"

"ah?"

Su Bai raised his head and looked at the grandfather and grandson in front of him, and quickly said with a smile:

"Children under six years old do not need to buy a ticket. Your grandson... just buy a ticket!"

"Then give me one!"

After hearing this, I immediately felt that this restaurant is not bad and I only need an adult ticket.

The money saved can be used to buy some delicious snacks for the little one in the evening.

"Slightly, slightly, slightly..."

When he was about to lead the little guy in, a little girl sat on a black and white bear and kept making faces at a group of monkeys riding tricycles behind her.

A group of children followed him, shouting and hurried past Lao Li.
