After leaving the Giant Panda House, we returned to the spacious outdoor area of ​​the zoo. There were many children and parents.Tian Ruixin came out and looked at the three tall beauties hiding under the shade of a tree with a cute little girl, Ke Kailuo was giving Lingling water to drink, Lisa was flipping through the big bag of food, and Ai Ming was studying Park map, she ran over quickly, this group of people could not do without the guidance of her professional tour guide!

"Next, you can go to the children's animal area. There are alpacas, rabbits, and koalas. They are all nearby!" Rui Xin reported to everyone,

"Rabbit!" Hearing Lingling shout excitedly, she looked down and saw that it was Lisa who took out a box of apples carved in the shape of a bunny for Lingling to eat.

Ai Ming also bent down, grabbed a piece with his hand and ate it, "Mmm...very sweet!"

Lisa got up, took a small fork to sign the rabbit apple, and gave Kai Luo and Rui Xin a piece each. Looking at Ai Ming who was holding it directly, she had to wipe her hands after eating, she couldn't help but shook her head with a smile.Carol saw this,

"Wait a minute, I have wet wipes", she asked Rui Xin to take the uneaten apple, and tried to find it from her big bag.

"Does Lingling want another one?" Lisa knelt down and asked Lingling before she had eaten.The kid just finished eating her piece, shook his head obediently and said:

"I'll just eat one, thank you, Aunt Lisa." Rui Xin only thought that this demeanor of not eating too much... Could it be that she learned it from her mother?

Under the shade of the tree, there is another group of parents who are giving food to two children. One is still sitting in the stroller. The older brother waits patiently for the mother to give the water bottle to the younger sister first, looking very sensible.Rui Xin has almost no such experience: eating prepared fruit snacks outside, or adults caring for children like this.She only visited the zoo in Taipei with her classmates when she was studying, and she remembers being quite happy, but the impression is very vague.

"I don't think I've ever been to a zoo..." Sister Ai Ming, with her hips on her hips, looked at the park where people were coming and going, expressing her feelings.

"Really? Didn't I invite you to bring Lingling here?" Carol was using a wet tissue to help Lingling wipe her mouth. Before she got back her apple, Rui Xin wanted to help her eat it.

"Is there?" Ai Ming tilted his head,

"I remember that I brought Lingling here twice. This should be the third time." Carol flipped through the bag again, found the mirror and facial tissue, was checking her makeup, wiped her sweat,

"Didn't you come here when you were young?!" Lisa asked in surprise,

Rui Xin didn't answer, seeing Kai Luo wryly smiling and shaking her head at Lisa, she turned to look at herself, she quickly handed her the slice of apple to her, Kai Luo smiled gently at her.

Ai Ming squatted down, gently pinched Lingling's small face, "So it's the first time godmother has come to the zoo! Rindy, how many times have you come?"

Rindy thought seriously, "I've been to the zoo before!"

"Oh, you've been here before! Who did you come with?" Ai Ming held the little girl's hand in both hands, playing with her.

Carol lightly stroked Fu Ruixin's back, and said softly to her, "Why are you so familiar with the zoo? Did you do your homework yesterday?"

Rui Xin nodded with a smile.Look at the big bag Carol is carrying, it has everything, it must be heavy,

"Shall I help you with your backpack?" He said and pressed Kailo's shoulder, fearing that she would be sore again.

Kai Luo's sunglasses were still hanging on the baseball cap, her beautiful eyes looked at Rui Xin, and there were doubts, joy, and perhaps things that Rui Xin didn't know were hidden in the brown pupils.In the bustling park near noon, Tian Ruixin only felt a comfortable breeze blowing by, whether it was because of the shade of the trees or the gaze of his lover.

Lisa wanted to take back the fork with them, and Rui Xin escaped from Kailuo's charming eyes. Seeing that everyone was well, Kailuo said, "Then let's go see the rabbits?"

"Okay, the next stop is the children's animal zone!" Rui Xin said.Everyone nodded, Ai Ming and Lisa took Lingling and headed towards the children's animal area, Carol followed them with Rui Xin on her arm,

"Did we really have this place when we were young?" Amin turned to Carol and said, "I don't know what we did after class when we were young."

"I remember going to your house to play, it's close to the school." Carol recalled, she suddenly hugged Rui Xin tighter.Ruixin knew that Kailuo was concerned about her life experience, and she was afraid that this topic would make her sad. However, she didn't think her childhood was miserable. The nuns, volunteer mothers, and elder brothers and sisters in the reformation school were all very kind to them.She was surprised. Carol and Aiming had never been to the zoo with their parents. She didn't expect that they had so much in common.

In the cute animal area, there are white rabbits and tortoises. The most surprising ones are alpacas and llamas. These distinguished guests from South America are fluffy and have strange but cute looks; The hair is shaved and the hair on the head is left. It looks like a big sheep with a long neck and a big face.

"Godmother, its eyes are so big, and its eyelashes are so long!" Standing high on the railing, Xiao Lingling excitedly turned her head and said to Ai Ming who was holding her tightly,

"That's right... it seems like a sheep bleating... oh! It's coming!" A brown alpaca approached them, and Ai Ming turned her head in panic and asked for help.

"Rui Xin! Rui Xin! Will this bite?" Ai Ming said, hugging Lingling in fear and ready to retreat at any time, Lingling was very excited and stretched out her hand to touch this cute animal...

"No, but if they are angry, they may spit..." Rui Xin reminded, Ai Ming opened his eyes wide, as if he felt that spitting was terrible, and began to defend that cute brown sheep face.Ruixin thought this scene was very funny, and saw that sister Lisa next to her had already picked up her mobile phone to take a picture of Ai Ming and Lingling.

"While it's so close, let me take a photo with the alpaca for you? Carol and Rui Xin, would you like to come together?" Lisa held up her phone and turned to call them.

That's right, the opportunity is not lost, Rui Xin took Kai Luo and ran over,

"Baby, look at Aunt Lisa..." The little girl still stretched out her hand to touch the animal, and almost wanted to climb over the fence. Ai Ming quickly grabbed the little naughty girl, and her mother tried to stop her from climbing over the fence.

"Lingling! You can't grab the alpaca if it doesn't want to come over... Let's take a picture first, maybe it wants to take a photo with us too?" Listening to Kailuo coaxing her daughter, Rui thought, yes, who wouldn't want to be with the alpaca? A photo of the beauties...

It was already noon when we left the children's animal area. Ruixin hurriedly asked Lingling if she was hungry. The child stared at the cartoon stand at the entrance of the koala restaurant next door, and only pulled her to look down. Kailuo smiled at her Just like that, several adults were led into the koala pavilion by a five-year-old child.As a result, living up to the name of the happiest animal, the koala sleeps motionless in a tree.

"Mommy! Why does the koala keep sleeping and not moving...Is it sick?"

Carol glanced at the instructions on the display board, "Ah... it sleeps for 18 hours a day..."

"No, it's been sleeping all day long..." Carol said to her daughter, Rui Xin squatted on the railing with Lingling, nodding her head, this is the same as the information she found yesterday , and actually because koalas are picky eaters and only eat this unnutritious eucalyptus leaf, they are so groggy all day long.

Duan Xin felt that when Xiao Lingling walked out of the Koala Pavilion, she was not very happy, her little steps seemed to be sticking to the ground, a little heavy.I remember yesterday that I found out that the Koala House seemed to be more lively at two o'clock in the afternoon, and it was worth changing eucalyptus leaves. I should come back at that time... Rui Xin was annoyed.Kailuo looked back at the dejected Ruixin and Lingling, and came over to hug the child up,

"Lingling, are you hungry? Let's have dinner, shall we?" Carol asked softly,

The kid nodded silently.Ai Ming ran over from the side, "You want to eat? Are you going to eat? Yay!"

Rui Xin didn't know if it was because the food she had been carrying was too heavy, or because she was also very hungry, but she was so happy! Lisa went forward and found a group of empty tables on the roadside of the park, simple wooden tables and chairs, and one table was more than enough for five of them.

Carol sat with little Lingling on her lap and was distracting her by asking her what animals were in the children's animal section.The other three quickly opened the food boxes in the big bag one by one and arranged them on the table.It turns out that Lisa has prepared a lot of things: sandwiches, small burgers, pearl balls and siu mai; besides cut fruits, there are also boxes of fresh lettuce. Ruixin has never seen or imagined such a delicate and rich dish. "Picnic" content, while taking out tableware for everyone, Rui Xin marveled in her heart.

"Wow! What kind of picnic is this...Wow..." Carol looked up and realized that this meal was extraordinary.

Xiao Lingling also started to Wow in a similar manner, which made everyone laugh.

"Mommy, I want to eat that!" Lingling couldn't sit still excitedly, pointing to the biscuits made in the shape of animals.

"Okay, thank you Aunt Lisa first, she prepared these! Aunt Lisa is the chef!" Lisa smiled shyly, and gave the box of biscuits to the child. The child listened to her mother very well and thanked her sweetly. Aunt Lisa,

"Wow! There are elephants, rabbits, fish..." Lingling said pleasantly, just as she was about to reach for it, Kailuo took out a wet tissue and helped the child wipe her hands vigorously before letting her take it.

"You eat one first, and then you have to eat other things. Do you want to sit down by yourself, or sit with your mother?" The child was so excited that he couldn't sit still.

"Can I eat two?" Lingling took a rabbit first, and then asked her mother. Kailuo nodded, and she happily picked up the small fish. between.

"Everyone, why don't you take anything?" Ai Ming couldn't hide a bright smile on his face, and leaned over to ask them,

"It's so rich, I don't know where to start..." Rui Xin was still amazed, the sandwiches and small burgers in front of her were refreshing and delicate, and the Chinese-style siu mai and pearl balls must be very delicious.

"Let's get started! Lisa, thank you, you have taken so much trouble, it must have been prepared for a long time, right? Abby...can you help?" Carol said, first picked up a pearl ball with her chopsticks and put it on her plate, She asked Rui Xin with her eyes if she wanted one, and Rui Xin nodded happily.

"Of course! I ate everything yesterday. It's great..." Sister Ai Ming looked at her girlfriend happily and proudly.Sister Lisa pushed her shyly.

While Rui Xin was enjoying it, she was thinking about what she would cook... It seemed that she knew nothing but hot pot and the big pot noodles that she threw everything in to cook... It was terrible!She couldn't help but burst out laughing at the thought.After graduating from college, I moved out of the reformatory. Sometimes, in order to save money, I would cook food by myself. I just wanted to cook to fill my stomach and save time.Thinking of Kai Luo's home having such a beautiful kitchen now, it seems that he should come and learn to cook something, and maybe he can cook for her in the future.Seeing that Kai Luo was taking a napkin, carefully putting half of the small hamburger in and handing it to Lingling, asking her softly to try it, the appearance of her holding a small hamburger in her little hand and eating obediently was so cute.

"Lingling looks like her mother, so pretty." Lisa also sighed.

"Do you like children?" Aiming wiped his mouth, holding a carrot cut into a small stick in one hand.

"I like it..." She replied, while stretching out her hand, the bread crumbs that Ai Ming's sister had stained her cheeks were finally removed, "Why did you eat it here..."

Seeing Ai Ming nodding thoughtfully, Rui Xin thought about having a baby.Kailuo has Lingling, and she knows that she is happy and suffering for her. Kailuo has to give up Lingling because she chooses herself, which always makes her feel very guilty.Besides, she hadn't really given much thought to raising a child, or even having a child of her own.A family is always a distant dream for her, a dream she dare not dream of, but in fact, this dream is already very close to her, isn't it?Look at this table, isn't she in a happy family?This is the case today, so what if this dream can continue every day?Tian Ruixin discovered a topic that she had never thought about deeply, and planned to chew on it slowly.

After eating and clearing up, they went to see the monkeys. The big and small monkeys living in groups are very cute, and there seem to be many stories in them, and they stayed for a long time.Seeing that the closing time of the park was getting closer, Rui Xin decided to take the park train directly and take Lingling to see the giraffes and penguins in the innermost part.

"Maokong Cable Car Station? Can I take the cable car from here? To Maokong Mountain?" Ai Ming suddenly asked Rui Xin after getting on the train.

"Yes, there is a station in the zoo, just behind the penguin house we are going to." Rui Xin remembered that in the travel notes I read on the Internet yesterday, it was written that the cable car would reserve some vacant seats for this station.

"Yes... I kind of want to take the cable car..." Aiming suggested to the tour guide in a low voice,

"Okay, let's sit down directly after we finish watching, what do you all think?" Carol beside her heard this and asked Rui Xin and Lisa, everyone smiled and nodded,

"What is a lazy car? Is it a lazy car?" Xiao Lingling, who was sitting among them, asked Rui Xin suspiciously.

Both mother and Ai Ming couldn't help laughing, Rui Xin smiled lightly and put her arms around the child, "No, the cable car...it's a flying car!"

"Flying car?!" Xiao Lingling didn't want to dig into the name of the cable car, but her eyes sparkled when it came to flying cars.

"Like a bat-spoke car? Batman! Aunt Ruixin! I know the bat-spoke car!" said the child proudly.

"Really? What color is the bat-spoke car?" Rui Xin continued her words, she glanced at Kai Luo who was smiling at her, Xiao Lingling started chatting with her excitedly.

Before taking the cable car, they saw giraffes and penguins first.Ruixin was very impressed with the Penguin Pavilion at the Taipei Zoo before, and felt that she must bring her little Lingling to see it, and the huge but cute giraffe was also listed as a must-see animal by her.Sure enough, after seeing the giraffes on the side of the road and entering the Penguin Pavilion, the children were fascinated by the curious appearance of penguins walking, waving their wings and stretching their heads from time to time.Suddenly, a penguin led the way and slid down the pool. Both Ai Ming and Xiao Lingling yelled excitedly, and then plop, plop, and the other two followed suit.The cute penguins on the shore swam leisurely in the water and shuttled quickly and nimbly like fat bullets, which made both of them open their mouths.

"Ming, haven't you seen a penguin?" Lisa couldn't help asking her, seeing Ai Ming's unbelievable appearance.

"I don't think I've seen them swim... so flexible! It's completely different from being on the shore..." Ai Ming stared at the penguins intently.Xiao Lingling saw one of the penguins jumped onto the shore and stood up straight away. She screamed and giggled excitedly.Kai Luo hurriedly knelt down to ask her daughter to keep her voice down. The little girl who had put on long sleeves obediently covered her mouth, smiled and nodded.

Still unsatisfied, they heard the announcement broadcast in advance of closing the park, and followed the tourists to the outside of the museum. Some of them were going to take the cable car just like them.
