Those Years I Opened a Zoo

Back then, Huang Qi was haunted by wronged souls and almost jumped off the cliff. Fortunately, she entered the Lingyuan Zoo at the bottom of the mountain and saved her life.Later, I stayed to work and left halfway, but in the end I chose to come back.

Over the past few years, Astragalus has been the mainstay of Lingyuan, and recently, he was officially appointed as the deputy director of the garden, which is well-received.Speaking of which, he, Duan Jiaze, a director and a deputy director, both studied their majors and became self-taught after working in this line of work.

In the past, Huang Qi had been doing outsourcing for her former company in her spare time. Because Lingyuan was getting bigger and bigger, Huang Qi thought twice and quit her part-time job.He was determined, so he devoted himself to this industry. From Huang Qi's point of view, Lingyuan has a good development prospect, and it can do even bigger in the future.

It was also because he had resigned from his part-time job. Duan Jiaze and him had a tacit understanding. Before, he wondered if Huang Qi would change careers again, but now he did not hesitate to promote Huang Qi, who had been in charge of a lot of work outside of his job.

Lingyuan is said to be a zoo, but it is also a company. It is constantly expanding, and there will be other industries in the future.Huang Qi, the "deputy director", is actually the vice president of the company. He believes that he will not regret it in the future, and the ceiling for Lingyuan's development is not low.

In the eyes of his colleagues, Huang Qi is also a legendary figure. After his girlfriend passed away, it is understandable for him to stay in the zoo for a year. Under the double pressure of work and life, he should rest and recuperate.But later, I really changed careers completely and went to work as a zoo, which is completely irrelevant.

Of course, there is only a "point" of legend. There are monks in their profession, let alone just changing careers.Besides, Lingyuan is now much more famous than when Huangqi first left, and he is also a leader in the industry, so it is not so difficult to understand.

Recently, two of Huang Qi's colleagues took their annual leave. They are a couple and they don't want to go too far. Donghai City is the most popular tourist destination in the province, so they came to Donghai together.

Huang Qi's two colleagues, one named Mo Zikai and the other named Hua Shi, used to play well with Huang Qi.How good is it, so good that when Huang Qi goes back to work, she is willing to share the bamboo shoots brought from Lingyuan with them.

When Mo Zikai and Hua Shi came to the East China Sea, they would definitely go to Lingyuan to see Huang Qi and the place where he worked. They had heard about this place for a long time.

Because Huangqi is there, they will pay more attention to any news they see. From time to time, this place is either on the news or is popular on Weibo, and the attention is quite high.

With such an old colleague around, Mo Zikai and Hua Shi certainly didn't need to buy tickets, not only did they not need to buy tickets for Lingyuan, they didn't need to buy tickets for Linshui Guan!

Huang Qi sent them two coupons. These days, it is enough to send an electronic code. Because Lingyuan is outside the city, they first visited the scenic spots in the city, and finally arrived at Lingyuan. Live here for two days.

Astragalus is in the circle of friends, but they always say how good the air in the East China Sea, especially Haijiao Mountain, is, and they have long been yearning for it.

After coming to the East China Sea, I also confirmed that although the old Donghai people always said that the seawater is polluted, it is still compared with myself, compared with other places, it is still much better, after all, it has not been developed for a long time.

Now, they became even more curious about Cape Mountain.

……

When Mo Zikai and Hua Shi arrived at the entrance of Lingyuan, they saw a cardboard erected at the entrance, announcing that the insect garden is open today, and everyone is welcome to visit for free.

When Hua Shi saw the effect picture above, she became excited. She was thinking about the Magpie Bridge, and asked Mo Zikai to squat to guard it. The couple came to Lingyuan together to see how the Magpie Bridge would work.However, the special design of the insect garden attracted Hua Shi, and now she decided to go to the insect garden first.

Because Astragalus reminded, come earlier than the peak time, the effect of taking pictures is better.Huashi has seen a lot of tourist photos and promotional photos here on the Internet, and wanted to take a photo, so she came here quite early.

Fortunately, they came early, and when there were many tourists, the insect garden was crowded.

The two of them came with their luggage and didn't go to the hotel. Huang Qi had already greeted them and left the luggage in the visitor center. Naturally, someone would drop by and bring them to the hotel reception, and pick them up when they checked in.

Once inside, Mo Zikai called Huang Qi.Originally they made an appointment that Huang Qi would come to accompany the two of them when they came. He set aside time on purpose, but who knew that Mo Zikai called, but Huang Qi said that he had something to do and told them to go shopping first, and he would come when he was done. .

"As expected of Lao Huang, he is so highly valued at the zoo, and he is so busy in the morning." Mo Zikai didn't care, "Then let's go shopping by ourselves first."

It was only after eight o'clock, the park had not been open for a long time, and there were not many tourists. Hua Shi took the lead and went to the insect garden according to the map.

When the two arrived at the Insect Garden, even though Mo Zikai had always been rough, he couldn't help exclaiming together with his girlfriend: "It's so beautiful!"

From the promotional pictures, they knew that the insect garden was a rare glass appearance, but after seeing the real thing, it was more vibrant.

If they didn't know it clearly, they would have thought it was a glass greenhouse. The walls were made of large pieces of glass, and the conical roof was entwined with strips of flower vines, covering the junctions of the pieces of glass so that it could be seen clearly. It looks "no flaws".

It is also through these transparent glass walls that one can clearly see that the interior is like a botanical garden.

In the insect garden full of Chinese style, various plants are planted, there are even small bridges and flowing water in the middle, and the moon gate made of bamboo slices is also covered with wisteria flowers.The spring flowers are all in bloom, and all of them are installed in a garden, but they are complicated but not complicated, and they are well decorated.

Although the open tour is only during the day, there is sunlight, but there are keepers working at night, so there are lights in the park.It's just that the chandeliers are also covered with flower vines, and you can't find that they are chandeliers unless you look carefully.

As an insect garden, the most important thing is various insects.In fact, as soon as Hua Shi entered the door, she could see two cages placed unequally on the left and right under the shade of flowers and trees.

These two cages are very large, as tall as a person, and they have the shape of a polygonal birdcage. Except for the glass, they are all wood—at least the appearance is wood, which is very delicate.

There is a light on the top of the cage, but it is not lit now, and it will only be turned on when the light is not good on rainy days or at night.Unlike the indoor pavilions, the daytime is also open.

There is a layer of soil at the bottom of the inside, with flowers, plants and even dwarf trees planted in different layers, or a bamboo shelf with vines and flowers wrapped around it, and there are also decorations such as sunken wood and stones. At first glance, it looks like a corner of a garden.

They echo the external scenery, and the whole is like a garden within a garden.Of course, there is also a feeding container inside, but it is more delicately made, and it will not make people play at all.

However, these are just backgrounds. The important thing is the colorful butterflies flying among them. They vary in size and can be classified according to the signs next to them.Against the background, these busy butterflies look even more beautiful.

Hua Shi almost lay down on the cage, and shouted to Mo Zikai, "Hurry up and take a picture of me—"

Holding up his mobile phone, Mo Zikai stared at Hua Shi for a long time, and suddenly said: "Why don't you get out of the way, I always feel that you ruined the picture."

Hua Shi: "..."

How harmonious the scenery behind here is, but there is Hua Shi wearing a long T-shirt and jeans, which makes him feel awkward no matter how he looks at it.

"You go!" Hua Shi took the phone back angrily, "You are not as good as a selfie stick, I don't know why I am blind to be with you."

Mo Zikai rubbed his nose and felt embarrassed to speak.

Looking further back, there are more cages on both sides of the path, not all of them are this big, and not all of them are in the shape of birdcages.According to the space required by different insects, some are only the size of an aquarium, and are held up high by a trunk-shaped base.

There are corresponding insects inside, but without exception, each cage is like a miniature garden.Large cages can use dwarf trees, and small cages such as boxes can use moss and dwarf plants.

This has led to the slow movement of the tourists. They not only look at the rare insects, but also visit their living environment.Even take a look at how they climb or fly in their habitat.

Even if some insects don't look very good, Hua Shi has no fear in such an environment.

She almost stopped to take pictures after walking a few meters, and as time went by, more and more tourists came in, making Hua Shi glad that she came early.

Otherwise, if you shoot a foreground now, there will be heads everywhere.

There are constant praises from tourists. This insect garden is designed by Zhu Feng as the chief designer. It is like the impression of a Chinese garden. There are scenery everywhere. Even if you change the angle, there are different scenery, which is worth pondering.

This insect garden is different from other pavilions, it allows visitors to stay here for a long time.The entire Lingyuan Zoo, except for the exhibition area where the Arctic Fox is located, may retain more people than the Giant Panda Pavilion.

Like Huashi, new tourists, especially girls, are also very happy to take pictures and group photos here. There are too many backgrounds here for them to like.

People keep coming in, but those who come in stay for a long time. It won't be long. On the first day of opening, the insect garden began to limit the flow of people. No entry is allowed, only exit is allowed.The tourists outside looked at the environment inside through the glass, full of resentment and urgency.

It can be seen that the zoo sent many employees to supervise for this day.There is no way, the environment here is so good, what if someone without quality destroys it?

There is a "broken window effect", which means that if a glass in a house is smashed, it won't take long for other glass to break.On a clean street, after a scrap of paper appears, it will soon be full of garbage everywhere.

People have a herd mentality, so strict supervision is required to prevent people who don't have this idea from being damaged when they see that others don't cherish them.

Fortunately, the quality of the Chinese people is getting higher and higher, and there is basically no one who picks flowers casually. Even if there are children with cheap hands, they will be stopped by their parents.

Normal people are reluctant to destroy such an environment.

The whole insect garden, needless to say, the most popular must be those butterflies.Cages of butterflies are scattered throughout the insect garden.

Every scene is different, there are a lot of them, and the interior environment design echoes the exterior. Although it is not so uniform in different places, the aesthetic feeling changes.Moreover, these designs will also take into account the characteristics of this type of butterfly.

For example, swallowtails and morpho butterflies are larger and colorful, and the plants planted inside and outside their cages will also be brighter and taller.The environment of nymphs and silk butterflies is more elegant.

Female compatriots like such high-value insects the most, and the most women gather around the butterfly cage, ranging from just walking to 99 years old, and their age does not affect their love for butterflies at all.

Hua Shi looked through every butterfly cage, and even tapped his hand on the glass. A swallowtail fluttered up and down, and suddenly flew to Hua Shi's fingertips—of course, it stopped here through the glass , as if he was very interested in Hua Shi's fingers.

Overjoyed, Hua Shi held her breath and took a photo.Immediately, the other butterflies seemed to have a herd mentality and gathered around one after another.

"Wow——" Hua Shi could hear other tourists cheering softly, and they were all staring at the curious butterflies.

Mo Zikai joked beside him: "I'm afraid you are not the reincarnation of Concubine Xiang."

Hua Shi rolled her eyes at him, and slowly retracted her fingers.

As Hua Shi's fingers withdrew, the swallowtail butterfly attached to it at the beginning also fluttered away, pulling and mobilizing the whole body. When it moved, other butterflies also flapped their wings and flew quickly, flapping away, causing tourists to their exclamations.

Looking at the envious eyes of other tourists, Hua Shi was not dissatisfied, and walked away pretending that nothing had happened.

"It's time for us to go out. We've been here for almost two hours." Mo Zikai looked at the time and said.

"All right." Hua Shi looked at the big "Flower House" lingeringly again, and said, "By the way, why Lao Huang hasn't come, you can ask him again."

Huang Qi said that he had something to do before, and came over after finishing his work. It has been two hours now, and there is still no movement on his side. He must be too busy, and they all suspect that they have been forgotten.

……

It was the time when the insect garden was the most crowded, and the two of them squeezed out, finally getting out.

At first glance, there are still many people waiting to go in. This is also because the insect garden looks quite large, but the plants and cages occupy a large part of the area.

Many of the queues were girls, and they were taking pictures outside while waiting. There are also many plants planted outside, and the environment is also very good.

Mo Zikai had lingering fears, these people were really not afraid of being crowded, if there were only so many people here when he came here before, no matter how beautiful he was, he would not have dared to go in.Not necessarily Hua Shi, she might still rush in.

After coming out, Mo Zikai took out his mobile phone and called Huang Qi, "Hey, Lao Huang, are you done with your work? We just came out of the insect garden."

Huang Qi: "Ah? Okay, I'll go find you now, I'm sorry..."

After about 5 minutes, Huang Qi drove over slowly in the small car used by the staff to patrol. Because there were tourists on the road, he drove more slowly.

Hua Shi saw Huang Qi from a distance, and pushed Mo Zikai, "Hey, look, is there a child?"

Mo Zikai narrowed his eyes, "It seems that there is a little girl sitting next to him."

The Astragalus car was getting closer, and the face of the little girl next to her became more and more clear. She was a very beautiful little loli, wearing a fairy-like white gauze skirt, with fair and tender skin. The fly in the ointment was that on her pretty face, There is a blue-black bruise, and some medicine has been applied on it.

When the Huangqi car came close, Hua Shi and Mo Zikai jumped up, and the three of them greeted each other, full of enthusiasm for reunion after a long absence.

"I thought you forgot about us!" Mo Zikai said with a smile, "Explain, is this an illegitimate daughter?"

Huang Qi said angrily: "Do you think I can give birth to such a beautiful daughter?"

This beautiful little girl is Yousu. Huang Qi touched Yousu's head and said, "Let me introduce you to Yousu. These are Brother Mo Zikai and Sister Huashi, my friends. This is the younger sister of my colleague. Lu Yousu."

When Yousu heard the word "Lu", his face turned green, but he still forced out a smile.

Of course, Mo Zikai and Hua Shi praised, "So cute, so beautiful... Why did you hurt your face, are you okay?"

Yousu continued to remain silent.

Huang Qi was also a little embarrassed, "It's a little accident, I was giving her medicine just now."

As soon as Huang Qi said it, he got angry. He felt that Brother Lu was always treating his sister too much. He couldn't stand it for an outsider, so he talked to the principal several times.How should I put it, the director and Lu Ya are also a family, and Yousu is also the director's sister, not to mention that Yousu has always trusted the director.

However, the director has been taking too much care recently, and he doesn't care about it recently. Once he even saw the director push Yousu!

How could this be possible? The principal didn't protect Yousu, and he learned from Lu Ya himself.

Also, they really didn't care about Yousu to such an extent that they never cared about Yousu's studies.Astragalus once asked Yousu, and found out that such a big child doesn't know what π is equal to!It is distressing!

Huang Qi did always remember that the head of the garden saved him, and Lu Ya had a strong aura. No one in the garden dared to provoke him, but he couldn't bear it anymore.When he was having breakfast today, he saw Lu Ya bullying Yousu again, and in a fit of anger, he quarreled with Lu Ya.

At that time, Lu Ya's face was very ugly, and the principal was also very embarrassed. He kept trying to persuade him to fight, but Huang Qi didn't care about it, so he took You Su to the medicine, and said that he should not go to class today if he had Su.

With such an injury, what class do you still have to teach?

However, these are other people's housework, so it's fine for Huang Qi to intervene, why would she tell Mo Zikai and the others.

After Huang Qi passed away, Mo Zikai and Hua Shi didn't ask any more questions. They were not ignorant of world affairs, so they could hear Huang Qi's avoidance.Hua Shi just teased the little girl, while Mo Zikai asked Huang Qi about his work.

Huang Qi satisfied their curiosity and talked about the work content of the zoo and some interesting things they encountered.

Many people's impressions of zoos are full of the smell of animal feces, but Lingyuan gives them a good impression, with a good environment and good development prospects, so they don't worry about Astragalus at all.

Astragalus deposits are enough, maybe the earning is not as good as before, but not necessarily in the future.

Huang Qi drove the car and took them to the restaurant for dinner. It was already past eleven o'clock, and there were already many diners, and all the good dishes were sold out.

At the dinner table, Hua Shi and Mo Zikai finally tasted the dishes praised by Huang Qi.

"Come on, you have Su, eat more." Hua Shi likes You Su so much. The most important thing is that she is beautiful. Hua Shi also wants to have such a beautiful daughter. She and Mo Zikai are going to get married soon up.This dish is so delicious, she still misses Su.

The employees of the general zoo call Su Xiaoxiaosu because they already have a "Little Su".Hua Shi and Mo Zikai didn't know Xiao Su, and they weren't that close to You Su, so they called her You Su.

Mo Zikai also said to Huang Qi: "You will come to our wedding when the time comes, and so will you. You're already thirty, don't you have any plans yet?"

As soon as this was mentioned, Huang Qi's smile faded, "Not yet, let's be busy."

Astragalus has a shadow!Thinking about his last girlfriend who committed suicide as soon as they broke up and still pestered him, he was really scared.

Fortunately, there is a director of the garden in Lingyuan, and so many Taoist priests come and go, there are absolutely no ghosts and ghosts.Otherwise, when he first came here, he wouldn't be able to sleep at night, let alone find a girlfriend.

"Get married early. I see that you have a lot of people coming and going here, and you have a lot of colleagues. If you have good ones, develop them. Once you get married, you will have a lovely daughter like Su." Mo Zikai looked at Yousu, and he also liked it. , "Look, how well-behaved this little girl is, she is very sensible at first glance."

Yousu smiled and said nothing.

When mentioning Yousu, Huang Qi said sadly: "It would be great if I had such a lovely daughter without getting married."

Yousu continued to smile.

Huang Qi thought, I hate that guy Lu Ya, he doesn't cherish having such a younger sister, and she always abuses children.

At this time, a few diners sat down at a nearby table.

"Hey, why isn't the one who came here to pay homage to the white fox here?"

"That's right, it's easy for us. After an hour's car ride, who knows that White Fox Fairy went for a physical examination today. It's really unlucky."

"Last time, I should have begged the Great Immortal not to go for a physical examination when he told us to come..."

"Hahahahahaha!"

After hearing this, Mo Zikai said curiously, "It's the legendary white fox fairy. I saw it on Weibo, and I want to see it."

Astragalus is now the deputy head of the garden, and he doesn't know about these trifles, which animal will not be there any day, "Well... anyway, you still have one night to stay, let's go see it tomorrow."

Everyone ate and chatted happily.

On the way, Su said to find some juice to drink, but Astragalus didn't care, what could happen with Su in Lingyuan.

He had a few drinks with Mo Zikai, and felt a little urgent to urinate, and then ran to the bathroom.But because there are many customers, there are also many people in the restroom. The men's restroom is okay, but the queue for the women's restroom is all the way to the door.

Even so, Huang Qi couldn't wait. Fortunately, he was an insider, so he just went to the internal bathroom.

Huang Qi washed her face in the bathroom, sobered up, and was wiping her face when she suddenly heard a familiar voice, which belonged to Duan Jiaze, who seemed to be outside.

"...What are you guys always pinching, you started chatting before I finished talking." Duan Jiaze was particularly helpless, "I was going to tell my classmates that we broke up, there is no need for you to pretend to be anything, you are too Got impatient."

Huang Qi drank some wine, but her mind hadn't turned around yet, she didn't understand what it meant, who was the director really talking to?

Immediately afterwards, Yousu's voice sounded, and he said aggrievedly: "I also kindly asked, if Daoist Lord wants to attend with you, there is no need to do it..."

Duan Jiaze said anxiously: "Hey, then what are you doing, let him see you and beat you again, and maybe someone will come over later."

Huang Qi subconsciously felt that the other person they were talking about was Lu Ya. Although the content was a bit strange, his drunken head could not turn too many turns.

When Astragalus left with Su in the morning, it can be said that he left in a huff. The main reason was that he had accumulated for a long time and suddenly exploded. Later, he felt that he had to talk to the head of the garden. Hearing the voice of the head of the garden, Huang Qi shook. Shaking his dizzy head, he walked out.

Coincidentally, it is better to hit the sun than choose the day, so let's do it now.

……

Huang Qi turned around, and at the end of the long empty corridor stood a man and a woman. The man was Duan Jiaze, his immediate boss. The corners of the eyes are extremely charming.

Even though Huang Qi was drunk, she was amazed.

He turned his mind slowly, looked to both sides, and said in a daze, "... Where is Su?"

Duan Jiaze: "..."
