Yu Jiu gave An'an autonomy. Yuan Yuan also wanted to say something, but he doesn't know many words yet. He can only say "daddy," "mommy," "sister," and simple words like "eat." He can walk, but he's stumbling and looks like he's about to fall. It will take some time before he can walk steadily.
"I want to go to the zoo to see the red pandas! Tingting said the zoo is so much fun, there are lots of little animals to see!"
As soon as Yu Jiu asked, little An'an immediately thought of the place she wanted to go. She had been wanting to go to the zoo for a long time, but her parents had never had time, so she hadn't said anything. Now that her parents were free, of course she wanted to go to the zoo!
"The zoo is fine, but we can't spend the whole day there, it's too tiring. Half a day is enough. We can go to the zoo in the morning, have lunch, and then where do we want to go in the afternoon?"
Since it was a trip to take the child out to play, it was natural to satisfy the child's wishes. So Yu Jiu readily agreed to An An's idea of going to the zoo, and then asked her to suggest a second place she wanted to go.
"I want to go to the amusement park this afternoon, the kind with slides and little cars to ride in!"
"It was only after arriving here that I realized there were so many fun places outside," said little An'an. "My classmates have been there many times, but I've never been. They all say it's so much fun."
"Okay, let's go to these two places first. If we're not too tired after we get back tomorrow, we can go out again the day after tomorrow. If we are tired, we can rest for a day and take you out to play again next time."
Yu Jiu pinched An An's little cheek and readily agreed.
"Play! Play!"
Little Yuanyuan clapped her hands and kept saying the word "play" as if she understood that they wanted to go to a fun place together.
Xu Zi tossed little Yuan Yuan up in the air and teased her a couple of times.
"Okay, okay, let's play! I'll take you to play!"
"I want to be lifted up high too, Daddy! I want to be lifted up high too!"
Xu Zijiang hadn't had time to play this kind of game with them for a long time. When An'an saw her father lift her younger brother up, she immediately rushed over excitedly and hugged Xu Zijiang's leg. She wanted to fly too!
"Okay, it's your turn."
Without saying a word, Xu Zi put Yuanyuan down, picked up An'an, tossed her into the air, and caught her. It was exciting and fun, and An'an was overjoyed.
"Hahaha! It's scary! But it's so much fun!"
Not to be outdone, little Yuanyuan stumbled over and grabbed Xu Zijiang's leg.
"Dad, Dad! Play!"
He had big, round eyes, fair and delicate cheeks, and a sweet and soft voice. When he acted coquettishly, he was even more charming than his sister.
"Wait, it's my turn! I want to play too, Yuanyuan, wait a minute!"
Yu Jiu pretended to be mischievous. She picked up Yuanyuan and put her aside, then rushed over and hugged Xu Zijiang, making him put An'an down. It was her turn.
"Okay, they're all my precious treasures, I can't leave any of them out!"
Xu Zi smiled slyly, put An An on the ground, picked up Yu Jiu in a princess carry, threw her up into the air, caught her and held her in his arms, then threw her up into the air again and caught her again.
"Hahaha, this is really fun! No wonder the two kids love it so much. Toss it higher!"
It's so exciting! Yu Jiu is having so much fun he can't stop, while little An An is lying on top of her younger brother, laughing at Yu Jiu.
"Mom, you're an adult now. You weigh much more than me and my brother. Dad can't throw you any higher."
"Nonsense! Your dad's so amazing, he can definitely do it, right, Xu Zijiang?"
Yu Jiu smiled and looked at Xu Zijiang, trying to provoke him. Xu Zijiang was only susceptible to provocation.
She immediately squatted down while holding Yu Jiu, then lifted Yu Jiu up with all her might, tossing her higher than before, and then caught her steadily.
“An’an, Mom is right.”
After doing all that, he looked at An'an with a seemingly calm but actually proud expression and said those words, which was incredibly pretentious and made Yu Jiu and An'an burst into laughter. Little Yuanyuan imitated him and laughed so hard that she bent over backwards, finally falling to the ground with a thud.
"Ouch, boohoo."
Little Yuanyuan hurt himself a bit from the fall. He rubbed his bouncy little bottom and frowned twice, then looked at Yu Jiu and Xu Zijiang, trying to express his grievance.
"You fell and hurt yourself, but it's okay. Be strong, Yuanyuan, get up on your own."
"Be strong, little brother! Keep going, get back on your feet!"
"Go, go, Yuanyuan, go!"
In the end, it even turned into cheering for little Yuan Yuan. Although little Yuan Yuan was confused, he did as he was told. He first put his hands on the ground, then stuck his bottom up, then slowly pulled his little hands back, and then with a burst of strength, lifted his head and stood up straight. He successfully stood up from the ground. The whole process was cute and adorable.
Just as he stood up, Huihui ran over again and accidentally bumped into Yuanyuan's shoulder, causing him to fall to the ground with a thud.
"Waaaaaah!"
This time, little Yuanyuan couldn't hold back anymore. He sat down on the ground and started crying, reaching out to Yu Jiu for a hug. Yu Jiu chuckled, got down from Xu Zijiang's arms, and went to hug him.
"Did Grey knock Yuan Yuan down? How could Grey do that? He's such a big dog, can't he even watch where he's going? It's okay, once Yuan Yuan eats more and grows up a bit, he won't be knocked down by Grey anymore."
"Mmm!"
Little Yuanyuan nodded vigorously. He would definitely eat more and grow taller so he could knock Huihui down!
The next day, Yu Jiu and Xu Zi each carried one child, put hats on An'an and Yuanyuan, packed water bottles, diapers, and other odds and ends, and then went out. They would be out all day, so they gave Aunt Wu a day off; today was their family's time to relax and have fun.
"Let's go, let's set off!"
Yu Jiu straightened Yuan Yuan's little straw hat, Xu Zi locked the door, and then the family of four set off to take the bus. The zoo was actually quite far from where they were; it would probably take more than an hour by bus. However, they left early; it was only 7 a.m., so even if they arrived, it would only be a little after 8 a.m., and there shouldn't be many people.
However, their predictions were somewhat wrong. The zoo was very lively, especially today being the weekend, with many adults bringing their children. There was a long queue just to buy tickets.
"I'm going to queue up to buy tickets. Honey, you take Yuanyuan and An'an and find a place to sit while I wait."
"good."
As more and more people arrived, Xu Zijiang and Yu Jiu didn't hesitate and divided the work. Xu Zijiang went to queue up, while Yu Jiu, carrying Yuanyuan and holding An'an's hand, walked to a large rock under the shade of a tree and sat down.
Yu Jiu unscrewed the water glass, took a sip himself first, and then asked An An if she wanted some.
"Yes, I want to drink water too."
"Drink water!"
Yuanyuan is her older sister's little shadow, and An'an is her mother's little shadow, so Yu Jiu chose to drink water first. When An'an saw her drink, she also said she wanted to drink. When Yuanyuan saw her older sister drink, she also wanted to drink. Yu Jiu was satisfied and fed water to both of them before putting the water away.
"I don't know if they sell food inside. I'm afraid you'll get hungry after you go in and won't be able to come out for a while. There is food sold outside. An'an, is there anything you want to eat? Mom will buy some for you to take inside."
Yu Jiu looked around and saw that there were vendors selling melon seeds, peanuts, popcorn, grilled sausages, sweet soup, and so on. She was getting a little hungry and suddenly wanted to eat a grilled sausage.
But she's an adult, how could she eat junk food? So she turned to ask An'an, her eyes sparkling, her tone coaxing.
"Honey, do you want some grilled sausage? If you do, Mommy will buy it for you!"
