"Look at the peacocks!"
"No, that's an ostrich! Peacocks spread their tails, but ostriches don't!"
Several children were chattering away, as were other kids. The zoo was basically full of parents with their children, and they were making a lot of noise.
Aunt Wu came over and asked.
"How much is the zoo ticket? I'll give you the money, Xiao Yu. We don't want to take advantage of you."
"It's alright, we asked you to come. I should have paid for your ticket anyway. It won't cost much for a little girl like Yueyue. I'll pay for this ticket. You can pay for Yueyue's ticket when we get to the amusement park."
Yu Jiu wasn't stingy, so she didn't take the money. She just asked Aunt Wu to pay for the amusement park rides later. After all, given how much An'an loved the amusement park, she would ride each ride 8 or 10 times. If Yueyue were to do the same, it would indeed cost a lot of money.
"good."
Aunt Wu knew that Yu Jiu was generous, so she didn't argue with her and quickly went to look after the children.
Yu Jiu had Aunt Wu hold Yuan Yuan, while she held An An and Gou Dan's hands, and Yue Yue held An An's hand. The group squeezed in to see the ostriches first, and then, just like last time, they went to see them one by one.
Although there were many people, Yu Jiu was a little worried about the children, but fortunately they got through it safely and arrived at the panda viewing area. This place was just a simple queue, no need to squeeze in, and you couldn't get in anyway, so it was a little safer than before.
"Finally I can rest for a while, I'm exhausted."
Yu Jiu sat down on the ground with the two children, and Zhang Yan burst out laughing.
"What? What are you laughing at? It's not like you've never sat on the ground before. Hurry up, you guys sit down too, don't just stand there like idiots, it'll tire you out."
Yu Jiu was puzzled by her laughter, but still asked her to sit down first.
“We have sat on the ground, but you might not. You rarely act so unkempt. In the countryside, you always have to be clean and tidy. You're never this disheveled.”
Zhang Yan also sat down, but still teased Yu Jiu for a while.
"Really? I don't think I'm particular about these things at all. I've never even noticed them."
Yu Jiu was somewhat surprised, and she heard a different version of herself from Zhang Yan.
"If your clothes are even a little dirty, change them right away. You should never sit on the ground unless absolutely necessary. When you eat, you should wash the vegetables and cook several times before you dare to eat them."
"You're not being polite about this?"
Zhang Yan recounted Yu Jiu's behavior in detail, but Yu Jiu thought it was all normal and didn't find it strange.
"Anyway, as long as I'm comfortable, that's fine. Even if I'm a bit particular, as you said, I only do that when I'm free. Look, I'm so tired now, so I just sat on the floor. We sat on the floor last time we came here too."
Yu Jiu shrugged and let the matter drop.
The group chatted and ate while waiting in line for the pandas, so it wasn't too uncomfortable. After watching the pandas, it was almost 1 a.m. Yu Jiu quickly took them to the small restaurant where they had eaten last time and ordered several dishes, all of which were children's favorites.
Five children would generally be quite noisy, with one saying one thing and the other saying another. However, two of their children couldn't speak clearly, while the rest were relatively well-behaved, so they didn't disturb the other diners. After finishing their meal and sitting for a while, Yu Jiu took them to the amusement park.
You don't need to buy a ticket to enter the amusement park, but you have to buy a ticket for each ride.
“Let’s ride them one by one and experience them. An’an initially liked the carousel the most, but then she found the mini train was more exciting, so she liked that one more. However, children under three years old cannot ride the mini train, so Yuanyuan and Gouzaizi can’t go on.”
"That's alright, I'll hold the two little ones, you can take them to sit later."
Zhang Yan casually remarked that they were adults and didn't particularly like these things.
"We'll take turns carrying her, so An'an will definitely ride more than once."
"We've arrived at the carousel. Let's ride it once first, and then we can buy new tickets if we want to ride it again."
Yu Jiu led everyone to line up. When it was their turn, she bought tickets for everyone except Aunt Wu and Yueyue, so that everyone could go up and sit.
"An'an, Gou Dan, remember to hold on tight, or I'll bring Yuan Yuan and sit with you."
Even after An'an sat down, Yu Jiu was still a little worried. Last time, An'an was also accompanied by them, with her and Xu Zi each holding one of her.
"It's okay, this carousel isn't going very fast. As long as the kids don't move around too much, they won't get thrown off."
The boss chimed in from the side.
"Yes, Mom, it's too crowded for three people to sit together. I want to sit by myself. I can manage!"
"I can too!"
An'an and Gou Dan refused to squeeze in with the adults, so Yu Jiu had to give up. Aunt Wu also bought a ticket, but she didn't sit herself; she just let Yueyue sit there.
"It's starting to spin, everyone hurry up!"
The owner gave a reminder, and then the carousel slowly started moving, gradually increasing in speed as it went round and round. People sitting on the carousel felt like they were flying, but they could hold on to the railings in front of them, so the danger was not high. The carousel was set to stop after 5 minutes.
"This is so much fun! I want to ride it again! I want to ride it again!"
"Mom, I want to sit too!"
"I don't want to go down!"
The children started making a fuss and refused to get down, and in the end, their parents had to forcibly carry them away. Yu Jiu saw that An'an and Gou Dan were both very excited, so she told them to sit still and didn't let them get down. Then she took Yuan Yuan down herself and bought them three more tickets.
"Mommy, play! Play with this!"
Yuanyuan excitedly pointed ahead.
Yu Jiu brought Yuan Yuan downstairs and was too lazy to go back up. She hadn't wanted to ride it, but Yuan Yuan clearly liked it too. He pointed to the carousel and said he wanted to go on it, so Yu Jiu had no choice but to accompany the child. She bought three tickets for herself and Yuan Yuan and went back up.
Aunt Wu was reluctant to let the child sit there again. It cost two cents each time, and once was enough. So she let Yueyue get down and stand with her downstairs until Yu Jiu and the others finished playing.
Yu Jiu and the others were having so much fun that they didn't think it was appropriate. After doing it three more times, she and Yuan Yuan were both dizzy, and Zhang Yan and Gou Zaizi couldn't take it anymore either. Only An An and Gou Dan remained as excited as ever.
Zhang Yan came down and tried to pull Gou Dan down as well.
"You've played this so many times already, you're not allowed to play anymore!"
"No, no, just one last time, please, Mom! Aunt Yu~~~"
Gou Dan clung to the pillar and refused to come down. Just as Zhang Yan's slap was about to land on him, Yu Jiu chuckled and stopped her.
"It's okay, let's play one more time. An'an wants to play again too. After we play once, we'll go to the next attraction. The roller coaster there is even more fun, and there are slides and other things we can play on. Then we'll go home."
"Okay! That's the last time, I promise I'll listen!"
"I'll be obedient too!"
An'an nodded hurriedly.
"You just spoil them. If it were me, I'd slap them twice."
