Chapter 553: Accompanying the Beauty and Receiving Three Boxes

Han Li talked for a long time, but Han's mother didn't agree with what he said, but Han's father seemed a little moved.

"Brother, who is giving you something today? Is it our classmates? Or is it the friend over there who jumped in line?"

After Han Li heard Xiaomei Han bring up this topic, he told everyone about translation, and finally asked them about their studies this year.

As a result, as soon as Han Li said these words, Second Sister Han and Young Sister Han all had a trace of embarrassment on their faces, while Mother Han said in a tone of disgust.

"I get angry when I talk about this. These two girls haven't read a book a few times since you returned to Northeast China. Most of the time they listen to the radio, they just listen to storytelling, songs, and talk about those letters..."

Upon seeing this, Han Li and the others quickly changed the topic and then finished their meal quietly.

After all his family members left for work, Han Li lay lazily on the bed and watched them finish their housework. Then he picked up English textbooks and looked through them, asking Han Li for pronunciation of some words from time to time.

It wasn't until the dogs in the yard started biting that it turned out that Gong Jianglong had arrived carrying some works that needed to be translated.

"Brother Gong is here, hurry up and sit inside."

"Brother Han, I won't go in. You can't leave people at the chief's side for a long time. The materials in the library have been processed. These are some literary works I helped you choose. The number of words in these works is enough for you to succeed. Promoted to translator."

The literary works were good, and it was easier to translate them. When Han Li saw that Gong Jianglong refused to come in, he called Yun Yingying and brought him a bag of pine nuts to relieve his boredom.

After sending Gong Jianglong away, Han Li put the works in the house and took the four of them out to visit the scenic spots.

Since neither He Mi nor Qi Zhaodi could ride a bicycle, Han Li could only take He Mi, and Yun Jingjing and Yun Yingying took the shift to take Qi Zhaodi.

The group of them rode bicycles all the way to the west. Their destination this time was the Sijiucheng Zoo.

.

The Sijiucheng Zoo was built in 1906. It was originally an "agricultural testing ground" planned to be established by the puppet government.

Later, the Demon Queen named Na Buddha ordered that all kinds of birds and beasts from all over the world be selected and raised and displayed for her to watch, and then named it "Ten Thousand Animals Garden".

It wasn't until 1907 that the Demon Queen got tired of playing. There are also folk legends that she was frightened by the tiger inside, so the Ten Thousand Animal Park was officially opened to the public on July 19 of that year.

At that time, the entrance fee was 20 copper dollars, and the price was half for children and followers. Male and female tourists could enter the park on single or double days.

Later, the Japanese occupied Sijiu City and ordered that all excess animals here be disposed of before their defeat.

When our country established and took over this "Ten Thousand Animals Park", there were only 13 monkeys, 3 parrots and 1 blind bird in it. In the same year, it was renamed "Xijiao Park".

On March 1, 1950, Xijiao Park was officially opened to the public after simple decoration.

At first, the animal species in the zoo were relatively scarce. Later, through state purchases and gifts from leaders of many countries, the species in the zoo gradually became richer.

In 1952, the country gave three horses that the commanders had ridden during the war years, such as Chrysanthemum Green, Big Red Mule, and Iron Green Horse, to the zoo for breeding and exhibition, and also transferred the historical data of the three war horses to the zoo for exhibition. publicity.

Later, the country invested a lot of manpower and material resources to build many animal houses, sent people to many countries to learn relevant breeding experience, and hired many foreign experts to provide guidance.

On April 1, 1955, Xijiao Park was officially renamed "Sijiucheng Zoo".

The "national treasure" giant panda was first exhibited in the park in 1955, and was successfully bred here for the first time in 1963.

The zoo at that time was the best zoo in the future and for a long time in the future. It not only had giant pandas, but also golden monkeys, black swans, red-crowned cranes, white rhinoceros, sables, white-lipped deer, and even South China tigers. Others were just ordinary. Not to mention animals.

At the same time, it became one of the best places in that era for people to visit the Four-Nine City, where men and women could go on a date, and spend time with their families and children.

The buildings inside include the Elephant Room, Lion Room, Black and White Bear Mountain, Monkey Mountain, Raptor Pen, Waterfowl Lake, Songbird Room, Grassland Animal Garden, Liger Mountain, Hippo Hall, Rhino Hall, Panda Hall, Giraffe Hall and Amphibians and Reptiles pavilion.

Although those buildings look a bit crude, they do not have the sense of isolation blocked by glass walls, allowing people to watch these animals more directly.

Can..

However, after restoration in recent years, there are already tigers, bears, lions, wolves, peacocks, giraffes, monkeys, waterfowl, and many other animals that can be viewed here.

It takes more than half a day to walk around inside, and the entrance fee is only three to five cents. Overall, visiting the zoo is a very cost-effective thing.

In fact, this was indeed the case. Han Li and his party stayed in front of the Monkey Mountain for more than half an hour. The reason was that the girls were watching the strange actions of various monkeys, using the pine nuts they picked up at home or bought at the door. Rice flowers tease them.

Han Li accompanied him with a smile. In fact, he was thinking that it was difficult for monkeys to survive in the Northeast. He wanted to get a monkey to take with him, but he would definitely get a few after he returned to the city from the Northeast. When a monkey comes home, these monkeys will definitely become the most qualified nannies and cleaners in their home after being mastered by elementary animal control skills.

After coming out of the Monkey Mountain, they stayed here for a full hour and a half to wait for the peacock to spread its feathers.

The giraffe also attracted He Mi and her friends to stay for a long time. As for the animal pavilions such as wolves, tigers, bears, and waterfowl, they did not stay much. Even so, they did not finish seeing all of them when the zoo closed.

The next day, Han Li and his party went to the Summer Palace to row a boat and looked at the dilapidated Yuanmingyuan, where people were still moving bricks. In this way, another whole day passed.

On the third day, they took food to Xiangshan to see the tail of the red leaves and had a picnic here.

On the fourth day, Han Li took them to the holy place "Ditan Park" where they had fought in those years. On the way back, they visited the former Russian embassy from the outside near Dongzhimen.

Then they went south to Sanlitun to look at the embassies of other countries that had been built or were under construction, and from here they went to the Workers' Stadium, which has half of my country's sports history.

Finally, they went through Beihai from Jingshan Park to see the quadrangle that almost belonged to him, and then returned home. After the accumulation of the past few days, they were all exhausted and said that they would not go out for a walk tomorrow.

On the fifth day, after Han Li and his family members all went to work, he asked a few people to rest at home, and he figured out the time and came to the Huode Zhenjun Temple on the east side of the lake. However, there are no signs or incense burners here now, and the whole has become a large courtyard with many families living in it.

The Fire God Hall, the Three Officials Hall, the Zhenwu Hall, the Lingguan Hall, the Yinghuo Hall, the Dou Mu Pavilion, the Jade Emperor Pavilion, and many places where Taoist priests and Taoist children originally lived have been divided into many families.

There is no quiet, clean, and solemn Taoist temple here now. There are all kinds of sundries piled up in the yard, under the eaves, and in the corridors.

Han Li stretched out his mental power as soon as he came in. Before he reached the place marked on the map, he had found what he was looking for.

In front of the Fire God Hall, the huge incense burner should be placed. About five meters below, there is a mini stone house made of stone, or it would be more appropriate to call it a large stone box.

There are three wooden boxes in it. I don’t know how the stone house is moisture-proof. The wooden boxes inside basically have no signs of decay. After Han Li found the things, he didn’t hesitate. He put them into the decomposition space directly with a thought. When he turned around and left, he saw an old lady looking at him and muttered a few words.

"I haven't been back for several years and I'm dizzy. I took the original Huode Zhenjun Temple as the Silkworm Hall. I took this wrong road."

Han Li left here muttering. As for what was in the three big boxes, he didn't care at all. Anyway, he had the things in his hands. He would wash his hands and open a blind box when he had nothing to do next time.

For a period of time, Han Li entered the translation career. In the middle, he was called out by his childhood friend Xiao Yu Daqiang for a meal. Except for getting up early to practice boxing, he basically didn't go out much.

He Mi and Qi Zhaodi had enough of shopping. Recently, they have been studying, cleaning the house, studying, playing chess, playing cards, and cooking. He Mi also altered clothes for Han's father, mother, second sister, and younger sister.

Qi Zhaodi started to prepare the "mother water" for deep-water vegetables and boiling water vegetables at home, and asked Han Li to buy a lot of ingredients suitable for deep-water vegetables, such as chicken feet, pig ears, and bean curd sheets.

This morning, when Han's mother left for work, she gave the task of pulling cabbage, radish, and coal briquettes to them. The five of them pulled a borrowed cart and ran two and a half trips to get it done.

This time, Qi Zhaodi had something to do. She was busy with scalding the vat, picking vegetables, washing vegetables, and pickling for three days before she finished.

However, at this time, a jeep came into Mianhua Hutong, and the person sitting in the car was "Aunt Liu" who had dealt with Han Li last year.

Han Li was translating documents when he heard the sound of the car. He didn't care at first, but who knew that the car stopped at the door of his street, and then there was a knock on the door.

"Is Xiao Han home?"
