Chapter 365 New Year's Eve

On the morning of New Year's Eve, Xihong Zoo was still bustling.

The faces of both tourists and employees in the zoo were filled with joy from the bottom of their hearts.

The various small activities held in the zoo also sublimated this joy.

Among these small activities, the most eye-catching one is the huge rabbit lamp standing at the entrance of the zoo.

All tourists can't help but express the same admiration when they see this giant rabbit lamp.

"Hey! This rabbit is so ugly!"

"It's outrageous. The rabbits in other cities are either cute or playful, but why are ours in Ningnan so ugly?"

"If you hadn't told me it was a rabbit, I would have thought it was some alien creature."

"I don't know which rabbit sculpture is the best looking among the ones posted by netizens from all over the country, but the ugliest one is definitely the one in Xihong Zoo."

"Rounding off, it can be considered that we have won the first place for Ningnan."

"Director Yang, come out and get beaten. Who ordered this rabbit lamp? Why is it so ugly?"

"Director Yang is over there. I'll show you the way."

.....

While a group of tourists were lamenting the ugliness of the rabbit lamps displayed by Xihong Zoo this time, Yang Lin, the director of the zoo, was holding a special ceremony on the small square of the zoo.

Before the ceremony began, a large number of curious tourists had already gathered.

"Zodiac handover ceremony? What does it mean?"

"Is there any need to guess? It must be the handover between the tiger and the rabbit."

"Look, Director Yang is holding the little tiger."

.....

Under the gaze of countless tourists, Yang Lin, holding the little white tiger Da Mi, walked up from one side of the stage.

And on the other side of the stage came a keeper holding a white rabbit.

When the two met in the middle of the stage, a roll of red handover documents was opened in front of them.

"Dear tourists, today is the last day of the Year of the Tiger. After twelve o'clock tonight, we will usher in the Year of the Rabbit."

"For this reason, Xihong Zoo specially held a handover ceremony here to let our tigers and rabbits complete this work of alternating between the old and the new."

"Now, please invite our little tiger to press his paw print on the handover document."

After saying this, Yang Lin held the little tiger and stepped on the gold powder beside him.

After stepping, the little tiger very consciously walked on the red document and left a golden tiger paw print on it.

"The tiger's work is done. Our Jade Rabbit will protect us in the new year."

As he said this, Yang Lin signaled to the keeper beside him. Seeing this, the keeper hurriedly put the rabbit's feet into the gold powder.

But just when the rabbit was about to leave its own footprints on the document, an unexpected situation suddenly occurred.

Amid the exclamations of the tourists, the tiger bit the rabbit beside him.

Seeing that the first tragedy of the new year was about to happen, Yang Lin immediately grabbed the tiger's neck and lifted it up.

"You little troublemaker, is this edible?"

"I'm the mascot of the Year of the Rabbit. You want everyone to have another Year of the Tiger."

"Now, apologize to me immediately."

Hearing Yang Lin's reprimand, the tiger seemed to realize that his prank just now was a bit too much.

The next second, in the shocked eyes of the tourists, it hugged the rabbit in its arms.

"I was scared to death. I thought the rabbit was going to die. It turned out to be a joke."

"Rabbit: I hate jokes without sense of propriety."

"Rabbit, I almost washed it off."

"It doesn't matter. Celebrating the Year of the Rabbit and eating rabbit meat are not contradictory. We, the people of Bashu, will still eat 3 billion rabbits this year."

"When it comes to liking rabbits, you people of Bashu are the best. No wonder your rabbit lanterns are so good."

"No, no, the rabbit hot pot is better. The lantern festival is just so-so."

"Aren't you going to cut sugar oranges today, my cousin from Guixi?"

"Yes, it's New Year's Day. Don't you go to cut a few acres of sugar oranges to celebrate?"

"I suddenly want to know. This year, the handover between the tiger and the rabbit can be done, but what about the handover between the rabbit and the dragon next year?"

"It doesn't matter. Director Yang will definitely make a dragon before the New Year next year."

.....

As the handover ceremony of the zodiac went smoothly, the New Year atmosphere on the scene became more and more intense.

However, the New Year atmosphere only lasted until the afternoon and then slowly dissipated.

It's not that Xihong Zoo has lost its former appeal, but that New Year's Eve has entered the countdown.

At this moment, both local residents and tourists from other places are preparing for the New Year's Eve dinner and the happy moments of reunion with relatives and friends.

All the excitement has moved from the scenic area to various residential communities and major restaurants.

When the time came to four o'clock in the afternoon, the park also ushered in a short closure.

"Director, I'm leaving first."

"Happy New Year, Director."

"See you next year, Director!"

"Director, I'm leaving too."

.....

As employees clocked out one by one, the park became quiet soon.

Until the last employee left, Yang Lin was the only one left in the entire park.

Just like a few months ago.

Looking at the empty park in front of him, Yang Lin did not feel too lonely.

"Hey, I can finally relax, and it's time to prepare New Year's Eve dinner for the animals."

"Why not let them all out? There's no one here anyway."

Thinking of this, Yang Lin immediately got busy in the park.

After opening the gates of each park one after another, all the animals walked out of the parks where they usually lived.

In an instant, the Xihong Zoo, which had just been lonely, became very lively.

"Xiao Yang, hurry up and get me a pack of cigarettes, I'm out of cigarettes."

"Xiao Yang, today is Chinese New Year, don't give me sugar-free happy water anymore, give me a bottle of sugar."

"Director, open the can, I want beef."

"Director, do you have any New Year's money? Do you have any New Year's money?"

"Those annoying two-legged cubs are finally gone, so happy!"

"Xi Lulu, I want to eat the green belt over there!"

"Finally, we don't have to pretend to be animals anymore, brothers, let's get excited!"

"Mahjong, mahjong, play mahjong, the loser will get a slap in the face, we're short of one, come with a hand."

"Ah! Finally, we can have a good fight, Li Gang, come and fight with me."

...

Without tourists, the animals no longer suppressed their thoughts and completely let themselves go.

And Yang Lin was too lazy to care about them this time, no matter what their needs were, he met them all.

Food and other things were eaten freely.

As for himself, he also set up a hot pot outside and prepared a variety of food and live broadcast equipment, just waiting for the time to start live broadcasting his New Year's Eve.
