After they had eaten, they tidied up and left the house with Xuanzai and the eldest sister, heading for the zoo.
On the holiday, the zoo was crowded with people. Each animal attraction was surrounded by a sea of visitors, and the resting areas were all occupied. There was nowhere left to stand.
"So many people!" Xia Zhi, looking at the throngs, felt some irritation, "How about we just have a quick look around and then head back? We can't really see much anyway."
He Jinnan didn't object and was also concerned about the crowd, worrying it might harm the child. Thus, he suggested, "All right, we are closer to the west exit now. Let's leave from there and circle around to the parking lot."
They walked and paused intermittently. Xia Zhi bought a green frog balloon for Xuanzai, which they tied to the stroller. The little guy watched it without blinking, delighted by it.
