The protection station's park doesn't have an emergency station as close to nature, but it has better facilities.
The temperature in the period after the New Year is even colder than when it snowed during the celebration.
Elder Tiger basically can't leave the stove all day. However, staying close to it for too long causes dehydration, which is not good for its health.
The animal shed at the protection station has air conditioning, and thanks to donations from kind people, a new air system has been installed. Elder Tiger is living comfortably here.
As for freedom, for a centenarian, even if you give it a mountain, all it needs is a square foot of land.
Brother Monkey's recovery is unexpectedly good. Ten days after the surgery, the stitches were removed, and there was no infection on the spots. Looking at its daily activity intensity, there's no sign of postoperative infection. But because the fracture still needs a long recovery period, it's not yet allowed to climb trees frequently.
Only a temporary artificial tree was set up indoors to make it convenient for Brother Monkey to rest.
The trend in the past two years is slow live streaming; simply point the camera at the place to be streamed, and you don't need to manage it, focusing on a sense of spontaneity.
This is also the favorite method of many cloud animal friends.
Little Sen has cloud-raised two penguin babies and a Sea Seal.
It's inevitable; mountain people just like marine animals. They haven't encountered them before, so they're very curious.
In the morning, Little Sen and Mengmeng came over, as usual, to check Brother Monkey's wound first and then feed it.
After letting Brother Monkey out to the yard for some activities, the keeper hurriedly cleaned up and refilled the pool water.
The weather is freezing, and the water pipe can't release water at all, so they have to supplement the indoor water source, replacing it twice a day.
Elder Tiger is checked once a month. It's familiar with the process. When the door opens, it leisurely walks toward the examination area, not forgetting to greet people along the way.
Once there, it skillfully lies down on the examination table, ready for a blood draw or to open its mouth as needed.
"Elder Tiger has got another loose tooth; the root has shrunk and might fall out. Be careful when preparing food, don't make it too hard or too cold."
It's uncertain if Elder Tiger understood their conversation, but its tail hooked around the wrist of the person examining it.
Veterinarian Little Wang looked up at it and saw Elder Tiger's mouth slightly open, seeming like a smile, as if reassuring him not to worry.
Feeling a tug at his heartstrings, Little Wang put down the tablet, moved closer to rub Elder Tiger's belly and pinch its ears.
Elder Tiger nudged his hand towards its mouth, gently biting it before pushing him away to get off the table.
Keeper Little Hai quickly followed along, not forgetting to call back to veterinarian Little Wang, saying he'd come over later to discuss Elder Tiger's diet.
Every morning, Elder Tiger takes a stroll in the yard. If the weather is good, it will bask in the sun on the platform, returning to its den for a nap at noon. There is a heated pipe under its bed, and lying on it is just the right temperature.
Chen Ying went to the provincial city yesterday afternoon to meet Dao Meihua, and then have a meal with Chen Ying's parents.
Mother Chen doesn't involve herself or comment on their relationship; as long as the couple feels good about it, she is satisfied.
However, Mr. Chen is a bit conflicted, always feeling that the conditions of the girl's family are too good and worries his son might "lose out."
However, in the Chen family, his word doesn't hold much weight; his son and wife don't quite listen to him. If you oppose, that's your stance, but whether I'm willing is another story.
Mr. Chen can't affect the choices of his wife and son, so he is left to his own concerns.
Nevertheless, because of this, Mr. Chen's attitude is very appropriate when facing Dao Meihua, wholeheartedly wanting to support his son.
Dao Meihua is a smart girl; she immediately noticed Mr. Chen's concerns and didn't directly say anything to comfort him, instead showing affection and care for Chen Ying.
In her words, saying nice things is not as good as actually doing something genuine; seeing is believing over time.
They spent two days at home, accompanying the parents to see the lantern festival and walk through the snack street. On the afternoon of the fifteenth day of the lunar month, Chen Ying and Dao Meihua took a flight to the location of the zoo run by Sister-in-law Dao Meihua's family.
"This area used to be big mountains, but then with the national infrastructure, a railway and highways were built, leading to faster development. However, the bay here is relatively small, and the terrain isn't particularly good, but it benefits from a nice climate, with no large factories nearby, so the environment and air quality are good. Therefore, a development plan centered around health and wellness was created."
Sister-in-law Dao Meihua's family is well-experienced in this area; her sister-in-law studied hotel management in university and went abroad for further studies for two years after graduation, having worked in a world-renowned hotel, gaining a lot of experience. This content is hosted at NovelHub.
"Look, that beautifully designed tall building ahead is a hotel under my sister-in-law's name. Although it's not her sole property, she's primarily in charge of the management. We're staying here tonight."
After checking in, a call from Dao Meihua's sister-in-law came, asking them to come downstairs to eat something good.
"Coming here is all about eating seafood. Although there's nothing particularly luxurious, what matters is the freshness."
Dao Meihua's sister-in-law's surname is Yu. It's said that her ancestors were fishermen, and after settling ashore, they discovered business opportunities and gradually expanded and strengthened.
Whether true or not, Chen Ying wouldn't inquire any further; he just goes along, bringing his appetite along.
Sister Yu's family has a small yacht, sufficient for a sea trip with a few friends.
(Author Tudog, found online, this is probably how it is. I'm not sure if it's expensive or not; anyway, I can't afford it.)
"This yacht is usually used by my sister-in-law; she enjoys sea fishing. There are fishing tools on the boat, feel free to use the set in the light-colored bag, while the set in the dark-colored bag is my sister-in-law's personal outfit."
Besides the three of them, there was a young man and woman, Sister Yu's cousin and her boyfriend.
