"To remind me, I made a mistake." Lu Wu said without hesitation.

He told the young man in front of him what was hidden under this seemingly warm picture, and then in the surprised expression of the other party, he reflected: "My original intention was actually because the meat I bought in the vegetable market in the morning was fresher, and the fresher the meat for wild animals, the more it could attract them to speak, but I really didn't expect this to happen, I didn't think about it." ”

"I wanted to print this photo out and put it in my office to remind myself not to make the same mistake next time."

After finishing speaking, Lu Wu hesitated and asked carefully, "I know that art has copyright and so on...... Am I infringing your copyright? ”

"Yes." The young man in front of him suddenly showed his face, and before Lu Wu could show a look of loss, he showed a sly smile again, "But there is a way that will not." ”

"Actually, I've done this for the past few days." The young man took out a folder from his bag and handed it to Director Lu with a puzzled face, "Please open it and take a look." ”

Lu Wu opened the folder, and inside was an A3-sized piece of drawing paper, drawing a big black bear Liangliang.

But unlike the previous ones, the brightness on this sheet of paper was clearly drawn with more care than the others, and even the hair was shining, and it was clear at a glance that it was healthy.

In addition to the picture part, he also wrote a brief introduction to the animal in a very cute font, and Lu Wu took a rough look and found that the content on it was actually very accurate, and there were no errors or omissions.

And these introductions are not a general version of the road, they tell a bright story, and they are heartfelt at first glance.

…… However, he always felt that the handwriting was familiar.

Lu Wu seemed to understand something, this young man should have come to apply for a job, but he was ......

He gave a wry smile.

The zoo does not have enough money to pay a single employee.

Before he could say no, the young man in front of him suddenly stepped forward, pointed to himself, and said: "My name is Pu Luo, and I am still a little confused about the future employment direction after graduation, so I want to find something to do for the time being, I can paint and work, can you take me in?" ”

"I don't want to be paid, just pack food, volunteers, volunteers, whatever you want to call them, I'm super capable!"

In the blazing sun, the young man smiled brightly and passionately, and his fawn-like eyes sparkled with anticipation and sincerity, and even the longing in the middle was clear and bright.

No one can say "no" to those eyes.

Lu Wu heard his voice of defeat: "Good! ”

Chapter 31

"Pepper, female, genus of carnivorous cats, desert cat species, national first-class protected animals...... Anyway, it turns out that the desert cat has a separate species, I thought it was a wild cat species, a bit powerful. ”

"Pepper turned out to be a cat from a clothing store, and the shopkeeper bought it at a high price from the black market for its rarity, but he disliked its wild and untamable nature, so he didn't bring it home during the New Year, and the food was not enough, and it was the caring people who heard the cat's meow and helped feed it until ......the shopkeeper came back," Pu Luo wrote here, and stopped, looking up at the uncles and aunts who were surrounding him, "Did it break its leg at that time?" ”

"What the hell! Teacher, don't you know, I heard from their neighbors that the cat was fine, but it was really hungry and was looking for something to eat in the store, but it hit a heavy object, crushed its paws, and delayed treatment, and finally had to amputate its limbs to save its life. ”

The young man's brows immediately furrowed: "Then didn't that shop get any punishment?" ”

"Ha, it's fine, why isn't it punished?" An uncle sneered, "It's also that our pepper is a protected animal, so that's what it means to be fined 5,000 yuan." If Pepper were just a normal cat, I'd probably get a dime. ”

"So not everyone in this world is suitable for raising cats, that kind of animal can raise itself, don't spoil other animals, what kind of goods you are, others don't know what they don't know. Little teacher, you don't know, when we pepper first came, where was it so beautiful, the hair on the body was black, and it was said that it was a protected animal, and that it was a wild cat. ”

"yes, or how to say that our Xiao Lu is like this." An uncle raised his thumb, "At that time, many big hospitals said that they didn't dare to treat the pepper injury, but Dean Lu took it back and treated it out of his own pocket." ”

Pu Luo: "Isn't there a fine?" Do you have to pay out of pocket to save state-protected animals? ”

Speaking of this, the surrounding uncles and aunts were even more angry: "The money is not enough to pay for food, and it is also for medical expenses." ”

"His aunt, you don't know, just a little money, the woman has to ask three times and four times, and refuses to pay it, and finally the court came to warn her, saying that if she refused to fine, she would be sentenced to Ding Mao and detained, so she paid the money."

"Ouch, you said this man!" A bunch of people immediately began to sigh how this person could be so bad.

In comparison, look at their little head Lu, who performs surgery on people and includes rehabilitation. Eat well, live well, use well, pepper at that time how can the fur is so beautiful now, look at the pepper is now in this hair tip, it is all shining in the sun, at a glance you know that the feel is excellent.

"To be honest, when Pepper came, I didn't think it would survive." An uncle pointed to the cat climbing frame in the cage to Pu Luo, "Look at that frame, is it not the same color?" ”

When I looked at it, I found that there was some color difference between the wooden frame and the wooden frame, and it was not a single difference, but most of them were not the same.

"This is what Director Xiao Lu added to it layer by layer according to its situation, and it was only when the pepper could jump that it was heightened, and these layers have been added one after another for almost a year, right?"

"Almost! I still remember that there was a funny thing that happened later, the wood of the head of Xiao Lu was obtained, and it was our teacher Hu who contributed the table at home to make up the last layer. ”

Everyone's eyes immediately focused on a tall and thin uncle. The uncle waved his hand modestly: "I'm not the only one, Teacher Zhang and Teacher Liu have all donated." ”

"That's the same as you." An old lady with gray hair on her sideburns but who looked dignified and beautiful said with a smile, "What we brought out was an ordinary table, but what you brought out was a love table." ”

Hey? This can be expanded on!

Pu Luo immediately looked expectantly at the uncle known as Teacher Hu.

It turned out that in the era of these uncles and aunts, because of the lack of materials, the school did not provide desks and benches, and the students had to move from their own homes to a similar size.

The small table donated by Uncle Hu's family to the zoo was used when he was a student, and it has a history of more than 50 years.

Fifty years ago, Uncle Hu was still a young man who was just starting to fall in love. Just as young people like to use correction fluid and watercolor pens to engrave on the table, young people of that era also had this hobby, but they were more primitive, that is, they used a utility knife or ruler to engrave.

Anyway, it's their own table, and no one will say that they destroy public property, and they can avoid mistakes for a moment.

Uncle Hu was more avant-garde, and he had a crush early in those days, and his desk was engraved with his crush's in addition to his name.

However, he didn't engrave the girl's name, for fear of causing trouble, so he only engraved his surname. The girl's surname was Jiao, and she was a big surname in them, and she could hit four or five bricks under them.

People who have seen his table guess who the girl is, Lao Hu never admitted it, and it was not until the two got married that they knew who the main owner was.

Then, this table became a token of love between the two of them, and since then, they have bought a house, moved, had a child, and have a granddaughter, and this table has always accompanied them.

Even if it is incompatible with the new furniture, the two of them have never thrown it away. It wasn't until they heard that the zoo lacked wood for a stand that the old couple sent the table over.

Lao Hu also helped the director personally dismantle the table full of memories of his youth.

"Speaking of which, where is the inscription? Hey, I really haven't paid attention to it before, it should be on the right, right? ”

"Huh? How do I remember it was on the left? ”

"Didn't you fold it in? You see that the color of this wood is quite new, it looks like the wood has been turned up, Mr. Hu, what do you think? ”

Lao Hu was very calm at the moment, he said with a posture of sitting alone on the Diaoyutai: "I don't say it, you guess slowly." ”

"Ouch, you say you're a teacher, that's what you do? Where did the preaching and karma go? ”

"Mr. Hu is retired and does not take on this social responsibility."

Just when everyone was criticizing Mr. Hu for being unkind, Pepper, who was resting on the climbing frame, seemed to finally can't bear the annoying two-legged beasts, and slapped his tail on the perch.

The uncles and aunts were busy arguing and didn't pay attention, but Pu Luo unconsciously followed the dynamic things and looked over, he was looking at it casually, and was about to turn his gaze back, but at this moment, he couldn't help but stare at it, and the abnormality under the pepper tail attracted his attention.

Pu Luo leaned over to take a closer look, and on the side of the scratches of many cats, there was a small umbrella covering the two characters Hu and Jiao. The small umbrella is painted very large, and it is wider on the Jiao side, silently telling a young man's Mu Ai.

The director specially placed this piece of wood in the best position of the daylight in this cage, and also wrapped the wood on the side with a seaweed rope, so that when the cat wants to sharpen its nails, it will be attracted by the seagrass rope with a better feel, and it is not easy to catch the two markings.

That table is the tender crush of a young man who does not want to disturb his beloved, the origin of a beautiful person, and the kindness of a family to Pepper.

Of course, it is also a source of bad taste for the principal. Isn't the word Hu and Jiao pepper?

At first, Pu Luo thought that the name was chosen because Pepper's hometown was in the Western Regions, but he didn't expect that the director was completely naughty.

While recording the news he heard in his notebook, Pu Luo complained frantically in his heart about the principal, why not hang a display board to tell everyone about such an interesting story? And when he introduced the pepper cat to him, the director didn't mention the story of the board at all.

If he hadn't learned about the situation with the tourists today, this story would have been buried in the corridor of time, what a pity.

But then again, little pepper beauty, seeing that you are such a picky eater, I thought you were from some kind of golden branch and jade leaf family, but I didn't expect that you had a stutter back then.

So, how did you go from not saying no to coming in the past to being dissatisfied with the thousands of choices you have today?

This is probably pampered and arrogant.

In the middle of a distraction, the aunts and uncles had already shifted the conversation to the other side, starting to talk about their daily gossip, and then all the way to topics such as the family's poor appetite in the sweltering heat.

This topic immediately attracted Pu Luo's attention. After a while, everyone chatted and climbed up, and finally sat down in the tourist rest area of the platform, and started the happiest moment of the trip - eating.

Uncles and aunts, you grab a handful of melon seeds, I grab a handful of peanuts, and as for tomatoes, cucumbers, and other necessary travel necessities, I don't mention it, and even bring corn.

Well? Corn is not easy to divide? There is nothing bad to divide in the aunt, a plastic bag on one side is two sections, and a few more times, everyone can share it.

When you are old, you will have some chronic diseases more or less, and glutinous corn is considered to be a coarse grain, but the glycemic index is particularly high, so it is not easy to eat more, and everyone is just right.

If you add a sentence at this time: I am planted by relatives, no pesticides, you taste it, it will be a lore.

The people of Quancheng were very hospitable, and even Puluo, an outsider who had just joined the small group today, was given a small snack.

Pu Luo had never learned how to eat melon seeds, he would only use his fingernails to pick the melon seeds little by little, pick the melon seeds, pick the peanuts, and swallow them in one bite, and then continue to peel a wave of melon seeds while swimming in the oily aroma of the fruit.

"Teacher Pu, why don't you come too? Corn grown by relatives is delicious! ”

In the face of the aunt's grinning invitation, Pu Luo's chin was raised, his round eyes were shining, and the smile on the corner of his mouth could not be hidden, and he said with some pride: "I won't, I'll wait for the director to call me for dinner!" ”

His words caused a circle of people around him to laugh, and at the same time, Lu Wu, the director of Daishan Zoo, happened to appear on the platform at the top of the mountain.

He was walking towards them with two traditional aluminum lunch boxes in one hand and a bag in the other, looking at the laughing crowd for some reason.

Seeing that everyone didn't mean to share the joke with him, he could only shrug his shoulders and shouted at Pu Luo: "Xiao Pu, come to dinner!" ”

Pu Luo got up without hesitation, put the peanuts and melon seeds he had just received into his pocket, and then didn't even want a notebook, and rushed towards the head of the garden with Huan'er.

That unhesitating energy made all the uncles and aunts laugh again.

Pu Luo didn't care about this, just laughed, it was an extra service for our zoo!

Lu Wu handed him the chopsticks and spoon, and whispered: "I don't know what you like to eat, so I just burned some casually, you taste, salty and light, tell me, I will adjust it next time." ”

Pu Luo was already confused by the smell of the hot smell when the lunch box was opened, and half of his soul flew away. Hearing the principal's words, he replied without hesitation: "There is no problem, as long as it is cooked by the principal, I like it." ”

Lu Wu opened his hand for a moment, and looked up at the young man in front of him, his eyes were murmuring, and there was some subtlety that could not be explained. After a while, he lowered his head and said, "The quality of today's beef is very good, is it okay to eat beef fried rice for dinner?" ”

Pu Luo's mouth was already stuffed at this time, and he nodded without hesitation.

However, when he swallowed the salty and delicious fried sea rice with winter melon, his reason returned a little: "Ah, can you not put carrots?" I don't like cooked carrots. ”

"Is there anything you don't like to eat? Or what's the taboo? ”

"Nope!" Pu Luo said proudly, "I'm super easy to feed!" ”

"What about the raw carrots?" Lu Wu agreed and asked again.

This time, Pu Luo's answer was a little tangled, and he said euphemistically: "You can take a few bites of raw food." ”

That's what it means to not like to eat too much. Lu Wu looked up at the young man who was eating deliciously, and the latter didn't realize that his little secret of picky eating had been known.

Lu Wu didn't expose it, he only smiled lightly and picked up his lunch box.

Lu Wu's lunch on weekdays was also relatively compatible, he had no appetite on a hot day, and time was tight, so he had not cooked a hot meal for a long time, and he mostly used cold food or the dinner of the previous day to deal with it.

But now seeing the young man in front of him eating fragrantly and without raising his head, Lu Wu actually felt that eating had become interesting, and he even couldn't help but start thinking about tomorrow's menu.
