Years: Salted fish life since going to the countryside.

Chapter 935: Feelings on the First Day in Shanghai
Han Li had searched for relevant information about the Western Suburbs Park mentioned by Hao Hongmin on the Internet in his previous life. Why did he look for it specifically? Although he was an unemployed person after graduation, he still yearned to work in a big city. Shanghai was one of the top cities in the country at that time, so he paid more attention to it.

This place was originally a "golf" course built by foreigners, as well as a place for horse riding, barbecue, singing and dancing, which covered an area of ​​27.8 square meters at the time.

The renovation began in 53 and took 8 months to complete the greening and lighting, and built a five-curve corridor and an octagonal corridor, a double-eaved air tower, a hexagonal pavilion, etc., with a total area of ​​28.1 square meters.

It opened to the public in May 54. However, due to the large number of visitors, most of the facilities and lawns were damaged, so the park was forced to close for repairs. After reopening more than a month later, the number of tickets was limited to 5 per day.

In June, Xijiao Park began the zoo expansion project. After the expansion, the total area reached 6 million square meters. At that time, there were more than 133.33 species of animals here.

In May 72, the Asian elephant "Banna" came here. From that day on, the local people in Shanghai liked to call this place "Bai Xiang" West Suburb Park.

In the following days, Xijiao Park built Swan Lake, Lion and Tiger Mountain, Panda Ridge and Hundred Flower Hall, the types of animals on display continued to expand, and the animal exhibition area expanded to the entire park, becoming a famous tourist destination in Shanghai.

At this time, for Shanghai residents, taking photos with "Banna" in Baixiang West Suburb Park became the most boastful thing. After the photos came out, they could brag about them to their neighbors and colleagues for a whole week.

(On January 80, 1, Xijiao Park was officially renamed Shanghai Zoo.)
Han Li knew all this information, and Hao Hongmin's current appearance was also very telling.

It has been a long time since he last tasted the Second Peak. He would be lying if he said he was not craving for it. However, Han Li looked at his watch. It was already past 2 p.m. and the distance from their location to the West Suburb Park would almost be closed. So he could only temporarily suppress the idea of ​​climbing to the top.

"It's a little late today, and it won't be fun to go there. Why don't we walk around first and tell my aunt what she likes, so I don't have to worry when I visit her tomorrow."

After Han Li said this, Hao Hongmin also reacted. If they went to Xijiao Park at this time, they might not be able to come back after arriving there. After suppressing her excited thoughts, she said.

"No, you don't need to bring anything from my mother's place, just go there yourself."

"No, that won't work. The first time you visit her, you should always bring something she likes."

"It's really not necessary."

The two people kept a certain distance and walked forward while chatting.

They stroll as if they were driving a car, and chat in private when there is no one around. When there are people around, Hao Hongmin turns into a tour guide and explains the surrounding situation.

From east to west, Hao Hongmin took Han Li to visit Kangping Road in Shanghai.

There are French plane trees planted on both sides of the road, and behind the trees are mostly exotic villas, with special personnel standing guard in many places.

Hao Hongmin whispered to Han Li various small stories about this street, from the Republic of China to the present.

The two of them walked west along Kangping Road until they reached the end and arrived at Jiaotong University.

At that time, Jiaotong University looked not as good as Yanda University from the outside, but the students there also walked in a hurry and seemed to be concentrating on their studies.

After passing Jiaotong University, Han Li arrived at a small park, but he did not see the name of the park.

Although this park is not big, it has everything it needs, including rockery, lakes, waterfalls and woods. Maybe because of the weather and the date, there are almost no people here.

Seeing this situation, Han Li immediately stretched out his mental power to observe the area. Finding that there was no problem, he secretly released a peregrine falcon with the help of a tree trunk to warn, and then took Hao Hongmin and turned a corner.

The branches swayed, the leaves shook, and the thrushes chirped. After a long time, Han Li brought Hao Hongmin, whose face was ruddy, eyes were full of spring water, and legs were trembling, to a bench and sat down at a certain distance. After Hao Hongmin's breathing became even, she spoke in a delicate voice.

"You're more powerful than before. If I had known this, I shouldn't have followed you in."

"Can you blame me for this? You've been busy studying and not exercising lately. But the climate and soil in Shanghai are really good. Your skin is better than before."

"Bah, I really don't know how Yun Yingying usually gets here. If I had known this, I would have called Yang Xiuying over."

During this period of time, Han Li had been corresponding with Yang Xiuying and learned that she was being urged by her family to go on a blind date. She had two purposes in saying such things to a former "comrade-in-arms".

First, let the other party try to keep him, but Han Li was about to marry Yun Yingying, so how could he give up the two sisters and choose her? Moreover, he did not intend to bring himself unnecessary trouble before 85.

Second, Yang Xiuying wanted to withdraw, but she was still undecided, so Han Li took the opportunity to create some distance between the lines.

Now when Han Li heard Hao Hongmin talking about Yang Xiuying, he pretended to be unhappy and said.

"Why ask her to do anything? She's just an extra when we're together. You're the one I care about most."

"But."

That was enough for the conversation. Any explicit words would make Han Li seem too ruthless, so he interrupted what Hao Hongmin was saying next and changed the subject.

"Let's talk about what will happen when we meet my aunt tomorrow."

When talking about business, Hao Hongmin immediately forgot about the topic of Yang Xiuying. The two of them sat on the bench, secretly holding hands from time to time and chatting until dark.

For dinner, following Hao Hongmin's instructions, we went to a small restaurant.

Here they ordered a large wonton with shepherd's purse and meat filling, and authentic scallion pancakes.

The big wontons are not only big in size and have more fillings, but the wonton wrappers also contain alkaline water and duck egg paste, making them extra chewy.

The scallion pancakes are not the same as the ones made by Hao Hongmin in Shanghe Village. Although they are all made with lard, the ones bought by the restaurant are professionally made. They are baked in a stove converted from a large barrel, and they taste particularly fragrant.

What? Differences in taste between the north and south?

This is true, but not much, because in these difficult times, this difference is not worth mentioning at all.

After Han Li had dinner with Hao Hongmin, he sent her to the entrance of an alley in Chang*. He watched her figure disappear before turning around and leaving.

After walking for so long today, Han Li discovered that Shanghai has one advantage over Old Beijing, that is, there are more agency stores and public telephones, which is much more convenient than Old Beijing.

Next, Han Li found a hotel nearby to stay in. He still used facial recognition to choose a room facing the street. In the middle of the night, he climbed out the window.

After returning home today, Hao Hongmin told her mother that Han Li would be coming tomorrow. This made Hao Jingshi so happy that she forgot all about Xiangjiang and Hao Jianghe.

When Hao Jing and her daughter started to clean up their small and simple residence overnight, she kept asking Han Li what he liked to eat. She planned to line up to buy it early tomorrow morning.
Hao Hongmin was confused by her mother's enthusiasm, because she just said Han Li was coming, and didn't mention the relationship between the two. Why was her mother so enthusiastic? This was even more enthusiastic than when she came back from the Northeast.
