"Absolutely not! Xiong Da is already bigger than a typical adult bear."
"Besides, he's not an idiot who can't move things, he'll definitely take his time."
Upon hearing this, Sister Hong'er offered her analysis.
Given Xiong Da's condition, would the principal really be worried about him getting injured? She felt the principal should be more concerned about how long the equipment would last.
"Well... alright then! But you'll have to keep a close eye on him." After thinking for a moment, the headmaster agreed.
After all, a zoo can't thrive without a main attraction.
Moreover, one cannot rely on official subsidies indefinitely; one must find other ways to make a living.
If the fitness bear brand can be successfully established, it will be a good thing for the entire zoo.
"No problem!" Sister Hong'er assured her, and the headmaster told her to go ahead and do it without worry.
"Sis! What did the headmaster say?"
When she saw Sister Hong'er return, Tian Tian came over.
"The headmaster agreed, but we have to do it ourselves and take the parts apart and clean them."
"But that's not the most troublesome part. This truck has been sitting here for so long that many parts are rusted, so it will probably be difficult to remove it."
As Sister Hong'er spoke, she looked at the abandoned truck with a headache.
This thing is so big that taking it apart is much more troublesome than cleaning it.
"Since that's the case, let's call Xiong Da over to do the work. He's got nothing else to do anyway, and he's strong."
No matter how badly rusted the car is, could it really withstand Xiong Da's wrath? She didn't believe it.
"Call him Xiong Da? That's a good idea. Anyway, working is a form of exercise." Sister Hong'er thought it made perfect sense.
He then got up, left the staff break room, and rode his tricycle to the bear enclosure.
Tian Tian went to get the tools.
"Hmph~ (That shouldn't be! Bears and humans have similar physical structures, so how come they can't even do a crunch?)"
"Hmph~ (This bear expresses its incomprehension, disrespect, and unhappiness.)"
Inside the bear enclosure on the other side, Cheng Hao lay on the ground, staring at the sky, his heart filled with confusion.
Although he hasn't done many crunches since he became a bear.
But it shouldn't be like a fat catfish, with all four limbs moving at the same time. Why would this happen? Is it possible that the bear really can't do it?
"Click~"
Just as Cheng Hao was deep in thought, the sound of chains being opened suddenly came from outside the bear enclosure. Sister Hong'er walked in and saw Cheng Hao turning his head away.
Immediately, they burst into laughter and scolding:
"You little rascal, what are you still doing lying on the ground? Get up right now!"
"I have something to do here."
As she spoke, she walked over to Cheng Hao and nudged his big head.
"Hmph~ (Ah! More work to do, can this silly bear skip it?)"
"Hmph~ (Or maybe I'll explain after I figure out the reason.)"
He's currently puzzled and doesn't want to wait any longer. Can you let him off the hook and let him think things through before we talk?
"You little rascal, stop daydreaming! Get up right now, this concerns you too, are you trying to slack off here?"
Seeing Cheng Hao staring blankly at her, with no intention of getting up.
Sister Hong'er said irritably, reaching out to grab Cheng Hao's ear.
Suddenly, Cheng Hao, who had been in a daze, shrank back and rolled off the ground.
The speed was so fast that Sister Hong'er was stunned, and her outstretched hand stopped in mid-air.
"Hmph~ (I won't say gentlemanly conduct, but sis, this is really unfair of you! You tried to ambush me before you even finished speaking. That's not right.)"
Cheng Hao got up and complained before plopping down on the ground.
Thankfully, he wasn't completely lost in thought, otherwise his little ears would have been pulled again today.
"Get out here right now, stop whining, you little chatterbox."
Once she came to her senses, Sister Hong'er said irritably, then withdrew her hand and walked out of the bear enclosure.
Cheng Hao could only sigh and follow the other person after seeing this.
At the same time, I was also a little worried. Was the zoo still closed at this time?
My sister actually dared to call him out; wasn't she afraid of scaring him?
But when he actually left the bear enclosure and was walking on the road, he finally understood why.
There's practically no one around because of the road construction; it looks like the zoo will be closed again today.
So this zoo is closed every day, aren't they afraid of starving? Seeing this makes me worry for the zoo.
After all, even when business was bad, the zoo was still able to survive.
But if the store stays closed every few days, sooner or later they'll be starving.
Just as Cheng Hao was lost in thought, Sister Hong'er stopped in front of a dilapidated truck. The smell of engine oil mixed with rust overwhelmed everything around her.
Cheng Hao instinctively held his breath.
Since becoming a bear, his sense of smell has become extremely keen, and he is very averse to these industrial products, finding them somewhat nauseating.
He couldn't help but urge Sister Hong'er:
"Hmph~ (Sis! Let's hurry up and leave. Let's not linger here. The smell makes me nauseous. I don't want to throw up everywhere.)"
Why did you have to stop here when you could have waited for him anywhere else?
"Silly bear! Our job today is to take this thing apart."
Seeing Cheng Hao talking and walking to the side, Sister Hong'er said irritably.
Where is this little rascal trying to run off to? Their job today is to dismantle cars.
"Hmph~ (Oh no! Is our zoo going out of business and starting to take on car dismantling jobs?)"
Cheng Hao, who had just taken a few steps back, widened his eyes upon hearing this.
He said there were no visitors in the zoo today, apparently they'd changed their business. Sure enough, building a zoo in such a remote mountain valley meant there weren't many people coming.
The only good news is that I won't be laid off and can stay on.
The bad news is that I have to help dismantle the car every day.
This was completely unacceptable to him, given his keen sense of smell; otherwise, he would have simply picked an auspicious day and run away.
Anyway, there's a forest behind us, and there should be plenty of food to eat this time of year, which is better than doing manual labor here.
"Why are you so shocked? We're taking this car apart so you can use it as exercise equipment."
"Otherwise, do you think I'd be doing this on such a hot day, with nothing better to do than come here and dismantle a car?"
Seeing Cheng Hao's eyes wide open like light bulbs, Sister Hong'er couldn't help but roll her eyes.
This lazybones is surprised! Do you even know why this car needs to be disassembled?
"Hmph~ (Ah! You're taking this truck apart to use as exercise equipment? Sis, are you messing with me?)"
Upon hearing this, Cheng Hao incredulously pointed to himself with his paw and looked at Sister Hong'er.
Cheng Hao wanted to confirm that he hadn't misheard.
"Yes! It's for you to use as exercise equipment. You little rascal, what can you possibly achieve by exercising on your own without any tools?"
"So I asked the principal to take this scrapped truck down and use it as exercise equipment for you."
"Of course, the headmaster won't provide any help; we'll have to do it ourselves," Sister Hong said, waving to Tian Tian who was carrying tools.
Upon seeing this, the latter immediately ran over.
"Hmph~ (But I didn't say that.)"
After listening, Cheng Hao couldn't help but mutter to himself.
Hong'er had already picked up a wrench and hammer and started working.
