The alley is not long, and due to the picturesque scenery, although no one speaks, it is not boring. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Zhang Zi'an also saw a middle-aged man with a beard holding a small card machine choosing an angle towards a plane tree. He doesn't know how to take pictures, but this middle-aged man feels much more professional than the members of the photography club outside who can only play with equipment. He also looked up from the angle of the middle-aged man's camera.

Between the branches of the plane tree, under the cover of sparse yellow leaves, there was a small gray-black squirrel, with a big tail and a wary look at Fina and the snow lion. This squirrel is probably a pet of a child of some kind who ran away for some reason or was released, and is not very afraid of people, but is afraid of cats.

Fina raised her eyes and glanced at the squirrel for half a second, yawning boredly. The snow lion is also not interested in squirrels, and with the snow lion's short legs and long hair, it is estimated that it is difficult to climb trees, and it will be hooked by bark or knots after climbing a few long hairs.

The bearded middle-aged man focused on composing and capturing the movements of the squirrel, and he didn't see Zhang Zi'an and Guo Dongyue passing by, this kind of concentration and concentration is not comparable to those novices of the photography agency who can find Zhang Zi'an with a cat across the road.

When they walked over, the bearded middle-aged man noticed the two cats, was stunned for a moment, and then quickly squatted on the ground, turned the flip screen of the card machine 90 degrees, and ingested the two cats into the camera at an angle parallel to the ground.

With a few quick shutter clicks, he stood up and observed the shot. Through the preview of the 3-inch LCD screen, he found that this unintentional willow photo is quite perfectly blurred, as long as the post-processing is a little, it will be a rare good photo - because the person is far away, the cat is close, and the shooting angle is low, the cat looks very large and clear in the photo, and even the erratic fallen leaves around them seem to be frozen by time, especially the white cat also glanced back, just right with the camera. The light is also very cooperative, neither forward nor backlit, bright and soft.

"Alright, call it a day. The bearded man turned off the camera in satisfaction, slipped it into his pocket, and walked away whistling like a child getting a new toy.

Zhang Zi'an and Guo Dongyue didn't know what was going on behind the scenes, and they didn't know that they were inadvertently used as a background board for the two cats. Although the snow lion knew, it didn't know what the little black lump in the bearded man's hand was for, and because of its instinctive aversion to men, it had no interest in knowing.

Halfway down the alley, Zhang Zi'an could already vaguely see the abandoned kindergarten at the entrance on the other side of the alley, with rusty slides, swings, and seesaws, few of them, and no laughter, probably just waiting to be demolished.

"This way. Guo Dongyue pointed to the side.

A three-story residential building appeared in front of me, with only one unit, and there were no other buildings nearby, if there was a benefit, it was probably quiet. Zhang Zi'an looked up and saw that the red brick façade of the old residential building had turned black and red due to years of wind and rain, and only the remaining green vines were hanging on the anti-theft net on the first floor, swaying gently. Most of the residents of the building may have moved out, and many of the balcony glass and doors have been removed, allowing a direct view of the black holes.

At this time, a middle-aged woman who looked to be in her 40s walked out of the building, carrying a garbage bag, probably out to throw out the garbage. When she saw Guo Dongyue, she immediately put on a smile, "Xiaoyue is back, go in and sit, your mother is in a good state today, and she is just cooking." ”

Guo Dongyue frowned when he heard this, "...... cooking"

Zhang Zi'an guessed what he was worried about, worried that his mother would be in danger during the cooking process, such as forgetting to boil the water, or forgetting to fry vegetables in the pot.

"Rest assured. I've been watching her, and nothing can happen. According to Aunt Bai, it is actually good for her to move, doesn't it all say that life lies in movement?"

Guo Dongyue was not very happy in his heart, but he still smiled reluctantly and introduced the two of them.

"Aunt Bai, this is me...... Friend, surnamed Zhang, is called Zhang Zi'an. He introduced Zhang Zi'an again: "This is my upstairs neighbor, Aunt Bai, because it is more convenient to go upstairs and downstairs, I hired her to help take care of my mother." ”

He deliberately emphasized the word hiring.

Zhang Zi'an can be regarded as having experienced ups and downs in society, not comparable to those college students, and I can hear his extraneous meaning. It seems that Guo Dongyue is not very satisfied with Aunt Bai's care, but he can only endure it for some reasons. Zhang Zi'an remembered that he said that because his mother was moody after her illness, he even once called the police as a thief who had burglarized the babysitter.

"Ouch, it's Xiaoyue's friend, it's really rare. Aunt Bai threw the garbage bag into the designated garbage drop-off point, walked over with a smile, and looked at Zhang Zi'an.

"Xiaoyue, this child, has been very withdrawn since he was a child, and he has few friends, but this child is too promising, he can go abroad to make a lot of money, and ordinary friends probably can't look down on him. Your name is Zhang Zi'an, right? Is it Xiao Yue's colleague or an old classmate?" Aunt Bai asked, her tone still quite kind.

"Not a colleague, not a classmate. Zhang Zi'an replied, "Actually, I own a pet shop." ”

"Who opened a pet shop?" The smile on Aunt Bai's face froze for a moment, the architectural design institute and the pet store couldn't fight together.

"It's the kind I wanted...... A pet shop?" she asked tentatively.

Zhang Zi'an smiled helplessly, "Pet stores are almost the same, probably the kind you think." ”

Aunt Bai took a breath of cool air, looked at Zhang Zi'an, and then at Guo Dongyue, and couldn't understand how a well-known architectural designer got mixed up with a pet shop.

Zhang Zi'an wanted to remind her that she should not inhale cold air on such a cold day, so as to save her stomach from bloating.

"Then can I call you Xiao Zhang?" Aunt Bai asked familiarly.

"Whatever, just look at it. ”

If it was a peer, Zhang Zian would definitely add a sentence "It's better to call me handsome than the store manager", but the other party is a middle-aged woman, and if she says this, it will definitely cause embarrassment and misunderstanding.

Guo Dongyue coughed lightly, "Let's go inside, it's cold outside." ”

"Yes, yes, look at my fool, come, come in. Aunt Bai greeted warmly, "My old sister-in-law must be very happy to see the guests. ”

"That's a lot of a bother. Zhang Zi'an said politely.

"Huh, these two cats ......," Aunt Bai noticed Fina and Snow Lion.
