Chapter 7: Neighbors

Old man Su caught a cat from a friend's house and came back.

It's a very common orange cat, with mixed blood, and I don't even know what kind of cat my father is, so it's not precious.

Its mother gave birth to a litter of six, and if no one would take them in, these little ones would inevitably end up on the streets, becoming feral cats rummaging through garbage cans, and it is pitiful to think about it.

I just happened to meet, Su Mu's grandfather thought this chubby little milk cat looked cute, so he brought it home to prepare for his grandson to play, it happened that there was a rat infestation recently, and there are often strong mice running into the neighbor's house from the sewer, raising a cat can solve this problem, he felt that the little orange cat he brought back was a good cat that could catch mice.

Of course, this is just what Old Man Su himself thought, and no one knows now.

After entering the house, put the kitten on the ground, put the fresh tofu you bought, put it in the stainless steel basin in the kitchen, and put some water to soak, the weather has slowly become hotter, and you don't have to worry about the smell in the water.

Su Mu's father went out to buy silver carp.

Only the Chinese love to eat this kind of spiny freshwater fish, the fish head soup sells the best, every two days to purchase more than ten back, fish head stew, fish braised meat, can not be sold out of their own can also eat, the vegetable market is not far from home, just separated by more than 300 meters, I don't know since when, there are many more Americans in the lakes around Los Angeles called "Asian carp", the price is much cheaper than the seafood fish.

Small restaurant business is not much, and the price is not much money, but let Su Mu's parents busy from morning to night, many Chinese are by opening restaurants to live, after all, "Chinese-Food" is quite popular in the United States, but unfortunately after Chinese food came to the United States, in order to cater to the needs of the locals, the taste has completely changed, resulting in many Chinese only selling and not eating, not meeting their appetite, there are too many restaurants in Chinatown, the couple opened this restaurant called "Old Jiangnan", there is no competitiveness at all.

He walked around the vegetable market, the tricycle used to pull goods was parked not far away, in addition to the family also has an old Ford pickup truck, which is rarely used in the parking lot for a long time, when he bought it, it was second-hand, and now it is even more old, and he always wants to drive it out and sell it, but it is worth only a thousand dollars at most.

Old man Su and they occasionally drove to San Francisco to find Su Mu's sister-in-law, so they stayed, anyway, it has reached this point, even if the depreciation is two or three hundred dollars, it is always a car, this alone is better than many families in Chinatown, and the word "face" is a big thing for Chinese.

"Hey, hey, hey, have you heard, there's another shooting in the school, it seems that several students have died, and a Chinese boy has also been killed!"

This sentence successfully attracted the attention of Su Mu's father, Su Dingcai, and he quickly looked back at a bald middle-aged man selling vegetables, only to see that someone asked the man: "Is it really fake?

My brother works at the police station, and he just came back to tell my wife that our children should not go to school today. ”

When he said this, the middle-aged man who sold vegetables showed a look of pride.

Now being a policeman in Chinatown means that he is rich enough to have a gray income, means a very high social status, in short, there will be no shortage of food and clothing, and at the same time a little power, although it is not on the table, but for a group of poor compatriots who also sell vegetables, it is already a very good job, and he continued to tell: "It seems to be Castellar Middle School in the south, and a school bus has been attacked......

Su Dingcai was suddenly struck by lightning, his head was dizzy, and when he heard the name of the school he didn't want to hear, he panicked and worried about his baby son, as if the sky had fallen, thinking about so many schools around, why was it his son who was studying, and I was also wondering if it was his son Su Mu who had suffered an accident, there were so many students in the school, but this kind of thing was not afraid of 10,000 just in case.

The vegetable basket was thrown on the ground, and a small octopus that was going to be burned for his son at night fell out of the basket and writhed, turned around and immediately ran back, almost fell, and rode a tricycle to walk away under the puzzled gaze of everyone.

Su Mu was naturally fine, he didn't know that his father was about to go crazy.

The school bus was still parked on the side of the road, and after a few negotiations between the female teacher and the driver, Mr. Bernard agreed to pick up the girls who lived in Chinatown, and the school was now very unsafe, and one student had kidnapped several junior children, and the teachers were quite dedicated and were helping to evacuate the school.

Li Ping'an, who was sitting next to Su Mu, also saw Kate at this moment, and hurriedly pushed him with his hand, and said excitedly: "Kate! Look, it's Kate!"

She's going to take our car, and it's time for you to confess! Didn't you wash your hair in the morning, your hair is so messy, you won't have a girl like you like this!"

Throwing a roll of his eyes at him, Su Mu wanted to pretend to be calm, but the right hand that raised to arrange his hair still betrayed his mood at the moment, and he lowered his voice in anger and shouted: "Be quiet!"

Why don't any girls like me, I also received a love letter last month, go and go, my mouth is so cheap, don't talk nonsense later!"

"Yo, someone is embarrassed. Li Ping'an teased, when the two chatted, the group of female students had already begun to get on the bus, and he stared at them until Kate walked from the middle aisle of the seat to next to him, stood up instantly, and said with a smile: "Come, Kate, sit in my place, my back hurts, just stand."

Our teacher often said to be gentlemanly, how about it, gentleman? Look at my friend, he's our boss, and when he got into a fight, a dozen black people fell down at once!"

is deliberately helping Su Mu to increase his face, at their age, the guy who fights hard is particularly popular with girls in school, and the "boss" highlights his status.

Li Ping'an had some good intentions, but Su Mu had the urge to strangle this guy, after all, the girl he liked was in front of him, and the first time he was so close, he was already very nervous, and now he wanted to dig a pit and jump in by himself, and said in his mouth: "Don't listen to him, I haven't fought!"

In fact, even he didn't know why he wanted to explain, maybe because he didn't want her to misunderstand anything.

It's true that the two haven't been in contact, but Su Mu often pays attention to her every move, and is sure that she doesn't like those guys who make trouble all day long, this is more like an innocent teenager's beautiful fantasy of his first love, always imagining what kind of girl Kate is, and he doesn't really understand her personality.

Fortunately, Kate did not disappoint Su Mu, so many people pursued her, but she had never heard of anyone she was in love with, her grades were among the best, and she was also enthusiastic about participating in public welfare activities, she was a very good girl.

The school bus had already started, Li Ping'an was blocking the way, and the mixed-race girl named Kate was going to refuse, but she was not feeling well today, and she was frightened again just now, so she said thank you and sat next to Su Mu.

Seeing Kate nodding to herself with a smile, Su Mu's heartbeat instantly accelerated, and his mind was confused.

It's right to be happy at the moment, but the girl he likes is really sitting next to him, and he is completely at a loss for this, so he quickly smiles back, and then begins to worry about whether he was laughing too silly just now......
