It was still dark, and the eastern horizon was a little white in the distance.

Outside the car window is an empty grassy field, and houses are rarely visible.

Percy, a fat young man, rested his left hand on the side of the car window, and the cigarette butt on it glowed red.

He raised his hand to his mouth and smoked, then turned his head and spat out the window.

He looked a little tired, and when he saw the roadside road sign of the Great Falls City, he opened his mouth and laughed, finally it was almost over. Percy was still a little incredulous at the thought of that generous commission, he had heard how rich people spent money before, but it was the first time he had met such a bold customer.

A week ago, a phone call came to his pet store and he had what the customer needed, but it wasn't in the same condition. Driven by $10,000, he ran dozens of pet stores in Iowa and Wyoming during this time, and then found the little guy he liked.

Percy turned his head and looked behind him, where they were huddled together, as if it was a little cold, and gently rolled up the window.

As we drove all the way south, the sun was already halfway out, and it seemed that it was about to dawn.

On the second floor of the villa by the lake, a small copper and gold alarm clock ticked by the bedside, and the hour hand gradually pointed to 6 o'clock.

The boy got up very early today, and there was a red disc hanging in the air outside, so he hurriedly dressed, washed and finished his hair, and opened the door and walked to the next room.

Unfortunately, the door was closed, and it seemed that the girl had not woken up yet.

I chatted in the living room until ten o'clock last night and didn't go to bed until I went to bed, but Han Xuan was in a particularly good spirit today.

Guo's mother was holding a cup and was about to brush her teeth, but suddenly saw her son walking over from outside, stretched out her head and asked with a smile: "Little birthday star, aren't you lazy to bed for your birthday?"

looked at the side with a wicked smile, and whispered to Han Xuan: "I still see my little daughter-in-law, and I can't sleep with excitement?"

"What a little daughter-in-law, Anya and I are friendship, a pure friendship between two children!"

The boy lowered his voice and explained excitedly.

Mother Guo waved the toothbrush in her hand indifferently, with a face full of disbelief: "Last time I went to Dr. Lucy's house, you were not like this to Wendy." ”

"She's so naïve, okay! I don't want to play with her Barbie dolls and those big dolls!"

"Son, do you know what you look like now?"

"What?"

"It's like Fat Ding has fried his hair. ”

"Okay, I'm going to brush my teeth, you go feed them. The mother smiled and pushed the boy away, no longer teasing him, and walked to the bathroom inside.

Han Xuan looked at the side speechlessly, the cat raised its head and sold cute, this is really none of its business.

In the kitchen, Joanna was making breakfast with an apron, and when she saw Han Xuan, she said with a smile: "Ten year old happy man, are you hungry? Wait a minute, I'll be fine soon." ”

"Let's wait for them to eat together today, thank you. ”

"It's okay, I love to cook food. Joanna put the fried eggs on the plate, paused, and whispered to the boy, "That girl had purple eyes yesterday, didn't she, purple?"

"Yes, Anya has always been like this. ”

"I thought I was wrong, I was thinking about it all night, you see, the dark circles came out. ”

Pointing to the frame of her eyes, Joanna said, "I've seen green eyes, and the man is from Western Europe, but this is the first time I've seen purple." ”

"Because they're very rare, there are only a few hundred in the world. Han Xuan shrugged his shoulders and said, poured some cat food into the plastic bowl, and squatted next to Fat Ding to watch it eat.

"It's beautiful, I mean that girl. ”

"You too, Ms. Joanna, the other young cowboys are jealous of Ciel. ”

"You're really good at talking, I'll make your breakfast today. Joanna turned around and looked at the boy and grinned: "By the way, someone came in the morning, and he said that he was looking for your father, and I saw that the boss hadn't gotten up yet, so I asked him to wait in the living room first." ”

"So early? Did he say anything. Han Xuan raised his head and asked.

He didn't say this, but it seemed that he was here to deliver something, and I saw that he carried a box and covered it with a cloth and didn't know what. ”

"I'll go see it, good morning, Ms. Joanna. ”

"You too, remember to come over for breakfast later. ”

Han Xuan nodded and came to the living room, and saw a person lying on the sofa, like an oversized version of a fat ding, with a swimming ring on his stomach, which could be seen through his coat.

Finding that he was asleep, the boy crept over and there was a soft noise in the living room. Han Xuan was stunned for a moment, thinking that he had stepped on something, but then the sound came out again, and he realized that it was the box next to the sofa ringing.

Approaching it, the boy curiously lifted the black cloth, and the two little ones were curled up, looking at him with their little eyes open.

Inside was a squirrel-like animal, only larger than a fist, black and white, with a thick tail and a round body.

The black one stood up, two small paws leaning inward in front of him, revealing a white belly, and his expression was a little nervous.

"How's that, cute. The fat man on the sofa didn't know when he woke up, and said to Han Xuan: "They are South American chinchillas." ”

Then he came to the boy, pointed at them, and said, "The white ones are pure white chinchillas, only the ears are black, and there are very few of them." ”

"The black one is velvet black, and it's very rare. I searched for them for a week, and out of hundreds of them, I chose these two, and you can see their faces and bodies, it's amazing. ”

"Is there any difference?" asked Han Xuan as he opened the cage and put the white one on his hand.

Percy scratched his head, looked at them, and said, "90% of the South American chinchillas are standard gray, and these two are not only rare in color, but more importantly, they have round faces. ”

"Round-faced?"

The boy looked at the chinchilla and then at the fat man, and secretly sighed in his heart: You are rounder, okay.

The white chinchilla in his hand stood quietly on Han Xuan's palm, and the boy touched it and said, "Its fur is really soft." ”

"So they almost went extinct. Percy replied, approaching the velvet black one, "In the sixteenth century, the Europeans found their fur to be very suitable for coats, so they hunted down the South American chinchilla in large numbers. It almost went extinct in the 19th century."

"In 1923, Mr. M.F. Chapman of our country brought back eleven of them, and only then did they multiply. ”

"Then why are they being sold now?" the boy asked.

"Because there are enough of them now, they really like you, usually you just feed Timothy grass and alfalfa grass, and it's best to keep them outside the house, they will ......"

Han Qianshan went downstairs, was stunned when he saw this scene, and said, "There are rats in the house?"

"Didn't you buy it for me?" asked the boy, standing up.

"No, I haven't bought it yet. Father Han walked over and wanted to touch them but was dodged, and stretched out his hand to the fat man with a smile: "May I ask who asked you to send them over?"

"Hello, sir, I'm Percy. The fat man thought for a moment and said, "Is it a gentleman surnamed Guo?" ”

"Sir, haha, that's my grandfather. The boy laughed and turned his head to look at the chinchilla in his hand: "They look like chinchillas." ”

"What is My Neighbor Totoro?" Percy asked in a whisper.

Han Xuan's movements suddenly froze, and he was relieved when he thought that it was 93 years now, and explained with a smile: "It's a movie by Japanese cartoonist Hayao Miyazaki, who was shortlisted for the Saturn Award in the United States in 88, and I have seen photos in the newspaper." ”

Percy was surprised, grabbed her fingers and calculated, and turned her head to look at the boy: "A lady just said that you are ten years old today, so you can read the newspaper at the age of five?"

"He understood it when he was more than a year old. ”

Father Han smiled and said, "Thank you for coming over so early, do you want to stay and have breakfast together?"

"No, I'm still back to Billings, the pet shop hasn't been open for days. Percy smiled and refused, "So you are that genius, I was in the tenth grade at the time, and my dad saw the news and forced me to do my homework every day." ”

The father and son looked at each other, and their hearts were happy, and the bitter master finally came to the door.

"What a painful memory. Percy put the chinchilla in the cage and said, "It's not too early, I'm going to go first, by the way, the white one is just a male, two just a pair, boy, take care of it and have a baby." ”

Seeing the car leave, father and son returned to the house, and as soon as they sat down, they heard a scream: "Ahhhh

Han Xuan hurriedly ran to the kitchen, Joanna was squatting in the corner of the kitchen, holding a frying pan in her hand, Fat Ding was pressing on the chinchilla, and the black chinchilla was about to roll her eyes.

Holding the fat cat by the back of the neck, the boy held the chinchilla in the palm of his hand, the little thing turned around, and hid along the arm into his arms, and the girl's curious voice came from behind him: "What is it?"

"It's a South American chinchilla. The boy smiled and turned back, handed Totoro to Anya, and looked around the corner, "It's my new pet, Joanna, you can't let Fat Ding catch it anymore." ”

After speaking, he looked at the fat cat, the threat was strong, and the fat man meowed very interestingly.

Joannana looked at the little one, stepped back away, the pan still in her hand, and said, "But they are still mice." ”

"No, sister, I think they're cute. The girl held Totoro with a smile on her face and raised her hand to show her.

My Neighbor Totoro stood up, feeling afraid to turn his head to look at the fat ding, round and cute, Joanna saw its whole picture clearly, and walked over in small steps and reached out to touch it, and touched it again, and touched it again, and seemed to like the soft feeling very much.

"There's another one in the living room, it's white. ”

Anya heard Han Xuan's words, raised her head and opened her eyes wide: "Really, I'm going to see, where is it!"

……

"Wow, that's fun. The girl lay on the edge of the sofa and said to Han Xuan: "Do they have names?"

"Not yet, why don't you make one for them. ”

"Well, the white one is called Minnie, and the black one is called Mickey. The girl tilted her head and thought for a long time to preach.

"Minnie Mouse and Mickey? Mickey Mouse, nice name. The boy paused and continued to say to Anya, "But white is male, and black is female." ”

“…… Then it's the other way around, Han Xuan, look, they poop!"

Percy sneezed on the way.

"Ah, I seem to have forgotten to tell them that the South American chinchilla can't control its ass!"
