In the queue in front of the cash register, Zhou Li was chatting with Lu Qiaoshui while pushing a cart full of snacks at a turtle speed.

It wasn't until later that Lu Wanshui, who didn't want to listen to Zhou Li's nonsense anymore, threw a cart of things to him and ran out for a walk by himself.

In the middle of the checkout, she came back again, stood on tiptoe and snatched all the steel change in her wallet from Zhou Li's arms, and then ran away again.

It wasn't until the confused Zhou Li finished settling the account and went out of the door with a large bag and a small bag that he saw Lu Wanshui squatting in front of the crane machine with a distressed face.

At that moment, he suddenly had the urge to cover his face and sigh: "Sure enough, ......"

In addition to 'horror films', Lu Xiaoshui also has an invincible natural enemy, which is called a crane machine.

The so-called crane machine, what is the scientific name, what class it belongs to, and Zhou Li does not know.

It's just that in his understanding, this is a strange machine that will mysteriously light up after one or two steel hammers are stuffed in, and it looks like it can catch the doll inside for a limited time through a joystick, but in fact, it can't catch anything at all.

The only function is to exude an alluring fragrance like a man-eating flower, like a monster to tempt children to stuff a steel hammer into their mouths, but they will not spit out anything.

Now in Zhou Li's eyes, half of Lu Qiaoshui's steel hammer has been swallowed, but he is still 'dying'......

While Lu Qiaoshui was standing in front of the operating lever and engrossed, Zhou Li leaned behind her and asked, "How much is it?" ”

Lu Qiao, who was engrossed in grasping the joystick, subconsciously replied: "Ten pieces...... Huh!? ”

Suddenly found Zhou Li behind her, she was startled, the joystick in her hand was crooked, and as a result, the claws in the machine that were hard to aim were crooked again, hanging down, and grabbing empty.

Looking at Lu Wanshui, who was lying in front of the crane machine and hanging his head in frustration, Zhou Li sighed like this: "Look, you know that you can't catch it." ”

As a result, the afterthought made the little girl angry again, she glared at Zhou Li angrily, and complained righteously: "It's all you who interfere with me!" I'm pretty much close! ”

"Ho, huh?" Zhou Lifeng, who was accused, looked away calmly and calmly.

On the other side, Lu Xiaoshui's anger tank, which was ignored, was about to burst, and he began to look for a place on Zhou Li's body with a serious face.

Under that glance, Zhou Li took a step back with some horror, and finally realized the seriousness of the problem.

Before Lu Qiaoshui showed off his decisive weapon, Xiao Baifang, he spread his hands sincerely and said, "Okay, I'll compensate you for one!" ”

Unexpectedly, Zhou Li had a good attitude of admitting his mistakes, and Lu Xiaoshui was also stunned for a moment, and asked suspiciously: "How to compensate?" ”

"Isn't that easy? Get out of the way and let the pros come. ”

Zhou Li stuffed the two big bags in his hand into Lu Qiaoshui's hands, rolled up his sleeves and stood in front of the crane machine, and took out two steel hammers from his trouser pocket that survived Lu Qiaoshui's sweep, and turned his head to Lu Qiaoshui: "Say, which one do you want?" ”

Holding two big bags, Lu Xiaoshui blocked his face by his snacks, and said sullenly: "Hmph, you just want to have a play, right?" ”

The corners of Zhou Li's mouth twitched, and while Lu Qianshui was holding snacks in both hands, he stretched out his hand and scratched the top of Lu Qianshui's head wantonly.

In the end, his index finger circled, flicked on Lu Wanshui's forehead, and said helplessly: "If you want it, hurry up, otherwise you won't have a chance." ”

"Hmph, you can't catch it anyway."

Lu Qiaoshui held his snacks, tried to raise his eyes from the middle of several bags, and after looking at them for a long time, he said in a low voice: "...... My Neighbor Totoro. ”

After Zhou Li searched for a long time, he finally found the dusty big-bellied doll in the corner of the crane machine.

After looking at the dolls inside, he asked with some doubts: "That rabbit with white ears and red eyes is also very good-looking, why not that?" ”

Lu Wanshui's voice came from behind the two bags: "That is unlucky, I want Totoro." ”

Unlucky? Zhou Li looks very good-looking. How nice this is, with a gold ring on your ear! But if she doesn't like it, forget it.

"Okay, then Totoro."

Zhou Li shrugged his shoulders, stuffed the coin in his hand into his mouth, took a deep breath, and held the joystick.

Lu Xiaoshui, who was holding two large bags of snacks, couldn't see what was in front of him, he could only hear the music from the crane machine, and the sound of the rocker constantly turning, until finally, everything stopped.

There was silence for a while, and Zhou Li didn't say a word.

Sensing that he didn't speak, Lu Wanshui made a lost voice behind the two packets of potato chips: "I said you couldn't catch it, right?" Returning the ......"

As she spoke, she turned around and said with some frustration: "Let's go, I won't play anymore." ”

Then, she felt a furry thing being placed on her shoulder, and Zhou Li's voice came from behind her: "That's what you said. ”

She turned her head in disbelief and looked at Totoro grinning on her shoulder, and couldn't help but let out a surprised sound.

"You see, this kind of thing has to be done professionally."

Behind her, Zhou Li rubbed her hair with a smile, and the cyan in her eyes slowly dissipated: "The chinchilla you want, fortunately, you won't be dishonored." ”

As he spoke, he picked up the two bags full of snacks from Lu Qianshui's arms, held them in his arms, turned his head to Lu Qianshui and said, "Let's go, don't be in a daze." ”

In the back, Lu Wanshui held the doll, nodded slightly, stretched out his hand to grab the corner of his clothes, and followed him silently.

After a long time, Zhou Li heard a voice behind him.

"Zhou Li."

Turning his head to look at Lu Qianshui, he nodded and responded: "Well, I'm here, what's wrong?" ”

Lu Qiaoshui raised a palm and pointed to the snacks in his arms: "I'll also carry a bag." ”

Zhou Li looked at her small body with some suspicion and asked, "Can you move?" ”

Lu Qiaoshui was rarely angry, just turned his head and muttered in a low voice: "It's okay, I'm not a child......"

"Okay." Zhou Li smiled and put a bag in her arms.

Holding the bag in her arms hard, she ran up in small steps, chasing after Zhou Li, letting the afternoon sun stretch her shadow.

For the first time, she felt that this winter was not too cold.

The sky was clear, the sun was shining on me, and it was as warm as if it was about to blow away the unseen sadness.

Behind Zhou Li, Lu Qiaoshui chased his footsteps, showed a smile, and whispered: "Zhou Li." ”

In front, Zhou Li responded: "Huh? I'm here. ”

"It's okay, call it." She shook her head with a smile and raised her voice: "Zhou Li! ”

"Uh-huh, uh-huh, I'm here."

Looking at his helpless appearance, Lu Qiaoshui smiled and nodded: "I know." ”

……

When he returned home, it was already one o'clock in the afternoon, Lu Qiaoshui hadn't eaten anything in the morning, and he had been crying for so long, and his stomach was already hungry.

Looking at Lu Qianshui, who was lying on the sofa and was so hungry that he was tumbling, Zhou Li could only go into the kitchen again without stopping: "It's okay immediately, no snacks are allowed." ”

"It doesn't matter if you eat a little." Lu Qiaoshui muttered in a low voice, quietly opened the potato chips, and replied to him in a raised voice: "Oh, I know! ”

In the kitchen, Zhou Li tried very hard to pretend that he couldn't hear the sound of the plastic bag being opened, so he could only sigh helplessly, praying that she wouldn't eat too much, but he couldn't eat lunch.

In the living room, Lu Qiaoshui was holding snacks and snickered when he heard the sound of a spatula coming from the kitchen.

Lying on the couch in the living room, she looked up at the family portrait on the wall. Under the light of the afternoon sun, the face sleeping in the picture frame is still smiling, and the eyes are gentle.

She grabbed the rag from the coffee table, wiped it on the sofa, stood on tiptoe to wipe the dust off the frame, and smiled goodbye to sadness in the same sunlight.

After that, it's the life of two people.
