97. Ever thought about it
On the way with the four children, Qin Shiou roughly understood the personalities of the four people.
The oldest black teenager is the most stable and old, and the blonde teenager likes to pretend to be a little adult; The blonde girl is quieter and smarter, and she doesn't talk much, but she can find the point of Qin Shiou's speech; The remaining teenager was a little shy and inferior, walking at the back with his head down.
"Where are you from?"
As soon as Qin Shiou's question came out, the blond-haired young man rushed to say, "Little Waterfall City ......"
There is a Great Rapids in the United States, located in the middle of Montana, and Little Falls has nothing to do with it, located in the northwest of New Brunswick, Canada, but close to the United States.
The name of the Cascade City is Ed Mendston, located at the confluence of the St. John's River and the Madavoska River, is a small city with a population of 12,000, mainly pulp industry, but also produces underwear, shoes, gloves, etc., and the economic development is relatively slow.
The black boy coughed, and the blonde boy laughed, knowing that the eldest brother was reminding him not to talk nonsense, so he shut up.
Qin Shiou knew what they were worried about, so he smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't notify your local police station, and no one will take you back." But don't you want to go back? You can go to an orphanage. ”
The blonde boy wanted to show himself so much that he forgot the black boy's warning and replied, "Who wants to go to the orphanage?" We just got out ......"
The black teenager got angry and coughed loudly.
The blonde girl smiled and explained to Qin Shiou: "Sir, we really don't want to go back, now we can at least eat enough and find what we like to eat, when we were in the orphanage, although we didn't have to work, we couldn't eat enough, and we couldn't eat what we wanted to eat." ”
"Also, in the orphanage, we didn't have anything else to do but pray to God and listen to our teachers talk about the Bible."
Qin Shiou asked them to sit at a round table in front of the villa, stretched out the parasols, and brought them a few bottles of drinks.
The four children sat together with some restraint, and the drinks were placed on the table, but no one moved.
Qin Shiou smiled, handed over a bottle by himself, and when he handed it to the shy blonde boy, he raised his head and said softly, "Thank you." ”
At this time, Qin Shiou found out that the young man had a pair of mandarin duck eyes, also known as yin and yang eyes, one of the pupils was turquoise blue, and the other was dark brown.
Whether it is blue eyes or dark brown, they are actually beautiful, but if a person's eyes are two colors, it is not very good-looking, and even in Western Canada, this kind of eyes are called 'devil's eyes', and legend has it that Satan's eyes are like this.
Finding that Qin Shiou was paying attention to the color of his pupils, the young man quickly lowered his head and tightened the drink bottle with both hands.
"Oh, sorry, man." Qin Shiou patted the young man's shoulder and said, "Your eyes are beautiful, believe me, they are really charming, you will be proud of them in the future." ”
The young man with low self-esteem quickly glanced up at Qin Shiou, and then showed a restrained smile, not bright enough, but it was better than nothing.
Qin Shiou went to the kitchen to make a fruit salad made with raspberries, blueberries, blackberries, apples, snake fruits and dragon fruit, he opened the refrigerator and looked at it, there was still some lard in it, and it happened that there was still a lot of rice left from the rice cooked last night, so he scrambled an egg fried rice with lard.
He is now more and more proficient in cooking, a simple egg fried rice, fried egg yolk rice white, sprinkled with chives and a little green leaves, looks yellow, white and green, making people appetize.
As for the taste, let alone the aroma of the pork lard fried rice, which has already provoked the tiger and the leopard to wander around, lick their tongues and bark several times.
"Hey, baby, I know it's time for you to grow up, but you have to be in moderation? Understand, temperance! Qin Shiou squatted down and touched the little guy's head, the tiger and the leopard stuck out their tongues and licked his hands, Qin Shiou laughed, "Okay, if you're hungry, then go eat your biting bones." ”
He fried the sausages again and brought them out to the four children.
The sea monster asked, "Boss, why are you cooking for them?" If you pity them, why don't you go to the town and buy some pizza or something for them? ”
This is the Canadian people, the townspeople can be kind but also cold, they are warm to their neighbors and acquaintances, but they are wary of outsiders.
Qin Shiou was moved, these children were seven or eight years old, and the eldest was ten years old at most, wandering outside at such a young age reminded him of his childhood, when his family conditions were not very good, his clothes were not decent, and the food was not good.
However, at that time, Qin Shiou felt that what he lacked most was not bright clothes or delicious food, but dignity.
A child's heart is always sensitive and suspicious, and this age is the time when the child's self-esteem is the strongest, and he has to give not only a piece of food, but also a respect.
Qin Shiou handed out the tableware to them and gestured: "This is the fried rice I made, it tastes very good, you can eat as much as you like." ”
He was worried that the children would not be able to let go in front of him, so he put down the rice bowl and left with the gluttonous and drooling tigers and leopards.
Xiong Da hid at the door and stared at the four children with bad intentions, and when he saw Qin Shiou leaving, his eyes rolled, and he carefully climbed out to scare the four children.
Qin Shiou was angry and funny, and shouted: "Xiong Da, hurry up and roll over, or I will throw you into the sea!" ”
Xiong Da regretfully looked at the child who was trembling with fear because of the discovery of it, and crawled towards Qin Shiou with his fat buttocks.
Qin Shiou was studying the development plan of the fishery in the living room, and after a while he looked out, only to see four children sitting on the grass eating with plates, instead of sitting at the table.
A few people were obviously hungry, gobbling up their plates, their cheeks bulging wide, gulping on fried rice, rolling their eyes when they were choked up, and after they washed down with water, they would continue to gobble up.
The tiger and the leopard ran out in the living room for a while, one guy took a bite gum bone, and the children's appetite also affected the two little guys, who were lying next to them and gobbled up chewing gum, but unfortunately they couldn't bite it in a short time.
Auerbach drove a BMW 750 to the fishing grounds, and when he saw this shiny luxury car, the four children who were eating quickly put down their plates and stared nervously at the car.
Auerbach got out of the car, looked at the four children in surprise, and then whistled to the tiger and the leopard, and the two little ones wagged their tails when they saw their acquaintances, and after running out, they remembered the chewing gum, and went back to hold it in their mouths before running to meet Auerbach.
The bear lay lazily in the doorway basking in the sun, and when he saw Auerbach, he opened his mouth humming, motionless, and extremely lazy.
Auerbach laughed, reached out and scratched Xiong Da's soft belly, Xiong Da was strangely comfortable to be scratched, and grinned and hummed.
Qin Shiou came out and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Auerbach said: "It's nothing, just to inform you, there is an air flow alarm in St. John's, there is a warm air stream in the Newfoundland fishing grounds, and soon there will be strong winds and waves, so you don't go to sea." ”
"What's going on with these kids?"
"Oh, a few stray children, quite pitiful, escaped from the orphanage in Little Falls City, and somehow wandered all the way to our farewell island. Just now Xiong Da scared them when he saw them, so I made a meal to comfort the children. ”
Auerbach looked at the children and sighed: "The government has always been criticized for raising orphans and supporting the elderly, by the way, have you ever thought about adopting these children?" You can help the fishing ground avoid taxes. ”
Qin Shiou shook his head and smiled: "Then forget it, I can give them some travel expenses, but adopt them?" ”
He shook his head again, he wasn't ready to be a father, or to do his duty. As for tax avoidance? He didn't lack that money.
