Chapter 67: Vignette
"Okay then, I already know what I need to know, now it's your turn, do you have any other questions for me?"
Hearing Zhou Xin's words, the little girl showed a thoughtful look, and while thinking about her head, she turned towards her younger brother, and suddenly, she exclaimed: "Blue, put it down, that can't be eaten." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Seeing Aina's violent reaction, Zhou Xin was startled at first, and he hurriedly turned his head in the direction of Blue, wanting to know what was going on. However, when Zhou Xin saw the little boy's movements, he immediately had doubts in his heart, not that the little boy was abnormal, but that it looked too normal. At this time, Blue was holding the apple in his hand and looked at his sister blankly, judging from the bite marks on the apple, Blue should have been eating the apple before the little girl scolded him.
He turned to Christy with a puzzled expression on his face, and then noticed that Christy had just turned to look at him, with the same puzzled look on her face.
After scolding her brother, Aina's face suddenly turned angry, and she quickly stood up, walked quickly between Zhou Xin and Christie, and walked in front of her brother. Next, the little girl's movements completely surprised Zhou Xin. She snatched the apple from Blue's hand, and after a glance, the expression on her face grew angrier.
"What's the matter, can't they eat this?" Seeing the little girl's movements, Zhou Xin asked Christy in front of him suspiciously.
"No, they ate one each before you came." At the same time that Aina stood up, Christy's attention returned to the little girl, and she subconsciously replied as she looked at the siblings next to her. Suddenly, she exclaimed, "What are you going to do?" ”
At the same time as Christy screamed, the angry Aina raised a hand and wanted to fight, but before the raised hand fell, she was caught by the quick-eyed Zhou Xin.
"Slowly, slowly." Zhou Xin grabbed the little girl's arm tightly and stopped, "What the hell is going on, why are you hitting your brother?" He asked, looking at it with a look of confusion.
At this time, Aina realized that Zhou Xin and Christy were still standing beside her, just like changing her face, and the angry expression on the little girl's face changed to a frightened look in an instant. Then, she bowed to Zhou Xin again and again: "Uncle Captain, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, my brother didn't mean to want to eat more, please don't punish him, if you want to punish, punish me." After apologizing several times, seeing that Zhou Xin still didn't react, she hesitated for a moment and said ruthlessly, "If it really doesn't work, then you can deduct my share of food today." ”
Just when the little girl had just apologized to herself, Zhou Xin didn't react yet, but when Aina said it a second time, he still heard it clearly. But although he heard clearly what the little girl was saying, Zhou Xin still didn't understand what she meant for a while, so he sat there stunned. And Christie's reaction was similar to Zhou Xin's, and she also listened to the little girl's apology in confusion.
When Zhou Xin heard the little girl's last words, he finally realized that he should answer something, but he still didn't figure out what Aina meant, "Ahh Hearing Zhou Xin's agreement, the little girl finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then she turned her head to Blue and scolded, "Why don't you come over and apologize to Uncle Captain." ”
"Wait!" At this time, Zhou Xin realized what he had promised, "What do you do with deducting a day's food?" ”
The little girl misunderstood the meaning of Zhou Xin's words, her head turned back again, and her face showed an aggrieved expression, "Isn't it okay to deduct a day's food?" Then you can only detain it for two days, Uncle Captain begs you not to detain any more, if you detain it any more, people will really starve to death. Aina said in a pleading tone.
"Slowly, slowly." At this time, Zhou Xin finally realized what had happened in the previous period, and he asked Aina suspiciously, "What do you mean - because your brother ate an apple, I have to punish him?" And you don't want him to be punished, that's why you want to be punished for him? ”
Aina nodded and explained eagerly: "My brother used to be very well-behaved, but today I don't know why I ate an extra one, well--it's food called apples, Uncle Captain, don't punish my brother, punish me if you want to punish me." ”
Hearing the little girl's answer, combined with what Christy had told him before, the sister and brother had already eaten an apple before, then Zhou Xin vaguely understood what the little girl meant, and then he asked tentatively: "What do you mean - because your brother ate an extra apple, he will be punished?" ”
"Isn't that so?" At this time, Aina also heard the abnormality in Zhou Xin's tone, and asked suspiciously.
"Who told you this? When did this rule come out of the way on a spaceship? Zhou Xin subconsciously looked at Christie, but he saw that Christy was also looking at him blankly, and shook his head at himself, indicating that it was not her.
"Isn't that really the case?" The look on Aina's face turned into disbelief, and she confirmed to Zhou Xin again.
"How could there be such strange rules on the ship?" Zhou Xin explained, "Although the food on the spacecraft is limited, it is only a general range, and everyone can still decide how much to eat or how little to eat, and no one will ever be punished for eating more." Christy, did you say that when you joked with them before? He turned to Christy and asked.
"Nope." Christy replied, "At first I went to bring them breakfast, and after breakfast I brought them here to relax, and then here I met Xiaobai, and you came before you had a little fun, and I have never joked with them like this." ”
"No, no, I didn't hear it from Sister Christie." Aina hurriedly explained to Christy next to her, and after saying this, her face flushed slightly, and then the little girl continued to explain with some embarrassment, "The rules on our side are like this, everyone can only take a certain amount of food every day, and once someone is found to take more or steal food, they will be punished extremely severely." ”
"That's why you're so nervous?" After listening to Aina's explanation, Zhou Xin finally understood, and he asked with a smile.
The little girl's face turned even redder, and she didn't answer, but nodded embarrassedly.
At this time, Blue, who had a frightened look before, also understood that his sister and he should be fine, and his attention was once again focused on the apple that Aina had only nibbled on twice, "Sister-I still want to eat." He said timidly to the little girl.
Hearing the little boy's words, Zhou Xin immediately smiled, and he said to Aina, who was standing there a little embarrassed: "What are you still thinking, give him the apple." ”
"Oh, oh—" The little girl finally reacted, and then she handed the apple in her hand to her brother who looked at her expectantly. Blue took the apple as fast as he could, and as before, he continued to nibble on it with both hands, a look of satisfaction on his face.
Seeing her brother happily eating the apple, Aina's eyes showed a look of longing. At this moment, a big hand appeared in front of her eyes, still holding a big red apple in her hand, and following this hand, she saw Zhou Xin looking at her with a smile on his face.
Waving the apple in his hand, Zhou Xin said with a smile: "Don't you want to eat it too?" Take it. As he spoke, he held the apple in front of Aina.
"Really?" Looking at the red apple in front of her, Aina still seemed hesitant.
"Don't worry, I won't punish you." Zhou Xin joked, holding the apple, he touched Aina's hand.
Slowly, Aina took the apple handed by Zhou Xin, but the look on her face still looked a little tangled. After thinking about it, she still didn't bring the apple to her mouth, but stuffed it into her own pocket, but the pocket of her clothes was so small that she didn't put it in after several attempts.
"Why don't you eat it yourself?" Seeing her movements, Zhou Xin asked strangely.
"I—I've already eaten it." The little girl tried hard and said, "Mom and Dad must have never eaten such a delicious thing, and I want to bring it back to them." ”
"......" Hearing Aina's answer, Zhou Xin always felt a little weird, and at the same time, he also had more doubts. But just as he was still thinking about the meaning of the little girl's words, there was a "hiss" sound in front of him, and he immediately came back to his senses.
Focusing on the front, Zhou Xin found that with Aina's efforts, she still did not succeed in stuffing the apple into the bag, but tore the bag because she tried too hard. Just when he saw her, the little girl's face changed to Zhou Xin's familiar scared look before, but this time Zhou Xin obviously understood, and he hurriedly opened his mouth to comfort: "It's okay, it's just that you tore your clothes, just change it later, you don't need to be so afraid." ”
"Really?" Aina breathed a clear sigh of relief, and she confirmed to Zhou Xin once again.
Zhou Xin nodded, "It's just an ordinary dress, there are many more in the warehouse, just let Christy take you to pick a suitable one later." Christy nodded her head in acknowledgment.
At this time, Aina finally put her mind at ease, and at this time, Zhou Xin continued: "There is also an apple, you should eat this apple yourself, you don't need to hide it, if you hide it for too long, it will spoil and you can't eat it." If you want to bring some back to your parents, I'll just give you some when the time comes. You don't have to worry about not being enough, there are plenty of them. As he spoke, Zhou Xin pointed to the apple trees hanging around him.
"Really?" Aina had an expression of disbelief on her face, and seeing Zhou Xin nodding heavily, she finally slowly raised her hand and brought the apple in her hand to her mouth.
"Wait." Christy stopped her and snatched the apple from Aina's hand. This action startled Aina, who had just focused her attention on the apple, and Zhou Xin also stared at her with a puzzled gaze when she saw Christy's movements.
Christy didn't pay attention to Zhou Xin's gaze, she calmly took out a piece of paper from her pocket, wiped the apple in her hand carefully, and then she stretched the apple in front of Aina again, "Huh." Seeing the hesitation on Aina's face, she explained, "Didn't you rub the apple on your body just now, I just wiped it clean." As she spoke, she touched the little girl's hand with the apple.
After a moment's hesitation, the little girl took the apple from Christy's hand and held it back in front of her. However, after staring at the apple in front of her for a long time, she refused to move.
"Why don't you eat it, eat it quickly." After a while, Christy finally couldn't help but urge.
"Eat with confidence." Zhou Xin also answered.
Hearing both of them say this, Aina finally acted, opened her mouth slightly, and took a shallow bite of the apple. The moment she bit down, a look of satisfaction appeared on her face.
"Sit down and eat slowly." Zhou Xin gently took the little girl's hand and said.
This time, Aina didn't refuse, she walked back to her place and sat down, and then she began to nibble on the apple in front of her.
Zhou Xin saw that the little girl in front of him ate very slowly, and every bite was always very small. Moreover, every time she took a bite of the apple flesh, she always had to put it in her mouth and chew it for a long time before swallowing it, but even so, her face showed a look of satisfaction. The curious Zhou Xin turned his head to look to the other side, and then found that at this time, Blue's movements were almost exactly the same as his sister's, and after such a long time, there was actually more than half of the apple left in his hand.
"Were they like that before?" Looking at the actions of the two of them, Zhou Xin asked Christy in a low voice.
Christy nodded, "Indeed, this is how they reacted when they ate their first apple, and I think it's weird." ”
"Is it really that delicious?" Zhou Xin felt a little incomprehensible, and he opened his mouth to ask the siblings.
"It's delicious." The little boy only said two words, and then continued to struggle with the apple in his hand, but Zhou Xin could hear it, and the happiness that could not be concealed from these two words was revealed. The little girl didn't say a word, and nodded vigorously as she ate the apple in her hand.
It took a full twenty minutes for Aina to finish the apple in her hand, and Zhou Xin noticed that she ate very carefully, and every bit of meat on it was gnawed off by her, and the whole apple was left with a very small core at the end, and if she hadn't stopped it, she would have even sent the remaining core into her mouth.
After eating the whole apple, a satisfied expression appeared on the little girl's face, and she spoke......
