Zhu Xiaohua first went to his uncle's house in the old neighborhood.

He honked the motorcycle horn at the entrance of the alley, and his eight-year-old cousin Huang Jun trotted all the way over.

Zhu Xiaohua drove him to the alley next door and asked, "How is it, did you hear what your father said?" ”

Huang Jun got off the motorcycle, walked to the motorcycle, clamped his legs between the wheels, and said, "I haven't heard my dad mention Zhu Xiaoming, but my dad said that he will go to the factory tomorrow." ”

Zhu Xiaohua asked: "Has your father taken anything else besides taking an electronic watch at home recently?" ”

Zhu Xiaohua thought that if he could know what his uncle Huang Ren was holding, he might be able to know what kind of factory it was. If you know what kind of factory it is, you can look for it one by one.

His younger brother, Zhu Xiaoming, may be in that factory.

Huang Jun shook his head: "Except for the electronic watch, there seems to be nothing else." ”

Electronic watches are products produced in Shenzhen and Guangdong in the south, not in Los Angeles. Zhu Xiaohua couldn't help but fall into deep thought, and the matter of finding his younger brother was once again gone.

Seeing Zhu Xiaohua's serious face, Huang Jun suddenly said: "I remember, my father also brought back white paper, a very thick kind of white paper." ”

He let go of the front wheel of the motorcycle with both legs, walked in the direction of home, and whispered, "I'll go get it, you can see." ”

Zhu Xiaohua's eyes lit up, nodded, and motioned for him to go and come back quickly.

Huang Jun trotted all the way and disappeared into the alley, and after a while, he ran back with a blank paper.

He handed over two folded pieces of paper to Zhu Xiaohua, the paper was full of crooked pencil words, and on the back there were four turtles to be evolved, "A, B, C, D".

The first pencil drawing of the turtle has only a hard shell with a stripe of the word "well".

The second turtle, in addition to having a hard shell, also has a head and a leg.

The third turtle is evolutionary, with a head, four legs, and a tail, and two oval turtle eggs behind the tail.

The fourth turtle has only a "well" striped shell and eyes.

Zhu Xiaohua looked at these stick figure turtles and couldn't help but laugh dumbly.

He knew it was a poker game that L.A. people often played, Fifty K. There are four people in the game, with the card face five, ten, K as the score, respectively, five points, ten, ten, each game is calculated a total score, the person with the least score won a turtle painting.

The first to complete the tortoise painting is the loser.

The person with the least number of tortoise strokes, or who is not drawn a tortoise, is the winner.

Zhu Xiaohua touched the white paper, these two pieces of paper were much thicker than ordinary paper, five or six times thicker than ordinary paper.

The paper is white, smooth to the touch, heavy and textured.

This is not ordinary paper, this is most likely photographic paper.

Huang Jun said: "The turtles on the back were drawn by me and a few friends. Xiaojun lost today, and he was painted as a turtle. He also learned how to crawl on the ground with a tortoise. ”

Seeing Zhu Xiaohua touching the paper silently, he asked again: "What kind of paper is this, it looks very expensive." ”

Zhu Xiaohua said: "Do you still have this kind of paper at home? ”

Huang Jun said: "There are many more. My dad's cabinet was full of two big bags of this paper. ”

Zhu Xiaohua said: "When you took the paper, your father didn't find out." I'll keep these two pieces of paper for now. ”

Huang Jun: "Absolutely not. My dad wasn't home when we drew turtles during the day. ”

Zhu Xiaohua nodded, folded the paper in half and put it in his satchel.

He reached out and touched Huang Jun's head and said, "Okay, go back and continue to investigate." Tomorrow this time, I will come to the mouth of the alley. Then tell me what you heard. ”

Huang Jun said: "What is the use of these two pieces of paper, can you know Xiaoming's whereabouts?" ”

Zhu Xiaohua shook his head: "Of course not." So you have to continue, and it's best to ask directly about Xiaoming's whereabouts. But you can't tell your dad that I taught you. You'll have to figure out how to ask him yourself. ”

Zhu Xiaohua believes that although this uncle Huang Ren is wary of himself everywhere, he may not be wary of his eight-year-old son. Maybe inadvertently, he leaked Zhu Xiaoming's whereabouts.

Huang Jun said, "I see. ”

Zhu Xiaohua asked him to go back first, and reminded him again before leaving: "I can't let your father know about the meeting between the two of us." ”

Huang Jun ran not far away, and turned around: "Well, cousin, we keep it a secret." ”

After sending Huang Jun away, Zhu Xiaohua took these two pieces of paper and sent photos to the customers who took pictures today.

He followed the address left by the Shaws during the day and went to the Los Angeles Guest House.

He parked his motorcycle at the door and went upstairs to knock on the door of the Shaws.

The one who opened the door was Mr. Shao, an old man with black-rimmed glasses.

When he saw Zhu Xiaohua, he was surprised and said, "You came over so soon." We thought it would be a few days before we got the photos. ”

Mr. Shao invited Zhu Xiaohua into the house to sit.

Zhu Xiaohua took out the photos from his satchel, and from the two photos wrapped in white paper, he took out two photos of Mr. Shao, handed them to him, and said, "Are you satisfied?" ”

Mr. Shao took the photo, took it to the light, looked at the light, and beckoned his wife to come over.

When the two got to the photo, Mr. Shao's wife held an aluminum teapot in one hand and said appreciatively, "It's a really good shot." We are satisfied, there is nothing more to say. ”

Mr. Shao's wife looked at the photo, and did not forget to pour the water from the teapot into the glass on the cabinet.

It was not tea, but a brown viscous liquid, and Zhu Xiaohua smelled a strong aroma of coffee.

Zhu Xiaohua couldn't help but admire: "What a fragrant latte." ”

Mr. Shao's wife was also stunned, she didn't expect that the young man in front of her could smell the aroma of latte.

Thinking of Zhu Xiaohua's unique way of taking pictures during the day, others shouted eggplant and cheese, but he called Tian Qi.

The Shaw family became interested in Zhu Xiaohua in front of them again.

Both of them felt that the young man in front of them was a little different, whether it was his words and deeds, conversation, or temperament, he was a little different from the Los Angeles people they had come into contact with.

Mr. Shao's wife said happily: "Then guess again, where do I get my coffee?" ”

She handed Zhu Xiaohua a cup of coffee in her hand.

Zhu Xiaohua was stunned, and Mr. Shao motioned for him to take it with encouraging eyes.

Zhu Xiaohua politely took the coffee and said, "Then I'm welcome." ”

He picked up the cup and took a sip, the coffee tasted slightly bitter, the entrance was extremely smooth, and there was a faint aroma of grass in the sweet and bitter.

In his previous life, he had tasted too much coffee, especially as a financier in the magic capital, and he had never drunk Starbucks coffee.

Sometimes I stay up late and work overtime, and bitter coffee is indispensable in refreshing food.

Naturally, he knows the characteristics of these coffees well.

With such a smooth taste, it is naturally the best of coffees, and it is a coffee produced in Brazil.
