176 I Swallow Poison(2/3)
The four people entered the supermarket in a grand manner and quickly attracted everyone's attention. Yes, the four of them were very beautiful people, and it seemed difficult not to attract everyone's attention.
Although Mint is still wearing work clothes, she is no longer the old maid she used to be, but a fashionable and beautiful white-collar beauty. Zhan Yifan is dressed more casually, because the weather is hot,
So I wore a white T-shirt with a black vest, black jodhpurs, and casual leather shoes. I also had a handsome face that combined Chinese and Western styles. I was the target of screams from women wherever I went.
It just so happens that even the stern-faced Yin is a handsome man. Although he is very young at the age of 16, he has a very steady personality. That calmness makes him exude a charm from the inside out, making him a younger man.
The object of admiration for young girls. And Kazuyu, even though he is only five years old, is so handsome that everyone loves him. Now he is white and has a watermelon head raised by mint. Everyone who sees him is attracted by it.
I want to reach out and touch it and squeeze it.
Mint soon discovered that maybe going to the supermarket was the wrong choice? There were too many people around who looked at her differently.
"Hurry up and finish shopping, let's leave." Mint said in a low voice. Zhan Yifan didn't feel anything at all. He was born like this and was used to being watched by others. But since Mint said this, he just said 'hmm'
He answered in a loud voice, holding the mint in his arms and walking forward slowly.
Mint looked around. She knew that the kitchen at home was fully equipped, just oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea, right?
Finding the shelves where the goods were placed, Mint browsed around and looked up to ask Zhan Yifan: "Shall we buy some salt, soy sauce, cooking wine, chicken essence, sugar and chili powder?"
"Well, it's up to you."
Mint sighed: "It was a mistake to take you to the supermarket." Even if he looks good, he still doesn't know anything. He even looks like a novice.
"Yin." Mint squatted down to choose salt and suddenly looked up at Yin, "Have you never been to a supermarket before?" He narrowed his eyes. Only children from rich families have never had this experience.
Yin lowered his head, and for the first time a look of embarrassment flashed across his face: "To be honest...it's true that there is not."
Mint narrowed her eyes and didn't ask Yin any more words, but she was calculating in her mind how accurate her guess was. Either her family was too poor and she grew up in a remote place and had never been to such a large supermarket, or she was with her.
Like Zhan Yifan, my family's conditions don't require me to go to the supermarket.
After choosing the ingredients, Mint took Zhan Yifan and the others to the fresh food area.
"What do you want to eat tonight, Kazuyu?" Mint lowered his head and asked Kazuyu gently.
Kazuyu pointed at the picture of fish on the sign, and Mint touched his head: "Okay, sister will do it for you. However, when you go home and scale the fish, you have to let your brother do the killing." Mint looked at it with a mischievous smile.
Zhan Yifan looked to the side.
Zhan Yifan raised his eyebrows, where has he ever cooked fish?
Yin Que raised his hand: "I can."
"You know how?" Mint was surprised.
Yin nodded honestly but still expressionlessly: "Yes. I have done wilderness survival training. I have captured and roasted them."
Mint is ashamed, does that count as a 'knowledge'? Looking left and right, Mint suddenly realizes that several of them like to keep a straight face, and he is quite good, but Kazuyu is born like this and cannot express emotions, and Yin is the one with deep thoughts.
It has almost no effect, but Zhan Yifan...why is this man who usually smiles so much at himself so behaving like this when he comes out?
Mint picked a lot of dishes and bought some snacks for them to eat. He also bought a dozen chicken wings, which he is good at, and finally bought some cooked food. This trip was quite enjoyable because more and more people were watching them.
, so Mint decided to leave the supermarket early, and the original plan of shopping around slowly and buying some other snacks was also cancelled.
Pushing the cart slowly towards the checkout area, Zhan Yifan stood on his right, holding Mint's waist, and followed a little behind on the right. Kazuyu was still sitting in the car, just away from the checkout area.
As he got closer and closer, a small figure suddenly bumped out of nowhere. Bo Mint didn't pay attention, so the figure almost hit him. Yin, who had always been quick and alert, glanced at it with lightning speed.
With such speed, he jumped up and stood in front of Mint.
Mint was squeezed by Yin and fell into Zhan Yifan's arms. Zhan Yifan grabbed Mint tightly and looked coldly, only to see a little girl falling to the ground because she bumped into Yin.
"Where is that kid?" Zhan Yifan shouted coldly. The little girl trembled all over and looked at Zhan Yifan in horror.
Yin Ye looked at the little girl coldly, his eyes like ice.
People gathered around, Mint stood up straight, pushed Yin away, and looked.
The little girl is very thin, about seven or eight years old, her hair is a little messy, her hands are dirty, her clothes are old, and she looks very embarrassed. But the little girl looks very beautiful, and even if her face is dirty, she still looks good.
It's obvious that she is a little beauty.
At this moment, the little girl's eyes were filled with fear, looking at Mint and the others, they were trembling and speechless.
There were people pointing around, thinking that Mint and the others had bullied the little girl. They glanced away coldly and warned the people around them unkindly, causing those who stretched out their mobile phones to retract their hands.
Mint squatted down and reached out to the little girl: "Come on, get up."
The little girl looked at the hand in front of her. It was so beautiful and white. She swallowed softly. The little girl shivered and shrank back. Still looking at Mint in horror, she finally spoke: "I'm sorry...I
, I didn’t mean it…”
Mint knew that this little girl was afraid of them.
Mint shook his head, still looking at the little girl with a gentle face: "Don't be afraid, we don't blame you."
The little girl nervously stretched out her hand and gently placed it in Mint's palm. Mint pulled her up with a little force, reached out and patted the dust on the little girl's body, and then took out a wet wipe from the bag and gave it to the little girl.
The girl wiped it gently. The little girl was a little flattered and wanted to retract her hand, but Mint held it slightly hard, looked at the little girl and warned: "Don't move."
The little girl kept looking at her mouth. Mint didn't know why she was looking at her mouth, but she still wiped her palms gently. It took three or four wet wipes to wipe the little girl's hands very clean. The little girl
The fear in his eyes gradually dissipated, and even the hidden expression on the side softened. Zhan Yifan even watched the warm scene in front of him tenderly.
Raising his hand, Mint was about to wipe the little girl's face clean when he heard someone's voice: "Xiaoyu! Xiaoyu?"
"Your name is Xiaoyu?" Mint asked softly. The little girl was stunned and shook her head.
"Xiaoyu!" The person came through the crowd and saw Mint holding the little girl. He immediately ran over and pulled the little girl from Mint's hand. When he saw the little girl clearly, he raised his hand and gave the little girl a slap: "
Where have you gone? You're going to die, don't you know I'm looking for you?"
Mint was startled, she had never seen a mother slap her child in such a slap in the face.
"How could you beat a child?" Mint stood up, looked at the woman with stern eyes and asked in a low voice. She was used to being a prosecutor, and when she saw such things, her domineering temperament would always make people unconscious.
trembling.
The woman was shocked when she saw Mint's eyes and expression, but she quickly came back fiercely: "What does it have to do with you? This is my daughter. I can teach her a lesson if I want, and I want you to take care of her!"
Mint lowered his head to look at the little girl named Xiaoyu. The little girl looked at him with a complex expression, as if expecting...as if pleading...as if...asking for help? Before Mint could understand the complexity, the woman lowered her head and didn't know what Xiaoyu was hearing.
While saying something, Xiao Yu quickly lowered her head and stopped looking at Mint.
The woman took Xiaoyu and strode away. The people around her gradually dispersed, all talking about why the woman was so cruel.
Mint felt uncomfortable in her heart. When she saw a little girl being treated like this in front of her, she always thought of herself. Although she rarely got beaten, what was the difference between cold violence and physical violence? Mint thought of the little girl again.
With a look in his eyes, he suddenly felt a little uneasy. He immediately looked at Yin and said, "Yin, follow me and have a look."
Yin nodded and followed the direction in which the woman disappeared with the little girl.
"What's wrong?" Zhan Yifan came up from behind and asked Mint.
Mint turned around and touched Kazuyu's head. Kazuyu seemed to be frightened. When Minmin came over, he nestled into her arms and stopped moving.
Mint looked at Zhan Yifan: "Don't you think it's a little strange? That little girl, I asked her if her name was Xiaoyu, and she shook her head. And that fierce woman, although the clothes she wore were ordinary, they were not old.
, they are all new clothes, and they are all neatly packed. If she is really the little girl’s mother, why is the little girl so dirty and her clothes are old?” It’s not like there are no mothers who spank their children in public, but that little girl
The girl's eyes and the difference between them made Mint realize that things were not simple.
Zhan Yifan nodded: "Indeed."
Yin came back soon. Mint and Zhan Yifan had already paid and were waiting for Yin at the checkout area. Yin came out, panting slightly and looked at Mint and shook his head: "It disappeared, not found."
Mint only sighed: "I hope the little girl won't be abused when she goes home." After all, they are just strangers. Mint also felt that she was overthinking. Maybe her mother was just stricter, or maybe the mother, like her, preferred another child?
"Don't think about it so much." Zhan Yifan knew that Mint prefers children. When he saw the little girl, he probably thought of herself, so he felt pity for her. But there are too many such stories in the world. They have to live their own lives.
After all, you can't get involved in other people's affairs.
"Yeah." Mint regained his mood and quickly put this episode behind him, and the four of them left the supermarket with their purchases.
Back on Hexi Road, Mint opened the door with the key and let Yiyu and Yin go in first, while he and Zhan Yifan slowly entered the house behind.
Hiddenly looking at the living room, different from the classical luxury of the West District Garden, this apartment is very warm and romantic, and the colors are more conspicuous. The combination of Mediterranean style and country style is very distinctive.
Mint pointed to a room on the left inside and said, "Yin, you and Yiyu will sleep there at night."
Yin nodded and took Kazuha to see the room.
Zhan Yifan had already placed a heavy bag of vegetables in the kitchen. Mint followed in and hugged Zhan Yifan from behind while he was taking out the vegetables.
Mint tilted his head and looked at Zhan Yifan's face and suddenly smiled. Zhan Yifan had never seen Mint smile as often as he did today. He put down the food in his hand and turned around to take her into his arms. He lowered his head and couldn't help but kiss her.
Mint pink cheeks, smiling and asking: "Are you so happy today?"
Mint nodded: "Yeah. I feel...so happy."
Zhan Yifan lowered his head and kissed Mint's lips again. Mint was afraid that Yin and Yiyu would come over and see him, so he pushed him away and said with a blush, "The children are here."
"Let them look happy."
Mint couldn't help but laugh out loud: "You, a foreigner, also know how to be happy?"
Zhan Yifan raised his eyebrows: "Am I still a foreigner?"
Mint immediately shook his head when he thought that he was not only a Chinese registered permanent resident but also a Chinese son-in-law: "Not really. It can only be regarded as... a combination of Chinese and Western. Haha."
Mint's mood was really high today, and Zhan Yifan felt happy when he saw it. The two of them stayed in the kitchen for several minutes before Mint went to find an apron to talk about cooking.
