[Comprehensive British and American] Super Mario

Fox Orphanage.

Steven was carrying two big bags in both hands, looked up at the dilapidated plaque hanging on the gate, and said to Bucky: "This orphanage... used to be, if I remember correctly, this building was a church, Don, right?"

"Yes, that's right, the only church in Brooklyn." Bucky also carried two big bags in both hands, and he walked towards the main house inside, "It is said that it was converted into an orphanage after the war to accommodate those lost children of their parents."

Steven didn't speak, but silently lowered his head and followed him into the yard. He noticed that the children who were playing in the yard stopped when they saw them, and looked over curiously.

Bucky strode to the door of the main house, turned around and saw Steven with his head down, couldn't help laughing, and said, "The children here probably haven't seen Captain America without a helmet, So..." He shrugged, showing no worries.

Steven glanced up at Bucky and said, "Really?"

Just as Bucky was about to answer, he heard a happy voice behind him saying, "Oh, boy, you're really here!" He turned around and saw Maria wearing a kitchen smock with Holding a half-peeled apple, he looked at him with a smile. "You told me that day, your name is, Bucky? Right?"

"Yes, that's right. Also, we agreed, didn't we?" Bucky smiled, slightly lifting the two bags in his hand, "This is for Thanksgiving."

Maria smiled and reached out to pat his arm and said, "Oh, thank you! To be honest, when you came that day, I thought you were just talking! I didn't expect you to come today! It's so good !" She looked at Steven behind Bucky, "You brought your friends?"

Bucky smiled and nodded, turned to Steven and said, "Maria, the dean here!" He turned back to Maria and said, "His name is Steven, my best friend."

Maria smiled and stretched out her hand to Steven, "Welcome, dear!"

Steven walked up to Bucky, just about to free up a hand to shake hands with Maria, but he didn't expect that she grabbed his arm and grabbed her arms, and he was forced to bend down to accept her warm embrace.

Maria hugged him, patted his back, and said, "Good boy, thank you for coming to help!" Then, before he recovered, she let him go and said with a smile, "Come on, come with me!" I'm coming in!"

Bucky looked at Steve's dull face, and jokingly said, "When I first came here, I was just like you, but you'll get used to it soon." After finishing speaking, he followed Maria's footsteps Entered the event room where Thanksgiving was being prepared.

As soon as Maria entered the activity room, she put the half-peeled apple in her hand on the table, clapped her hands, and said to the children who were sitting at the table and seriously peeled the apples: "Oh, children, stop what you are doing. Come on, let me introduce you." She reached out and grabbed Bucky's hand, dragging him to the children, "These two are Bucky and Steven who are going to join us today."

The children looked at Steven and Bucky curiously, and clapped their little hands to welcome them.

Maria nodded in satisfaction, turned to Bucky and said, "This is where we prepare for the Thanksgiving event."

Bucky nodded, "We've brought some food, maybe we can prepare it with the kids."

"Oh, of course no problem!" Maria smiled happily, "What did you bring?"

Bucky didn't speak, but put down the two big packages in his hand, and opened the bag to show her, "Some fruits, some sandwiches, and some turkey." He turned to look at Steven, raising his eyebrows.

Steven also put down the bag in his hand, smiled at Maria, and said, "If there is anything we need, we can go buy it again."

Maria shook her head with a smile and said, "Oh, this is already very good. The food you bring can feed more homeless people. It's really good! Thank you both!"

Steven looked at Maria's kind smile, and listened to Bucky discussing with her what they would do after joining, and slowly turned his head to look at the children. They resumed what they were doing Things, he looked carefully, the age of these children reminded him of Bucky and himself, a little boy was peeling an apple while looking at him curiously, Steven smiled at him, that The child also smiled shyly at him, lowered his head to look at the apple in his hand, and never looked back.

Bucky patted him on the shoulder and said, "Let's take the turkey to the kitchen first!"

When Steven heard this, he nodded slightly, and Maria led them to the big kitchen, where something was being boiled, and the air was filled with a strong smell of apples.

Maria turned her head and smiled and said, "We are making applesauce."

Bucky and Steven looked at each other, smiled, and said, "It's pretty good, isn't it?"

Steven nodded, leaned over to him and asked in a low voice, "Thanksgiving event? Is it what I think?"

Bucky hummed and said, "Fox prepares food every Thanksgiving and distributes it to the homeless people in Brooklyn."

"Really?" Steven pondered, and said slowly: "That means it's almost the same as what we used to think, right? So, that's why you chose to come here to help?"

"Oh, you can put things on the table!" said Maria, turning to them, and to the child who was watching the fire before the stove: "Oh, the fire can almost be turned down a little, dear."

The child nodded earnestly and stooped to adjust the stove, while Maria hurried to look at the other stove.

Bucky smiled, glanced at Steven and said, "Yes." He walked to the dining table and put the two packages on the table, then turned his head to signal to Steven.

Steven walked over to put down the things in his hands, took out the things they bought with Bucky, and said, "How did you know that there will be..."

"Have you forgotten what I'm best at?" Bucky took the fat turkey out of the bag and put it on the table. "It's not a difficult task, for me."

Steven laughed, shook his head and said, "Well, I have to admit that you are indeed an expert in gathering intelligence."

After checking all the applesauce that was cooking in the kitchen, Maria turned to the table to look at what Steven and Bucky had bought, and said with surprise: "Oh, my God, you bought so much Things? These turkeys are really fat!" She reached out and patted the turkey, laughing, "I thank you two for those homeless people, you are really kind children!"

Steven smiled and said nothing.

Bucky asked Maria, "So, what can we do now?"

"Oh, let me see." Maria turned her head and looked around the kitchen, and said, "Well, I think the food you brought can be put into boxes first." She bent down from under the dining table A square carton was taken out of the large carton placed, "This is the box we prepared, you can put things in the box first, and then put the turkey in it tomorrow, after all, freshly roasted ones are good Eat, don't you?"

"Okay! No problem!" Bucky nodded and glanced at Steven.

Maria dragged the cardboard box out, "Take the food and boxes and go to that room to pack!" After finishing speaking, she pointed to the activity room she had just taken them to.

Steven took the big cardboard box in her hand, which was neatly filled with square boxes, and he nodded.

Bucky repacked everything except the turkey into the bag and said, "So, here we go!"

Maria nodded with a smile.
