After silently peeling the apples in her hand, Mary glanced at Steven who was putting the last sandwich into the empty cardboard box. She stood up and put the apples into the fruit basket on the children's side As soon as he let it go, he turned his head to look at Steven, hesitated to speak, and finally walked out of the activity room without saying anything.

At the door of the activity room, she saw Bucky walking in from the outside. He looked at her calmly and seemed to be holding something in his hand. It seemed that after he got up suddenly and left just now, he seemed to have gone shopping on the street again. Something, Mary walked up to him and stopped him.

Bucky froze, he looked at Mary who was blocking his way without expression, and said nothing.

Mary hesitated and said, "I'm sorry!"

Bucky looked at her slightly surprised, not understanding why the girl suddenly apologized.

"Perhaps everyone misunderstood you." Mary wanted to smile at him, but at the moment his expression was so cold that she didn't dare to smile, but nodded, turned and walked towards the big kitchen.

Bucky watched Mary finish speaking inexplicably, almost as if fleeing in embarrassment. He turned his eyes and saw Steven looking at him. He walked to the table, put down the bag in his hand, and asked, "After I leave , what did you say to her?"

Steven shrugged and said inexplicably: "Nothing!" In fact, he also heard what Mary said just now, and he had to say that he was also surprised by this. This girl's thinking is a bit incomprehensible. In other words, he and Bucky were a little hard to understand, and before that, her sudden silence also surprised him.

Bucky sat down opposite him, turned to look at the children who were still peeling the remaining apples, and said, "I bought a little something."

Steven reached out and opened the pocket, smiled, and said, "You are much more familiar with Brooklyn now than I am."

Bucky shrugged and said, "No, I just lived a few days longer than you. If you stayed here as long as I did, maybe you would be more familiar with it than me."

Steven smiled and said, "Okay, why don't we live together until I know Brooklyn better than you do?"

Bucky didn't answer, and took out the wrapped candy from the bag.

Steven sighed inwardly, stopped continuing the topic, and asked instead: "Is this for the children?"

Bucky nodded, "Yes."

Steven picked up a bag of colorful candy, smiled, and said, "Are you trying to win over all the kids in Brooklyn? Too bad Halloween is over!"

"Meet the kids here on Halloween, when I had no candy," Bucky said simply.

Steven nodded knowingly, and said, "So, you know about the Thanksgiving activities."

The corner of Bucky's mouth curled slightly, and he said, "Well, that's right!"

"So, give it to them now?" Steven looked at him questioningly, and asked with a smile, "Or..."

"Give it to Maria." Bucky took out the bags of candies he bought and put them on the table, "I don't want them to eat their teeth."

Steven looked at Bucky's serious expression, and he thought of their childhood, when Bucky gave almost all the candies they got on Halloween, and he used toothaches more often to dissuade them. I returned the candy to him, and his smile gradually disappeared...

Bucky raised his eyes, and Steven looked at himself with a thoughtful expression, he understood almost immediately, smiled and said, "Hey, don't you cry, Steven?"

Steven was amused by his words, shook his head and said, "I hope there will be no more children with toothaches."

"Then you may be disappointed. According to my observation just now, there are many children with bad teeth!" Bucky said in a soft voice, "So, it is the best way to give the candy to Maria to distribute to the children. Good way!" After speaking, he turned to look at the children on the other side of the table.

Steven followed his gaze and looked over, and the two fell silent.

big kitchen.

Little Tommy knelt on the dining chair, put his hands on the edge of the table, watched Maria cook applesauce, the sweet smell in the air made his mouth water, he tried hard to control himself, and sniffed the aroma vigorously, as if Already had delicious applesauce.

Seeing Mary walk in, Maria said reproachfully, "Oh dear, you said something to Tommy! I had a hard time explaining it!"

Mary glanced at Maria with a guilty conscience, turned her head and saw Tommy staring at the pot of applesauce, and she said shyly, "I... sorry, Aunt Maria, I didn't expect him to Came to ask you questions."

"Oh, really?" Maria asked intentionally, "So, can you now explain why boys who are unfriendly to girls can't find girlfriends?"

Uh...Mary smiled at her with a look of 'self-inflicted crime', and said, "Didn't you already explain it to him?"

"Hey, I'm talking about you, dear Mary!" Maria said deliberately with her hips on her hips, making an angry look.

Mary glanced at Tommy and said, "Well... I..." She lowered her head and said, "Well, it's kind of hard to explain."

Of course Maria knew that she couldn't explain it, so she said angrily and amusedly, "That boy, Steven, isn't friendly to you?"

"No!" Mary shook her head immediately, "No, he's fine!"

"Really? Then why did you say that to them?" Maria continued to ask.

"That's because of a little misunderstanding." Mary prevaricated.

"Oh, seriously, boy, I think I know why you're still alone!" Maria sighed and shook her head.

Tommy turned his head to look at Mary. It turned out that the little guy's attention was not completely captured by the applesauce. He raised his head, repeated what Maria said solemnly, and said, "Oh, I think I know why you are still here now , alone!"

Mary gave him a "fierce" look, and said gruffly, "Hey! Brat, you are very rude! Aunt Maria will punish you to stand outside all day!"

Tommy wasn't afraid of her words at all. On the contrary, he pulled the corners of his mouth with two index fingers, made a face at Mary, and said, "Aunt Maria won't punish us to stand outside! Hehe snort!"

Mary looked at the little guy speechlessly, then turned to look at Maria, and said, "You won't be punished for standing now?"

Maria laughed and said, "Oh, of course not. Speaking of which, you and Julie are the only two naughty ghosts who have been punished in the Fox compound!"

"Wow!" Tommy made an admiration similar to ridicule after Maria finished speaking, and scraped his cheeks a few times with his hand, and said to Mary with a smile, "Naughty ghost!"

Faced with this little guy's ridicule naked, naked, naked, Mary really wanted to hide her face, which was a bit too embarrassing.

There was a knock on the kitchen door.

Steven and Bucky were outside the door, looking at Tommy who was laughing at Mary, and looking at Maria who was smiling at Mary and Tommy, Bucky said, "Did we come at a bad time?"

"Oh no, no!" Maria smiled and walked towards them.

Bucky handed the shopping bag in his hand to Maria and said, "This one is for the kids."

Maria took the bag and said in amazement, "Oh, when did you two prepare this? Thank you so much!"

Bucky smiled and said, "It's nothing!"

Maria stretched out her arms gratefully, hugged Bucky, looked at Steven again, and said, "May God bless you, you are the cutest lads I've ever seen."

Mary stood there looking at them, looking at the bag Maria was holding, what did the two of them buy for the children?Seems like something to eat?

Tommy jumped off the dining chair and ran towards Steven and Bucky. He shouted happily at Bucky, "You know what? Why can't guys who are unfriendly to girls find girlfriends?"

The smile on Bucky's face froze.

Then, Tommy grabbed Steven's hand again showing off, and said happily: "I got it! Captain! I got it!"

Damn!The brat!When Mary heard this, she immediately put her hands on her forehead, thinking, this is really self-inflicted!

Steven smiled and looked down at Tommy, then looked at Mary who was standing there and wanted to find a place to hide, and said, "Really? That's great!"
