Chaoying's small group [Zhongyingmei]

Chapter 142

Tony was taken aback.

He didn't expect Willie to say this, and he pursed his lips for a while, although he still seemed to think it was all nonsense, he didn't say anything, and put away all the weird candies for Daisy.

Willy Wonka introduced so many miraculous effects of candy, which is nothing different to him. Scientists don’t believe it in their hearts and don’t express their views. The chocolate aroma lingers in the senses, a dreamlike weightlessness.

Tony suddenly remembered Maria who read a storybook to himself a long time ago.

It was when he was young, decades later, what it was like to listen to stories and eat candy, has been submerged in the busyness and troubles of the adult world, and he can't recall it vaguely.

Something lightly stepped on the instep.

The old father looked down and saw that he was a small man.

It's too small, even Daisy's height is not as good as Daisy's. She has healthy limbs and the signs of an adult, but she is only about [-] centimeters tall when standing upright. Visually, even the sugar pumpkin in the candy house is smaller than him. higher.

"Oh, you stepped on a guest, Ryan," Willie said softly.

The little man walked away quickly, and only then did Tony see that he was still carrying a toolbox on his shoulders, and he was probably in a hurry to repair the candy production machines in the factory.

"I've never seen such a small person." Tony felt incredible.

"Understandable." Willy looked down at the little baby Daisy below, with an indistinguishable expression, and said, "After all, Lumber Land is very dangerous, and there are beasts hidden in the grass. Few people venture there, so you can see Not to the Oberumbos."

The director of the factory once went to Lumber to explore alone, looking for new candy flavors - he dreamed of being a pirate, but in reality, he did risk his life for candy, which is indeed a bit of a pirate's boldness - but the candy was not found. Then, he accidentally found the Oberlumbo who liked cocoa beans.

Willy used cocoa beans as wages and successfully exchanged a tribe's employees.

If these stories were told, I'm afraid Tony would think it was a fantasy.

Willie opened his mouth to speak, but when he looked up and saw Tony's expression, he suddenly lost interest, and only lowered his head to observe Daisy intently.

He is not an adult who likes children, but he looks like a child himself. Those black eyes are so good-looking that they reveal vivid innocence and agility. It would be against the face of any grown man, but because Willie has It's strange, but it's not surprising to have such a childishness.

If you have to immediately tell a reason why Willy is close to children, it can only be because children like sweets.

Daisy also likes candy.She walked all the way in the chocolate factory and was happy all the way, but she always kept her little hands in her hands and didn't touch the candies and machines in the factory casually. Just wowed softly, still obediently standing next to the old father.

Later, I walked through many factories and took a lot of candies, such as chocolate eggs that hatched birds, raspberry kites, and chewing gum for dinner. big bag.

After walking through the entire chocolate factory, Tuanzi was a little sleepy, curled up in his father's arms and dozed off, and quickly opened his eyes when he saw something he liked.

The night wind at the end of October became colder and colder. Walking out of the factory gate, the head-on wind blew into her neck. The child shivered and buried her head in the crook of Tony's neck. When the old father's warm hands covered her, she Hearing the lively voices outside, he regained his energy, raised his little hand, rubbed his eyes, and turned his head to look outside.

"Your guests haven't come yet," Tony said to Willie.

He was referring to the empty square that was decorated with lights and festoons, no matter how beautifully decorated it was, it was lifeless, and it was especially deserted in the whistling wind.

Willie tapped the wooden cane wrapped in a glass shell in his hand, bent his lips and smiled sincerely, and repeated what he had answered Tony earlier: "Don't worry, the guests have already arrived."

The empty square was another scene in Daisy's eyes.

Willy's guest has been there since the beginning.

Dressed up, singing and dancing, the candy on the candy road was splashed into the sky, and when it fell, there was another deafening cheer.

There are adults, there are children, and it seems very happy.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Stark." Willy wiped his chin with his hand, "Obviously at your age, you have completely lost such precious things. It's like time, gone forever. Deceived, unable to see the truth beneath the surface."

Tony frowned: "I don't understand what you're talking about."

Willie turned to look at the little Daisy baby who was fascinated by the crowd, and answered the irrelevant question: "Many children can see when they are young. Unfortunately, when they grow up, their eyes become worse and worse, and they can only see." It's a boring world. But it's okay."

Tuanzi missed the costume show on Halloween tonight because of her father's work, but unexpectedly made up for it at the chocolate factory.

The scene reflected in her big eyes is extremely wonderful, almost magical. People in black clothes and pumpkin heads take off their heads and throw them at each other. After the heads are taken off, there is nothing on the neck.

That's kind of scary.

Next to it was an old woman who was sitting at the banquet table eating and drinking candy. She inadvertently cast her eyes on the three of Willy and found that Daisy was watching. The candy was stuck in her throat. There is a raised bow on the neck.

She quickly patted her chest, swallowed the candy, grabbed a handful of licorice root and threw it at the pumpkin people, shouting: "Hey! There is a baby!"

The licorice roots grew snow-white cream flowers in the air, and "pop" landed on the empty neck of the pumpkin man, transforming into beautiful faces, but the hair was colorless, and the pupils were colorless.

Daisy clapped her hands happily.

Then she saw a white-haired couple walking into the gate of the factory.

The couple walked through the iron gate without any change on their faces, as if they just encountered a stubborn and icy wind.

The husband is wearing a black and white suit, and the pearl necklace on the wife's neck just matches the white dress. Years have accumulated, elegant and noble.

In Daisy's view, the two old people looked familiar.

She was completely out of sleep now, seeing the old couple walking straight to this side, the distance getting closer, the lady still looked at her with eyes, blinked brightly, and smiled warmly, she couldn't stand it anymore, Push Dad's chest to get to the floor.

Tony doesn't know why.

The adult was completely at a loss, and Willie next to him didn't speak, only Tuanzi was happy all the time, and now he became a little dough that couldn't be hugged. Put down and stand.

The old couple were only a few steps away from Tony.

The old gentleman didn't know why, but his face suddenly showed a bit of discomfort, he paused, and stopped in place.

"Howard?"

The wife looked back at her husband, her eyes met, annoyed and funny: "It's been so many years, what's going on?!"

However, once the man stood up, holding a gun to his head was no good.

After a few words of persuasion to no avail, the lady stepped on high heels and quickly approached Tony, so close that she almost pressed her face against Tony's.

Tony knows nothing.

She carefully looked at Tony from top to bottom, her eyes moved very slowly, as if she was afraid that she might miss a certain detail, she sighed while watching, she was both happy and sad, she raised her hand to cover her mouth, and waited for a while to relax After getting emotional, he said slowly: "There are a lot of gray hairs. My child."

At this moment, her expression is the same as that of many women in the world, with tears in her eyes and love in her heart, she can't say a thousand words, and a single sentence is like a million words.

They have a common name, called mother.

Daisy can't remember things very clearly. She can tell which aunt she played with and which uncle came to her home, but many details in her life are hidden in her little head, and she can't dig them out for a while. .

If she could dig it out, she would know by now that the old couple in front of her had once appeared in her father's photo album.

The trio is pictured with Tony Stark, Howard Stark and Mariah Stark.

It was Tony's parents who came here in the cold wind on Halloween.

"Worrying about so many things, of course you will grow gray hair." Howard Stark was still standing a few steps away, with his hands in his pockets, even though he was old, he still spoke handsomely, looking at Tony from time to time, She curled her lips and said, "I grew gray hair earlier than him, and I have never seen you love me so much."

"Howard!" Maria turned her head and stopped her husband.

When she turned her face back again, she met Tony's movement, which made her retract her hand in shock. After realizing it, she saw the fine lines on the corners of her son's eyes and brows. She couldn't help it anymore, leaned forward, and hugged Tony tightly.

"My child." She raised her hand to stroke Tony's hair, and the air she touched was cold and empty, but it made her extremely warm.

This is a superhero, the Iron Man of Stark Industries, and a genius inventor unique in all of America.

The sum of all the titles can't compare to the weight of a "child" in the mother's mouth.

"Anthony, my child." Maria said softly.

She looked back at Howard, who was still standing at a safe distance, and became his wife again: "Are you sure you want to stand there all night?"

Howard Stark was looking at the short Daisy standing on the ground.

Glanced at Daisy, then quietly glanced at Tony.

Maria asked, but he didn't answer, just stood there, stubborn like the stern and indifferent father who didn't say I love you so easily.

"Howard." Maria said, "You know our time is limited."

Howard was taken aback.

He looked up, looked at his son seriously, wiped his face, and walked over.

Tony still didn't know it when his father's hand was on his shoulder.

He only felt that the wind blowing on his face was very cool, and the aroma of chocolate drilled into his nostrils, because he had no conversation with Willy, and he was distracted thinking about the passenger who died before he had time to save him today.

Then his heart shrank, and overwhelming pain hit him, for no reason, it was so strong that his eyes turned slightly red for a moment.

"Anthony." Howard lowered his head and said softly, "My pride."
