Chapter 29 Drowning
Dinner, after all, was made after a busy time, and that night, I served Jasmine a large bowl of rice, and I knew that she had not eaten at all. Even if you eat some duck gizzard in the afternoon, that amount can only satisfy your cravings, but it is impossible to fill your stomach.
That night, I sandwiched a lot of vegetables for Jasmine, and Jasmine ate them all cleanly, and in the end there was not even a grain of rice left at the bottom of the bowl.
Sure enough, Jasmine was crazy with hunger.
In the end, I had to give Jasmine another bowl of rice, and Jasmine hesitated, didn't say a word, and finished the meal. After eating two bowls of rice, Jasmine finally had her fill and hiccuped.
After that, Jasmine started to take care of the dishes and chopsticks after I and Xueqi finished eating, but this time, Xueqi did not give the dishes and chopsticks to Jasmine, but ran to the kitchen to wash them herself. Even Jasmine couldn't convince her.
In the end, Jasmine just took mine and her own dishes and chopsticks to wash.
After washing the dishes, it's the golden hour of the evening. If it were in normal times, I would watch TV with Xueqi for a while, but today there was a Jasmine, and it was different, that is, the number of people watching TV became three.
Xue Qi usually likes to watch some brainless serials at home, she is almost past the age of watching cartoons, she used to like to watch TV series such as "Sheep and Big Big Wolf", but in the past two years, she has generally watched some serials, such as TV series adapted by Jin Yong, or magic films like "The Legend of Sword and Fairy".
After dinner, Xueqi and I watched TV, but Jasmine stood to the side, looking at the TV, her eyes unblinking.
"What's wrong?"
"This TV, it's huge. Jasmine turned to me.
Obviously, Jasmine was attracted by my TV, my Skyworth TV is 65 inches, the size is about the same as the curtain of a slide, it can be regarded as a home theater, of course, Jasmine's family does not have such a TV, so looking at the TV screen, Jasmine was dumbfounded.
"yes, it doesn't feel like it's the same when you watch TV. Let's sit down and watch it together, there are a lot of screens, and there are cartoons. I asked with a glance at Jasmine, who was standing on the side.
"I don't watch cartoons. Jasmine still stood still, looked at me, frowned, and said.
"Don't watch cartoons, so what do you like to watch?" I thought for a moment and asked Jasmine.
Jasmine shook her head and said, "I don't watch much TV." You give me your clothes. I went to do the laundry. ”
"Laundry?" I looked at Jasmine, it seemed that she really thought of herself as a little nanny, "You just finished washing the dishes and chopsticks, what kind of clothes to wash, watch TV for a while." I beckoned to Jasmine, pulled her over, sat her on the couch, and sat with Xueqi.
Xue Qi looked at this "sister" who was three years younger than herself sitting next to her with a little blankness, and Jasmine was also a little stiff and sat with Xue Qi.
Speaking of which, Xue Qi is indeed a little taller than Jasmine, Jasmine is only about 11 years old, and her height is about 1.5 meters, while Xue Qi is already 1.57 meters, in comparison, Xue Qi is a little taller than Jasmine.
Xue Qi and Jasmine sat together, and the two little Loli looked at each other secretly, neither of them spoke, obviously because they were not familiar with each other's relationship.
Seeing Xue Qi and Jasmine not say a word, I felt a little embarrassed, and a stiff atmosphere permeated the hall.
Damn, it's not okay to go on like this, I have to find a way to get them along well......
My brain was racing, thinking of a way to make the two little girls Jasmine and Xueqi able to communicate, but before I could think of it, Xueqi was the first to break the ice-like atmosphere.
"Hmm...... Why don't we play the console?"
Xue Qi was silent for a while, and then suddenly proposed.
Jasmine probably didn't know much about game consoles, and was just frowning at Xueqi's suggestion, looking dazed, but Xueqi stood up from the sofa, "Wait a minute, I'll go get the controller!"
Xue Qi is actually quite good at dealing with children of about the same age, she took one look at me, and then ran to the box next to the TV and found the Nintendo II home game console.
"Papa, pick it up for me!" Xue Qi shook the game console at me, winking at me.
"Okay, I'll come, I'll come. "Playing games? It's a great way to get more communicative. I stepped forward to take Xueqi's remote control, plugged in the cable to the TV, and connected the game console. And Xueqi took the game's remote control to Jasmine.
"Jasmine, let's play a game together!" Xue Qihan smiled and handed the remote control of the game to Jasmine. Because II is a game that can be played by two players, Xueqi handed one remote control to Jasmine, and kept the other one herself.
"What game?" Jasmine didn't seem to have touched a game console before, so when Xue Qi handed her the remote control of the game console, she just took it stupidly and looked at it in her hand, but she was at a loss.
"Game consoles. Let's have fun. It's fun. There are tennis, Super Mario, and racing ...... "Xue Qi seems to be much easier to get close to Jasmine than me, probably because of the same age, plus Xue Qi looks more friendly, after Xue Qi gave the remote control to Jasmine, Jasmine didn't need to rush to throw it away, just quietly listened to Xue Qi's introduction, of course, the blank color on her little face has not diminished at all.
Jasmine doesn't seem to understand any of the games Xue Qi is talking about, and every time Xue Qi excitedly says a game name, Jasmine will frown.
It's no wonder, after all, Jasmine was born in such a family, and it's normal that she hasn't been exposed to this kind of thing.
In the end, Jasmine still bit her head, not understanding the games Xue Qi said, and Xue Qi also realized that it would be a waste of saliva for her to talk about it, and finally she sat down next to Jasmine and said, "It's okay, just play and see if you know!"
Then, Xueqi started the game with the remote control.
Xueqi and Jasmine's words and deeds were clearly seen by me sitting next to me, and Jasmine also looked at me.
"It's okay, you can play with her. I said to Jasmine, and laughed.
Jasmine frowned, still seemingly hesitant, but when the TV screen showed a colorful picture and stirred music, Jasmine was quickly intrigued.
After all, no matter how mature the mouth is, deep down, Jasmine is still a child, with the playfulness and curiosity that a child should have, after coming to my house, Jasmine has resisted not showing curiosity, my furniture, decoration for her are something she has never seen, since coming to my house, Jasmine's eyes have been constantly lingering on the furniture, but in order to prevent me from gossiping, she has always pretended to be very calm, and this calmness was finally broken after Xueqi proposed to play the game console together.
Especially when Xue Qi said that this game was a 3D game and she had to wear 3D glasses, Jasmine was completely dumbfounded.
Xue Qi chose a game of tennis and urged Jasmine to play together, Jasmine still couldn't let go of her hand at first, and looked at Xue Qi hesitantly, but under Xue Qi's urging and patient explanation, Jasmine gradually understood the operation, and also looked at the TV screen and started playing.
And this play, Jasmine is completely addicted.
At first, Jasmine was still a little stiff and hesitant because she was relatively unfamiliar with Xueqi and had never played a game console, but after Xueqi operated it a few times, she completely let go.
In the TV, Xueqi's character is playing ball, and her hands and feet are very flexible, after all, Xueqi and I have played this game many times, while Jasmine's character is stunned, and her movements are very stiff, and she will only occasionally take a few steps and move her hands. But under Xue Qi's shouts such as "come on", "Fight", "The ball is coming", Jasmine finally slowly entered the state, and operated the characters in the game to fight against Xue Qi.
Moreover, Jasmine seems to like this kind of game very much, and perhaps it is rare for her to have such a happy game with her peers like this.
As soon as Xue Qi and Jasmine played the game, they never stopped, and I, the person who sat next to me, couldn't sit still in the end, and finally I couldn't help but get up, sat down next to Jasmine, and occasionally pointed her a few times, encouraging her as a veteran.
Jasmine was a little reluctant to me at first, but after I taught me a few times, she gradually began to trust me, and she followed my methods and slowly got started.
Jasmine and Xueqi have played dozens of games of tennis, because of the relationship between the unskilled operation of the game, Jasmine is naturally not Xueqi's opponent, but, Jasmine's temperament is quite unadmitted, after losing many times, the operation is also proficient, and gradually can be equal to Xueqi. I believe that in time, it can even surpass Xueqi, a "game idiot". Xue Qi is really not a girl who is very good at playing games, and when she plays games with me, she basically loses everything, so she usually only plays some non-competitive games such as dress-up and treasure hunting.
The tennis game was played for almost an hour, because the ii game console is a competition game machine, so it is easy for the players themselves to stand up and dance with the game characters because they are too excited, so at the end of the day, Xue Qi and Jasmine basically never sat down, and the two of them frantically pressed the button of the remote control, and the small mouth made an irrepressible laugh of "haha" or "ah!" and other regretful cries,
Of course, such a sports game is physically demanding, so after playing for an hour, I proposed Xueqi to change the game, and this time, Xueqi played a game of haunted house adventure. Usually Xueqi is very timid and doesn't dare to play this kind of game at all, so I am the only one who has cleared the level, and she has never played it at all, but today because of Jasmine's presence and my proposal, Xueqi is also brave enough to play the game of haunted house adventure.
Because Jasmine and Xueqi both wore 3D glasses, when the door of the haunted house in the game suddenly opened and a female ghost floated out, Jasmine and Xueqi screamed in fright at the same time, Jasmine was so frightened that she grabbed Xueqi's thigh directly, nervously tilted her head sideways, closed her eyes, and didn't dare to look at it again. Xue Qi was also so frightened that she closed her eyes and didn't dare to move.
And I took the opportunity to get close to Jasmine and Xueqi, and suddenly screamed "wow" in front of them, and the two chicks were so frightened that they screamed "wow" in unison!
"Hahahaha......" Seeing Jasmine and Xueqi being scared by me at the same time, I couldn't help but laugh proudly, and a strong sense of pride arose.
Hehe, after all, I still have a childlike wandering heart in my heart.
Although, I'm over 30 years old. But when you play with children, the inner sense of fun starts beating again.
"You're sick, papa!"
Frightened by me, Xueqi was the first to open her eyes, pouted, and reached out to hit me, and Jasmine also glared at me fiercely and scolded me for being an "idiot".
Beaten by Xueqi, I hurriedly made a painful expression and said: "I beg for mercy, I beg for mercy......" Xueqi just stopped, and then I glanced at Jasmine intentionally or unintentionally, but found that she couldn't help but laugh, but when she noticed my gaze, she quickly returned to normal.
After the haunted house adventure game, Xueqi and Jasmine played a lot of games, such as racing, dancing and shooting games, Jasmine can be described as an eye-opener, in the end, she seems to have completely opened her heart to Xueqi, and Xueqi is completely harmonious, during that period of time, the happy color on Jasmine's face has hardly disappeared.
Xueqi and Jasmine played very late, and they were still in high spirits until almost 11 o'clock, and seeing Xueqi and Jasmine having so much fun, I didn't want to disturb them, but I turned around and went to the refrigerator to get some frozen cantaloupe, and then took a few quick-frozen chicken wings to fry them, and after I was done, I took them to the hall together and gave Jasmine and Xueqi as snacks to eat.
Jasmine had never seen such a delicate dim sum, and she was dumbfounded when she saw cantaloupe and fried chicken wings, but I urged her to eat it together, saying that it was okay, happy.
At that time, Jasmine did not refuse me, and after a little hesitation, she reached out and took a small piece of cantaloupe stuck in a toothpick and ate it.
"Doesn't it taste sweet?" I asked Jasmine.
"Hmm!" Jasmine nodded at me and blinked, her eyes missing a hint of unapproachability to me.
I, Xueqi, and Jasmine were eating snacks and playing games at the same time, and I rarely participated in them, mainly Xueqi and Jasmine played, I just played the role of an instructor, only providing the introduction of the game and the explanation of the gameplay.
Games, slapsticks, snacks...... These words, which may have never entered Jasmine's heart, are like warm sunshine, slowly melting the ice in Jasmine's heart.
From the resentment, rejection, and distance at the beginning, to the slow harmony and cooperation, in just one night, the distance between me, Xueqi and Jasmine has become a lot closer.
This might be a great place to start.
