91. The world of magic
I don't have to go to work on weekends, and I'm hesitant to visit the hospital. Zhou Yu is not here, in fact, I don't really want to go, and I won't get a good face if I go, especially without Zhou Yu speaking for me, it is difficult for me to participate in the Zhou family.
It was almost noon when I decided to go to the hospital.
In any case, this is the etiquette I should do, and I can't control whether it is pleasing or not.
I went to the boutique supermarket to pick up some fresh fruits, and when I carried them to the hospital, I remembered that I didn't know which ward I was in. I sent a message to ask Zhou Yu, but he didn't know what he was busy with and didn't reply, so he had to go to the inpatient building to inquire.
It was a single room, and I peeked in through the closed doors and windows, and found that Little Walnut was sleeping alone in the bed, but there was no one else in sight. I was surprised, how could I leave the child here alone, and no one would take care of it on the side?
I pushed the door in, and when I walked inside, I found Han Jingxue dozing off against the head of the bed, which happened to be the blind spot of the perspective by the door. As soon as I carefully put down the fruit, I heard movement behind me and found that it was actually a little walnut who woke up.
Little Walnut was looking at me with dark eyes, and when I turned around, I saw him holding up his finger to his mouth, signaling me to whisper, and then pointed to Han Jingxue beside him, meaning that his mother was sleeping, don't disturb her.
I pursed the corners of my mouth and smiled, picked up the apple on the ground and asked him in a dumb voice if he wanted to eat it, and he shook his head with a look of disgust.
There was a separate bathroom in the room, so I went to wash the apples, then took out the multi-tool in my bag, folded out the fruit knife and began to peel the apples. I didn't mean to show off, I just wanted to make the child happy, the fruit knife spun like a cloud in my palm, and I couldn't blink my little walnut eyes. By the time the apple peel landed on the bedside table, it was not only unbroken, but also coiled into a flower.
He began to peel the apples into small pieces, took one of them, and handed it to the little walnut. He didn't answer, just looked at the knife in my hand curiously, and I didn't force it, I put the apple on the plate next to it and deliberately turned the tool, and when I stopped, the knife turned into a key, and I didn't leave a trace of the knife.
Actually, this is a small prop, I used to research and make it myself, and I always carry it with me in case of emergency.
And with a pair of hands that have practiced magic, the dexterity of the fingers has always been maintained, and such a small thing as peeling an apple cannot be considered a technique.
I thought about the little walnut's surprised look and pulled two coins out of my pocket. Put the coins in each hand, let the little walnut guess which hand I have the coin, he points to the left hand, I spread out the left hand is empty, the two coins are in my right palm; If he pointed to his right hand, the coins went to his left hand, and then with a flip of his palm, the two coins disappeared, and finally two coins were taken out from under the pillow of the little walnut.
This coin magic trick is simple and classic, and it's also interactive with kids. After the performance, Little Walnut was so excited that she snatched the coin in my hand and looked at it carefully, it was two ordinary coins.
I leaned into his ear and whispered, "Auntie has magic, whoever owns these two coins will also have magic, shall I give it to you?" The little walnut nodded like garlic, and hid the coin under the pillow very preciously, and felt uneasy, turned the coin out, held it between his fingers, and stuffed it in the quilt.
"When you're well, will my aunt perform magic tricks for you?"
"Okay."
"Then you have to get better quickly, and eat more apples, apples can make us magic."
This time the little walnut nodded, and offered to get the apple on the plate, and I forked it with a toothpick for him to eat.
As soon as she raised her eyes, she bumped into Han Jingxue's clear gaze, she kept leaning against the head of the bed and did not move, but she had woken up and looked at us at some point. After their eyes met, she sat up straight, and the little walnut turned her head to look, and immediately shouted in surprise: "Mom, come and guess which hand I have a coin in my hand." He clenched his hands into fists and stretched out the quilt and held it high, looking eager to try.
Han Jingxue also cooperated with him, guessed one of the hands, the little walnut was empty when it was spread out, it was of course the other hand, but the palm of the hand was still empty. I saw a flash of surprise in Han Jingxue's eyes, and the little walnut proudly took out two coins from the quilt, and I couldn't help but purse my lips and smile.
This kid is smart, and although the technique is wrong, he has learned not to let the audience guess.
Magic is a profound art, and at the same time, it is necessary to innovate and not lose the foundation of the old profession, and then these basic things are not only skillful, but also to make people have accidents every time.
"Little walnuts don't like apples."
Han Jingxue suddenly interrupted my contemplation, I was stunned for a moment, then embarrassed, and explained: "I'm sorry, I don't know. But seeing Han Jingxue shook her head, a gentle smile overflowed at the corner of her mouth: "I mean this kid is very difficult, all kinds of ways to coax him in the past have not succeeded, and he has eaten obediently by himself like today." ”
I was a little uncertain about Han Jingxue's attitude, so I had to smile and not express my opinion.
There was silence for a moment, and it was the little walnut that broke the deadlock: "Mom, I'm still hungry and want to eat." ”
Han Jingxue immediately got up when she heard this, "Don't worry, mom will buy it for you." ”
My heart moved, and I opened my mouth to stop her: "I'll buy it, sister-in-law, you are here with the little walnut." ”
"It's fine."
When I went out, I went to the nurse's desk to ask what I could eat during the recovery period from acute appendicitis, and I went downstairs only after getting an exact answer. There are many restaurants near the hospital, but I went to the third one and asked the chef to make a bowl of porridge for me.
This porridge is exquisite, with five grains in it, boiled until it is thin, and chopped green vegetables are added.
But when I returned upstairs with the porridge, I saw that Zhou Nian and Zhou Liang were already in the ward, and Han Jingxue was feeding the little walnuts to eat. It was Zhou Liang who saw me with sharp eyes and asked with a smile: "Yo, is this here to deliver food or what?" ”
When everyone heard the sound, their eyes slipped from my face to my hands, and it was Han Jingxue who broke the silence: "I'm sorry, Xiaoru, Ah Nian brought black chicken porridge back from outside, and the little walnut was hungry and panicked, so he gave it to him first." ”
I smiled, "It's fine. ”
Needless to say, the embarrassment was resolved, but what was resolved was the little walnut: "Auntie, what did you buy to eat?" ”
I brought the porridge over, but as soon as I lifted the lid, I heard Zhou Liang comment dissatisfiedly: "Green vegetable porridge? There is no nutrition at all, and the little walnuts never eat greens. ”
Sure enough, when I saw Little Walnut, my little face collapsed when I heard that it was green vegetable porridge, but I still asked me: "Auntie, can you add any skill points to eat this green vegetable porridge?" ”
I couldn't help laughing, this kid was still thinking about what I said before that eating apples can be magical, and after thinking for a while, I said: "This green vegetable porridge is not simple, it is chopped with the most tender part of the green vegetables, and then added energy elements." If you eat it......"
"What happens if you eat it?" Little Walnut couldn't wait to ask.
I raised my eyebrows, didn't pay attention to the eyes around me, and only smiled and said to the child: "Of course, if you eat it, you will have infinite energy, not only will your illness get better quickly, but also ......."
"Will there still be magic?" Before I finished speaking, I was snatched white by the little walnut, and his eyes lit up, "Auntie, I want to be as magical as you." Do you have any other magic shows for me? ”
Curiosity is always a child's nature. He wasn't going to settle for just two coins of magic, he wanted something new, just like I did when I watched my father perform his first magic trick.
I laughed: "When you get well, my aunt will give you a show." ”
Little Walnut offered to drink the vegetable porridge I bought, and ate it with relish.
The nurse happened to come to the ward round, and after seeing the food on the table, she proposed to let the child eat vegetables as much as possible, not greasy food, so as not to be unbearable for the stomach. Then he specifically asked me, are the green cabbage leaves used for young leaves? The reason is that when I went to ask for the recipe before, it was this nurse who pointed it out, and she took care of me that if the green vegetable leaves are old, the fiber is too high, the meat should be cooked as much as possible, and the porridge can be added to the grains, so that the nutrition of the porridge is more sufficient.
After the nurse left, I didn't want the embarrassment to continue, so I offered to leave.
But I didn't expect Zhou Niansui to walk out of the ward, and I was stunned in the face of him. The three of them, Zhou Yu needless to say, even if the two of them have a quarrel, I can grind with him; Although Zhou Liang has a perverse personality, as long as he smooths his temper, he is actually fine; Only Zhou Nian, a man who is more than ten years older than me, makes me feel bottomless.
Mo walked to the elevator and heard Zhou Nian finally speak: "Jia Ru, have you thought about it?" ”
My heart sank, and I asked, "What to consider?" ”
"What are you going to do with the third child and me going to the United States yesterday?" Zhou Nian didn't give me the slightest chance to escape from sloppiness, and I originally wanted to discuss this matter with Zhou Yu, but I didn't find a chance last night.
I have a quality as a lawyer, and since the opponent is playing chess and crossing the river to the door, I have to raise my head to face the battle.
took a deep breath, turned around to look at Zhou Nian's gaze, and responded softly: "Big brother, I didn't think about this matter. ”
He looked at me calmly and asked, "You mean you plan to be separated from the third child for the time being?" ”
I shook my head, "I didn't think about what I said, first, I was worried about the hospital here last night, and I didn't have the heart to think about anything else; The second is that Zhou Gongjin has to make his own decision about whether he will go to the United States, and when he makes up his mind, he will naturally come to talk to me. ”
Zhou Nian: "I remember saying that the opinions of the third child can be ignored. I've let him go long enough over the years, the family is all in the United States, he stays in City A alone, and he will be thirty years old during the Chinese New Year, it's time to collect his heart and do something serious. ”
Zhou Nian's words made me feel unhappy, knowing that it was taboo to be angry at this time, but Zhou Yu still couldn't help it: "Big brother, you also said that Zhou Gongjin is almost over thirty years old, why should his opinion be ignored?" It was up to him to decide whether or not to stay. And he is now the director of the police station, and he goes out early and returns late every day to do a job that a public official should do, why is it not the right thing to come out of your mouth? ”
Zhou Nian's eyebrows did not move, and he looked at me with clear eyes, unable to distinguish between joy and anger.
