Chapter 5 Xiaoya, daddy will show you a trick
Xu Weiguo paid no attention to Xu Damao who was jumping around in the front yard and yelling curses. He carried the old hen and returned to the door.
Bang bang!
"Du Yue, open the door, I'm back!"
Soon the wooden door creaked open.
When Du Yue saw Xu Weiguo, she also saw the old hen he was holding, and her expression suddenly changed, "You take three yuan and sell this chicken!!"
Du Yue looked at Xu Weiguo's other empty hand and confirmed that there was only one chicken. His already pale face became even paler.
"Weiguo, that's three yuan! It's almost half a month's living expenses for our family, and you're just selling an old hen?"
You must know that in 1965, a pound of millet cost less than 20 cents, three dollars could buy almost 20 pounds of rice, and pork only cost 80 cents a pound. It was undoubtedly a lot to buy a chicken with three dollars.
Not cost-effective.
At this moment, Du Yue felt both happy and sad.
I'm happy that Xu Weiguo didn't spend his money on other things, and it seems that he has indeed gotten better. What's sad is that the other person's IQ doesn't seem to have fully recovered.
I shouldn't have let him go shopping for groceries. He was probably tricked by others, and those people were really tricking even a fool!
Du Yue murmured in her heart, but saw Xu Weiguo holding the old hen in his hand and giggling, and said coquettishly: "You are still laughing! After eating this old hen, let's drink the northwest wind from tomorrow on!"
Seeing Du Yue talking and wiping her tears quietly, Xu Weiguo felt so distressed that he quickly said: "Don't cry! I...I hate seeing women cry the most!"
"You don't really think I only bought one a**?"
"I'm not that stupid!"
Du Yue stopped crying, turned around and asked, "What else did you buy?"
"But I see that there is nothing else on you except the old hen! You must be lying to me!"
"Woo~"
As he said this, tears flowed down again unsatisfactorily!
Sure enough, I still believed that I was wrong. This man was unreliable before he became stupid. Even if he recovered completely, he would not be much better. I always thought that as long as I didn't give up, he would change one day. It seemed that I was wrong.
.
Never trust this man again!
When Xu Weiguo saw this, he knew he had to use his trump card.
"Hold this chicken for me first."
Xu Weiguo handed the old hen to Du Yue, then freed his hands and looked at Xu Xiaoya who was hiding behind Du Yue.
"Dad wants to perform a trick for you and mom. Do you want to see it, little girl?"
Xu Xiaoya's face was nervous, but when she heard about the trick, she immediately became energetic and nodded curiously.
The little girl took the bait!
Xu Weiguo raised the corners of his mouth and spread his hands, "Xiaoya, look at daddy's hands, is there nothing?"
"Xiaoya and mom must not blink next time!"
"Look carefully!"
"Mmmmmmmmm... coax!"
Xu Weiguo quickly clenched his hands and then opened them again.
A magical scene happened.
There was nothing on both hands, but suddenly there was an extra egg in each hand!
Xu Xiaoya was instantly attracted by the scene in front of her, "These are delicious...balls!"
"Eggs!?" Du Yue finally stopped crying, but looked at Xu Weiguo's hands in surprise.
She could see clearly just now that Xu Weiguo had nothing in his hands.
Xu Xiaoya rubbed her little eyes, and she was sure that what she saw in front of her was the eggs she had not eaten for a long time!
Then Xu Weiguo handed the egg in his hand to Du Yue.
"Xiaoya, do you still want to watch your father perform tricks?"
"Yeah!" This time, the nervousness on Xu Xiaoya's face disappeared, revealing a childlike smile, and her eyes were full of curiosity.
"Xiaoya, you can see clearly this time. All the eggs in dad's hand have been given to mom, but now there is nothing left, right?"
Xu Xiaoya nodded.
"Mmmmmmmmm... coax!"
Xu Weiguo clasped his hands again, and two more eggs appeared on his palms!
"Wow...sleight of hand...dad...so awesome!"
Xu Xiaoya's mouth opened wide, and her eyes no longer looked nervous and uneasy, but looked innocent.
Children are so easy to deceive! Haha!
Next, Xu Weiguo followed suit and performed more than a dozen tricks.
The result is that in addition to an old hen, Du Yue also has a basket of eggs!
Looking at the chickens and eggs in her hands, Du Yue felt a little better. Although a chicken and a basket of eggs were not worth three yuan at all, seeing this man interacting with Xiaoya parent-child gave her a glimmer of hope.
"Weiguo, it's cold, don't stand outside, let's go inside!"
Du Yue said softly.
"Wait a minute, I still have some tricks to perform." Xu Weiguo said with a smile.
"What else?" Du Yuereng was stunned for a moment and looked at Xu Weiguo again. How many things was hidden in this man? You can't tell it no matter how you look!
"Xiaoya, daddy doesn't have anything in his hands now?"
Xu Weiguo still stretched out his empty hands and showed them in front of Xu Xiaoya.
This time Xu Xiaoya became more courageous, stretched out her small hand to grab Xu Weiguo's big hand, inspected it carefully, and then nodded, "Well, it's empty, there's nothing!"
Xu Weiguo smiled slightly, put his hands behind his back, and when he took them out again, they each held a carp!
"Wo! This is fish swinging!"
Xu Xiaoya's eyes are wide open and her mouth is long.
Xu Weiguo held the fish and said to Du Yue: "Xiaoya is growing and needs nutrition. You have to go to work and take care of Xiaoya and me, so you need nutrition even more!"
"We'll stew an old hen later and make some fish soup to replenish our health."
Hearing this, Du Yueleng froze on the spot. At this moment, the wall in her heart suddenly collapsed. After so many years of marriage, this was the first time that the man in front of her was so considerate to her.
Hot tears rolled down from Du Yue's eyes again.
This time it was not tears of sadness, but tears of joy.
"You...don't cry! I..."
Xu Weiguo has a big head, this woman is really made of water, why is she crying all the time!
I thought I could make my wife and daughter happy by doing tricks, but now I can’t do it at all.
"Weiguo, I am happy."
Du Yue put the chickens and eggs into the house, then wiped away her tears and pulled Xu Weiguo into the house.
"You take a rest first, I'll go cook." Du Yue said as she prepared to leave.
"Wait a minute, I still have some tricks to finish!" Xu Weiguo said with a smile.
Du Yue turned around and looked at the man in front of her in disbelief, "You haven't changed yet? You...how many things are you hiding in your body? Why can't you see it at all?"
Xu Weiguo smiled slightly and said: "If you can see it, how can it be called magic?"
