Mo Fei was not a three-year-old child, why would she need to applaud and cheer for her to come out? Yang Yi had his reasons for doing so.
However, Xi Xi clapped her hands happily after hearing her father's call. Tong Tong followed suit and clapped his hands again and again as he giggled with his father and sister.
"Okay, okay, I'll try. I haven't played for a long time. Don't laugh at me if I don't do it well!" Mo Fei grumbled. As she spoke, she got up and sat next to Little Momo, taking the stack of cups that Yang Yi handed over.
Normally, a competition would use up to twelve cups to play 3-6-3 or some other stacking method. However, Murphy was not confident that she could do it. She followed Yang Yi's demonstration and tried it out.
"I think … I'll do it in threes …" Murphy mumbled as she pressed the cup pyramid with her left hand and reached for the topmost three cups with her right hand.
Both Xixi and Little Suan Ni turned around and stared fixedly at him. Little Suan Ni was even entranced. He opened his small mouth slightly, revealing his rosy lips and a few small, white, and clean teeth.
"Just take the remaining two cups with your left hand and put the last cup there as the base. Usually, your right hand will take the cup first. You have to stack them from right to left." Yang Yi looked at Murphy's hesitant expression as she picked up the remaining three cups with her left hand. He reminded her, "Of course, it depends on which hand you use. If you use your left hand, then you have to do it the other way around."
"Yes, from right to left!" Murphy seemed to have found inspiration from Yang Yi's words. She happily chanted in English, "Drop with your right, left, right, left, right! (Put one cup down with your right hand, left hand, right hand …) "
This English passage might have been taught to Mo Fei by her teacher when she was studying. As Mo Fei recited it, she smoothly piled up the pyramid. Although the speed was not fast, it was still smooth and there were no bumps or bumps!
"Wow! Mom is awesome too! "Yang Yi smiled and took the lead in clapping.
Xi Xi was her father's loyal follower. She also clapped. However, the little girl was now interested. She looked at the cup in her mother's hand and moved her little butt restlessly. She also wanted to play.
Tong Tong, on the other hand, was still in a daze. He stared blankly at his mother without blinking.
"Don't be in such a hurry to flatter him! I'll do it again and slowly get the feeling! " Mo Fei said with a grin. She was also having a good time. She took the cup excitedly, folded it again, and did it again.
It had to be said that Murphy had been practicing piano since she was a child, so her long and slender fingers were a benefit. After she folded the cup a few times, her movements became smoother and smoother. Although she was not as fast as Yang Yi, she gradually made Xi Xi and Tong Tong dazzled.
"Mom is really awesome!" Xi Xi whispered as she leaned on her father's arm. Her eyes were filled with envy.
"Hey, play, play, play too!" Tong Tong finally reacted. Since he was sitting and could not reach the cup, he grabbed the edge of the coffee table and stood up. Then, he squinted his eyes and smiled as he reached out to grab the cup in his mother's hand.
"Come, come, play for you! Play like Mom and play well! "Murphy smiled, folded the cup, and pushed it to him.
"Ah? I want to play too! Papa, I want to play too! " Xi Xi looked at Tong Tong with her big eyes full of surprise. She was so sad that she almost burst into tears. The little girl turned her head and her eyes seemed to be misty. She looked at her father pitifully and asked for help.
She was supposed to wait for her mother to play for a while and then take over … How long had she been watching? Even when she was clapping, she was watching intently. How could her brother beat her to it?
Xixi was anxious and aggrieved at the same time. She pouted her little mouth.
"What's the hurry? Aren't there more? " Yang Yi laughed and took out another set of seven-colored plastic cups. He shook them proudly at Xi Xi and said, "Look at how thoughtful Papa is! You and your brother can play at the same time. "
As Yang Yi spoke, he opened the packaging and took out the seven sets of cups. Then, just like before, Yang Yi took out the red cup on the top and handed the remaining six cups to Xi Xi.
"Hey, there's more! Hee hee, Papa is so nice! " Xi Xi's mood turned for the better and she happily took the cups. With her own cup, Xi Xi did not look at her brother's cup.
The little girl pulled out the cups one by one and put them on the table like her father did. However, she looked at the six cups in front of her and then looked at the red cup on the side. The little girl hesitated for a moment and then picked up the blue cup and said to her father, "Papa, I don't want this blue one. It's not pretty. Can I change it to red?"
This was not a problem. After changing, Xi Xi could finally start to play the game of folding cups.
"You start from three, three …" Yang Yi saw that Xi Xi did not know where to start, so he guided her step by step. "Come on, read it to Papa. Right, left, right."
No matter what Xixi did, as long as she was interested in it, she would be very serious. Therefore, in order to learn how to fold cups and be on the same level as her father, she also became serious. Her jubilant expression also disappeared.
"Right, left, right …" The little girl pursed her lips and carefully placed the cups in the order that her father said.
Bumps were inevitable, but Xi Xi's hands were still very flexible. After several failures, she finally got the hang of it. This time, although the speed was not fast, the little girl successfully folded the pyramid and then folded the cups into a string.
"Wow!" The little girl finished folding cups for the first time. She turned her head and looked at her father in surprise.
"Yeah, you did it! You learned it so quickly. You're very good! "Yang Yi smiled and gave her a thumbs up.
Tong Tong heard the noise and could not help but turn his head to look. He was still holding the cup and grinding it on the tea table. Inheriting the excellent genes of his parents, the little guy's fingers were also very slender. However, he was still young and it was not easy for him to hold the cup with one hand. He still stood on the ground and played with the cup with both hands.
Now he turned his head and looked at his sister's performance. He was a little surprised. "Sister is so good!"
"Sister is great!" Murphy also gave Yang Yi a thumbs up and smiled softly.
At this time, Xi Xi was overjoyed by her father and mother's praise. Her beautiful eyes curved into two crescent moons. She raised her head and smiled while saying a little embarrassedly, "Hee hee, I don't know. I can do it all of a sudden!"
"Go on, go on. When you're familiar with it, let's fold the pyramid with six cups! Then you can show it to your mother and brother! "Yang Yi encouraged.
"Okay!" Xi Xi nodded happily.
The little girl's interest was completely aroused. She was not satisfied with the small sense of accomplishment just now. She wanted to get more praise from her father, mother, and brother!
"Mom and PaPa can fold a big pyramid, so can I!" Xi Xi thought in her mind.
Under her father's guidance, she found the feeling just now and continued to fold cups.
