"… In the park, please be mindful of the volume of your voices. It's not that we don't allow you to speak, but what we mean is, please don't make any loud noises or make any sharp noises. Does anyone know why this is? "
At the giant panda breeding base, Yang Yi, along with his three children and a few other families with children, were listening to the base's expert tour guide explain the rules and regulations of the tour in the lounge.
They originally wanted to hire a professional tour guide, but because it was the weekend, there were a lot of tourists who came to see the giant pandas, and the base did not have enough professional tour guides. Seeing this, Yang Yi did not insist on any special treatment. He led the children to be treated like normal tourists and received the services of a 20-person tour guide.
However, this kind of service was not bad. Xi Xi and Lan Xin stood beside the other children and listened to the tour guide attentively. It was just like a normal class. Not only was it lively, but it also gave them a sense of participation!
Tong Tong was originally being carried by his father, but he felt that he was not free enough in his father's arms, so he asked his father to put him down. Then, he squeezed himself between Xi Xi and Lan Xin and let the two sisters hold his hands.
Perhaps it was because of the unfamiliar environment, but Xi Xi and Lan Xin, the two children who were good at talking, turned their heads to look around at the same time when the tour guide asked them questions.
Lan Xin was looking to see who was going to answer, while Xi Xi was eager to try, but she was a little shy and did not dare to raise her hand.
"Because giant pandas need to sleep too!" At this time, a younger boy who looked to be about five years old plucked up his courage and raised his head to speak.
"That's right!" The tour guide smiled and clapped her hands. She looked at him encouragingly and continued, "Because giant pandas like quiet environments and are very sensitive to noise. If we make too much noise, they will hide. That way, we won't be able to see the giant pandas, right?"
Xixi widened her big eyes in surprise and looked at the tour guide very attentively. It seemed that if Yang Yi gave her a pen and paper at this moment, the little girl would have to write down all of this!
…
After listening to the explanation, they got on the long electric sightseeing bus and followed the tour guide to the giant panda's sun delivery room and the giant panda's infant villa.
The "lesson" that the tour guide had given to Xi Xi and the others was very effective. Xi Xi and Lan Xin began to whisper on the sightseeing bus. They didn't even need Yang Yi to promise them a big ice cream.
"Xin Er, I forgot to tell you that when pandas were small, they were very, very small!" Xi Xi held the camera and looked very excited, but she whispered to Lan Xin in a very low voice.
Actually, there was no need to speak so softly.
However, Lan Xin also abided by the rules. She was also very interested in the giant panda. Just like Xi Xi, she listened very carefully. At this time, she seemed to realize that her voice was too loud, so she went directly to Xi Xi's ear and whispered to her, "I know that you have giant panda dolls at home. Some are big, and some are very small. You used to call them Da Xiong."
After being exposed, Xixi felt a little embarrassed and twisted in the seat of the battery-powered scooter. Then, she tried her best to change the topic. "No, it's not like that. PaPa showed me a photo. It's really small! Oh, you'll know when you see it later! "
The two sisters were chatting in full swing in the car. Tong Tong was also a little unwilling to be left out. He stepped on his father's leg shakily and moved his body towards his sister.
"Sister, please play!" Daddy didn't give it to him. Little Minglan was still anxiously squeezing Daddy's arms around him, muttering as he pressed forward.
Yang Yi helplessly picked him up and sat him down. Then, he whispered in his ear, "We don't have many seats. Sit tight, or you'll fall off!"
Fortunately, the electric car was very light, and they soon arrived at the place where the giant panda cubs were bred. Tong Tong also got what he wanted. He could hold his sister's hand and walk with her.
Why didn't he like to walk with his father? It was because it was hot to be hugged by his father, and he was not free. His sister's height was just right for him to hold his little hand, so he felt as safe as his father!
Moreover, Xi Xi treated Tong Tong very well. Lan Xin was a little impatient with holding Tong Tong's hand all the time, but Xi Xi was still very considerate and gently held her brother's little hand in her palm.
Fortunately, because of the tour guide's explanation, the group didn't walk very fast. Although Tong Tong was short and had short legs, his small steps were compact, so he could still keep up with everyone's pace.
After turning a corner, Xi Xi's eyes suddenly lit up. She hurriedly held Lan Xin's hand and didn't dare to say anything. She just pursed her lips and smiled happily, "Look!"
Thus, the two girls moved closer to the glass partition and looked curiously.
When the tour guide in front saw that everyone had walked over, she said, "This is the room for the baby pandas that were born less than a month ago. Of course, they usually have to stay by their mother's side and be taken care of by her …"
The tour guide was still talking when she suddenly felt a tug on her sleeve. She looked down and saw a girl with neat bangs and braids. The tour guide's first impression of her was that she was pretty, especially her big bright eyes. Even though she was looking at her anxiously and frowning slightly, her big bright eyes were still very beautiful.
She didn't have to guess to know that this girl was Xi Xi.
She still lowered her voice and said anxiously, "Sister, you can't talk too loudly!"
When the tour guide heard this, she smiled and said, "It's fine here. Our room has double-layered soundproof glass and there are some soundproofing settings inside, so we won't disturb the baby pandas when we talk here. When I said not to talk too loudly, I meant that when we go outside and see the pandas in the activity area, we'll just have to keep our voices down. Of course, you're also great for thinking of taking care of the baby pandas! "
Xi Xi suddenly understood. She smiled shyly and blushed. She turned her head and ran back to her father's side, continuing to hold Tong Tong's hand.
"But everyone is lucky because last Tuesday, a mother panda called Curly Curly gave birth to two baby pandas. Because …" The tour guide continued and explained why everyone could see the baby pandas in this place.
The children listened attentively. When they heard something interesting, they even gasped in surprise.
Tong Tong was held by his sister's hand. He learned from his sister and looked at the tour guide attentively.
Of course, he didn't understand!
This was because when the tour guide said that if twins were born, the mother panda would choose to take care of the stronger panda cub and abandon the weaker one, regardless of whether it lived or died …
At this time, Tong Tong, who was listening attentively like his sister, didn't reveal the same shocked expression as his sister. He also didn't show the seriousness of a crisis. He still looked around in confusion. The little guy's confused expression seemed to be asking, "Why are you making such a big fuss over nothing?"
