What were they talking about? Actually, Yang Yi didn't even need to try his best to eavesdrop. He could tell from Lan Xin's anxious look that she was looking for Xi Xi for help! After all, Xi Xi was an "expert" when it came to storytelling! It was as if Lan Xin was also an "expert" when it came to talking about what was delicious!
After a while, the two girls looked radiant. After Xi Xi finished her story, she turned around and ran upstairs. Lan Xin looked at the stairwell for a while, as if she was waiting for Xi Xi to come down.
Tong Tong didn't have that much patience. He looked at her in confusion for a while and thought that his sister had run out to play. He couldn't sit still on the stool and wanted to stand up. Murphy pulled him back, but he still cried out unwillingly.
"Don't worry. Sister will be back soon. We still want to listen to Sister Xin Er's story!" Murphy had no choice but to take the little boy back into her arms.
"Okay, okay! Let's not wait for Xi Xi. I want to tell the story first! " After a while, Lan Xin seemed to have seen something. She shouted and ran back to the middle of the side hall, looking as if she wanted to speak freely.
Murphy was a little surprised. She asked, "Why aren't you waiting for Xi Xi? Let Xi Xi watch you tell the story too! "
Lan Xin wanted to say something but hesitated. She stammered, "Oh, no, we can't wait for Xi Xi. We want to tell the story first."
Yang Yi raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Lan Xin with amusement. When Lan Xin ran back, Yang Yi clearly heard Xi Xi's footsteps coming down the stairs. Although Xi Xi deliberately slowed down her footsteps, the footsteps were relatively light. But who was Yang Yi? How could these footsteps be hidden from him?
"Alright, Xin Er, tell us your story. We're all ready to listen to it. I believe that Xi Xi can also listen to your story!" Yang Yi decided to help these two mysterious girls. However, his last sentence was meaningful.
Lan Xin didn't get the hint, but Murphy had a sudden realization and was trying hard not to laugh.
"Alright then, I'm going to tell you a story!" Lan Xin nodded happily and said generously, "There's a farmer uncle who grows a lot of watermelons!"
For some reason, Yang Yi heard Xi Xi pacing back and forth anxiously in the stairwell.
Regardless of Xi Xi, Lan Xin was telling a story. Her storytelling style was relatively concise. There were no superfluous words, but her hands were gesturing.
It was as if the little girl was also in the story. She gesticulated the round shape of the watermelon with her hands and feet.
If it were Xi Xi, Xi Xi would probably use a lot of adjectives or details to describe it. However, Lan Xin was very straightforward and directly gesticulated.
However, the effect was very good. Little Suan Tuan was very focused and did not struggle in his mother's arms. He was fully focused on Sister Lan Xin.
Lan Xin seemed to have forgotten the words at the end. She was a little embarrassed and secretly glanced back at the TV screen. Then, she quickly turned back, as if she was worried that Mr. Yang would deduct points if he saw it.
"But the watermelon was eaten by a thief. The farmer uncle cried!" Lan Xin said, "Then the farmer uncle wanted to catch the thief. The thief is here!"
Her story was really very simple … Lan Xin was yelling and pointing while winking at Xixi, who was in the stairwell, hinting for her to hurry up and come out.
Yang Yi seemed to understand something. He looked expectantly. Sure enough, a little girl wearing panda pajamas and a hoodie with two round and black little ears jumped out of the stairwell.
Seeing this, Yang Yi knew that his guess was right. Xi Xi really went upstairs to get panda pajamas. When they were at the panda base, Xi Xi and Lan Xin liked all kinds of panda souvenirs. In addition to the dolls, they also bought panda pajamas!
However …
It was a hot day now, so she couldn't wear these woolen pajamas. Yang Yi had already washed them for Xixi and put them back into her wardrobe, but he didn't expect that the little girl would still find them.
Of course, the panda pajamas still had some effect. Mo Fei was dazed for a moment, and then covered her mouth and laughed. Little Momo, on the other hand, widened his big eyes and waved his little arms as if he couldn't recognize his sister. After a while, he took his mother's hand and muttered, "Sister! Meow meow! "
It wasn't just the people who reacted. The three fat British shorthairs who had been wagging their tails in boredom on the cat tree saw Xi Xi, the panda, jump out. They were also elves and raised their heads on the cat tree.
However, after looking for a while, they felt bored and went back to squinting their eyes. It wasn't clear whether they were sleeping or secretly observing.
Steamed Bun wagged his tail and ran over, circling around twice.
"So it was the panda who ate the watermelon!" Lan Xin said angrily, pointing at Xi Xi with her hands on her hips.
Xixi, who was cooped up in her flannel pajamas, couldn't help but lift her hat at this moment. Her little face was drenched in sweat, and it was indeed very hot. However, this wasn't what Xixi was anxious about. She took off her hat and pouted just to say the words that she had been holding back in the stairwell.
"No, Xin Er, you haven't said anything yet! You have to turn on the light first to see that I'm a panda! "Xi Xi said.
"Oh, oh! Yes, you have to turn on the light first! "Lan Xin suddenly realized and quickly made a gesture to turn on the light.
"There's more!" Xi Xi said anxiously, "You have to say from the beginning, a long, long time ago."
It turned out that the little girl had been moving in the stairwell just now because of this. However, after saying it, Xi Xi felt much better. After all, she had to tell a story from a long, long time ago!
Yang Yi looked at Xi Xi and didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He couldn't help but whisper, "Xi Xi, don't interrupt Xin Er. It's impolite. You have to let her finish the story first."
Being polite was one thing. In fact, Yang Yi felt a little sorry for his daughter. She had to finish the story quickly and let Xi Xi take off her thick pajamas. Seeing her sweaty forehead, Yang Yi couldn't sit still.
Then, Lan Xin continued to tell the story. Of course, she didn't create many lines herself. She basically read the dialogue in the story. However, Lan Xin's performance and Xi Xi's cooperation made the story lively and interesting.
Especially the scene where Xi Xi begged for mercy pitifully.
The little girl bowed down and wriggled her little butt in the panda pajamas as she begged, "… You can punish me in any way you want. You can twist my ears, slap my hands, or kick my butt!"
Seeing this scene, Murphy and Yang Yi both laughed. Tong Tong seemed to keep up with her mother's rhythm and was beaming with joy.
Finally, they finished the story. Yang Yi felt sorry for Xi Xi and asked her to take off her pajamas.
In this weather, the air conditioner was on. Xi Xi was sweating profusely from the heat. She took off her pajamas, which were directly put on, and shouted, "Xin Er, hurry up. You haven't finished yet! You have to finish the story. Otherwise, my PaPa won't give you good grades! "
"But, but what's the conclusion?" Lan Xin anxiously asked Xi Xi for help. She really couldn't make up anything to say.
Yang Yi smiled. He had already prepared a speech. He said, "Xin Er, what do you think this story mainly explains?"
Lan Xin blinked and said, "The panda damaged the farmer's watermelon."
"Is this the right thing to do? You just said that the panda was the thief who stole the farmer's watermelon! "Yang Yi laughed.
"Of course it's wrong! How could it steal the farmer's watermelon? "Lan Xin said indignantly," The farmer's watermelon was also very hard to grow! I've also grown vegetables, but it was very difficult to grow them! "
Perhaps it was because she had been inspired by Xixi's previous conclusion, but Lan Xin also followed suit and analyzed the situation.
This made Yang Yi a little surprised. He realized that his and Teacher Li Ruolan's judgment might be right! Because now it seemed that Lan Xin, this little girl, was quite righteous, and her previous behavior was just a small mistake that she didn't care about!
"That's right!" Yang Yi smiled, clapped his fist, and said encouragingly, "So, think about it in reverse. If the panda wants to eat watermelon, but it can't steal the farmer's watermelon, what should it do? If you can understand it, then you can tell us the truth of this story! "
Lan Xin was overjoyed. She giggled and rushed to say, "I know, I know. It's just that if a panda wants to eat a watermelon, it can't steal a farmer's watermelon. It should first ask the farmer, 'Uncle farmer, I want to eat a watermelon. Can I have a watermelon?'"
Xi Xi was also on the side. She smiled and nodded her little head. "Yes, yes, yes!"
"Very good. In fact, if you can be better and tell the deeper meaning of these two stories, it would be even better! For example, these two stories tell us a very simple truth. We have to understand that what is ours and what is others'. If it's ours, okay, no problem, it doesn't matter what you do with it! But if it's someone else's, such as the pear on the roadside or the farmer's watermelon, we try not to take it from others. But if we really want it, we have to take the initiative to ask others to see if they are willing to give it to us. This is a very basic etiquette and a moral code that must be followed! "
Yang Yi gestured to Xi Xi and Lan Xin with a thumbs up, and said with a smile, "Of course! In fact, your performance tonight was very good! It exceeded my expectations. In the future, I can continue to practice your storytelling skills! "
These compliments made Xi Xi and Lan Xin very happy. However, Lan Xin was still a little nervous. She looked at Father Yang eagerly, her little feet twisting on the ground, waiting to hear the sentence that she had been looking forward to the most.
Since the goal of today had been achieved, Yang Yi certainly had to satisfy her. "That's right, Xi Xi and Xin Er both finished your stories very well tonight, so I think that you should both receive the rewards that I promised before!"
Before he finished speaking, Xi Xi and Lan Xin couldn't wait to cheer.
"Yay! That's great, Xin Er can also go to Taiwan to play! "
"Hehe, hehe!" Lan Xin was also so happy that she didn't know what to say. She hugged Xi Xi and jumped up and down.
