Not to mention the attention of the two passerby girls, the nine children (including Tong Tong) gathered together was enough to build a food market!
After all, it was rare for them to come out and play together. Even Yang Luoqi and Yu Xiaowei, who were usually quiet and shy, had joyful smiles on their faces today. No matter how quiet they were, they were now working hard and actively joining in the conversation with everyone!
It was worth mentioning that because Lu Weisha was there, their conversation was a mix of Chinese and English. Xi Xi and Yang Luoqi's English was the best. Yang Luoqi had been learning English from her father, who was a university English teacher, since she was young. She also often had supplementary lessons, so she could communicate normally in English!
Lan Xin, Chen Shiyun, and Nan Zhaoyu's spoken English was also good. After all, when they were in kindergarten last year, they often spoke English with Lu Weisha. Now, they could even speak simple conversations.
Lu Xiaoyu and Yu Xiaowei were a little more difficult. Even Yu Xiaowei had not reached the level of speaking English. However, they still had Xi Xi to rely on. Lu Xiaoyu and Yu Xiaowei gathered around Xi Xi. They listened hard and asked Xi Xi how to say certain things. Then, they bravely went to communicate with Lu Weisha.
This process was painful and troublesome, but communication was full of fun. Under the enthusiasm of Xi Xi, the two girls also spoke English with a strange accent. Not only did they not seem out of place, but their laughter never stopped between them.
Don't underestimate these children's language learning ability. At this age, it was the best time to learn something, especially a foreign language. As long as they dared to speak and worked hard to learn, the speed at which they mastered spoken English was probably faster than the speed at which they learned written English in class!
This was also why the other parents were reluctant to interrupt the children's chatter before entering the cinema. Yang Luoqi's mother, Wu Yue, Chen Shiyun's father, Chen Guoqiang, Lu Xiaoyu's mother, etc. They were all well aware of this. Not to mention stopping them, they couldn't wait for their children to speak more with this foreign girl!
What was interesting was that even Little Momo, who couldn't speak fluently and couldn't understand what they were saying, was excitedly squeezed in between his sisters. Although his small stature couldn't reach his sisters' line of sight, he still had a sense of participation by looking left and right with his small head!
However, after entering the cinema, Yang Yi still had to stand up and maintain order. He couldn't let the children disturb the other guests.
Fortunately, he still had a say in this group of children. Or rather, these children liked him very much and were willing to listen to him.
Yang Yi stood in front of the group of children who were standing in a row and said softly, "We're in the cinema, so we have to be quiet. We can't speak loudly because this is a public place. If we speak too loudly and disturb others, the security uncle will drive us all out and not let us watch the movie!"
This was a very scary threat. They all wanted to watch the movie today. If they couldn't watch it, wouldn't it be a disaster?
Xi Xi was very supportive. She looked left and right nervously, as if to see if her friends were speaking. Then, she lowered her voice and translated her father's words to Lu Weisha in English, "My papa said that we can't speak loudly. We'll be arrested by the security uncle!"
Lu Weisha also reacted at this time. She quickly explained to Xi Xi. In fact, her English was a little bit messy, so she simply changed to Swedish, "I know, we're like this in Sweden too. We can't disturb others."
Xi Xi seemed to feel that her friend's voice was a little too loud. She quickly raised a finger and looked at Lu Weisha nervously.
Lu Weisha quickly covered her mouth and shrank beside Xi Xi. The two girls looked at each other and giggled with their eyes.
Yang Yi also took advantage of the time when they were waiting for the movie to start. He took the children to a slightly remote place on the stairs and held a small Q&A with them. At the same time, he taught them some civilized behavior in the cinema.
"Next, I'll ask some small questions. Let's see if you can answer them, okay? Whoever raises their hand first will be the one to answer. There's no penalty for answering wrong, but there's a prize for answering right. What's the prize? A Tong Tong kettle! "Yang Yi smiled and asked Murphy to bring over a Tong Tong kettle to show the children.
Actually, there was nothing special about this kettle. You just had to press a button to open the lid, and there was a straw that you could drink from. It was the same style and function as the ordinary kettles that the children used to drink from! The only difference was that it had a blue plastic base, and there was a white circle printed on the kettle. On the circle, there was a picture of Tong Tong opening its small branches and cheering!
Not only that, but it and the other Princess Elsa printed thermos flasks could already be bought on the Sahara Online Mall as a peripheral product of the "Frozen" animated movie!
Yang Yi suddenly came up with the idea of using it as a small prize to motivate the children, and it had a good effect. When Chen Shiyun and the others saw Tong Tong, they were all excited. In order to show off in front of Yang Yi, they pulled their little friends aside and excitedly whispered a few words. Then, they quickly stood back, puffed out their little chests, and held their little hands in front of them, ready to raise their hands to answer at any time.
"Pay attention, when we answer questions, you can only raise your hands. You can't say 'Me, Me, Me'." Yang Yi demonstrated vividly, making the children giggle. "Uncle Yang will be watching you. Whoever raises their hand first will be the one to answer. I guarantee that it's fair!"
"Okay!" The girls nodded obediently.
"Okay, now for the first question." Before Yang Yi finished speaking, he saw the children's faces tensed up nervously. Even Xi Xi, who already had the kettle, opened her beautiful big eyes to participate in the game.
Only Tong Tong did not know what his sisters were playing. He squeezed in between his sisters with a confused look on his face. He stuck in front of Xi Xi and behind Lu Xiaoyu, forming a row by himself.
Are they playing a game of standing in a row? The little boy looked around in confusion.
Yang Yi did not stop and asked the first question. "Can we play with our phones while watching a movie in the theater?"
The group of children raised their little hands in unison. However, there were also some who were too excited, such as Nan Zhaoyu. He raised his hand and tried to squeeze forward, saying, "No!"
"Oh, that's not right. I was the first one to raise my hand!" Xi Xi pouted unhappily and said to her father.
"That's right, Nan Zhaoyu. You can't do this next time. You have to wait until uncle calls your name. You can only answer when your name is called." Yang Yi smiled and rubbed Nan Zhaoyu's little head and said.
Nan Zhaoyu nodded his head in shame.
With this mistake as an example, the children knew what to do.
"Actually, Nan Zhaoyu was right. We can't play with our phones while watching a movie. However, we can answer this question again. Who can tell uncle why we can't?" Yang Yi asked with a smile.
However, this question was a bit difficult. There were not many people who wanted to answer it. Only two girls, Yang Luoqi and Xi Xi, rushed to raise their hands.
"Qiqi, first!" Yang Yi called her name.
Yang Luoqi opened her little mouth but found that she could not answer. An embarrassed expression appeared on her little face.
She also subconsciously rushed to answer. She had not thought of an answer yet!
What should she do?
