"Xi Xi, what did you and your dad do?"
Yang Yi finished assembling the well and was pasting the instructions that Xi Xi and Murphy had made. Yang Luoqi was probably bored watching her parents build the house, so she sneaked over. She was attracted by the colorful "thing" from afar, so she came over curiously and squeezed beside Xi Xi to take a look.
"This is a well, my grandpa's well," Xi Xi said sweetly.
"But what is a well?" Yang Luoqi, who had grown up in the city, didn't understand.
Xi Xi couldn't answer this question. Yang Yi, who had finished sticking the stickers on both sides, helped his daughter out of her predicament. He smiled and said, "A long time ago, when there was no running water, if people wanted to drink water, they had to dig a deep well in the ground to get clean water from the ground. Our well was made to simulate an old-fashioned well."
Yang Luoqi finally understood, but she still looked at this new thing curiously.
After taking care of Tong Tong and wiping his drool, Murphy turned around and poked Yang Yi. She said with interest, "Can you simulate how to draw water? I haven't seen how it works yet. "
Yang Yi saw that Lan Xin had also come over and Xi Xi and Yang Luoqi were looking at him eagerly. Naturally, he wouldn't refuse and nodded with a smile. He first filled the plastic oil bottle that was used as the well with water. The oil bottle wasn't small, so it took a few bottles of mineral water to fill half of the water level!
"Look carefully! We're going to use this bucket to draw the water out of the well! " Yang Yi shook the bucket made of inverted mineral water bottles and gestured to the children.
In order to see clearly, Xi Xi, Lan Xin, and Yang Luoqi all moved to the front and looked in through the open side of the delivery box.
At this moment, the three of them were bursting with curiosity, so they only cared about watching and didn't have the time to talk. The three of them pursed their lips tightly, and their six obsidian-like beautiful eyes stared closely, afraid that they would miss the slightest detail.
Yang Yi shook the handle of the winch and lowered the bucket. Because the bottom of the bucket was smaller than the opening of the bucket, it wouldn't float straight on the water surface after it was lowered. Some of the clear "well water" had already flowed in along the edge of the bucket.
"If you're afraid that the water won't come in, we can swing the rope left and right. But this is a technical job, so it's not easy to master. " Yang Yi let go of the handle and shook his shoelaces. This was indeed not easy. Yang Yi tried a few times before he could swing the bucket properly. Of course, by this time, the bucket was almost full!
Yang Luoqi, on the other hand, stood there quietly and watched. Xixi and Lan Xin, on the other hand, couldn't help but feel that it was quite fun. Xixi was fidgeting around, eager to try, and Lan Xin couldn't wait to get started. Of course, she didn't dare to act recklessly. She just couldn't help but touch the handle of the winch.
Yang Yi saw it and didn't blame her. Instead, he encouraged Lan Xin to do it. "The water is full. Now you can pull it up. Xin Er, try it. Turn it in this direction and pull the bucket up!"
After successfully pulling up a bucket of water from the well, Lan Xin was overjoyed. She turned around and was about to tell Lan Zhou Kai.
Xi Xi also jumped around excitedly. She held her father's arm and chattered with him about her feelings. "It's really possible! PaPa, I think it's super fun! "
Yang Yi smiled and poured the water in the "bucket" back into the well, restoring it to its original state. Then he asked, "Okay, who wants to try?"
"Me! Me! "Xi Xi raised her hand happily.
"Me too!" Yang Luoqi was also beaming at this moment. The shy little girl was not nervous in front of Yang Yi's uncle.
Hearing this, Lan Xin didn't have time to finish talking to her father. She quickly turned back, raised her hand and shouted, "I want to play too!"
"Xin 'er, you already played with it just now." Xixi pouted her small mouth, somewhat unhappy.
Murphy was worried that the little guys would quarrel because of this small matter, so she quickly comforted them. "Qiqi has to go back to help her PaPa and Mom later. Let Qiqi play first, okay? Then Xi Xi will be the second. Xin Er just played half of it. You will be the third. But it doesn't matter! Our well is here. You can play at any time, right? "
Murphy's gentle arrangement was acceptable to Xi Xi and Lan Xin. The two little girls eagerly watched Yang Luoqi's operation.
However, although Yang Luoqi was the first to play, she was unfamiliar with the operation and couldn't handle the bucket well. Xi Xi and Lan Xin enthusiastically surrounded her and helped her. In the end, it turned into a scene of the three little girls working together to draw water.
"Don't you want to play?" Yang Yi watched for a while, then turned to look at Murphy and asked with a smile. He felt that Murphy was also very interested in this handicraft, which could be seen from her performance just now.
"Even if you want to play, you can't compete with the children!" Murphy's tone changed and said with some pride, "Moreover, after today's activity, aren't you going to take it home? When I get home, I'll play as long as I want! "
Yang Yi couldn't help laughing.
…
The activity here also attracted the other children. Chen Shiyun, Lu Weisha, Nan Zhaoyu, and other children were all rushing over. They had a strong interest in the well that Xi Xi and her father had made.
Yang Yi encouraged Xi Xi to take over and explain the theory of the well to the other children. Although the little girl was stumbling, and there were many parts where she didn't use the right words or didn't explain clearly, at least she was brave enough to try. Yang Yi and Murphy were very happy to see this scene.
Of course, they weren't idle either. After Lanzhou Kai finished his house, Murphy and Wu Jingjing took the remaining materials and skillfully cut and decorated the house made of cardboard boxes.
The most amazing thing was still an old Tong Tong shoe on the roof. It was like a stroke of genius, filling the house with a mysterious and artistic touch!
"Big Brother Lan, your house is very sturdy!" Murphy said with a smile as she glued the shoe to Wu Jingjing.
"Of course!" Lanzhou Kai said with a smile to Murphy. He even winked at Yang Yi and said, "Why don't you see whose delivery box you're using!"
Sahara Express, showing the customer's care from the details!
Of course, there was still a small accident on Xi Xi's side.
A little boy used too much force and broke the support of the pulley. This accident almost made Xi Xi cry, and Lan Xin even ran over to complain to Yang Yi.
Fortunately, Yang Yi stepped forward bravely and used tape to fix the support. The little girl wiped her tears, and her eyes were red. Only then did the rain clear up, and she returned to her previous cheerful self.
It had to be said that every family was very serious about making handicrafts out of old materials today. After all, it was a parent-child activity, so the parents and children all had a lot of fun.
Yang Yi took some time to walk around with Xi Xi and saw a lot of creative works. The simplest and most interesting one was a family using long wooden clips, buttons, rubber bands, and straws cut into sections to make a small four-wheeled car!
Although this four-wheeled car didn't look special because it used different buttons, and the four wheels were of different sizes and colors, it was still a very interesting idea!
In the end, Xi Xi and Lan Xin went up happily and showed off the well and big house that they and their parents had made in front of everyone. They were even awarded the Technological Handicraft Big Red Flower by Teacher Mu!
After coming down, the two little girls were very excited. Their little chests puffed out, and they wanted their parents to see their Big Red Flower.
Yang Yi knew that every child had received a Big Red Flower. Teacher Mu had come up with a variety of ways to commend the children, saying that they were very special, but what did it matter?
In a parent-child activity, the parents and children were all happy. Then, the children gained joy and glory from their work. In their little minds, the seeds of diligence and frugality were planted. That was enough!
