"It's fun to play basketball!"
"It's not fun to play basketball!"
In the car home in the evening, Xi Xi and Lan Xin had a debate on this issue. Obviously, no one could convince the other. Xi Xi was keen on sports, but Lan Xin was afraid of these exhausting sports activities. The two girls chattered and shouted at each other, as if they were about to quarrel.
"Wait a minute, did you learn how to play basketball in the physical education class today? You're too good! You're only in the first grade of primary school, but you're already learning how to play basketball. Come on, Xi Xi, Xin Er, tell me, how many basketballs did you shoot today? "Yang Yi had to intervene and change the topic with a smile.
"Only one basketball! I played with Xin Er. " Xi Xi didn't understand her father's question. She said innocently, "But Teacher Lu has a lot of basketballs!"
At this moment, Lan Xin also echoed, "Yes, there are so many basketballs. Teacher Lu has so many that I can't count them all." The little girl opened her hands and gestured.
Yang Yi knew that they had misunderstood, but it didn't matter. He said with a smile, "Aren't you two playing a basketball? There are 60 children in your class. If you divide them by half, that's 30 basketballs. Then count how many are left on the ground and whether the teacher has any basketballs in his hands. Add them all up and you'll get the number of basketballs! "
He didn't know if Xi Xi and Lan Xin could understand. Yang Yi just wanted to teach them some calculation thinking. However, looking at the two little girls blinking behind him and thinking in distress, Yang Yi guessed that they hadn't understood yet.
Xixi was still trying her best to figure it out, but Lan Xin adhered to the principle of not thinking about things that she didn't understand. Soon, she threw the thought to the back of her mind, and then said smugly, "Uncle Yang, let me tell you! When we were shooting basketball, I even asked Xixi to play for me! Because I'm very tired! "
"Yeah, Xin Er doesn't like to play." Xi Xi nodded.
"Xin Er, why don't you like to play?" Yang Yi asked. "Exercise is good for your health!"
"Because I'm tired. I don't want to play anymore." Lan Xin pouted and said, "The teacher didn't let me rest. I'm still tired!"
"Papa, I'm not tired at all. When I bounced the ball, the teacher praised me." Xi Xi enthusiastically said to her father as if she was asking for credit.
It seemed that the little girl wanted to help her little friend share the firepower. In fact, she just had a lot of stories that she wanted to tell her father and couldn't help but steal the topic.
"Really? How did the teacher praise you? "Yang Yi asked with a smile.
"Teacher Lu said that I'm very good. I'm the best at bouncing the ball among the girls!" Xi Xi said happily, but her tone suddenly became regretful. "But I'm not a boy, because Chen Yuxuan is better at bouncing the ball!"
Yang Yi understood what Xi Xi meant. She was saying that she couldn't compete with boys, but she was the best among the girls.
"That's great. After all, it's your first day of learning this." Yang Yi comforted her.
"Papa, at first, when I bounced the ball, I hit my nose. The ball flew up. Boom, my nose was hit. Hehe … "The little girl was still describing it vividly. Her little head was like a little chick pecking at rice. She suddenly nodded and even made the sound of a collision. After she finished speaking, she couldn't help but laugh.
"I was hit three times!" Lan Xin shouted, as if being hit was a reward.
"I was hit only once, and I didn't get hit again." Xi Xi said.
Yang Yi asked with concern, "Does your nose still hurt? And Xin Er, you were hit so many times. Did you bleed? "
In the rearview mirror, Xi Xi's lips were still red and her teeth were white. There was no problem at all. She shook her head and smiled sweetly. "It doesn't hurt. Hee hee, PaPa, it's been a long time!"
Lan Xin waved her hand casually. "It doesn't hurt, but I don't like to play. I let Xi Xi play!"
…
After returning home, Xi Xi was still a little unsatisfied. She wanted to play basketball for her parents.
"Do your homework first. Papa will buy you a basketball tomorrow." Yang Yi rubbed the little girl's head and said with a smile, "We don't have one at home now."
"Papa, you can take me with you to buy one. I want it now." Xi Xi was a little unhappy when she heard that she had to do her homework. She pulled her father's arm and acted like a spoiled child.
"Don't you want to do your homework?" Murphy asked.
The little girl pouted and didn't answer, but her expression had already revealed her inner thoughts.
"Papa received the homework text message from the teacher. It's not much. There's only homework for math and language. There's no homework for English today. Now you can do your homework. You can finish it before dinner in the blink of an eye. " Yang Yi scratched his daughter's delicate little nose and said, "If you finish your homework before dinner, you can play all night and watch TV, right?"
"But if you don't finish your homework, you won't be able to watch 'Big Head Fish and Small Head Shrimp' when it airs. You have to finish your homework first." Murphy played the bad guy and said seriously.
"I want to watch TV. I don't want to do my homework." Xi Xi ground her slippers unhappily.
She had to do her homework every day. Yang Yi actually knew that Xi Xi would be impatient, but he didn't expect that on the second day, she had already realized the conflict between homework and playing at home.
"None of us want to do homework, but we have to do it, because you also want the teacher's praise, and you also want Papa to be happy for you, right?" Yang Yi pulled Xi Xi to the sofa, and the two sat side by side and chatted.
Xi Xi gently nodded her little head, but she was still a little sad.
"Since it's necessary to do it, but we don't like it very much, what should we do?" Yang Yi said.
Xi Xi raised her little head and looked at her father with her big eyes in confusion. Yes, what should we do?
"At this time, we have to try our best to choose a time that doesn't conflict with our other things to finish it! For example, during the time before dinner, you usually have nothing to do, and you can only watch TV after dinner, when we come back from a walk. At this time, if we finish our homework, then we can play to our heart's content, right? "Yang Yi said.
Xi Xi felt that her father's words were reasonable. Although she was still a little reluctant, she still nodded her little head.
"Similarly, when doing homework, there are many ways to save energy and speed up. As long as you're willing to use your brain, as long as you're focused enough when doing homework, you'll be able to finish it faster and play faster." Yang Yi said, "You don't have to worry about this, Papa will slowly explore it with you, Papa will work hard with you, and strive to finish it in the shortest time, okay?"
Xi Xi's words sounded easier to accept, and her father would also help her, which was very important. Her originally depressed expression now became a little happy.
"Then, then Papa, you have to help me!" The little girl looked at her father with her eyes sparkling, and said expectantly.
"Well, of course, Papa will help you, because a smart person will not only work hard, but also be flexible in facing difficulties! Papa hopes that you are also a smart person! "Yang Yi pressed Xi Xi's shoulder and said in an encouraging tone.
"I am a smart child!" Xi Xi tilted her little head and shouted, as if she was declaring something. The little girl's positive attitude came back!
Yang Yi laughed, this was what he wanted to see — no matter what the results were, he hoped that Xi Xi would be the same as before, in the best state and with the most enthusiasm to study.
