Chapter 328 1 Let’s Make Lanterns
Afterwards, everyone headed to the restaurant, which was bustling with people and the air was filled with the aroma of various delicious foods.
The two families walked into the restaurant and sat around a large table under the guidance of the waiter.
Soon, the table was filled with delicious food, which was colorful, fragrant and tasty.
During the meal, the two little guys, Xiaoyi and Lin Qianyu, seemed to have endless energy and suddenly started competing in eating speed.
Brother Xiaoyi stared at the food in the bowl, chewed quickly, and glanced at Lin Qianyu from time to time.
Lin Qianyu was not to be outdone. She stuffed rice into her mouth in big mouthfuls, her cheeks puffed up.
Their appearance made everyone laugh.
Jiang Zeyuan smiled heartily and patted Xiaoyi's head gently, "Xiaoyi, eat slowly, don't choke."
Lin Shuhuan smiled and looked at Lin Qianyu, "You, why are you competing with Brother Xiaoyi? Just eat well."
"I won't compete with you!" Yaoyao said with a laugh while enjoying the food happily.
After dinner, Jian Yue smiled and suggested going to see a movie.
Everyone agreed happily, and the group went to the cinema again.
The lights in the cinema were dim and the sweet smell of popcorn filled the air.
The children were very excited as soon as they entered the cinema. After choosing their seats, they stared at the screen.
After the movie started, they were initially excited to watch it and were deeply attracted by the wonderful pictures on the screen, exclaiming and laughing from time to time.
But before long, the children's energy was gradually exhausted.
Brother Xiaoyi was the first to fall asleep leaning on a chair, with his mouth slightly open and some traces of saliva, looking very naive.
Jiang Zeyuan gently covered Xiaoyi with his coat, gently touched Xiaoyi's hair, and then sat quietly beside him watching him.
Lin Qianyu couldn't resist the sleepiness either, and she slowly leaned her head on her father's shoulder. Soon she began to snore softly.
Lin Shuhuan slightly adjusted his posture to allow Lin Qianyu to sleep more comfortably.
Yaoyao lay in Jian Yue's arms as peacefully as a sleeping cat, her little hands still tightly grasping her clothes.
Jian Yue couldn't help but gently kiss Yaoyao on the forehead.
The movie continues...
On the Lantern Festival, Jian Yue's family began preparing for this special day early.
We decided to make lanterns together to let the children feel the charm of traditional festivals.
After breakfast, Jian Yue took out all the ingredients that she had prepared in advance and placed them on the table in the living room.
There are colored paper of various colors, bamboo strips, scissors, glue, paintbrushes, etc.
When Xiaoyi and Yaoyao saw these materials, their eyes immediately lit up and they were extremely excited.
"Mom, what kind of lanterns are we going to make today?" Brother Xiaoyi asked impatiently.
"We can make many kinds, such as bunny lanterns, lotus lanterns, or whatever you want."
"I want to make a little rabbit lantern because this year is the Year of the Rabbit!" Yaoyao raised her hand excitedly.
"Okay, let's get started." Jiang Zeyuan came in with bamboo sticks, ready to build the frame of the lantern first.
Jian Yue patiently taught the children how to fold colored paper.
Pick up a piece of red colored paper, fold it in half several times, and then use scissors to cut it into the shape of petals.
"Dear ones, look like this, let's cut out the petals first and use them to decorate the lanterns later."
Xiaoyi and Yaoyao watched carefully, then picked up the colored paper and started cutting like their mother.
However, their little hands are not very flexible yet, and the shapes of the petals they cut are a little irregular, but they are still very happy and think they have done a great job.
Jiang Zeyuan bent the bamboo strips into a circle as the frame of the lantern, and then fixed it with ropes.
"Come on, hand the petals you cut to Dad, and we'll decorate the lanterns together."
The children carefully handed the petals to Jiang Zeyuan.
Jiang Zeyuan glued the petals to the frame one by one.
After a while, the outline of a beautiful lantern appeared.
"Wow, it's so beautiful!" Yaoyao clapped her hands and cheered.
"It's not over yet, we still have to draw eyes and a mouth for the little rabbit."
Jian Yue picked up the paintbrush and drew a pair of cute eyes and a curved mouth on the white paper. Then she cut it out and pasted it on the lantern.
Brother Xiaoyi also picked up a paintbrush and painted some of his favorite patterns on the lantern, including stars, the moon and grass.
With the joint efforts of the whole family, a beautiful little rabbit lantern was finally completed.
Yaoyao happily ran around the living room holding the lantern, "Look at my lantern, it's so beautiful!"
"I want to make a more beautiful one too!" Brother Xiaoyi was not willing to be outdone and started making it again.
This time, he wanted to make a lotus lantern.
Together, they made the shape of lotus leaves with green colored paper and lotus flowers with pink colored paper.
Brother Xiaoyi carefully glued them onto the bamboo frame and painted some water droplets on the lotus to make the lanterns look more vivid.
When the second lantern was finished, Xiaoyi smiled proudly, "The lotus lantern I made is also very beautiful!"
"You are all amazing! These lanterns are so beautifully made." Jian Yue praised without hesitation.
Although they only have to do a small part of the work, the important thing is to participate and not let their enthusiasm be dampened.
At night, it gradually darkened.
The family went out with the lanterns they made by themselves.
The streets are already bustling with activity, filled with lanterns in all shapes and colors.
The children carried the lanterns they made and excitedly walked among the crowd, attracting a lot of attention and praise.
"Look, those two kids made their own lanterns, how amazing!"
Brother Xiaoyi and Yaoyao felt even more proud when they heard the compliments from others.
They ran faster, their laughter echoing in the night air.
As they walked, they saw a lantern riddle guessing event held by the community ahead, which was crowded and lively.
"Wow, Mom and Dad, there are riddles over there, let's go and take a look!" Brother Xiaoyi shouted excitedly.
"Okay, let's go and join in the fun." Jian Yue responded with a smile.
At the same time, she held Xiaoyi's hand tightly, fearing that he would get lost in the crowd.
Jiang Zeyuan also hugged Yaoyao tightly and followed the crowd to the lantern riddle area.
When we arrived at the riddle area, we saw pieces of riddle paper hanging under the colorful lanterns, swaying gently in the wind.
The children looked up at the notes curiously, their little faces full of excitement and anticipation.
"Dad, please read this to me." Brother Xiaoyi said, pointing to a riddle.
Jiang Zeyuan smiled and read: "A knife, floating on the water, with eyes but no eyebrows. Honey, guess what this is?"
Brother Xiaoyi tilted his head and thought for a while, "Is it a fish, Dad? Fish swim in the water, just like floating downstream, and fish have eyes but no eyebrows."
Jiang Zeyuan smiled and nodded, "Baby is really smart, you got it right! Let's go tell the staff."
At this time, Yaoyao also pulled Jian Yue's clothes and said, "Mom, read this."
She pointed to another riddle.
"It's a red fruit hanging on a stick, and it's coated with sugar and tastes delicious. Yaoyao, what do you think it is?"
Yaoyao blinked her eyes, thought for a while, and suddenly her eyes lit up, "It's candied haws, mom, we ate candied haws today, right?"
Jian Yue smiled and touched her head, "Yaoyao is really smart, she is just a candied haws."
Yaoyao laughed happily.
The whole family was immersed in the fun of guessing riddles, and from time to time they would guess a riddle correctly, winning applause and praise from the people around them.
