Chapter 1099: Chapter 1099: May Our Childlike Innocence Never Fade, All Encounters Be Sweet

The two returned home, and the two little ones rushed out of the house. Yanyan ran while shouting, "Dad, mom, when are we going to start making the lanterns?"

Luo Qiao quickly jogged over to catch her, "It’s snowy, what if you slip?"

Yanyan stuck out her tongue, "I forgot."

Luo Qiao reached out and playfully pinched her little nose, "What am I going to do with you?"

Yueyue walked out of the house, "Dad, what are you holding in your hand?"

Lu Yichen walked over and picked up his little daughter, "I bought some colored paper, we’re going to use it to make lanterns in a bit."

It was snowing today, and Old Master Gu hadn’t gone out and was now standing under the windowsill, looking outside with a smile on his face, "It’s freezing cold, bring them inside quickly."

Luo Qiao looked to Stone, "Stone, go find pliers, scissors, wire, and rice threads."

Stone responded to the instruction, "Alright, I’ll get them right now."

Luo Qiao then looked to Taifeng, "Taifeng, go find Grandma Tang and ask her to help us make some paste, we’ll need it later."

Taifeng received the instruction, "Okay, I’m on it."

Watching Taifeng run off, this child, through everyone’s careful teaching and love, had already changed drastically and would surely grow up to be a man of steel like his father.

Now he got up early every morning, rain or shine, to exercise, his military boxing was vigorous, and he even told Old Master Gu that one day he wanted to join a military academy and become an outstanding soldier like his father.

Luo Qiao looked at the now confident and sunny Taifeng with great relief in her heart.

Next, once everything was ready, Luo Qiao looked at the children, "You can each choose a pattern, like making a little rabbit lantern, or a little mouse lantern, or even shape it like a cabbage, or just make a big red lantern."

Yanyan looked up and said, "Mom, my sister and I are born in the year of the tiger, I want to make a little tiger."

After saying this, she looked at her sister, waiting for her response.

Yueyue nodded, "Let’s make a pair of little tigers."

Stone said he wanted to make a shepherd boy, so he chose the scene with the boy playing the flute.

Taifeng thought for a while and said he wanted to make a mountain, he was missing the mountains behind Dabai Village.

With the goal set, everyone started working, busily and joyously.

First, they made a pair of little tiger lanterns, the frames were made by Lu Yichen with wire, and Stone helped Taifeng paste the paper, Yanyan and Yueyue were in charge of handing over materials and applying the paste, while Luo Qiao drew on them.

Old Master Gu found this quite entertaining and joined in too, making a pair of cabbage lanterns with wire himself, the children helped to paste the paper, and Luo Qiao took care of the finishing touches.

By the time it was dinner, the little tiger lanterns for Yanyan and Yueyue were ready, one pair per person, and Luo Qiao had painted them different colors, one pair white tigers, one pair Siberian tigers.

The two little ones looked at their lanterns, dancing around happily with them, and everyone else started laughing too.

Old Master Gu’s cabbages, after Luo Qiao’s final coloring, looked from a distance like two jade cabbages, and Old Master Gu happily announced, "Let’s hang them outside this afternoon, they’ll look beautiful when lit tonight."

Luo Qiao looked at Old Master Gu, who seemed like a child himself, and suddenly thought of the phrase ’May we never lose our childlike hearts, may all we encounter be sweet,’ and looking at the smiling faces of Stone and Taifeng, the phrase ’May there be light in our eyes, and love in our hearts’ came to mind.

Yes, may all good things come at the right time, how wonderful.

When Gu Qianru came to call everyone for lunch, they were still busy, and Lu Yichen put down what he was holding, "Let’s go, we’ll continue after lunch."

The little ones clearly wanted more, somewhat reluctant to leave.

Luo Qiao finished her last stroke, placed the brush in the water, and got up, saying, "There’s a time for everything, I hope you understand that."

Upon hearing Luo Qiao’s words, the children quickly set down their items and ran to wash their hands.

The two little ones still occasionally glanced over at their lanterns while eating, looking endearingly cute.

In the afternoon, Taifeng’s mountain was completed. He held it, eyes welling up, unwilling to let go. Luo Qiao felt somewhat guilty, regretting adding those extra touches that made Taifeng nostalgic.

Luo Qiao had drawn a rough outline of Dabai Village on it and even sketched a small tombstone on the mountainside, so tiny you couldn’t really see it unless you looked closely, but Taifeng saw it instantly.

Gu Qianru stayed by Taifeng’s side the whole time, not saying a word.

When Stone’s shepherd boy lantern was completed, Taifeng finally cheered up, "I worried you."

He got up and went to Luo Qiao’s side, "Thank you, aunt."

Luo Qiao patted Taifeng on the shoulder, "I’ll take a picture for you later, as a keepsake."

Lu Yichen had already taken out the camera, loaded the film, and took pictures of everyone, even taking a group photo of the children.

Seeing there was still time, they started making another pair of lanterns based on the zodiac signs for Ran Ran and Hao Hao, hoping they would also be happy when they returned.
