"There are a lot of people. You have to hold the hands of father and mother and not run around, you know?" Su Wan whispered. Although it was impossible to leave him without someone to protect him, he still had to be careful in everything.
Shi Zai nodded softly.
The couple led their children to a stall selling lanterns, and then began to choose lanterns. Su Wan chose a lantern with a bright moon and laurel trees on it, Li Lin chose a lantern with a bright moon in front of the window, and Shi Zai chose a lantern with a bright moon in front of the window. made a goldfish lantern.
The goldfish lantern was extremely well made. The fish on it even had scales painted on it, and the color changed from light to dark. Shizi was very happy to hold the small goldfish lantern.
"Fish, can shine! Shine!"
"Mother, mother, mother."
Shi Zai really likes fish. He has played with the wooden fish for so long and still hasn't gotten tired of it. Now it has the same status in his heart as the Big Daze and Erdai dolls, and is his favorite.
Now I see this luminous fish with sparkling eyes. I like it very much.
Su Wan reached out and touched his little head: "Do you like it?"
"I like it." He liked it.
Su Wan added: "It's fine if you like it, but don't swing it around. There are candles inside. If you swing it around, it will burn out."
The lanterns sold on the street are all candles, and few use lamp oil. Because they are dangling in the hand, the lanterns inside may leak out accidentally, so it is more convenient to use this candle. Fix the candle and let the candle shake. Just don't fall out.
Shizai hummed softly, held a small lantern, and walked among the crowd with his parents on his short legs. He was very happy.
However, as he walked, he discovered something was wrong.
He saw many children being held in the arms of their fathers or mothers, or riding on their heads. The little child was riding on the adults' heads, and it suddenly grew much taller, looking very happy.
Moreover, there was a child riding on his father's shoulders and making a face at him when he passed by.
Shi Zai felt that his short figure was obscured by the shadows of people walking around, and the more people there were, the fewer scenes he saw.
So he became unhappy, turned around and tugged on his father's sleeve: "Dad, I want to ride too!"
Li Lin: "?!"
The child's thoughts always come up suddenly and strangely, but he has had more children and is more patient, so he asked him: "What do you want to ride?"
Shizai held a small lantern and looked up at his father with wide eyes: "I also want to be high and ride on daddy's head!"
After that, he pointed to the child riding on his father's shoulders in the crowd nearby.
Li Lin: "!!!"
I think you want to eat farts!
This kid rebelled and wanted to ride on his father's head.
"No." Li Lin refused decisively.
Shi Zai was confused for a moment, and then felt aggrieved: "Why can't it be done? Others can ride it, so why can't Zai Zai?"
Everyone else has it, so how can Zaizai be without it?
Are you my dad?
Li Lin: "..."
Su Wan couldn't bear to say, "Baby, your dad's package to keep up his image is a bit heavy. He's afraid that others will laugh at him for being a horse for his son."
Su Wan stretched out his hand and pulled him, holding back his laughter and said: "You can play with him for a while. He is still young and doesn't remember things, so I can satisfy him. Otherwise, I can wait until he is older to make this request." I’m afraid you’re going to jump up.”
"Okay, just play with him for a while."
Li Lin frowned, feeling that this brat was really here to collect debts.
But I had no choice but to admit it, lest this brat grow up and say, "When I was a child, I went to the Mid-Autumn Festival with my father and mother, and saw other people's children riding on their father's shoulders. I wanted to, too, but my father refused. , I particularly envy other people’s children.
Li Lin silently recited a few words about his own life, and then asked someone to carry the brat up.
Shizai sat on his father's shoulder, his gaze suddenly raised, and he felt a bit like he stood out from the crowd. He looked down at these people coming and going, and he was very excited.
"Daddy! Daddy! Zaizai is so tall!"
"Mother, mother! Zaizai is so tall!"
Su Wan was still holding the lantern of the father and son in his hand. He looked up at him and said with a smile: "Yes, Zaizai is so tall now, so powerful."
"Zai Zai is so awesome!"
Li Lin glanced at his wife sadly, Su Wan snickered, pulled his sleeve and walked forward together, while whispering: "My dear, my dear, please bear with me."
Raising cubs is not easy, so be patient.
Human cubs are cute when they are cute, and when they torment people, they are really tormenting them.
Shizi was condescending, looking around as if he was inspecting his own territory. Fortunately, after watching for a while, he felt satisfied and was about to come down. However, he didn't want to walk, so he asked Huaisha to come over and hug him.
Li Lin had almost changed the secret guards around him now. When Hui Feng had an errand, he arranged for Huaisha to come out and follow him to help with some errands or take care of the children on weekdays.
Shizai has been hugged by these uncles a lot and is used to it. He is very happy to be hugged: "Uncle Shasha, hold the cub."
Huaisha dug into his sleeves, took out a handkerchief, wiped his hands, and then asked Su Wan if he wanted to give him a goldfish lantern. Shizi took the lantern and felt fond of it again.
Su Wan and Li Lin were walking in front. They looked back and saw that Huaisha was taking care of the children so carefully. They smiled and said, "Your subordinates are about to become child caretakers."
Li Linxiao: "I'm quite happy to see him."
Huaisha is careful and patient. Although he is a man, he became more comfortable taking care of the children after he was a little confused at the beginning.
Now Shizai follows Li Lin during the day when he is bored in the city lord's mansion. Huaisha also goes out with him to have fun. Li Lin saw this before, so he discussed it with him and let him follow Shizai for a while. around.
Although there are new people brought up, what Li Lin trusts the most is the group of people he selected himself and who have been with him for the longest time. If Huaisha is by his child's side, he can rest assured.
After all, he can't be with his children all the time.
Huaisha himself was happy, so the matter was settled.
The group of people walked through the lively streets and arrived in front of an elegant garden. Su Wan looked up and saw a plaque on it saying: Four Seasons Elegant Garden.
There was someone guarding the gate of the garden. Someone went up and handed the sign. The gatekeeper bowed his hands and saluted, then stepped aside. A group of people stepped into the gate and walked in.
"This elegant garden is planted with trees and flowers that bloom in all four seasons. There are trees that are evergreen and flowers in bloom all year round, so it is called the Four Seasons Elegant Garden."
"In the past, it was a place where some literati and elegant people gathered. They used to talk about poems and lyrics, but during festivals, there are always some programs. It's good to come and watch."
