Dinner was early tonight because we promised the little ones that we would take them to see the lantern exhibition.
Since there are quite a few children, tonight was a full family mobilization.
Lu Ran and Lu Hao have grown up, Wang Xiaoxin as a mother was pulling one on each side, Lu Yixuan directly hoisted his little nephew Gu Hongrui onto his shoulders, walking side by side with them.
Gu Qianru was holding Yanyan, Luo Qiao was holding Yueyue, Lu Yichen had Huang Hongye sitting on his shoulders, the little buddy Lu Hongyu was placed on Stone’s shoulders, with Taifeng trailing as backup.
Behind them were Lu Yiting and Kong Xiangrui. Kong Mingyang, seeing his little cousins all seated high, also cried out, "Daddy, hurry up, I want to sit high too."
Kong Xiangrui smiled at his son’s anxious look: "All right, all right, my little ancestor."
As he spoke, he hoisted his son onto his shoulders: "Mommy, I can see so far, I’m almost as tall as those floats."
Lu Yiting watched her restless son: "Sit tight, don’t fall down."
On both sides were lantern displays made by various units, each with its uniqueness. There were performances of stilt-walking, lion dancing, dragon dancing, big-headed doll parades, and land boat rowing along the way - all of which delighted the little ones imnsely.
As the crowd watching the lanterns grew thicker, Gu Qianru and Luo Qian also picked up Yanyan and Yueyue, fearing they might get trodden on in the crowd.
Lu Yichen tapped Big Brother, who was walking ahead, to take over Yanyan from his aunt’s arms, then he took Yueyue from his wife’s hands. After all, being trained individuals, they carried one on their neck and another in arms, ensuring all seed well.
With her hands now free, Luo Qiao took out the cara and snapped many pictures. Despite the crowd, these were the happy mories of the children’s childhood.
By the ti we got ho, it was late. The little ones washed up and quickly fell asleep from exhaustion.
Luo Qiao’s family spent a lively Lantern Festival with Old Master Gu, making dumplings and cooking sweet rice balls, the whole family joyfully together.
In the afternoon, they went shopping to buy so local specialties to take with them, visited the grandparents at the Luo Family ho, and as per usual returned to the second courtyard in the evening, really not looking forward to facing the farewell.
Early the next day, Luo Xuyan and Luo Xuyuan arrived at the second courtyard early to join Lu Yichen in seeing off their sister and nephews at the airport.
Yanyan and Yueyue clung to Lu Yichen’s neck, reluctant to let go, and the little ones were also quite downcast.
Lu Yichen was no less reluctant to part with them; his eyes were turning red: "Darling, be good, just one more year, and when you co back next ti we won’t separate again. Listen to mom, and help dad take care of her, okay?"
Yanyan said through tears, "We will take good care of Mom, Dad rember to call us."
After comforting his two daughters, Lu Yichen kissed his sons unwillingly and lastly held his wife’s hand: "Take good care of yourself and the children, I’ll be waiting for you at ho."
Luo Qiao, also holding back her reluctance, tried to lighten the mood of departure: "Okay, you too, take good care of yourself, and stay away from those won who show interest in you."
Lu Yichen suddenly smiled, lowering his voice: "Don’t worry, my body and soul only belong to you."
It wasn’t until the plane they were on disappeared into the sky that Lu Yichen, together with his two uncles, drove back.

After two days of travel, they finally returned to Boston. Picking them up was Qiao Hua, who had returned to Arica on the sixth day as he didn’t want to stay at that ho for even a mont.
If it hadn’t been for his grandmother needing to deal with sothing, he wouldn’t have gone back at all.
Qiao Hua dropped them ho: "Recently, I’ll be traveling on a business trip to another state, call if there’s anything."
Luo Qiao didn’t ask about his family affairs but understood from his expression that he probably didn’t have a pleasant ti back ho with his family.
When Wei Jun ca over, Luo Qiao inford him to transfer a sum of money to "Jin Cheng Construction." The land for the shoe factory was about to be auctioned, and Shen Jianzhong probably paid the deposit and had no money left.
He couldn’t be left without support, so the funds had to be in place in advance.
After returning to Boston, Luo Qiao only rested one day before she took the special products brought from ho back to the laboratory, receiving a warm welco from everyone.
The new drug previously developed was already undergoing clinical trials and had made progress. Professor Wilson praised Luo Qiao once again.
Those seniors had no choice but to admire her; Luo Qiao truly had a remarkable talent.
