After Hua Nanxing and his group disappeared from sight, Lin Zao and his companions returned to the General's Mansion.

The sadness of parting dissipated with the festive atmosphere of the New Year.

The liveliness at the general's mansion continued until the evening of the Lantern Festival.

On the night of the Lantern Festival, there is a lantern festival, and many people in Ganzhou City will come out to enjoy the lanterns.

Tang Jian and Lin Zao would naturally take their children out to participate as well.

This is Hu Tou and Ya Ya's first time attending the Lantern Festival. They have been looking forward to it for several days ever since they found out there would be a lantern festival tonight.

Tiger Head excitedly pulled his brothers ahead, looking at this stall for a while and then running over there.

They also had a lot of delicious food in their hands. Tonight, there were vendors selling all kinds of lanterns, snacks, and various trinkets. You could find almost everything you could want for eating, drinking, and having fun.

Today is arguably the busiest day of the year, with all sorts of stalls and vendors on display.

"Wow, this fried sugar cake smells so sweet, Mommy, I want some!"

"purchase."

Lin Zao is very lenient with the children today. He buys them whatever they want without showing favoritism. He makes sure everyone gets a share of whatever he buys.

The reason she did this was because she planned to leave for Datong Town early tomorrow morning and return as soon as possible.

To ensure the children had a good time, she didn't tell them she was leaving for a while.

Now, everyone in the family knows that she is leaving, except for the children.

Lin Zao planned to tell them first thing tomorrow morning, even though she knew the children would be reluctant, especially Hu Tou and Ya Ya, who would be the hardest to coax. But she was just as reluctant to part with the children.

But she didn't intend to leave without telling them; if she did, the children would definitely be even more uneasy, so it was better to tell them before she left.

At least it lets them know that she has something to do and will come back when she's done, instead of suddenly disappearing.

With that in mind, Lin Zao decided to spend some quality time with the children tonight and let them have a great time.

Ya Ya's excited voice rang out: "There are masks here too, it's my favorite rabbit! Mommy~"

Tiger Head perked up immediately upon hearing about masks. "Where are the masks? Wait for us to come over."

The children each had their own preferences, so they all went to look at the stalls they liked, but none of them were far apart.

Lin Zao and Tang Jian brought a large group of people and kept a close eye on the children, since it was crowded and noisy today, and it would be bad if something unexpected happened if they weren't careful.

Tiger Head pulled his brothers over to Ya Ya's side, and sure enough, they saw a lot of masks hanging on the stall.

There are rabbits, monkeys, foxes, and basically all kinds of animals.

"Monkey! I want a monkey! I want to be Sun Wukong!" Tiger Head cried out in delight.

When Lin Zao had free time, she would tell them bedtime stories. She had told them the story of Sun Wukong before, and Hu Tou admired Sun Wukong's intelligence and bravery the most.

Now that I see the monkey mask, I naturally want to buy it and wear it.

Lin Zao let each of the children choose one they liked, and Hu Tou and Ya Ya naturally chose the monkey and the rabbit.

Chen Wen chose the wolf head mask. He liked the wolf's loyalty, and since he had Gale and Black Wind in his family, he chose this one without hesitation.

Ma Qingping chose the tiger head mask because he likes the tiger head younger brother.

Tiger Head: "Wow, Second Brother's is a tiger head mask, so now there are two tiger heads, hahaha."

When he saw that his second brother had chosen a mask with a tiger's head, the same as his name, he immediately became smug, thinking that his second brother still liked him the most, hehe.
