The family enjoyed a hearty breakfast at the hotel, which included soft bread, fresh fruit and fragrant hot drinks. After breakfast, they decided to go to a folk culture village near the ancient town.

As soon as you enter the village, you can hear the cheerful sound of gongs and drums. It turns out that the villagers are performing traditional folk programs. The actors are dressed in colorful traditional costumes and have delicate makeup on their faces. Their movements are neat and energetic, and every expression is full of love for life.

Lin Yuelin and Lin Ruize excitedly squeezed to the front of the crowd, watching the performance intently and clapping their hands to the rhythm. Lin Wanyi held a camera and kept capturing the children's cute expressions and wonderful performance moments. Jiang Tingyan chatted with a villager on the side to learn about the history and cultural connotations of this folk show.

After watching the performance, they walked along the path of the village, where there were many traditional workshops on the roadside. In a workshop making traditional kites, an old master was concentrating on painting a kite. The patterns on the kites were exquisite, with eagles flying high, beautiful flowers, and cute little fish. Lin Yuelin's eyes sparkled, and she said to the master, "Grandpa, you paint so beautifully!" The master looked up, smiled and touched her head, "Little girl, do you want to try?" Lin Yuelin hesitated, and Lin Wanyi encouraged her, "Baby, go and try." Under the guidance of the master, Lin Yuelin picked up the paintbrush and carefully colored the butterfly pattern on a kite. Her eyes were focused, and her little tongue unconsciously stuck out a little, and her serious look made everyone laugh. Lin Ruize was selecting the finished kites on the side. He took a fancy to a kite with cartoon characters and couldn't let it go.

After coming out of the kite workshop, they came to a shop that makes traditional pastries. The shop was filled with a sweet scent, and all kinds of pastries were placed on the shelves, including plum-shaped mung bean cakes, jujube paste cakes with the word "Fu" printed on them, and small and exquisite walnut cakes. Lin Ruize's eyes were immediately attracted by these pastries. He pulled the corner of Lin Wanyi's clothes and said, "Mom, I want to eat that." Lin Wanyi smiled and nodded, and bought some different kinds of pastries. The family sat at a small table outside the shop, tasting the pastries. The pastries melted in the mouth, sweet but not greasy. Lin Yuelin ate them with her mouth full, and kept saying, "It's so delicious!" Jiang Tingyan looked at the children's satisfied look, took out a tissue to help them wipe their mouths, and his eyes were full of pampering.

In the afternoon, the sun became warmer. They came to the central square of the Folk Culture Village, where there are many interactive activities. There is an area for guessing lantern riddles, and colorful lantern riddles are hung on the branches, swaying in the wind. Lin Yuelin and Lin Ruize couldn't wait to run over and start guessing lantern riddles. Lin Yuelin tilted her head, looked at a lantern riddle and whispered: "The curved vines climb up the frame, and strings of pearls hang on it. (Guess a fruit)" She thought for a while, and her eyes suddenly lit up, "It's grapes!" Lin Ruize was not to be outdone. He pointed to a lantern riddle and said to Jiang Tingyan: "Dad, I know this, five brothers, living together, with different names, and different heights. (Guess a human organ) It's a hand!" Jiang Tingyan smiled and corrected him: "It's a foot, because five toes are like five brothers." Lin Ruize scratched his head and smiled embarrassedly.

On the other side of the square, there is also a traditional pot-throwing game. Jiang Tingyan took Lin Ruize to try it. Jiang Tingyan demonstrated it first. He stood tall, holding the arrow feathers, and threw it into the pot with focused eyes. The arrow fell steadily into the pot. Lin Ruize clapped excitedly, "Dad is so awesome!" When it was his turn, although he was a little nervous, he still tried hard to imitate his father's movements. After several attempts, he finally succeeded in throwing the arrow into the pot. He jumped up with joy, and Lin Wanyi and Lin Yuelin cheered for him on the side.

Unconsciously, the sun gradually set in the west, and the sky was dyed orange-red. Jiang Tingyan brought his family to a small hillside near the cultural village, where they could overlook the entire village and the surrounding beautiful scenery. The family sat on the grass, quietly admiring the sunset. Lin Wanyi leaned in Jiang Tingyan's arms and whispered, "I'm really happy today, and the children must be unforgettable." Jiang Tingyan nodded in agreement. He looked at the two children laughing and playing on the grass, and his heart was full of gratitude.

After returning to the hotel, the children were a little tired, but still excitedly discussed their experiences today. Lin Wanyi asked the children to take a bath and prepare to rest. After the children finished their bath, Jiang Tingyan told them a story about courage and friendship. The protagonist in the story did not back down when facing difficulties, and overcame many difficulties with his friends. The children listened with gusto, their eyes full of admiration for the brave.

After the children fell asleep, Jiang Tingyan and Lin Wanyi sat in the living room. They looked at the photos and videos taken today and recalled every beautiful moment. They planned their next trip and wanted to go to the beach so that the children could feel the vastness of the sea and the softness of the beach. They knew that every bit of these trips would become the most precious wealth in the children's growth process and the warmest memories in their family life. As the night deepened, they gradually fell asleep with expectations for the future. In their dreams, they were a family laughing and playing at the beach.

On the third day, the sun was still shining brightly. The family packed their luggage and prepared to leave this place full of memories. On the way out, the children kept looking back with reluctance in their eyes. Jiang Tingyan said to them: "My dears, we will have more interesting trips in the future." The car slowly drove away, but the beauty of this trip remained in their hearts forever, becoming an eternal treasure in their lives, inspiring them to explore more unknown beauty.

The car was driving on the winding road, and the scenery outside the car window flashed by like a slide show, but the children's minds were still on the folk culture village. Lin Yuelin pressed her little face against the car window, looking at the village gradually going away, muttering: "I really want to see those beautiful kites again." Lin Ruize also nodded, his eyes full of nostalgia.

Jiang Tingyan and Lin Wanyi smiled at each other, knowing that this trip had planted a good seed in the children's hearts. Along the way, they played relaxing music and talked about sharing the fun of this trip with relatives and friends after returning home.

After returning home, Lin Yuelin and Lin Ruize could not wait to rush to their room, take out the small ornaments and toys they bought during the trip, and show them to their grandparents. They vividly described the wonderful folk performances, the fun of the kite workshop, the joy of guessing lantern riddles and the excitement of the pot throwing game. The two elderly people were infected by the children's happiness and their faces were filled with happy smiles.
