After the performance, the host came on stage again: "Next, it's the parent-child game session we've been waiting for! The first game is 'Parent-child relay dribbling'." The staff quickly placed the game props on the lawn, and the colorful yoga balls were neatly arranged next to the starting line. The rules of the game are that parents and children form a group, and the child starts first, pushing the yoga ball forward with a cart. After arriving at the designated location, the ball is passed to the parent, and the parent then returns to the starting point with the ball on his head. Every family is eager to try, and the atmosphere is very warm.

Jiang Tingyan's family was ready. Lin Ruize held the handle of the cart tightly, looking forward with a firm look, his little face flushed slightly because of nervousness and excitement. With a whistle, Lin Ruize rushed out like a little rocket. He pushed the cart carefully, keeping his eyes on the yoga ball, for fear that it would fall. Lin Yuelin on the side shouted loudly: "Brother, come on! You are the best!" Jiang Tingyan and Lin Wanyi were also cheering for him. Lin Ruize successfully transported the ball to the designated location, and then handed the ball to Jiang Tingyan. Jiang Tingyan took the ball, placed it steadily on his head, and walked back with steady steps. He was upright and relaxed. His skilled appearance made the parents around him admire him.

At the same time, other families were also competing fiercely. Some children were too nervous and their carts went sideways, causing the yoga balls to roll out. Parents were on the sidelines to encourage them; some parents accidentally dropped the balls while heading them, causing everyone to laugh and the scene was filled with a joyful atmosphere.

The next game was "Folklore Quiz Competition". The host presented various folk culture-related questions on the stage, including traditional festival customs, folk handicrafts, ancient legends, etc. Each family answered the questions by rushing to answer them. Points were awarded for correct answers and points were deducted for incorrect answers.

When the host asked the question: "Besides eating zongzi, what other traditional customs are there during the Dragon Boat Festival?"

Lin Yuelin quickly raised her hand and answered loudly: "Dragon boat racing, hanging calamus and mugwort!"

The host smiled and said, "Correct answer! One point for Jiang Tingyan's family." Lin Yuelin jumped up excitedly and high-fived her family to celebrate. The family next to her was not to be outdone and actively answered the question.

A little boy was so anxious to answer that he stood up from his chair and shouted out the answer. Although he got the answer wrong, his cute and serious look made everyone laugh. This session not only tested the parents and children's understanding of folklore knowledge, but also allowed everyone to learn more interesting folk culture through the game.

The next activity was "Parents and children hand-made traditional masks". The staff distributed materials for making masks to each family, including colored cardboard, feathers, sequins, glue, etc. Parents and children should work together to use their creativity to make a mask with folk characteristics.

Jiang Tingyan's family sat together and began to discuss the design plan. Lin Wanyi gently said to the children: "We can make a mask with beautiful patterns like the ones we saw in the Folk Culture Village."

Lin Yuelin's eyes lit up: "Mom, we can make a mask with a phoenix pattern, and the phoenix's tail should be made of colorful feathers." Lin Ruize nodded in agreement: "It should also have sparkling sequins that shine like the sun."

So, everyone divided the work and cooperated. Jiang Tingyan was responsible for cutting the cardboard, Lin Wanyi used glue to paste feathers, and Lin Yuelin and Lin Ruize selected sequins for decoration. Other families were also busy, some were making tiger masks, and some were making masks in the style of Peking Opera masks. The scene was lively. The children used their imaginations, and the parents were patiently guiding them, and laughter came from time to time. After the mask making was completed, the final "Parent-Child Folk Fashion Show" was ushered in. Each family had to wear the masks they made, matched with folk costumes or accessories, and walked on the stage for a catwalk. Parents and children put on their carefully prepared "equipment". Some families wore traditional Hanfu, some wore ethnic minority-style costumes, and some cleverly combined various folk elements.

Jiang Tingyan's family walked onto the stage wearing exquisite masks. Lin Wanyi wore an elegant modified cheongsam, Jiang Tingyan wore a Chinese gown, and Lin Yuelin and Lin Ruize wore cute folk-style skirts and jackets. They walked with confidence and showed their style on the stage. Lin Ruize also posed a handsome pose from time to time, making the audience laugh. The other families also had their own characteristics. The whole fashion show was like a feast of folk culture, with colorful costumes and unique masks complementing each other on the stage.

The event came to an end amid laughter and joy, and the host walked onto the stage: "Today's parent-child cultural event is about to end. Thank you to every family for your active participation. Everyone has shown their love for folk culture and their cherishment of parent-child time through games and performances. I hope this event will leave everyone with good memories, and let us look forward to our next gathering!" Parents and children left the event site with full joy and warmth. This event was like a shining pearl, inlaid in the long river of their memories.

After returning home, Lin Yuelin and Lin Ruize were still immersed in the joy of the event. They excitedly told their grandparents about every detail of the event. Lin Ruize took the small prize he won in the event and said proudly: "Grandpa, grandma, we played a lot of fun games today and won prizes!" Lin Yuelin added: "We also watched a beautiful dance performance. I liked the folk knowledge quiz game the most. I answered a lot of questions correctly." Lin Huaicheng and Song Rouying listened to their stories with a smile, their eyes full of love.

Lin Huaicheng and Song Rouying smiled at each other. Lin Huaicheng looked at the two children lovingly and said slowly: "My dears, your performance today has made your grandparents so proud. We have decided to give you some of Lin's shares." Lin Yuelin and Lin Ruize blinked their eyes. Although they were not quite clear what shares were, they could tell from their grandparents' expressions that this was a great reward, and they cheered immediately.

Jiang Tingyan and Lin Wanyi looked helpless. Jiang Tingyan frowned and said softly to Lin Huaicheng: "Dad, they are still so young, isn't it too early to give them shares? They don't understand these business matters at all." Lin Wanyi also echoed: "Yes, and this is too heavy for them. I don't want them to be bound by these interests too early."

Lin Huaicheng waved his hand and said firmly: "I know your concerns, but this is our intention. Let them get in touch with these things early, and cultivate their business awareness, which will also be beneficial to the family business in the future." Song Rouying took Lin Wanyi's hand and said: "Wanyi, we are also doing this for the good of the children. This is part of the family heritage."

Lin Ruize looked at his parents' embarrassed expressions, pulled Lin Huaicheng's clothes and asked, "Grandpa, what are shares? Is it something fun?" Lin Huaicheng smiled and hugged him and said, "This is a very valuable thing. You will understand when you grow up."

Jiang Tingyan sighed helplessly, knowing that once his father-in-law made a decision, it would be difficult to change it. So he squatted down, looked at Lin Yuelin and Lin Ruize and said seriously: "Children, your grandparents gave you a very precious gift, but it also means responsibility. You must study hard and become better, so as not to let this love down." Lin Yuelin and Lin Ruize nodded, not quite understanding. (End of this chapter)
