The lantern embryos were quickly finished, and in the blink of an eye, Shen Changfeng had five more formed bamboo stands at hand.

There was a round embryo, two small animal embryos, and a Kongming lantern embryo. There was only one left. Gu Yiyi looked like an ordinary square lantern.

Next, it was time to paste the paper. Shen Changfeng cooked the paste early in the morning. Dabao went to the kitchen to get the paste, Erbao went to the study to get the paper, and Sanbao followed Gu Yiyi to set up the altar table, eating secretly while setting it.

Paper pasting is a more delicate job than pressing embryos, and because the embryos are hollow, the fit must be controlled well. If not done properly, the surface of the lantern will be uneven, which may be thicker or thinner, and may be caught in the wind. The candle inside won't burn long.

Shen Changfeng glanced at Gu Yiyi secretly and felt a little relieved when he saw that she was busy setting up the altar table.

He had to quickly paste up the lanterns to avoid accidentally revealing his flaws.

After all, this job still requires your eyes.

After the lantern embryos were pasted, Gu Yiyi's altar table was also set up.

She walked over and saw five fat, white lanterns lying on the ground to dry.

"Hey, so fast, I thought it would take a long time."

Shen Changfeng smiled and said, "Of course it's not healed yet. There is only one layer of white embryo now. When the starch dries, it needs a little embellishment. I can't do this. My wife and children have to do it themselves."

Sanbao thought this was a fun thing to do and agreed immediately.

"No problem, I will make it right with my mother, dad, don't worry!"

Gu Yiyi had never made lanterns before, "How will we decorate them later? Should we paint them or put some decorations on them?"

Shen Changfeng said: "It's all fine. It depends on what Madam likes. The style of this lantern is based on personal preference."

It had been a long time since she had done this kind of manual work, and Gu Yiyi was eager to try it.

"Okay, let me see what's at home."

Dabao had already prepared pen and ink, "Mother, there are red and black ink in the study."

Gu Yiyi nodded, thinking about what decorations she should get for the children.

"With only black and red ink, I can't draw a little rabbit or a big tiger. I don't have any colored paper at home, so what else can I get..."

Erbao tilted his little head, looking at the rabbit lantern on the ground and talking to himself.

"Red, white, and black, and the bunny is white."

As she said that, she looked at the place where the rabbits were circled in her home.

Generally speaking, hares are mostly gray and colorful, and there are also white ones, but they are rare.

Among the pairs of rabbits raised at home, only one was white. Erbao carefully observed the little white rabbit and quickly sketched the appearance of the rabbit lantern in his mind.

She said "Ah" and shouted happily: "Mom, I know how to draw a rabbit lantern!"

Gu Yiyi pretended to be surprised, "Really? Erbao is so smart. Tell mother how you want to draw, and mother will help you."

Erbao pointed to the rabbits raised at home, "There are white rabbits at home. We can also make white rabbits. In this way, the white embryos of the lanterns do not need to be colored. The eyes of white rabbits are red, and their ears and claws are slightly If it’s pink, use black for your beard!”

Gu Yiyi agreed: "Yes, we can also make a complete rabbit lantern this way."

"But where to find pink?"

Dabao and Sanbao also thought about this problem.

Sambo: "Yes, there is no pink ink."

Dabao thought of using something else instead, "Can I use flower juice?"

Erbao was still smiling, "Two idiots, a little bit of red and a lot of water will make it pink."

Dabao suddenly realized, "Yes, as long as the red color is lighter, it looks almost like pink."

Gu Yiyi raised her eyebrows. Dabao and Erbao also understood the changes in these colors and were very observant.

Sanbao looked at Dabao and Erbao's lanterns and thought about how to do it. His little tiger didn't know how to do it yet and was a little anxious.

He grabbed Gu Yiyi's sleeve and said coquettishly, "Mom, what should I do with my little tiger? The little tiger can't be white, otherwise it won't be powerful!"

Gu Yiyi pinched his face and said, "You are young and you want to be powerful. Don't worry, my mother will do it for you."

Sanbao laughed and hugged Gu Yiyi, "Mom is the best!"

Shen Changfeng looked at the children's heartfelt smiles and was also emotionally affected.

He touched the lantern embryo and found that the paste on it was almost dry.

"The lanterns are dry and can be decorated. Once the lanterns are finished, remember to leave a place for me on the Kongming lantern. Each of us will write our wishes, and then let the Kongming lantern fly together. We will also get the good luck of a reunion."

Gu Yiyi never believed in praying, but she didn't want to spoil such a happy day.

She and the children decorated lanterns, and she wanted to draw Erbao's little bunny herself, so Gu Yiyi and Dabao made Sanbao's little tiger together.

Gu Yiyi found yellow and red paint from the space and mixed out the orange bit by bit.

She mixed several colors and let Dabao and Sanbao choose. The two children chose two colors, and she decided to use them both.

Draw patterns on the little tiger's partitions, and then give half to Dabao and half to Sambo. The two children painted very carefully.

Then, she picked up the remaining square lantern and thought about what to do with it.

Shen Changfeng took a pen out of the study room, saw her holding the lantern he wanted to give her, and deliberately asked: "Madam, can you pass the four-sided lantern to me?"

Gu Yiyi handed it to him, "What do you want this lamp for? Isn't it for me?"

The corners of Shen Changfeng's lips curled up slightly, "It's for Madam, but there's no reason to send embryos when giving things. Naturally, I have to prepare them before giving them away."

Gu Yiyi replied "Hello", but she was thinking in her heart, what kind of flowers can be produced from a simple lantern? It was just something he made for her to make the children happy, and it looked like he was giving her something serious.

She didn't know why she was feeling depressed, but she also knew it wasn't the lanterns' fault.

Shen Changfeng saw something was wrong with her, but didn't say anything more and turned back to the study to get the lanterns.

After a while, several lanterns were ready, and only Shen Changfeng was left without writing a wish on the Kongming Lantern.

Dabao dutifully went to the study to call Shen Changfeng.

Shen Changfeng came out, glanced at the little tiger with fried fur on the ground, and almost laughed out loud.

Fortunately, he held back, pretending that he couldn't see it, and tied a small bamboo pole to each lantern with an expressionless face.

The small bamboo poles are used for jacquard lanterns and are polished smooth without burrs.

The children were very happy holding lanterns.

Shen Changfeng wrote his wish on the Kongming Lantern, and the five people released the Kongming Lantern together.

The white Kongming Lantern flew higher and higher, turning into a point of light with the wishes of the five people.
