What's your feeling at the beginning? The aloof lawyer is crying!

As the music started, people gathered around, some swaying gently to the music, while others stood up and danced.

The children were also infected by the cheerful atmosphere, holding the hands of Lin Wanyi and Jiang Tingyan and joining the dancing crowd. Although they were not very good at dancing the local dance, they danced to the rhythm with happy smiles on their faces.

The band played songs of various styles, including passionate marches and soothing folk songs, and each song seemed to tell the story of the small town.

During their visit to the town, they also encountered a local traditional festival.

The streets are filled with colorful lanterns and ribbons, people wear distinctive costumes, and hold various celebrations. Children watch the parade with excitement, some of whom dress up as mythological characters and some hold huge floats decorated with exquisite flowers and ribbons.

Lin Wanyi and Jiang Tingyan explained to the children in detail the meaning of these roles and activities, allowing the children to have a deeper understanding of the local culture.

The children also participated in some simple festival games, such as throwing a small ball to hit the target in the traditional way to win small prizes. Although the process was a bit tortuous, the children had a lot of fun, and in the end everyone was holding a small souvenir and was very happy.

The family strolled in the market of a European town. The bustling scene seemed like a vivid painting slowly unfolding before their eyes.

The children were like happy little birds, running back and forth between the stalls. Jiang Tingyan held the youngest child's hand tightly, fearing that he would get lost in the crowd, while Lin Wanyi held a camera, ready to capture those interesting moments at any time.

They first came to a stall selling handmade leather goods, which was filled with a variety of exquisite leather bags, belts and wallets, each of which exuded a unique texture and luster.

The stall owner is an old man with gray hair but sharp eyes. He is concentrating on carving patterns on a piece of leather.

The children gathered around curiously, their eyes wide open, watching the carving knife in the old man's hand dancing on the leather like flowing water. After a while, a lifelike flower appeared on the leather.

The old man noticed the children's gazes, stopped what he was doing, smiled, picked up a small leather keychain and handed it to the children, and introduced in not very fluent English that this was a gadget he made by himself and could be used as a souvenir.

The children took it with surprise and thanked him repeatedly. Jiang Tingyan took the opportunity to chat with the old man about the craftsmanship of leather goods. The old man explained enthusiastically, from leather selection to tanning, and then to the final carving and decoration, and Jiang Tingyan nodded frequently.

Then, they were attracted by a flower stall. The colorful flowers were arranged in a patchwork manner, and the fragrance of flowers drifted in the air, which was refreshing.

The stall owner was a young girl who enthusiastically recommended various flowers to them and carefully explained the meaning of each flower.

The children were fascinated by the story. Lin Yuelin pointed to a bunch of purple flowers and asked, "Sister, what kind of flowers are these? What does it mean?"

The girl smiled and replied: "This is lavender. Its flower language is waiting for love, but it also has the meaning of tranquility and relaxation. Many people like to use it to make sachets."

After hearing this, Lin Wanyi bought a small bunch of lavender and planned to go back and make it into sachets to put next to the children's pillows.

The girl also taught the children how to weave simple wreaths with fresh flowers. The children all tried to make them. Although they were crooked, they looked interesting when they wore them on their heads. People around them couldn't help laughing, and the children also smiled shyly.

Going further, there is a stall area filled with various specialties. The aroma makes the family's stomach growl. There are freshly baked sausages, the skin is golden and crispy, and when you take a bite, you can smell the sizzling oil and the aroma of meat;
There are also colorful fruit towers, with layers of pastry, fresh fruits and sweet cream, which look very tempting. The children stood in front of the stalls, staring at the delicacies with their eyes wide open, their mouths watering.

Jiang Tingyan smiled and bought a grilled sausage and a fruit tart for each child. The children couldn't wait to devour them, with satisfied looks on their faces.

While eating, they noticed a cheese stall nearby, which displayed cheeses of various shapes and colors. The stall owner was a fat uncle who enthusiastically invited them to taste.

The children hesitated for a moment, after all, they didn't have much contact with cheese, but with the uncle's encouragement, they bravely tasted it. The rich milky aroma spread in their mouths instantly, but the taste of some cheeses was still a little special to the children, their eyes lit up, and they felt it was very novel.

The uncle looked at the children's reactions and laughed, then patiently introduced to them the characteristics and eating methods of different cheeses.

In another corner of the market, there is a stall selling handicrafts, filled with small items made of wood, ceramics, glass and other materials.

The children stayed in front of this stall for a long time, picking out their favorite souvenirs.

Lin Ruize took a fancy to a ceramic kitten ornament, whose expression was so lifelike that it seemed as if it would come alive in the next second; Lin Yuelin fell in love with a colorful wind chime made of blown glass, which made clear and pleasant sounds when the breeze blew.

Seeing that the children were reluctant to let go of the items, Lin Wanyi and Jiang Tingyan fulfilled their wishes and bought the little items.

Just as they were about to leave the market, they suddenly heard a loud cheer.

It turned out that a group of local young people were holding a small football match in an open space not far away.

The children's eyes were immediately drawn to the game, and they ran over and stood by to watch. The game was very intense, with players from both sides going back and forth, neither giving in.

After a while, a ball rolled to the children's feet. One of the children picked up the ball and handed it to a player on the field somewhat embarrassedly.

The player took the ball with a smile and asked the children in English if they wanted to play together. The children immediately became excited and nodded.

So, after obtaining their parents' consent, the children joined in this impromptu football match.

Although their football skills were still somewhat inferior to those of the local young people, their enthusiasm and energy were undiminished. They ran and shouted on the field, enjoying this unexpected football fun to the fullest.

Lin Wanyi and Jiang Tingyan stood aside and watched the children, with gratified smiles on their faces, and from time to time they used their cameras to record this unforgettable scene.
