#383 - Chapter 383 Lin Chen Returns to the Village to Worship His Ancestors

Lin Xiaoxi covered her mouth with her small hand: "Daddy, I won't tell anyone, I want to protect Mommy."

"Xi Xi is so good."

"Thumbs up for you."

Lin Chen gently tapped Lin Xiaoxi's forehead with his thumb.

"Daddy, can I go out to play?"

Lin Xiaoxi asked.

She had been cooped up for quite a while on the plane and in the car.

Lin Chen smiled and said, "Of course you can. But don't run too far, just play in the yard, okay?"

"Okay, okay."

Lin Xiaoxi ran out.

Chen Mei asked, "Son, Mengyao, now that you're back, can you stay here for a few more days?"

Lin Chen smiled and said, "Mengyao is relatively free now, so it's no problem for us to stay for a week this time. Mom, how about you and Dad come to Modu with us after the New Year?"

Chen Mei nodded.

"We had that plan even if you didn't say it."

"You might have to go on a business trip at any time, and Mengyao and Xi Xi will need someone to take care of them then. Mengyao's mother isn't in good health, so it's better for us to go over."

Xu Mengyao said, "Thank you, Mom."

Chen Mei smiled and said, "We're family, no need to be polite. Mengyao, you've had a hard day today, rest well first, and we'll go to the ancestral shrine tomorrow."

Lin Chen looked at Lin Hai: "Dad, where did you put the wood I bought?"

Lin Xiaoxi wanted a treehouse.

Lin Chen bought a lot of wood online, and the wood was delivered to his hometown because he couldn't build a treehouse in Modu.

There were actually some trees around the Xu family's villa. Even if he built one, the property management and urban management wouldn't be able to say anything, but it wouldn't be good to be the first to build illegally.

"It's in the back."

"The wood you bought is very good."

Lin Hai led Lin Chen to the back of the villa.

A lot of wood that Lin Chen bought was piled up here. The surface of the wood was treated very smoothly, so Lin Chen could use it directly to build a treehouse.

"Daddy, what are these for?"

Lin Xiaoxi followed and asked.

Lin Chen smiled and said, "Xi Xi, guess."

Lin Xiaoxi thought for a while, and her eyes lit up: "Daddy, are these woods for building a treehouse, right?"

"That's right."

Lin Chen nodded.

Lin Xiaoxi cheered: "Building a treehouse! Daddy, how long will it take to build the treehouse?"

Lin Chen smiled and said, "If we work together, we can build it this afternoon, and you can play in the treehouse."

Lin Xiaoxi loved the elf house at home. The only thing she didn't like was that the elf house was inside the house, which wasn't a real treehouse.

"Daddy, I love you."

"Grandpa, I love you too."

Lin Xiaoxi said sweetly.

"Build it, let's build it right away."

Lin Hai couldn't stop smiling.

There were two big trees next to the villa, and one of them had large branches that met the conditions for building a treehouse.

Lin Chen and Lin Hai quickly moved the wood over.

They took out the ladder and started working enthusiastically.

Building an elf house in the house was more troublesome, but building a small wooden house on a tree was very easy for Lin Chen.

In just two hours, a beautiful treehouse was built.

"Xi Xi, the treehouse is ready."

"Go in and take a look."

Lin Xiaoxi said happily. She quickly climbed into the wooden house on the tree through the small wooden ladder. This wooden house was much bigger than the elf house in Modu.

There were also small tables and chairs in the wooden house.

Lin Chen hadn't just made these. He had already ordered them online and sent them over to air out the smell.

"Daddy, I'm here."

Lin Xiaoxi stuck her little head out of the treehouse window and said.

Lin Chen smiled and said, "Xi Xi, be careful, don't bump your head. Hold on tight when going up and down the stairs."

"Okay, okay."

Lin Xiaoxi nodded.

Xu Mengyao came to Lin Chen's side, she smiled and said, "Honey, with this treehouse, Xi Xi can have fun even if she's alone."

"Yeah."

Lin Chen nodded.

His daughter didn't want the moon in the sky, just a treehouse, what couldn't he satisfy her with?

Such a thing could become a beautiful memory of her childhood.

The next day.

Lin Chen and the others went to the mountains to worship their ancestors.

The path up the mountain was often covered by weeds, but now it had become a stone road.

"Dad, did you pay to have this repaired?"

Lin Chen asked.

Lin Hai shook his head: "No, the county repaired it. The roads in the village, including the road to the town, have been widened."

The entire county had produced a figure like Lin Chen, and now their county's annual financial allocation had increased a lot.

"Has anyone from the county come here?"

Lin Hai: "People come over almost every week, saying that if there's anything you're not satisfied with, tell them."

"We haven't made any requests."

"So as not to let people seize the handle and say that we are engaging in privileges and affecting you."

Lin Chen nodded slightly.

He looked back at Xu Mengyao, who was walking with Chen Mei: "Wife, can you walk? If you can't walk, I'll carry you."

"I'm fine... You know my situation. Don't even mention this little mountain, I can climb Mount Tai without any problem."

Xu Mengyao said.

Lin Xiaoxi giggled and said, "Mommy, you're bragging. Last time we went to Mount Tai, Daddy carried us up."

Xu Mengyao: "That was before, the current me is not the previous me, little Mount Tai is nothing."

She wasn't really bragging.

Her physique used to be much weaker than men, but now her physique is 30% stronger than ordinary men.

"Mengyao, don't mess around."

Chen Mei reminded.

Xu Mengyao quickly said, "Mom, I won't. I was just joking with Xi Xi."

Before long, Lin Chen and the others approached the top of the mountain.

Lin Chen's grandparents, including older ancestors, were all buried here.

Lin Hai lit incense and whispered, Lin Chen and the others couldn't hear clearly, but they could roughly guess that he was explaining the situation to his parents and ancestors.

"Grandparents, ancestors."

"The one next to me is my wife, Xu Mengyao, and we brought our daughter, Lin Xiaoxi, to see you."

"I hope that your spirits in heaven can bless them."

Lin Chen bowed.

Xu Mengyao quickly followed Lin Chen and bowed.

Lin Xiaoxi also imitated them in a decent manner.

After burning the paper money, Lin Hai said: "Son, you guys go further away, don't set off firecrackers and scare Xi Xi."

"Okay."

Lin Chen and the others moved away before Lin Hai lit the firecrackers.

Xu Mengyao smiled.

She felt relieved after worshiping her ancestors.

She had planned to come back to worship her ancestors last time, but she was attacked on the way and didn't make it. Xu Mengyao had always been concerned about this matter.

For the Chinese, worshiping ancestors is a major event.

She felt like she hadn't completely entered the Lin family without worshiping her ancestors.

A week passed in the blink of an eye.

Lin Chen and the others returned to Modu. Lin Hai and Chen Mei didn't come, they would only go to Modu after the New Year.

Xu Mengyao was newly pregnant and didn't need to be taken care of for the time being.

"Mr. Lin, how do you like this place?"

Tian Lang said.

The indoor shooting range that Lin Chen wanted was ready, and this indoor shooting range was near Lin Chen's Ziyuan community.

"It's pretty good."

Lin Chen smiled.

Tian Lang breathed a sigh of relief: "Mr. Lin, it's good that you think it's okay, then I'll go out first while you practice."

Xu Mengyao touched her belly and said, "Honey, will practicing shooting affect the baby?"

Lin Chen smiled and said, "If it had an impact, I wouldn't have let you practice before. There's no problem with your physique."
