"Dad, are we going to Grandpa and Grandma's house today?"
Lin Xiaoqian asked expectantly as she got out of bed.
Lin Chen playfully stroked her little nose and smiled, "Yes, you little sleepyhead. Get up quickly, we need to go to Grandpa and Grandma's place first, and then we'll all go together."
"Dad, I'm not a little sleepyhead."
"I got up right away, hee hee."
Lin Xiaoqian quickly climbed out of bed.
Lin Xiaoqian had just finished washing up when the doorbell rang. Xu Mengyao opened the door, and standing outside were Xu Guofeng and Yang Qingyue.
"Grandpa, Grandma."
Lin Xiaoqian called out happily.
Lin Chen asked in surprise, "Dad, Mom, why are you here? Didn't we agree that we would come and pick you up?"
Yang Qingyue picked up Lin Xiaoqian and said, "Whether you come to us or we come to you, it's the same. We woke up early, so we simply came over to meet you."
"Qianqian, you've been out for so long, did you miss Grandma?"
Lin Xiaoqian nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes. Grandma, I missed you, and I missed Grandpa too. I brought you gifts."
"Qianqian, what gifts are they?"
Xu Guofeng asked with a smile.
"Grandma, this way—"
Lin Xiaoqian pointed with her little finger, and Yang Qingyue carried her to the second bedroom. Xu Guofeng saw a painting drawn by Lin Xiaoqian.
He was stunned.
Yang Qingyue also looked at the painting in surprise.
They both had a certain level of aesthetic appreciation, and they could see that Lin Xiaoqian's painting was already very good.
Not to mention a child of a few years old, even most adults couldn't reach this level of painting.
Such colors, such composition and creativity, could it really be drawn by a child under three years old?
"Qianqian, did you draw this?"
Xu Guofeng asked in disbelief.
Lin Xiaoqian had painted well before, but they could barely understand and accept it. Now, it was a big step up.
"Yes, yes."
"Dad taught me, but I drew it myself. I also drew one for Grandpa and Grandma, Mom has kept it safe."
Lin Xiaoqian said in a childish voice.
Xu Guofeng looked at Lin Chen, who had followed them.
Lin Chen said, "It was indeed drawn by Qianqian. Qianqian's painting talent has improved. Some things she didn't understand before, she now understands completely."
"Her level has improved significantly."
Xu Guofeng looked at the painting again carefully, and he exclaimed, "Qianqian still has many shortcomings in technique, but the creativity, composition, and color of this painting are very strong."
Lin Chen nodded, "Some things are talent, and some things require a lot of time and effort to cultivate."
"Qianqian, thank you for the painting you gave to Grandma, Grandma likes it very much."
Yang Qingyue said with a smile.
Xu Guofeng curled his lips, "Wife, what are you saying? What do you mean a painting given to you? This is given to both of us, don't even think about monopolizing it."
Lin Xiaoqian giggled and said, "Grandpa, Grandma, if you like it, I'll draw another one for you later."
Xu Mengyao: "Qianqian, let's go eat breakfast. Dad, Mom, did you have breakfast before you came?"
Xu Guofeng coughed lightly, "We came in a hurry and didn't eat."
Yang Qingyue glanced at Xu Guofeng and said, "It wasn't that urgent, your dad just wanted to come over for breakfast."
Lin Chen said with a smile, "Dad, Mom, you can come over for meals anytime. We have some dumplings left from before, I'll cook some dumplings for you."
After breakfast, Lin Chen and the others set off quickly.
"Grandpa, Grandma, let's sing together."
Lin Xiaoqian said sweetly.
She and Xu Guofeng and Yang Qingyue sat in the back, Lin Chen drove the car, and Xu Mengyao sat in the passenger seat.
"Okay."
Yang Qingyue said with a smile, "Qianqian, would you like to start?"
Lin Xiaoqian quickly finished singing a song.
Yang Qingyue and Xu Guofeng discovered that Lin Xiaoqian sang even better in the short time they hadn't seen her.
This time to Yili, the environment was good and the scenery was beautiful, they sang many times, and Lin Chen naturally taught Lin Xiaoqian.
Lin Chen's singing skill was not far from the legendary level.
"Qianqian sings so well."
"Qianqian, who's singing next?"
Yang Qingyue said, clapping her hands.
Lin Xiaoqian said sweetly, "Dad taught me. Dad, you sing next, okay?"
Lin Chen said, "Qianqian, Dad needs to focus on driving, so Dad won't sing. Dad will just listen to the song, okay?"
"Dad, you can sing."
Lin Xiaoqian asked in confusion. Lin Chen used to sing while driving, and singing didn't affect Lin Chen's driving at all.
Xu Mengyao said with a smile, "Qianqian, your dad is afraid that he sings too well, and your grandparents will be embarrassed to sing later, so your dad will sing last."
"Lin Chen, are you also very good at singing?"
"I used to be the king of karaoke."
Xu Guofeng asked.
They had never heard Lin Chen sing before.
"So-so."
Lin Chen said with a smile.
Xu Guofeng nodded, "That means you're very strong. It seems that I, the king of karaoke, will have to abdicate to you."
"Qianqian, Grandpa will sing second."
Xu Guofeng started singing, and he sang quite well. However, compared to professionals, there was still some gap, and it was far from Lin Chen, who was at the Grandmaster level.
Before long, Yang Qingyue and Xu Mengyao also finished singing.
Their levels were all pretty good.
They all had a certain level of accomplishment in music.
"Dad, it's your turn."
Lin Xiaoqian said sweetly.
Lin Chen started singing, and he sang a grassland song. A song seemed to bring everyone to the vast grassland.
After he finished singing a song, Yang Qingyue exclaimed, "Xiao Lin, even if you take the path of singing, you can achieve great success."
"Forget about that."
Lin Chen smiled and said, "Qianqian, it's your turn again."
The five sang songs and unknowingly arrived at the airport.
More than two hours later, the plane landed at the airport of Lin Chen's hometown province.
After getting off the plane, Lin Chen saw two cars.
One was the Cullinan that Xu Mengyao used to drive, and the other was a business car of Xu Guofeng.
Xu Guofeng had asked someone to ship these two cars over in advance.
"Lin Chen, you drive this Cullinan."
"I'll drive this business car. It's the first time to your home, and there are some gifts for your parents inside."
Xu Guofeng said with a smile.
Lin Chen said in surprise, "Dad, how many gifts did you prepare? Isn't the trunk of this Cullinan big enough?"
"It's a little bit not enough."
"It's the first time I'm preparing a little more. Let's go quickly, it will take more than two hours to go to your home, right?"
Xu Guofeng said.
Lin Chen nodded, "Our home is a bit remote. I told my parents, they are used to living in their hometown, they don't want to move to Modu."
Xu Guofeng: "That's where they have lived their whole lives, that land raised them, it's hard to leave one's homeland."
"Young people like you may not understand this feeling."
"Get in the car, let's go."
Soon Lin Chen and the others got into the car. Yang Qingyue sat in Xu Guofeng's car, otherwise he would be pitifully alone.
In Lin Chen's home, Lin Chen's parents were looking forward to it.
Xu Mengyao dialed Lin Chen's mother Chen Mei's video: "Mom, we got off the plane, just left the airport."
"The navigation shows that we can arrive in a little over two hours."
Chen Mei said with a smile, "Mengyao, take your time, safety is the most important thing, what about your parents?"
Lin Xiaoqian said sweetly in the back row: "Grandma, Grandpa and Grandma are in another car, I'm here."
